It is often said that people should drink more soup when they are in poor health. Now, you can make soup at home whenever you have time and mood on weekdays. It seems that soup making is also a fashion. Today, let's learn how to make a good soup.
When you read the recipe, you always say "Bring the meat out of the water or fly it". What do you mean? What are the advantages of doing so? When using chicken, duck, ribs and other meat to make soup, first soak the meat in boiling water. This process is called "water coming out" or "flying water", which can not only remove blood, but also remove some fat to avoid being too fat.
every time I cook fish soup, the soup is ready and the fish is out of shape. What should I do? You can't use the method of boiling water to cook fish soup, but you should first fry the fish on both sides with oil, so that the fish skin will not be fragile and rotten, and it will not smell fishy.
is it better to cook soup with cold water or hot water? Cold water is better, boiling water will make protein solidify quickly, and it is not easy to taste. What pot should I use for soup? It is advisable to choose a fine casserole for soup. The enamel of inferior casserole contains a small amount of lead, which is easy to dissolve when cooking acidic food, which is harmful to health. The pottery pot with white inner wall is very easy to use. Why is the meat after the soup very firewood? After the lean meat is boiled in soup, the meat quality is rough. You can choose semi-fat and semi-lean meat, but the lean meat of the pig's front foot is still tender and edible after stewing for many hours.
Fish soup and broth in restaurants are like milk, and they feel very nourishing, but cooking soup at home can't always produce this effect. Why? Only when oil and water are fully mixed can milk be produced. When making broth, you should first boil it with high fire, then cook it thoroughly with low fire, and then change it to high fire. When cooking fish soup, you should first fry it thoroughly in oil, then add boiling water and use high fire. Also note that the water should be added at one time, and then replenished in the middle, and the soup will drain.
What spices should I add to the soup? Do you want monosodium glutamate? When do you put the salt? Most northerners think that spices should be added to soup, such as onion, ginger, pepper, aniseed, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine and so on. In fact, from the experience of Cantonese soup, it is unnecessary to pay attention to the original flavor when drinking soup. If necessary, a piece of ginger is enough. Salt should be added last, because it can solidify protein and hinder the diffusion of umami ingredients.
is it better to cook soup as long as possible? Wrong! The nutrients in the soup are mainly amino acids. If the heating time is too long, new substances will be produced, but the nutrition will be destroyed. Generally, fish soup takes about 1 hour, chicken soup and sparerib soup takes about 3 hours.
Although the soup is nourishing, it is a little fatty. What should I do? You can boil the soup and turn it off. After cooling, the oil floats on the noodle soup, or solidifies on the noodle soup, remove it with a spoon and then boil the soup.
should I eat soup before or after meals? Ordinary people drink soup before meals, which can promote the secretion of gastric juice and help digestion and absorption, but people with superficial gastritis should drink it after meals to avoid aggravating symptoms < P > Teach you to cook soup < P > Many people like to cook soup at home, but it is often irrelevant. Try some tips we introduced, and you are sure to cook delicious soup for your family.
Soup becomes fresh: it's best to use cold water to make soup. If hot water is poured into the pot at the beginning, the surface of the meat is suddenly exposed to high temperature, and the outer protein of the meat will solidify immediately, so that the inner and outer protein can not be fully dissolved into the soup; In addition, don't put salt in the soup too early, salt will make the water contained in the meat run out quickly, and it will also accelerate the solidification of protein and affect the umami taste of the soup; Soy sauce should not be added early, and seasonings such as onion, ginger and wine should not be put too much, otherwise it will affect the umami flavor of the soup itself.
Soup becomes clear: If the soup is clear and not turbid, it must be simmered to make the soup only boil and not boil. Because the protein molecules in the soup will condense into many white particles, and the soup will naturally be turbid.
Thickening of soup: In the absence of fresh soup, the soup should be thickened. First, the soup should be thickened by adding a thin thicken. The second is to add oil, so that the oil and soup are mixed into emulsion. The method is to heat the oil first, wash down the soup, cover the lid tightly and burn it with strong fire. After a while, the soup will become thicker.
Soup becomes weak: Just sew flour or rice in a small cloth bag, put it in the soup and cook it together, and the salt will be absorbed, and the soup will naturally become weak; You can also add a washed raw potato and cook it for 5 minutes, so that the soup can be diluted.
Soup becomes refreshing: Some raw materials with too much grease make the soup particularly greasy. In this case, a small amount of laver can be roasted on the fire and then sprinkled into the soup to remove the greasy.
Soup becomes beautiful: cut 5 to 1 grams of slightly fatter pork into slices or dices, then heat the wok. After the pork is heated, immediately pour the boiling water into the wok. The pot will explode and turn up a big splash. After a while, a pot of milky "stock" will come out. Then add vegetables and seasonings according to your own preferences.
Primary school who cooks soup asks
Material selection: It is best to choose ginseng, angelica, medlar, astragalus, yam, lily and lotus seeds which are recognized by the people as having no side effects. In addition, you can choose a mild soup according to your physical condition. If the body is full of internal heat, you can choose Chinese herbal medicines such as mung beans, kelp, wax gourd and lotus seeds. If the body is too cold, then you should choose ginseng as the soup.
water temperature: when the meat is cooked in cold water, the protein on the outer layer of the meat will not solidify immediately, and the protein on the inner and outer layers can be fully dissolved in the soup. Only when the water temperature is appropriate, the soup tastes delicious.
blanking: the meat should be blanched first, and the residual blood in the meat should be removed to ensure that the soup is right. The whole chicken should be stewed to ensure that the meat quality of the chicken is fine and not rough after the soup is cooked. In addition, don't put salt too early, salt will make the water contained in the meat run out quickly, and it will also accelerate the solidification of protein and affect the umami taste of the soup.
heat: don't overdo it, and the heat is based on the boiling degree of the soup. After boiling, simmer slowly, which usually takes about three hours. Because ginseng contains a kind of ginsenoside, if it is boiled for too long, it will decompose and lose its nutritional value, so the best time to boil ginseng soup is about 4 minutes.
Treatment of the cooked meat: No matter how long it takes to cook the soup, the nutrition of the meat can't be completely dissolved in the soup, so you should eat a proper amount of meat after drinking the soup.
