Chapter 153 Boss Lin, can you teach me how to make pagoda meat?
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Xu. Today I will teach you how to make a dish that can win the championship in a cooking competition - white jade lotus root."
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Lin Xu took advantage of the break.
Start shooting today’s food tutorial.
After winning the championship yesterday, this white jade lotus root thread became popular.
Everyone wants to know how to make this dish, and is also very curious about how delicious a cold vegetable dish can be to defeat the sweet potato pork and twice-cooked pork and become the champion of the Diaoyutai cooking competition?
Take advantage of the heat.
Lin Xu decided to shoot a video of White Jade Lotus Root Silk.
Let fans intuitively feel the difficulty of this dish.
In order to make the shooting effect better, he went to the import and export supermarket to buy a bottle of imported white soy sauce.
This is a commonly used seasoning in Japanese and Western food, but there are not many opportunities to use it in Chinese food.
While he was filming the video.
In Happy Media Company located in Wangjing, Chen Yan is explaining today’s live broadcast content to Wu Kexin:
"My brother-in-law has become much more famous after winning the championship. Today you go to his store to explore the store again. I just happened to ask him to make the white jade lotus root silk once, so that the fans in the live broadcast room will have a great time."
I think you want to have fun, but that dish is really tempting, but it was a pity that it was eaten by the judges before I tasted it yesterday... Wu Kexin glanced at Chen Yan, and then said:
"Okay, I'll pack up and set off later. Mr. Chen, will you go too?"
"Go, now is a critical period for your transformation. I have to control the content of the live broadcast throughout the process."
Well, I took the opportunity to have a big meal at my brother-in-law’s restaurant.
I have to think of a way to get back the money from these young couple!
The two beauties packed up the equipment for the live broadcast, then each carried their bags, went to the parking lot downstairs, and drove the white Porsche 911 towards Yingchun Street.
On the road.
Chen Yan asked while driving:
"Is there any content for the next live broadcast? Do you need me to communicate with Lin Xu in advance?"
Wu Kexin thought of her name as the overturned queen.
Said to Chen Yan:
"I want Boss Lin to teach me how to make a dish that I have failed at before. I hate the nickname Queen of Carts and want to get rid of it."
"No problem, I'll discuss this with him when I get there."
The car followed the viaduct to the North Fourth Ring Road. When we were approaching Tsinghua University, we got off the viaduct. Then we turned at the intersection and arrived at Yingchun Street.
When I just turned the corner.
Chen Yan pointed to the high school opposite Geng Lele and said:
"Lele said, that fried chicken restaurant is very delicious. If you don't have any ingredients, you can come to this store to do a live broadcast of the store visit."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll look back and pay attention."
Come to the door of Linji Food.
Chen Yan parked the car in the parking space at the door and got out of the car with a parasol.
Wu Kexin clicked on the live broadcast.
Start saying hello to friends in the live broadcast room:
"Hello everyone, my name is Xinxin. Today we will continue to do the store tour live broadcast. I regretted not eating the white jade lotus root made by Boss Lin at the competition yesterday, so I came to Boss Lin's shop today to try what the white jade lotus root has.
Only with magic power can you win the Diaoyutai cooking competition championship."
After Wu Kexin greeted the fans in the live broadcast room,
Then he turned the camera, and the door of Linji Food appeared in front of the fans.
If the thief Cao doesn't die, he will only wither: I like to watch Lin Ji's live broadcast of visiting the store.
I just want to eat and wait for death: Stop talking upstairs, your ID has been exposed.
It’s good to be a foodie: Boss Lin’s White Jade Lotus Root Silk is indeed quite curious, the anchor remembers to try it for me.
Lin Daiyu pulls up the weeping willow: I really don’t believe that vegetarian dishes can beat meat dishes, unless I try it!
Zhishen Burial Flower: You and I are actually lovers upstairs!
I, at 300 pounds, am the thinnest in the whole family: I still like to eat meat and have no interest in vegetarian dishes.
