Not all good foods are perfectly presented by adding various seasonings. As the saying goes, "a good cook has a handful of salt", which fully shows that good food can perfectly satisfy our taste buds by simply adding salt. However, you suggested that cooking in rural areas does not add monosodium glutamate, and the dishes made are delicious. I think there are three reasons:
Reason one:
All kinds of ingredients in rural areas are better. Let's talk about vegetables first Vegetables in rural areas have a long growth cycle, mostly seasonal vegetables. No pesticides, no fertilizers, all agricultural organic fertilizers. There is no deliberate ripening. Are naturally ripe, such as tomatoes. Most cities use ripening agents, and rural areas naturally ripen. Tomatoes taste sour and sandy. Let's talk about meat. Poultry raised in rural areas has a long cycle, eats everything and exercises a lot. Therefore, the poultry meat is firm, and the dishes made are particularly delicious, and there is no other fishy smell. Finally, in rural areas, we always choose what we eat, and kill the chicken and fish when we eat chicken, thus keeping the freshness of ingredients in the first place.
Reason two:
Many delicious foods in rural areas are very different from those in cities. Most of them are firewood stoves in rural areas. This kind of stove is more delicious in cook the meat, which is better than the one in the city without all kinds of spices. First of all, the firewood stove can effectively control the size and temperature of the fire, and the pursuit speed in the city is fast, so people usually use fire or pressure cooker to come to cook the meat. The food made in this way is definitely not as delicious as the stew stewed for 4 to 5 hours on a small fire in the countryside. If MSG and other seasonings are added to the stew in the city in time, it will not catch up with the salted stew in the countryside. Therefore, in the long firewood, rural dishes without monosodium glutamate are particularly delicious.
Reason three:
In many rural areas, there are many old ways to improve the flavor of food without monosodium glutamate. For example, in order to improve the taste, many rural people can add different ingredients to improve the umami flavor. For example, if we want to eat sour food, we will add lemon to the ingredients. We can add dried mushrooms to the stew to enhance the flavor of the meat. In addition, we can add shrimp skin when stewing soup, and add a little dried seaweed when cooking, which can replace monosodium glutamate to increase the delicious food, so adding natural ingredients will definitely make the food more delicious.
The above three reasons are the reasons why rural dishes are delicious without monosodium glutamate.
Hello, monosodium glutamate is only one of the delicious sources, not the only one.
In rural cooking, many ingredients are made from local materials, which are not only fresh, but also grow naturally with little manual intervention. In other words, the ingredients are simpler. Good ingredients often only need simple cooking to make fresh and delicious. This is also an important reason!
Rural people come to answer.
Before talking about rural food, I have to talk about the "killing pig food" I eat in the countryside every year! I believe that people who have eaten their own domestic pork in the countryside will unconsciously swallow their saliva, and the author clearly remembers that when I was a child, I lived in the countryside and killed pigs at home every New Year or when I had a happy event. The villagers in the village came to help and made a "pig-killing dish" on the table to give the villagers a big meal. Looking back now, although I was young at that time, I also felt that such a "killing pig dish" was the best dish in the world. That meat smells even better than beef essence now. That kind of delicious pork can't compare with that bought in big cities. Whenever I think of the word "killing pig dishes", I can't help but drool.
Indeed, dishes such as "killing pigs" are all the ingredients you choose in the countryside. Of course, compared with lobster and abalone in big city hotels, it is naturally impossible to compare the value. Rural people basically have some agricultural products raised at home, such as chickens, ducks, geese, fish and all kinds of vegetables, which are well-known natural original ecological ingredients, so they are only one step away from the table. Of course, such authentic dishes are also the "green food" that many city people strive to pursue, which is also an important reason why many city people like to go to the countryside to buy the ingredients that farmers grow themselves.
First, the so-called "relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on the sea to eat the sea" is the "best" ingredient. In my opinion, many people think that rural local dishes are delicious for two main reasons: First, the ingredients are fresh. Let's talk about pork first In rural areas, many chickens, ducks and fish are raised by themselves, and they eat natural grains, not farmed in mechanized farms. The villagers don't buy any feed, and most of them use the surplus grain from their own farmland as feed, all of which are natural and organic vegetables. Coupled with the reason of stocking, many animals often walk around, which is definitely better than the animals fed with captive feed; The second is vegetables. In rural areas, only those who farm in their own fields or in front of or behind their houses can grow their own vegetables, even if they open a few wasteland casually, they can also farm in turn in four seasons. Moreover, farmers rarely use pesticides and fertilizers for their own vegetables (also because of cost saving). Although it is not absolutely pollution-free, it will at least taste more pure than the vegetables grown with chemical fertilizers. Every time I go back to the countryside to eat vegetables, it doesn't taste like "chlorophyll" like the vegetables in the market in the city now. The so-called "delicious food" is the reason why rural food becomes delicious.
