They Gather Here

"..."

Eerily quiet.

Kato Megumi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the steam turned from a omen to reality.

"What's wrong with you?" Luo Zhen couldn't help asking.

"I thought... no, it's nothing." Kato Megumi shook his head, "You can turn off the lights now."

"baffling."

"Well, girls are all inexplicable."

baffling!

Luo Zhen complained again in his heart, then turned off the lights above the two tables, and then took back the fresh pork chops, went around to the back kitchen, and prepared to cook.

This time, he bought plum meat, which is usually less than 1.5cm thick and weighs about 200g.

The so-called plum blossom meat refers to the upper shoulder of the pig, which is the first cut under the neck of the pig when it is slaughtered.

Due to regular exercise, the proportion of lean meat is relatively high. In addition, on the most essential part of the cross-section of this part of the meat, the pink and tender fresh meat and silky white oily noodles are shaped like plum blossoms, hence the elegant name.

Such a good piece of material, as long as the chef is not too stupid, he will be able to make a perfect pork chop.

He washed the meat, and used the tip of a knife to cut a few knives at the junction of fat and lean meat. The purpose of this was to break the tendons, prevent the edges from curling during heating, and ensure that it was flat after frying.

Then, first cover the pork chops with plastic wrap, hit with the smooth side of the meat hammer, and then change the serrated side to hit each place carefully.

Kato Megumi was stunned by the side: "This is..."

Luo Zhen replied: "Soft and soft meat."

"Well……"

"I know that Japanese-style tonkatsu focuses on the thick and juicy texture of the meat, so it must not be knocked, but relatively, the quality of the meat is also required to be good enough. We bought this piece of meat from the shopping street at night, so it needs to be slightly processed."

Kato Megumi suddenly realized.

She understands that the "slightly" processing mentioned by the other party is a test of skill.

Anyone with cooking experience should know that if you use too much force, the tonkatsu will be knocked thinner and thinner, and if the force is too small, the "processing" effect will not be achieved.

Therefore, it is very important to master the strength. It is very difficult to ensure that the meat is thick and juicy, but also tender.

The girl watched Luo Zhen hit at least two hundred hammers, but found that the thickness of the steak had hardly changed.

The most amazing thing is that after peeling off the plastic wrap covering the pork chops, there is no minced meat on it, which is already in the category of "unbelievable".

Seeing her stunned, Luo Zhen smiled slightly: "I won't be lazy."

Uninterested guy...

Kato Megumi could only pretend that he didn't hear, and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, but he couldn't help it, and looked at the kitchen from time to time.

After knocking the meat, it’s time to marinate——

Cooking wine, salt, white pepper, green onion, ginger, and several seasonings are poured into the large plate in turn, and briefly mixed well, then squeeze the green onion and ginger to squeeze out the juice, then put in the pork chops, fully soak the juice, massage it gently, and put it in the refrigerator.

Since the longer it was marinated, the more delicious it would be, Kato Huiben thought that Luo Zhen would say "wait for it" and chat with him.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zhen still had work to do.

He cooked the rice first, then found a bag of white toast, and cut off the side of the toast (there is a very cute name in Japanese, "パンの脚", translated as "ear of bread"), and the white toast in the middle cut into small pieces.

Then, put it in the microwave oven and heat the front and back sides with high heat for two minutes, until the water evaporates, the toast becomes dry and brittle, and the surface turns slightly yellow.

At this time, Kato Megumi also noticed that Luo Zhen wanted to make bread crumbs by himself.

I saw him put the dried toast pieces into a fresh-keeping bag and started to crush them.

It sounds quite emotional.

At this moment, Luo Zhen looked over: "Would you like to give it a try, it's very relaxing~"

Kato Megumi nodded without thinking, and walked into the back kitchen.

She didn't pick up the tools that Luo Zhen handed over, but did it herself, like rubbing crispy noodles, lightly grasping and slowly rubbing and picking, using all kinds of postures at once.

I don't know what the girl imagined the dry toast.

Luo Zhen was stunned by the side, and suddenly felt a chill in the back of his neck, swallowed involuntarily, and let out a loud "Gudu~" sound.

The girl heard it, and looked up: "Luo Jun, just do what you need to do."

∠(°ゝ°)

Luo Zhen saluted.

