When the color of spices in the pot becomes darker, add rock sugar and mash juice, and cook slowly on low heat until the water in mash juice completely evaporates. At this time, take the pot away from the fire, and.

Second, the preparation of hot pot soup

1, pig bonzi bone and bovine bonzi bone are washed and crushed; Wash the chicken claw bones; Ginger is broken; The onion is knotted.

2. First, blanch pig bones, ox bones and chicken feet bones in a boiling water pot, take them out and put them in a clear water pot, add ginger, onion and cooking wine, boil them with strong fire, then simmer them with low fire until the soup is milky white, and remove residues to get fresh soup.

3. Then add chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, put dried peppers and prickly ash into a wok, add vegetable oil and stir fry, and then sprinkle them into five hot pots respectively? Sprinkle150g of dried pepper and 25g of pepper on each hot pot. At this time, the hot pot can be served, and all kinds of raw materials can be blanched after cooking for a few minutes.

Third, some related problems in operation

1, hot pot bottom material must be fried with low fire, so as to avoid the raw materials from being fried and let the fragrance and pigment in the raw materials fully ooze out.

2. In the frying process, use a spoon or spatula to turn it constantly, so that the raw materials are heated evenly and avoid sticking to the pot.

3. Pixian watercress added to the bottom material of hot pot is mainly used to improve taste, while Zanba pepper is mainly used to improve color, but both of them should be slowly fried to dry water, so that their taste and pigment can be fully dissolved in oil.

4. Adding rock sugar to the hot pot bottom material can play the role of "bright" soup. The purpose of adding mash juice is to make the spicy taste in watercress and pepper and the fragrance in spices fully seep out and dissolve into oil. In addition, adding mash juice can also play a role in reconciling various flavors and removing the bitterness of some spices.

5. adding spices to the bottom of hot pot is undoubtedly to enhance fragrance? Lithospermum is added to increase the red color, but the amount of spices should not be too large, otherwise it will produce bitterness. At the same time, the types of spices added should not be too many, mainly common spices such as star anise, kaempferia kaempferia, cinnamon and fennel, with a small amount of other spices added as auxiliary. Note that in general, the spices added in the chafing dish bottom material are less than those added in the brine preparation.

6. When preparing hot pot soup, if the taste requirements are not too spicy, then the dried peppers inside don't need to be directly fried in oil in a wok, but cooked in a boiling pot first? To reduce its spicy taste, and then take it out and sprinkle it in the hot pot.

7. There are some differences between the large batch frying method and the small batch frying method of hot pot bottom materials. When frying in small batches, it is generally necessary to grind spices into powder to reduce their dosage and shorten the frying time of spices appropriately.

8. After the hot pot bottom material is fried, a layer of oil floats on the surface. We can use part of this layer of oil as the old oil for the next frying as the "mother oil", because this will make the flavor of the hot pot bottom material more rich and mellow.
