"Wow, this winter melon stuffed with meat is so delicious!"
In the recording room of the TV station, Zeng Xiaoqi ate the winter melon stuffed meat made by Lin Xu and entered a state of forgetting words again.
Zhen Wensheng, who was not far away, gave a wry smile.
A top graduate from Tangtang Media University, he has a solid career and works hard since he entered the industry, but he frequently forgets his words every time he records a food program.
Food programs are really not suitable for foodies.
If you don't get rid of this habit of forgetting lyrics, the director will have a problem.
Someone stayed up most of the night to write the lyrics, but you forgot all about it after just two mouthfuls of delicious food. Is it worthy of the director's hair loss?
Zeng Xiaoqi has eaten winter melon stuffed meat made by Lin Xu, but last time she used chicken breast, which has low-fat and weight-loss effects, and this time she changed it to pork belly with better texture and taste.
The freshness of winter melon and the rich aroma of pork belly form a strong contrast.
Coupled with the spicy and spicy sauce, the taste is simply unforgettable.
"It's so delicious. I suggest viewers and friends try it at home. It's easy to make and tastes good. It doesn't take much time. It's faster than takeout..."
After the recording was completed, Zeng Xiaoqi picked up a complete winter melon stuffed meat with a kuaizi, walked quickly to the director and director, and said in a flattering tone:
"I'm sorry, Xiao Wei, I forgot my words again. The bottom line is that Boss Lin's cooking was so delicious that my brain suddenly shut down. If I want to blame you, blame Boss Lin."
Lin Xu: "..."
With this skill of scapegoating, Japan’s island country should not be able to confer a blame-shifting fairy?
Director Xiao Wei was originally not satisfied with Zeng Xiaoqi's behavior of forgetting lyrics, but after tasting the winter melon stuffed meat made by Lin Xu, she suddenly felt that Sister Xiaoqi should not be blamed.
This tastes so good.
The winter melon is soft and tender with the strong aroma of pork. No wonder Boss Lin repeatedly emphasized buying white-skinned winter melon when making it. It does taste much better than green-skinned winter melon.
"Okay, Senior Sister Zeng, which dish should be next?"
Xiao Wei waved her hand generously and no longer cared about Zeng Xiaoqi forgetting her lyrics.
Forget it, as long as the program is effective, the words are not important.
Besides, Miss Zeng is my senior at China Media, and she is also the person in charge of this column, in charge of bonus distribution and a series of other things.
In this case, of course I choose to forgive her!
Zeng Xiaoqi gently pinched Xiao Wei's fleshy face:
"This is my good school girl. Wait for me after get off work and share some limited edition snacks with you."
Upon hearing the words "limited edition", Xiao Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.
The last time we ate limited edition snacks were the Shaqima and Horseshoe Cake made by Boss Lin himself, so this time it should be made by Boss Lin himself?
Make money, make money.
Zeng Xiaoqi happily went to the next room to change her clothes.
Well, in order to prevent the audience from seeing that it was recorded on the same day, she prepared at least six sets of clothes today just to make the show better.
"What do you think of this outfit?"
Arriving next to Lin Xu, Zeng Xiaoqi turned around in a circle.
She is wearing a dark green dress with a white shirt-style lapel and a college-style collar flower on the collar. She looks younger and more fashionable.
Lin Xu pointed at the leek moss just taken out of the foam box and said:
"It matches the color of leek moss very well."
Chives?
Zeng Xiaoqi thought it was another dish she had eaten before, but when she saw leek moss, she suddenly felt unfamiliar.
It seems that when I didn’t go to Lin Kee to eat, Boss Lin also cooked new dishes.
"This is a dish my senior brother taught me. I finally found a day to record the show today. I want to record some short and quick dishes as much as possible, and save a few more episodes. This way I will be more relaxed when making big dishes."
The chives are fresh, but the accompanying mussels are different from last time.
This time Lin Xu used frozen mussels bought from the market.
The reason for this is because this program is aimed at the general public. We cannot blindly pursue high-end ingredients, but must determine the dishes based on the daily lives of the people.
Only in this way will everyone be interested in learning.
You have to cook ingredients like shark fin and sea cucumber every day. Even if everyone learns how many times will they have the opportunity to cook it?
When you are ready, start recording.
After the opening remarks, Lin Xu introduced the ingredients required for the dish of stir-fried mussels with leek and moss, then brought over the frozen mussels, soaked them first, and then taught everyone how to handle them.
After doing this, boil water in a pot and start blanching the mussels.
