Cantonese people make old fire soup, and most people don't just add some vegetables and water. Many people will also add Chinese herbal medicines, such as Ejiao red jujube black chicken soup, yam poria squab soup, Polygonatum odoratum lily quail soup, Polygonatum sibiricum oxtail soup and so on. Coupled with the addition of Chinese herbal medicines, Cantonese people need to cook soup for a long time, not with an iron pot, but with a casserole or a special stew pot, so as to give full play to their efficacy.
For example, in the old fire soup above, besides chicken, there are also materials such as medlar, red dates and Polygonatum odoratum?
Besides, when Cantonese people make soup, they still need to cook it for a long time, like the canteen outside? Clear soup noodles? What is the general name of vegetarian soup in Guangdong? Ding washing water? The tasteless food is the water that washes the pot, and it can't be called soup at all.
The most obvious thing about Guangdong old fire soup is that the soup is very thick and there will be no light water. Even ordinary food can cook a pot of thick soup for you without herbs.
In fact, Cantonese people also know that the old fire soup cooked in this way is high in purine, and there is a risk of ventilation if you drink too much. There are even many young friends. Because in the coastal areas, I have been eating seafood, drinking beer and drinking old fire soup for a long time, and now I have gout. Just eating beer barbecue or drinking too much old fire soup, their whole feet are swollen. Pig feet? Too painful to walk?
But maybe? Guangdong people are all foodies? Well, you know it's not good to eat and drink like this, or can't keep your mouth shut?
