Friends who like spices must have heard the name citronella. Because it has a unique flavor similar to lemon aroma, it is widely used in brine dishes. Some friends will think that the usage of citronella is very simple. In my opinion, this is a misunderstanding. In fact, the usage of citronella is also wonderful. I want to share it with you today.
Citronella can be divided into dry and wet. Some friends will think that the difference between wet and dry is actually very big. Dry citronella is rich in fragrance but not fresh, while wet citronella is much fresher than dry citronella, which has a unique sense of freshness of vegetation. In application, taking brine as an example, dried citronella is more suitable for the formula with rich spices, generally speaking, it is mainly aimed at spicy and oily brine in Sichuan, and fresh citronella is more suitable for relatively refreshing brine, such as brine in Chaoshan and Guangdong. Of course, some friends like to mix the two kinds of citronella, and use fresh citronella and dried citronella at a ratio of 2: 1, which not only keeps the fragrance strong, but also increases the freshness.
In practical application, citronella can not only be used as a spice in brine, but also has other wonderful uses. For example, fresh citronella and salad oil are heated with low fire at the ratio of 1:5 until citronella discolors, and citronella is made into sesame oil. When cooking beef, pork or fragrant seafood, such sesame oil can not only be fragrant, but also fragrant.
The wonderful use of citronella is not limited to this. Everyone knows that curing meat before cooking is an important part of many flavor dishes, and citronella also has a good performance in this respect. For example, citronella is used to make gravy in many Yunnan and Southeast Asian dishes. For example, the delicious citronella ribs are made of 20g citronella, 20g pepper,14g garlic,10g onion Jiang Shui, 3g liquor and 2g salt.
Not only that, citronella can also be made into dipping sauce. With the tender heart of fresh citronella, pepper, garlic and fish sauce, a unique dipping sauce is finished. It's really a unique taste with seafood and pig goods.
