Chapter 285 Fried water spinach with ham oil, delicious!Brother Lin, can you cook steam pot chicken? 【Subscribe】

"Wow, this mooncake is really delicious!"

"I have no resistance to this kind of salty and sweet food."

"Me too, I love it!"

"Yueyue, why don't you eat it? Don't you like the taste?"

On the second floor, on the deck at the entrance of the kitchen.

Everyone's flower ham mooncake party is still going on.

After Chen Yan finished eating one, she was just about to pick up the next one, when she suddenly found that her cousin didn't eat it, and even shared the previous one with Lin Xu.

what's the situation?
Such a delicious mooncake was so restrained that I didn't eat it.

This is……

Chen Yan pushed the non-existent glasses on the bridge of her nose, imitating Conan's tone and said:
"There is only one truth, and that is that there are more delicious ones to come!"

Reminiscent of my brother-in-law making mapo tofu without tofu at noon today, my cousin must be waiting for this dish. Since she is waiting, I will wait too.

I have already promised to help my brother-in-law check, so I have to do what I say.

When they heard that there was still food to eat, the others didn't eat any more, for fear that they would eat less after dinner. In that case, it would be worse than losing [-] million yuan.

Not long after, Lin Xu came out with a small pot of prepared Mapo Chicken Cake:
"Whoever eats more mooncakes today will regret it, because mooncakes can be eaten every day in the future, but I don't have much time to cook this dish."

Hearing this, the others showed such expressions as expected.

Bet right, there are better dishes.

Che Zai put a pot of rice on the table, and then brought bowls and chopsticks.

Everyone sees that the food is all ready, so what are you waiting for?
Began to eat!
Everyone gathered around the table and began to serve rice. Shu Yun finished eating the mooncakes in his hands, and came to Lin Xu and whispered:

"Boss, Tiantian wants Moringa seeds, I gave her a small handful just now."

Moringa seeds are nothing, but this matter needs to be reported. After all, it belongs to the boss. If you take it without warning, it is the same as stealing it.

When Lin Xu heard this, he smiled indifferently:

"Give it, just give it, a lot less? Do you need to grab more?"

I can't use this stuff myself, so I can give it to Tiantian if she wants it, this kind of strong waist... wait, she is a big girl who is not married and has no relationship, what does she want to strengthen her waist and nourish her kidneys?
Does the athlete's body also need supplements?
But this thing nourishes men, and it is different from yam and other ingredients that men and women can nourish.

Shu Yun didn't have the nerve to mention Wei Gan, but said:

"Give her what a friend wants, and say that friend is weak and needs to be replenished."

Lin Xu smiled:
"If she thinks it's not enough, you can give some more. If she thinks it's enough, when my senior brother and my father-in-law come, give them those Moringa seeds, and hide."

"Okay boss, I see."

It's okay to give the senior brother Moringa seeds, after all, everyone knows the brother's hypocrisy.

But giving Moringa seeds to my father-in-law always feels inappropriate.

The old man loves face so much, if he has the mentality of "Why, you look down on our fierce old Shen, don't you?", it will be self-defeating.

It's better to hide it.

In this way, everyone is tacit, and it seems very tacit.

"Wow, what kind of ingredients is this? Isn't it too tender?"

"At first I thought it was tofu, but when I bit into it, it tasted like chicken, fresh and tender."

"No wonder my family Xu Bao said that the fresh flower ham mooncakes are not a surprise, and it really didn't happen in vain!"

"At noon, my brother-in-law said that he would make a mapo tofu without tofu, and he really made it. To celebrate this delicious dish, I plan to show you a three-bite-a-bowl of rice. Do you want to see it?"

"Tch, you just want to eat more rice!"

Chen Yan, who was ruthlessly dismantled by Zeng Xiaoqi, was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled and scooped up the chicken cake in the bowl, mixed it into the rice, and then pulled it into her mouth.

Comfortable!

To eat rice, you have to shove it into your mouth to enjoy it!
The only regret is that I shouldn't eat so many "tomatoes" this afternoon, so I can only eat two bowls of rice at most today.

If there is no such lo mei, it is still very easy to eat three bowls of rice.

After Shu Yun reported to Lin Xu, he also sat down with a bowl of rice and ate it with a spoon:

"The ingredients here are chicken cakes, which are made by pounding chicken breasts into meat paste, then mixing them with egg white and starch water, steaming them in a pan to form rice cakes, and then carefully cutting them into pieces. It is very difficult, everyone Eat and cherish."

Such a labor-intensive dish, I may not know when I will try it next time.

