0 comments
Yummy, if we discuss about the cuisine, it's stomach could no longer hear much less compromise when smelling favorite dishes .. hmmm .. yummy ..

Today I want to share about the guides cook Chinese cuisine is famous for its delicious distinctive. Sharing briefly about special Chinese cuisine for you that really a beginner, so at least can be directly understood and practice on the spot. Let's look together.

The first time you ate Chinese food Britain in the 1970 actually is not very interesting. All originated in gloopy sauce and seemed to taste the same, due to overuse of monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer, supposedly, but really, that sort of thing. Then in the 1980s a new generation of restaurants Chinese arrived (at least that long to reach the province), which offers a light food, most delicious Chinese shows regional differences. There are drawbacks, however, is that this new type of restaurant is more expensive than the cheap "these. No original unflavored As a result, I think of how happy food Chinese to cook at home, but do not know where to start until the BBC came to my rescue in the form of Ken Hom, the chef of the United States, Cantonese parents.

Ken showed a cuisine Chinese so easy to understand, that shows the methods and alternative materials must show that the original is not available in your local supermarket. The book accompanying the series, Ken Hom Chinese cooked in my Bible and I have my copy yet, the pages stained with drops of oil and salsa stains.

To help you on your way to cook Chinese food at home, I will briefly describe the basics of equipment, materials and techniques you need to know what you can do some simple and tasty dishes. I hope you enjoyed the article and that inspires you to cook!

Team

Although there are many instruments and pieces of equipment you can buy to get started on your way to cook your own food Chinese, you just need a good knife or two and pans. Wok comes in all shapes and sizes, which are non-stick, flat-confidence, even as electricity today, but still I have my old carbon steel wok here and the bottom round wooden handles. This is a bread Pau. They are easily available in supermarkets and Chinese much cheaper than other varieties. There is an important task, however, before you are ready to cook in a pan and as it is today. You need to scrub cream cleaner to remove waste engine oil and dry thoroughly. Place the pan on the stove to simmer. Rub the inside of the pan with two tablespoons of cooking oil with kitchen paper. Let the wok heat slowly for 10 to 15 minutes and then wipe the inside with more kitchen paper. Document in black. Wear layers, heating and clean kitchen towel comes away clean. Your wok is now ready for use. After use, wash only with water without detergent and dry on low heat. You can also apply a little oil if desired. This will prevent the pan to rust, but if it develops rust, just scrub and over again.

Like the bread, it is necessary to stand pan, especially if you have an electric stove. It keeps the wok stable if used for stewing or frying.

You will also have something to awaken any spatula, slice or slotted spoon will do - metal to metal wok and plastic or wood to a nonstick skillet.

Material

Before you touch to purchase full Chinese supermarkets, remember that some materials are not kept, when not in use. Simply select the item from the book cookery choose and buy the items you need to then you can expand your options as you progress through different dishes.

Some common pantry ingredients that will almost certainly need a dark soy sauce and light, some kind of cooking oil and sesame oil, rice flour and rice wine or sherry. For more information, see my article on Cooking Equipment Materials and Chinese.

Scheme

Stir-fry

The most popular method of cooking stir-fry Chinese. This is where the very way your wok and size (14 inches minimum width of the edge) is ideal for fast cooking. The secret to successful stir-frying is to have all ingredients prepared in advance.

The meat should be cut according to the recipe, but usually in thin sheets. Vegetables also but in any case should be a similar shape and size to ensure even cooking. Long thin vegetables such as leeks, carrots and asparagus are often cut diagonally, so that a greater surface to cook more quickly realized. Measure the sauce ingredients - check the prescription - if they all added to the plate, at the same time, you can put them all in a small bowl. If the flour is inserted, do not forget to give food stir well before adding another.

Once you have all the hot list, your wok until very hot and then add the oil and the use of a stirring implement of your choice to ensure that the oil evenly over the surface of the pan. Before adding the ingredients. Bread should be so hot that almost smoking - this will prevent grease food. The exception is if the oil of spices with garlic, chile, onion, ginger and salt - will burn if the oil is too hot.

Now add the remaining ingredients in the order indicated in the recipe, and threw the plate to make sure nothing is in one place for long food and move from the center of the pan aside. I suggest you use an apron or protective clothing for the operation of food often spits due to high temperature cooking.

Fry in

You can use the wok for frying, but very carefully balanced a safe in a taxi. Under no circumstances leave it unattended. Fry in a pan with a little oil in a skillet or pot, but you can find a more secure and easier to use.

When frying, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding ingredients or food will end up too greasy. Try it by dropping a small piece food prepared pan or bucket. If the oil bubbles around it dropped it hot enough.

Make sure you completely dry fried food kitchen paper or drained marinade before cooking otherwise it will spit.

Shallow frying

This is the same with Western techniques. X5y5z Fry on one side then the other and ran away excess oil before adding sauce ingredients. A normal frying pan is good for.

Steam

Steaming is widely used in Chinese cookery. You can use bamboo boat in a skillet, heat resistant, the plate is placed on a rack in the wok or large skillet over another or you can use a normal European vessel.

If using bamboo boat or a bowl in a saucepan, bring about 2 inches water to boil. Place the grill in a pan (if the boat is big enough bamboo and sits on the side of the pan is not in the water, you have no racks) and the balance of your plate, or food vessels. Replace the lid on the container or in a pan and check occasionally to see if the water needs topping (use hot water).

Whichever method you use, make sure food raise the water level and not get wet.

Stew

As in Western cooking, braising is used to harden the cuts of meat and involve cooking the meat tender and / or vegetables to flavor the stock. Red-braised food technique is boiled in a dark liquid such as soy food gives red / brown. This type of stew sauce can be frozen and re-used.
