Doing this extra step before cooking, the meat becomes sweeter and richer, the dish will definitely be more delicious and attractive.
Marinated with sugar
Sugar should never be omitted when marinating meat, that’s what you need to remember. Usually when marinating meat, we only care so that the meat is rich and fragrant. So what you are interested in is salt, fish sauce, monosodium glutamate, seasoning, and sugar, depending on the dish or as you like. However, few people know that sugar not only helps balance the spices, but also makes each piece of meat sweeter. Therefore, add sugar to marinated meat dishes to make it more delicious. Of course, in addition to sugar, don’t forget MSG, seasoning, which helps to neutralize the seasoning and also makes the meat more sweet and rich. Try to marinate enough time for the sugar to soak into every fiber of the meat. Marinated with beer Beef, pork, after being cut into bite-sized pieces and marinated with spices, you put in a little beer, leave it for a few minutes before stir-frying. In this way, fried, braised, grilled or stewed meat will be softer, more fragrant and especially sweeter. For chicken, after cleaning, you soak the chicken with water mixed with beer for 20 minutes, then steam or boil, the chicken will also be more fragrant and sweet. For braised and braised pork dishes, after cooking for meat, instead of using water to pour ginseng on the meat, you should use beer. This will help the pieces of meat become more fragrant, more attractive and even sweeter. Do not cook the meat too thoroughly Overcooking causes the meat to release a lot of water, the fibers are dry, fibrous and the meat loses its inherent sweetness. Therefore, when stir-frying, boiling meat, you should only cook until cooked. How long is the cooking time of meats to ensure that the meat is cooked enough but still safe? You can refer to the standard time as follows: – For pork: Boil or braise meat 20-25 minutes; Fry the meat for 10 minutes on each side; Stir fry meat for 5-7 minutes. Note: For stir-fry dishes, usually you will stir-fry the pork first, then pour in vegetables or other dishes. If the cooking time of these ingredients is too long, you can stir-fry the cooked meat first and then transfer it to a plate. Continue to stir-fry other ingredients until almost cooked, then pour in the pork. This way you usually apply with beef, but pork is also recommended. For chicken: Boiled chicken for 15-20 minutes, simmering and turning off the heat to braise for 10-15 minutes can take it out. Braised chicken requires 10-15 minutes. – For beef: Stir-fried beef for 3-5 minutes is poured into a plate, braised beef is soft for 20-25 minutes. Stir-fry/stock with vegetables with sweetness Carrots, mushrooms, onions, young corn, sugarcane, white radish, pineapple… are vegetables that have a sweet taste, during the cooking process, they will release sweetness into the water and so the pieces of meat cooked together will become should taste better. Therefore, when cooking meat with many other ingredients, you should choose at least one ingredient with sweetness to make the meat more juicy. For dishes that need more time to cook, such as stewed stock, you should apply this trick to make the dish rich and attractive. KN (th)
