There are a lot of people who like food, but not many who can do it well. As a foodie, I have been learning to cook on the road, but cooking skills are very unstable, sometimes out of a delicious meal, did not play well when it will also engage in some dark cuisine.
We cook at home, it is impossible to do the same color and flavor as the hotel, but eat healthy. Many dishes can be made at home without too many ingredients and with a few tips, they can be very tasty. Here are twelve cooking tips that I know and have personally tried to be useful.
One, many people like to eat lotus root, but fried lotus root is easy to turn black, to avoid lotus root fried black, you can add a small amount of water while frying, so that the fried lotus root color is better, but also more crisp.
Second, stir-fry vegetables must use high fire, put salt in order to avoid salt can not be completely melted, you need to add a little water, add water, do not use cold water, the use of boiling water stir-fried vegetables, bright green color, taste is also better.
Third, the eggplant because it contains iron, it is easy to oxidize and turn black after cutting. Cut eggplant should be fried immediately or soaked in water after cutting. When frying eggplant, putting a little vinegar can be a good way to avoid the eggplant from turning black.
Fourth, stir-fry bean sprouts must be used with high heat, quickly stir-fry so that each bean sprout is heated evenly. Put a little vinegar when frying to remove the astringent taste of bean sprouts and keep them fresh and crisp.
Five, the market bought back tofu, before frying, put it into boiling water and soak it for fifteen minutes, it can be very good to remove the bean smell and alkali taste inside the tofu, soaked tofu will be more delicious.
Six, when stewing fish soup, you need to use cold water, water boiling and skim off the froth, can better remove the fishy smell. As the fish protein slowly solidifies, the nutrients can be better released into the fish soup. Use high heat for thick soup and low heat for clear soup.
Seven, when steaming the fish, you need to wait for the water in the steamer to boil before putting the fish into the steamer. This can make the fish suddenly encounter high temperature contraction, the internal fresh juice will not flow outward, the taste of the fish will be more delicious after steaming. Steaming sweet potatoes is also water boiling before putting sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes steamed out will be sweeter.
Eight, scrambled eggs, eggs beaten into a bowl, an egg to add a spoon of warm water, so that the beaten eggs, scrambled will not be old, and scrambled eggs more portions, and fluffy and delicious.
Nine, simmering bone broth and a variety of long boiling soup, do not add cold water in the middle, to avoid the water temperature drops lead to fat and protein solidification affect the nutrition. If the water is put less, add the right amount of boiling water.
Ten, before stir-frying sliced beef, after the beef is cut, use beer to mix the flour into a paste, then put the beef together and mix well, so that the beef sticks to the batter, then marinate for about 30 minutes. The enzymes in beer can make the proteins break down, which will increase the tenderness of the beef.
Eleven, before frying shrimp, peeled shrimp into a bowl with a little salt and cooking soda, grasp evenly with your hands, and then add some water to soak for ten minutes, followed by cleaning. This stir-fried shrimp transparent as water, tasty and tender.
