Scope: A standard process description in a study on quality control for mole poblano (based on Gironella 1994)

Describes the process as Una vez concluida la limpieza se procede a freír por separado y a fuego bajo cada uno de los ingredientes hasta que el aspecto visual sea un dorado suave (in translation: "once the cleaning is finished, each of the ingredients is pan-fried separately over low heat until its visual appearance is a light golden color").
Limitations: This is a process description for a single case in this paper and does not show variation by vendor or region. Note that the heating goes only up to "a light golden color," not to actually charring the ingredient.
