Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of food condiments, and particularly relates to a beef tallow hot pot base for arbitrary use and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The beef tallow hot pot base is a composite condiment for making spicy hot pot, which generally uses beef tallow or refined beef tallow as a base and adds various spices and condiments for boiling. The content of beef tallow in the final product can account for more than 70%. The beef tallow hot pot base can give food special aroma and thick and heavy body, so it can be used not only for making hot pot but also for cooking Sichuan dishes, thick soup and stuffing.

[0003] Since the melting point of beef tallow is relatively high, it is in solid form at room temperature. Therefore, the whole solidified beef tallow hot pot base is often packaged in a packaging bag by vacuum packaging or directly filled into a packaging bag in a hot melt state and then cooled and solidified after packaging. The packaging bag is generally made of PET or other materials, which can effectively prevent oil leakage, product moisture absorption and oxidation deterioration. When making hot pot, people tear open the packaging bag and directly pour the contents into the pot. However, unlike hot pot making, a relatively small amount of beef tallow hot pot base is used for cooking dishes. The whole solidified beef tallow hot pot base cannot be used at one time. This often leads to a series of inconvenient situations: 1) The beef tallow hot pot base is in solid form at room temperature and cannot be taken by pouring, squeezing, etc. It is relatively hard at low external temperature and difficult to be taken as needed by spoon or knife; 2) The hot pot base is often placed in an open condition if it cannot be used at one time because the packaging material has good oil resistance and strong barrier property. Since the main body of the beef tallow hot pot base is animal fat and has a high salt content, it is prone to rancidity, moisture absorption and other problems, affecting subsequent use; 3) The whole beef tallow hot pot base is difficult to be conveniently filled into a bottle and is not easy to store.

[0004] The currently widely used technical solutions can solve the above problems to some extent, but there are still many unsatisfactory places: 1) The spicy hot pot base using plant oil or mixed base of plant oil and animal oil can meet the requirements of flowability and extrudability of cooking products, but the flavor is relatively simple compared with pure beef tallow hot pot base, and it is often difficult to solve the problems of product uniformity and stability; 2) The small-packaged block-shaped hot pot base can improve the problem of difficult storage of hot pot base and deterioration after long storage, but it is still very inconvenient for the scene of taking a small amount for daily cooking. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing commercially available beef tallow hot pot base is difficult to be taken in small amounts.

[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: a preparation method of a beef oil hot pot base material for arbitrary use, comprising the following steps:
