Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 826 Dragon Piercing Pork Belly

The others may not be used to it, but Chen Nian has already gotten used to it, and this is what he dealt with every day when he was learning lo-mei from Song San's father.

Already used to it.

And to be honest, there's actually not that much stuff in it.

First, soak it with salt and white vinegar for a while, and remove the intestinal oil inside.

But at this moment the stench was still strong.

It's just that the old age has already prepared a secret recipe to deal with this taste.

Speaking of which, Chen Nian learned about this secret recipe from Zhou Ji. At that time, they talked a lot about cooking during the competition.

Mix white wine, Chinese prickly ash, pepper, green onion and ginger water, and then pour it into the basin containing the large intestine.

"Master, your seasoning water smells weird, and it tastes even weirder after pouring it into the basin."

Chen Nian smiled: "Then what do you smell like?"

Xiaohua shrugged her nose and sniffed a few more times: "I can't describe the smell, sister Hongdou, or you can smell it."

"Okay."

An Hongdou was still sitting outside chatting with them at this time, because they were considered today's judges, and Chen Nian specially asked them to wait outside instead of coming in to watch in order to prevent them from having psychological shadows when they waited to eat.

It's just that An Hongdou doesn't mind these things too much. She also likes to eat fat intestines, and she knows what this organ is for. After hearing this, she came in and smelled it: "This smell is really weird, it's a bit like someone drank too much. It's..."

She didn't say anything later, but Chen Nian already knew what Hongdou wanted to say.

"Normal, normal. After all, there is liquor in it. Although it smells bad now, it will be delicious when it is made."

"Do you need help here?" An Hongdou asked again.

"It's okay, there's nothing to be busy with, just wait outside for a while."

"okay."

But after adding this secret recipe, the large intestine needs to be soaked first, and use this time to age before preparing other ingredients.

Since the dragon wears the tiger's belly, the tiger's belly is ready now, and the dragon, that is, the eel, will be prepared for the next aging.

The eel that brother Liu sent over in the evening is still very good in appearance, and it is also very fresh. It can be seen that it has just been killed not long ago.

But even if it was killed when you bought it, Chen Nian still has to deal with it.

First, it was washed in the water again, and then the fish head was fixed on the chopping board after aging. Then, the eel's stomach was cut open with a knife, and the internal organs were taken out, and then cut into sections about [-] centimeters long with a knife. Running water washes away the blood stains on it.

Remove the spine, large thorns and dorsal fin, and then turn the fish skin down, and change the wheat ear flower knife on the white and tender fish meat.

But the dish of dragon wearing tiger belly is not just a simple process of processing the fish and stuffing it directly into the large intestine.

There are also some side dishes on this dish, but these side dishes are already prepared during the day.

Jinhua ham and pork belly need to be shredded, while shiitake mushrooms need to be cut into very small cubes.

Then put it into a bowl and season with salt, soy sauce, a little monosodium glutamate and a little sugar.

Grab it with your hands and mix it evenly. After the ingredients are starched, directly knead them into long cylindrical strips. At the same time, turn over the fish that has been modified with a flower knife, with the skin facing up, and put the prepared filling Put on the skin of the fish.

"Master, this looks like sushi."

"Well, it looks more similar, and when it's ready, you have to cut it up and eat it."

"Is it eaten directly?"

"You can eat it directly, but if you want to taste better, it's better to eat it with sauce."

"Let me just say, although this fish looks delicious now, I feel a little strange to stuff it into the pig's large intestine."

"It's normal to be weird, as long as it tastes good in the end."

"That's true, but master, how did they invent this dish? When I was working in other restaurants, although I saw some dishes that I hadn't seen before, they didn't add up to us. I see a lot."

"This is the wisdom of the ancients. Combining some things that ordinary people can't think of, and making them delicious, this kind of person is a real master."

While talking, the aging has already rolled up the fish.

The inside is filled with fillings, and the outside is white, and the fish roll that has been modified with a flower knife makes people feel very delicious just by looking at it.

"Of course, if it wasn't for it, it would still be stuffed into the pig's large intestine..." Yu Xiaohua secretly thought.

Finally, Chen Nian took out the large intestine that had just been soaked and simply washed it with water. At this time, there was no smell on it, only some white wine and seasoning, so he washed it in water again.

I just stuffed the freshly rolled fish roll into the large intestine, and finally fixed the two ends of the large intestine with straw ropes to prevent the stuffing from coming out during cooking.

"Master, do you have any skills when doing this? Or what problems might the audience encounter if they do it at home?" Xiao Hua asked again.

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help looking up at the camera: "Look at what you said, who would have nothing to do to make this kind of thing at home."

"What if, what if someone suddenly wants to eat this after watching your video?"

"Perhaps it is possible. In fact, there are not many things to pay attention to when doing this. The main thing is that the large intestine must be cleaned beforehand. Even if I don't use my method, even if I use other methods, I must treat it until there is no peculiar smell in it. OK.

The second is to not stuff the large intestine too full when cooking, otherwise it will easily explode when cooking, and even if the outer skin is not exploded, it will crack, so basically it is almost [-]% full, and leave a little for the inside void.

In addition, after the fish roll is made, it is easy to open it just by leaving it there. At this time, you can take a rope to fix it first, but you must remember to cut off the rope when stuffing it into the large intestine. Otherwise, it will be eaten in the mouth. "

"To achieve this step is basically to pay more attention to these two points." But after talking about aging, something came to mind, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that the large intestine should be made raw, and the fish is also the best Pick the fresh one."

While talking, Chen Nian repeated the previous steps, and made a total of three sticks.

"For the marinade, I use the old marinade in the store. If you have any leftovers from making marinade at home, you can use it directly, but you must remember to drain the dregs in it first. If you don't have it, you can search it on the Internet. A homemade version of the lo-mei recipe would also work.

But if you want this dish to taste better, it is best to use old stew, because the old stew not only has the aroma of seasonings, but also the aroma of meat. "

Chen Nian said while pouring stewed soup into the pot.

"The next step is to cook for four to 10 minutes. Remember to put it in the pot when it is cold, first boil it on high heat and then turn to low heat to maintain it slowly."

After closing the lid, the old age began to prepare other dishes.

After all, so many people were called over today, and my cousin and the others would come over later, so there would be a total of eight people including myself, and it would definitely not be enough to do such a small amount of work.

Considering the time issue, Chen Nian cut some mutton first, and then put it into the pressure cooker after blanching it in water to depressurize it.

Otherwise, put it in a casserole and simmer slowly over a low heat. It will take more than one hour to two hours to stew the mutton.

Then Chen Nian took another crucian carp that had been processed and put it directly into the pan for frying. After frying until golden on both sides, he crushed the whole fish with a shovel.

Then put water in and start to cook, and the soup turned milky white in a short time, which looked very attractive.

Chen Nian intends to make a fresh fish and sheep, but it is a quick way.

With the fish soup simmering slowly over a small fire, Chen Nian started to prepare other dishes again.

All the dishes are carried out at the same time, and the aging does not stop for a moment, and it turns here and there.

And Xiaohua also ran around with the camera, trying not to miss any details.

Although today's protagonist is still a dragon wearing a tiger's belly, Xiaohua still decided to take pictures of these dishes, cut them up and stitch them together when she went back, so that Chen Nian will make ten dishes tonight, and then she will have ten pieces of material .

This is also a little trick Xiao Jing taught her. Anyway, taking one shot is still a shot, and taking ten shots is also a shot. You can simply shoot all of them at once and divide them into individual videos. That way, it will be a little troublesome for you, but divide them first. Classes, and then do it slowly.

In this way, after the dragon belly was cooked, Chen Nian took the cooked ingredients out of the pot. After four to 10 minutes of cooking, the surface of the large intestine had completely expanded, and it looked like it was from a distance. Like a sausage.

But because it is already cooked, there is no need to worry that the ingredients inside will fall out, so Chen Nian untied the rope, wiped off the moisture on it, and hung it directly on the shelf beside it.

At the same time, he took out a small electric fan from under the counter and started blowing on the large intestine.

