As a native Cantonese, I like soup very much. I cook soup 2-3 times a week. Not all soups can be called soup. For example, soup cooked in 10 minutes is not soup, but it is called boiled soup in Guangdong. Boil the soup in the soup pot for a while. When I was a child, my parents used an old fire to cook soup and put the casserole in a coal stove for more than three hours. Later, I heard that the old fire soup was not good. My parents make soup 1-2 hours, and my own time is about 90 minutes.
Guangdong uses casserole to make soup, saying that the soup made in this way is fragrant and delicious. Influenced by the older generation, I also like to use casserole. After cooking, I cook soup over medium heat. Sometimes I am busy with work and have no time. I prepare the ingredients in advance. I will use the rice cooker and make an appointment to make soup. Sometimes I just want to have soup after work that day. I will cook a pot of soup in a pressure cooker for about 30 minutes.
Drinking more soup in summer can supplement water and nutrition, especially in the hot weather these days. Drink some soup to nourish your body and mind. This time, I will share a Guangdong soup-Wuzhimao Chicken Soup. What is a five-finger peach? Five-finger peach is not a peach, nor is it a peach. Five-finger peach is a plant. Its leaves are like people's five fingers, its fluff is fine, and its fruit is like peaches. Therefore, this plant is named Finger Peach, which is more common in Meizhou, Guangdong. Cantonese people use the roots of five-finger peaches to make soup. The soup has a unique fragrance, like the fragrance of coconuts.
In Guangdong, Wuzhitao is often served with chicken and pig bones, which shows that Wuzhitao chicken soup is a classic match. Five-finger peach chicken soup will be accompanied by other ingredients all year round except five-finger peach and chicken. Five-finger peach can relieve summer heat, strengthen spleen, replenish lung, clear liver and reduce fire, and women can drink chicken soup with five-finger peach to beauty beauty.
Ingredients: 1 chicken (750g), 50g finger peach, a little dried cuttlefish, 50g raisin and carrot 1 root.
2 slices of ginger and 3 grams of salt.
working methods
1 This is the ingredient used to cook chicken soup, which consists of five-finger peach, solid fruit, dried cuttlefish and carrot. Five-finger peach has been introduced before. Besides, solid fruit is rich in starch, vitamins and carbon, which can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. Carrots are rich in nutrients and are called small ginseng. Carrots can also increase the sweetness of soup, which means that the cooked soup tastes better.
2 Cut the chicken into small pieces. The chicken used here is not very big. If there are many people in the family, you can increase the weight of chicken pieces.
Soak the five-finger peach for 30 minutes, clean the other ingredients and put them into the pressure cooker. You can use casserole, rice cooker or rice cooker to make soup.
4 Add 2 liters of water, cover and cook.
When the soup is cooked, season it with some salt. I used a pressure cooker and cooked it for half an hour. If you cook in a casserole, turn to low heat for 90 minutes, and the taste will be good.
skill
1 Don't put too many five-finger peaches. I used to put a lot of five-finger peaches in five-finger peach soup. If I put too many five-finger peaches, the soup will be a little astringent. Good things should be put in moderation.
Chicken soup will be a little oily. One way is to skin the chicken skin, and then cook the soup to reduce the oil. Another way is to cook the soup and then suck the oil out of it.
