The three of them drank hot tea while enjoying the whistling autumn wind from the northwest. They watched the sun gradually begin to move westward, and the setting sun dyed the distant clouds into bright yellow. The beautiful scenery looked unique.
The first dish that came was the hot and cold platter, beef with five-spice sauce.
Cut the raw donkey meat into large pieces and put it into a pot. Add enough water until the donkey meat is covered. Wash the donkey meat with your hands to remove the blood and water in the donkey meat and reduce the fishy smell inside the donkey meat.
.
When the water in the steamer turns red, take out the donkey meat and pour out the blood. Put the donkey meat back into the pot and add water to soak it. Change the water according to the degree of discoloration of the water. Wait until the blood in the donkey meat is completely leached out by the water.
Keep the water in the donkey meat until it does not change color seriously.
The donkey meat that has completely removed the blood is ready to be marinated: add green onions, ginger, pepper, salt, light soy sauce, and rice wine, and mix evenly with your hands. During the process, you can rub and squeeze the donkey meat with your hands to let the donkey meat add in more.
The marinating process takes at least three hours.
After marinating, take out the donkey meat, pick up the green onions and ginger, and pour out the remaining blood. Place a steamer in the pot, place the donkey meat on top, add cold water to cover the meat pieces, boil over high heat and skim off the remaining blood.
foam, add the green onion and ginger used when marinating donkey meat, as well as an appropriate amount of light and dark soy sauce, rock sugar, salt, soybean paste and sweet noodle sauce, as well as a five-spice braised pork bun made of a combination of various spices to keep the donkey meat moist.
Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for one hour, then turn off the heat and simmer for three hours. Take out the donkey meat and tear it into appropriate sizes before placing it on a plate and serving it.
As for the cold dishes, they are cut into thin slices after cooling and served on the plate.
A dinner plate as big as a face plate was filled with donkey meat in a ring shape, especially the hot part. The overflowing aroma of meat flowed into the noses of several people along with the cool breeze, and the hot aroma rose up, making it warm.
Except for the green leafy vegetables in the middle, the entire plate is full of donkey meat.
"Here, while it's hot!" The next second Liu Mo picked up the chopsticks, he remembered what Li Xiao said at the beginning, paused, and then urged Li Xiao.
"Then let's start now!" Li Xiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of hot and cold donkey meat in sauce, put them on his dinner plate, greeted the two of them to eat, and then turned his attention back to himself.
of donkey meat.
"It may not look realistic enough through the camera, so let me describe the state of this hot donkey meat."
Because the donkey meat is freshly cooked, it is unlikely to be cut into small enough pieces, so when it was served, disposable gloves were prepared for everyone to grab and eat.
Li Xiao put on her gloves, picked up a piece of donkey meat and started tearing it apart under the camera.
The texture of the plump donkey meat was torn apart layer by layer under Li Xiao's movements, and the stewed soup and fat were squeezed out, dripping onto the dinner plate.
"This donkey meat is almost filled with miso soup, and it's full of meaty aroma whenever you grab it."
Li Xiao controlled himself as much as possible not to lick his gloves, and put the torn off donkey meat into his mouth.
"The moment you enter your mouth, you will be greeted by the aroma of the base ingredients exploding, followed by the donkey meat flowing with the fragrant miso soup."
"Two parts of chewy skin, eight parts of soft and delicious donkey meat, the taste is both tender and full of elasticity."
Because the tearing was more casual, and because the taste of donkey meat was so addictive, Li Xiao actually finished most of the hot donkey meat on the plate in two or three mouthfuls.
He put down his gloves and decided to eat slowly in order not to let the cold and hot donkey meat interact with each other.
Li Xiao picked up his teacup and sipped the delicious tea.
"Brother, why don't you continue eating? Isn't it to your liking?" Liu Mo looked at Li Xiao's paused movements and was puzzled as he ate, his mouth full of oil. "Even if you eat less, we will still share the meal equally later."
It’s free.”
"I was shocked because the donkey meat was so delicious." Li Xiao put down the teacup half-jokingly, savoring the fragrance of the tea.
He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a thin piece of donkey meat in cold meat sauce.
Compared to the "fat and oily" hot plate just now, this cold plate can be said to be almost incomparable to the meat just now.
Talking about the aroma, the hot donkey meat in sauce caught the noses of several people from the moment it was served. The smell of this cold dish can only be said to be a weakened version of hot donkey meat. If you don’t smell it carefully, it will easily overwhelm the hot plate.
past.
