Thawing Frozen Meat: Add Salt, Vinegar, and Ginger for Fresh-Like Results
Thaw meat, remember not to add water directly, I'll teach you a big trick, just like eating fresh meat. During this period when everyone is 'sitting month,' to reduce going out and adding to the trouble for the country, I bought a lot of frozen meat and some vegetables that are easy to store and can be stored for a long time and put them at home. Most people's approach is the same as mine. This is not only for myself, but also for others. When buying frozen chicken wings, a big brother was also picking frozen meat, picked a lot, and when he paid, he gave the vendor 500+ yuan. I thought this could be eaten for a long time. I also bought 6 catties of chicken wings and left.
Because I bought a lot of supplies during this period, which need to be put in the refrigerator, but the refrigerator capacity is not very large, and also needs to be put with other vegetables and frozen items, so I could only buy so much. When I got home, I would separate these chicken wings into packs of 5 each, and when I wanted to eat, I would take out a pack to thaw. The rest would be stored in the refrigerator. This is a convenient and quick way to do it, which is very nice. But there is one thing that is annoying - these meats need to be thawed, and when thawing, they are all flushed with running water, which feels very wasteful of water and energy, and the meat is even more lacking in freshness. Usually, my friends thaw frozen meat by using the microwave defrost function, or by soaking in hot water, or by soaking in cold water. Microwave defrosting is not easy to use, and it will also thaw the meat too much and become cooked meat. Soaking in hot water and the microwave defrosting function have about the same effect. If you soak in cold water, the thawing time will be long, and the nutrients and texture of the meat will be lost.

Later, I asked my retired uncle, who had been a chef for several years, for advice on how to thaw meat. He told me a trick, which is not only fast for thawing, but also makes the frozen meat taste like fresh meat. Today, I'm going to share this trick with everyone. You can use this trick to thaw common meats like chicken wings, pork, and ribs, and the effect is very good.
The big trick to thaw frozen meat
First, take out the frozen meat you want to thaw, see what its volume is, then use a container of about the same size. I'll demonstrate using frozen chicken wings.
According to the volume of the meat you need to thaw, then take a suitable container and add 5 grams of salt.

Then add a little vinegar.

In the container, add about 40 degrees Celsius warm water, quickly dissolve the salt, then add a few slices of ginger.

Put the chicken wings in the container and soak them. If the water overflows the chicken wings, add more to ensure that the chicken wings are submerged in the water.

This trick can thaw frozen meat and return its freshness. Adding salt and vinegar has the effect of killing bacteria and enhancing flavor. Adding ginger can dispel fishy smell and enhance flavor. These three things together play a crucial role in returning the freshness of thawed meat, so the meat thawed with this method tastes like fresh meat.
Remember to add these 3 things when thawing frozen meat, and the thawed meat will be as fresh as fresh meat. Hello everyone, I'm Glory Food, specializing in sharing about food. If you like this article, please like, comment and share it for me, which is a great reward.