Inspirational to become a senior pastry chef: Listen to my brother’s advice upstairs and eat some vegetarian food.
A big fan of Sister Xin: One person wrote in blood begging Sister Xin to reproduce the white jade lotus root silk!
Xinxin fans are all in love: Two people wrote in blood to beg Sister Xin to reproduce the white jade lotus root silk!
……
The live broadcast room is very lively.
Many people strongly called on the anchor to reproduce the white jade lotus root silk.
But Wu Kexin ignored it.
I was just doing a live broadcast, and I never thought about crippling myself.
Open the door and enter the store.
When Wu Kexin greeted Song Tiantian, a bunch of netizens calling her wife appeared on the barrage in the live broadcast room, which made Wu Kexin happy.
These people dare to indulge in oral addiction online.
If anyone dares to come to the store and shout like that, Tiantian will definitely pick them up and throw them across the street.
When greeting Song Tiantian, Dundun, who was sleeping at the checkout counter, turned over and wrapped himself up with the small blanket next to him in his mouth.
There were a lot of barrages in the live broadcast room saying "Wrap my little quilt tighter", and some people said that they also behave like this when sleeping in an air-conditioned room.
"Hello Dundun!"
Wu Kexin rubbed Dundun's head twice, and Dundun also rubbed Wu Kexin's hand in a sensible way.
Fans in the live broadcast room were immediately enchanted by this little guy.
"Wow, what a cute little cat."
"Not only is it cute, but it also likes all kinds of tidying up. It is recommended to watch the videos shot by Boss Lin. At the end of each issue, there are clips of the tidying up, and each issue is different."
“Otherwise, where do you think Boss Lin’s hundreds of thousands of fans come from [funny]”
"Boss Lin made a notice saying that he will also make white jade lotus root silk today. I look forward to Dundun's new work!"
"..."
After Wu Kexin interacted with Dundun twice, she helped the little guy cover the blanket and walked inside.
Only then did she see that Lin Xu was filming a cooking video.
The dish being cooked is the shredded white jade lotus root that I didn’t eat yesterday.
"My family is really here today. Boss Lin is actually making white jade lotus root silk. I'll have to try it for him later."
After saying that, she came over.
He waved to the action camera that was filming:
"Hello, hello, hello, I'm Xinxin. I'm here to visit Boss Lin to explore the store. If you have any dishes you want to eat, you can leave a message in the barrage. I'll supervise Boss Lin to cook."
Although there are overlaps between short videos and live broadcasts, the fans on both sides are not completely overlapping, so this kind of small surprises and small interactions can greatly increase the mutual attention of fans on both sides.
"Is Boss Lin okay? I wanted to try it yesterday but I couldn't get it. The judges and teachers ate it all."
Lin Xu had just used a fine-mesh sieve to stir the green peppercorns into the oil on top of the shredded lotus roots.
Hearing this, he smiled and said:
"It'll be ready soon, all that's left is plating."
After saying that, he took a clean plate and put it on the workbench, then put a piece of lotus root shreds on the plate, adjusted it slightly, so that the lotus roots were spread flat on the plate, with both ends aligned, and then spread another piece of lotus root.<
/p>
He spread the lotus root silk in one layer horizontally and one layer vertically.
In this way, the lotus root threads are laid out layer by layer for ten centimeters, forming a cube that is ten centimeters wide, ten centimeters long and ten centimeters high.
"Wow! Isn't this tachyon too flexible to use?"
"Compared to Boss Lin, my hands are as stupid as my feet."
"It's so amazing. No wonder he is the champion of the cooking competition. Just from the use of tachyons, you can see that this is not something ordinary people can compare with."
"Want to know if this dish is new in the store?"
"It's hard to tell. Even if it's new, it's probably going to be sold at a sky-high price. After all, this is a dish for entertaining distinguished guests. Diaoyutai will definitely not agree to it if it's cheap."
“I want to try it no matter how much it costs!”
