"Wakaka, it smells really good!"
Shen Jiayue didn't know that there was no so-called eel in the world, and she didn't care to doubt whether Lin Xu's words were correct. She was now holding the rice in the bowl, enjoying the spicy and appetizing taste, and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
.
Although this is a artificially bred snake, the texture and taste are not bad at all.
Especially the firm snake meat and elastic snake skin, when you eat them in your mouth, coupled with the spiciness brought by the four kinds of chili peppers, it feels really delicious.
Lin Xu tasted it and was amazed by Xie Baomin's craftsmanship.
Although many high-end chefs are ashamed of cooking heavy-flavored dishes and specialize in fresh and elegant government dishes and literati dishes that sell well, but what ordinary people can really afford are such heavy-flavored dishes.
And after a tiring day, eating three bowls of rice or two bottles of cold beer with spicy and delicious dishes can relieve the fatigue all over the body.
If you are hungry and want to drink some soup or eat some bland and tasteless dishes, it will be almost meaningless.
That is to say, the emperors in movies and TV dramas often eat lotus seed soup or snacks made by their concubines, and regard eating as fun.
If Lin Xu were the emperor, he would probably slap the table:
"Take this lotus seed soup away and give me two big elbows in exchange for it!"
If you have become the supreme emperor in the 1990s and still live in such a mediocre life, then what’s the point of being an emperor?
Spicy snake meat paired with rice is very enjoyable to eat, and the Osmanthus Guangdu and Jinsha Guangdu made by Lin Xu also have a unique taste in the mouth.
Especially the Jinsha Guangdu has a crispy texture and at the same time you can taste the salty and sweet taste of the egg yolk. This sweet and salty taste and the salty texture of the salted egg yolk are really good.
Han Shuzhen and Shen Guofu, who had just gotten off work, also raved about the food, which gave them a new understanding of the ingredient Guangdou.
As soon as Shen Guofu sat down, he recognized the flavored snake in the clay pot.
But he was very smart, knowing that his daughter was afraid of snakes, and Shen Jiayue specially showed off that it was the eel made by his senior brother, so he approved the name.
As long as your daughter is happy, you can call her whatever you want.
The family was sitting around the dining table and eating when Lao Huang came.
This old man just came up from the stairwell and shouted:
"Lao Xie, you are really nothing. Now the snakes have gone into hibernation. I bought those snakes at a high price for tooth-beating sacrifices. You guys are so good that you divided them all up in one go."
Under normal circumstances, autumn is the season for eating snakes. There is even a saying in the south that "when the autumn wind blows, three snakes will get fat".
The so-called three snakes refer to the three non-venomous snakes that are used as food ingredients: cauliflower snake, black snake, and king snake.
Lao Huang was so angry that he managed to get some fat snakes. He originally wanted to keep a few for himself, but was snatched away by two stinky hooligans.
Just as he was talking, when he saw the flavor snake on the table, this guy immediately stopped beeping:
"Damn, you actually ate it. Isn't the snake meat delicious?"
Snake meat???
Shen Jiayue looked at the fragrant, spicy and delicious meat in the bowl, and then looked at the pattern on it. It was indeed very similar to the skin of a snake...ahhhhhhh what I am eating is actually snake meat?
She put down the bowl and looked at Lin Xu with wide eyes:
"Smelly Xubao, you actually tricked me into eating snake meat. Don't you know I'm very afraid of snakes?"
Lin Xu laughed dryly:
"Eat first, eat first, and it's not too late to get scared after eating. Then I will be scared with you."
Shen Jiayue originally thought that snakes were so scary, and you actually ate them. It was scary to think about it. But thinking about it again, the snake meat tasted pretty good, so she picked up the bowl again under the influence of appetite.<
/p>
Well, eat the meat first, and then talk about the things you are afraid of when you are full.
Anyway, Xu Bao is with me, and cats have a natural blood suppression of snakes. As long as they are with their good son, they definitely don’t have to be afraid of snakes!
Lao Huang does not eat staple food, but after tasting a piece of snake meat, he unconsciously served himself a bowl of rice. Such spicy snake meat must be eaten with rice to enjoy it.
And this is your own snake, so you have to eat as many pieces as possible to minimize the loss as much as possible.
Xie Baomin rushed to the car driver and said:
"Small car, bring out the white wine soaked in snake gall to Boss Huang. We have eaten snake meat, so we have to give the snake gall to others. This thing is a good thing."
