Every year in autumn and winter, white radish will become the first choice for people to stew soup. As the folk proverb says, "Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer will make you healthier." Although radishes can be eaten all year round, white radishes in autumn and winter are the sweetest and juiciest, which can be used to make dumplings, radish balls, chicken radish, stew and stir-fry and so on. Now is the time to eat white radishes, so what are the skills of white radish stew?
white radish stew can be cooked by everyone, but some people stew white radish that is yellow and opaque, while others stew it with an odor. This odor is unique to white radish, and people who don't like it are also called "odor". Although white radish stew is simple, it still needs to master some skills to make the soup fresh radish sweet and translucent. White radish stew, don't go directly to the pot, add 1 step and 1 material, the radish is sweet and transparent without odor. Add one more step to the white radish stew
Many people just throw the white radish stew in the soup, which is actually wrong, because when the white radish tissue is broken or cooked, the substance containing myrosinase will be released, which will act on glucosinolates and form odor substances such as isothiocyanates. At the same time, the white radish also contains mustard oil, which is very spicy, so the white radish can't be stewed directly, so adding one more step is to blanch.
Hotel chefs who know how to cook radishes always take the step of blanching before stewing them, so the radishes made by the hotel are sweet and transparent, beautiful and delicious. Blanching can effectively remove the peculiar smell and spicy taste of white radishes, and the stewed radishes are crystal clear and beautiful in color, so blanching is necessary. Add one more ingredient
When stewing soup at home, the fresh white radish obviously has a bitter taste, which is caused by excessive nitrogen fertilizer and insufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizer during the growth of white radish. If there are more alkaloids in white radish, white radish will also be bitter. We don't know whether it will be bitter before eating white radish, but we can't help it when eating it, so we should add one more ingredient when stewing white radish, which is rock sugar.
Many people will ask, adding rock sugar soup is not sweet, so rock sugar can't be put in disorder, only less and not more, and a little less soup won't be sweet. White radish absorbs a small amount of sugar from rock sugar, which makes people feel that this is the sweetness of white radish itself. If you put more, it will only be counterproductive. Therefore, you should master the amount of rock sugar, and generally put 2 ~ 3 pieces in a pot of soup at home.
The above is the skill of stewing white radish. No matter what soup is stewed with white radish, you can use one ingredient in this step. The stewed white radish is fresh, sweet and transparent, and has no peculiar smell. Let's stew a bowl of soup with ribs and white radish.
