First, let's talk about "3 don't let go".
Do not put soy sauce: Many people are Xi adding soy sauce to the meat filling to enhance the taste, but leeks themselves have a unique spicy aroma, and adding soy sauce will mask this aroma and make the filling taste messy.
Do not put thirteen spices and other compound spices: Also in order to maintain the original aroma of leeks, the multiple flavors in the compound spices will conflict with the flavor of leeks and affect the texture.
Do not put cooking wine: Cooking wine is mainly used to remove the smell, but in the stuffing of diced leek meat, the spicy flavor of the leeks is enough to mask the smell of the meat, so there is no need to do anything else.
Second, let's talk about the "3 details".
The selection of materials should be exquisite: Leeks should be fresh and tender, and diced pork should be best selected with moderate fat and lean pork belly, so that it has a taste and is not too greasy.
There is a doorway to cut: The finer the leek, the better, so that it is easier to absorb the flavor;Don't cut the diced meat too small, keep it grainy, and eat it more chewy.
Season just right: In addition to the basic salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings, you can also add some sesame oil or peanut oil in moderation, which can not only increase the fragrance but also lock in moisture, making the filling more tender and juicy.
