Watermelon Seeds with Licorice Recipe
Ingredients:
- Watermelon seeds: 500g
- Peanut oil: 10g (divided into 3 portions)
- Salt: 25g
- Licorice: 3g
- Quicklime: 50g
- Fresh water: 650ml (for soaking and cooking)
Method:
1. Start by preparing the quicklime solution. Pour 50g of quicklime into a large bowl and add 500ml of fresh water. Stir well until fully mixed, then let it settle for a while to create clear lime water. Once ready, soak the watermelon seeds in the lime water for 4 to 5 hours. After soaking, remove the seeds and rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Gently peel off the thin mucous membrane from the outer shell of the seeds.
2. In a small pot, combine 25g of salt and 3g of licorice. Add 150ml of fresh water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain the liquid to remove the licorice, leaving behind a fragrant licorice-infused salt solution.
3. Heat a wok over low heat and add 4g of peanut oil. Once the oil is warm, add the washed watermelon seeds and stir-fry gently. Continue frying until most of the moisture has evaporated. Then, add another 3g of peanut oil and stir for a few more minutes. Finally, add the last 3g of peanut oil and stir-fry briefly before removing from heat.
4. Transfer the fried watermelon seeds into the licorice salt solution. Cover the container and let the seeds soak for 1 to 2 hours. This allows the flavor to penetrate deeply.
