The shallots that are just picked from the farm

採收回來的紅蔥頭

will be made into fried shallots.

要做成油蔥酥

Frying shallots is quite easy.

油蔥酥的做法很簡單

But it takes a lot of time

現在我們要把它們剝成更小塊並進入下一個步驟

Peeling the shallots

剝蒜頭的時間

is a good time for people to get together.

也是大家相互交流的好時光

By the way, why are the fried shallots in Nanshing so famous?

話說 為什麼南興里的紅蔥頭這麼有名呢

The major reason is the salt in the farmland.

最主要是土壤裡的鹽分

Farmland elsewhere doesn't contain as much salt as here does.

別處的農地不像這裡含有那麼多的鹽分

This is why the cherry tomatoes and fried shallots

所以我們南興里的小蕃茄

in Nanshing are especially delicious (and the radishes, too).

紅蔥頭（還有菜頭） 都很好吃

Now we're going to tear out the outer part, the outer layer,

現在我們要把最外面的那層表皮撕掉

so that you can see inside,

這樣可以看到裡面

this is the pink and purplish part of the onion.

是帶點粉和紫的紅蔥頭

Like this.

像這樣

So now, this inner bright side, is what we want.

現在亮面的這個部分 就是我們要的紅蔥頭

I find this color very beautiful, it's like the color of spring.

我覺得這個顏色很漂亮 很像春天的顏色

After peeling the shallots,

剝好紅蔥頭

we have to wash them

接下來要清洗

to get rid of the mud and dirt on the surface.

將表面的泥土和灰塵洗乾淨

Then, we dry the shallots under the sun.

洗淨後 還要將蒜頭曬乾

After they're dried, the shallots are cut into slices.

曬乾後 把它切成薄片

You can also use a pair of scissors to do it.

也可以用剪刀剪喔

Sliced shallots can be eaten directly.

切好的紅蔥頭可以生吃

But it's quite challenging to bear the taste.

只是味道蠻有挑戰性的

Wow, it smells a little different from

哇 紅蔥頭的味道聞起來 真的和

the normal onions we used to eat!

我們平常吃的洋蔥不太一樣

It's so special.

It has a really strong taste.

有一種很強烈的味道

The whole smell is thrilling up my mouth and head,

紅蔥頭的香味竄入我的嘴裡 直衝腦門

but it's good.

但味道很棒

After cutting them into little pieces like these,

把紅蔥頭像這樣切成碎片後

they're going to put them under the sun,

他們會將這些小塊的紅蔥頭在太陽下曝曬

and dry them up,

曬乾後

so that they will become little crunchy pieces.

就會變成像這樣的紅蔥頭小脆片

You know what?

你知道嗎

This procedure is really time-consuming

這個過程真的很耗時

and it also needs a lot of hard work.

也需要花費很大的精力

After drying them up,

光是曝曬階段

even though on good days, it can also take up a week,

即便是好天氣 也需花上一星期

or even more days.

甚至更多天

為了製作出美味的紅蔥頭讓更多人品嚐

it really takes a lot of hard work.

確實必須要花很大的心力來製作

記得抱著一顆感恩的心細細品嚐它

And now we're going to fry it.

現在我們要炸這些紅蔥頭囉

Now we're going to add the sliced shallots into the wok.

接下來將切好的紅蔥頭下鍋油炸

Remember to do it when the oil is in medium heat.

趁著溫油下鍋

Don't overheat the oil,

千萬不能讓油過熱

or you may burn the shallots!

不然很容易就會焦掉喔

Just stirring the pot, it takes one and a half hour!

光是攪動鍋內的紅蔥頭就要花一個半小時

Can you believe this?

你能相信嗎

To fry these Chinese shallots, it can take up one

光是攪動鍋子 炸這鍋紅蔥頭
