Spices:
The compatibility of spices can be divided into monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy. Simply put, one spice has the most prominent flavor and requires the largest amount, while others are auxiliary, such as enhancing fragrance, removing fishy smell, and relieving greasiness.



There are two types of fragrance: light fragrance and bitter fragrance. Just like a dynasty, there is only one monarch and emperor, who has the greatest power. Ministers, assistants, and envoys are indispensable and all serve the monarch. According to different regions, for example, if you want to highlight the flavor of star anise, its dosage should be the first, but it cannot be separated from the theme. It should be based on the traditional Chinese five fragrances, and never deviate from its essence.
The purpose of fragrance adjustment:
The traditional five fragrances in China are: star anise, cinnamon, fennel, Sichuan pepper, and clove.
 
It depends on the variety of meat used externally. For example, in the production of chicken products, Bai Zhi has the highest usage, with some occupying the first place, which is the king, and the second place cannot be less than the top three; Cinnamon is also among the top three.
 
Let's talk about the composition of intermediate energy, such as fresh nutmeg, boneless grass carp, flavorful fennel, fragrant tangerine peel, deodorized Sichuan peppercorns, etc. The final energy is sand kernels and cloves.
 
Sand kernels have a bone penetrating effect, as they can infuse the flavors of other spices we prepare into the meat and even the bone marrow. However, there are too many fake sand kernels on the market, so it is important to recognize them and buy from reputable traditional stores. The aftertaste of cloves is too strong to be used excessively.
 
Of course, there are also friends of Xinyi, who are the last resort. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Xinyi is not for money, which shows that the usage is very small.
