Chapter 213 The representative dish made of meat and meat - braised rabbit! How to make fruit vinegar!
Rabbit?
This thing must be braised!
In the morning, I was still talking about getting some meat for Dundun that it had never eaten before, but unexpectedly, my second uncle got a rabbit.
Lin Xu said to Chen Meiliang:
"Second uncle, rabbit meat is suitable for braised pork. How about I cook it? I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway."
"Okay, I'll take it to your uncle later. You can just go and pack up. I didn't plan to drink at first, but for this rabbit, I'll have to drink two glasses of wine with your dad in the evening."
My second uncle is living a very free and easy life now.
Apart from eating and drinking, I just wandered around the reservoir.
But his luck is really good. Yesterday, he caught a snakehead fish weighing several kilograms as soon as he set off the net. Today, he caught a rabbit while wandering around.
Plus the fish and shrimps we usually catch.
He is simply a full-time hunter.
Distracted by this, Lin Xu and Shen Baobao stopped kissing me.
The cute rabbit is waiting to be braised, and there is also fruit vinegar to make, so the kissing thing will naturally be put off for later.
After loading the wild fruits on the coffee table into the car, Lin Xu immediately changed into a T-shirt and drove Shen Baobao to the Farmhouse Restaurant.
After arriving.
The second uncle has already sent the rabbit over and locked it in the same cage as the goose.
Dundun, who was originally at the ticket office with her mother, has taken off her sweater because she is not in an air-conditioned room, and is now spinning around the iron cage.
Obviously, this little guy has discovered a new prey.
In a restaurant not far away, several nearby villagers were bringing the wild products they had picked, and asked their mother Chen Meijuan to weigh them one by one.
The mountain products sold in scenic spots are basically provided by these villagers.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was busy, Shen Baobao quickly went to help.
Lin Xu shouted to Dundun who was wandering around the cage:
"Don't get too close. Be careful to bite you. This thing will bite you very painfully."
After saying that, he took the picked wild fruits to the kitchen, intending to wash them and prepare them for making fruit vinegar, and then clean up the hare.
In the kitchen.
Uncle Shi Wenming is taking the account book and calculating today's turnover.
Seeing Lin Xu come in, he smiled and said:
"Today's turnover really exceeded 10,000. If the business had been so good, our restaurant would have to hire two people."
My uncle is now in charge of the restaurant alone, and my second aunt will come over to help when she is not busy, but today I have to supervise Shi Moli to do her homework, so my second aunt has no time to come over.
Lin Xu said:
"Hire people when you need to, don't be tired."
While he was talking, Shi Wenming saw the wild fruits brought by Lin Xu:
"Hey, such a good fruit? Was it picked in the back mountain?"
"Yes, I just picked some with Yueyue. She likes to drink fruit vinegar, so I'm going to make some. Drinking this stuff is good for your health and is better than drinking drinks."
"Yes, yes, fruit vinegar is really good to drink. It softens blood vessels and so on. If your second aunt was fine before, you should drink some."
Lin Xu put the picked wild fruits into a basin, washed them with clean water, picked out the bad ones, washed them and put them in a bamboo basket to dry.
When using fruits to make fruit vinegar, the surface should not be stained with raw water, otherwise it will easily break.
Therefore, the surface of the fruit should be dried as much as possible.
Only in this way will the produced fruit vinegar not go bad.
Place the bamboo basket in front of the fan to speed up the evaporation of water on the surface of the wild fruits.
While he was busy with wild fruits, Shi Wenming asked:
"Are you going to be that rabbit tonight?"
"Yes, my second uncle said he would have some drinks with you tonight."
"Then let me kill the rabbit for you. I am more familiar with killing this thing."
Lin Xuzheng was worried about how to deal with the rabbit. Unexpectedly, his uncle took the initiative to do the work and did not refuse:
"Thank you very much, uncle."
"My family said that this is not true. I just like the feeling of skinning rabbits. It is so therapeutic."
Cure?
Uncle, your interests are quite interesting.
After Lin Xu arranged the fruits, he left the kitchen. Just as he was about to take a look at the processing of the rabbit, he saw that Shi Wenming had already finished.
At this moment, he was striding towards the kitchen carrying the cleaned rabbit.
Wow!
The process was over before I had time to watch it.
Isn’t this too fast?
Just when he was about to praise him, Shi Wenming sighed with emotion:
"It's really a bit tricky if you don't handle this thing for a while. Under normal circumstances, the rabbit skin should be peeled off within five seconds."
