Is bacon salty?

Introduction to bacon

Bacon is meat smoked with charcoal and sawdust. Because the water and floating fat in the meat are removed, although there will be some loss of vitamins, the protein content is the same as that of bacon. The content of minerals is greater than that in fresh meat, and the nutritional value is still high. There are more than 10 varieties of bacon, including smoked pork belly, smoked pig head, smoked pig trotters, smoked pork ribs, smoked offal, etc.

The method of smoking meat is to cut the meat into pieces according to certain specifications, sprinkle with salt, put it on a wooden frame and smoke it with pine wood to dry it, so that it can be stored for a long time. Another way to make it is to hollow out the sheep's internal organs, burn off the hair, chop the skin and meat into pieces, sprinkle with salt, smoke and dry it, and store it until June or July of the following year. In addition, sprinkle lean beef and mutton meat with salt and pour it into the casing, tie it tightly at both ends, dry it, and call it sausage. Horse sausage and sausage are rich in fat. After being smoked and grilled, they taste delicious and can be preserved for a long time.

Many people say that bacon contains carcinogens, but this substance is not the nitrite used in curing bacon, but the imide produced by the reaction between nitrite and meat due to incomplete curing. Or the harmful substances in the smoke did not remove the coke and tar attached to the surface of the meat during smoking. Those bacon that looks light and clean are delicious and safe.

How to make bacon

The production of Chaigoubao bacon is roughly divided into three stages: material preparation, meat cooking and smoking. When preparing the ingredients, use about 100 pounds of second-grade meat with about one inch of fat and cut it into five-inch square chunks. The thickness is generally about an inch and a half. Ingredients in the first pot: aniseed, pepper, spices, cinnamon, cloves, amomum villosum. Prepare green onions, ginger, garlic, sweet noodle sauce, and when cooking the meat, add the spine first, and put the other skinned meat pieces on top. Add another two pounds of green onions, half a pound of garlic, and an appropriate amount of salt. Finally, add water to cover the meat. After it boils over slow heat, add sweet noodle sauce, black noodle sauce, soybean curd, soy sauce, and vinegar. After the pot is boiled, turn the meat pieces upside down and continue to simmer over slow heat. Turn the pot every half an hour. It will take about two to four hours. Since the meat is cooked slowly, the oil layer tightly covers the broth, and all the condiments in the pot can be absorbed into the meat, so the meat tastes delicious. This is the key to making Chaigoubao bacon. When smoking, drain all the oil and soup, put it on the iron grate, put three to four ounces of cypress sawdust in the iron pot under the iron grate, cover the pot, and heat it over slow fire for fifteen minutes, then it is out of the pot. This is how it is made. The Chaigoubao bacon produced has excellent color, aroma and taste, and is deeply loved by eaters.

First cook the meat in boiling water, remove it and cut it into cubes, add oil to the pot and add an appropriate amount of sugar, then add the meat and stir-fry, finally add water and add other seasonings, boil and use Simmer over low heat until the meat is cooked through, then remove from the pot and serve in a bowl.
