As we all know, bacon is first marinated with salt and seasonings, and then hung to dry. Therefore, the bacon itself has a strong salty taste.
The best way to get rid of the salty taste of bacon is to boil it in water first.
Because the recipe for making bacon is different for each person and place, the saltiness of bacon may also be different. Therefore, it is recommended to boil it in water for about 5-10 minutes, and then take it out and taste the saltiness. If it's still too salty, cook it a little longer until it's just the right amount of saltiness.
If you are afraid that the bacon will be too bad after boiling for too long, you don't have to worry if it is not delicious. First, bacon is not fresh meat after all, it is air-dried meat, and it will be crispy after boiling for twenty or thirty minutes. Second, the bacon will have to be fried in the future to be delicious, and it will become chewy again.
The skin of bacon is difficult to cut because it has been dried, but it is much easier to cut it after boiling it. You can also cut the bacon slices into thin slices for subsequent cooking.
In fact, because the bacon has been adjusted, it can be eaten directly when it is boiled or steamed if it does not like the trouble. However, I still prefer fried bacon because it is more fragrant and delicious!
The most common method is to stir-fry bacon with garlic leaves.
Method:
1. After washing the bacon, put it in the pot, add the water that has not covered the meat pieces, boil for about 10 20 minutes, remove and cut into thin slices.
2. Put a little oil in the pot, pour in the bacon slices and stir-fry, wait until the meat slices change color and get oily, add ginger slices and garlic leaves (if you like spicy food, you can also add chili peppers here), stir-fry for a while, add a little light soy sauce (don't add too much, because the bacon is already very salty), and then stir-fry evenly, you can put it out of the pot and put it on the plate.
The combination of bacon and garlic leaves makes the aroma even more intense, and the deliciousness is definitely doubled, and I can go with two bowls of rice with this dish alone!
