"The skin of this meat swallow is authentic and has been tempered for thousands of years. The skin of the best quality is about 120 to 130 pieces per kilogram. Each piece is as big as a tofu cube. It is white in color and has thin skin. It is complete and not broken, and there is no flour."
"The quality of this pork swallow's skin is excellent. Although it is less than the best level of 120 pieces, there are still 100 pieces per kilogram, which is considered second-class!"
"Although one kilogram only means less than ten skins are made, the average weight of each skin is also a little heavier, which will lead to a huge difference in the taste of the meat swallow skin!"
"The skin of the meat swallows is different, and the cooking time is also different. If the cooking time is too long, the filling inside will taste different!"
Ye Gui ate another meat swallow: "The filling ratio of this meat swallow is quite good. Fresh fish and pork leg meat are chopped together into minced meat. Dried shrimp and water chestnuts are chopped into powder. Add an appropriate amount of bone broth and eggs.
Liquid, monosodium glutamate, Shaoxing wine, shrimp oil or refined salt, mix well with chopsticks to make the filling.”
"The ratio of fish to pork leg is 1:2, the ratio of dried shrimp to water chestnuts is 1:1. The ratio of them to minced meat is 2:5!"
"The meat stuffing made this way has the best taste. When cooked with the meat, it will be the smoothest and most chewy!"
Ye Gui carefully observed the meat swallow. Under the meticulous observation, he seemed to be able to see the ratio of sweet potato powder to meat paste inside each skin.
The boss also came over at this time: "Handsome guy, I now believe that you are a professional, and what you said is too accurate. It's just the skin part. I used many methods, but I still couldn't control the weight well!"
He sat across from Ye Gui and gave Ye Gui a bottle of Sprite on the way.
"Boss, please tell me first how you did it?"
Ye Gui took a sip of Sprite and asked with a smile.
"I just go to the vegetable market to buy pork leg, and then beat it with a hammer for three days and three nights without blinking an eye!"
Ye Gui asked curiously: "If you don't blink for three days, won't your eyes get dry?"
boss:"......"
"What I'm saying now is that it's hard for me to do skin surgery, but you ask me if my eyes are dry?"
Ye Gui immediately said seriously: "Let's talk about business. During the beating, you only used a hammer to beat it, and didn't do other steps? For example, picking out the fascia inside and taking out the tendons inside, these are very important.
It’s easy to affect the taste!”
"I have made all of these, and the ratio of pork to sweet potato flour is 1:1. No other things are added. After beating, I crush it and dry it in the sun!"
Ye Gui used chopsticks to separate the skin from the meat filling. The filling had been cooked until it was set, so you could see the intricate texture on it.
The shape is really like a swallow!
The thumb-sized meat stuffing is wrapped in swallow skin and flies into the boiling clear soup. It rises and rises several times with the boiling water, just like a swallow flying into the clouds.
In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people!
Ye Gui took a look at the swallow skin. It was as thin as white paper and its color was like jade.
He chewed it several more times and found it tasted soft, tender, tough and strong.
Chewing the meat skin slowly, Ye Gui suddenly realized: "I know why your weight has never been up to standard!"
"It's because it's not sticky enough, which means more meat is needed to maintain the texture, so you can add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice paste when making the skin!"
"One of the functions of glutinous rice paste is to increase the stickiness of meat. For example, before there was no such thing as glue, if you wanted to post any wanted notices, you would use glutinous rice paste on the wall and then stick the paper on it. You can even use glutinous rice paste to post small advertisements.
In use!"
"Another function of the glutinous rice paste is to enhance the aroma. The glutinous rice itself has a fragrant aroma, and combined with the flavor of pork and sweet potato flour, this portion of meat is delicious even without fillings!"
The boss quickly took a small notebook to memorize it: "What about the ratio? How much is better?"
"The ratio of sweet potato flour to pork is still 1:1, and the ratio of glutinous rice flour only needs to be one-tenth of them!"
The boss quickly remembered this and said: "Thank you handsome man, we will try it now!"
"Well, the proportion must be correct. As long as the proportion is correct, the cooking time can be reduced by 30 seconds!"
The boss hurried to the back. This won't happen overnight: "Handsome, let's start now. Come back and try it again tomorrow morning to see if it's right!"
Ye Gui took a bite of the meat swallow and said, "Okay!"
He finished his portion of meat swallow, paid the bill and left.
Next door is a shop selling hotpot paste.
And the boss also moved the boiler outside.
In a normal small wok, a pot of boiling seafood soup is boiling.
The soup is delicious, with the aroma of clams and a light salty taste.
When the waiter poured the ground rice milk against the edge of the pot, the rice milk made a squeaking sound when it came into contact with the hot pot edge.
Then the rice milk solidifies quickly!
First, the solidified rice milk gradually separated from the edge of the pot, and the rice milk closer to the soup also flowed in, making the soup gradually thicker.
The waiter then used a shovel to shovel the rice milk that had solidified on the side of the pot into the soup.
The milky white soup color gradually becomes darker!
It has turned into a lighter cement color!
Then the waiter added the side dishes and sprinkled a little salt. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
When it is completely boiled, all the aromas come together. It looks like a hodgepodge, but in fact it contains the supreme truth.
As for what it is, I don’t know!
In this way, a pot-side batter is ready.
Ye Gui hurried over: "Give me a portion of the pot paste!"
Fortunately, he was quick and bought the first copy!
He took a sip lightly.
"It is white, crispy, thin and moist, the soup is clear and not mushy, the food is delicate and smooth, fragrant and delicious."
