Overview

In the hot summer, besides cold drinks, what else can whet your appetite, jelly? Cold noodles? NONONO, crystal elbow! I have been thinking about making crystal elbows for a long time, but I have no choice but to make skin jelly by myself. On Mother's Day, having my mother-in-law at home is a great help! My mother-in-law is a good cook, but she is very Chinese and all the ingredients are said to be in the right amount, so I can't start. This time we worked together to make crystal elbows. I deliberately understood the essence with an open mind, accurately quantified the formula, and strictly controlled the process. Mom plus baby, haha, tradition plus creativity, two swords combined, unparalleled! Let’s serve

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Debone one front elbow. When you buy it, ask the chef to remove the bones, separate the skin and meat, and cut into several strips along the texture of the meat! Add 10 grams of salt, a spoonful of cooking wine, and ginger slices, rub them in to taste, and leave them in the refrigerator for a few hours!

  2. Deal with the pork rinds! This is a delicate job, and the quality of skin jelly is mainly here! First of all, you should buy the kind of pig skin that is thick, hard and gelatinous. The soft pig skin will not freeze! Use a knife to scrape the inside and outside of the raw pig skin, pluck the hair, put it in boiling water and simmer for two minutes, basically ensuring that every part is cooked evenly!

  3. Rinse the cooked pig skin in cold water and use a knife to scrape off the internal grease layer. Be sure to scrape it clean, otherwise the finished product will taste and look very bad!

  4. Look, I'm clean shaven! This is not enough. Next, rub the meat skin with soda ash, then rinse it, repeat several times until the washed water is very clear, refer to the picture!

  5. No matter what, the test is not about knife skills, but about strength! After cutting, you still need to run it through clean water. Oh, by the way, it’s best to use water with a temperature of over 50 degrees. The grease will be removed cleanly. In short, keep as little grease as possible!

  6. Put the pork skin into the cooking pot, add 2500 grams of water, and cook over medium heat for an hour. During the process, skim out the foam in the pot!

  7. About 1500 grams of water has been boiled down. When you see the skin of the meat rising, take a chopstick and put a drop of juice on your fingernails and shake it to keep it still. It is a bit of experience for those with frozen skin. If you like it tough, you can cook it for a while. If you like it tender, stop the fire in time! I am really inexperienced, so I first poured out a small cup and put it in the refrigerator to try. Haha, if it is too tender, continue to boil it, if it is too old, add some water! Live a big noodle mode haha! ! !

  8. Let’s talk about the elbow, it’s delicious! Put it in a pressure cooker and steam it for half an hour to make it as rotten as possible! Take it out and put it in the skin jelly while it's still hot! Then go shopping, sleep, and all kinds of other Mother’s Day stuff! ! Haha