Second, authentic specialty materials and authentic firewood cooking do not need too many "fancy" condiments to decorate rural local dishes. Refers to the livestock raised by farmers, vegetables irrigated with farmyard manure in their own fields, and then cooked with firewood stoves. The firewood cooking mentioned here is also a key idea! I wonder how many readers have seen "earthen stoves" in rural areas and eaten meals made of wood? Firewood is still burned in many places in rural areas, which is different from "natural gas" used by many people at home now. In rural areas, some "hard materials" such as firewood are generally used to cook vegetables, and large iron pots are made of pig iron. Because firewood burns in the earthen stove, the firepower will be particularly fierce and the firewood will be full of heat. Cooked meat and vegetables are delicious, while pork and chicken are sweet, as if they still smell of wood! But now many rural areas have rarely used "earth stoves" and replaced them with gas stoves. In fact, when we get used to the same cooking methods in hotels in big cities, we may really have a special liking for the dishes made by farmers in their simple and unique cooking methods. Just like many delicious foods recorded by China on the tip of the tongue a few years ago, it is the simplest and most direct cooking material in rural areas.
Third, in the rural atmosphere, people will subjectively "add points" to their tastes. In the countryside, most people eat at home, and most of them are neighbors or relatives. Unlike dinners in big cities, they are all entertainment for various purposes, and they are also under great psychological pressure, so their attention is naturally not on food. In rural areas, people who get together to eat often don't feel at home at all, unlike city people who don't know each other when they get together to eat, so it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed to eat. And everyone eats in a familiar place, either in front of the ancestral hall or in the open air in Little Square. In their familiar Renye Fang, they are more open and can enjoy the happiness brought by rural life. Naturally, they will think that the food on the table is delicious and has a certain psychological effect.
Fourth, the "farmhouse music" around the city on weekends is based on this "feeling" mentality, thinking that the local dishes in rural areas are delicious and there is a rural feeling inside. For example, elders from rural areas can always keenly find idle land in the city that can be used to grow vegetables. For example, they bought a house with a yard on the first floor, and other people's yards are all small bridges and flowing water. Your family laid some big bricks and began to grow vegetables. If you cook by yourself, you will have the following pride: "Look how delicious you cook", "It's definitely better than take-away food", "I don't know what medicine to eat outside" and "it just tastes different". Seeing a simple fruit and vegetable stall set by a dark old farmer on the roadside, I really feel better than the neatly packed vegetables in the supermarket. I had to pick up the treasure and happily bought a few pounds to go home. Go back to the village for the New Year and bring relatives to grow all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
Generally speaking, people who think farm dishes are delicious are used to eating things that are not delicious or have lost their original taste. In fact, the ingredients of farm dishes are marked with organic cultivation in many places, but through long-term transportation, the nutrients of the ingredients themselves are lost. If the fish on the beach are caught and eaten now, they will be delicious without any seasoning, but after a few days of oxygen and medicine transportation, the nutrients of their "fish" will be lost. So many people like to go to the seaside to eat seafood, and go to the mountains to eat delicacies and so on. It's all for the first taste. This "delicious" is delicious that no cooking technology can make up for!
Hello, because in rural areas, the ingredients are all produced and sold, pure green food, and the local materials are very fresh. Just add some salt when frying vegetables. It's delicious!
I think it has something to do with the stoves, cauldrons, firewood and delicious food in the countryside.
How to treat the delicious food cooked without monosodium glutamate in rural areas? Seeing this problem, I feel very cordial, which is what I have been trying to say for so many years. Why are the dishes cooked in my hometown more delicious than those in the city?
Every time I go back to my hometown, eating is a kind of enjoyment, full of happiness, just like fried eggs with chopped green onion When cooking this dish in my hometown, you can smell the smell of eggs when you stand far away, which immediately makes people appetite! Fried eggs with chopped green onion in the city have no flavor in your mouth.
Why is there such a big difference in taste between rural food and urban food? I sum up the advantages of delicious food in the countryside as follows:
1. Different food materials.
Most families in rural areas are autotrophic original animals and plants. Take vegetables as an example, they all reach their original growth cycle in the process of growth, which is pure natural, and they naturally absorb sunlight and water. Most vegetables are seasonal vegetables, growing in the season they should adapt to, and picking is only completed at the mature stage. Now choose to eat and keep the vegetables fresh and juicy. It's strange that they are not delicious!
So do animals. They eat and exercise in different places. Following the natural growth law, their meat quality will be particularly fresh and tender. It tastes different. We usually call them: native chicken, native pig and native duck. ...
2. Cooking stoves are different:
Cooking stoves in rural areas are mostly brick, and pots are large iron pots. The space of the stove is large and deep. When the firewood burns, it can fill the whole bottom of the pot, so that the pot can be heated evenly quickly. The dish is half-cooked when it is put into the pot, so it doesn't need too much stir-frying, which keeps the original flavor of the dish, and the aroma still exists, so it is naturally delicious without seasoning.
Do you think so?
First of all, the ingredients are fresh. If you plant it yourself and do it now, it will definitely be better. Followed by the heat, the dishes fried in the pot are really incomparable to the induction cooker; There is also the chef's cooking skills. A mother who cooks is better than a good cook in the world.