Fans in the live broadcast room had a strong interest in this dish.
Now that I have watched Lin Xu make it with my own eyes, my curiosity has become even stronger.
After setting up the plate.
Lin Xu placed the plate on the automatic promotion plate rack, took a close-up with an action camera, and then entered the tasting session.
"Do you still want Dundun to come and eat?"
Wu Kexin asked curiously.
Lin Xu shook his head:
"Dundun will only come over to try meat dishes when cooking. He won't even take care of vegetarian dishes... But it just so happens that you come to try it today, so that the fans in your live broadcast room can also try it."
After saying that, Lin Xu looked at Wu Kexin's live broadcast room camera, grabbed the kitchen knife next to him and played with it.
The fans in the live broadcast room were immediately shocked:
"Holy shit, shit, he pulled out a knife on us!"
"Where are those people who shouted to draw swords before? Why are they all withered?"
"I also practiced this sword style before, and then I got the nickname Nine Fingers."
Soon.
Lin Xu and Wu Kexin took pictures of the tasting.
"Wow, this texture is so refreshing, and it also tastes like a hint of numbness from Sichuan peppercorns. It's really wonderful. No wonder I won the championship. This dish is so delicious!"
After Wu Kexin took a bite, her face was filled with surprise.
"This is the most delicious cold dish I have eaten in the past few years of live broadcasting. I can't believe it is made from lotus root. The texture and taste are so perfect!"
She ate several bites in a row, and the more she ate, the more satisfied she became.
After Lin Xu finished filming her food tasting, he began to pack up the filming equipment, prepare to edit the video during his lunch break, and then upload it to the short video platform.
While he was busy.
His sister-in-law Chen Yan walked over and discussed with him about doing a live broadcast with Wu Kexin.
"Okay, no problem. Host Wu, which dish do you want to live broadcast? I'm going to prepare it now. Let's start cooking it after the lunch rush is over."
Taking advantage of the popularity of the cooking championship, it is better to broadcast it live as early as possible, so that the popularity can continue for a while longer.
Wu Kexin said:
"Boss Lin, I want to make pagoda meat!"
Pagoda meat?
You can really try this dish.
The so-called pagoda meat is actually a variant of the pork with pickles. The pork with pickles is cut into pagoda shapes with knives, filled with sauteed prunes, and steamed over high heat for two hours.
The best pagoda meat is bright red in color and exquisite in appearance.
But as for the taste...
It is exactly the same as the braised pork with pickled vegetables. If it is not steamed thoroughly, several pieces will even be connected together when using Kuaizi's tongs, which is far less convenient than braised pork with pickled vegetables.
But because of the beautiful appearance of pagoda meat, there are certain production thresholds.
Therefore, it has become a challenge that many gourmet influencers are keen on.
Those celebrity chefs who teach cooking on the Internet don’t like to make such fancy dishes.
After confirming the pagoda meat, the fans in the live broadcast room were excited.
"Haha, Sister Xin is finally going to take action on the dishes that have been overturned in the past."
"I hope I won't lead Boss Lin into a ditch."
"Probably not. Boss Lin's knife skills are so good, pagoda meat should be a no-brainer."
"I hope Boss Lin can publicize some tips when cooking, so that we handicapped people can also have the opportunity to challenge these difficult dishes."
"I don't recommend cooking this dish if you have a handicapped person, it will easily add a piece of meat [funny]"
"Yes, if you don't cut the meat on your hands, it will be a lot of fun."
Soon, it was time for lunch.
When Shen Jiayue came to get the lunch box, Lin Xugang brought down the braised pork stewed in a casserole from the stove.
"Wakaka, my braised pork!"
Shen Jiayue couldn't help but salivate when she saw the braised pork, and she kept showing off to her cousin Chen Yan:
"Yesterday, my Xubao made braised pork for me. It tasted delicious. I even said I would leave a few pieces for you, but I didn't expect you didn't come."
Chen Yan sneered.
You are so stubborn, you can kill me if I come.