So you must eat more today.

Chen Yan said with a smile:

"It's okay, next time I want to eat, let Yue Yue tell my brother-in-law. If we want to eat, brother-in-law doesn't have to do it, but if Yue Yue wants to eat, then definitely..."

When Shen Jiayue heard that the method was so troublesome, she immediately said:

"It's too hard to make this dish, I don't want to eat it, Yan Bao, if you want to eat it, let your boyfriend do it."

Chen Yan:? ? ? ? ? ?

You love your man so much, why do you have to stab me in the heart?

If so, I'll call the police!

well!Suddenly I miss my boyfriend whom I have never met.

I don't know if he is doing well now, what he is busy with, whether he has eaten, where he lives, whether he is handsome or not, what is his name...

For a while, Mr. Chen was so melancholy that he just wanted to eat two more bowls of rice.

It's even more worrying to borrow a meal to dissipate your worries!

in the kitchen.

Just as Lin Xu was about to add a dish to the fattening team outside, Wei Gan came over with the oil decanted from steaming ham:
"Lin Xu, what are you going to use this oil for? It's salty and greasy..."

Why use it?
Lin Xu saw some washed water spinach beside him, so he said with a smile:

"Later, I will use this oil to fry water spinach, cured water spinach, and it happens that I don't even need to put any salt."

I'm wondering what to add.

This is it.

Although the mapo chicken cake is delicious with rice, you still have to eat green vegetables. After all, it is autumn, so add more vitamins so that the skin will not dry out.

It happens to be in line with the psychology of beauties to lose weight.

He took the washed water spinach, cut off the roots, and then separated the leaves and stems.

In major restaurants, water spinach is a relatively common vegetable, and its popularity is relatively high, especially in the southern region, where delicious water spinach can even become a signature in restaurants.

In daily life, water spinach is also a dish that is often eaten at home.

But if you make it at home, you can rarely make the appearance and taste of a restaurant. Most people make soup, or blacken it, or fry it directly.

It does not have the green color and crisp taste of the restaurant.

In fact, there is a skill in making water spinach delicious, which is to add a "finishing" step before cooking.

Finishing is a step that is often used in the process of making vegetables. For example, when making boiled cabbage hearts, the previous step of boiling cabbage hearts is a kind of finishing.

However, this method of blanching is not suitable for water spinach.

Because the moisture is too large, the vegetable soup is more.

Vegetables like water spinach should be cooked by frying.

After the water spinach was cut, Lin Xu grabbed a handful of peeled and washed garlic and put it on the chopping board, smashed them one by one with a kitchen knife, and then chopped them into minced garlic.

Slapping the garlic can make the garlic taste more intense, but you should pay attention when shooting, some kitchen knives are easy to break, and accidents may occur if you are not careful.

When frying water spinach, the amount of garlic should be more, and the taste of water spinach will be better.

In addition to garlic, some dried chilies should be cut to add some dry flavor, which will make the dishes more delicious.

The dried chilies and garlic were ready, and Lin Xu prepared another bowl of salt water with salt.

Set up the wok and start cooking.

Pour oil into the pot, heat it up over high heat, and pour the stalks and leaves of the water spinach into the pot.

After pouring it in, quickly pour the prepared light salt water along the side of the pot, then hold the handle of the pot with one hand, and quickly stir fry with a spoon in the other.

Adding oil to the water can keep the green color of the vegetable leaves.

The salt water can make the dishes soft and collapse quickly.

As for the heated inner wall of the frying pan, the excess water in the vegetable leaves can be evaporated.

After the water spinach has completely collapsed and changed color, pick up the wok and pour the vegetables directly into a large colander to start controlling the water.

Wash the frying pan and put it on the stove again, heat it up and add a spoonful of steamed ham oil.

There is condensed water in the steamer in the ham oil, so after the oil is put into the pot, it must be burned first to boil out the water in the oil.

When the ham oil is cold, it has no taste. It looks like ordinary oil, but after heating, the rich fresh aroma of ham floats out of the pot.

This is the fat naturally prepared for greens.

It can not only make the green vegetables have a plump taste, but also increase the unique fresh fragrance of ham.

It tastes delicious and goes well with rice, even better than vegetables fried in lard.

After a while, the water in the oil was boiled dry. Lin Xu divided the minced garlic into two, and poured half of it into the pot together with the dried chili slices, and put the remaining half out of the pot.

Stir-fry the minced garlic and dried chilli segments until they are fragrant, then pour in the water-drained water spinach and stir-fry over high heat.

At this time, the water spinach has been killed with a little water, and the leaves have collapsed and softened, so it can be broken after a little frying.

