Chapter 390 Fried Melon Seeds with Cream
Fried butter melon seeds are a popular snack known for their sweet and creamy flavor. Here are the general steps for making fried butter melon seeds:
Material preparation:
- Raw melon seeds: appropriate amount
- Cream: appropriate amount
- Salt: appropriate amount (adjust according to taste)
- Sugar: as needed (optional)
- Other seasonings: such as five-spice powder, chili powder, etc. (optional)
Production steps:
1. **Wash the melon seeds**: First, wash the raw melon seeds and remove impurities.
2. **Soak the melon seeds**: Soak the washed melon seeds in water for a while (about 1 hour). This will make the melon seeds fuller and less likely to get mushy when frying.
3. **Drain the water**: Take out the soaked melon seeds and drain the water with a sieve or kitchen paper.
4. **Preheat the pan**: Add a small amount of oil to the pan and preheat the pan.
5. **Fry the melon seeds**: Pour the drained melon seeds into the pot and slowly stir-fry over medium-low heat until the surface of the melon seeds turns slightly yellow and makes a crackling sound.
6. **Add butter**: When the melon seeds are half cooked, add an appropriate amount of butter and continue to stir-fry to allow the cream to fully blend into the melon seeds.
7. **Seasoning**: According to personal taste, you can add appropriate amount of salt and sugar, as well as other favorite seasonings such as five-spice powder, chili powder, etc.
8. **Continue to stir-fry**: Continue to stir-fry over low heat until the surface of the melon seeds is evenly coated with butter and seasoning, and the melon seeds are fully cooked and crispy.
9. **Remove from the pan and let cool**: Pour the fried butter melon seeds into a large plate and spread them out to cool. This will prevent the seeds from becoming soft due to the high residual temperature.
10. **Storage**: After the melon seeds have completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispy texture.

Stir-frying butter melon seeds is a job that requires skill. If you want to fry the melon seeds to be golden, crispy, and fragrant, you need to carefully control the heat and the rhythm of flipping. The following is an expansion of the above content to provide more detailed guidance:
1. **Use medium or low heat**: In the early stage of frying melon seeds, it is very important to use medium or low heat. Such heat can ensure that the melon seeds are heated slowly, and the cream and other seasonings can gradually penetrate into every cell of the melon seeds. The heat should not be too strong, so as to avoid the surface of the melon seeds being instantly charred while the inside is still hard.
2. The art of continuous flipping: Flipping the seeds is an important part of the frying process. You need to flip the seeds lightly like a dancer, making them jump in the pan, making sure that all sides are bathed in the warm light of the fire. This not only prevents the seeds from sticking to the pan, but also allows them to be evenly heated, so that they are uniformly crispy inside and out.
3. **The wisdom of preheating**: Before you throw the melon seeds into the battlefield, preheat the pot first, just like a soldier sharpening his weapons before a battle. The preheated pot allows the melon seeds to feel the heat as soon as they touch it. This warm-up exercise helps shorten the frying time and makes it easier for you to control the heat.
4. **Strategy of frying in batches**: If you have a large number of melon seeds, you might as well adopt a strategy of frying in batches. Only a small portion of melon seeds is put in each time, so that each melon seed can get full attention and care, thus ensuring the overall quality.
5. **Color observation**: During the frying process, your eyes are the best scouts. Pay close attention to the color changes of the melon seeds. When they change from the initial grayish white to an attractive golden yellow, accompanied by the pleasant sound of the shell cracking, it means that the melon seeds are about to usher in their perfect moment.
6. **The courage to taste**: Don’t be afraid to take out one or two seeds to taste during the frying process. This is the most direct way to test the results. By tasting, you can judge whether the seeds have reached the ideal crispness and taste.
7. **Fine adjustment of the heat**: As the melon seeds gradually approach maturity, you need to flexibly adjust the heat like a commander. If the melon seeds begin to look too dry, reduce the heat and add the right amount of butter to keep them moist and shiny.
8. **Magic use of residual heat**: When the seeds are almost done, turn off the heat and let the residual heat from the pan continue to gently roast the seeds. This gentle heat can help the moisture inside the seeds evaporate further while preventing the outer layer from being over-charred.
9. **Wisdom of cooling**: After the fried melon seeds are cooked, they should be taken out of the pan immediately and laid out on a clean surface to cool. During this process, the residual heat inside the melon seeds will continue to work, making them even crispier. Cooling is also a key step to make the melon seeds taste better.
