Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 773
While chatting, a middle-aged waitress came up with a plate of dishes. These are extra side dishes, which can be regarded as appetizers before the meal.

"Give way, your little crispy meat is here, please use it slowly." The middle-aged waitress reminded very politely.

Small crispy meat, a must-order side dish before a barbecue hot pot meal, is a well-known dish, and whether a restaurant’s barbecue is good or not has a certain connection with the quality of this dish.

At first glance, this plate of crispy meat is fried golden, and the shell of each piece of crispy meat is fried golden with a little burnt color, which is the characteristic of small crispy meat.

This shows that the paste of the small crispy meat is perfect, so it can be fried in this color.

Li Xiao was not polite, and directly picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the salt and pepper that came with it, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and immediately a smell of oil exploded in his mouth.

The shell of the crispy meat is fried very crispy, and it is chewy and chewy.

Through the shell, it is the soft and tender meat strips inside the crispy meat. Before the paste, the meat strips are marinated with other things. Feel.

"This little crispy meat tastes good, you guys have a taste."

Li Xiao picked up another one and put it in his mouth, then looked at the live broadcast room.

"Brothers, I have to say that the appetizers in this barbecue restaurant are good. The crispy pork is fried to a certain level. It is burnt but not old. It can be regarded as a qualified small crispy pork."

The small crispy meat is full of color, flavor and taste, and any skill is reflected in the final "frying". Only by controlling the oil temperature can a good small crispy meat be fried.

Li Xiao ate small crispy meat once before. Although it was fried golden on the outside, it looked very appetizing, but the meat strips inside were not fried through at all, and it tasted raw. This is a typical example of not controlling the oil well. temperature.

And the crispy pork in this barbecue shop is very good, the outside is golden and burnt, and the meat strips inside are also fried thoroughly. During the frying process, all the bottom flavor inside the meat strips is released.

It forms an internal and external echo with the paste wrapped on the outside. Even if it has been out of the pan for a long time, this little crispy meat still has a taste.

Li Xiao ate several crispy pork strips in a row, with endless aftertaste, and quickly said to the fans in the live broadcast room.

"Brothers, judging from the taste of this plate of crispy meat, this is a qualified appetizer, which makes me look forward to the next barbecue even more."

"I have to say that the taste of this store is really good."

Some viewers in the live broadcast room saw that Li Xiao ate even crispy pork strips with such relish, which instantly seduced the taste buds of many fans and viewers, and hurriedly had a supper at home.

Of course, some fans who were watching the live broadcast were very interested in this plate of crispy meat, and quickly posted a barrage in the live broadcast room, asking Li Xiao to teach the cooking method of the little crispy meat.

Now that the main course has not been served, Li Xiao naturally wanted to satisfy the fans' request, so he said hastily.

"Do you want to learn how to make small crispy meat? Okay, since you all want to learn, then I will teach you."

After speaking, Li Xiao picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks and placed it in front of the camera, completely showing the overall appearance of the little crispy meat.

"If you want to make a delicious little crispy pork, the oil temperature is the key, and another key factor is the ingredients themselves. To make a little crispy pork, the tenderloin is the most tender part of the pig. It is the most suitable for this dish."

"The second is the batter on the outside. The ratio is very important. If the batter is too thick and the oil temperature is not enough, the meat strips inside will not be deep-fried and will appear raw, so the crispy meat will be considered a failure."

"Don't underestimate the paste on the outside, there is still a way to hang it on. Ordinary paste can play the same role, but the finished product is not so good-looking, and the taste will be different."

"I'll post the paste ratio formula on the public screen later. If you want to learn, you can try it. The crispy meat fried in this way is not delicious. You can come to the live broadcast room to diss me."

After talking a few words, a middle-aged waitress walked over dangling on a large iron plate. As soon as he approached, Li Xiao smelled a strong fragrance and a sharp spicy smell.

"Your food is ready, please use it slowly."

Li Xiao glanced at the big iron plate, which was filled with the dishes they ordered earlier. Each dish was grilled over charcoal fire, with a very strong aroma, and a layer of bright red chili sauce was poured on it, which looked very appetizing.