Stir-fry on high heat for [-] seconds, pour a little light soy sauce along the side of the pot, and add a little sauce flavor to the dishes.

Continue to stir-fry to further reduce the moisture on the surface of the vegetables.

Finally, add a small spoonful of white sugar for freshness, and then put in the remaining minced garlic, stir fry evenly, and put it on a plate.

Because it is fried with ham oil, there is no need to add salt to taste.

The whole cooking process is simple and quick.

When Lin Xu came out with the dishes, the small pot of Mapo Chicken Cake that he made earlier was almost finished.

It's only been a few minutes, is this more than half eaten?
Tsk, you guys really don't give way to women!

"It has to be Boss Lin. He knows that eating only this mapo chicken cake is easy to get angry, so he fried water spinach for us."

Zeng Xiaoqi sighed in admiration, picked up a chopsticks of water spinach and put it in her bowl, then looked at Chen Yan and Shu Yun and said:
"I saw you two posting on your Moments this afternoon that you ate tomatoes, so I went to the supermarket opposite the TV station and bought some. Why are tomatoes so unpalatable now? They're even harder to bite than apples."

Chen Yan and Shu Yun looked at each other.

They both saw guilt in each other's eyes.

But in an instant, the two reached a consensus like a cat's paw resting on a human hand!

Shu Yun said:

"I picked a few softer ones from the kitchen on purpose. They're okay to eat. Where's yours, Mr. Chen? Is it delicious?"

"Generally speaking, except for the taste being a bit sour, everything else is fine."

Thinking of Yueyue's posts in Moments, Mr. Chen couldn't help feeling the sour taste of raw tomatoes.

Zeng Xiaoqi muttered that there are no sandy tomatoes from her childhood now, and picked up a leaf of water spinach and put it in her mouth.

Then, her big eyes, praised by netizens as being able to talk, suddenly widened:

"Ah! Why does this water spinach smell like ham? Is it fried with ham?"

Looking down at the water spinach on the table, except for a little minced garlic and a few dried chili peppers, there was not a single bit of minced meat, let alone ham.

But the taste of this dish...

She took another bite, and she was sure it was the smell of ham. She had just eaten fresh flower ham mooncakes, so Director Zeng was very impressed.

When the others heard it, they picked up a chopstick and tasted the water spinach. It really smelled like a strong ham.

It is obviously a very vegetarian dish.

But when you eat it, your mouth is full of the plumpness that only meat dishes have.

It's simply breathtaking.

Lin Xu, who had just filled a bowl of rice and sat down to eat, said:

"This dish is fried with steamed ham oil. If you want to eat more, you can eat more. There are quite a lot of water spinach in the back kitchen, which is enough for you to enjoy."

Ham fat?
No wonder it tastes so good.

Lin Xu picked up a chopstick and tasted it. The taste was delicious. The green water spinach tasted refreshing. The unique salty taste of ham was completely wrapped on the water spinach. It tasted tender and delicious, appetizing and delicious.

"In the future, whoever says that green vegetables are not good for rice, let him try this water spinach dish, it is absolutely beyond imagination!"

Everyone was eating when Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen came back from get off work.

"Mom and Dad, come and try the new dish today, it tastes great!"

Shen Baobao sat beside Lin Xu, with a happy smile on his face.

Ever since she received Lin Xu's loving afternoon tea after lunch, she has never stopped smiling. Now that she sees her parents, she can't wait to share her feelings.

Wow, I have to find a photo studio to plasticize the note later, and then take it out when I take my grandson with me, and tell my grandson.

Hmm... I must be very old then, and I don't know if Xu Bao still likes me.

I heard that men are very specific, and they like girls in their twenties. Then I have to keep a close eye on this stinky guy, lest he turn bad.

Lin Xu didn't know that his baby was preparing for retirement.

He got up and served a bowl of rice to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and by the way, he talked about the recipe of Mapo Chicken Cake.

When serving rice, I specially served some more for my father-in-law.

Weng and son-in-law looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

In the afternoon, Shen Guofu was still worrying about today's dinner, and he really didn't have much expectation for those fat-reducing meals.

After receiving the call from his son-in-law, he felt better, the flowers bloomed, and everything became better.

Now holding rice, eating delicious mapo chicken cakes and garlic spinach full of ham aroma, I can't help but sigh the beauty of life.

Lin Xu went to the kitchen after finishing a bowl of rice.

Since we are going to make custard mooncakes, we have to start making preparations now, otherwise we may not be able to make the mooncakes tomorrow.

