Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! Chapter 175 Baked lobster with egg yolk! Mrs. Shen’s specialty snack—fried enema!
In the kitchen, the heartbroken Chen Yan soaked the leftover rice with the remaining elbow soup, and while eating, she cried and complained about the excessive behavior of her family and relatives.
I just took a nap in the small living room upstairs.
He actually started eating downstairs without any care.
Haven't you noticed that there is a lovely, beautiful and sexy beauty missing?
"It's so abominable! I will never forgive you... hiccup!"
"Drink some water, Sister Yan, and stop talking while eating. It's easy to choke."
Shen Baobao thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Chen Yan, but Chen Yan didn't appreciate it at all:
"There is such a big table of food, but I can only eat leftovers..."
As he was talking, Lin Xu placed a portion of freshly made seaweed and egg drop soup in front of Chen Yan:
"Let me see what else is in the refrigerator and make some for you."
When he opened the refrigerator, he saw a huge Boston lobster, a huge swimming crab, grouper that he didn't bother to eat at noon, etc.
Lin Xu has no interest in swimming crabs or groupers.
But this Boston lobster...
Lin Xu thought for a while and took the lobster out.
By the way, I found some salted egg yolks, put them in a bowl and steamed them on the stove.
Well, I have long wanted to try egg yolk baked dishes.
Now that there are ready-made lobsters and ready-made egg yolks, you have to try them both high and low. Anyway, even if you overturn, your starving sister-in-law should be able to finish them.
Remove the tails of the lobster and peel out the lobster meat.
Then remove the shrimp meat from the shrimp claws and the shrimp body, and cut them into finger belly-sized dices along with the shrimp tail meat.
Use a little bit of green onion, ginger water and light soy sauce, mix well and marinate, then add corn starch and mix well, and finally add a little cooking oil to facilitate spreading when frying.
After preparation, pour oil into the pot and prepare to oil the lobster meat.
Heat the oil, put the scattered lobster meat into the pot and fry it. When frying, stir it a few times with a spoon to spread the shrimp meat and prevent it from sticking.
When the surface of the shrimp meat is fried until golden brown, remove and control the oil.
Then put the shrimp heads and tails in and fry them.
Although there is no meat here, it is still very beautiful to fry and put on the plate.
Fried the shrimp heads and tails and take them out.
Then pour out the oil in the pot, leaving a little base oil.
At this time, the salted duck egg yolk on the stove next to it has also been steamed.
Lin Xu took it out and pressed it with the blade of a knife to crush the salted duck egg yolk into powder.
After pressing, fire again.
After the oil in the pot is hot, pour the salted duck egg yolk in and stir-fry over low heat.
Soon, the salted duck egg yolk, which was originally powdery, began to foam more and more. Lin Xu took the opportunity to sprinkle a few bits of white sugar into the pot.
White sugar can neutralize the saltiness of salted duck egg yolk, making the aroma and umami of the egg yolk more intense.
Stir-fry for another half minute, pour the fried shrimp meat into the pot, and continue to stir-fry.
Wait until the egg yolk hangs evenly on the surface of the shrimp meat.
Turn off the heat and remove from the pot.
Lin Xu put the shrimp meat coated with egg yolk on the plate, and then garnished it with fried shrimp heads and tails.
As soon as I finished my work, I heard the system prompt in my mind:
"The host uses existing techniques to make excellent baked lobster with egg yolk, and is rewarded with excellent sauce technique - garlic sauce. Congratulations to the host."
Is this possible?
Lin Xu didn't expect that he just had an idea to cook a dish, and actually triggered a reward, and the reward was garlic sauce, which is currently in short supply.
What an unexpected surprise!
In the field of Chinese food, garlic sauce is widely used.
Not only can it be used to make steamed dishes, such as steamed garlic shrimp, garlic loofah and other dishes, but it is also widely used in barbecue, pot boiling, stir-frying and other cooking.
Now there is a recipe for garlic sauce.
Then I'll have to make some to taste it later.
"Brother-in-law, what did you do?"
When Lin Xu was in a daze, Chen Yan couldn't sit still due to the smell coming from here. She came over and saw the baked lobster with egg yolk, and she immediately took the plate over:
"Thank you, brother-in-law, you are the only one left with a conscience in our family."
Shen Jiayue was talking about Sister Yan's experience in the family group at the moment. When she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but grab the kuaizi and taste them.
