Preparation of Sichuan stewed food ingredients

When making Sichuan braised dishes, you must first prepare the ingredients. You can prepare 25 grams of star anise, 15 grams of cinnamon, 20 grams of fennel, 10 grams of licorice, 10 grams of cinnamon, 3 to 5 grams of sweet cabbage, 20 grams of pepper, 10 grams of amomum, 5 grams of cardamom, 15 grams of cardamom, 15 grams of cloves, 100 grams of ginger and Shaoxing wine each, 150 grams of green onions, 400 grams of rock sugar, 15 grams of MSG, 500 grams of salt, 5 kilograms of fresh soup, 50 grams of cooking oil, two gauze bags, and the appropriate amount of ingredients you want to braise.

Specific steps for making stewed dishes

1. Put all the prepared seasonings into two gauze bags and tie them up tightly. Wash and flatten the ginger before bagging, wash the green onions and roll up the roots. Crush the prepared rock sugar, add oil to the pot, heat it and turn it to low heat, then put the rock sugar in and stir-fry it slowly. When it turns dark red, add 500 grams of water and boil it to get the sugar color.

2. Put the pot on the fire, add 5 kg of prepared fresh soup into the pot, then put in all the ginger and onion, add edible MSG and sugar to mix well, and finally add the packaged seasoning packet, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly. After simmering for about half an hour, you can smell the aroma and the homemade fresh marinade is ready.

3. Put the dishes to be braised directly into the brine and cook them. After they are cooked, soak them overnight and take them out to make your own Sichuan braised dishes. Here we need to warn everyone that when braising meat dishes, the meat ingredients must be blanched in boiling water in advance. The blanching time should be about five minutes. After taking them out, drain the water before putting them into the brine for braising. In this way, impurities in the meat are not easy to remain in the brine, which is conducive to the repeated use of the brine.
