2. | How To Cook A Pot Of Good Soup
Soup boiling is one of the common cooking
skills especially in the Chinese community.
We drink soup almost every day. Soup is
effective in treating a cold or fever. Here are
some important points on how to cook a pot
of good Chinese herbal soup.
First, blanch the meat in boiling water
briefly. The reason of this is to remove the
froth and blood of the meat. By doing this,
the soup will be clear and clean. The lean
meat from the front leg of the pork is
preferable for soup boiling as it can be
boiled for few hours and the meat still
remain tender. In order to make fis soup,
clean the fish with some lemon and pan fried both side of the fish. The reason of
doing this is to get rid of the fishy smell and avoid the fish from breaking up while
boiling. The other important point is not to add in the salt at the early stage of soup.
Salt is able to permeable into the meat and release the moisture and at the same
time speed up the solidification of protein.
This will affect the freshness and tastiness of the soup. Do not lift up the lid
unnecessarily when boiling a soup in order to maintain the temperature and to
ensure the quality of the soup. Do not add water in the middle of the boiling process.
If the soup is drying up and you really need to add water, add only hot water. The
level of heat used when boiling soup is important. Firstly, bring the soup to boil over
high heat (5-10 minutes) then switch to low heat and simmer it for 1-2 hours
(depending the amount of meat and water).
