As a native Cantonese, I like soup very much. I cook soup 2-3 times a week. Not all soup can be called soup. For example, the soup cooked in 10 minutes is not soup, but it is called boiling soup in Guangdong. Boil soup in a soup pot for a while. When I was a child, my parents cooked soup with old fire, and put the casserole in the coal stove and boiled it for more than 3 hours. Later, I heard that it is not good to drink old fire soup. My parents cook soup 1-2 hours, and I cook soup for about 90 minutes.
In Guangdong, casserole is used to make soup, saying that the soup made in this way is fragrant and delicious. I am influenced by the older generation, and I also like to use casserole. After boiling, I use medium heat to make soup. Sometimes I am busy with work and have no time. I prepare ingredients in advance. I will use an electric cooker and make soup by appointment. Sometimes I just want to drink soup after work that day. I will use a pressure cooker to cook a pot of soup in about 30 minutes.
Drinking more soup in summer can replenish water and nutrition, especially in hot weather these days. Drink some soup to nourish your body and mind. This time, I will share a Guangdong soup-Wuzhimao Chicken Soup. What is a five-finger peach? Five-fingered peach is not a peach, nor a peach. Five-fingered peach is a kind of plant. Its leaves are like people's five fingers, with fine fluff and fruit like a peach. Therefore, this plant is named five-fingered peach, which is more common in Meizhou, Guangdong. Guangdong people use the roots of five-fingered peach to make soup, and the soup has a unique fragrance, which is like the fragrance of coconut.
In Guangdong, the five-fingered peach is often paired with chicken and pig bones to make soup, which means that the five-fingered peach chicken soup is a classic match. In addition to the two ingredients of five-fingered peach and chicken, the five-fingered peach chicken soup will also be accompanied by other ingredients throughout the year. Five-fingered peach can relieve summer-heat, strengthen the spleen, replenish the lung, clear the liver and reduce fire, and women can also have beauty beauty if they drink chicken soup with five-fingered peach.
Materials: chicken 1 piece (750g), peach with five fingers 50g, dried cuttlefish 50g and carrot 1 piece.
2 slices of ginger and 3 grams of salt.
method of work
1 This is the ingredient used to cook chicken soup, including five-fingered peach, solid fruit, dried cuttlefish and carrot. We have introduced the five-fingered peach before. Let's talk about solid fruit, which is rich in starch, vitamins and carbon, and can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. Carrots are rich in nutrients and are called small ginseng. Carrots can also increase the sweetness of the soup, which means that the boiled soup tastes better.
2 Cut the chicken into small pieces. The chicken used here is not very big. If there are more people in the family, you can increase the weight of the chicken pieces.
3 Soak the five-finger peaches for 30 minutes, clean the other ingredients and put them in a pressure cooker. You can use a casserole, an electric cooker or a rice cooker to make soup.
4 Add 2 liters of water, cover and cook.
After the soup is cooked, put some salt to taste. I used a pressure cooker and it took me half an hour to cook it. If you use a casserole to boil, turn to a medium and small fire for 90 minutes, and the taste will be fine.
Tips
1 Don't put too many five-finger peaches. I used to put a lot of five-finger peaches in the five-finger peach soup. If I put too many five-finger peaches, the soup will taste a little astringent. Good things should be put in the right amount.
2 Chicken soup will be a little oily. One way is to peel the chicken skin and then cook the soup to reduce the oil. Another way is to cook the soup and then suck the oil in the soup.
