What seasoning is used to make sour soup?

The deliciousness of sour soup is closely related to the proportion.

A bowl of delicious sour soup dumplings, the color of the sour soup is very beautiful, ruddy and shiny, just looking at it will increase your appetite! The taste is sour and spicy, which makes people feel addicted! Sour but not choking! Spicy but not dry! And it is fragrant. It can be said that it is sour and refreshing and appetizing. I won’t feel sick of it even if I eat it for a week!

To achieve the above effects, the proportion of sour soup is crucial! The sour and spicy taste should be highlighted. After many attempts and accumulated experience, I personally recommend a ratio of 3:1 between vinegar and chili oil. In order to make the taste softer, sugar must be added to neutralize it.

Secondly, if you want to highlight the rich salty flavor, the ratio of vinegar and light soy sauce is 3:2. The saltiness is not enough at this time, so you need to add a little salt to mix.

What kind of vinegar is better for making sour soup?

Key points: Choose Shanxi aged vinegar, which is sour, fragrant and long-lasting!

Summary of sour soup production technology:

①Delicious sour soup is inseparable from the standard ingredients, namely onions, garlic, dried shrimps and seaweed.

②The seasoning ratio of sour soup should be appropriate.

③The sour soup made with chicken broth is the best, it is delicious and has a meaty flavor.

Sour soup (homemade version)

You need to prepare these 4 key ingredients, which are the standard ingredients for the sour soup dumpling base and are also indispensable. If one of them is missing, the flavor will be greatly reduced! The 4 main characters are coriander, chopped green onion, dried shrimp, and seaweed.

Other ingredients to prepare are: garlic, sesame seeds, chili powder, table salt, aged vinegar, light soy sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.

Production process:

1. Cutting ingredients

Chop a handful of green onions into chopped green onions, mince 2 cloves of garlic, cut coriander into small sections, and tear seaweed into small pieces for later use.

Key points: You can use a little more chopped green onions, and the ratio of other ingredients should be 1:1.

2. Stimulate fragrance

Put the above chopped ingredients and dried shrimps into a bowl, add one tablespoon of chili powder and half a tablespoon of cooked white sesame seeds for later use.

Heat the pan, pour in appropriate amount of rapeseed oil and sesame oil, raise the oil temperature to 80% hot, which is when it smokes slightly, then pour the hot oil into the bowl of ingredients. As it sizzles, the aroma of all the ingredients will be stimulated. Then stir evenly and set aside. This will become a simple version of red oil.

Key points:

(1) The reason for choosing rapeseed oil is that it has a relatively fragrant taste and a darker color. When mixed with sesame oil, the prepared sour soup has a good color, aroma and flavor.

(2) White sesame seeds must be fried first to become fragrant. The amount of oil poured on the sesame seeds alone is not enough to cook the raw sesame seeds.

(3) Choose the chili powder from Erjingtiao chili pepper. Its advantages have been mentioned in the previous article, so I will not repeat them here.

3. Prepare sour soup

Add chicken soup or bone soup to the bowl of ingredients. If you don’t have any prepared, it’s okay, you can also use other ingredients instead, such as the soup used to cook dumplings. Of course, the taste will be a little worse.

Then add 3 tablespoons of aged vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, half a spoon of sugar, half a spoon of oyster sauce, and a little salt, stir well to make sour soup. After the dumplings are cooked, soak them for a while and then you can eat them.
