First, how to season is enough?

First, you have to pay attention to the order of seasoning.

The correct ones should be: sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and monosodium glutamate. Because the molecule of sugar is bigger than salt, it will not penetrate if it is added in order of molecular size. Finally, it will not lose its taste if it is added with soy sauce and monosodium glutamate.

Second, seasoning tips.

1. When stewing food, add seasonings only after the hard food becomes soft.

2. When stir-frying food, you should quickly season it. Sugar and salt can be sprinkled on the materials, while soy sauce and wine should be poured from the side of the pot.

3. Seasoning must be mixed with liquid (broth, water) to make the material evenly seasoned.  

In order to prevent the fishy smell or the sweetness of fish from dissolving out, the seasoning liquid must be boiled before adding.

Usually beef and pork are seasoned with soy sauce, wine and ginger juice.

6. Chicken or shrimp, squid, etc. with light taste are seasoned with salt, wine and ginger juice.

7. After seasoning, wrap egg white or tender meat powder to prevent the meat from hardening, or add a small amount of oil, so that the meat slices will not stick together when stir-frying.

8. Add seasoning liquid before eating vinegar-stained food or soaked food. If you add seasoning liquid too early, it will make the food out of water.

Second, how can fried foods have a dry and crisp taste?

Is it difficult to fry food? The best state of fried food is the dry and crisp taste when it is just finished, but this taste needs to be mastered in frying!

1. Dosage: the amount of frying at one time is about half of the surface area of oil. If the amount is too much, the temperature of oil will be lowered and the frying time will be prolonged, but the dry and crisp finished product will not be fried.   

2. Temperature: fry fish and chicken with bones with oil at low temperature (160℃) first, then scoop it up with a colander, heat the oil (180℃) and fry it again to make it colorful and remove excess water, so that the food can become dry and crisp.

Treatment method of reused oil

Do you think it's a pity to throw away the fried oil once? As long as it is handled properly, frying oil can still be reused;

1. Residue will worsen the oil. Remember to drain the residue with filter paper when the oil is hot, and cold oil will produce viscosity.

2. Let the oil fully cool, seal it and store it in the shade.

3. The correct frying order can make the oil last longer: first fry shrimp → fry western-style fried things → fry fish, fried chicken pieces, etc. Because the fried food wrapped in flour will scatter flour in the oil and pollute the oil, it is best to fry it at the end.

Third, how can beef become delicious after it has been put for a long time?

Here are five ways to help you make dry and hard beef delicious:

1. Soak beef in vinegar or wine, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it, which can make beef soft.

2. Cover the beef with pineapple or kiwi slices and wrap it with plastic wrap 1 hour, and the beef will become soft.

3. Beat the beef with a kitchen knife before cooking to destroy the fiber tissue, which can reduce the toughness.

4. Apply salad oil and water to beef, and then wrap it with plastic wrap for refrigeration.

5. The beef can be softened by dipping a little baking soda before cooking.

Fourth, the taste of bread is getting worse?

Bread will soon become hard and unpalatable after being bought for a long time. At this time, you can:

1. Put it in a fresh-keeping bag, drop a little drinking water, and heat it in a microwave oven or oven, and the bread will be as hot and soft as it was just baked.

2. If it's toast, you can dip eggs in the pan and fry them, or add some favorite sauces and bake them in the oven, and there will be a new way to eat them.

3. You can also cut the hard bread into dices and eat it in hot soup or porridge.

Reuse of leftover bread

Eating the leftover bread becomes hard and difficult to eat, so let it be reused.

Bread crumbs-put the leftover bread in the refrigerator, and when the ice is hard enough, take it out and grind it with a metal mill to make bread powder, which can be wrapped around fried food.

Refrigerator odor absorber-leftover bread can be used as refrigerator odor absorber. Choose hard bread, bake it until it is black, then wrap it in gauze and put it in the refrigerator to remove the odor in the refrigerator.

5. How to cook delicious rice?

The rice often cooked is either too hard or too soft. What should I do? As long as you master the tricks of cooking, you can cook delicious rice!

1. The special measuring cup correctly measures the required amount of rice. When washing rice, a large amount of water is added for the first time. After stirring quickly, the water is immediately poured out, and the rice is washed by pressing with the palm of your hand, and then washed repeatedly with water until it is clear.

2. Put the washed rice into the inner pot and add the correct amount of water, and let it stand for about half an hour to let the rice absorb water before cooking.

After cooking, keep the temperature for about10 ~15 minutes, then open the lid and stir the cooked rice evenly with a rice spoon, which is delicious white rice.

If you can't cook the cooked rice with confidence, adding a drop or two of wine can turn the half-cooked rice into delicious white rice!

4. Add a little salt and salad oil to the washed rice to make the cooked rice shiny.

6. What should I do if the green vegetables are boiled and piled up?

Blue vegetables, cucumbers, peas, edamame, etc., are easy to turn yellow soon after being cooked. In fact, you can:

1. Add a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water first, then put the vegetables in the pot, and take them out after boiling hot water, so that the cooked vegetables can always be fresh and green!

As soon as the vegetables are cooked, they should be soaked in ice water immediately, which can make the vegetables more green and refreshing.

How to keep the nutrition of vegetables from losing when cooking.

1. Try not to cook the food too badly, just cook it until it is soft.

2. Use fire or quick cooking to reduce the loss of nutrients.

Don't cut the vegetables too finely.

It is best to cover the cooking with a pot cover to shorten the cooking time. In addition, water should be used as little as possible to preserve the nutrition of vegetables.

7. Why is microwave heating unfamiliar?

After heating the food in the microwave oven, do you find that the food is sometimes raw and sometimes cooked? That's because food contains different ingredients:

1. Salty foods, such as ham, sausage, curry, meat, fish, etc., transfer heat from the outside to the inside when heated in a microwave oven, so even if the outer layer is cooked, the inside is still raw.

2. Foods with more sugar and starchy foods, such as sweet potatoes, bread, rice cakes, cakes and jam, will be heated from the inside to the outside when heated, so if you cut the half-baked sweet potatoes, you will find that the middle is soft and the outer layer is still hard.

Eight, what should I do if the beans are not cooked?

Do beans taste as hard as a stone even if they have been cooked for a long time? Follow the steps below to make sure that the beans are soft!

1 Soak the beans for one night first.

2. Cook for1~ 2 hours, and cook slowly with slow fire until soft.

3. The key point is to continuously add water during the cooking process, so that the water can cover the beans 1 cm.

4. After the beans are fully softened, add sugar 2-3 times. Do not add more sugar at a time, which will increase the saturation pressure and dehydrate and harden the beans.
