A cooking instruction. アク in cooking means the foam/scum/impurities that rise when boiling or simmering food — a standard term in any recipe. The verb 戻す (to return) is used here for 'put back'. Note the lack of explicit conjunctions between clauses: ~て-form on 戻し links two actions, a very common written/spoken pattern for listing sequential steps.
