Tips for marinating pig's head meat
1. The pig's head meat should be cleaned, especially in some places where the hair is not easy to clean, and it can be singed with fire;
2. When making, if time permits, you can choose to eat casserole and stew it slowly, which will make it more delicious;
3. For eating in summer, you can let it cool, make a cold salad, and prepare some dipping juice.
the first is the pretreatment of pig's head meat. The commonly used blanching water has limited effect on some raw materials with strong fishy smell. Therefore, rinsing with running water with cold water means soaking in cold water, and then turning on the tap to control the small water flow, so that the cold water can continue to overflow and take away the odor when the pig's head meat is cold soaked, so that the blanching effect will be much better after one to two hours.
The second point is the matching of spices. For pig's head meat with a strong fishy smell, the dosage of Amomum tsaoko and cinnamon can be increased, and some angelica dahurica and cardamom can be properly matched, which can get a better effect of removing foreign substances during marinating. The dosage of Amomum tsaoko can be promoted to the position of minister at most, while the dosage of Angelica dahurica and cardamom is best controlled in the position of seasoning. If the selected pig's head is thick in sebum, the dosage of ginger can be appropriately increased and enhanced.
For any fleshy food, their own fishy smell comes from their own oil and water, and rinsing is the effect of replacing water and reducing oil, while Tsao Tsao-ko and Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, spices, are also aimed at the fishy smell of oil itself. Generally, the fishy smell can be well controlled through these two steps.