All frozen meat ingredients need to be blanched before cooking, so that they are safer to eat and can also remove the odor caused by freezing.
After blanching, take out the mussels, stir-fry them with lard, add the chives and continue stir-frying.
Soon, a dish of stir-fried mussels with chives and moss was completed.
After you're done, continue cooking and recording.
By 3:30 in the afternoon, ten dishes had been prepared.
Lin Xu looked at Zeng Xiaoqi who had put on white wide-leg pants and a black turtleneck T-shirt and said:
"That's it for today. I have to go to my father-in-law's house to cook. I plan to make a fish dinner. I have to see what fish he bought."
“An all-fish feast?”
Zeng Xiaoqi swallowed subconsciously.
It should be delicious, right?
She clearly remembered the large table full of dishes made with dragon fruit on the day of their engagement. The smell and texture made her have the urge to give another gift.
If we make a whole fish feast today, it will taste better, right?
I really want to join in the fun.
"The dragon crab you ate when you got engaged last time, what kind of fish are you going to eat this time?"
"I don't know. My father-in-law prepared it. It's probably a silver carp weighing several dozen kilograms or similar fish."
Lin Xu didn't change his clothes, took off his apron, packed up his personal belongings, said hello to everyone and left the TV station.
Speeding all the way to the West Fourth Ring Road.
When I parked the car in front of the villa, I discovered that my father-in-law’s Bentley, my sister-in-law’s Porsche 911, and Shen Baobao’s BMW X1 were all parked in the parking space at the door.
There are also vehicles such as Land Rover, BMW 7 Series and Maybach parked on the roadside.
Are the relatives coming so early?
Lin Xu locked the car door and walked into the villa.
As soon as he passed through the courtyard gate, Shen Baobao came over with a speechless expression:
"Xubao, I may not be able to eat today's whole fish feast."
"Why?"
"Because my dad bought a crocodile... He also swore to me and Sister Yan that anything with the word "fish" in it is all fish, and it will be a full fish feast."
Lin Xu: "..."
Did you bring back a crocodile for the all-fish feast you promised?
Are you planning to backstab me, father-in-law?
Fortunately, I have mastered the method of alligator feast, otherwise I would really make a big fool of myself today.
He smiled at Shen Baobao and said:
"Our dad is right, crocodiles are also fish, and you can cook with fish. Have you forgotten the last time I took you to Building 18 for a meal? Didn't we eat a lot of crocodile dishes that day?
."
Shen Jiayue: "!
”
Sure enough, my Xubao is the best!
In her excitement, she couldn't help but ask:
"But you just ate out with me that day and didn't go to the kitchen school at all. Can you still make this?"
"Yes, it's not difficult to make crocodile. Come on, take me to see the ingredients prepared by my father-in-law."
The two walked into the kitchen from the side door.
As soon as I entered, I saw a large crocodile nearly two meters long on the workbench.
The crocodile has been slaughtered, and the crocodile's internal organs are placed in a large stainless steel basin next to it.
In another direction of the kitchen, you can still hear the arguments between Chen Yan and her father Chen Yuejin trying to convince Shen Guofu that crocodiles are not fish.
"Aunt Liu was shocked when she first brought it in. Do you really know how to cook such a big crocodile?"
"Yes, but you need to help me."
As soon as he heard that he could participate in making crocodiles, Shen Baobao immediately wanted to go upstairs and change into his chef uniform.
Well, ever since they learned how to make skin jelly, this girl and Chen Yan have completely regarded themselves as chefs. Not only do they have chef uniforms in the store, but they also have chef uniforms and chef hats at home. They look like they are ready to enter the kitchen to save the day.<
/p>
"Tell me, Xu Bao, what do you need me to do?"
"Boil water. The scales on the outside of the crocodile need to be scalded with boiling water to remove them before they can be separated... Where is the crocodile blood? That is a treasure. Our dad won't want it, right?"
The crocodile is a treasure. Although the outermost scales cannot be eaten, they can be used as medicine.
All other crocodile heads, crocodile claws, crocodile steaks, crocodile belly, crocodile skin, crocodile tail, crocodile liver, crocodile intestines and other parts can be eaten, and even crocodile bones are also excellent ingredients for soup.
Crocodile blood can also be used to steam blood rice to replenish qi and blood.
"I don't know. I'll ask dad and put on some clothes."
Without the chef's uniform, I always feel like a Saint without a Saint Cloth when fighting against the enemy, and my confidence is a little lacking.
