When cooking pork head stew, choosing the right spices is the key to ensuring that the meat is soft and glutinous, and has a unique flavor. If only three spices are used, red cardamom, fragrant sand and coriander seed will be an excellent choice.
1️⃣ Red cardamom, also known as cardamom, is a spice with a strong aroma. When stewing pork head, red cardamom can exert its unique aroma, making the pork head meat more flavorful, and also has the effect of removing fishy odors. The addition of red cardamom can make the stewed pork head meat exude a faint bean aroma, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
2️⃣ Fragrant sand, also known as sand kernel or shrunken sand honey, is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine and cooking seasoning. When stewing pork head, the aroma of fragrant sand can penetrate into the meat quality, making the meat more soft and glutinous.
3️⃣ Coriander seeds, i.e. seeds of coriander, have a unique and intense aroma. When stewed pork head, the aroma of coriander seeds can be combined with other spices to create a unique flavor. The addition of coriander seeds can not only increase the flavor of the pork head, but also make it more mellow and delicious.
Through reasonable combination and cooking, red cardamom, fragrant sand and coriander seeds can give full play to their unique aroma and efficacy, so that the stewed pork head meat is soft and glutinous, and has a unique flavor. During the cooking process, the amount of spices can be adjusted in the right amount according to personal tastes and preferences to achieve the best taste and flavor.