As for the appearance, the cold and elastic meat slices make people feel like they are eating snacks.
"Let's try the cold cuts again." Li Xiao put his nose close to the piece of meat. Maybe it was because the hot dishes were too strong for the flavor, so he took a few more breaths but still couldn't smell anything particularly prominent.
Put the sauced donkey meat on the chopsticks into your mouth. It is also salty and fragrant, but the difference is that the texture of this piece of meat is completely different from the hot donkey meat.
It can't be said that he is elastic. Li Xiao can only say that he is almost eating a "spring".
Same parts, almost completely different flavors.
"A very chewy cold dish." Li Xiao commented while chewing, and the expression on his face began to "exercise": "I don't know what kind of processing method was used, it can be said that there is an illusion that it is not chewy.
.”
"And the skin even has a crispy feeling similar to that after deep frying."
"It's hard to believe that it's obviously donkey meat in sauce, but there are two completely different styles due to the difference in temperature."
"The hot sauced donkey meat tastes like a warm and hospitable beauty. The plump and flexible limbs are full of seductive beauty."
"And the donkey meat in sauce, which is served as a cold dish, tastes like an icy beauty, who cares about you but has a damn charm. The more you taste it, the better it becomes, making people want to stop."
“Donkey meat is made from the strong tendons of donkeys, and its texture can be said to be completely superior to any other meat that has been eaten before.”
"I have tried and tasted the deliciousness of donkey meat in Ganzhou before, but today's meal can be said to be completely different in level of deliciousness."
"If the previous portion of donkey meat in sauce was entry level, then the one I had today can be said to be nightmare or even hell level."
"It refers to the degree of deliciousness."
"If this hot and cold dish were served one after another, the progression and layers of taste might be more distinct, but it is still very creative and full of personality when served at the same time. I can give it 95 points!"
Studio:
"Is that serious about how oily it is?"
"I only care about watching the host fighting with the cold dishes and struggling with my teeth! It looks so funny!"
“Have you ever noticed that the two brothers’ eating looks as the backdrop are really unflattering!”
"Now I don't doubt that the anchor is taking money from the store. I suspect that the two brothers are taking money from the store for advertising (doge)"
"Didn't you hear what people above said just now that they don't take orders easily?"
"Although the chef in this restaurant looks rather arrogant, he still seems worthy of being arrogant."
“I feel like he looks like a stubborn little old man in terms of appearance and temperament!”
"The elderly people upstairs are a little disrespectful!"
"I hope the person upstairs takes back what he said. After all, among other things, older people still need to be more respectful."
······
There was no one to add rice to the table, but there was a steaming rice cooker on the table next to it, and a sign was placed next to it telling people that they could serve their own rice.
"Speaking of which, according to the name on the menu, there will be a donkey meat spring roll on the menu later. I don't know what it tastes like." After almost eating the donkey meat in sauce on the table, the Liu brothers had the time to speak.
He took off his gloves and began to mutter, "The sauced donkey meat is excellent with wine and rice. It's also very delicious when eaten dry. It should be said that I am a chef who retired from a high-end hotel."
Liu Min nodded, looking like he still had something to say.
Several people had an appetizing appetite, and were looking forward to the next donkey meat yellow noodles.
Not long after, another item was presented.
The waiter carried a large dinner plate with three large bowls on it and distributed them to several people one by one.
Li Xiao looked down and saw that the bowl as big as his face contained sauteed noodles mixed with mushrooms and minced donkey meat.
The orange-yellow noodles are thick and thin, with the fragrance of mushrooms and donkey meat overflowing, and a strong alkaline taste.
"This noodle doesn't seem to be anything special."
Not only is it nothing special, it's even a bit monotonous.
After eating the pure donkey meat in sauce, a bowl of noodles was served. I have to say that it gave people the feeling of being suddenly served with light side dishes after eating delicacies from all over the world.
"It's not finished yet." Liu Min didn't move his hands and looked at the waiter.
"Yes, there is a lot of donkey meat and yellow noodles, so it has to be served in two batches," the waiter replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, another waiter came to the table carrying a larger dinner plate.
First, each of the three people placed a bowl of bright red chili vinegar water in front of them, and then placed three stacks of reddish-brown donkey meat. After putting these down, he nodded and greeted the group of people: "Gentlemen, this is donkey meat yellow noodles.
