Generally speaking, chefs and food producers all know an industry rule, that is, food must pay attention to rich nutrition, balanced collocation, and pay attention to color, fragrance and taste. At the same time, we should also consider the unity and coordination of ingredients and materials in modeling, and achieve a beautiful enjoyment on the basis of good color, fragrance and taste.

Take the seasoning ginger mentioned by the subject as an example. Different dishes have different requirements on the shape of ginger. For example, if you want to use it in cooking, you can cut it into shredded ginger, shredded ginger (ginger rice, Jiang Mo) and sliced ginger. Some dishes can also use Jiang Shui to soak ginger in water, or mash ginger into juice, only take ginger juice, and some can directly select the whole peeled ginger. This is China's exquisite cooking style. Different dishes, the same material should correspond to different shapes.

For example, if you are a rice ball, then ginger can be made from ginger juice or Jiang Shui, which is the right choice. It only tastes like ginger, but you can't eat ginger.

For example, hanging soup, you can choose a whole piece of ginger and pat it twice with a knife to make soup.

If you are cooking. If the main ingredients of the dish are all silk or thin strips, Jiang Ye had better cut them into silk for cooking, so as to keep the shape of the finished dish as consistent as possible and make the whole dish look beautiful. Let the diners have an appetite.

And some stews, because the stew time is longer, so it is more appropriate to choose ginger slices.

Some dishes are made of minced meat, so it is more suitable to use ginger rice (Jiang Mo) in Jiang Ye.

In fact, taking ginger as an example, the use of the main seasoning for cooking is also applicable to other main and auxiliary ingredients. Of course, these are all principles, and some of them are not so particular about cooking at home. You can choose the use method of ginger according to your own habits and preferences. The ginger method I mentioned is for your reference only.
