"Xubao, does the fried roast lamb taste like barbecue?"
"Yes, it tastes better than barbecue."
In the kitchen, Shen Baobao, who was wearing a one-piece pajamas, looked at the mutton on the chopping board, her face full of curiosity. She had eaten Zhizi barbecue and Korean barbecue, but she had never eaten this kind of fried roast mutton. What?
Lin Xu said:
"The taste of this barbecue is very similar to that of Zhizi barbecue, but it is not as sophisticated as Zhizi barbecue. This is an emergency way to eat mutton skewers but do not have the conditions."
The mutton is slightly frozen and cannot be cut immediately. It needs to be thawed again.
Thinking that his baby could not drink, he asked:
"Are you going to eat it with soda or other drinks later?"
There are several kinds of beer in the refrigerator, including wheat beer and dark beer. There is even white wine and red wine at home, but these are not things that Baby Shen can drink.
"Drinking too much soda at night will make my stomach feel uncomfortable... Can I eat it with sesame biscuits? I remember when I was a kid, my dad would buy sesame sauce sesame biscuits covered with sesame seeds at the entrance of the alley when he came back from overseas, and fill them with meat for me to eat. ”
You can’t lose weight by eating this way.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Then let me make some sesame sauce pancakes. This thing is very fast."
He added a little more than a pound of flour to the kneading basin, and then put about 8 grams of aluminum-free baking powder into it.
Adding baking powder can make the dough fluffy quickly, which is much faster than natural fermentation.
After the flour was ready, Lin Xu added warm water to the bowl, then added two small spoons of baking powder and two small spoons of white sugar, and slowly stirred to dissolve.
He asked with a smile while stirring:
"My father took you to eat delicious food on my mother's back right then?"
"Just give it to me, but my dad won't let it go. He always eats it with pickles sandwiched between steamed buns. He also says it tastes better than sesame buns stuffed with meat."
No wonder my father-in-law is so addicted to meat. He must have had a hard time in his youth and got greedy.
Seeing that Baobao Shen was in a low mood, he said:
"Tomorrow isn't the weekend. Tomorrow our parents will go to a restaurant for dinner. I'll make sesame sauce pancakes again to give him a good time."
"Okay, thank you husband!"
After the baking powder and sugar are melted, slowly pour it into the flour, stir the flour into dough, and then use your hands to push the dough into a basin to turn it into a softer dough.
Wait until the facial basin is lighted, seal it with plastic wrap, and set it aside for hair drying.
In order to speed up the fermentation time, Lin Xu specially boiled some warm water in a pot, about 40 degrees Celsius, and put the basin in to speed up the reproduction of yeast.
After preparing the dough, Lin Xu began to process the mutton.
This is a piece of lamb backbone, which is fat, lean and sinewy. To be honest, it would be a waste to make fried and roasted lamb with such good meat. It should be more suitable to boil the meat or make lamb stir-fried with green onions.
But who makes their own babies like it?
First cut the lamb spine into thick slices, then cut into dice-sized pieces.
"This piece of meat reminds me of tamarisk skewers, but it's a pity that the tamarisk skewers now are not as delicious as they used to be."
Baby Shen sat in front of the kitchen workbench, holding his chin in his hands. He stopped playing with his mobile phone and stared directly at the raw mutton on the chopping board.
From this point of view, it is true that I got the true inheritance from my father-in-law.
If Shen Guofu were here at this moment, he would definitely have the same expression of waiting to eat meat.
Lin Xu cut the meat and put it in a basin. Mixed all the fat and lean meat together, then started marinating and seasoning.
To put it bluntly, the stir-fried roast lamb dish is a compromise method because you can’t eat roast lamb. The taste of the dish must be close to the taste of roast lamb.
Therefore, in terms of seasoning, it is basically closer to the direction of grilled mutton skewers.
Add a small spoonful of salt, a small spoonful of sugar, a small spoonful of pepper, a small spoonful of cumin powder, a tablespoon of rice wine, a tablespoon of minced ginger, and half a tablespoon of soybean curd juice to the mutton.
Among these seasonings, salt increases the base flavor, white sugar enhances freshness, pepper, rice wine, and ground ginger remove odors, and cumin enhances flavor. As for the soybean curd milk, it increases the aftertaste and color.
Put all the seasonings in and stir in the same direction with your hands.
This step is more important. You must stir the mutton until the surface becomes sticky.
In this way, the flavor of the sauce will be absorbed, and the taste of the mutton will become better.
When it becomes sticky, add a little bit of dark soy sauce to increase the color. Stir again and add an egg white and a small handful of cornstarch. Stir a little to make the meat evenly battered.