"It's very spicy." The female fan coughed a little, her eyes were red, and tears flowed from time to time.

Apparently, the peppers used for barbecue are very spicy, and just smelling them makes people feel overwhelmed.

No matter how hot the chili is, Li Xiao has eaten it before. To him, this hot chili is just an appetizer.

He picked up a roasted baby dish dipped in chili sauce, first smelled it with his nose, a rosy color appeared on his face immediately, and some sweat dripped from his forehead.

Then he presented baby dishes in front of the live broadcast room, and said, "Brothers, this is the hottest barbecue in Chongqing. Looking at the chili sauce on it, you can tell that this barbecue restaurant is not simple."

Li Xiao took a sip, and found that the baby food tasted very good. It was roasted until it was half-ripe, and it tasted crunchy. The juice itself was a little shriveled under the charcoal fire, and it even smelled burnt.

The top layer of chili sauce is made of fresh chopped chili sauce, which can taste raw and full of spiciness, directly stimulating the taste buds.

I have to say that this is the first time Li Xiao has seen this kind of barbecue. The ingredients themselves have barbecue ingredients, and when they are finally baked together, they are poured with chili sauce on the whole. This spicy sauce is seasoned.

When eating, it has the taste of its own ingredients, and then it is mixed with the taste of fresh chili sauce. There is a balance between cooked and raw, which is a new experience.

The male anchor and female fans at the side saw Li Xiao make a gesture, took a deep breath, and then each picked up a bunch and ate them.

As soon as he took a bite, the male anchor put the skewers into a bowl and took a big gulp of ice water before he stabilized.

"Isn't this too spicy?" The male anchor took another sip of ice water.

The female fan's tolerance to spicy food is obviously better. After eating the whole skewer, her face is just a little more rosy and sweaty, which is not so exaggerated.

Seeing this, the fans in the live broadcast room of the male anchor immediately posted barrage in the live broadcast room.

"666, we anchors don't seem to be able to eat spicy food, so we can't do it after just one bite? Look at the girl next to me, she didn't say a word after eating. Isn't this embarrassing for our male compatriots?"

"Haha, the host is so embarrassed that he actually stayed with the two spicy kings. If this kills the whole set, wouldn't he go directly to the anorectal department tomorrow?"

"Don't tell me, are the peppers in this barbecue restaurant really so spicy? Why don't I believe it? If it doesn't work, I will try it when I have time. I, the spicy king, will not be convinced."

"Would you like to order it? You probably won't be able to digest this plate." Li Xiao said with concern.

He can still accept the spiciness of this chili, and he probably can digest it by himself if he eats the whole plate, but the other two probably don't have such a good tolerance, and he might really have an accident after eating it.

Before the two could respond, Li Xiao called the waiter directly.

"That plate of barbecue is too spicy. The two of them order a new plate. Can you leave out the spicy chili? They may not be able to eat it."

When the waitress heard this, she showed a simple and honest smile, and said, "You are not from Chongqing, are you? So you can't eat spicy food? The customers who come to our store come here for this chili pepper, why don't you try it again? "

When the male anchor heard the words, his face was quickly defeated, he moved his body backwards, and said quickly: "No, this thing is too spicy, I can't stand it, I'm afraid I will go to the hospital later."

The customer is God. Since God has a demand, the waiter will naturally satisfy it and let the two place an order again.

After a while, a plate of barbecue without chili sauce was served, and the color was obviously much better than the previous plate.

The male anchor grabbed a skewer and ate it, it was pure barbecue flavor, the spiciness was just right, and his complexion eased a lot.

Li Xiao continued to start his live broadcast. It was really too much for him to destroy such a large plate of skewers by himself.

He scooped up the fried insects from the skewers, put them in front of the camera in the live broadcast room, and said slowly, "Brothers, let's taste what these grilled insects taste like now."

"The skewer I'm eating now is fried grasshopper. The sales are very good. Almost everyone who comes here to eat barbecue will order a few skewers. It should be the signature dish here."

"I've eaten fried insects, but I've never eaten this grilled one. Let's have a taste."

