Sometimes, when making steamed stuffed buns or jiaozi at home, I always see my family add some pepper water to it. In fact, the taste of pepper is not good at all, and it may even make people suffocate. So what is the function of adding pepper water?
One of the most important purposes of doing this is to remove the fishy smell. Meat stuffing will not taste very good if it is made directly, but it will always smell fishy. The rich aromatic lipids in pepper can well remove the fishy smell from meat and make it more delicious.
In addition, it can also play a certain role in seasoning. The taste of meat stuffing is often relatively simple. We put some pepper water, which has some spicy taste, which can stimulate the taste buds and make the meat stuffing taste better and richer.
