Turtle Recipe

Clear-boiled turtle soup

There is a saying among the people that "eat carp meat and drink turtle soup", which means that the purpose of eating carp is to eat its meat, while the purpose of eating turtle (commonly known as "turtle") is to drink its soup, because turtle has comprehensive nutrition and is most suitable for making soup, which can play a more tonic role. Therefore, the general way to eat turtle is to make soup.

The basic method of making turtle soup is to take a live turtle from the lake (about 1 kg). Take half a raw chicken (about 200 grams) and a little onion, ginger, and garlic slices as ingredients. Prepare 50 grams of clear soup, 10 grams of cooking wine, 3 grams of refined salt, 2 grams of MSG, 30 grams of peanut oil, 5 grams of sesame oil, and 2 star anise as seasoning.

Chop off the head of the live turtle, drain the blood, wash it, blanch it in boiling water, remove it, scrape off the black skin, boil it in boiling water for about 5 minutes, remove it, open the hard cover, take out the internal organs, chop off the claws, chop the turtle and chicken into cubes, and blanch them in boiling water. Scrape off the dirt and thin skin on the hard cover.

Put peanut oil in a spoon and heat it over high heat. Add onion, ginger, garlic slices and star anise and stir-fry. When the aroma comes out, add clear soup and cooking wine. Add turtle and chicken. Bring to a boil and remove the foam. Switch to medium heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, until the turtle and chicken are cooked through and the soup is milky white. Move to high heat, add salt, MSG and sesame oil, adjust the taste and serve.

Flavor characteristics: The soup is white with a hint of yellow, and is extremely fresh and fragrant.

Required Materials

500g soft-shell turtle, 1000g black-bone chicken, 2g salt, 2g MSG, 2g pepper, 25g cooking wine, 25g ginger, 25g green onion, as appropriate.

Preparation process of stewed turtle with black chicken

1. After killing the turtle and bleeding it, scald it with 70℃ water.

2. Put it in 90℃ water and blanch it.

3. Scrape off the rough skin on the neck, claws and skirt, cut through along the skirt edge, remove the internal organs and rinse clean

4. Remove the claws of the turtle, blanch it in boiling water, wash it thoroughly, wash the black-bone chicken, cut it into pieces, and remove all the blood in boiling water.

5. Wash the pot, add the soup, black chicken, turtle, salt, pepper, ginger, onion, cooking wine, and simmer over low heat until the chicken and turtle are soft.

6. Pick out the ginger and green onion and adjust the seasoning.

Tips:

1. When scalding the turtle, do not use boiling water, otherwise the black film on the turtle will be difficult to scrape off

2. When one of the soft-shelled turtle and the black-bone chicken becomes soft, remove it from the soup first and leave the other one to continue stewing.

3. When it is soft, put the fish out and put it back in. Bring to a boil.

4. The purpose of this is to keep the texture of the two raw materials consistent and the shape intact

5. The amount of soup added should match the amount of raw materials used, and the soup should be added in full at one time, otherwise the soup will not taste good.

2. The price of wild turtle

I bought one for my mother in April. It was freshly caught from the river. The price was 100 yuan. There are basically no real wild ones for sale in the market.

If you want to eat wild ones, you should go to the countryside, visit people who raise fish (not turtles), and ask them if they can catch turtles while fishing.

We sell wild turtles for more than 200 yuan per catty here, but usually they are between 100 and 200 yuan. If you buy them at a higher price, you are being ripped off. In fact, the nutritional value of wild turtles is the same as that of domestic turtles. There are very few wild turtles now. I am from Shandong.

3. I would like to ask a question. My family raises soft-shelled turtles and we want to sell them to Beijing. I wonder how much one pound costs?

Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market, November 27, turtle prices: imitation wild turtle 44-50/catties, farmed turtle 28-35/catties

In the free market in Beijing, it sells for about 30 to 70 yuan per kilogram, but the sales volume is not large. The reason is that ordinary people do not have much demand for this kind of stuff, and most people do not know how to make it. It is best to sell it in more high-end stores, so that there will be sales!

The price in different places and regions is different. Take Qufu as an example: 165.0 yuan/kg

You can go to the market to ask about the price of local land.

4. Price of wild mountain softshell turtle

The mountain softshell turtle is also called the mountain softshell turtle. It is a national second-class protected animal. It cannot be bought or sold, and you will be sentenced.

The aquatic animal is round in shape and is very similar to the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, commonly known as "soft-shelled turtle". The mountain soft-shelled turtle is relatively plump and much larger than the average Chinese soft-shelled turtle, and has many warts on both sides of its head. It is 30-40 cm long, about 23 cm wide, and weighs about 20 kg. It is distributed in Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces in China, with a larger number in western Guangxi. Wild mountain soft-shelled turtles are not widely distributed, grow slowly, and have weak reproductive capacity, resulting in limited production. They are classified as Class II protected animals in China.

Go to the fishery and seafood department to inquire and you will know how much the wild mountain soft-shelled turtle costs.
