Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 579

While drinking hot tea, the three of them were blowing the autumn wind from the northwest, watching the sun gradually begin to move westward, and the setting sun dyed the distant clouds into bright yellow.

The first dish to be served was a hot and cold platter, beef in five-spice sauce.

Cut the raw donkey meat into large pieces, put it in a pot, add enough water until it is submerged, and then soak the donkey meat with your hands to remove the blood in the donkey meat and reduce the fishy smell in the donkey meat .

Take out the donkey meat and pour out the blood water until the water in the steamer turns blood red. Put the donkey meat back into the pot and add water to soak it. Change the water according to the degree of discoloration of the water. The water will not seriously change the color of the donkey meat.

The donkey meat that has completely removed the blood can be marinated: add green onions, ginger, pepper, salt, light soy sauce, and rice wine, and mix well with your hands. During the process, you can rub and squeeze the donkey meat with your hands to make the donkey meat more Taste, the marinating process takes at least three hours.

After marinating, take out the donkey meat, pick up the onion and ginger and pour out the remaining blood, put the steamer in the pot, put the donkey meat on top, add cold water to cover the meat, boil it over high heat, and skim off the remaining blood. Froth, add onion and ginger when marinating donkey meat, as well as appropriate amount of soy sauce, rock sugar, salt, soybean paste and sweet noodle sauce, and a five-spice stewed meat bun made of various spices to keep the donkey meat moist Boil and simmer for an hour on low heat, then turn off the heat and simmer for three hours, take out the donkey meat and tear it into a suitable size, then put it on a plate and serve it on the table.

As for the cold dish, it is cut into thin slices and placed on a plate after cooling.

A dinner plate with a large face plate was filled with donkey meat in a circular shape, especially the hot part. The overflowing meat aroma was poured into the noses of several people along with the cool wind, and the hot aroma rose and warmed.

Except for the green leafy vegetables in the middle, the whole plate is full of donkey meat.

"Come on, while it's hot!" Liu Mo picked up the chopsticks and remembered what Li Xiao said at the beginning, paused, and then urged Li Xiao.

"Then let's start now!" Li Xiao picked up a few pieces of hot and cold sauced donkey meat with chopsticks and put them on his own plate. He greeted the two of them to eat, and then turned his attention back to himself. on donkey meat.

"It may not be real enough to look at from the camera, let me describe the state of this hot donkey meat."

Because the freshly cooked donkey meat is unlikely to be cut into small enough pieces, so when it comes up, several people are prepared with disposable gloves to grasp and eat.

After Li Xiao put on his gloves, he picked up a piece of donkey meat and began to tear it under the camera.

Under Li Xiao's movements, the texture of the fat donkey meat was torn apart layer by layer, and the stewed soup and fat were squeezed out, trickling down onto the dinner plate.

"This donkey meat is almost full of miso soup, and it is full of meaty fragrance when you grab it."

Li Xiao controlled himself not to lick the gloves as much as possible, and put the torn donkey meat into his mouth.

"The moment you enter the mouth, there is the aroma of the bottom material bursting, and then there is the donkey meat with a delicious sauce soup."

"Two-point skin, eight-point soft and delicious donkey meat, the taste is also full of tenderness and full elasticity."

Because the tearing was more casual, and because the taste of donkey meat was so addictive, Li Xiao actually finished most of the hot donkey meat on the dinner plate in two or three mouthfuls.

He put down his gloves, and decided to eat slowly in order not to let the donkey meat on the cold plate and the hot plate interfere with each other.

Li Xiao picked up his teacup and sipped the luscious tea.

"Brother, why don't you continue to eat? Doesn't it suit your appetite?" Liu Mo was puzzled when he saw Li Xiao's stop motion while eating oily mouth, "Even if you eat less, we will still share the meal later It's expensive."

"I was surprised because the donkey meat was so delicious." Li Xiao put down the teacup half-jokingly, savoring the fragrance of the tea.

He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a thin slice of donkey meat in cold cut sauce.

Compared with the "fat and oily" hot dish just now, this piece of cold dish can be said to be almost incomparable to the meat just now.

Speaking of the aroma, the hot sauced donkey meat captured the noses of several people instantly. The taste of this cold dish can only be said to be a weakened version of hot donkey meat. If you don’t smell it carefully, it will easily be covered by the hot dish. past.

