  • Jiang da Gu Make Tips

    1. The blood is soaked in cold water for a long time instead of blanching it in more time-saving water in order to better maintain the meat flavor. If the method of blanching water is used, because the raw materials are large and large, it will take a long time to remove the blood, which may easily cause loss of meat flavor.
    2. The remaining broth from the sauce bones can be used to make stewed eggs, smoked eggs, braised pork, etc.
    3. Bone marrow contains high amounts of cholesterol and fat, so it is not suitable for people with high blood pressure and obesity.