After hearing about snake gall soaked in wine, Lao Huang really became interested:
"That stuff is so strong that I can't drink it alone. How about we share it among the three of us? I heard it's a great tonic and you can't miss it."
As soon as Shen Guofu heard the word "wine", his ears perked up.
Now it’s said to be wine soaked in snake gall, which makes it even more exciting.
He hurriedly took two mouthfuls of rice and said with some nostalgia:
"The last time I drank snake gall wine was when Yueyue was a child. She went back to her hometown in the Northeast to visit relatives. An old relative caught a venomous snake from the old forest and soaked the snake gall in wine. When she drank it, she screamed loudly. Since there is still snake gall today,
Then you have to try it."
Soon, the driver brought out a white wine glass with three snake galls soaked in it.
Lao Huang took it and used a wine divider to divide the large glass of white wine into three parts. He also carefully separated the snake gall inside. After dividing, the three middle-aged men raised their glasses and drank.
I don’t know if it is effective, but the grinning looks of the three people seemed to have taken some magic pill, which makes people wonder whether this so-called wine-infused tonic only has a psychological effect.
While we were eating, Chen Yan, Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing and others came over to eat after get off work.
"Hey, today's meal is so rich. What are these?"
"Ha, this is Xubao's Osmanthus Guangdu made with egg yolk. This one is Jinsha Guangdu made with salted duck egg yolk. The colorful meat segments inside are snake meat, the kind of snake that is so greasy and looks so scary.
Snake..."
Shen Jiayue deliberately spoke in a scary tone, hoping to scare her cousin so that fewer people would rush to eat.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Yan heard the snake meat, her eyes suddenly lit up:
"How did you know that I'm craving for snake meat recently? As for rice, I have to quickly serve a big bowl of rice. I'm so greedy. I haven't eaten snake much since I graduated with my master's degree. I miss this bite so much."
Shen Jiayue:??????
You Yanbao is not afraid of snakes?
Middle-aged women are really scary, how can they be like little girls like us? If it weren’t for food, they would have jumped into Xu Bao’s arms by now.
Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing sat down next to Shu Yun and started eating with everyone else. Although they were a little surprised when they heard about eating snakes.
But accidents are accidents, and you still have to eat meat.
After all, as a carnivore, it would be a joke not to eat meat.
And everyone is eating it, so it must taste very good, otherwise why would the landlady scare Mr. Chen and not let her eat it?
Chen Yan held the rice and tasted the Guangdou made by Lin Xu first. Compared with the spicy and sour Guangdou she had eaten at lunch, the two better-looking "Golden Legend" dishes on the table had more flavor, sweet, salty and salty.
More suitable for girls.
After tasting Guangdu, she then tasted snake meat. She was immediately attracted by the spicy and delicious flavor of snake.
"Wow, isn't this delicious?"
My cousin actually tried to dissuade such delicious snake meat, but it turned out to be plastic sisters.
She had just taken two bites when Zhu Yong and Zhuang Yizhou presented the prepared cauliflower snake and dragon and phoenix to them.
Originally, the soup was not simmered so quickly, but Zhuang Yizhou used a pressure cooker, which greatly reduced the cooking time of this dish.
The chicken and snake meat are mixed in the rich soup, which is full of fragrance. It seems that there are also ingredients such as ham and lard in it, so it has a rich flavor.
Just because of this taste, there won’t be any soup left in this pot today.
"Wow, the snake meat cooked in this jelly pot is so chewy and brings out the delicious flavor of the snake meat itself."
From the appearance point of view, the Ginger Cauliflower Snake is very similar to the Flavor Snake, but when you actually eat it, you realize that there is a big difference between the two.
The flavored snake is simmered in stock, and the meat has a rich flavor, making it juicy and fragrant when you take a bite.
The Ginger Cauliflower Snake is made with specially prepared Ginger sauce, ginger, garlic and other ingredients, plus soy sauce, rice wine and other condiments, and is made by baking.
The snake meat does not come into contact with water during the production process, so the meat will be firmer.
At the same time, because there is no chili, the fragrance of the snake meat itself is not blocked, so it tastes a little more delicious than the taste of snake.
As for the soup stewed with snake meat and hen, it tastes surprisingly good.
It can be said that the delicious flavor of snake meat and chicken are completely combined, and the addition of lard and ham makes the delicious flavor more intense and diverse.
