Every New Year, especially in rural areas, every family will pickle bacon, and now it is the end of the year. I believe many families in China are preparing to cook bacon. If you want to make bacon, you should prepare the raw materials for curing bacon in advance. Although bacon looks quite simple, it is not as simple as expected, and it is very skillful when doing technical work.
In the past, when people cooked bacon, they thought it was a very important thing. They cook bacon with special care every year, so they also sum up a lot of experiences and secrets. Today, we are here to share with you the secrets of the older generation of bacon. The three seasonings and specific methods they use to cook meat every time are all here for you today.
The most important seasoning for making bacon is edible salt, which will help the bacon to keep intact to the greatest extent, but it can't provide other flavors. Therefore, when we make bacon, we still need to use other spices to enhance the fragrance. Especially when curing bacon, when cooking bacon, you should put the bought meat directly at home, and never wash it directly with water, because washing with water will easily lead to pork deterioration. I will directly cut it into pieces of about a catty, dry it and add high-alcohol liquor.
Next, we need to stir-fry the spices. When curing bacon, you must stir-fry the spices with a small fire, so that it is easier to let the fragrance of spices come out, and the cured bacon will smell more fragrant. These three spices are star anise pepper and kaempferia kaempferia, which are indispensable spices. Among them, red pepper can not only improve the flavor of bacon, but also remove the fishy smell, so red pepper is also indispensable.
Many people choose green peppers when cooking bacon, but the taste of green peppers is too hemp and the fragrance is not as strong as that of red peppers, so the bacon made will definitely not be more delicious than that made by flowers. The function of star anise is to help bacon reflect the faint sweetness of star anise, so it also makes bacon smell particularly appetizing. The role of kaempferia kaempferia is the most special. Besides adding flavor to bacon, it also has antioxidant effect, so if we add a little kaempferia when making bacon again, we don't have to worry that bacon will go bad. The bacon we cooked can be preserved for a long time.
These three seasonings are indispensable, so we'd better prepare them in advance when making bacon. Besides spices, the most important thing is the proportion of spices in bacon. If the proportion is not set properly, the bacon we make will taste strange and look unattractive.
If you want to cook 10 kg of bacon, you should prepare 1 10g of edible salt, 30g of pepper, 20g of star anise and 15g of kaempferia. The taste of bacon made according to this ratio will never let you down. If you want to cook a lot of bacon, the proportion will increase, so you must cook bacon according to this ratio to make delicious bacon.
