Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 551 Haven't got lunch yet today?Shen Jiayue: It doesn't matter, I will make a move! 【Subscribe】

"Xu Bao, do you want to make salted duck?"

After leaving the high-speed rail station, Shen Jiayue, who was in the co-driver, was searching for interesting places in Yinzhou City. Hearing Lin Xu's talk about making salted duck, he immediately became interested.

She is no stranger to salted duck. She ate it when she went to the Confucius Temple to burn incense before the college entrance examination.

Although I have eaten it several times in the capital, and it is also made by masters in Jinling, but for some reason, I always feel that it is not as satisfying as the local food in Jinling.

Lin Xu said:

"Sister Yuanyuan has already gone to work. We can't be idle at home. We have to find out new dishes. If the taste is good, we will introduce new dishes in the store and at the scenic spot at the same time."

Although the practice of salted duck is a bit cumbersome, it is not complicated.

Only a pot of salty brine is more particular. As long as the brine is adjusted well, Second Uncle Shi Wenming can easily cook this dish. By then, the task of serving ten perfect dishes will be one step closer.

In the past few days, Lin Xu plans to teach Shi Wenming dishes such as fish head soaked pancakes, flame drunk goose, and salt-fried lamb.

As for other dishes, let's talk about it later.

You can't become a fat man by eating one bite, and you can't train a chef in two or three days.

I can only take one step at a time. Anyway, this spring may come several times, such as the acceptance and evaluation of the racecourse, the environment evaluation of the racecourse, and the listing of the tourism association. Lin Xu, as a celebrity, needs to come to participate.

As for the introduction of horses in the future, it is even more necessary to come and participate. After all, this is their own industry, and the platform is indispensable.

He didn't go to the farmer's market, because there are not many vendors selling stalls at the moment, and many ingredients, especially frozen products, were accumulated years ago.

Parked the car at the entrance of a large supermarket, and the couple were going to go in and do a sweep first.

Shen Jiayue pushed a shopping cart at the door, and followed Lin Xu into the entrance of the supermarket. As soon as she entered, she exclaimed:
"Wow, so many people, is this a promotion?"

Lin Xu said:

"Not necessarily, the main reason is that many people feel bored during the Chinese New Year. Apart from visiting relatives, they either take their children to watch movies, or they can only go shopping in shopping malls and supermarkets. There are not many places to go shopping in such a small city."

If it is a big city, there are more cultural and entertainment projects, but in a small city, it is basically shopping in various supermarkets, or going to the suburbs to climb mountains and the like.

More and more people feel that Chinese New Year is boring, and it is the same.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the urban area, there are not many things to play, and the TV is full of advertisements, which is nothing to watch. Going to the supermarket has become the only choice.

Moreover, the temperature in supermarkets and shopping malls is quite high, so you won’t get cold, and you can walk around and exercise, which is better than staying at home and playing with your mobile phone.

Many children have myopia before they go to elementary school, which is caused by playing with mobile phones and tablet computers for a long time.

There are indeed New Year promotions in the supermarket, crazy discounts on various beverages, juices, snacks, etc. Shen Jiayue put a large bucket of Sprite and Coke together in the shopping cart, and said with a smile:

"I'm going to make Coca-Cola Chicken Wings again to justify the name of the poisoned version of Chicken Wings last time!"

"Okay, this time I'll help you take a closer look and make sure you can do it as soon as you do it."

Lin Xu put a box of discounted beer into the shopping cart, and picked out some juices and sodas that his aunts and aunts liked to drink, and put two packs of Pepsi Cola by the way.

After buying the drinks, Shen Jiayue pushed the shopping cart and bought a bunch of snacks.

When he arrived at the fresh food section, Lin Xu bought two durians that seemed to be of good quality and an oversized jackfruit, as well as several pineapples and high-quality cherries.

After picking these, the shopping cart was basically full, so he had to go to the door and push another one.

Come to the cold fresh area and start choosing meat.

"Is there a whole box of these white striped ducks?"

"Yes, how many boxes do you want, I will go to the warehouse to move them."

"Two boxes."

There are about ten white-striped ducks in a box. Lin Xu thought that since he was going to do it, he should buy as many as possible, and let his relatives taste it.

The production process of salted duck is relatively slow. It not only needs to be marinated with fried salt and pepper for one day and one night, but also marinated in brine for three times and dried in the sun, so that the duck meat is firm enough and delicious, and the bones of the duck will turn beautiful emerald green.

If the marinating time is too short, the bones will not change color, and it will almost taste bad.

After putting the price tags on the two boxes of ducks and moving them to the shopping cart, Lin Xu helped Shen Jiayue choose a few catties of chicken wings that seemed to be of good quality.