Simply put, this is a very delicious soup.
Shen Jiayue ate this delicious soup dish, drank the delicious soup, looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Xubao, should we go back directly later, or should we stay in the store for a while?"
"Stay for a while and make the bait that Boss Huang asked for. If we are not busy tomorrow, we can try the southern Yunnan-style bait and bait cubes."
Making bait silk?
Shen Jiayue ate bait silk when she was traveling and felt that it was quite different from rice noodles.
Rice noodles are generally cylindrical in shape and taste smooth and chewy, while bait noodles have obvious traces of cutting, with a soft but not sticky texture and a rich rice aroma.
Since she was making this delicacy, Shen Jiayue asked:
"Is it difficult? Do you want to take a photo?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"Let's try it first, so as not to be accused of being unauthentic."
Not only does the lack of promotion of local delicacies cause disapproval from foreign diners, but sometimes it also encounters criticism and even abuse from local people.
They are often labeled as unauthentic and blind chicken pats.
So food photographers will no longer do such a thankless job.
Lin Xu didn't plan to redeem the cooking techniques this time. He wanted to cook based on his own understanding of bait silk, so he didn't plan to film it.
If someone accuses you of being unauthentic, a new scolding war will start in the comment area.
In order for everyone to welcome the New Year happily, let’s stop taking pictures and go back to take pictures of some more reliable dishes, such as rock sugar bird’s nest.
Ordinary people don’t eat much, and rich people may not like it either.
And the mainstream consumers of bird's nest don't watch online short videos very much.
Even if there are anti-fans who want to find fault with the delicacies photographed in this situation, there is no way to find them. After all, they have never tasted them or even seen them. How can you accuse the cooking of being unauthentic?
Xie Baomin took a sip of liquor and said with a smile:
"The so-called bait silk is actually just rice cakes made from rice."
Rice cakes in most parts of the country are made of glutinous rice, which is very sticky and can be made into snacks or eaten as a dish.
But there are also ones made from rice, such as bait cubes from southern Yunnan.
Compared with glutinous rice, rice has low viscosity and high hardness, and the production process is not as simple as glutinous rice. This is why glutinous rice is used in most areas.
The glutinous rice is steamed, pounded into balls, and then placed directly into the mold and pressed into various shapes.
The process of making rice cakes is more complicated, and manual operation is more difficult. Now it is basically replaced by machines.
Lin Xu said:
"I'm going to try it with the electric stone grinder in the small kitchen. If it works, I'll make more. If it doesn't, I'll find another way."
In the traditional method, the rice needs to be steamed first and then pounded, which requires a lot of physical strength, and accidents are easy to occur during the pounding process.
So Lin Xu planned to grind the soaked rice into powder and then steam it.
Once it's steamed, it's easy. Just follow the hand-rolling method and roll the rice dough into a smooth dough. Let it cool before cutting it into shreds of the same width.
As for the bait block, it is even simpler, just use a smaller rolling dough and pound it directly.
When the surface is smooth and soft, shape the dough into a rectangular shape, let it cool, and then cut it into slices or pieces for cooking.
In addition, this kind of hard bait block can be scraped into bait silk using a special planer, just like scraping wood.
Anyway, as long as you make the bait block, you can basically use the rest as you wish.
There are many ways to eat bait silk.
Chicken soup shredded bait, crispy meat bait shredded, mutton bait shredded, fresh meat bait shredded, beef bait shredded, sour soup bait shredded, stir-fried bait shredded and other methods, you can definitely make this kind of delicacy that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Make arrangements clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
You can also eat it with the dipping water unique to southern Yunnan, allowing you to taste ten kinds of flavors in a bowl of shredded bait.
After two bowls of rice, Lin Xu drank a small bowl of snake soup and went to the small kitchen.
There is half a basin of rice soaked in it, which was soaked in the morning. At this time, the rice has been completely soaked. Not only does it seem to have expanded a little, but when you twist it with your hands, the rice becomes pulverized and has no hard core at all.
Take out the electric stone mill that has not been used for a few days, clean it first, then use a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of soup and rice and put it into the stone mill.
The low-speed motor drove the grinding disc to rotate slowly, and soon, white rice milk flowed out of the diversion port.
Lin Xu checked the thickness and adjusted the flow rate to make the pulp come out slower so that the rice could be ground more finely.
