Chef teaches you how to cook soup in Xiaoxue solar terms.
First of all, the selection of materials for soup is the key to making fresh soup. The raw materials used to make soup are generally animal raw materials, such as chicken, duck, lean pork, pork elbow, pork bone, ham, salted duck, fish, etc., but they must be full of flavor, with little odor and less blood stains. This kind of food is rich in protein, succinic acid, amino acids, nucleotides, etc. The water-soluble nitrogen-containing extracts from poultry meat, including non-protein nitrogen-containing substances such as creatinine, protein, creatine, creatinine, urea and amino acids, are the main sources of soup flavor.
Secondly, the food in soup should be fresh, and freshness is not the "freshness" that has always been emphasized. Fresh in modern times refers to 3-5 hours after fish and livestock are killed. At this time, various enzymes in fish or poultry meat decompose protein and fat into amino acids, fatty acids and other substances easily absorbed by the human body. At this time, it is not only the most nutritious, but also the best in taste.
Thirdly, the cooking utensils for soup should be selected, and the best effect of making fresh soup is to simmer in an old crock. A crock is clay made of Shi Ying, feldspar, clay and other raw materials that are difficult to transfer heat, and it is fired at high temperature. It has good ventilation and adsorption, and also has the characteristics of uniform heat transfer and slow heat dissipation. When simmering fresh soup, the crock can transfer the external heat energy to the internal raw materials in a balanced and lasting way. The relatively balanced ambient temperature is conducive to the mutual penetration of water molecules and food. The longer this mutual penetration lasts, the more fresh and fragrant ingredients overflow, the more fresh and mellow the soup tastes, and the more crisp the texture of the stewed food is.
