Compared with general vegetable oil, the fat of animal oil has an irreplaceable special fragrance, which can increase people's appetite. Especially when matched with radishes, vermicelli and soy products, you can get a delicious taste that is difficult to achieve with other seasonings. Animal oil contains a variety of fatty acids. The content of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids is equal, almost evenly distributed, with certain nutrients, and can provide extremely high calories. Lard is white or yellow-white in color and has the special fragrance of lard, which is very popular among people. Many people think that cooking without lard will not taste good. Lard is easy to make, add a little sugar or salt, stir and seal, it can be stored for a long time without deterioration, it is the first choice for many Chinese dim sums

Ingredients

1000g Pork Suet
0.5 bowl Shimizu
Some Salt

Refined Lard

1. Wash pig suet, cut into small pieces about 2 cm, put in a wok, add a small bowl of water, and bring to a boil

2. After boiling, the liquid is a milky white water and oil mixture. Turn to low heat and simmer slowly

3. The water evaporates slowly during cooking, and the liquid becomes more and more transparent

4. The water completely evaporates, and more and more oil will separate out and become completely transparent. At this time, you can scoop out some of the oil and add a little salt to the oil container.

5. Continue to cook and scoop out more oil

6. Stop cooking until the meat residue becomes golden brown

Tips:
The whole process of boiling lard is done on a small fire, to avoid too much fire, the oil residue will zoom and destroy the taste and composition of the oil. When the oil is low at the beginning, you can stir it to make it evenly heated. Putting some salt or sugar before the lard is solidified can make the storage time longer. After the lard is completely cooled, it becomes a white paste. The boiled oil residue will not be wasted, stir-fry or seasoning fillings are good. Lard not only has nutritional value, but also has many magical uses:
1. Knead a small piece of lard into the dough of steamed buns, and the steamed buns are puffy, white, sweet and delicious

2. When cooking aged rice, add some lard and a little salt to make the cooked rice soft and delicious

3. Wash the iron pan and dry it, and then apply some animal oil and wipe it evenly to prevent rust.