In terms of appearance, this cold and inflexible meat slice gives people the illusion of eating snacks.

"Let's try the cold dish again." Li Xiao's nose moved closer to this piece of meat, probably because the hot dish was too strong, so he took a few more breaths, but still didn't smell the particularly prominent place.

Put the sauced donkey meat on the chopsticks into his own mouth, it is also salty and fragrant, the difference is that the tendons of this piece of meat are completely different from the hot donkey meat.

It can't be said that his teeth are elastic, Li Xiao can only say that he is almost eating a "spring".

The same parts, almost completely different flavors.

"A very chewy cold dish." Li Xiao chewed and commented, and the expression on his face began to "strengthen": "I don't know what kind of processing method was used, it can be said that there is an illusion that it can't be chewed. .”

"And in the skin part, there is even a crunchy feeling similar to that after being fried."

"It's hard to believe that it's all sauced donkey meat, but because of the difference in temperature, there are two completely different styles."

"The hot sauced donkey meat tastes like a hospitable beauty, and the plump and flexible limbs are full of seductive beauty."

"And the sauced donkey meat served as a cold appetizer tastes like an ice beauty, who loves to answer you but has a damn charm. The more you taste it, the better it is. You can't stop it."

"The donkey meat is made from donkey tendons that are full of tendons, and the taste can be said to be almost any kind of meat that has been eaten before."

"Before I tried and tasted the deliciousness of donkey meat in Ganzhou, but today's meal can be said to be delicious on a different level."

"If the sauced donkey meat before was an entry level, then the one I ate today can be said to be a nightmare or even a hell level."

"It refers to the degree of deliciousness."

"If this hot and cold dish is served one after the other, the progression and level of taste may be more distinct, but it is still very creative and full of personality when served at the same time. I can give it 95 points!"

Studio:
"Are you serious about the level of oil?"

"I only care about watching the anchor's teeth fighting with cold cuts! It looks so funny!"

"Have you noticed that the eating scenes of the two brothers on the background board are really unflattering!"

"I don't doubt that the host is taking money from the store anymore, I suspect that the two brothers took money from the store for advertising (doge)"

"Upstairs, you didn't hear what they said just now that you don't take orders easily."

"Although the chef of this restaurant looks proud, it still seems worthy of pride."

"I feel like a stubborn little old man in terms of appearance and temperament!"

"Upstairs is a bit disrespectful to the elderly!"

"I hope that person upstairs will take back that sentence. After all, if nothing else is said, older people still need to be more respectful."

······
There is no person on the table to refill the rice, but there is a steaming rice cooker on the next table where things are placed, and there is a sign next to it telling people that they can serve their own rice.

"Speaking of which, according to the name on this menu, there will be a donkey meat spring roll later, I don't know what it tastes like." After eating the sauced donkey meat on the table, the Liu brothers had a moment to speak, while He took off his gloves and began to mutter, "The sauced donkey meat is excellent for drinking and eating, and it tastes delicious even if it is eaten dry. It should be said that it is indeed a chef who retired from a high-end hotel."

Liu Min nodded, looking as if he still had something to say.

Several people ate appetizingly, looking forward to the next donkey meat yellow noodles.

Not long after, another item was presented.

The waiter carried a large dinner plate with three large bowls on it, and distributed them to several people one by one.

Li Xiao looked down and saw that in the bowl as big as his face were noodles mixed with shiitake mushrooms and minced donkey meat.

The orange-yellow noodles are thick and thin, accompanied by the aroma of shiitake mushrooms and donkey meat, as well as a strong alkaline taste.

"Looking at the noodles, there seems to be nothing special."

Not only is it nothing special, it's even a little monotonous.

Serving such a bowl of noodles after eating pure donkey meat in sauce, I have to say that it makes people feel like they are suddenly served light side dishes after eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

"It's not over yet." Liu Min looked at the waiter without moving his hands.

"Yes, there are quite a lot of yellow noodles with donkey meat, so they have to be served twice." The waiter replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, another waiter brother came to the table with a bigger plate.

