Speaking of lard, it is a veritable childhood delicacy. When I was a child, my family often went to the meat stall in the market to buy a large piece of pork suet, which was white and had no red at all. Many friends thought it was made? Lard? It's simple. Can be refined in a pot. In fact, white and greasy lard needs to be boiled in water. If you want to cook white but not fishy lard, you can cut pork suet into pieces, blanch it with onion, ginger and cooking wine, then take it out, start another pot, add a bowl of water, and pour the blanched pork suet into it. When the water content decreases, continue to simmer on low heat. You must be patient when you see that the steam has evaporated and only oil is left.
When I was a child, whenever I cooked lard at home, I would put it in a big pot. Whether cooking, mixing noodles or mixing rice, I will dig a spoonful of lard and add it. Food with lard is especially fragrant. But later, health knowledge began to make people realize the harm of eating too much lard to their health, and gradually lard faded out of people's table.
In fact, lard is widely used, not only as a side dish with rice, but also as a variety of Chinese and western snacks, such as souffle, Melaleuca cake, various shortcakes and scallion cakes. Shortcakes made of lard have a better crisp effect.