"Wow! Shrimp baked with egg yolk is so delicious. Xu Bao, there seems to be some lobster in the refrigerator? Can you make another one tonight?"
"Okay!"
Let’s eat crayfish at night. Now you want to eat baked lobster with egg yolk.
This is forcing my father-in-law’s uric acid to rise.
Lin Xu picked up a piece of lobster meat with a kuaizi and tasted it.
Well, it tastes salty in the mouth, and the egg yolk on the outside tastes soft, sandy, and rich in flavor. The lobster meat inside the egg yolk is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and even has a kind of sweetness unique to shrimp meat.
Delicious!
Why isn’t it perfect?
Is there something missing in the approach?
Lin Xu was a little confused.
Chen Yan on the side was really enjoying herself:
"My brother-in-law's craftsmanship is really impressive, but why do I feel so wronged!"
Baby Shen quickly coaxed his cousin:
"Okay, okay, my Yanbao is so wronged that he looks like a child in his thirties... You can eat less staple food and just put your foot down. There will be crayfish in the evening."
When Chen Yan, who was feeling aggrieved, heard the word crayfish, her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Really?"
"Yes, my dad didn't enjoy it last time, so he wanted to eat it again today. Anyway, Xubao will be fine in the afternoon. Of course, if you don't want to eat it, forget it."
Chen Yan couldn't care less about her grievance when she heard it.
I finished the lobster meat on the plate with rice, and then started to look forward to the crayfish in the evening.
"I've suffered so much injustice today, so it's not too much for me to eat fifty, right?"
"Not too much, not too much."
"No, fifty is too few, let's go with sixty. I will eat sixty crayfish tonight, who is in favor and who is against?"
No one objected.
After all, not many people are eating crayfish tonight.
You can open it and eat as you like.
After eating and drinking, Chen Yan originally wanted to go to the video room on the first floor to watch an old movie, but she was worried about falling asleep and missing the crayfish at night.
So she had to return to the small living room on the second floor after Lin Xu cleaned up the kitchen.

"You two should go in and do whatever you want. Remember to be quiet. I'll keep watch for you. Don't forget to call me for dinner when I'm about to fall asleep."
How pitiful God is.
Mr. Chen is almost suffering from stress disorder.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Stinky Swallow, I'm just chatting with Xu Bao for a while."
Shen Jiayue took Lin Xu back to her room.
Although she was talking about chatting, she immediately locked the door.
I was disturbed several times.
Now I can finally give my Xu Bao a good kiss.
She turned around and was about to stage the scene of the female seal sneaking up on the male seal again when Lin Xu hugged her tightly and took the initiative to kiss the girl on the mouth.
Well, we can’t be passive defensive all the time.
Occasionally you have to take the initiative.
Only in this way can we firmly grasp the initiative in the war.
"Xubao, you know, I miss you so much every day, and I feel panicked when I can't see you."
The two of them kissed and rolled onto the bed.
Shen Jiayue hugged Lin Xu and expressed her thoughts.
When we originally opened the store, we only met twice a day.
But now that Lin Xu has gone to Diaoyutai, he can only meet once a day, and he has to say goodbye in a hurry every time. This is really torturous for Baby Shen.
Lin Xu said:
"When you get engaged after this cooking competition, do you think it's okay if I take you back to your hometown to stay in a scenic spot for a few days so that we can be together every day?"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to pack my things now!"
As soon as Shen Baobao heard that he was going to Longqishan Scenic Area, he was immediately ready to get out of bed and pack his luggage.
Haha, I not only want to live in the tent camp where you can watch the stars, but also in the Cliff Hotel and the old house where Xu Bao lived.
I still remember that fans gave that house the name Demon King’s Cave.
Hee hee, I didn’t expect that I would actually live in the Demon King’s Cave.
But as soon as she sat up, she was pulled back by Lin Xu:
"It's still too early to pack up now, we won't be able to set off for more than a week."
While talking, the two hugged each other again.
"Yueyue, your clothes are so slippery."
"That's my leg..."
"The clothes were so slippery that they immediately slipped on my legs."
"Hate..."
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Old Mrs. Shen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding Fei Dudu's Dundun in her arms. Han Shuzhen beside her was telling the old lady interesting stories about Dundun.
"Guofu was snoring while sleeping, so Dundun jumped on the bed and covered his mouth with her paws. As a result, his paws were almost bitten. I called Guofu up, and he said he dreamed of chewing pig's trotters, and said the pig's trotters were all covered with them.
