Many people will feel very surprised when they hear that five-fingered peaches are stewed with pig bones. How can peaches be stewed with pig bones? This is not the case. Pork bone soup with five fingers and peaches is a traditional food in Guangdong, China. The reason why this food has been eaten locally for a long time is closely related to the climate there. As we all know, the humidity in Guangdong is very heavy, and boiling soup is a good way to get rid of the humidity, so this delicious soup has long been popular. The five-finger peach mentioned here is not a fruit peach in the traditional sense. It belongs to a deeply mulberry plant. The reason why it is called five-finger peach is that the leaves of this plant look like human fingers, and the second is that the fruits that grow on trees are similar to peach when they mature, so everyone calls this plant five-finger peach. Of course, there are other names besides five-fingered peaches, such as five-fingered peaches.
This traditional Cantonese cuisine is actually not difficult to cook, and it is not much different from the general soup making method. First of all, we wash the prepared ingredients for later use. First, we soak the five-finger peaches in clear water for a while. During the soaking process, we can boil the water. After the water boils, we put the pig bones and chicken legs in the pot for blanching. It takes about one or two minutes. Then put the blanched ingredients into the casserole, and it is best to have a casserole dedicated to soup, so that the soup will taste more authentic. Then put the soaked five-finger peaches into the casserole, and don't forget to put a little medlar and candied dates. If you like, you can also add some ginger slices. Personally, you can't do without ginger in the broth. After everything is finished, you can add clear water. After all the ingredients are gone, fire to boil the water, and then turn to low heat for slow stew. Slow stew is the most critical step in soup making.
The simmering process takes about 90 minutes. When the time comes, the lid can be lifted. If you like to eat the most original flavor, don't add anything, just serve it directly. Even if nothing is added, it won't weaken the fresh and attractive taste of this five-fingered peach pig bone. But you can also add a little salt appropriately, so it will taste more. Drinking Wuzhimaotao pig bone soup often can not only remove moisture, but also reduce fire and stimulate appetite. If you don't want to eat because of the hot weather, it is also a good choice to cook such a small pot of fresh soup.
