Spicy crayfish

Overview

The red oil I just made a few days ago comes in handy. Spicy crayfish is indispensable for the spiciness of red oil and the numbness of Sichuan peppercorns. It is best to use red-robed Sichuan peppercorns. The fragrance can be smelled from a distance. Although crayfish are delicious, there are a lot of processes to be done in order to eat clean crayfish. They need to be raised, brushed, cleaned, intestines, and gills cut off, etc. It is very troublesome. It is okay to eat it occasionally, but you don’t have so much time to do it if you eat it regularly

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Get the spices ready

   

2. 2 Slice and mince garlic and ginger and set aside

   

3. 3 Next comes the most troublesome part. After buying the crayfish, keep them in water mixed with salt and vinegar for half a day. About 20 grams of vinegar and 50 grams of salt are put in. The water is about 4000 grams

   

4. 4 After raising the crayfish, put 100g of salt and marinate it for half an hour. I hope it can be sterilized. After marinating, wash it and brush it with a toothbrush

   

5. 5 Then use scissors to remove the dirty things

   

6. 6 The place where the scissors started picked out a bunch of dirty stuff

   

7. 7 Grasp the middle of the tail end with your hands and pull gently, and the dirty intestines will come out

   

8. 8 If you have a dirty intestine, you need to be gentle and shake the intestine gently while pulling it to avoid breaking the intestines

   

9. 9 The processed crayfish should be marinated in high-strength white wine for 15 minutes, then rinsed and set aside

   

10. 10 Put 50 grams of oil in the pot and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add the spices and sauté until fragrant

    

11. 11 Pour in homemade red oil

    

12. 12 I put about 100 grams

    

13. 13 Add the crayfish and fry over high heat for a few minutes

    

14. 14 Pour in water just enough to cover the crayfish

    

15. 15 Turn off medium-low heat and cover with lid to simmer. There is still about 300 grams of water left. Only some juice will taste delicious. It will not work if it is too dry

    

16. 16 This is my husband’s late-night snack. I have another glass of beer. My husband says it’s delicious and we can open a shop. Hearing the compliments makes the hard work worthwhile

    

17. 17 Delicious, you deserve it
