Bacon is a special product in Enshi, and the dishes made from it are really fragrant. It looks ruddy and tender, and tastes even more fragrant. No wonder there are bacon specialty stores and bacon restaurants in major cities all over the country.
In fact, bacon has a long history, and the tuition fees collected by Confucius are just "repairing". The emergence of bacon is also the scientific creation and invention of our ancestors. In order to store the excess meat for a long time without being eaten and rotted by insects, people bake it with smoked fire to remove water; Carbon dioxide adheres to the surface to form an efficient protective layer, which has the function of sterilization and insecticidal. Moreover, the color and smell of smoked meat are much stronger than that of cured meat. The most important thing is that the carbon contained in smoked bacon has wonderful medicinal value, which can inhibit and kill Escherichia coli, and bacon can also promote fluid production and nourish the stomach, warm and strengthen the body. Eat it all the year round, and you will never have bloating and diarrhea. It is also a green bodybuilding food. The residual effects of pesticides, fertilizers and hormones in smoked and stored meat have disappeared, and almost no one is "fat" because of eating bacon.
Of course, we are very particular about the smoking of Enshi bacon.
first, pay attention to the timing. The best time is within the winter solstice-beginning of spring. At this time, the weather is cold, and the bacteria in natural frozen storage are few and extinct, so it is not easy to rot.
second, the production process is exquisite. First, the best meat is seared, fried, burned and seared with a soldering iron, so that the pigskin is browned, except for the unfinished hair roots, and the incision is disinfected for the first time. Then apply salt, pile up the meat and pickle it. Five to seven days, you can get on the kang.
third, smoking is the most exquisite. Firewood that can't be used: 1. Coal can't be used. Soot makes the meat sour and bad, and it tastes strange. 2. Pinus massoniana (fir tree) including pine needles can't be used. Pine smoke oil makes the bacon difficult to wash, and its meat taste is < P > astringent; 3, no tung tree, Muzi tree, Tung tree is spicy, Muzi fades oil. 4, avoid all toxic and odorous firewood such as plastic. The best ones are: cedar branches and leaves, orange peel, pepper, pepper stalk, sweet potato vine and so on. The fire should not be too fierce and uninterrupted. In this way, the color, fragrance and taste become top grade, achieving the effect of warming and bodybuilding.
fourth, storage. Smoked bacon should be hung in a cool and ventilated place, not exposed to the sun. If stored, it can be laminated with chaff to prevent carnivorous insects.