First, a bowl of bright red chili vinegar water was placed in front of the three of them, and then three stacks of reddish-brown donkey meat were placed. After putting these down, he nodded to the three of them: "Gentlemen, this is yellow noodles with donkey meat. If you need any flavors, you can also come up with them.”

"Is there any spicy oil?" Li Xiao asked.

"Yes." The waiter responded and went back to get it.

"Let's eat first, first." Liu Mo picked up the chopsticks, with a look of impatience, "Although the yellow noodles with donkey meat don't look as amazing as the pure meat just now, the staple food can't be disappointed!"

After greeting, Liu Mo started eating directly.

Li Xiao took his time, first put the camera on the yellow noodles, let the audience appreciate the yellow noodles with donkey meat, and then started to comment.

"The yellow noodles give people a strong alkaline taste of handmade noodles. The donkey meat should be a different part from before. It may be to distinguish the taste."

Compared with ordinary noodles, the main difference between donkey meat yellow noodles lies in the scorpion inside.

Take out a part of donkey meat with special sauce and cut it into slices for later dipping in the juice, then set aside some and cut it into minced pieces, then prepare minced tofu and shiitake mushrooms.

Put oil in a hot pan, add shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry until fragrant, then add donkey meat and stir-fry, then add water and tofu, add salt, oil consumption, and dark soy sauce for seasoning, turn to medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the color of simmered seeds turns Dark colors are fine.

Experienced chefs can make curry dumplings, but most people need to use the method of adding starch to make thick dumplings. Is this method good? One of the disadvantages is that it is easy to cook the dumplings themselves. The taste is covered, resulting in the loss of its own deliciousness.

One advantage of using starch is that it is easy to thicken, and there is no need to worry too much about the burnt taste caused by overcooking the saozi.But in any case, the ability to make a mellow and thick saozi without borrowing starch by relying on one's own control over the heat can be said to be the pinnacle of skill.

After the saozi is ready, put the hand-pulled noodles into a pot of clean water, add a little salt and cook until cooked. Add the prepared saozi when serving, mix half and keep half.

As for chili vinegar water, it is made by adding vinegar to chopped chili, and then adding minced green onion and garlic.

"First, let's try how the individual yellow noodles taste like." Li Xiao picked up a few in the bowl with chopsticks. The chopsticks were broken.

Because it has been fully stirred with shiitake mushrooms, it is just this ordinary yellow noodles that also has a strong aroma of donkey meat and shiitake mushrooms.

"Noodles taste more chewy, and the content of edible alkali is just right, so you won't feel that stuffy feeling after eating." Li Xiao licked the noodles in his mouth, leaving a smear of saozi sauce at the corner of his mouth trace.

He licked the sauce off the corner of his mouth and nodded in satisfaction.

"Try it with sauced donkey meat."

He aimed the chopsticks at Xiaodie, which was placed next to his bowl. Although it was called Xiaodie, it was actually "small" because it was compared with the big bowl, and it was actually as big as Li Xiao's slap.

The sauced donkey meat on top is warm, and after picking it up with chopsticks, it is obvious that it shakes very elastically twice.

"It is said that the more authentic taste is eaten with this chili vinegar water. Let's go to the countryside and try it out."

As soon as the sauced donkey meat is dipped into the chili vinegar water, the original color of the meat instantly turns orange red, and it is also stained with rich minced ginger and garlic, which is full of ingredients.

The sauced donkey meat soaked in chili vinegar water gave Li Xiao an indescribable smell, almost completely changing the taste.

He tentatively licked the chili vinegar water on top before biting down.

The strong sourness of mature vinegar combined with the spiciness of dried chili, and the pungentness and unique fresh aroma of fresh ginger and garlic, combined with the donkey meat in sauce, exploded in Li Xiao's mouth.

"I don't know how to describe this shock..." The tip of Li Xiao's tongue became numb due to the taste, "It's very strong."

"The sourness and spicyness are both extreme, and the two flavors compete in the mouth evenly, but they will not cover up the tender and smooth meaty aroma of donkey meat."

"It should be said that it is indeed the dragon meat in the sky, and the donkey meat on the ground."

"Even with such a strong dipping sauce, it can maintain its own flavor in it."

"This dipping sauce is not an ordinary thing that can be matched casually. If the ingredients are not fresh enough or the processing method is poor, they can't compete with such an overbearing taste."
