Why is the coleslaw on the side of the road so delicious? It turns out that the secret to the deliciousness lies in three unique spices that give the dish a rich flavor and texture.
First, let's talk about the first seasoning – a well-blended dip. This dipping sauce is made with great attention to detail and contains a variety of spices such as fresh minced garlic, Sichuan peppercorn powder and chopped coriander. This makes the dipping sauce not only exude an attractive aroma, but also have a slightly spicy flavor, which greatly enriches the taste of the coleslaw.
Secondly, we have the second spice – a secret sauce. The uniqueness of this sauce lies in the clever combination of ingredients, including soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and sesame oil. This makes the sauce have both salty and sweet and sour tastes, making the taste of coleslaw more three-dimensional and rich.
Finally, we introduce the third spice – a spicy seasoning. This seasoning is made with a clever blend of chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, salt, and monosodium glutamate. Its spicy flavor is stimulating, providing the ultimate enjoyment for the taste experience of cold dishes.
The skill of using these three spices is crucial. Skilled chefs will skillfully mix these seasonings according to the taste characteristics of different dishes, making the flavor of the coleslaw more unique. What's even more interesting is that they soak the coleslaw in these seasonings to ensure that each slice of vegetable is able to fully absorb the aroma and flavor.
It is these three unique seasonings that give the roadside coleslaw its fresh aroma and flavorful characteristics, which make people have an endless aftertaste after tasting it, and it is unforgettable. Whether it's in the heat of summer or the cold of winter, these delicious coleslaws can always bring us a refreshing and satisfying feeling.
Coleslaw, as the focal point of the table, shows an intoxicating delicacy whether it is paired with rice or sake. Its fresh, refreshing, sour and appetizing characteristics always arouse our cravings for food. Paired with a glass of liquor, especially with lo-mei, various side dishes and peanuts, etc., after clever seasoning, people can't help but enjoy it, one bite after another, without feeling dull at all.
So what makes coleslaw at roadside stalls so delicious, and what are the spices that make them representative of street food? This question makes many people curious, whether some unique "taboo" ingredients are added, which makes people unforgettable and always have an endless aftertaste. In fact, the "three seasonings" are the key, and they give the coleslaw a rich aroma and taste that makes people want to stop.
First of all, I have to mention the first seasoning: sesame oil. Sesame oil plays an indispensable role in the preparation of coleslaw. This is not an ordinary sesame oil, but a unique sesame oil that is fried with a variety of spices and side dishes. This sesame oil contains the unique aroma of a variety of spices, and at the same time incorporates the rich aroma of green onions, ginger and garlic, whether it is mixed with vegetables or meat, it can bring the ultimate deliciousness to the dish.
To make this sesame oil, first prepare rich ingredients such as green onions, shallots, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Wash these materials carefully and drain them for later use. Next, heat the oil in a pan, and when the oil temperature reaches three or four percent hot, add the green onions, ginger, garlic and coriander and fry until their surface is slightly browned. Then, various spices are added in turn to fry the oil to allow the aroma to be fully released. Eventually, all the ingredients are removed from the pan and filtered to create a fragrant onion oil that is the icing on the cake for the salad.
The prepared sesame oil can be stored in a bottle and used in cold dishes or stir-fried dishes, just add a spoonful of this sesame oil to make the dish more fragrant.
Next up is the second seasoning: garlic water. Whether it's a cold dish or a cold skin, garlic water is an indispensable seasoning. Adding garlic directly will prevent the garlic flavor from being fully integrated into the dish, so it is important to make garlic water so that the garlic flavor can be fully distributed.
To make rich garlic water, you first need to peel and chop the garlic finely, the finer the better, so that the aroma of the garlic can be better released. Then, wash the minced garlic and discard the rinse water to make sure the minced garlic is clean. Next, place the minced garlic in a bowl, add a spoonful of salt, and pour it into a cool boiled boil and stir well to allow the minced garlic to soak well in the brine, which helps to remove the pungent flavor of the garlic while retaining the aroma. Soak for about 10 minutes, and the garlic water is ready.
In addition to garlic water, there is another crucial seasoning, and that is cold sauce. The taste of coleslaw varies from home to home, mainly depending on the seasoning used. And I think the most delicious seasoning is this sauce.
Here's how to make the salad: mix 50 grams of light soy sauce, 50 grams of sugar, 100 grams of rice vinegar, 25 grams of soy sauce, 25 grams of oyster sauce, 15 grams of chicken essence and 20 grams of monosodium glutamate, and then add 500 grams of cold white boil and stir well to make a delicious sauce.
Whether it's a salad or a cold skin, simply pour this special sauce over and drizzle with some fresh garlic water and aromatic sesame oil. If you're in the mood for spicy flavors, add some chili oil and stir well to create a delicious meal full of aroma.
It's winter season, whether you're enjoying a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal or indulging in a delicious hot pot, these precious seasonings are indispensable. On a cold winter day, infusing this unique garlic water and sauce into a coleslaw is sure to surprise your taste buds with a warm and beautiful taste.
