My girlfriend and I took the Huaguo Mountain in Jishou to barbecue on May Day. What should four people prepare?

A complete guide to barbecue (summary of all kinds of web pages found)

First, food.

Meat food is perishable, so be sure to choose fresh food. It is recommended to go to the supermarket to buy pickled mutton kebabs, and check the shelf life when buying them. Be careful not to choose frozen meat when you cook it yourself. Don't cut the meat too big or too small. Marinate with salt, monosodium glutamate, ginger juice, onion juice and other seasonings, and wear them with bamboo sticks for later use. Chicken wings should be marinated one day in advance, with a little soy sauce or red soy sauce, then all kinds of seasonings, fresh spicy powder or thirteen spices, plus some chicken essence (monosodium glutamate causes cancer after heating), and sprinkle some fine salt when baking. Pickled food needs to be put in the refrigerator, packed and then left to keep fresh. Sausages should not be barbecued with strong fire, otherwise the sausage surface will turn black and paste easily. Pay attention to frequent turns. It will be more authentic to eat with western mustard.

Live fish should be scaled, eviscerated, washed and salted with salt and wine. If you roast fresh squid and cuttlefish larvae directly on the fire, you can fix them with bamboo sticks or toothpicks first. If you want to save trouble, you can also go to the supermarket to buy processed shrimp skewers, fresh shellfish skewers and other semi-finished products similar to mutton skewers.

Vegetables, fruits and vegetables can adjust the type of barbecue, so that people will not feel too greasy. The most popular should be potatoes and corn. Sweet potatoes, yams, taro and vegetables are all good choices, but they must be processed in advance. Potatoes should be peeled and sliced; Choose a thinner yam; Choose smaller taro; Sweet potatoes are best peeled and sliced; Wash the vegetables; Garlic is especially recommended. Garlic has a unique taste when roasted, and garlic itself has bactericidal effect, which is very suitable for outdoor consumption. Brush some butter and honey before baking corn on the fire, so it will smell good. Some fruits and nuts, such as apples, bananas and walnuts, can also be baked to see if you like them. Need to be reminded that chestnuts are easy to' explode' when roasted, so be especially careful. It is best to cut a small mouth first. There are ready-made skewers in the supermarket, and it is said that the roast tastes good.

Pasta and bean products are things that can fill the stomach. Baked pasta also has the function of nourishing the stomach, which is very suitable for friends with stomach problems. Most pasta barbecues don't need any seasoning, and their aroma is already very attractive, but if the steamed bread slices are brushed with oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper, the taste will be more beautiful. Tofu blocks are different from yuba, and they need barbecue sauce to flavor them. If you choose tofu blocks, you can go to the rest assured tofu shop and buy ready-made tofu blocks directly.

Second, seasoning

The basic seasonings are: cumin powder, salt and pepper (which can replace salt), black pepper powder, Chili powder, blended oil and sugar water. You can choose barbecue sauce with different flavors according to your personal preference. In addition, in the process of barbecue, many fatty foods will drip oil after heating. When these oil droplets are burned by charcoal fire, they will produce a high flame to scorch the food on the grid. If sprayed with water, it will only produce oil fume to pollute food. At this time, just sprinkle some salt on the fire to solve the problem.

Barbecue skills

1. "direct barbecue" and "indirect barbecue"

There are many ways of barbecue, such as roasting, stewing, roasting and frying, among which "roasting" belongs to open fire barbecue, also known as direct barbecue; While others are called indirect barbecues.

First, direct barbecue

(1) Put the ball carbon in the center of the barbecue carbon rack.

② Put the vegetables and meat in the center of the baking net and barbecue directly.

B, indirect barbecue

(1) spherical carbon is ignited and placed at both ends of the carbon frame.

② Meat and vegetables are placed in the middle of the barbecue grill.

(3) Cover the furnace cover, adjust the heat with air door, and cook food by smoking and stewing.

2. Master the barbecue time and temperature of common foods.

The quality of barbecue food is influenced by many factors, such as the length of barbecue time, the mastery of cooking temperature, the choice of barbecue equipment and even the environment at that time. To achieve the best barbecue effect, the above factors can not be ignored, especially the control of barbecue time and duration is the key.

Generally speaking, indirect barbecue takes longer than direct barbecue.

barbecue

(1) Spread a layer of charcoal on the charcoal net and pile it into a pyramid shape. Pour in accelerant such as alcohol to fully absorb the charcoal for about one minute, light the paper prepared in advance and put it into the furnace, and the charcoal will start to burn. If you are afraid of cleaning trouble, you can put a layer of aluminum foil under the charcoal, but the combustion will be affected to some extent.

(2) charcoal began to burn, accompanied by a small amount of black smoke. Add a baking net at this time. After burning 10- 15 minutes, the open flame gradually decreased or disappeared, and white ash appeared on the surface of charcoal, indicating that the ideal barbecue temperature had been reached. At this time, spread charcoal evenly on it, and put your hands on the baking net, and your hands will feel warm.

③ Place the food that needs to be barbecued evenly in the center of the baking net, so as to ensure that the food is heated evenly everywhere.

(4) Adjust the position of food according to the need during the barbecue process, so that all parts are heated evenly. If you are grilling thick food such as steak, you should roast one side first and then the other side, otherwise it will be difficult to cook and may be burnt.

When barbecuing, don't forget to put a little oil on the skewers and turn the food from time to time. The food baked in this way tastes more fragrant and is not easy to burn. When the food is cooked, spread your favorite sauce and add seasoning.

Chuanchuan

Wash the meat and vegetables to be roasted first, and then cut the meat into 2-4 cm long and 0.8 cm wide squares (which can also be customized): cut the ribs and price them according to your local market price; After scaling the fish, break it, gut it, wash it, and cut it into pieces 12 cm long or the whole fish with infinite length: lotus root is used to pierce the raw lotus root. Then the bamboo sticks are strung together: the meat is placed in a T-shape; Fish, eggplant and other large strings use two for each string.

Fourth, baking.

1, fire: first clean the oven and put it away, add charcoal (millet charcoal) and light it, let the charcoal burn fully, then cut the charcoal fire with tongs and spread a fire layer with a thickness of 1.5-2 cm.

2. Baking: Put the food skewers on the stove surface, and directly brush the meat and ribs with oil (both sides are brushed) and bake them repeatedly. The strings look like oil bubbles rolling, and the color turns white and yellow, indicating maturity. Chicken feet should be roasted until there is a frying sound, chicken wings should be roasted until they are browned, and chicken legs should be browned with a knife while brushing oil, and there is no blood spilling inside, indicating maturity. The baking time depends on the size of the heat and the type of skewers, but don't burn them. Brush the oil while baking, and sprinkle with spicy powder, cumin horn or powder in time when the food is baked to 90% maturity. Brush it with oil, bake it a little, and you can sell it out of the oven. Do not eat spicy food without spicy powder.

3. Put the vegetables on the stove surface, then add the vegetable powder, brush them evenly with an oil brush, toss and turn the eggplant and so on to bake it soft and yellow, sprinkle with spicy powder and cumin, brush it with oil and bake it for a few seconds before selling.
