Production Summary
Huajiang dog meat is a snack famous throughout the country. Its cooking method is very unique, and the raw materials, processing procedures, and ingredients are also very particular. According to the Li nationality master chef of the "Guizhou Huajiang Dog Meat Restaurant", when making Huajiang dog meat, adult male dogs weighing about 30 kilograms should be selected as raw materials to ensure that the meat is evenly fat and lean, tender but not old. Then the dog is slaughtered like a pig, all the blood is released, the skin is not skinned, and the hair is scalded with boiling water. Dog skin is fragrant, thin, chewy, and can be used for beauty purposes, so dog skin is never removed. When making dog meat in other places, live dogs are usually beaten to death, hanged or even poisoned, and then the skin is peeled off. The dog's blood is all stagnant in the meat, making the cooked meat unpalatable. At the same time, the skin of dogs that have been poisoned, died of illness, or have been dead for a long time cannot be peeled off, and the hair cannot be removed cleanly. Therefore, the presence of skin but no hair on Huajiang dog meat is also a sign of their reliable quality. After completely removing the dog hair, dog bones, and dog internal organs, you can put the meat into a special casserole and add peppercorns, ginger, tangerine peel, star anise, kaempferol, amomum villosum, mint, etc. shipped from Guizhou. The ingredients, and some herbs used to remove the earthy smell of the dog, were simmered slowly over a slow fire. Use low heat when stewing to prevent the soup from thickening. Add enough water at one time, do not add water in between, keep the original soup, and let the aroma of the meat stew out. Generally, the dog meat is stewed until it is eighty or nine times cooked.