After the selection, Lin Xu originally wanted to leave, but when he saw that the pork section was selling an uncommon pork, he walked over with the shopping cart and asked curiously:

"Does this leg have many nuclei?"

Shen Jiayue at the side was very curious:

"Xubao, what is a leg nucleus?"

"It's the tendon meat from the front legs of pigs. There are only two pieces on each pig. It's very rare, and you can't buy it even if you want to buy it."

The tendons on the front legs of pigs are all tender and lean meat with a lot of fascia in the middle. They are very similar to beef tendons, but much less than beef tendons, because pigs only have the front legs, so they are considered pigs. biceps.

Each piece weighs about two taels, and each pig has two pieces, so this piece of meat is very rare, and it is not easy to come across it usually.

The cashier said:
"One to twenty catties, how much do you want?"

"I want it all!"

This tendon meat is an essential ingredient for making elbow flowers. Now that I have encountered it, I naturally have to make elbow flowers that I didn’t take care of during the Spring Festival, so that everyone can try it.

There are two ways to make elbow flowers. One is to separate the meat and skin of the elbow, then roll up the meat, marinate and slice it, and then eat it with sauce. Because the cross section is shaped like a flower, it is called For the elbow flower.

However, the elbow flower made of elbow has a disadvantage, that is, it is too fat, and it is easy to get greasy if you eat too much, so chefs in some places have improved it and replaced it with pork tendon wrapped in pork skin.

In addition to lean meat, tendon meat is fascia. It has a stronger taste and no fat meat. It tastes more chewy and goes better with wine. It is the number one appetizer in many people's minds.

In the past, elbow flowers were often seen at banquets in the northern part of the Central Plains.

But now, tendon meat is harder to come by, so the dish has become less common.

In addition to the ingredients, the cumbersome preparation also made this dish gradually lose its original status as the king of wine.

After buying the pork tendon, Lin Xu bought another ten catties of pig skin.

After everything was settled, the two went to the cash register to check out and leave.

Originally, I wanted to buy a few ducks to make some salted ducks, but I didn't expect to buy two big shopping carts, and Shen Jiayue hasn't let go to buy them yet.

When I drove back to the scenic spot, I found that everyone was not there.

I found out after calling and asking, that they were all swarming to dig wild vegetables.

In fact, digging wild vegetables is not the purpose, the main thing is to find a reason for everyone to take a walk and be active, so as not to stay by the charcoal stove all the time and have nothing to do.

And after yesterday's activity, everyone found that they could not only eat well, but also sleep soundly.

So today I went again after breakfast. It doesn't matter if I can dig up wild vegetables, as long as I can exercise.

Lin Xu moved the bought things to the kitchen, opened the cardboard box, and soaked all the white striped ducks in water.

To make salted duck, this step is essential. Only after soaking, the duck skin will turn white and tender, and the fishy smell of duck meat will be completely soaked out.

Surrounded by the side, Shen Jiayue looked at the ducks soaking in the basin, and asked curiously:

"How long does it take to soak? Is it too late to eat at noon today?"

Lin Xu smiled:
"Let's not talk about today, and I won't be able to eat it at noon tomorrow. It takes a long time to prepare salted duck. The time cannot be shortened, otherwise the duck will not be perfect."

A good salted duck requires white skin, powdered meat and emerald green bones. If it fails to meet such requirements, it means that the method is lazy.

Shen Jiayue originally wanted to have a good time, but when she heard that she couldn't eat it at noon today, she focused on the chicken wings:

"Do these wings need to be soaked too?"

"Yes, soak it up, it will taste better when it is made later."

When Shen Jiayue heard it, she happily took a stainless steel basin, poured the bought chicken wings into it, connected it with water, and started soaking it. Then she unscrewed Sprite and Coke for the sake of tasting salty, and drank each of them. a cup.

"What is the most important seasoning for making cola chicken wings?"

"Sprite."

Shen Jiayue was taken aback by Lin Xu's answer:
"Sprite for Coke Chicken Wings?"

"That's right, put some Sprite in it, it tastes better and the meat is more tender, you can try it later."

While speaking, Lin Xu had already soaked the pork skins he bought in clean water. As for the pork tendons, they could not be soaked. They could only be rinsed with clean water, drained and then marinated.

To make elbow flowers, if the meat is soaked for too long, it will not be easy to marinate and taste, so just wash it a little.

Squeeze the cleaned meat repeatedly to squeeze out the water, then put it into a basin, add smashed onion and ginger, light soy sauce, pepper, five-spice powder, star anise powder, and knead repeatedly to let the meat and the sauce fully mix uniform.

Then cover with plastic wrap, put in the refrigerator freezer, and refrigerate for more than four hours.