After all, there are several steps that must be frozen in the production of this mooncake, so it must not be sloppy.

Bring some finished salted egg yolks from the freezer.

After cleaning, put it on the baking tray, spray a layer of Erguotou on the surface to remove the fishy smell, and then put it in the oven to bake the oil.

Toast the salted egg yolk before use can not only effectively remove the peculiar smell, but also make the salted egg yolk more fragrant and taste better.

This finished salted egg yolk is cooked, so it doesn't need to be baked for too long.

Under normal circumstances, if the surface is oily and slightly bubbling, it means that the egg yolk has been baked.

After taking it out, crush it while it is hot.

This step has to be quick, because the hot salted egg yolk is slightly soft, and it is easier to crush it into powder. If it is cold, not only the salted egg yolk will harden, but the particles produced by rolling are not fine enough.

After the salted egg yolk is completely crushed, pass it through a small sieve, so that the taste of the salted egg yolk is more delicate.

Custard Liuxin mooncakes are divided into three parts, which are cake skin, custard filling, and Liuxin filling.

When making it, wrap the Liuxin filling with custard filling, and then wrap the custard filling with pie crust. The whole process is mutual nesting of dolls.

But matryoshka also pays attention to technique.

Otherwise, the Liuxin filling will melt, the custard filling will produce oil, and even the pie crust will lose water and crack.

During the production of Custard Liuxin mooncakes, there are countless places that are easy to overturn, so when cooking, every step must be perfect.

Only in this way can it present the most perfect state.

Lin Xu put the crushed egg yolks in the freezer. This kind of crushed egg yolks tastes rustling and fragrant. It can not only be used to make custard mooncakes, but also can be used to make golden mooncakes, which are popular in Cantonese restaurants. Quicksand bags and other snacks.

If there are any leftovers, steam a few for Baby Shen and give this girl a taste.

While he was busy, Lao Huang brought his wife to dinner.

Lin Xu deliberately put down the work at hand and came out with two moon cakes to say hello.

After all, they gave away such a big piece of ham for free, and also contributed their own fresh flower sauce, which should be respected both emotionally and rationally.

"Brother, your craftsmanship is amazing. The filling is very well adjusted, and the salty and sweet flavors are really in place."

After Lao Huang and his wife tasted the mooncakes, they were full of praise for Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

Before Mrs. Huang came here, she didn't have much hope. She always felt that her husband was exaggerating too much, but after tasting Lin Xu's craftsmanship, she realized that her husband was just telling the truth.

"Excellent craftsmanship, it is difficult to buy such delicious mooncakes in southern Yunnan."

The current moon cakes are all blindly pursuing sweetness. Although ham is also used, it is soaked and boiled. The salty taste in ham has already faded a lot.

When adjusting the stuffing, I was afraid that the sugar would not be enough, so I added it desperately.

As a result, the sweetness of the mooncakes made is too strong, but the saltiness of the ham is not enough.

Mrs. Huang had new expectations for Lin Xu's craftsmanship while eating the delicious mooncakes.

She smiled and asked:

"Brother, can you make steam pot chicken?"

Steam pot chicken?
Old Huang said beside him:
"My wife loves family. If I don't eat some delicacies from southern Yunnan for a period of time, I feel that something is missing. Brother, if you can cook steam pot chicken, do it once. Money is not a problem."

Lin Xu smiled wryly and said:

"A steam pot is needed to make steam pot chicken, and it is difficult to make without a steam pot."

In Chinese cooking, some dishes require specific cooking utensils, such as clay pot rice that needs to be cooked in a clay pot, and steam pot chicken that can only be made in a steam pot.

If there is no steam pot chicken, then this dish becomes ordinary steamed chicken.

"There are boilers and boilers."

Lao Huang took a big bite of the mooncake, chewed and said:

"I have several steam pots in my house, big and small, but I don't know why, the steam pot chicken is not authentic. At that time, I thought it was a problem with the pot. Later, I went to Jianshui to buy a handmade clay pot. It still doesn’t work.”

No?

Lin Xu is interested:

"Why not? Is the pot leaking or what?"

Mrs. Huang smiled embarrassedly:
"It smells fishy..."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is a question of cooking techniques. What's the use of changing pots all the time?

It feels like those steam pots have suffered great grievances!

He smiled and said:

"How about this, Lao Huang, when you deliver the food tomorrow, bring the steam pot at home. I will make steam pot chicken once in time. I can't guarantee anything else, but there is absolutely no fishy smell!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Huang and his wife were immediately overjoyed:
"Then we can wait and eat!"
