Preparing minced meat is a crucial part of the cooking process, whether it is steamed buns, dumplings or croquettes, it is inseparable from the presence of minced meat. However, many people think that preparing minced meat is as simple as stirring with spices. But if you hold this opinion, then it is not difficult to understand why the meat filling is not fragrant enough, and even has a fishy smell, dry and tasteless. It turns out that the preparation of minced meat requires certain skills and the selection of ingredients is also crucial, and it cannot be put at will. In order to make a meat filling that is as delicious as in restaurants and dumpling restaurants, you need to add two more seasonings in addition to the necessary salt and light soy sauce. Only in this way will the minced meat be smooth and fragrant, oily and juicy.
1.Foreleg meat is used as the material for the meat filling, because the meat of the foreleg meat is delicate. First, the foreleg meat is washed and then put into a meat grinder to form a delicate meat filling.
2.Removing the fishy smell from the minced meat is a crucial step. Most people choose to add cooking wine because it can remove the fishy smell when using cooking wine when stewing or stir-frying meat. However, when preparing minced meat, the use of cooking wine can easily lead to a more fishy smell. So what should be used?
3.It is recommended to use Sichuan pepper to make Sichuan pepper water to remove the fish. Grind the peppercorns into a powder, add an appropriate amount of water and stir well, then pour into the meat filling and stir thoroughly until the meat filling becomes delicate and firm. Sichuan pepper water is the first kind of seasoning to prepare the meat filling, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also make the meat filling more moist and juicy.
1.On the basis of deodorization, adding seasonings to the minced meat is a must. Chop the chopped green onion and ginger and add it to the minced meat, add an appropriate amount of salt, monosodium glutamate, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and oyster sauce to taste, and then stir well with chopsticks to ensure that the seasoning is even. In addition, in order to enhance the aroma and taste of the minced meat, we also need to add some fried spices.
2.Fried spices refer to spices such as Sichuan pepper, green onion and ginger, coriander root, onion, and spices. First, pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pan, add frying spices, and then slowly fry over low heat until it has a rich aroma. Next, remove the frying spices, strain the remaining hot oil and let it cool. Once the oil has cooled thoroughly, pour the spice oil into the meat filling and stir thoroughly. The unique aroma of fried spices and the oily taste of spice oil are the second additional seasoning for meat filling, which can make the meat filling more fragrant and oily.
Through the above steps and techniques, we can prepare a rich aroma, smooth and fragrant taste, oily and juicy meat filling. The selection and use of these seasonings are scientific and exquisite, and cannot be arbitrary. Sichuan pepper water can remove the fishy smell in the meat filling and add a moist and juicy taste, making the meat filling more flavorful. Spice oil can make the aroma of the meat filling more intense, the taste more oily, and enhance the freshness of the whole filling.
Personally, I think that when preparing minced meat, in addition to the above skills and experience, you can also add other seasonings according to your personal taste, such as minced garlic, cooking wine, pepper, etc. Everyone's tastes are different and can be adapted and innovated to their liking. In addition, when choosing meat ingredients, you can also try different meats, such as pork, beef, chicken, etc., to increase the taste and nutritional value of the meat filling.
Of course, hygiene and food safety are also very important in the preparation of minced meat. Before handling, ensure that ingredients and tools are clean and hygienic to avoid cross-contamination. In addition, when preserving the minced meat, it can be divided into small portions and frozen in a sealed bag for later use.
To sum up, although the process of preparing minced meat may seem simple, it involves a lot of skill and experience. Choosing the right meat raw materials and using seasonings and frying spices rationally can make the meat filling taste better and taste more beautiful. I hope the above sharing can help you make delicious minced meat at home and make everyone's food more diverse. Come on, make your own unique flavor of meat filling!