"If you have the conditions at home, you can put it in a ventilated place to dry naturally, because I invited others to eat today, so I used this quick-drying method."

After turning on the electric fan, Chen Nian explained to the camera again.

At this time, the mutton in the pressure cooker had already been pressed. Chen Nian took them out and put them aside to control the moisture. Then he checked that the fish soup had been cooked until it was thick, so he used a strainer to pour the soup Filter out all the minced fish meat, fish bones and fish bones in the pot, leaving only the fish soup in the pot.

Then put the prepared mutton in, and by the way, add some mutton soup that skimmed off the upper layer of mutton fat.

Continue to cook with the lid on over low heat.

Chen Nian is continuing to prepare other dishes, while explaining the essentials of cooking these dishes.

About 10 minutes later, Chen Nian checked that the large intestines were dry, so he took the large intestines off the shelf and put them in a colander, burned a pot of oil that was about [-]% hot, and began to pour the large intestines non-stop. Pour over the large intestine.

When the skin of the large intestine turned golden, he continued to raise the temperature of the oil to [-]%, and continued to lift it up.

Don't stop until the surface of the large intestine turns reddish brown.

Finally cut it into thin slices.

At this time, Chen Nian asked everyone to come in and have a taste first.

First, he handed the first piece to An Hongdou, and An Hongdou squeezed it with his hands and put it in his mouth.

"It's unexpectedly delicious. The outside of the large intestine is fried and crispy, and there is a crunching sound when you bite into it. The fish meat inside is soft and delicate, and the stuffing, I can't tell what it is made of, but I feel Very fresh and very tasty.”

Miao Miaowu also nodded: "Really, this is unexpectedly delicious. There are fresh, salty, crispy and soft. Both the taste and texture are very rich. Damn, you know, I also make this Now, after you post it online, I can’t post it again.”

As for Xiao Jing and Li Binbin, they didn't have so many compliments, they just kept giving thumbs up and said it was delicious.

Because for their food bloggers, evaluating the quality of a dish is to comment on the color, aroma and ingredients in it one by one, but An Hongdou and Miao Miaowu have already said everything that can be said just now.

What they have to say can only be repeated.

"It's not a finished product yet."

Talking about Chen Nian, he took out a small bottle from the refrigerator and poured it into the plate: "It would be delicious if paired with this salty plum sauce, but wait a moment, I have prepared other dishes, let's eat together later .

"no problem."

Everyone nodded. After all, there are free good things to eat, so what's the point of waiting a little longer?
Chen Nian served other dishes here, while An Hongdou ran to the next door: "My sister is here for supper."

"Okay, let's go right away."

Lu Xiao quickly packed up the work at hand, then locked the store door and followed An Hongdou to the Honghong Hotel.

At this time, Chen Nian had already put all the dishes on the table.

Looking at the sumptuous meals on this big table, everyone was a little confused. Is this a supper or a dinner?

"Whatever, just eat. Although some lesbians are losing weight now, it's not bad for this meal, and even if they want to lose weight, they have to eat a cheat meal. Everyone just treat this meal as a cheat meal. "

As a result, An Hongdou sighed after hearing this: "That's it, I've been losing weight recently, but you always make these delicious food in the past, which made me eat cheat meals every day. Now I There is no way to deceive my conscience."

"Hahaha." These words made everyone laugh.

It was Chen Nian who said even more: "Then lie to him one last time, I will make you a recipe tomorrow, and then you can eat according to this, so that you can lose weight."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Chen Nian patted his chest and said.

"Don't come here, I ate according to the recipe you gave me before, but after eating it for two months, I didn't lose any weight at all. Whose good people have braised pork in their weight loss meals?"

"That's because the braised pork they make is not good. When you come to my place to eat it, the braised pork I cook is different from other people's. It will definitely help you lose weight."

"It's over, it's over, Boss Chen is starting to lie again. Anyway, I have never heard of anyone who cooks braised pork and can lose weight after eating it." Miao Miaowu ruthlessly exposed it.

Chen Nian scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hey, you saw it."