Lin Xu:??????
I really didn’t expect that my uncle is still a talent that Rabbit Farm is in urgent need of.
Just as he was about to follow him into the kitchen and start cleaning up the rabbit, he saw Dundun not far away, looking at his uncle's back with a horrified expression.
Obviously, the killing process just left a psychological shadow on this little guy.
Lin Xu walked over and held Dundun in his arms.
This little guy came back to his senses:
"Meow!"
It pointed with its paw at the rabbit skin spread out on the cage, looking frightened.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, isn't this to improve your life? I'll give you a rabbit leg to try later, so you can enjoy it first."
But Dundun still looked very scared.
It pointed to the rabbit skin and then to the fur on its body.
Obviously, this little guy found that he was no different from the rabbit.
So now I look like a rabbit dead and a cat sad.
Lin Xu scratched its chin, then put his forehead against the little guy's head, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, my dear, you are my good boy, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Such a sensible cat has no time to hurt, so how can it hurt you?
After being comforted like this.
Dundun immediately rubbed Lin Xu's neck with its head.
Then the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:
"The host comforted Dundun with all his heart, completed the hidden task [Soothing Pet], and obtained the perfect braised dish - Braised Rabbit Meat. Congratulations to the host."
Damn it!
This is actually a hidden mission?
Fortunately, I just hugged and comforted Dundun.
Otherwise, you will definitely miss such a good reward.
Although Lin Xu looked eager to try it before, he was actually not good at making rabbit meat, and the system did not reward similar practices.
He just thinks that as long as more chili spices are added, the rabbit meat should not be unpalatable.
But now after reading the experience of perfect-grade braised rabbit, I discovered that the preparation of this dish is very particular, and it can easily overturn if you are not careful.
For example, rabbit meat is relatively lean and has very low fat content.
It would be a big mistake to cook according to the usual cooking concept of "make meat dishes with vegetarian ingredients and make vegetarian dishes with meat dishes". This dish must be made with lard.
In this way, the aroma will be stronger and the meat will become more fragrant, soft and smooth.
If vegetable oil is used, the rabbit meat will not only be dry and woody, but also severely lacking in flavor.
In addition, rabbit meat has a strong grassy smell. If you want it to taste delicious, you must add some ingredients and ingredients to remove the smell and odor.
For example, Angelica dahuricae, white pepper, lemon, high-strength liquor, etc.
Only in this way will the rabbit meat be delicious and delicious, and it can go well with both wine and rice.
After reading it, Dundun no longer looked frightened in his arms. He jumped out of Lin Xu's arms and ran straight to the pool, leaning forward and trying to pull out the black fish.
However, the black fish flicked its tail and splashed water all over Dundun.
Lin Xu: "..."
You're in kid mode again, right?
He didn't care about the little guy, but walked into the kitchen and started playing with the rabbit.
Well, now that we have obtained the method.
Then let’s get started.
Just take a look at the difference between braised rabbit meat made with perfect cooking methods.
First chop the rabbit into large pieces with a kitchen knife, and then soak it in cold water to remove the fishy smell and make the meat more moist and tender.
While soaking the rabbit meat, Lin Xu picked off a piece of rabbit meat from a rabbit leg.
Steam it in a pot later and give it to Dundun to taste.
I just got the perfect braised rabbit recipe from it, so it makes no sense not to reward it.
Well, not only will we be rewarded with rabbit meat, but we will also be rewarded with black fish meat on grandma’s birthday.
Let this little guy taste the joy of eating meat.
After the rabbit meat was steamed, Lin Xu found that the water on the surface of the dried fruits had been dried, leaving only the fruit bases and the parts touching the bamboo basket with a little water, so he turned the fruits one by one.
After finishing this, start preparing the ingredients needed to make braised rabbit meat.
A few green onion segments, a few slices of ginger, a few grains of garlic, a large handful of dried chili pepper segments, a pinch of Sichuan peppercorns, a few chili pepper rings cut from wattle sticks, various spices...
When everything is ready, take the rabbit meat out of the water.
Slightly control the water and set up the wok. Heat the wok first, then grease the wok with cold oil, and then add a tablespoon of lard.
Soon, the oil was hot.
Lin Xu put the onion, ginger and garlic into the pot, sauteed it until fragrant, then added the rabbit meat and started to stir-fry.
The fire in this step must be high, so that the peculiar smell in the rabbit meat will evaporate from the meat along with the water under the action of high-temperature hot oil.
