Hello everyone, I'm Potato Balls. Today I want to talk to you about [the seasoning of the soup].
Are you boiling soup only salt, MSG and pepper three-piece set? Haha, in fact, the three things of cooking soup every day are basically enough. However, if you want the soup to have a more diverse taste, you can use some other auxiliary seasonings with different smells and flavors.
1. Pepper
The reason why pepper can sit firmly in the position of the soup three-piece set is because of its unique aroma, rich and versatile. Almost all soups can be seasoned with pepper to remove the smell and enhance the flavor. If you're a heavy pepper lover, try grinding peppercorns into soups, as crushed pepper tastes stronger than ground pepper.
2. Sesame oil
Sesame oil is made of sesame seeds, fragrant and mellow, and adding a few drops of sesame oil to the soup can be described as the finishing touch.
3. Millet spicy
Inspired by Korean cuisine, some light vegetarian soups, such as bean sprout soup, tofu soup, rice cake soup, etc., can add some millet spicy to add flavor, which is very suitable for hangover soup.
4. Oyster sauce
Oyster sauce has a salty, fresh and slightly sweet taste, and has the unique flavor of oysters, making it a good companion when cooking, and it is also suitable for adding freshness to soups, such as gnocchi soup.
5. Tomato paste
Tomato sauce has a sweet and slightly sour taste, which is perfect for soup dishes with sour, spicy, sweet and sour flavors.
6. Coconut milk
A regular fan of Thai cuisine, its rich coconut aroma can add color and flavor to the soup, and increase the appetite.
7. Miso
The salty and fresh flavor of the seasonings commonly used in Japanese and Korean cuisine in the northeastern region of China is very suitable for pairing with broth to make a soup dish with a rich sauce flavor.
8. Angelica dahurica
Angelica has both an aromatic smell and a spicy and slightly bitter taste, making it a good partner for mutton soup. Angelica angelica not only helps remove the fishy smell of mutton, but also adds a unique aroma and umami flavor to the soup.
9. Curry powder
In addition to special curry dishes, curry powder is used in the production of beef broth in some regions, and the fresh, salty and spicy beef broth adds a little curry powder to give it a unique taste.
10. Korean hot sauce
This is one of the most iconic spices of spicy and refreshing Korean cuisine, with a sweet and sour taste, and when added to the Korean hot sauce, the red soup is very appetizing.
Do you know which spices are good for adding the finishing touch to a delicious soup?