Wait...braised pork?
I will eat two more pieces of braised pork later. It has caused such great harm to my young heart. Is it not too much for me to eat two more pieces of braised pork?
At the beginning of lunch.
Wu Kexin and Panda, who came to pick up lunch boxes, were doing live broadcasts together, while the others were sitting at a dining table not far away to eat.
"Wow, this braised pork tastes so good. Brother-in-law, your cooking skills are really good!"
At this moment, Chen Yan no longer had to worry about getting fat from the braised pork. She just wanted to eat two more pieces of rice and enjoy herself.
Fat but not greasy texture, salty and sweet taste, rich fragrance, thick soup... The more Chen Yan eats, the more delicious it becomes, even more delicious than the 599 braised pork served in some private restaurants in Shanghai.
Of course, the most intuitive thing is that the braised pork served in 599 is only a big piece, and it is for one person. Even Chen Yan's appetite would have to eat two of them together, let alone someone with a bigger appetite.
And Lin Xu cooked more than ten kilograms of meat at a time today.
After a group of people ate for a long time, there was still more than half left, which was much better than the braised pork served one person at a time.
After the meal, Shen Jiayue and Panda left with their lunch boxes.
Wu Kexin was also lazy and put the live broadcast mobile phone high in the corner, allowing fans to intuitively feel the terrifying passenger flow during the lunch peak of Linji Food.
After noon.
The store was in a mess.
When the waiters are cleaning.
Wu Kexin took off the live broadcast mobile phone.
Lin Xu also prepared a square piece of pork belly about 20 centimeters long in the kitchen and some unused prunes that had been soaked in the morning.
These are the ingredients used to make pagoda meat.
In addition to these two things, pagoda meat also needs another very important prop - a mold.
The so-called mold is a square cone-shaped container that is similar to an upside-down pyramid. Put the cut pagoda meat upside down, then put the prunes on top, steam it and then flip it upside down on a plate.
The pagoda meat that everyone loves.
This container is for modeling.
In fact, in ancient times, molds were used to make this dish, but it was not a stainless steel container, but a conical bowl, a porcelain bowl specially used to make similar dishes.
But now, these types of molds have all been replaced by stainless steel products.
After the live broadcast starts.
Lin Xu first said hello to the fans in the live broadcast room.
After introducing the ingredients and utensils to be used, we started to make it.
He put the piece of pork belly into the pot, added water, green onion, ginger and cooking wine, and cooked it over high heat.
After boiling, skim off the scum, then add a few peppercorns, star anise and bay leaves to add some base flavor to the pork. It can also effectively remove the odor in the pork.
Cook for about thirty minutes. When the pork is cooked through, turn off the heat and take it out.
Then spread a layer of honey on the surface of the pig skin while it's hot. This way, the caramelization reaction of the sugar can be used to color the pork when frying.
"Damn it, isn't Boss Lin afraid of getting burned?"
"What a ruthless iron hand. This piece of meat just out of the pot must be 10 degrees hot, right?"
"No wonder the cooking is so delicious, it even gives me a workout for my hands."
"I originally wanted to learn, but I gave up decisively when I saw Boss Lin's operation. My thin and tender hands don't allow me to do this!"
Wu Kexin next to her was also a little curious:
"Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
“Once you get used to it, you won’t feel hot anymore.”
He placed the evenly spread pieces of meat in front of a fan to dry out the moisture. Taking advantage of this time, he placed the oil pan on the stove, turned it on to high heat, and prepared to fry it.
When the oil temperature in the pot reaches 50% hot.
Lin Xu took the pieces of meat that had been dried and put them into the oil pan with the skin down.
"Zila..."
There was a violent sound, and the hot oil in the pot began to boil violently.
Lin Xu covered the pot and waited until there was no more noise in the pot before lifting the lid, turning the meat over and continuing to fry.
Wait until the meat in the pot is fried.
Lin Xu took out the pieces of meat and put them into ice water to let the pig skin peel off.