Egg white is added to make the taste better, and starch is added to lock in the moisture in the meat.
Mix thoroughly and pour in half a spoonful of sesame oil to prevent the meat pieces from sticking together and increase the flavor of the mutton.
The mutton is ready, covered with plastic wrap, and placed in the refrigerator for refrigeration and marinating.
Next, it’s time to prepare the ingredients for stir-fried roast lamb.
The ingredients used in this dish are green onions, shredded onions, coriander stems, roasted cumin seeds and chili powder.
The so-called eyebrow scallion is to cut the white part of the green onion vertically, take out the core of the green onion and use only the white part.
Remove the core of the green onion and divide it into two halves vertically, and then cut the green onion shreds with a curved hook at one end, which looks like eyebrows. This is called eyebrow green onion.
Compared with ordinary scallions, eyebrow scallions only use the white part of the scallion, so the sweetness is stronger and the texture is crisper. The white part of the scallion is relatively thin, so it is easier to cook.
Generally, the dishes are placed just before they are ready to be cooked, so that the onion flavor can penetrate into the ingredients while maintaining a crisp and tender texture.
After the eyebrow green onions are prepared, prepare the onion shreds and coriander stems.
Then Lin Xu set up a non-stick pan, put half a bowl of cumin seeds in it before it was overheated, and roasted it slowly over low heat.
Cumin is a very interesting spice. It must be freshly roasted to get the best flavor. If it is roasted in advance, it will lose its flavor once it gets wet and may even become moldy.
When the surface of the cumin grains turns brown, turn off the heat.
After pouring it out, use a garlic mortar to pound it a few times. Don't pound it too much. The slightly grainy texture will make the aroma stronger.
When the cumin is ready, put the thick chili powder into the pot and roast it to create a spicy flavor.
At this moment, the meat has not yet been marinated and the noodles have not yet risen.
Lin Xu added a few split star anise into the pot, stir-fried until fragrant, added a handful of peppercorns, and added some fennel.
Saute everything until fragrant, put it into a cooking cup, add some freshly roasted cumin, and crush it with a food processor. This is the five-spice powder for making sesame seeds.
After the powder was ready, Lin Xu brought the sesame paste and began to make the ingredients for the sesame sauce biscuits.
One tablespoon of sesame paste, one teaspoon of salt, three teaspoons of the freshly beaten five-spice powder, then add one tablespoon of sesame oil, and stir evenly with chopsticks.
"Why put sesame oil?"
Shen Baobao was a little curious. She had just prepared to take a photo, but found that the effect of shooting at night was not very good. Why not try it tonight and then take the photo tomorrow?
Anyway, it’s the weekend tomorrow and there’s nothing to do, so I can take the video with peace of mind.
"Sesame oil can make the aroma of sesame paste stronger, and it can also spread the sesame paste, making it easier to spread on noodles later."
Sesame paste alone is too viscous and difficult to spread on the noodles.
Add some sesame oil and it will feel much smoother.
Lin Xu prepared all these, took out the marinated mutton from the refrigerator, and began to prepare fried and roasted mutton.
If it’s other dishes, don’t worry about the order.
But when eating sesame cakes with meat, the sesame cakes must be hot. It is better if the meat is cold, so that the heat of the sesame cakes can bring out the aroma of the sesame cakes, making them taste more delicious.
"Xubao, Xubao, can I operate it? You point me and let me do it."
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Shen Baobao immediately rolled up his sleeves, carefully washed his two white and tender hands, and then looked at the pots and pans hanging in the kitchen like he was reviewing troops and asked:
"Which pot to use?"
"Flat nonstick pan."
Baby Shen took off the pan, put it on the stove, turned around and asked:
"What's next?"
"Heat the pot first, then add a spoonful of cold oil to slide the pot."
"I can do this!"
She put the pan on the stove to heat up, then opened the lid of the oil drum, poured a spoonful of oil from the inside into the pan, shook the pan and poured it back into the oil drum.
"What to do next?"
"Reheat the heat and add the mutton."
Chef Shen heated the pot as Lin Xu said, poured the marinated mutton in, and used a bamboo spatula to spread the mutton pieces evenly.
"Hey, I haven't put in the oil yet."
"The mutton will produce oil, so don't add it yet. Fry the mutton oil and then add oil."
"Oh..."
I originally thought that I would stir-fry quickly like a restaurant chef, but instead I just heated up the pot, poured in the meat and slowly fried it.
I haven’t felt a sense of accomplishment in making custard mooncakes yet.
"When frying, be careful not to burn it. Fry the meat until it is slightly browned, then turn it over."
Soon, the aroma from the pot wafted out. The unique aroma of cumin powder and mutton made people feel like they were in front of a barbecue stall.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for a while.
