Watched a food show the other day and was very interested in hot spring eggs. Instead of soaking in the hot spring, the eggs are placed in warm water of about 60 degrees Celsius and soaked overnight. It is said that the eggs cooked in this way are beautiful in color, delicate in taste, and more nutritious. In addition, the chef also introduced the practice of hot spring fish and hot spring chicken, and it is said that the meat products made by this method are particularly tender, well-hydrated, and sweet and delicious. After I tried the hot spring eggs, I suddenly remembered that there was a pack of Western food ham seasoning at home, and the ham cooked with hot spring eggs must taste good!
This Western ham seasoning comes with casings, which is very simple to make, and one person can completely operate without enemas.
The recipe in the instructions is a pack of three pounds of meat, and my taste is relatively light, so I used four pounds of pork leg meat. One and a half pounds of pure lean meat is cut into diced meat, two and a half pounds of leg meat is stirred into shredded meat, and then chopped into pieces with a knife, without stirring into meat filling, some granular feeling is more fragrant to eat.
Take a large basin, add the seasoning and 350 grams of water, stir well and then put the meat filling and the meat pieces together, stir well and marinate for an hour. Scoop the marinated ham meat into the casing with a spoon and shake it a few more times to make the meat firmer. Tie the ends tightly with thicker cotton thread, and tie them in the middle. Four pounds of meat is a bit much, and the rest of the meat is made into a barbecue.
Boil a pot of warm water, the water temperature to the state of not hot hands, put the prepared Western ham into it, remember not to cover the lid, use the minimum heat to keep the warm state for an hour, cover the lid and simmer for an hour.
It is normal to clean the ham with a cold meal, and after natural cooling, due to thermal expansion and contraction, the surface of the ham intestine will become wrinkled.
This method of making cold Western ham is fragrant but not greasy, the taste is particularly soft and juicy, compared with the texture of the grilled sausage, there is a different taste, the original taste of pork, especially suitable for the elderly and children.
You can add it to toast bread and eat it with lettuce and tomato sauce to make a sandwich. My most frequent way of eating is the lazy way to eat: cut into large pieces, sprinkle a little cumin powder, microwave on high heat for a minute, the taste is simply beautiful!