When making elbow flowers, the tendon meat needs to be completely wrapped with pork skin, and a clean white cloth should be wrapped outside the pig skin to prevent the pig skin from cracking during marinating.

The package is so tight that the taste of the stewed soup is not easy to soak in, so the meat should be marinated in advance.

In addition, no salt should be used in the marinade, so as to avoid the water killing effect of table salt, which will cause the dehydration of the meat, causing the meat fiber to become dry and hard, which will affect the taste.

"I feel that this elbow flower is also quite complicated."

Shen Jiayue looked around and found that this dish was not available for lunch.

Does today's lunch have to be done by the head chef?

Shen Jiayue happily began to choose shallots, and by the way, took a piece of iron sheet with edges, and quickly peeled the old ginger.

This is a little trick Chen Meijuan taught her. The outer skin of ginger is not easy to remove, and it is easy to hurt your hands with a knife, but you can easily scrape it off if you find an iron skin with edges and corners.

"What else should I do besides Coca-Cola Chicken Wings?"

She looked around, brought the duck with soy sauce from the capital, and prepared to steam a duck, but her method was slightly different from Lin Xu's.

This girl is going to put baby vegetables and vermicelli under the duck when steaming.

After the duck meat is steamed, the baby dishes and vermicelli should also taste perfect.

After Lin Xu heard this idea, he smiled and said:

"My baby can create new dishes by himself, and he can really become a chef in the future."

Shen Jiayue was full of pride:
"No way, who asked me to marry a super chef."

The young couple boasted to each other about their business and began to prepare lunch.

Lin Xu brought a duck with soy sauce, cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife, and waited for Shen Jiayue to prepare the baby vegetables and vermicelli, then neatly placed the chopped duck meat on the plate.

But it can't be steamed right now, so we have to wait.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu cut up some soy sauce meat and prepared to steam it together with the loofah, so that the freshness of the loofah and the aroma of the soy sauce meat could be combined together, and the taste should not be too bad.

In this way, there are already three courses for lunch.

Open the freezer, there are not many leftovers from New Year's Eve.

However, there are also dishes such as tiger skin chicken feet, fragrant taro pork, Sixi meatballs, boneless hairtail, and jelly fat sausage.

This kind of meat dish does not have to be thrown away after a meal. As long as it is preserved properly, it will taste better if it is heated again.

Lin Xu was going to heat up all these dishes, and wipe out the leftovers as soon as possible, so he didn't worry about it.

After the meat and vegetables are ready, stir-fry some green vegetables, and by the way, simply cook a tomato and egg drop soup, and the lunch is done.

"Xubao, how long does the duck in the basin need to soak?"

"It takes at least eight hours. I will start the next step after dinner today. Let's soak it now. The longer the time, the whiter the duck skin will be."

He washed his hands, steamed the rice, and began to teach Shen Jiayue how to change the chicken wings.

"Soak the chicken wings for more than half an hour. When the color turns white, you can take them out. Then use a kitchen knife to make a few oblique cuts on the front and the back. This kind of flower knife is generally asymmetrical. There are three cuts on the front and two cuts on the back. Staggered so that the flavor can penetrate to the maximum."

Shen Jiayue took a kitchen knife and scratched the chicken wings twice stupidly.

When rowing, I still gesture with my hands, for fear that the inconsistent spacing will make everyone laugh.

After this step, start marinating.

Put all the soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, green onion and ginger in, and stir a few times to let the flavor of the sauce penetrate into the chicken wings as much as possible.

Today I use a professional stove, in fact, it can be easily stewed without marinating.

However, in order to let this girl develop a habit, Lin Xu specially taught her the skill of marinating chicken wings.

Shen Jiayue grabbed the chicken wings and mixed them, and asked curiously:
"If it's marinated like this, can it also be used to make grilled wings and fried chicken wings?"

"Yes, but when baking, you should brush a layer of honey to make the surface sweet, so that the color of the baked product will be better and the taste will be more delicious. If it is fried, it is best to hang a thin layer of dry powder on the surface to increase the crispness of the outer skin. feel."

Lin Xu didn't hide anything from his daughter-in-law.

Anyway, Shen Jiayue has become a full-time UP owner, and it is a good thing for her to master some dishes.

And being a wealthy wife at a young age is too boring. Since she is interested in cooking now, it is natural to satisfy her as much as possible.

Shen Jiayue did not expect that learning how to marinate chicken wings would be so useful, she said with a smile:

"Then I have to practice more these days. When I go back, I will make honey roasted wings for Yan Bao. She can't just hold my leg and call me sister?"

The two were chatting when suddenly the sound of ducks croaked outside.

Only then did Lin Xu remember that there was still a live duck at home.

