How to prepare a pork kidney soup./Carlos Pueblo
Pork kidney
soup is one of my favorite dishes and I know very well how
to prepare
it. First, I need to get the material and clean it, secondly I
shall cook
it in about 15 minutes.
Not many people
eat pork kidney for various kinds of reason. I can get
The material
for 99 cents a pound at a Korean Supermarket when it is
on sale.
Since I am so good at it, I shall worm up the hot pan while I am
cleaning the
kidney simultaneously. Usually, I have a small box of 3 kidneys
for one
making of soup. I use a flat butcher’s knife, 3.25x6.75 inches
dimension
and use it to split the kidney into half. It must be horizontal to
the chopping
board. Once split into half, you can see the white color tissue
of kidney
tube which you want to remove it in order to get rid of the urine
smell.
Horizontal again, use the knife to scoop to slice and scoop it out in
one
direction, then you can see blood drop cones out of the remaining
kidney. I
shall put the clean kidney pieces into a clean water bawl. This process
is to clean
the kidney finally. On the surface side of the kidney, I slice several
line on the
surface to help the cooking efficiency of heat transfer.
The hot pan
is ready. A regular Chinese cooking to put slice ginger root and
scallion,
the green onion white part, into the pan with two small tea spoons
of regular
cooking oil and sesame oil for flavor. I flip the kidney once and remove
it from the
hot pan in 30 seconds. The kidney is bloody and is not ready of course.
I add a bawl
of water to the pan and heat it up to boiling and add salt and hontashi
, a kind of
Japanese glutamine.
Once the
water is boiled, dump the half cooked kidney into the pan until the next
Boiling,
then remove the pan out of the ranch. The pork kidney soup is ready. I
pour the hot
soup to a noodle bawl to make a pork kidney noodle.
We Taiwanese
have all kinds of soup on our table, pork kidney soup is one of
them and
still attracts many.
