In addition to chicken, beef and lamb, and ribs, pigeon meat is also very popular. The pigeons that I bought back, although small, are stewed into pigeon soup and taste delicious. Personally, I think it is more delicious and delicious than chicken soup, and even children love it.
In winter, if you want to nourish, pigeon soup is a good choice, the nutritional value is particularly high, after all, there is a saying that everyone must have heard: "one pigeon wins nine chickens", although the pigeon is small and cheap, but the effect of supplementation is much stronger than chicken. Especially people who are weak, as well as the elderly and children, drink more.
However, stewing pigeon soup is not a pigeon stew in a pot, you can do it, and there are many small skills. For example, some spices cannot be put, some steps cannot be done, and so on. Then if you want the soup to be delicious and tasteless, and the nutrition is not lost, you must keep in mind the "3 do not put 2 can not" trick.
3 Do not put:
Do not put cooking wine, star anise, cinnamon balls. When stewing pigeon soup, do not use cooking wine to fish, add green onion and ginger is enough. Do not put star anise, many people in the stew, like to put the star anise into it, in fact, it is easy to destroy the umami taste, not good to drink. Do not put guiyuan, many people think that when stewing soup, adding a little guiyuan can enhance the aroma and nutrition, in fact, it is not, the guiyuan is hot, and it is easy to cause fire after putting it in.
2 Can't:
The first can not be to cut the pigeon into pieces, but should be put whole into the stew, so that the nutrition will not cause damage, the second can not be blanched, after boiling water is also easy to cause the loss of nutrients and umami.