After a minute, open the lid of the pot and turn the meat over. There was no grease on the bottom of the pot when the meat was placed, but now there is a thin layer of soup.
This is the reason why the water and fat in the meat are fried out.
Stir-fry, turn the mutton pieces over, fry for another minute or two, stir-fry again, then add half a spoonful of vegetable oil to the pan and continue frying.
Stir-fry until the meat changes color completely and the mutton is already raw.
"Put a small spoonful of salt and spread it widely. Don't throw a big lump in... Well, not bad, it's a bit like an executive chef cooking."
Hearing the compliment, Shen Baobao said proudly while turning over the meat:
"That is, regardless of which school I graduated from, Central University of Finance and Economics, that is the New Oriental Chef School in 985."
The meat is almost cooked and the aroma is there.
Then add the roasted cumin and chili powder.
As soon as I put it in, the flavor of the kebabs became rich.
Stir the ingredients evenly, Lin Xu said:
"Add green onions and stir-fry twice."
"Oh..."
After hurriedly completing this step, an executive chef discovered that the onions and coriander stems had not been put in yet.
Lin Xu said:
"No need to brush the pot, reheat it, spread the onions evenly on the bottom of the pot, stir-fry twice, add the mutton, sprinkle with cooked sesame seeds and coriander stalks, and serve with the pot."
Here we learn from the serving method of Zhizi Barbecue, and also have the cooking methods of dry pot in Southwest China.
Place the heat shield on the dining table, then Chef Shen puts the sizzling pan on it, stirs it twice with chopsticks, and mixes the coriander stems and cooked sesame seeds.
Then he took a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing it while exhaling:
"It's so fragrant, so fragrant. It's much more delicious than mutton kebabs."
After eating a piece of meat, this girl's secondary disease broke out. She slammed the table and shouted at Lin Xu:
"Waiter, serve the wine! I've had enough to eat and drink today, and I'm going to go to Jingyanggang!"
This voice woke up Dundun who was sleeping on the sofa. The little guy jumped on the table at the door of the kitchen and peeked in, as if the two of them were still up and making trouble.
Lin Xu looked at his cute "cerebellar axe" and said:
"Why don't you put the poison in the fried and roasted mutton that you made yourself?"
"Yes, yes, I forgot."
Shen Baobao took a photo with his camera and sent it to the group:
"I wanted to eat barbecue but was too lazy to go out, so I had to make it myself. The executive chef's version of stir-fried roast lamb is even more delicious than the lamb kebabs."
In a barbecue restaurant near Beixinqiao, Chen Yan, who was eating barbecue with Ren Jie, saw the photo and was immediately attracted:
"Ren Jie, look, do you want to eat fried roast mutton? If you want, I'll make one for you to try the day after tomorrow."
Ren Jie is really a little greedy:
"Okay, just ask if it's troublesome. If it's troublesome, forget it."
Now that we have become a family, we have to consider issues from the perspective of others.
Chen Yan said:
"The fact that Yueyue can deliver it so quickly proves that it is not troublesome. Just wait and eat, you will definitely be satisfied."
As he was talking, the waiter brought some mahjong biscuits.
Chen Yan touched it and said:
"This is frozen and then heated. There are many such biscuits in Beijing now, and they don't have any sesame sauce flavor. I really miss the mahjong biscuits I had when I was a child."
Ren Jie smiled and said:
"Just eat it, I'll learn how to cook it for you later."
"Forget it, I can't even make pancakes, let me learn how to do it. My brother-in-law should be able to make it. One day I learn how to make pancakes, and we won't have to covet other people's sesame sauce pancakes anymore."
In the kitchen.
Lin Xu placed the large chopping board for making noodles on the workbench, then brought the noodles that had risen and started making mahjong sesame cakes.
Compared with grilling barbecue from beginning to end, making sesame seed cakes is relatively complicated.
Pour the dough out of the basin, roll it out directly without kneading, pour the prepared sesame sauce on the surface, and spread it evenly.
Then pull it up from one end and roll it while pulling it to prevent the sesame paste from leaking out.
Roll it up and shape it into a long strip, then divide it into dough balls with your hands.
Each dough is about half a fist size. When dividing, be careful not to spill out the sesame paste. Be sure to pack in as much as possible.
"Yueyue, plug in the electric baking pan, wipe it with kitchen paper, and pour in about one centimeter of oil."
"Okay!"
While talking, Lin Xu saw Dundun at the kitchen door looking greedy.
Okay, just focus on eating for yourself and forget about the child.
He added:
"Let's take a piece of tuna from the refrigerator and steam it. Dundun must be hungry too. Let's add a midnight snack for the child."
