There is no strict stewing time for crucian bean curd soup. Its stewing time is related to the size of crucian carp, the amount of ingredients and temperature. It is generally recommended to stew for about 20-30 minutes with high fire. If the stew time is too short, the crucian carp may be undercooked and have a fishy smell. Stewed for too long, the fish will get old and taste worse, which can be judged by the color of the soup. Usually stew until the soup is thick and white, then turn off the heat.
2 Crucian carp tofu soup stew for 6 hours. Crucian carp tofu soup will be ready in about 15-30 minutes. If you stew for 6 hours, the fish may have become very soft and rotten, and the taste and umami will become worse. In addition, tofu contains a lot of water-soluble vitamins. If the stewing time is too long, vitamins will be lost in large quantities, leading to the reduction of their nutritional value. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to stew crucian carp tofu soup for 6 hours.
3 How is the crucian carp soup stewed thick and white before cooking? Before stewing the crucian carp soup, fry the crucian carp in the oil pan until both sides are slightly yellow, and then stew it, so that the stewed crucian carp soup will be very thick and white, because the oil content of the fried crucian carp increases, which is conducive to the formation of milky suspended solids.
It is suggested to stew crucian carp soup with fire, because oil and water can be fully emulsified under the action of protein at high temperature, and then small fat particles are formed by cluster impact, which are wrapped by collagen in crucian carp to form milky soup.
Adding starch-rich foods In order to stew a thick and white crucian carp soup, it is suggested that some starch-rich foods can be added and cooked together, such as yam, lotus root and potato. When starch is dissolved in the soup, the color of the soup will turn milky white.
