Big bone stew is a very tasty home-cooked dish that is not only delicious but also rich in nutritional value. The key to whether the big bone broth is stewed well or not lies in the choice of bones, the simmering skills, and the combination of seasonings. Let's start with these aspects and go into detail about how to cook delicious bone broth.
First and foremost, the choice of bones is the basis for a delicious bone broth stew. We should choose fresh pork bones, preferably with some lean meat, so that the stewed soup will be more delicious. When buying, pay attention to the color and smell of the bones, fresh bones should be pale pink with some blood stains and smell no odor. If the bones are dark in color or have an off-smelling smell, they may not be fresh or have been stored for too long and are not suitable for stew.
Secondly, the stewing technique is also key. Before simmering, we need to clean the bones and remove blood and impurities from the bones. Then, blanch the bones in boiling water to remove the blood foam and fishy smell from the bones. After blanching, remove the bones and rinse them with clean water. Next, place the bones in a casserole or pressure cooker, add enough water, and add seasonings such as ginger slices, green onions, and cooking wine. If it is a casserole stew, first bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowlyIf it's a pressure cooker, cover the pot and bring to a simmer under pressure. Either way, make sure the heat is moderate and the simmer time is sufficient to allow the nutrients in the bones to be fully released into the soup.
Finally, the combination of seasoning is also very important. During the stewing process, an appropriate amount of salt, pepper, chicken essence and other seasonings can be added according to personal taste. In addition, you can also add some Chinese herbs or vegetables to increase the nutrition and taste of the soup. For example, Chinese herbal medicines such as wolfberry, red dates, and angelica can be added to improve the nourishing effect of the soupAdding vegetables such as corn, carrots, and mushrooms can make the soup more flavorful. Be careful, though, not to add too many seasonings and herbs so as not to mask the umami flavor of the bone broth itself.
In addition to the above, there are some tips that can help you stew a better big bone broth. For example, some vinegar or lemon juice can be added during the simmering process, which helps to soften the calcium in the bones and release it into the soupYou can also fry the surface of the bones before simmering, so that the fat and aroma in the bones can be released more fully.