"Okay! Dundun, are you hungry? Mommy will steam some meat for you, don't worry."
"Meow~~~~~"
Get two deeper saucepans, pour light soy sauce into one, and white sesame seeds into the other.
He put the two ends of the dough into the middle, then dipped the bare side in soy sauce, and then dipped it in white sesame seeds, so that this side of the sesame seed cakes was covered with sesame seeds.
Dip it and put it on the chopping board, then start the next one.
After everything is done, turn the sesame side of the dough down and roll it into a thick round cake with a rolling pin.
Roll it out and put it into the electric pan, cover it, and start frying.
"I really didn't expect that the sesame seeds are dipped in soy sauce. I said that when I ate mahjong sesame cakes in the past, why was the sesame side so salty? I thought it was salt water."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"In the past, there were few seasonings and soy sauce was added to increase the salty and fresh taste. Even if there was nothing, I could finish a sesame seed pancake."
In addition to being salty, sesame sauce biscuits can also be mixed with brown sugar to make brown sugar sesame sauce biscuits, which are also super delicious.
But I mainly made it for the barbecue tonight, so I didn’t prepare that comprehensively.
There is a special small steamer at home just for steaming meat for Dundun.
Not long after I put the tuna in, the water started to boil. The little guy on the table at the door was probably hungry, so he actually pulled his small dining table over and sat next to the dining table, as if he was waiting to be fed.
"Wow, my son is so well-behaved. It's a pity that I didn't prepare tonight. Otherwise, if he was filmed like this, he is both sensible and a gentleman. Wouldn't this trigger a click-through rate?"
Lin Xu opened the electric baking pan, and the sesame cakes inside had swelled, and the color on the surface had also turned slightly brown.
Use tongs to flip the sesame cake over. The side with the sesame seeds has become browned and crispy, and even has a crunching feeling when you flip it.
After turning it over and cooking it for another two minutes, Lin Xu took it out of the pot and placed it on a long white porcelain plate.
After everything was served, he handed the plate to Shen Baobao:
"Let's put the poison in it. I'll fry this pot and the fish in the pot should have been steamed. Let's have a supper together as a family of three."
"Okay, okay... By the way, Xu Bao, how do you make this kind of sesame seed cake delicious?"
"Don't people in the capital pay attention to martial arts? Then eat on a stool, which will make you feel more energetic."
"Okay!"
Baby Shen pointed his phone at the sesame seed cakes on the plate, took a photo, and then sent it to the group.
"Eating mutton alone was not enough, so I made some sesame paste sesame cakes... Alas, I didn't even have hot soup, so I had to make do with mutton between sesame cakes."
Her tone of voice was so harsh that people wanted to beat her every minute.
In particular, a couple who were eating sesame seed cakes in a Beixinqiao barbecue restaurant were extremely excited by the sesame seed cakes in the picture.
Although I didn’t taste it, I knew it was delicious just by looking at the oily and crispy appearance in the photo. After looking at the photo, I looked at the sesame seed cakes in my hand that were obviously frozen and then heated in the oven. Chen Yan put the remaining half of the sesame seed cakes into the He threw it on the table and said immediately:
"If you don't want to eat, please pay and leave!"
Ren Jie ate all the meat on the baking sheet and asked curiously:
"You're not full, where are you going?"
"Go to Yueyue's house to eat freshly baked food. Since she dares to put poison, be prepared for the backlash."
Ren Jie: "..."
Have you two sisters cheated on each other like this since childhood?
He didn't think there was anything bad about the sesame seed cakes in his hand at first, but when he saw the newly made sesame sauce sesame seed cakes in the picture, and then looked at the sesame seed cakes in his hand that had no sesame sauce flavor at all, it was really disappointing.
Officer Ren was also a little moved.
However, he is not as shameless as Chen Yan, and he is somewhat embarrassed about going to other people's homes for dinner in the middle of the night.
"Let's go, let's take advantage of the fact that there are few people, and I want to worship Dundun to protect you. They say that worshiping Dundun is very effective, and Brother Qiang has become single because of it, so if I worship, maybe I can save you." ”
Ren Jie found this superstitious behavior funny:
"Then why don't you pray during the day?"
"I am Dundun's aunt. If everyone sees me worshiping Dundun, why would I laugh out loud? How can an aunt worship her nephew?"
Ren Jie glanced at her:
"If there is no reason to worship a nephew, is there any reason to be close to a nephew?"
When Chen Yan heard this, her face immediately turned red:
"A stinky nephew will bully my aunt... Let's go and eat sesame cakes. I can't wait to taste the taste of mutton in sesame cakes..."
