Is fish + sheep really fresh?
For the word fresh, the first feeling is a taste sensation with the word, delicious, tender, etc. to express the taste description of the food. But in fact, no one paid attention to the combination of the word fresh, fish and sheep together are fresh. So why is the fresh word a combination of fish and sheep?
The story has to say a long time ago, at that time, Huizhou, that is, anhui region, there were sheep fell into the river, was eaten by the fish, and then the fishermen caught the fish and found that there was broken lamb in the belly, after the clean chest, the broken lamb was stuffed back into the fish belly, boiled together, and the result was that when eating, it was found to be extremely delicious, and over time there was a classic hui dish of fish biting sheep.
In everyone's cognition, lamb is with a smell of smell, fish and fishy smell, two kinds of odor more prominent ingredients fused together, but let people can not eat the odor, in addition to the fresh to a little sweet feeling, there is no trace of odor in it, this may be the so-called thing must be reversed.
It is also a whim, just go to the market to buy fish and lamb, then do it once to see if the fish and sheep are really fresh.
Lamb choose the front leg meat, more suitable for stewing, but also more easy to soft rotten, the key front leg meat is not only tender, but also contains a certain amount of fat, so that the stewed soup is fragrant enough.
Fish use blackfish, blackfish as a carnivorous fish, their own fishy smell is relatively small, the key is that the fish bones are much less than other fish, when stewed together, the soup will not be mixed with fish bones, eating will be more painful.
Speaking of which, what exactly is to be done? The simplest way is to stew soup, originally thought of frying the fish and then adding water to stew out the white soup and pour it into the lamb soup pot, but when you think about it, frying will destroy the purest original taste of the ingredients, simply it is all stew, no need to add oil, no need to fry, the most primitive cooking method will get the purest taste.
Make this soup without other spices, to avoid spices affecting the taste, after all, I want to try the real taste of fish and lamb mixed together, so only with onion ginger, pepper, salt, a little cooking wine is enough.
The fresh lamb bought back should not be washed, nor blanched, directly cut into pieces and put into the pot, add some green onion and ginger cooking wine, and after the water is boiled, skim off the foam. Washing or blanching water will cause a lot of meat aroma loss.
There are two ways to stew broth, one is to stew on high heat, so that the soup juice stewed out is fragrant and white, because the fat in the meat is constantly tumbling and impacting in boiling water, it is easier to seep out, and the actual fragrant white is the role of fat. The second is to simmer the clear soup over a low heat, so that the soup is slightly boiling or not boiling, so that the soup is clear and the aroma is relatively simple.
I want a strong flavor, so simmer over high heat for about 40 minutes, adding boiling water once or twice in between.
After washing the blackfish, it was cut into thick pieces, and I wanted to fry it first and then stew it, and finally blended it with the mutton soup, worried that the fried fish soup would make the soup have a greasy feeling, so I stewed it directly.
Simmer the lamb for 40 minutes, pour in the fish pieces, add some pepper and salt to bring down the taste, and then simmer on high heat for 20 minutes.
A pot of fragrant fish and sheep soup, taste a bite is really amazing, the soup does not have a trace of lamb and fishy smell, very pure fresh, how to describe it, is the kind of put a lot of MSG feeling, the aftertaste and a trace of sweetness, really wonderful.
This pot of soup you can drink directly, you can also like me under the noodles, so that the original ordinary noodles have become so different.
For me, the attempt was a success, the lamb was tender, the fish was soft, the soup was delicious, and the noodles were strong.
A bite of noodles, a piece of meat, a spoonful of soup, comfortable!
Like to taste the early, I strongly recommend that you try this method, simple and hassle-free, no greasy or smoky fire, some only this amazing deliciousness.
Make the complex simpler, make the simple more beautiful, let the beautiful and healthy at the same time, this is my @ Yu Food Pond, a non-traditional food author, worth your attention!