After taking a bite, a spicy taste rushed in, and after chewing a few times, a stream of juice splashed from the grasshopper's body, and a faint fragrance spread in the mouth.

In terms of taste, the outside is a bit crispy, and the inside is very juicy, and it has not become shriveled under the charcoal fire. Finally, it is served with hot sauce to form a unique taste.

Fried insects use the high temperature of the oil to quickly lock the moisture of the insects, and then fry them repeatedly to make the outer surface crispy, so that they can be "squeaky" when eaten.

However, there are still some differences between grilled insects and fried insects. The appearance has a burnt aroma of charcoal fire, and the inner juice is also very rich, so that the taste will not be too bad, and it will be very tasty.

After eating several grasshoppers in a row, Li Xiao nodded repeatedly and began to taste them.

"The taste of this grilled grasshopper is really good, and it is very delicious. Some of the fishy smell of the insect itself has been dissipated under the charcoal fire, but it retains the fragrance of the ingredients themselves, so it does not feel like eating. Discomfort."

"What surprised me the most was the chili on it, coupled with the fragrance of the grasshopper itself, it formed a unique taste directly in the mouth, which was irresistible."

After the tasting, fans in the live broadcast room began to speak enthusiastically.

"The grasshopper is so cute, how can you eat it? It's just a child."

"Upstairs, can you stop being so disgusting? Everyone is eating supper, you want us to vomit on you, don't you?"

"Is the roasted grasshopper really so delicious? I roasted it at home before, and I could smell a burnt smell. It smells bad."

"You're not roasting grasshoppers, you're roasting grasshoppers. You should be particular about roasting grasshoppers, okay? Otherwise, anyone can roast them? Do you think it's deep-fried?"

"I agree with the statement above, anchor, please tell us, what's so special about this roasted grasshopper. For those who want to eat insects but can't roast them, this is simply a great pain."

"I said, why are you anxious for the people upstairs? You wait until the anchor finishes eating, how can you pass on your experience to us if you don't finish eating?"

"Be quiet and quiet. Those who want to study quickly take out their notebooks and take notes. This kind of opportunity is only once."

Li Xiao ate the remaining roasted grasshopper in a few strokes. If he could give a score, he would probably give this roasted grasshopper nine points, and not give one point to prevent the store from being proud.

After wiping his mouth clean, he looked towards the live broadcast room and said slowly, "The roasted insects are different from fried insects. In the latter, we can easily fry delicious insects as long as we control the oil temperature."

"But barbecue is different. The heat is one key, and knowing the heat is another key."

"Because the size of the insect itself is only so large, it is impossible for it to be carefully processed like other ingredients, and it can be directly skewered and roasted on the fire."

"Once the heat is not controlled properly, the ingredients themselves will be burnt, and the fishy smell cannot be removed well, so the taste will not be very good."

"When you are roasting, you must use charcoal fire to roast slowly. It is almost the same until the insects come out of the water slightly. The time should not be too long or too short. It needs to be adjusted according to the degree of heating of the ingredients. Insects taste good,"

Speaking of this, some fans have new doubts.

"Anchor, if you say this, does it mean that all insects are roasted like this? Or as long as the juice inside is roasted, it is considered cooked?"

"Should I brush the insects with oil? Will this prevent the ingredients from being burnt?"

Li Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "The roasted insects don't need to be oiled, they just need to be roasted slowly at high temperature. The insects themselves also contain oil, and during the roasting process, some of the juice of the insects themselves will be absorbed. The fat is brought out, so that the ingredients themselves will be dry and fragrant."

"If you brush the oil during the roasting process, it will prevent the insect's own oil from being taken out, so that it will accumulate, and it will have an oily smell when eaten."

The two people on the side were dumbfounded when they heard Li Xiao's explanation.

What is a profession?This is called professionalism.

As an outdoor anchor, the male anchor will often watch other anchors, especially for eating and broadcasting.

But this is the first time he has seen a powerful anchor like Li Xiao. Just a roasted insect can tell so many reasons. The strength is really strong. No wonder a food broadcaster has so many fans.

It seems that checking in with him this time is the right choice!