The hair has not been cleaned at all..."
The old lady smiled from ear to ear.
I quickly hugged Dundun and asked which paw was almost bitten.
And in the kitchen.
Lin Xu, who had slept on Shen Jiayue's bed, was packing up the special crayfish bought by Aunt Liu.
The last time I bought green shrimps from Uncle Yu’s supermarket, the shrimp shells were a little hard, but this time Aunt Liu bought bigger red shrimps.
These shrimps have been washed several times with an ultrasonic shrimp washing machine.
Lin Xu took the scissors and skillfully cut off the heads of the shrimps and removed the internal organs. Then he pinched the scales in the middle of the tails of the shrimps, first rotated them, and then gently pulled out the shrimp threads.
After doing this, throw it into the basin and continue to collect the next one.
Aunt Liu bought about ten kilograms of crayfish.
Because he didn’t enjoy it last time, Shen Guofu specifically told Aunt Liu to buy more this time.
The crayfish in this pot weighs at least ten pounds.
It will definitely allow my father-in-law to experience the pleasure of eating all-you-can-eat crayfish.
While busy.
Mrs. Shen walked in:
"Xiao Xu, are you tired? I'm going to make some Beijing snacks, do you want to try them?"
Hmm?
Beijing snacks?
Are they pea cakes, donkey rolls, kidney bean rolls, mung bean cakes and other snacks that are both beautiful and attractive?
Lin Xu suddenly became interested:
"Grandma, what are you going to do?"
"Fried enema!"
"Fried...enema?"
The names of Beijing’s snacks are really strange and heavy-sounding.
But Lin Xu really wants to try it.
Because he has never eaten it.
"Then I'll wait and eat, grandma."
He continued to collect crayfish.
Mrs. Shen took out a long, gray-colored ingredient from the refrigerator.
Is this an enema?
It doesn’t look like it has anything to do with pig intestines?
Mrs. Shen grew up in Beijing and is very familiar with this kind of Beijing snacks.
While she was busy, she told Lin Xu about the development history of fried enema, a snack, which was also the process of this snack falling from the royal family to the common people.
Fried sausage originated from fried deer tail in the early Qing Dynasty.
As a rare ingredient, deer tail is delicious no matter how you eat it. Steamed deer tail is a dish that is popular in cross talk.
But deer were not common, and deer tails were even harder to find in the capital at that time.
So a clever cook filled the pig intestines with pork stuffing, sliced them, and fried them, pretending to be deer tails. It was also well received, and this became the original appearance of fried enema.
By the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
The lives of people in the capital have plummeted.
Meat filling is too luxurious, so this fried enema has developed a new form.
Use starch, red yeast rice flour and other ingredients to stuff pig intestines into slices, fry them, and eat them with garlic water. It tastes good, but the key is that the cost is reduced.
Many families can afford it.
This enema quickly spread and became known as the Big Enema.
"Big enema? What does this mean, grandma? Is there also a small enema?"
Mrs. Shen smiled and said:
"It's true. By the time of the Republic of China, pig intestines had become expensive, and many people couldn't afford it, so they used cheap pig intestines instead. This type of sausage made from small intestines is called small enema."
As a chef.
Lin Xu has a strong interest in the development and changes of food.
He looked at the enema that Mrs. Shen was cutting in her hand and asked:
"Grandma, why don't you even see pig intestines when you cut this? These seem to be starch lumps, right?"
"Later, during the difficult times, even pig intestines were not available, but people in the capital were greedy, so they just wrapped starch and red yeast rice flour in gauze to look like an enema, and then fried them with cheap pig intestines.
Now it’s fried sausage.”
Lin Xu didn't expect that this dish would have such a rough fate.
In just a hundred years, it has undergone several transformations, and the cost has become cheaper and cheaper, and it has become more and more popular among the people.

When I was feeling emotional.
The system prompt sounded suddenly in my mind:
"The host listens to the changing process of Beijing's cuisine and triggers the side task [Beijing Snacks]: The host is asked to master more than ten kinds of Beijing snacks within half a year. After completion, he will receive a perfect lottery for Beijing's lost snacks."
Lost snacks?
I remember that when I was learning Master’s original dishes, I triggered a mission of a lost dish.
Unexpectedly, a similar task has been triggered now.
It seems like I’ll have to do more research on Beijing’s snacks in the future.
