What can I put in the chicken soup for Xiao Yuezi? Skills to make chicken soup taste better;
First, kill live chickens and eat frozen ones.
We are all used to buying live chickens in the market, slaughtering them on the spot, and dropping chicken soup when we get home. I hope we can't delay every minute. Actually, this is not right.
After the fresh chicken is bought, it should be frozen in the freezer for 3~4 hours, and then the thawed stew is taken out.
This is the same as the principle of acid meat. When an animal is killed suddenly, it will naturally release a variety of toxins, and the bacteria in the freshly slaughtered hot meat will multiply rapidly.
Freezing can not only kill bacteria, but also make the meat transition from "stiff stage" to "rotten chicken essence stage" and then to "mature stage". The meat quality is the best at this time, and then the stew is obviously fragrant and tender.
Second, flying water-essential work
Actually, it's not just chicken. Before any stew, the main ingredients should be scalded with boiling water. This can not only remove the fishy smell, but also be a thorough cleaning process, and also make the soup clear and not turbid, and the chicken essence is delicious and tasteless, and it will work as soon as it is tried.
Of course, flying water is also learned. If meat is put in cold water, it will go through a cooking process from cold to boiling, and the nutrient loss is serious. It is best to boil the pot in warm water for about 7~8 minutes, without covering it, and turn it over in time. Boiling water is also ok, it takes 3~5 minutes.
You can also soak the slaughtered chicken in salt, pepper and beer 1 hour, and there will be no such smell when cooking.
Some frozen chickens bought from the market have a strange smell in the cold storage, which affects eating. Soak in ginger juice for 3-5 minutes before cooking, which can refresh and remove odor.
Third, the boiling water is "raw" hot.
Stewed soup should be boiled in cold water, so that the raw materials can fully release nutrition and fragrance from the slow rise of water temperature.
The raw materials cooked in the pot at the same temperature as water can make a good taste, so it is important to remember that the raw materials after flying water should be washed with cold water immediately and then stewed in the pot.
Fourth, temperature-guess big and guess small.
Stewed chicken soup should be cooked with high fire 10 minutes or so, and then turned to slow fire. The degree of boiling should be controlled like boiling, because the casserole has a good heat preservation function. If the fire is turned down when boiling, the subsequent boiling process will lose the "freshness" of the soup.
Moreover, don't open the lid during 10 minutes, and the "breathless" soup will lose its original taste.
Fifth, the knowledge of salt.
This is still a big problem for stew. The time of putting salt can dominate the taste of soup in a sense. Whether someone says that salt should be put in the pot or when it is half cooked, it is wrong.
When the salt is cooked for a long time, it will react chemically with the meat, locking the protein in the meat. When the soup is weak, the meat will not be stewed. So when should the salt be put away? Remember, when cooking soup, you must put seasonings such as salt.
After adding salt, turn to high heat 10 minutes, then cease fire, without uncovering the cover halfway, not only the taste is all in, but also the soup is stronger. Be careful not to stir the salt after putting it in, it will leave the smell of raw salt.
Why are you confinement? We all know that China has the custom of confinement, and we attach importance to confinement. So why do people in China have confinement and foreigners don't? What is scientific confinement?
I am an obstetrician and gynecologist. I want to talk about my views on "confinement" which is hotly debated in society. It is true that confinement is a habit of China people, and it has been handed down from ancient times, but everything should keep pace with the times. Objectively speaking, I don't agree that confinement is the most traditional bad habit with China characteristics influenced by Chinese medicine culture.
In the 265438+20th century, we advocated "scientific confinement", that is, let the parturient adjust the physical changes brought by pregnancy and delivery within one month after delivery, and change from sub-health state to health state. At the same time, there is a new member in the family. As a mother, she should learn to take care of her children, breastfeed and adapt to life with children. From the daughter's mentality to the mother's mentality, she will complete a mental journey from accepting love to giving love. After the full moon, as a pregnant woman, she will be physically and mentally healthy for her family and children.
The so-called bad habits mainly refer to "lying-in women should not only stay indoors and sit up, but also close the doors and windows." Mothers should also wear hats or towels and thick clothes, even in hot weather. In order to avoid catching cold, women should not wash their hair, take a bath, get wet or even brush their teeth. Maternal women can't drink cold water, cold drinks or eat "cold" food. "
This statement is too extreme. Now our living conditions can't be compared with those in ancient times. During pregnancy, we know that folic acid and calcium supplementation can provide perinatal care. When giving birth in the hospital, there are enough medical facilities to protect the parturient and strict disinfection and isolation measures to avoid infection; The living conditions in our family are improving. Now we have air conditioning, heating, shower and toilet. Whether it is urban or rural, whether it is a building or a bungalow. Modern people's medical and health knowledge is much more popular than that of ancient people, which are the basis of modern scientific confinement.
Because of calcium deficiency during pregnancy, ancient people didn't know how to supplement calcium, and they were not allowed to brush their teeth, which led to osteoporosis, so there was a saying that "a child lost a tooth". Bathing was not allowed in ancient times, and there are no good conditions now. After giving birth to a child, pregnant women sweat a lot every day, the cervix gradually contracts, and a lot of lochia flows out every day. Therefore, they should take a bath, but dry their bodies and get dressed. Don't let the air conditioner blow directly. Just keep the room temperature at 26 degrees in summer. Heat stroke should be prevented in summer, and the room should be ventilated every day. Even if the air conditioner is turned on, turn it off for a while before opening the window for ventilation. Adults and children only need to wear cool summer clothes.
It must be admitted that there is a difference between China people and westerners. China people drink hot water, while westerners drink cold water. China people have thin hair, while westerners have thick hair. China people's diet is mainly whole grains, while westerners' diet is mainly milk and meat, and so on, so we can't completely apply the western outlook on life to China people.
So our present confinement is scientific and humanized, not a bad habit, and has nothing to do with Chinese medicine. It is also reasonable for people to talk about some health preservation methods when they are doing confinement.
So we advocate scientific confinement.
Attachment: "confinement":
Introduction in Baidu Encyclopedia:
Confinement can be traced back to the Book of Rites in the Western Han Dynasty, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is called "within the month", which is a necessary ritual behavior after childbirth. From a sociological point of view, confinement is to help the lying-in woman get through the turning point of life smoothly, because the baby's output has changed her body and life. From the wife to the mother, from outsiders to family members, the confinement ceremony has prompted the mother to enter a sacred position, and people around her are willing to pay for her. Maternal women take this opportunity to vent accumulated grievances and eliminate long-term labor accumulation. Whether it is puerperal or confinement, it means that women should stay in bed, take good care of their bodies and promote the recovery of reproductive organs and bodies as soon as possible.
Han Dian pointed out that "confinement" means that a woman recuperates her body within one month after giving birth to a child.
In short, postpartum new mothers should pay attention to confinement, master confinement knowledge, do confinement well, let the body recover as soon as possible and ensure good health.
