Vegetable Stock/Broth Recipe

Vegetable Stock/Broth Recipe :

Today we are telling you how to make stock in the house. By the way, stock powder or cube comes in the market, which you can prepare the stock by mixing it in water, but if you do not find it in the market then we can make it at home also. And the taste of homemade stock from the fresh vegetables is very good. So if you have time, then make the stock at home, it will double the taste of your Manchurian or soup.

You can use Chinese recipes such as Manchurian or any soup. Stocks are of two types, veg, and non-veg, so if you buy stock cube or powder from the market, see two. Today we are teaching how to make Veg stock. It is very easy to make it. In this, you can add any remaining vegetables in the house. Just keep in mind that there should not be any vegetable that dissolves in water after cooking, because all we need is the taste of the vegetable and not the vegetable in the water. So let's make it.

How to make a veg stock or broth:

Main Ingredients (Mandatory)

Carrot - 1

Ginger - 1-inch piece

Garlic - 7-8 buds

Onion - 1

Black pepper - 8-10

Bay leaves - 2-3

Celery -2-3 cut into large pieces

Water - 6 cups

Salt - 2 tsp

Alternative ingredients (Optional):

Capsicum-1

Cauliflower - 5-6

Green coriander stem - We do not want all the coriander in it, rather you put green coriander leaf in the vegetable and separate its stem and put it in it.

Vegetable                     Spices

Stock/broth preparation method :  

First of all, cut all the vegetables into big pieces and keep them aside. We had capsicum and cauliflower so we are also putting them. You can add whatever vegetables you have, such as cabbage, mushrooms, beans.

Now there are two ways to make stock, you can make it anyway. First of all, take a big steel bowl (non-stick or steel).

1.       The first way is to take water in the steel  bowl and then put all the chopped vegetables in it and let it boil on the gas.

2.       The second way is to first put 1 small spoon of oil in the dog, when the oil gets slightly hot then add ginger, garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper in it. Now roast them all a little (keep in mind that oil should not be very hot and we have to roast ginger garlic slightly). Now add chopped onion, Roast it for 1 minute and put all the chopped vegetables in it, now add a little salt in it and fry them for 5 minutes on high flame. After 5 minutes you will see that the onion has become transparent, now you add water to it. (One advantage of making this method is that you will know how much water to pour). Do not add too much water, you should add water according to the vegetable. We have poured 6 cups of water here.

Boiling Vegetables

Now wait till it comes to a boil when it comes to a boil then turn the gas to medium and then let it boil for at least 30 minutes to 45 minutes without covering it, make sure that you do not cover it.

Turn off the gas after 45 minutes. And now let it cool down when it cools down then filter it. Remember that you do not have to mix it. Sieve it and discard the vegetable. Take your fresh stock ready. You can keep it in the fridge and use it for a week.

Broth/Stock

Note: 

You can keep this stock in the refrigerator for a week and use it. And if you want to keep it for a longer time then you can store it in an ice cube-like ice and then you can use it whenever you want. Whenever needed, take to 2-3 cubes and use them.
