The donkey meat has a completely different flavor from the simple donkey meat in sauce. Li Xiao finally understood why this yellow noodles was served after the previous platter of donkey meat in sauce.
If you have tried this kind of spicy and "mixed-flavored" chili vinegar water-soaked donkey meat at the beginning, I am afraid that nothing else you eat will be more flavorful than this.
All in all, this bowl of donkey meat with yellow noodles and minced mushrooms is chewy and refreshing, the minced tofu is soft and chewy, and the donkey meat is tender and delicious. As for the sauced donkey meat dipped in chili and vinegar water, it is full of flavor. Whoever eats it knows that."
"Sour and refreshing".
"This bowl of yellow noodles is excellent in terms of taste, color and texture. It is worthy of Mr. Chen, who has been a chef for 30 years." Li Xiao unknowingly finished a whole bowl of noodles as he ate.
The big yellow noodles in the bowl were cleaned up, and Li Xiao couldn't help but belched. He picked up some of the remaining jelly at the bottom of the bowl with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. His face was full of approval.
“This bowl of donkey meat yellow noodles gets a well-deserved 95 points!”
Studio:
"Just now there was a big plate of donkey meat in sauce, and now we have one plate for each person, and the portion is not small. This store has really good food!"
"With such a big deal, doesn't this store need to make money?"
"A reasonable guess, the donkey meat in the store should be charged according to the portion, right?"
"Looking at it this way, it's so much. This meal costs at least a thousand, right? It's a bit exaggerated to spend so much just eating a meal."
"If you really say that, wouldn't this boss make a living if he cooks a meal?"
"Don't tell me upstairs, the price of donkey meat has always been very impressive."
"Hey, hey, this anchor's score today is a bit exaggerated!"
"Is this really not paid by the boss? I don't believe it!"
"I am a local and have heard of this hotel. I also stayed in this hotel during my graduation trip. I really didn't realize that there is a restaurant on the top floor! We lived on the cheap top floor at that time, but the rooftop
It’s not open…”
"Is it possible that this shop is really that arrogant? It doesn't even cook when you pay for it?"
"It's not arrogant, right? It should be said that the chef is more ambitious?"
······
Li Xiao ate all the yellow noodles in his side, while the two brothers of the Liu family over there had already placed an empty bowl in front of them, holding their cheeks and watching Li Xiao's live broadcast with interest on their faces.
"Brother, tell me, how much money does Li Xiao earn from live broadcasting in one day?"
"You're just a person who reads reviews for others, and you don't earn much more than we do by placing an order, right?"
"Too."
Although the two people lowered their volume when talking, Li Xiao's hearing was sensitive. Even if the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't hear it, Li Xiao had unreasonable associations.
Although Li Xiao's income is not an exaggeration, the "one order" the two brothers mentioned does not sound like an ordinary job...
"Speaking of which, the next dish is roasted donkey meat, right? It seems to be considered a staple food. Two staple foods in this meal are a bit exaggerated, right?" Li Xiao looked at the names on the menu. The ones that have not yet been served are donkey meat roasted and
A bowl of after-dinner ice powder.
"This shouldn't be something we should worry about." Liu Min said, picking up the teacup on the table and swallowing it in big gulps. His heroic appearance was completely incompatible with the small tea set, but it gave people a sense of refreshment inexplicably.
: "This is a set meal. If you can't finish it, it will be the boss who will be embarrassed."
Before he finished speaking, the waiter came up with something again.
Compared to its name, the way the donkey meat looks like it's burning looks more like pieces of sandwich biscuits.
A "biscuit" about the size of two fingers and one finger thick, with a crispy brown skin and bread crumbs, and donkey meat coated in thin flour in the middle, which also exudes a slight sweetness.
The traditional roasted donkey meat is not so much a biscuit, but a sandwiched white flour pancake similar to northern flatbread.
With donkey meat as the filling, the part that requires a lot of work is naturally the donkey meat inside.
Clean the donkey meat first, and then start to mix the spices: cloves, nutmeg, star anise, grass fruit, cinnamon, fennel, angelica and licorice in a certain proportion wrapped in a clean cloth bag, cut onions, ginger and garlic, soak in the blood
Put the donkey meat into the pot, add spices and water and start to stew. During this period, skim off the scum and add the oil-consuming dark soy sauce and other steps. Stew on low heat for three hours. Turn off the heat and let the donkey meat follow.