Through the above expansion, we can see that fried butter melon seeds is not only a cooking skill, but also a careful artistic creation. Each step requires your carefulness and patience. Only in this way can you fry a pot of butter melon seeds that are unforgettable.
The key to avoiding burnt outer skin and raw inner skin when frying buttered melon seeds lies in controlling the heat, the frequency of frying, and the pre-treatment of the seeds. Here are some specific suggestions:
1. **Heat control**: Use medium or low heat for frying. High heat will easily cause the surface of the melon seeds to burn quickly, and the internal moisture will not have time to evaporate, causing the outside to burn and the inside to grow. Medium or low heat can allow the melon seeds to heat slowly, so that the temperature inside and outside gradually balances.
2. **Preheat the pan**: Preheat the pan before starting to fry. This way, the melon seeds can be quickly heated as soon as they are put into the pan. This helps to reduce the frying time and avoid the problem of scorching caused by long-term high temperature.
3. **Keep Stirring**: Keep stirring the seeds during the frying process to ensure that they are evenly heated. Uneven heating will cause some seeds to overheat and burn, while others may be undercooked.
4. **Soak the melon seeds**: Soak the melon seeds in water for a while (usually 1-2 hours) before frying. This will help the melon seeds absorb water and swell, making them easier to cook when fried.
5. **Drain thoroughly**: The melon seeds need to be drained thoroughly after soaking, otherwise the water will turn into steam when frying, which may cause the inside of the melon seeds to be undercooked.
6. **Fry in batches**: If you need to fry a large amount at one time, you can consider doing it in batches. Frying a smaller amount each time will make it easier to achieve even heating.
7. **Observe the color change**: Pay close attention to the color change of the melon seeds. When the surface of the melon seeds begins to turn golden yellow and you hear the sound of the melon seed shell cracking, it means that the melon seeds are almost cooked.
8. **Tasting test**: During the frying process, you can take out one or two melon seeds from time to time to taste and check whether the inside is cooked and the taste is crispy.
9. **Use residual heat**: When the melon seeds are almost done, you can turn off the heat and continue to heat them for a while using the residual heat of the pan. This will help further dry the inside of the melon seeds and prevent the outside from being over-scorched.
10. **Let the seeds cool**: Remove the fried seeds from the pan immediately and spread them out on a clean surface to cool. During the cooling process, the residual heat inside the seeds will make them even crispier.
By using the above method, you can effectively avoid the problem of melon seeds being burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, and fry melon seeds that are crispy and golden in color. Remember to be patient, observe carefully and adjust during the frying process to achieve the best frying effect.
When frying buttered sunflower seeds, choosing the right pan is crucial to ensuring the quality and taste of the seeds. Here are some tips to help you choose the best pan for frying buttered sunflower seeds:
1. **Non-stick pan**: Non-stick pans are recommended as they reduce the likelihood of seeds sticking to the pan, making stir-frying easier while also reducing the amount of oil used, which helps produce healthier seeds.
2. **Material**: Choose a thick-bottomed non-stick pan, because the thick-bottomed pan has better heat conductivity, can evenly distribute heat, reduce the risk of local overheating, and prevent the melon seeds from being burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.
3. **Size**: The size of the pan should be suitable for the amount of melon seeds you want to fry. If the pan is too big, the melon seeds will not be thick enough in the pan, which may cause uneven frying; if the pan is too small, the melon seeds will pile up together, which will also affect the uniform transfer of heat.
4. **Depth**: Choose a pot with a certain depth to prevent the melon seeds from splashing out during the stir-frying process. It also helps to retain heat and make the melon seeds stir-fried more evenly.
5. **Handle design**: Considering that frequent stir-frying is required during the frying process, choosing a pot with a comfortable handle will be more convenient to operate and reduce the risk of burns.
6. **Cleaning and maintenance**: Since butter melon seeds contain grease, the pan will be difficult to clean after frying. Therefore, choosing a non-stick pan that is easy to clean and maintain will save a lot of time and energy.
7. **Applicable stove**: Make sure the pot you choose is suitable for your stove type, whether it is an induction cooker, gas stove or electric stove, you must choose the corresponding compatible pot.
In summary, the best way to fry butter melon seeds is to choose a non-stick pan with a thick bottom, non-stick, suitable size, certain depth and comfortable handle. Such a pan can help you better control the heat and fry the butter melon seeds crispy and delicious.
