The seasonings used for cooking meat generally include peppercorns, fennel, chili peppers, dried ginger, angelica angelica, galangal, star anise, white cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, woody incense, tangerine peel and bay leaves.
You can prepare it by yourself. Of course, you can also buy matching small bags on the market. One small point is that after the spices are stewed, they are either granules or minced, so you need to use a special gauze bag. Pack up the spices and stew them with the meat. After the stew is done, take out the package. This will not only ensure the delicious taste, but also ensure that you can eat the meat happily.
Household spices
1. Grass fruit: It is a spice with a strong fragrance. Generally, some grass fruit will be added to beef and mutton stew, but you must know that there cannot be too much grass fruit. If you add too much, the taste will become very medicinal. Generally, one can stew about 5 kilograms of meat. Don't just add several when stewing 2 kilograms of meat. The meaty taste will be gone.
2. Star anise: I don’t need to say more about this. Generally, you need to add a few star anise to stewed meat. Because the star anise tastes sweeter, it is not feasible to add too much. However, this spice must be used at home. Be prepared.
3. Geranium leaves: Geranium leaves are not only spices but also herbs, but they are only used in cooking. It is best to fry them in oil, otherwise the fragrance will not be strong. This spice needs to be kept at home.
4. Cinnamon: When using cinnamon, you need to remember a very key skill. If your food is white, do not add cinnamon, otherwise the color will not look good, but the color will change after adding it. It turned black. This kind of spice is also one of the spices we need to prepare. It is mostly used for roasting, simmering and stewing delicacies.
5. White buckle: It has a thin shell on the surface. It is not nutmeg or cardamom, so you must recognize it when buying it. It is said above that spices will darken the ingredients. But white buckwheat is different. For example, cinnamon cannot be used in mutton stew soup, but white buckwheat and cumin can be added. You can also buy some of these to keep.
