What is the secret to cooking temperature

If you want to cook a delicious dish, seasoning is one aspect, and the other is the control of the heat. If the heat is not controlled well, it is easy to burn the dish or not cook it well. Just like the order in which seasonings are added when cooking, adding them at the wrong time will affect the taste and color of the dish. The seemingly simple cooking process actually reveals a lot of skills that need to be mastered. So how do you control the heat when cooking?

1. Add salt when cooking is finished

When cooking stir-fried pork slices, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried white vegetables, stir-fried garlic sprouts, and stir-fried celery, put the vegetables into the pan when the fire is high and the oil temperature is high. It is best to hear a "pop" sound when the vegetables are put into the pan. Add a proper amount of salt when everything is stir-fried. The fried dishes will be tender but not overcooked, and have less nutrient loss.

2. Dishes that require salt before cooking

When steaming meat, because the object is thick and large, and during the steaming process

No more seasonings can be added, so sufficient salt and seasonings should be added at once before steaming.

When roasting a whole fish or frying fish fillets, marinate them lightly with an appropriate amount of salt before cooking to help the salty flavor penetrate the meat.

When cooking fish balls, meat balls, etc., first add an appropriate amount of salt and starch to the minced meat, stir it evenly and then add water to allow it to absorb enough water. The cooked fish balls and meat balls will be fresh and tender.

For some stir-fried, fried or deep-fried dishes, add salt to the ingredients and mix well before coating them with batter. This will make the batter stick closely to the ingredients and prevent them from falling off.

3. Dishes that require salt just before eating

If you add too much salt to cold dishes such as cold lettuce and cucumber, the juice will overflow and they will lose their crispness. If you add salt a moment before eating, marinate them slightly, drain the water, and add seasonings, they will be crisper and more delicious.

4. Add salt when cooking

When making braised pork or fish fillets, add salt and seasonings after the meat is stir-fried or the fish is frying, then bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.

5. Vegetables that need to be salted after being cooked

Add salt to season meat soups such as meat broth, bone soup, leg and claw soup, chicken soup, and duck soup after they are cooked. This will allow the protein and fat in the meat to dissolve more fully in the soup, making the soup more delicious. When stewing tofu, add salt after it is cooked, just like with meat soup.

There is so much knowledge involved in this simple process, and other factors must of course be considered differently.
