Three no releases
A. No pepper
As the saying goes, "no pepper for pork, no material for sheep", which actually means no pepper for pork stew, and no spices for lamb stew, but here it is mainly for the boiling and stewing type of cooking, intended to retain the original freshness of the meat. After all, the fragrance of pepper is too strong, it is easy to cover the aroma of the pork itself, and put pepper will make the taste of meat hard.
Second, do not put acid material
Many people say that when stewing meat put some white vinegar, lemon, hawthorn some of the acid, can make the meat faster stew rotten, stew soft, there is no problem in principle, but this method is only suitable for use in braised, sweet and sour, brined, stewing does not apply.
