Yan Nanrong wanted to rush to the kitchen, but Yan Xingxuan couldn't stop him from behind, so he could only speed up his pace and follow him.
When Yan Xingxuan and others came over, Xiao Nianzhi had just made peace with the noodles and was waiting for them to wake up.
Of course, she is not idle either, she is already processing the ribs.
I want to eat meat today, so as soon as I get the ingredients, I will already be arranging them at noon in Laishun.
When it was delivered, Xiao Nianzhi and the others happened to get up. Thinking that some dishes needed time, Xiao Nianzhi brought someone over.
Yan Changxia is addicted to lighting fires, and she is unwilling to leave even on a hot day.
Fortunately, the servants were quick-sighted and built two more earthen stoves outside, which were not so hot to use.
They watched as Xiao Nianzhi kneaded the noodles, while Xiao Nianzhi handled the ribs, and Yan Changxia started to light the fire.
Zheng Qingran was there to hand-deliver the condiments.
After blanching the ribs, set them aside for later use.
Xiao Nianzhi went to cut potatoes and beans again. When she saw Yan Xingxuan coming over, she didn't treat him as an outsider and called him over to help.
The cook is already helping with the pork belly, so Xiao Nianzhi now lacks someone who can help with the ingredients.
Yan Xingxuan quickly cleaned his hands and came to help.
When Yan Nanrong saw that everyone was busy, he was a little overwhelmed at first.
Yan Changxia often plays with him and they have a good relationship, so she calls him over to help.
There are already two stoves burning, and she can cook one.
When Yan Nanrong saw that he had a job in hand, he felt a little more at ease.
As for pork ribs, Xiao Nianzhi plans to cook a way of eating that has been popular on the Internet for a while in modern times.
Piggy quilt.
In fact, it's just pork ribs cooked in one pot, but after several modifications, it came up with a cute and playful name.
The ribs need to be stewed in advance so that they will be more tender and flavorful.
The method of making piggy quilt is actually not complicated. One soul is the color of fried sugar, and the other is the homemade sauce of the soul.
There are more sauces, longer cooking time, strong flavor, and the taste will be good naturally.
The ribs have been blanched and are ready to use at any time.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi directly fried the sugar in oil.
After the sugar color is fried, add the ribs directly, add all the spices, then add boiling water, close the lid, and leave the rest of the time to the fire crew.
The ribs need to be cooked for a long time before they become tender and tasty.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi ignored it for the time being and turned around to deal with the pork belly that the cook had cut.
There are so many ways to eat pork belly.
After Xiao Nianzhi thought about it, he prepared to make steamed pork.
Pork belly needs to be marinated, which can not only enhance the flavor, but also ensure the tenderness of the meat.
Of course, in order to achieve tenderness, a little cooking wine or white wine needs to be added to the marinated meat.
The cook had already cut the pork belly, and Xiao Nianzhi took the onions, ginger and spices, marinated the meat, then turned around and minced the meat stuffing with the cook.
The meat for the meat filling should be 70% lean and 30% fat. Because you want to make it into meatballs later, you need some fat. This will make the meatballs stick tighter and not fall apart easily.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
In addition to the fatty meat, the meat filling also needs to be beaten repeatedly.
Xiao Nianzhi and the cook worked together, quickly chopped out the meat filling, and then beat it vigorously. Xiao Nianzhi was worried, so he started it himself.
In response to this, the cook quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest...
She usually just works as a servant and a long-term worker, and she really has no cooking skills.
So, whip it up or something...
Help, you won’t know it once you hear it!
However, it didn’t matter that she didn’t know how to season the meat. Xiao Nianzhi arranged for her to tear the eggplants by hand.
Although Yan Xingxuan and the others want to eat meat, it can't be all meat, it would be too greasy, so they have to prepare some vegetables.
In summer, eggplant and beans are very good.
The beans have already been used, and the eggplants must also be arranged.
Of course, you must also have cucumber in sesame juice, which is refreshing and relieves greasiness. It tastes delicious just thinking about it.
After beating the minced meat for a long time and feeling that the resistance on his hands was enough, Xiao Nianzhi nodded with satisfaction.
She wants to make hollow meatballs.
This dish can be steamed or fried, but it depends on personal taste and choice.
However, they have steamed pork with rice flour today, so Xiao Nianzhi is going to fry the hollow meatballs.
Although fried food is unhealthy, it tastes really delicious!
The essence of hollow meatballs lies in the hollow.
There are many articles that can be used to make hollows. You can use pig paste or pig skin jelly.
If it is steamed, pig fat is better, because after the fat is steamed at high temperature, it is completely integrated into the meatballs, and the taste will be more fragrant.
If it is fried, adding pig paste will make it look too greasy.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi is prepared to choose the latter.
It was definitely too late to make fresh pork skin jelly, but fortunately Xiao Nianzhi asked Laishun to prepare it.
The other party doesn’t know where to get it, but it’s convenient for them to have the finished product.
Moreover, it is still a seasoned finished product.
Xiao Nianzhi cut the pig skin jelly into small pieces and then started to squeeze the balls.
There is no technical difficulty in directly squeezing meatballs. In Xiao Nianzhi's opinion, it can basically be done if you have the skills.
However, if you want to add another filling in the middle of the meatballs...
It’s a bit more troublesome to operate.
However, for Xiao Nianzhi, it was not bad.
Just put a little oil on your hands to avoid the meat filling from sticking to your hands.
There were two stoves set up outside, and the steamed meat was still marinating, so Xiao Nianzhi also used the other pot.
Pour in the vegetable oil first, and when the oil temperature comes up, start making the meatballs.
Looking at her deft movements, Yan Nanrong could no longer hold back his saliva.
Suck.
Suck.
……
One voice after another, at first it was still ringing quietly in my mind.
But as the aroma of croquettes wafted out, Yan Nanrong felt that he couldn't help it anymore!
He closed his mouth tightly, fearing that he, a prince, would be so greedy that he would drool in public.
He is not afraid of embarrassment, but...
The royal family is afraid.
The royal family has already given birth to Uncle Wang, but we cannot give birth to him again!
He was afraid that his father would break his legs in anger and throw him into the imperial mausoleum!
But, it’s really unbearable!!!
The seasoned meat fillings are fried at high temperatures to create a rich meaty aroma. The vegetable oil under the original high temperature is particularly fragrant. The meatballs are fried again...
Help!
I can’t resist this scent!
Yan Nanrong couldn't bear it until his toes were on the ground. He didn't want to keep staring at the pot, so he quietly turned his head and prepared to look at something else.
Then he saw that Yan Changxia had handed over the fire to Hong Shuang who was waiting on the side, then stood up and moved to the pot, pursed her lips and asked in a low voice: "Sister, sister, this smells so good!"
Yan Xingxuan got to the other side one step ahead of her. If the oil in the pot hadn't been too hot, he would have even wanted to stick his head in...
Nothing else, this smells so delicious!!!
As soon as Yan Changxia opened his mouth, Yan Xingxuan stopped holding it and asked in a low voice: "...can you try it first?"