However, the meat is marinated in it, and the bread crumbs are also being made, so now we can only start with leftovers.

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the side of the toast that he had just cut off.

Due to the working principle of the oven itself, the taste of the toast side is generally relatively hard, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard, but as long as it is used reasonably, pheasant can also become a phoenix.

He poured sugar, eggs, and whipped cream into a bowl, then added a few drops of vanilla extract and stirred well, and cut the toast into pieces for later use.

Then, put the side of the toast into the stirred egg milk and soak it fully so that it can fully absorb the egg milk.

Then it's time to go into the oven...

Brush an appropriate amount of melted butter on the bottom of the baking tray, place toast cubes on top, sprinkle with appropriate amount of dried cranberries, and put in an oven preheated to 180°C and 130°C for 20 minutes.

Toast pudding leftover version, you're done!

It can be said that there is no technical difficulty, just cut everything, soak it, and bake it.

However, the moment the toast pudding comes out of the oven, the air is filled with a rich creamy aroma, which is very appetizing.

stop!

Kato Megumi stopped what he was doing and cast his gaze over.

Luo Zhen smiled: "The amount is very small, it can only be regarded as a small amount of appetizers and desserts before meals, but the taste is still very good."

Kato Megumi immediately nodded and came over.

"It's really like pudding." She couldn't help but admire in surprise.

"The taste is also similar~" Luo Zhen encouraged.

"really?"

"Try it~"

Kato Megumi scooped up a spoon and put it into his mouth, following the remonstrance.

I don't know what kind of magic Luo Zhen cast. The originally slightly hard toast is as soft as pudding, but this kind of softness is not as delicate and dense as cheese pudding, but has more elasticity.

As for the taste, it is burnt, crispy and sweet, with the aroma of caramel, coupled with the unique sweet and sour taste of cranberries, fresh and refreshing, not greasy at all, making people want to stop.

The second scoop...

The third scoop...

Fourth scoop...

Every spoonful is soft and sweet.

o(*￣▽￣*)o

happy!

The girl ate happily, and finished the toast pudding in a blink of an eye.

Luo Zhen also thought about continuing the work just now, but found that what was in front of him was not just bread crumbs, it was almost slag, and the moment he opened the fresh-keeping bag, he could even hear the sound of static electricity.

I don't know who that girl has such a big hatred with.

He looked at Megumi Kato: "Making bread crumbs is not enjoyable enough, is it?"

The girl nodded: "Yeah."

"Then you can grind the sesame seeds."

"I quite like the setting of 'let you have something to do while you wait for the meal', give me give me."

Luo Zhen took a small bowl and two kinds of black and white sesame seeds and handed it over.

There are patterned grooves in the special grinding bowl, hold the grinding stick and rotate clockwise along the wall of the bowl, the granulated sesame will be lightly turned into dust, and the fragrance will slowly float out.

Of course, with the aroma of the sesame seeds being ground, the anticipation of delicious food becomes more and more urgent.

The movements of Kato Megumi's hands gradually accelerated.

Seeing that the girl was having a good time, Luo Zhen poured the bread crumbs into the plate, and then started to make the sauce——

Put tomato paste, thick soy sauce, apple puree, dark vinegar, mirin, miso, horseradish, and sugar into the pot, add water, stir well, cook on low heat for 5 minutes, and then remove from the pot.

Dipping sauce, done!

I tasted it lightly with chopsticks, only felt sour, sweet and slightly spicy, very refreshing.

Luo Zhen nodded in satisfaction, looked at the time, and felt that it was almost time, so he took out the marinated pork chops from the refrigerator.

The following steps are called "Three Passes", which are flour, egg liquid, and bread crumbs, which have the effect of blocking oil. Instead of pork, it is directly fried at high temperature, so as to ensure that the meat will not dry out and become woody, and the taste will be better.

First, the pork chops are rolled in flour, and the excess flour is tapped off, leaving only a thin layer.

Then, throw it into the egg wash and take a bath.

Finally, "dress" into the bread crumbs, dip both sides evenly, and press it firmly, the bread crumbs are almost embedded in the pork chops, and it is not easy to fall off when frying.

Luo Zhen's skill is very good, he didn't make the skin of the pork chops too fat, and the speed is fast enough, so that he can pour a lot of oil into the pot before "passing three passes".