When the surface of the rabbit meat changes color slightly, add the prepared spices and dried chilies and continue to stir-fry to allow the flavor of the spices to quickly penetrate into the rabbit meat and further remove the odor of the rabbit meat.
When the spicy flavor comes out, stir in some strong white wine along the edge of the pot.
Use the volatility of alcohol to continue to remove the odor from rabbit meat.
After this step, the peculiar smell in the meat has been completely removed.
Then add the braised soy sauce, add water and simmer slowly.
After closing the lid.
Shi Wenming said with emotion:
"No wonder the rabbit I stewed before didn't taste good. It turns out that lard is needed in this thing. I learned a trick from my eldest nephew."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"When making such low-fat dishes, you have to add lard or butter. When cooking meat-based dishes, lard was always used when cooking fish."
When cooking, you must learn to flexibly adjust the oil according to the ingredients.
When the food is fatty, use plain oil or no oil and use the food's own fat to cook.
Use lard when the ingredients are too thin or lack flavor.
If you want to add freshness, you can even use chicken fat.
Some specific dishes, such as less popular dishes such as 'It's Like Honey', also need to be cooked with sesame oil.
While the rabbit meat was being stewed, Lin Xu brought over the nearly dried wild fruits and prepared to make fruit vinegar.
There are two ways to make fruit vinegar, one is beverage vinegar and the other is cooking vinegar.
The so-called beverage vinegar is brewed by using vinegar with a relatively simple flavor such as white vinegar or rice vinegar as the base, and adding fruits, sugar, honey and other ingredients.
The resulting fruit vinegar is sweet and sour.
You can drink it directly or mix it with water.
Cooking vinegar is vinegar made by fermenting washed fruits in a sealed container.
Although the fruit vinegar made in this way has a fruity taste, it is more sour and is not suitable for drinking directly. It can only be added when cooking.
Since I am making it for Baby Shen today, I naturally want to make it into beverage vinegar.
Lin Xu found a glass jar of about 5 liters, washed it and dried the water inside.
Then bring over the dried wild fruits, cut off the stems and put them in half, remove the core and put them in a glass jar.
Sprinkle a layer of white sugar on top of the layer.
When the wild fruits are almost gone, pour some honey and then white vinegar.
The amount of vinegar only needs to exceed two-thirds of the glass jar, leaving a little air inside, which is more conducive to fermentation.
Making vinegar and making wine are two different methods.
Brewing requires isolation of air so that starch and sugar can be converted into alcohol.
When making vinegar, there must be a certain amount of air so that sugar and starch can produce acetic acid.
The same ingredients, such as sorghum, are brewed with the air isolated, and sorghum wine is brewed. However, if the air is not isolated, aged vinegar is brewed.
Cover the glass jar and place it in a shady place.
After about a month, the fruit vinegar in the jar will be completely brewed.
Lin Xu planned to brew some more fruit vinegar before leaving, so that not only could his mother and two aunts and the others taste it, but he could even bring a few jars to his mother-in-law.
Well, this beauty and beauty health drink is my mother-in-law’s favorite.
Bringing a few cans back will definitely make her happy.
After making these fruit vinegar.
The rabbit meat in the pot is almost cooked.
After opening the lid, the spicy and spicy flavor immediately wafted out from the pot.
Due to the presence of lard, the meat in the pot is shiny and red, making it look very attractive.
Lin Xu added salt, sugar, pepper and other condiments for seasoning, then added onions and green and red pepper rings, stir-fried over high heat to collect the soup, then took half a lemon and squeezed out a little lemon into the pot.
Juice.
Lemon has a strong effect of removing fishy smell and improving freshness, which can further remove the grassy smell in rabbit meat.
After doing this, take it out of the pot and put it on a plate.
By now everyone has returned and started eating.
After bringing the rabbit meat to the dining table, Lin Xu put the steamed rabbit meat into the cat bowl where Dundun was eating.
This little guy was originally circling the pool wanting revenge, but as a result, more and more water was splashed on him.
After hearing Lin Xu's call to eat, it immediately shook off the water on its body, quickly ran to the bowl, smelled the rabbit meat first, and then lowered its head to eat.
Well, only when you are full can you have the strength to defeat the big black fish!
In front of the dining table.
Dinner at the Lin family has begun.
Lin Hongqi brought a bottle of Luzhou to her second uncle Chen Meiliang and her second uncle Shi Wenming:
"Thank you for your hard work."
