Every bowl of soup contains a strong taste and emotion, which has become a beautiful memory in my life.
Today, I want to share with you my experience in learning to make authentic Cantonese soup, hoping to bring you a delicious and warm taste.
1. Material selection:
In my cooking experience, I deeply realized the importance of choosing ingredients, especially making a bowl of authentic Cantonese soup.
The correct selection of ingredients not only affects the taste of the soup, but also directly affects the nutritional value and taste of the soup, which makes me more aware of the uniqueness of Guangdong soup.
Choosing fresh ingredients is the key to making authentic Cantonese soup.
Whether it is chicken or shark's fin, vegetables or medicinal materials, choosing fresh and high-quality ingredients is the basis to ensure the delicious soup.
I will carefully select tender chicken to ensure the integrity of shark fin texture, and select fresh vegetables and herbs to ensure that every ingredient in the soup can fully release its original aroma and nutrition.
2. stew:
First of all, stew can perfectly integrate the umami flavor and nutrition of ingredients into soup.
In the process of stewing, the ingredients gradually release their natural aroma and nutrition, and fully blend with the soup.
I will choose to slowly add the ingredients into the pot, and then stew at a suitable temperature, so that the soup can fully penetrate into each ingredient and make the soup more rich.
Secondly, stewing can make the ingredients more delicate and soft.
Guangdong soup is usually nourishing, in which chicken and shark's fin need to be stewed for a long time to achieve the ideal taste.
I will choose to put the ingredients in a saucepan and cook them slowly with slow fire, so that the ingredients will gradually become brittle and rotten, while maintaining the original taste.
3. Temperature:
Guangdong soup pursues the original flavor of ingredients, and it needs to perfectly release the delicacy and nutrition of ingredients at the right temperature.
I will adjust the cooking size and time according to different ingredients and ingredients to ensure that the soup is rich and not turbid, and the taste is fresh but not too soft and rotten.
This requires careful observation and constant trial, so that every soup can be cooked just right.
The mastery of the heat is also related to the color and texture of the soup. Guangdong soup usually presents a clear and transparent appearance, and the soup color is clear and not turbid.
In the cooking process, I will control the heat, so that the pigment of the ingredients will be gradually released, but the soup will not be turbid.
This fine control requires patience and care, but in the end it can present fascinating colors and textures, which people can also enjoy visually when tasting.
4. Seasoning:
Seasoning is the key to highlight the original flavor of ingredients. Guangdong soup pursues the original flavor of ingredients, so the characteristics and umami taste of ingredients should be fully considered in seasoning.
When seasoning, I will add the right amount of seasoning accurately according to the nature and taste of the ingredients, aiming at enhancing the natural aroma of the ingredients, rather than masking their taste.
This precise seasoning can fully display every ingredient and make the soup more delicious.
Seasoning is also the key to balance the taste and taste of soup. Guangdong soup is usually light and delicious, so it is necessary to keep a moderate balance between salt and freshness when seasoning, so that the taste of the soup is not single, but can bring a multi-level taste experience in the mouth.
I will add salt, soy sauce, clear soup and other seasonings according to the types and ingredients of the soup to ensure that the soup is delicious but not too thick and memorable.
Beibei has something to say:
It takes heart and patience to make a bowl of authentic Cantonese soup.
Every step is full of emotion and warmth, and every bite of soup is a respect for ingredients and a love for life.
By learning to cook soup, I not only feel the charm of food, but also feel the inheritance of traditional culture and emotional exchange.
Let's make a bowl of authentic Cantonese soup with our heart and taste the beauty and warmth of life!