"Xu Bao, how are you going to eat this duck?"

"You can eat whatever you want. If it's simple, I can teach you."

As long as the daughter-in-law wants to learn, she will fully cooperate.

Shen Jiayue pondered for a moment, and really remembered a dish:
"Last year, Yan Bao and I attended a wedding banquet for a distant relative, and we ate a dish called Fragrant Rice Duck, which was a mixture of rice and duck meat, which seemed to be steamed, the rice was delicious, and the duck meat was also delicious. "

Is there another dish like this?

Lin Xu searched the points mall and found it.

He asked with a smile:

"Want to learn?"

"Well, I want to learn, can you teach me Xu Bao?"

"Yes, the recipe for this dish is quite simple. Let's make it for dinner. It's not too difficult."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue's confidence immediately increased.

Haha, it's not difficult, so what are you waiting for, learn and learn, you must learn it by hand.

Yan Bao, you beat me too much!

When it was almost noon, Lin Xu started to reheat the leftovers and taught Shen Jiayue how to make Coca-Cola Chicken Wings.

"Slide the pan first, fry the chicken wings, then add Coke, Sprite, and salt to start cooking. The steps are not difficult. Don't be afraid when frying. Use chopsticks to put them in one by one. Don't worry."

Shen Jiayue was wrapped in an apron, and in order to prevent hot oil from splashing on her face, she even put on an electric car helmet.

Not to mention, after the glass mask was put down, this girl actually had the feeling that Masked Superman had successfully transformed. Not only was she not afraid of hot oil, she even shook the frying pan to try to flip the spoon.

It's a pity that the craftsmanship is not good, the chicken wings in the pot did not turn over as cleverly as imagined, but shook, and then returned to the original shape.

"You don't need to flip the spoon, you can turn it over with chopsticks."

Lin Xu poured the heated Sixi meatballs and soup into a small porcelain basin, covered it, and when the exercising troops came over, they could start eating directly.

Shen Jiayue fried the chicken wings on both sides, then unscrewed the Coke, poured more than half of the bucket into the pot, and then poured a bowl of Sprite into it.

Add a little salt and start to simmer on low heat.

Not long after, Chen Meijuan walked into the kitchen with a bag of wild vegetables, saw her daughter-in-law wearing a helmet, and asked curiously:
"Are you two... acting?"

"No, I'm the one cooking for you. I put on the helmet because I was afraid of getting hot oil on my face. It feels great...Mom, wash your hands quickly, the food will be ready soon."

Shen Jiayue took off the helmet and put it aside, feeling that the image of the head chef was shattered.

Originally, I wanted to secretly make a Coca-Cola Chicken Wing to amaze everyone, but the surprise turned into shock.

Chen Meijuan said with a smile:

"My daughter-in-law is really amazing, she can still cook this dish, so we can wait to eat it."

After speaking, she saw the soaked duck and pigskin in the basin, and asked Lin Xu:
"What is this going to do?"

"When I went to the supermarket, I saw that the white-striped duck was good, so I bought two boxes to make salted duck, and then I bought [-] to [-] catties of pork leg core, and planned to use the pig skin to make some elbow flowers."

Upon hearing this, Chen Meijuan said with a complicated mood:
"In the next year, all of us will gain a lot of weight... Can this salted duck be in the scenic spot?"

Lin Xu nodded:

"Yes, duck in soy sauce is also fine. When the second uncle comes, I will teach him all these things and update the food in the restaurant."

The Coke in the pot was getting thicker and thicker, and when it was even a little shredded, Lin Xu asked Shen Jiayue to open the lid of the pot.

Take out the ruddy chicken wings and put them on a plate, then collect the soup in the pot and pour them on the chicken wings, and finally sprinkle some shallots for decoration.

A cola chicken wing is finished.

"Wow, Kaka, it looks so tempting. I didn't expect this to be my cooking!"

Shen Jiayue was in high spirits, and planned to learn about fragrant rice duck this afternoon.

If possible, learn elbow flowers and salted duck.

As a beautiful girl with ideals and culture, how can she just cook home-cooked food?Braised mei dishes also have to be dabbled in, after all, we are the executive chef of Lam Kee Gourmet.

All the dishes were served on the table. When everyone saw the cola chicken wings on the table, they couldn't believe that Shen Jiayue made them.

Han Shuzhen tasted it first:
"Not bad, girl, the taste is really good. Didn't Xiao Xu make it for you?"

"Of course not, my cooking talent is super high, okay?"

Shen Jiayue happily ate the chicken wings she made herself, and felt that they were extraordinarily delicious, even better than the ones in the restaurant. She couldn't help feeling proud:
"Ho Ho, I really am a culinary genius!"