The second uncle smiled and said:
"Civilization is hard work. I'm just visiting mountains and rivers... But as the number of tourists increases, more and more children start to gather near the reservoir. Tomorrow I will make a few more warning signs and put them up at regular intervals.
A few lifebuoys, and a few small speakers that play in a loop, so that parents can keep an eye on their children."
The most feared thing by the water is drowning.
So be very careful.
Lin Hongqi said:
"If you don't have enough manpower, just say it. If it doesn't work, I'll arrange a few more people to help you."
"It's not necessary yet. Just be careful at the water park. Children get messy when there are too many. We didn't see any children drowning."
Parents bring their children to the scenic spots for leisure and relaxation, and they must be more vigilant than usual.
Therefore, you have to worry more about the scenic area to avoid any unexpected incidents.
When several elders were chatting.
Chen Yuanyuan quietly put a piece of braised rabbit meat into her bowl, lowered her head and took a bite, then gave a thumbs up to Lin Xu next to her:
"This is the most delicious rabbit meat I have ever eaten in my life!"
When the rabbit meat enters the mouth, it does not have the dryness and firewood of ordinary rabbits, but the plumpness with lard.
It feels a little greasy when you first eat it, but after you bite into the meat, the plumpness just offsets the slightly spicy taste of the rabbit meat.
It also makes up for the lack of flavor of rabbit meat.
After the aroma comes in, it tastes obviously different.
This fragrance, coupled with the spicy taste, can make people appetite without realizing it, and they can't help but want to take a bite of rice or a sip of white wine.
“It’s delicious! It tastes amazing!”
"Don't forget to serve this braised rabbit dish when you go back to the restaurant in Beijing. It will definitely be very popular."
"This is how a dish should be served with wine and rice."
"Wow! The soup bibimbap is also delicious. Sister Yuanyuan, please try it."
"There is also that faint lemon flavor, which is fresh and delicious!"
"..."
Everyone was attracted by this delicious rabbit meat.
Dad and uncle even forgot to drink.
Shi Wenming said with emotion:
"The way we cooked rabbits at home was wrong in the past. Today, after watching Xiaoxu's operation, I realized that if this thing is to be delicious, lard must be added."
He planned to buy two rabbits and stew them in lard when he was grocery shopping tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
If possible, the farm-style restaurant will start to serve new dishes.
While eating and chatting, Baby Shen talked about picking wild fruits to make fruit vinegar.
Chen Meijuan immediately became excited after listening to the fruit vinegar beauty treatment:
"Wenming, buy two boxes of white vinegar when you go shopping tomorrow morning. I will also pick wild fruits tomorrow and try to make more."
Not only does she want to drink it herself, she even wants to buy some exquisite glass bottles and put the brewed fruit vinegar in it, which can be sold as a specialty of the scenic spot.
After meal.
Because it’s still early and not dark yet.
The second uncle said to Lin Xu:
"Xiao Xu, I have to watch the children by the reservoir tomorrow. I don't have time to set up the shrimp pots. How about we go up now and see how the harvest is."
Lin Xu happened to want to try the shrimp cakes he got yesterday, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, uncle, let's set off now."
Baby Shen was holding a cat-catching stick to try to save his stepmother's image. When he heard that they were going to the reservoir, he happily sat on the commuter car and followed him.
Wow, how can something like setting up a shrimp trap be without my participation?
A group of people came to the edge of the reservoir.
After getting on the assault boat, we quickly headed towards the place where the shrimp pots were placed.
Arriving at the location where the shrimp pots were placed, the second uncle slowly lifted the shrimp pots that had sunk to the bottom of the water along the buoys.
The moment he came out of the water, Shen Baobao, who was sitting on the side of the boat, screamed:
"Wow! There's a snake in there!"
Lin Xu was excited, took another closer look, and quickly took the girl's hand and said:
"It's not a snake, it's an eel."
The second uncle held the shrimp pot and took a closer look:
"Oh, this eel is beautiful. It looks like a small rolling pin. It will be a treat tomorrow. Xiaoxu, what is the best way to make this thing?"
What to do?
There are a lot of eel recipes in Huaiyang cuisine.
There are some things like shredded eel fried in oil, eel paste fried in oil, stir-fried eel segments, etc., but I don’t know any of them, and the system has never provided similar ingredients...
When he was worried, Lin Xu suddenly thought that there is also a famous dish of eel in Cantonese cuisine, and said with a smile:
"Then let's simply make a panlong eel with black bean sauce."
