Recipes with marinade spices

Homemade slow-cooked fragrant brine

I really can't eat the braised dishes sold outside. I tried a Chaoshan bagged marinade that was popular on the Internet before, but the greasy smell was too strong when it was cooked, and I couldn't get used to it. It seems that you can't be lazy when making braised food. It's still more reliable to carefully prepare a pot of marinade yourself. After each braising, carefully filter out impurities, boil it, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator for the next time. Why does the old braising become more fragrant as it is braised? First, the protein, amino acids, and fat of the ingredients will melt into the sauce during the braising process, and the flavor of the spices will be released repeatedly. Under the interaction, the taste becomes more and more intense and the layers are richer; second, the more times the braising is done, the spicy aroma of the spices in the marinade and the umami flavor of the ingredients will gradually balance and stabilize, and the braised food will naturally be more mellow. You should also pay attention to the storage of the old braising: filter and boil it for sterilization after each braising, seal it well and refrigerate or freeze it. It is recommended to use it within 1-2 weeks, and it is best to boil it again once a week for sterilization to prevent deterioration.

Shredded chicken

This “Shredded Chicken” dish combines finely shredded steamed chicken with the aroma of garlic, shallots, and ginger, then doused in hot oil to create a savory-warm touch and a soft crunchy texture on the onion pieces. The chicken is tender and the soy sauce and oyster sauce marinade is evenly absorbed, sweetened by the freshness of the cilantro. The steaming process makes this dish relatively low in fat and practical, but requires precision in steaming duration so that the chicken texture is not too soft and careful when pouring hot oil so that the onions do not burn and the spices are perfectly mixed.