The marinade inside is left to settle overnight.
After that, start preparing for the fire.
Knead the dough and make ghee: Add pepper and salt to the hot oil in a ratio of one to one and stir evenly. Roll out the dough thinly, apply ghee and roll it up, cut it into pieces, continue to roll it out thinly and then roll it up again. This step
It needs to be done at least three times in order to make the roasting richer in texture and taste smooth and chewy.
The cooked donkey meat is first fried in a pan until both sides are golden brown, and then placed in the oven to bake until the center swells. The more swollen, the more space the donkey meat can be placed. The prepared donkey meat is rich in ingredients and is the best.
Good donkey meat grilled.
Cut the donkey meat in the middle to leave room for the donkey meat. Add the prepared donkey meat to your favorite ingredients and side dishes, chop it into small pieces and stuff it into the middle of the roast. A donkey meat roast is completed.
This method sounds simple, but the most difficult step is not the processing of the donkey meat, but the burning.
If there is too little flour or not enough ghee on a piece of roasted food, no matter how beautiful the color is when you fry it, it will only have a single layer of crispy skin after it comes out of the oven and will not bulge out. It may be delicious when eaten alone.
, but it cannot become a donkey meat dough.
"Is this roasted donkey meat made into a snack?" Li Xiao took out a piece from the plate, wrapped it in bread crumbs and fried it. The roasted donkey meat was even more round than it actually looked. Although it was small, it was
But extremely delicate.
"Without further ado, let's try it first." Li Xiao didn't comment much on the burning of the piece of donkey meat on the chopsticks. The Liu brothers didn't say anything and watched Li Xiao pick up the things and began to put them on the plate non-stop.
Put your chopsticks inside.
Should I say that they really deserve to be food-eaters, or do the two brothers have different appetites than ordinary people?
Li Xiao felt his stomach was slightly full, and put the donkey meat into his mouth with a pair of chopsticks.
The moment he entered his mouth, there was a crisp "click-click" sound from the crispy dough being bitten by his teeth. The crispy texture reminded him of the old man who sold crispy rice cakes at the school entrance when he was a child.
“The skin is very crispy.”
The skin is bitten open, and what follows is the donkey meat.
Different from the previous two donkey meat dishes, this donkey meat actually has a bit of toughness and chewiness in it.
Li Xiao tasted it carefully and guessed that it was probably because the soaked dried carrots were used as a side dish.
"Generally speaking, the donkey meat in the donkey meat roasting has been stewed and marinated for a long time. The most common manifestation is that it has a soft texture and is easy to chew. However, because the donkey meat in the donkey meat roasting in this store is added with about
Dried carrots, after soaking, retain the toughness of dried vegetables, making up for the lack of taste of donkey meat inside, which can be said to be very unexpected."
According to what most people are exposed to, dried carrots are probably in the seasoning packets of instant noodles. Who would have thought that it could actually appear as a side dish with donkey meat in donkey meat barbecue?
"Donkey meat tastes very fragrant, and the ratio of spices is ideal. The stewed donkey meat is fat and lean, but it is not greasy or dry. The juice inside instantly splashes out in your mouth when you take a bite.
, a mouthful of fragrance.”
"The crispy texture of this dough makes you feel like you are eating snacks the more you eat it."
"It doesn't have the thin texture of potato chips that you can eat in daily life, but it is thick and has the rich aroma of crispy rice made in a second pot."
"In terms of taste, it has the salty and delicious flavor of donkey meat in sauce, and the aroma of oil boiling in the frying pan. Judging from the texture, the outside is crispy, and the inside is soft and slightly chewy.
Jin, it’s really a great donkey meat roasted on fire.”
“Judging from the order of serving, although it is eaten daily as a staple food, after the yellow noodles, it transformed into an exquisite snack. I have to say that the arrangement is very clever and interlocking, making it very comfortable to eat.
"
"This donkey meat roasting dish will make the chef proud if I give it 95 points."
After saying that, Li Xiao raised his chopsticks and put it into the plate that was eaten by the two Liu brothers in an instant.
Studio:
"Listen, listen, does the voice coming from this anchor's mouth really exist?"