When Shen Baobao happily walked through the living room to change into the "Bronze Holy Clothes", he didn't forget to play the game:
"Xubao is here. He is going to make us a crocodile feast. By the way, dad, Xubao wants to ask you, did you ask for crocodile blood when you slaughtered the crocodile?"
"Can crocodile blood be eaten? I don't know about this. The shop where it was slaughtered asked me if I wanted it. I thought there was nothing edible about it, so I didn't want it. It seems I was careless..."
As Shen Guofu spoke, he walked into the kitchen, his eyes full of disappointment at missing out on 100 million.
I only wanted the internal organs and completely ignored the crocodile blood...
"Xiao Xu, can you eat crocodile blood?"
"Yes, but if you don't want it, don't ask for it. This crocodile is enough."
Lin Xu turned on the water boiler in the kitchen and boiled another pot of water on the stove.
It’s not easy to scald such a big crocodile. Although the villa kitchen is big and spacious, it is somewhat difficult to handle such a big crocodile.
"This is the largest farmed crocodile in the entire aquatic market. It weighs ninety-three pounds and seven taels, and it almost doesn't fit in the trunk of my Bentley..."
Tsk tsk tsk, when can my father-in-law’s problem of pursuing big things be changed?
The bigger the crocodile is, the better it tastes. It is best to choose a crocodile weighing 40 to 60 pounds. Such a crocodile should have a big head and the meat is still tender, which is the most delicious stage of the crocodile.
If it gets bigger, the meat will start to age and the taste will be much worse.
While waiting for the water to boil, Lin Xu found a super large basin from the kitchen, and together with his father-in-law Shen Guofu and uncle Chen Yuejin, they lifted the crocodile and put it in.
Then untie the tape wrapped around the crocodile's mouth and the wire tied around its limbs.
These were all tied up during the slaughter to prevent accidents, but now that the crocodile is completely dead and even its internal organs have been dug out, there is no need to tie it up again.
After the water boils, pour the boiling water on the crocodile.
Soon, those hard scales began to fall off.
Lin Xu took the crocodile tail out of the hot water, placed it on the edge of the basin, and started cleaning the scales on it with a steel brush. Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan, who put on chef uniforms and chef hats, were responsible for holding down the tail to prevent it.
Slip into the basin.
The scales fell off piece by piece, revealing the white crocodile skin underneath.
Chen Yan asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, you can eat from here, right?"
"Yes, these crocodile skins are rich in collagen and taste better than turtle and pig skins. I'll prepare them later for you two to eat more."
I need a helping hand right now, so I have to trick these two people into doing more work.
As soon as they heard it was rich in collagen, the two beautiful chefs immediately became energetic.
When helping Lin Xu hold the crocodile's tail, he even took the initiative to pull off the scales on it that were almost peeled off by the hot water.
After cleaning up the fish tail, Lin Xu cleaned the scales on the upper body.
Then lift the crocodile onto the workbench again, with its belly facing up, and use a steel brush to clean the scales on its belly.
After cleaning everything, scald it with hot water to clean as much of the scales on the skin as possible. Soon, the crocodile turned pure white.
Like a sculpture that hasn’t had time to paint.
Lin Xu placed the cutting board under the crocodile and chopped off the tail first.
The crocodile tail is divided into two parts. The thicker part of the first half is very thick, and it is relatively strong due to its high activity level, so it is suitable for braised in braise.
The tail tip of the second half is full of colloid, which is more suitable for making soup.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After removing the crocodile's tail, the size of the entire crocodile was suddenly reduced by half.
Then Lin Xu chopped off the crocodile head. There was not much meat in the fish head, and the crocodile did not have a tongue, so when chopping, he had to take out as much neck meat as possible, and later he would use the method of chopping fish heads with peppers.
Steam.
This kind of dish made with crocodile heads is usually to win the prize. When served, the mouth of the crocodile will be propped up, and the dish will be given a more aggressive name, such as Overlord Crocodile Head.
After arranging the head and tail, chop off the crocodile's claw tips and remove the limbs.
Crocodile claws are not only thick, but also rich in colloid. When cooked properly, the taste is not inferior to bear paws.
The four crocodile legs are huge. Lin Xu plans to make two and keep two, freeze them in the refrigerator, and then take them out to cook and eat when he gets cravings.
Without the head, tail and limbs, only the crocodile's cavity remains.
Now remove the crocodile belly. The meat in this part is the tenderest and can be stir-fried, steamed, or even made into sashimi.
