Notes
This dish needs to be simmered slowly over medium heat, do not use high heat, otherwise the meat will not be crispy and will become old easily. There are two points for reference when making soup:
1. If you want to make the soup white, just leave a little oil (do not skim the oil) and turn the heat down. This is the worst approach. After all, it’s not crucian carp soup.
2. The best method is like making soup stock. It is about to boil and then slightly open over low heat. It's crystal clear after you're done. At first glance, the yellow bamboo shoots and the red meat form a strong contrast, but when you taste it, it is completely different from the bland soup you imagined. All the umami flavors are present in the soup.
There are three key points here:
a. Do not cover the pot. If you see a large soup bucket with a lid on it in a restaurant kitchen, it is definitely not soup stock. The top quality of soup is "freshness".
b. There should be more water than the ingredients to submerge the meat and bamboo shoots and there should be a lot more. Otherwise, even if it is slightly opened, the soup will become cloudy. On the other hand, covering the ingredients with water can also help keep the temperature uniform and prevent the ingredients above from drying out due to high temperatures.
c. Even if the oil is removed, the fresh bacon must be drained of water (over high heat) before being put into the pot to remove blood foam and impurities and wash it thoroughly. The second time you put it in the pot, you should put it in after the water has boiled. After the soup is slightly boiled, turn down the heat and skim off the oil foam after about half an hour. Since the lid is opened, the oil will condense into a paper shape due to dryness. Just skim off all the tiny impurities. This method can not only retain the deliciousness of the soup, but also keep the soup beautiful, and will not make the dish greasy like home-cooked methods. Where is pickled food?