While he was busy, Shen Jiayue came over:
"Xubao, we have eaten so many snakes, will I have nightmares at night? I heard that snakes will take revenge."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Even if I want to take revenge, I will go to my senior brother. He is doing the whole process and it has nothing to do with us."
"Yeah, aren't you afraid, senior brother?"
"Senior brother, there is no word fear in the dictionary of life. If a snake really comes to seek revenge from him, there is a high probability that he will develop a new way to eat it..."
I don’t know that every year on Teachers’ Day, senior brother sends greeting cards to those teachers who don’t give them to him.
If he gives it away, it will most likely bring back painful memories to the teacher who taught him.
It is absolutely painful to teach such naughty students.
But the senior brother is not without retribution. He likes to tease the teacher so much, but in the end he marries a teacher. When he was a child, he probably repaid all his retaliation against the teacher by Teacher Su.
The stone grinding speed is very slow, but the effect is very good.
This kind of rice milk is white and has a very delicate texture. Not to mention making bait, even if it is used to steam rice noodles, the effect is probably very good.
It's a pity that I can't take care of these now. If I can't wait any longer, I must make and try all the delicacies such as rice noodles, kway teow, hand-cut noodles, rice rolls and rice rolls.
Grind the rice milk and pass it through a sieve with a coarser mesh to prevent any whole grains of rice.
As for the finely chopped ones, don’t worry about it, you may even add some intentionally, because only in this way, you will have that rich rice aroma after steaming.
The ground rice milk cannot be steamed immediately. It must be placed in a cold storage overnight to allow the rice milk to settle and clarify the water. The excess water can be decanted out in the morning before steaming.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently the best app to use, change the source app, .huanyuanapp install the latest version.]
As for why it is placed in the cold storage, it is to prevent the temperature in the kitchen from being too high and causing the rice milk to ferment.
Rice milk cannot be steamed after fermentation, otherwise it will have a sour taste.
So the best way is to put it in a low temperature environment.
Early the next morning, Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue were too lazy to cook at home and drove to the store before seven o'clock.
At this moment, Ma Zhiqiang is making meatball soup, Qi Siliang is frying fried dough sticks, and Niu Chuang from the pastry department is steaming meat rolls. Everyone is taking great pains to make the employees eat well.
Lin Xu held a fried dough stick and walked into the cold storage while eating it.
The chill when he entered made him shiver, but when he saw the completely clarified rice milk, he ignored the cold and took the basin directly to pour out the clear water.
Then take the remaining rice milk outside and knead the accumulated rice milk into a thick noodle lake state using a dough kneading method.
After everything is done, pour it into a deeper steaming tray and put it into the steaming cabinet for steaming.
"Boss, breakfast is ready!"
Ma Zhiqiang's words brought Lin Xu back to his senses. He picked up half of the fried dough stick he had just put aside and took a bite:
"Then let's eat. We'll eat more later. Maybe we need your help."
He was not sure whether the steamed rice milk could be rolled out with a rolling pin. Even if it could be rolled out, he was not sure whether it would be very hard, so he took a precaution in advance.
Once it is difficult to operate, let the good guys in the kitchen do the physical fitness test one by one.
After serving a bowl of meatball soup for himself and Shen Jiayue, Lin Xu took it outside and filled a small basket with some fried dough sticks, meat rolls, cabbage corners, sugar triangles, etc. The young couple's breakfast began.
p>
On the other side, Ren Jie was driving the Wrangler bought by his father-in-law on a relatively smooth elevated road.
In the passenger seat, Chen Yan yawned while sending a message to Shen Jiayue, asking what breakfast was in the store.
Ren Jie had a rest today. Originally, the young couple could sleep in, but because Lao Suntou had arranged a task, they got up early.
Firstly, to prevent missing the request to meet before eight o'clock, and secondly, to have breakfast in the store.
Lin Kee's staff meals are famously good, so if you don't eat, you won't get it for free.
Seeing the pictures of delicious food sent by her cousin, Chen Yan was no longer hungry for an instant, and she said angrily:
"Two days ago, Yue Yue shamelessly said that she and her brother-in-law would join forces to make braised pork elbows. I was so angry that I wanted to get you to join forces to break the deal and attack my cousin's arrogance."
Ren Jie smiled:
"This kind of thing is too dangerous, you'd better not get involved... But today I'm doing private work with Uncle Sun, you can follow me. Since it's private work, there will definitely be no accidents..."
