1. Pretreatment of elbow: blanch the elbow before stewing. Blanching water can remove excess blood and dirt and make elbows cleaner. Adding a small amount of cooking wine to the boiled water can help to remove the fishy smell.
2. Choose a suitable saucepan: Using a saucepan with a thick bottom can distribute heat evenly, which is beneficial to the uniform heating of elbows.
3. Control the heat: put the saucepan on a small fire and simmer slowly. Excessive heat may cause the outer layer of the elbow to boil while the inner layer is still hard. Slowly stewing can make the meat of elbow more crisp and rotten.
4. Add seasoning: When stewing elbows, adding the right amount of seasoning can add flavor. Common seasonings are ginger, scallion, star anise, cinnamon, etc., which can be adjusted according to personal preference.
5. Uniform heating: In the process of stewing, turn the elbow from time to time to ensure that each side can receive uniform heat, so that the elbow can be stewed more evenly.
6. Adjust the taste: According to personal preference, you can adjust the amount of salt, soy sauce, rock sugar and other seasonings in the process of stewing to achieve the ideal taste.
7. Steamer for fragrance: After stewing, remove the elbow and put it in a bowl, then pour the soup into the bowl, and then put the bowl into the steamer for cooking, which can make the elbow more delicious.
These skills can help you make stewed elbows that are crispy and delicious. Remember to adjust according to your personal preference, and try and adjust constantly to get the elbow that best suits your taste.