Twenty minutes later, he took the pork out. The tiger skin patterns had formed and were still very beautiful.
"At this time, you can actually make pagoda meat, but the pork in this state is not easy to cut. The fat part will feel melted when you cut it. If you are not careful, you will make mistakes, so you need to put it in the freezer.
Let the meat shape for a while so that it can be cut better."
He wrapped the meat in a plastic bag and placed it under the freezer. After placing it, he pressed two thick pieces of ice on the meat. The purpose of this was to flatten the meat and make it easier to cut into a pagoda shape. While waiting for the meat to be frozen, Lin Xu was not idle. He went back to his place of residence, took his laptop to the store, edited the video of white jade lotus root silk, and chose to upload it.
"Holy crap! I just discovered that Boss Lin edited it himself."
"He actually has no team or assistant. He does everything by himself from shooting to editing."
"He has crossed a boundary, he has crossed a boundary again!"
"As expected of the king of crossovers, the video editing is also excellent. There are so many materials, and they can be edited so simply and directly. I still have to think about using photos for a long time to make a slideshow."
"I won't be surprised at all if Boss Lin really knows how to care for sows one day."
"..."
After Lin Xu uploaded the video.
Take out the almost frozen meat pieces and prepare to cut the meat.
At this moment, the meat is slightly frozen, but not frozen, which is the best state for cutting. Moreover, the meat has been pressed very flat in the freezer, which will make it much easier to cut later.
He turned the mold upside down on the piece of meat and cut off the excess meat on the four sides.
These meats can be minced later and stir-fried with the pickled vegetables to make the steamed pickled pickles more delicious.
After finalization.
Lin Xu took the kitchen knife and started to cut the meat.
He put the meat on the edge of the eucalyptus board, and placed an iron basin next to the eucalyptus board.
Then cut along the edge of the meat piece with a knife. The thickness is about five or six millimeters. There is still about half a centimeter before the meat is cut off. Stop the knife, roll the meat piece over, lift up the piece of meat just cut off, and continue to cut it vertically.
Cut downward.
When cutting to the edge, there will be half a centimeter left, then continue to roll and continue cutting.
Place the cut meat slices in a basin on one side. Do not hang them all the time, otherwise they will easily break.
Cut the meat into smaller pieces.
But it never disconnected.
Wu Kexin on the side looked dumbfounded. She finally realized that this dish was not something that her ordinary cooking skills could handle. It was a huge test for her knife skills, patience and physical strength.
And most importantly.
Don’t be too slow when cutting, but cut quickly.
Otherwise, after the meat is completely melted, it will be impossible to cut, and all efforts will be in vain.
Lin Xu cut the pieces of meat and put them in a basin, then poured in the sauce made from soy sauce, fermented bean curd, white sugar and other condiments, and marinated the meat pieces.
Then gather it back into a whole piece of meat, put the meat skin down into the mold.
Press again to make the pagoda shape more perfect.
Finally, pour the remaining sauce in the basin and let the meat continue to marinate in the mold.
After doing this.
He washed and chopped the soaked prunes.uuReading
Then use the cut off pork belly scraps to stir-fry until dry, then put it into the mold and fill the remaining space.
Finally, pour a large spoonful of the original meat soup and put the mold into the steaming cabinet for steaming.
"Huh... No wonder it's not done well. I'm tired just looking at it."
Seeing Lin Xu put the mold into the steaming cabinet, Wu Kexin breathed a long sigh of relief.
I regret choosing this dish.
Boss Lin did it so perfectly this time, so next time I try to reproduce it, if there are any slight flaws, the fans will be upset...
If I had known, I wouldn’t stick to choosing three.
That one should be simpler than pagoda meat.
When she was crying secretly.
Dou Wenjing, who had completed the resignation procedures, walked into the door of Linji Food while carrying the office supplies she took with her when she resigned from the company:
"Boss Lin, Mr. Shen said that your company is short of a general manager, and I'm here for an interview..."
