Turtle is a river nutrient and is rich in nutrients. It has a special taste, there are five kinds of meat such as pork, beef, fish, deer and chicken, so turtles are also called "gourmet five-flavor meat". Since ancient times, it has been a habit of eating turtles to nourish the body. This is a very good nutritional and health product, so you eat turtles in your daily life.
When it comes to how to eat turtles, many people think of steamed turtles, braised black turtles, turtle soup, stewed turtles, stewed mushroom turtles, turtle soup. Steamed turtles in particular are particularly popular!
But for the turtleS I'm going to make today, this method is special. It is also steamed off, but not a single drop of water is dropped during the steaming process. When finished, it was very tender, had no cloudy smell, and only 2 pounds of salt.
Let me introduce this method below
Turtles that do not need to be put into the water
Required ingredients
Ingredients: A fresh turtle
Ingredients: 2 kg of coarse salt, plenty of lemongrass
Seasoning: pepper, salt
mode of production
1. Lemongrass is a very good ingredient. I planted some in the yard. When used in cooking, lemon has a very clear aroma and has a good deodorant effect. After cleaning the picked lemongrass, cut off the excess leaves, leaving only the back half. After cleaning, set aside. If lemongrass is not available, celery or chives can be used instead, but lemongrass has a good deodorant effect. This is unmatched by other dishes.
2. After buying the cleaned turtle, clean it and set aside.
3. Prepare a thicker aluminum pot. If there is no aluminum pot, you can use an iron pot. It has to be thicker. Never use a pan that is too thin. Spread the prepared 2 pounds of coarse salt evenly over the bottom of the pan, then sprinkle the washed lemongrass evenly over the coarse salt and lay a layer. The next step is to put the processed turtle into the pot, put the turtle in place and cover the lid.
4. Place the turtle on a stove and burn on high heat for 10 minutes, then "steam" for 50 minutes on low heat. This "steamed" turtle is made without water droplets.
It only takes an hour to cook this dish, which is very convenient. When the pot is opened, it will emit the smell of steamed turtles, with a faint lemon flavor and the unique aroma of turtles, this taste is really good, it seems that the turtles that are "steamed" in this way really spoil people, and they can keep their mouths shut!
Since a large amount of lemongrass is used in this dish, the turtle has no fishy smell. Although there are no drips, the steamed meat is very tender. So why can this turtle not be steamed? That's because when the lemongrass is heated, it disperses the water in the lemongrass, while the turtle is "steamed" by the water in the lemongrass.
When eating, it is best to add some boiling water to eat, mash the prepared peppers with a garlic masher, add the right amount of salt and sesame oil and chicken essence, make it into water and dip it into meat, it tastes better!
You will see that this is the turtle that is "steamed" by this method. The turtle meat is very tender and the spicy and delicious dip will make it taste better.