If you need any other flavors, you can also suggest them.”
"Is there any spicy food?" Li Xiao asked.
"Yes." The waiter responded and went back to get it.
"Let's eat first, eat first." Liu Mo picked up the chopsticks with a look of impatient expression, "Although this donkey meat yellow noodles don't look as stunning as the pure meat noodles just now, we can't live up to the staple food!"
After greeting him, Liu Mo started eating directly.
Li Xiao took his time and put the camera on the yellow noodles first, letting the audience fully appreciate the donkey meat yellow noodles, and then started to comment.
"The yellow noodles give people a strong alkaline taste like hand-made noodles. The donkey meat must be a different part than before, maybe to differentiate the taste."
Compared with ordinary noodles, the main difference in how to make donkey meat yellow noodles lies in the sauerkraut inside.
First take out a part of the donkey meat in special sauce and cut it into slices so that you can eat it with the juice later. Then set aside some and cut it into fine pieces. Then prepare minced tofu and shiitake mushrooms.
Heat oil in a pan, add shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry until fragrant, then add donkey meat and stir-fry, then add water and tofu, add salt, oil and dark soy sauce to season, turn to medium heat and simmer for ten minutes until the color of the soybeans turns
Just dark color.
Experienced chefs can make the sautee into a curry form, but most people actually need to use the method of adding starch to make thick sautee. Whether this method is good or not, one of the disadvantages is that it is easy to convert the sautee itself.
The taste is covered up, resulting in the loss of its own deliciousness.
One of the advantages of using starch is that it is easy to thicken, and you don’t have to worry too much about overcooking the sauerkraut, which will cause a burnt taste. But in any case, you can make it by controlling the heat without using starch.
This is a mellow and thick saozi, and its craftsmanship can be said to be at its peak.
When the sautee is ready, put the noodles pulled out by hand into a pot of water, add a little salt and cook until cooked. When putting it on the plate, add the prepared sautee, mix half and leave half.
As for the chili vinegar water, it is prepared by adding vinegar to the chopped chili peppers and adding minced onions and garlic.
"Let's first try how this yellow noodle dumpling tastes alone." Li Xiao picked up a few noodles in the bowl with chopsticks. He pulled the long noodles for a while and couldn't finish it, so he had to simply use them.
The chopsticks were broken.
Because it has been thoroughly stirred with shiitake mushroom paste, the plain yellow noodles also carry the rich aroma of donkey meat and shiitake mushrooms.
"The noodles taste chewy, and the alkaline content is just right, so you don't feel that stuffy when you eat them." Li Xiao slurred the noodles in his mouth, leaving a streak of sauerkraut sauce at the corner of his mouth.
trace.
He licked the sauce from the corner of his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
“Try adding some donkey meat in sauce.”
He aimed his chopsticks at Xiaodie who was placed next to his bowl. Although it was called Xiaodie, it actually looked "small" because it was compared with the big bowl. In fact, it was as big as Li Xiao's palm.
The donkey meat in sauce above is warm, and after picking it up with chopsticks, you can obviously see it shaking twice very elasticly.
"It is said that the more authentic taste is to eat it dipped in this chili vinegar water, so let's do as the Romans do and give it a try."
As soon as the sauced donkey meat is put into the chili vinegar water, the original color of the meat turns orange-red, and it is also stained with rich minced ginger and garlic, which is full of ingredients.
Li Xiao smelled the sauced donkey meat soaked in chili vinegar water and had an indescribable feeling. It almost completely changed the taste.
He tentatively licked the chili vinegar water on it before taking a bite.
The strong sourness of aged vinegar combined with the spiciness of crushed dried chili peppers, and the spiciness and unique fresh aroma of fresh ginger and garlic, combined with the sauced donkey meat, exploded in Li Xiao's mouth.
"I don't know how to describe this shock..." Li Xiao's tongue became numb from the taste, "It's a very strong taste."
"The sourness and spiciness are both extreme. The two flavors begin to compete with each other in the mouth, but they will not cover up the tender and smooth meaty flavor of donkey meat."
"It should be said that it is truly the meat of a dragon in the sky and the meat of a donkey on the earth."
"Even with such a heavy-flavored dipping sauce, it can still maintain its own flavor."
"This dipping sauce is not an ordinary thing that can be mixed casually. If the ingredients are not fresh enough or the processing method is not good enough, it will not be able to compete with such a domineering taste."