"That crisp voice, that oily donkey meat, and that incredibly beautiful expression, I want to take the place of the anchor and personally fight against fakes! (Funny)"
"One dozen fakes every day! (No)"
“I seriously doubt this is the donkey meat roast I’ve eaten before! Boss, refund my money! (doge)”
"I have never seen donkey meat pancakes baked on fire. This small and exquisite look is really unique!"
"They say it's donkey meat roasted on fire, but it actually looks more like spring rolls, right?"
"I also feel a bit like spring rolls."
"Has anyone calculated how much they spent on this meal?"
"I only saw the rapidly decreasing amount of food on the plate, and I was surprised that everyone on the table was a cook."
"No, after the donkey meat yellow noodles that can be described as a basin just went down, why don't you let them eat enough?"
"The person who does the work belongs to you."
······
The three of them were eating at the dining table. When they got to the back, there were only about a dozen small "cakes" left. Li Xiao put down his chopsticks and did not continue because there was another dessert to follow.
"Brother, why don't you continue eating?" Liu Mo started to smack his mouth. He was a little confused when he saw Li Xiao suddenly put down his chopsticks, but his speed of putting down his chopsticks was not affected at all.
"If I eat any more, I won't have the stomach for ice powder." Li Xiao leaned back on the chair, with surprise in his voice: "With this amount of food and this speed, I really can't stand it."
In just two sentences, the amount of donkey meat on the plate was reduced by half.
Hearing Li Xiao's words, the two of them slowed down a little embarrassedly, thinking that their cooking speed had frightened Li Xiao: "If you haven't eaten enough, you can tell us and you can continue to add more."
"You are the ones. If you think it's not enough, just add more." Li Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.
"Don't think we eat so much. In fact, the main work we do is physical work, and if it takes effort, we can naturally eat more." Liu Min misunderstood the way Li Xiao looked at them and explained.
"Um."
The waiter waiting at the door watched several people stop eating and brought them the last thing.
The freshly made ice powder still had a hint of coolness. Several people had been eating on the open balcony, but now they looked a little hesitantly at the cold air rising from the bowls.
"Speaking of which, isn't this weather no longer suitable for eating ice cream?" Liu Mo asked.
A few of them arrived at the hotel in the afternoon. By the time they had eaten the three things, the sun was already setting. Seeing that the flaming clouds on the horizon were about to be swallowed up by darkness, a slightly cold wind gradually began to blow.
"Maybe it's because donkey meat is easier to get angry when eaten over fire?" Li Xiao began to guess whether Mr. Chen might be a southerner.
But anyway, it is already late autumn, and serving such a bowl of ice powder is really a test of diners' willpower.
"I can still keep fighting!" Liu Mo touched the edge of the bowl and picked up the spoon without any further hesitation, "The color is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to eat it."
He's right.
As a bowl of ice powder, this bowl of ice powder is really pretty.
The red and white dragon fruit, the bright mango, the black and white grass jelly, and the crushed peanuts and sesame seeds sprinkled on top, combined with the transparent ice powder stained by brown sugar water, look as rich as a fruit platter.
.
"This season, these fruits seem to be out of season, right?" Liu Min was a little strange, "won't they taste bad?"
"It's delicious!" Liu Mo's words left Liu Min speechless.
"My brother is a foodie." Liu Min smiled helplessly, carefully scooped up a mouthful with a spoon, and his eyes lit up when he put it into his mouth.
"Brother, I feel like I'm going to become a foodie too." He patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and gave him an approving look.
Li Xiao looked at the ice powder in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.
"Is it because I have seen less of them on the market? If these fruits were grown in a greenhouse, they wouldn't be in such good quality... Is it possible that this boss also uses a special delivery method?"
Li Xiao's guess was correct. In order to present the dishes in the most ideal way, Mr. Chen has always used expensive planes to send them from the fruit base in the south.
The preparation of ice powder is actually very simple: put the ice powder into a pot and boil until it boils, let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate it.
But there is another kind of ice powder that needs to be rubbed by hand, which is most praised by people:
Rub the sage seeds into water to get the pectin, boil it over high heat, and then let it cool at room temperature.
The steps can be described in two sentences, but they are not ordinary.
First of all, the basin in which the pectin is rubbed must not contain oil. Secondly, the clean water needs mineral water to better integrate with the pectin. Then, it cannot be refrigerated in the refrigerator.
Another thing is to eat the hand-kneaded ice powder as soon as possible after making it to ensure the best taste, otherwise it will become hard.
