Abstract: It is better to add sugar when cooking. Adding salt to food will cause it to dehydrate and coagulate, so if you add salt and add sugar, it will not dissolve. If you add vinegar first, sugar will not dissolve easily. The vinegar will be sour, but if you add soy sauce or monosodium glutamate, the flavor and flavor will be lost.
In addition to its ability to reconcile tastes and enhance the beauty of the dishes, sugar can also supply the body with abundant calories. Adding sugar in the dish can increase the flavor of the dish; adding sugar in the cured meat can promote collagen protein swelling and make the meat tissue soft and juicy. In other words, sugar can be added before cooking. Salt can cause protein coagulation, so you can cook raw materials rich in protein (such as fish soup). You must not put salt first. It's best to wait until the soup is cooked and put salt on it sooner. But if you fry vegetables, you can put salt early so that the vegetables are cooked quickly. When cooking meat or potatoes, add a small amount of vinegar and it is easy to simmer and taste good. Monosodium glutamate has the best effect at 70°C-90°C, so be sure to put it in a dish after cooking.
If you use a variety of seasonings, there is an emphasis on the order of placement. The most ideal sequence is to put sugar first, then salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and finally MSG. When the food is cooked, put sugar in it first, and when it is about five minutes, add salt, soy sauce, and so on.
This is because salt has a strong effect on the penetration of food. Therefore, if sugar is added prior to sugar, the taste of sugar will not easily enter the food, and the salt has the property of fixing the food structure. Therefore, sugar is added to the food first when cooking. it is good. Adding salt to food will cause it to dehydrate and coagulate, so if you add salt and add sugar, it will not dissolve. If you add vinegar first, sugar will not dissolve easily. The vinegar will be sour, but if you add soy sauce or monosodium glutamate, the flavor and flavor will be lost.
In addition, some dishes need wine, preferably placed in the sugar, can remove the smell and soften the food, soy sauce and monosodium glutamate remain at the end, you can save their unique flavor. Therefore, don't forget to add the seasoning next time: sugar, wine, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and MSG.
