Shark's fin is made by drying shark's fin. Now our life is getting better and better, and many families will eat some better food. Just like today's dried shark's fin, dried shark's fin is gradually being integrated into the families of ordinary people. Let's take a look at how the shark fin is soaked and the correct way to soak it: Special tips

How to soak the shark fin and the correct way to soak it

1. Put the dried shark fin in a clean container and add warm water to it.

2, when soaking, be sure to change the warm water frequently, at least three times, so as to avoid the deterioration of shark fins caused by water odor.

3. Before stewing, you must clamp the shark fin with two pieces of bamboo basketry. To do this, one is to avoid the shark's fin from being smashed, and the other is to avoid the shark's fin from being deformed and rotted.

4. Pay attention to the time when cooking. The author's experience is that the old hard shark fin is usually stewed for 5-6 hours, and the soft shark fin is usually stewed for 4-5 hours. The time for stewing shark's fin should not be too long. If it is too long, the surface of shark's fin will easily get into the sand due to cracking. Of course, the simmering time should not be too short, otherwise the black outer film and sand grains will not be removed

5. When simmering, the method of simmering in a small fire should be adopted instead of boiling. If the fire is strong and the water is boiling, it is possible to boil the surface of the shark fin, and the surface of the shark fin will become rotten, and sand will be mixed into the meat of the shark fin, so it is not easy to scrape the skin and remove the sand. In addition, shark fins should be separated according to their size and tender degree before making, so that they can be made separately, otherwise, the small and tender shark fins are rotten, but the old and firm ones have not been thoroughly made.

6. You can't use iron pots and copper pots when stewing shark fins. Because shark fin contains sulfur protein, it will react with iron and copper to produce iron sulfide, which will cause black and * * spots on the surface of shark fin and affect the quality of finished products. When making shark's fin, it is suggested that porcelain jar, stainless steel and other utensils should be used for stewing.

7. When the shark's fin is simmered in the pot, or after the shark's fin is cooked, it should not be contaminated with oil, alkali, salt and other substances, otherwise it will cause the shark's fin epidermis to melt and affect the quality of the dish.

8. After the shark's fin is simmered, gently pick it with a bamboo stick when removing the meat and bone residue, so as to keep the shark's fin tidy as much as possible, so as not to affect the beauty of the dish.

9. After removing bone residue and sand, shark fin should be washed repeatedly and washed continuously with clear water, one is to wash away bone residue and sand, and the other is to rinse off fishy smell.