However, no one in the family is used to eating raw meat, and Lin Xu doesn’t have such a hobby, so even if it’s sashimi, he still prefers to eat the meat cooked.
Cut off the belly and then remove the ribs.
The ribs of crocodiles are tender and the meat is delicate. They are suitable for marinating and frying directly to make garlic crocodile steaks or salt and pepper crocodile steaks. You can also marinate them in black bean sauce and steam them in a pot to make crocodile steaks with black bean sauce.
"I just discovered that crocodile meat is very similar to bullfrog meat. They are both pink and white, not blood-red like pork, beef, and mutton."
Chen Yan touched the crocodile meat and felt that the meat was very tender.
With such tender meat, the meat that grows after eating it will also be very tender, right?
She has now begun to look forward to the way her skin will become better and her complexion will be better after eating crocodile.
Hmm, although I can't compare to my cousin in terms of figure, but in terms of skin and complexion, I can still compare with Xiu Yueyue.
"Yan Bao, if you're hungry, eat something else first. Don't sit here and drool while touching the crocodile meat."
Shen Jiayue groaned in disgust, feeling that her cousin was like a Komodo dragon that had seen its prey. Good guy, are you going to show your true colors?
Chen Yan raised her high-heeled leg and lightly kicked her cousin.
"You're just drooling. I just think the meat is so tender. How can I make it better later?"
After removing the ribs, only the spine bones and the crocodile skin on the back are left.
Lin Xu used a kitchen knife to quickly remove the crocodile skin from the back. This piece of skin can be used to make soup, make skin jelly, and stir-fry with dried chili peppers.
Anyway, you can eat pig skin as much as you want crocodile skin.
In order to divert attention, Chen Yan asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, can I buy the cut crocodile meat in the market?"
"It's okay, but you have to look carefully and don't buy lizard meat. It is said that some farmers' markets will sell giant lizard meat as crocodile meat."
Baby Shen immediately became happy when he heard this.
Just now, I thought my cousin was a Komodo dragon that drooled when it saw its prey. Unexpectedly, Xu Bao suddenly mentioned the giant lizard.
This is probably the legendary telepathy, right?
She originally planned to show off in front of Chen Yan, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it. Yan Bao is so petty and surrounded by kitchen knives. What if she goes crazy?
Alas, there are really fewer and fewer girls like me who know how to take care of other people's emotions. Xu Bao has made a profit!
After Lin Xu separated all the parts of the crocodile, he first packed the two crocodile legs in plastic bags and put them in the refrigerator to freeze.
Then began to modify the knife for the crocodile.
First cut the ribs into small pieces, marinate half with soy sauce, onion and ginger, and marinate the other half with seasonings such as onion, ginger, dried chili, light soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, and sugar.
When all the ribs are marinated, half are steamed and half are fried.
In this way, you can enjoy the deliciousness of crocodile ribs to the maximum extent.
After processing the ribs, start processing other parts.
Soak when it’s time to soak, marinate when it’s time to pickle, and change the knife when it’s time to change the knife.
After everything was taken care of, Lin Xu began to clean up the crocodile's internal organs, and asked Aunt Liu and others to prepare the side dishes for the whole crocodile feast.
For example, minced ginger, garlic, green onion, coriander, green pepper, red pepper, onion and fungus, etc. These side dishes are not necessary.
But it would obviously be better if we let it go.
After making these arrangements, Lin Xu first soaked the crocodile lungs, crocodile liver and crocodile heart in flowing water, then carefully removed the crocodile guts and put them into the soup later.
As for the lumps of fat in the abdominal cavity, find another basin to soak them in.
Before cooking later, boil some crocodile oil and use crocodile oil to cook these ingredients, which will make the fresh flavor of crocodile more intense and the taste of the dishes more oily and smooth.
After the internal organs were sorted and arranged, Lin Xu began to clean the crocodile's intestines.
This is also a delicious ingredient. Crocodile intestines are tender and chewy, and can be cooked in many ways. Today Lin Xu plans to use the technique of raw fried fat intestines to pop some crocodile intestines so that everyone can taste the deliciousness of this ingredient.
"Sword Comes"
As for the rest, just make it dry and stir-fry.
While he was busy, Shen Guofu was showing off to his relatives with his hands behind his back and his face glowing:
"You still keep arguing with me, saying that crocodiles are not fish, so what if they are not fish? When you meet my son-in-law, aren't you still clearly arranged?"
Hey, as long as there is a fish in the name, then it is within the jurisdiction of my son-in-law, and he can deal with it!
