How should I choose the hot pot seasoning?

Author:

Hot pot is a delicacy that many people like to eat. Coupled with the fact that the temperature is dropping now, it is a good time to eat hot pot. In recent years, in addition to going to hot pot restaurants to eat hot pot, many people will also buy hot pot seasoning and come back to cook.

It is more cost-effective to make hot pot at home, and now many supermarkets sell hot pot seasoning, which is more convenient.

But don't look at the hot pot seasoning, the taste is very different, the wrong choice may not be delicious, then how to choose the hot pot seasoning.

1, see the list of ingredients

A good hotpot base should be made of butter, so we must check the ingredients list when buying.

If the first ingredient in the list of ingredients is butter, and the seasonings used are more common spices, monosodium glutamate, edible salt, etc., without too many additives, then it is a good hot pot seasoning.

2, look at the hardness

When we buy hot pot seasoning, it is best to pinch the hot pot seasoning. If we find that the hot pot seasoning is soft and lubricious, then it is a good hot pot seasoning.

This is mainly because some manufacturers in order to obtain higher profits, will use paraffin instead of butter, reduce the use of butter, thereby reducing costs.

However, the taste of paraffin wax cannot be compared with butter, and the melting point of paraffin wax is relatively high, and it is relatively hard at the same time, so indentation cannot occur when pinching.

In addition, the melting point of paraffin wax is relatively high, and it will only melt when it reaches 50 degrees, while butter only needs 30 degrees to melt.

So we can use this method to tell whether we are buying butter hotpot.

3 Look at the color.

Many people think that the redder the hot pot seasoning, the hotter it is and the more delicious it is, but in fact, a good hot pot seasoning should be dark red after cooking.

This is mainly because many hot pot condiments are made with dried chili, and after the dried chili is cooked, it is slightly cloudy and cannot be very bright red.

If you find that the color of the boiled soup is particularly bright red and looks particularly appetizing, then it may be that pigment has been added.

4, look at the appearance

A good hot pot seasoning color is very pure chili oil color, and because butter is relatively light, it is easy to solidify, so when solidifying, the upper and lower layers are obvious.

The upper layer is butter, the lower layer is spices, and the use of spices are relatively good, the shape is very complete.

Therefore, if we find that the grease of the hotpot seasoning is on the lower layer when we buy the hotpot seasoning, and we cannot see the spices at all, then we may have used something else instead of butter.

This kind of hot pot seasoning is not delicious, and many additives may be added at the same time. Don't buy it.

How to cook hot pot seasoning?

Many people find that even if they buy hot pot seasoning, they can't cook the taste in the store. This is mainly due to not knowing how to cook hot pot seasoning. so how to cook in order to make hot pot seasoning is very delicious?

1, with bone soup

Many people use clear water when cooking hot pot seasoning, but in fact, bone soup should be used to cook hot pot seasoning, which can make the taste of hot pot seasoning more delicious.

2, fried in advance

Many people directly melt the hotpot seasoning in water when cooking the hotpot seasoning, but in fact we should first melt the hotpot seasoning in a frying pan.

Let the hot pot seasoning better blend in the soup, making the cooked dishes more tasty. In addition, when frying the hot pot seasoning, it is best to use butter, which will taste smoother and make the hot pot seasoning more delicious.
