The art of cooking is an acquired skill acquired over time; the ability to cook deliciously is a gift. Minced meat - that would seem to be the simplest thing: mix all the ingredients, take the meat as a basis and - here it is, ready. But in order for the minced meat to turn out to be truly tender and tasty and not to spoil the main course, you need to know some cooking rules.
Instructions
Step 1
The most delicious and juicy minced meat is one prepared independently, at home. It is much more natural than one bought in a store, because no one will give you a 100% guarantee of what it contains. If you decide to cook mixed minced meat from two or more types of meat, do not forget about the compatibility of the products. For example, turkey meat will not go well with chicken. And pork goes well with beef. Due to improperly selected ingredients and the wrong proportion, sometimes dry minced meat is obtained. Therefore, follow the exact instructions of your recipe.
Step 2
If the minced chicken is dry, add an egg and a little sour cream to it. Mix well and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
Minced beef will be juicier if you add a little beef broth to it. This is the method used when making hamburgers.
Step 4
To make the minced meat tender and airy, add the egg yolk separated from the protein to it and beat well. This method is especially suitable when preparing minced fish and minced veal.
Step 5
To make the minced meat more juicy, put it in a bag, tie it tightly and beat it on the table for 5-7 minutes. The meat will definitely give juice and reduce the amount of air, which will make it more elastic and tender.