Fortunately, snacks in Beijing are not that difficult.
It shouldn't be difficult to complete this task.
Let’s see what snacks we can get then.
Maybe you can even sell it in the store to make money.
While he was thinking about it, he discovered that in the task details on the system page, the task progress bar had been updated.
[Task progress: 1/10]
This is?
"It has been detected that the almond tofu in the host's hands is a Beijing-style snack, and the task progress is 1."
Can it still be like this?
The difficulty of the task has been reduced a bit.
In front of the stove.
After Mrs. Shen cut the enema.
Put a special slanted pan on the stove and add some lard into it.
After a while, the lard melted and all gathered in the low-lying parts of the pot.
But there is not a drop of oil in the high places.
Lin Xu thought that frying sausage shouldn't be difficult, so he got up and came over to learn while drinking water.
After seeing the scene in the pot, he asked curiously:
"Grandma, why is this pot placed like this?"
"In fact, fried enema is not only fried, but also fried on a high place to fry out the fat inside, so that the enema tastes more crispy."
What else is there to say?
Fortunately, I took a look, otherwise I might not be able to make authentic fried enema.
He looked at the enema cut by the old lady again.
All are thin on one side and thick on the other.
Is there any explanation for this?
"It is cut like this to increase the taste. The thin side is crispy, and the thick side is soft. One piece of enema has two textures. People in the old capital will also enjoy eating an enema."
Lin Xu secretly remembered it in his heart.
Soon.
The oil in the pot is hot.
Mrs. Shen put the sliced enema into the oil pan one by one.
While she was frying, Aunt Liu put a garlic mortar on the workbench, grabbed a handful of peeled and washed garlic, sprinkled some salt, and started pounding the garlic.
When eating fried enema, you must dip it in garlic sauce.
Only in this way can an ordinary ingredient like enema become delicious.
Aunt Liu said while working:
"Mr. Lin hasn't tried the old lady's skill in making fried sausage, right? It tastes really good."
Mrs. Shen said with a smile:
"This kind of snack that is not available on the table is just a way for poor people to satisfy their greed. The two siblings, Kuniyoshi and Kunifu, were greedy when they were young. I often made and ate them, so I gained experience."
The sausage in the pot is sizzling and frying.
When the surface is browned, turn it over with a quick fryer and continue frying.
This process is very slow.
A certain amount of patience is required.
Lin Xu took notes while reading, and planned to try it out at home when he went back. If he could make it, wouldn't his mission be a step further?
Not long after, both sides of the sausage were fried.
Mrs. Shen used kuaizi to pull the enema steak to the area where there was no oil in the pot, and continued to fry.
At this moment, Aunt Liu has already pounded the minced garlic.
The old lady took the mashed garlic in the bowl, poured some cold boiled water into it, stirred it evenly, and then dipped it into the garlic juice for the enema.
No light soy sauce, no vinegar, it’s so simple that it’s unbelievable.
After both sides of the sausage in the pot were fried, the old lady took it out, put it on a plate and handed it to Lin Xu:
"Try it while it's hot and see if you like it."
Lin Xu was not polite. He took it and held it in his hand. He used a tachyon to pick up a piece of enema that smelled of rich lard, dipped it into the dipping sauce, and then put it into his mouth.
"Kacha!"
It's crispy in the mouth and has a strong aroma of lard.
It should have been very greasy originally, but the spicy taste of the garlic juice immediately dissipated the greasiness of the lard, and it even felt slightly appetizing in your mouth.
"Well, it's delicious. Grandma, your craftsmanship is really good. Can you teach me if you have time? I want to learn it."
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised:
"This is too simple, why don't you fry the rest."
Lin Xu was not polite, washed his hands and exploded.
After he finished frying a pot of enema, he found that there was an update on the task progress on the system page.
[Task progress: 2/10]
Damn it!
Is this considered mastery?
I obviously helped to blow it up.
If you can master it in this way, then this task should be completed quickly, right?
Lin Xu was suddenly full of expectations for the lost Beijing snacks.
When this task is completed, what kind of snacks will you get?
While I was looking forward to it, my cell phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was actually my senior brother Xie Baomin calling.
As soon as he chose to answer, Xie Baomin's voice came from the receiver:
"Junior brother, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, try to come to Diaoyutai at six o'clock. I have a surprise for you."
Surprise?
Lin Xu became a little curious.
What surprises can there be for senior brother?
