How is the hot pot or tender hot pot in maocai or tender beef in maocai preserved? How is it pickled?
If I can't cook a pot of braised pork well, I sometimes need to find some new recipes and practices, or ask my friends or look up some books. Sometimes, when searching online, I often look up some old periodicals on HowNet. Generally, they are searched on websites, and many of them are not very useful. However, when I was lucky, I wandered around that day and saw a food video of Haidilao, which was very miscellaneous. There is a video about corned beef, which is used in hot pot and demonstrated by the chef himself. Not many people watch this video, but I feel I have found a treasure. I tried it myself, and it really worked. For lean meat with less gluten, Haidilao recommends cucumber strips (part of beef), which are easy to cut. There is a beef seller near my home. I bought the brain meat that day because it was fresh. I used 250 grams of beef and sliced it. Fresh meat doesn't need beef rolls, and it doesn't need to be cut too thin, about 3 mm, first add water, yes, add water, 100 g water. Don't worry, the water will enter the beef later. The more water there is in beef, the softer it will taste. But the premise is that the meat should be fresh, and stale beef can't absorb water. The formula of Haidilao is just adding water. Personally, I like to add 15 ml soy sauce in this step, and even add oyster sauce to add some sauce. After adding water, add 2 grams of salt and 2 grams of edible alkali at the same time, each with a spoonful. Forget the salt. The function of edible alkali is to make beef tissue tender and easy to cook. You can also use tender meat powder to achieve the same goal. Be careful not to put too much, or the beef will fall apart. Then, start stirring. After stirring for about two minutes, the water completely enters the beef. Do you think that the beef that has been sucked with water has become much more moist? Then add10g chilli powder and 3g sesame seeds for seasoning. Then add 10g Chili oil and 25g common edible oil. Come on, it's important. We know that pure lean meat is easy to firewood, and oil can make meat moist and tender. In addition, these oils can lock the moisture in beef, so it is not cost-effective to spit out the sucked water. Stir well and the beef will be marinated. Does it look particularly slick now? Salted beef is actually quite tasty, and it can be kept in the refrigerator for one day. Beef with sauerkraut can be eaten directly in hot pot, or made into mala Tang, fried beef slices or even boiled beef. I am alone, so I don't specialize in making hot pot. I wear a string and make a cold pot string.
