Chapter 320 Isn’t this soup perfect for fried noodles? Is there any exercise that doesn’t make you tired and keeps you fit?
Soon, the pork belly in the pot had been cooked until it was almost raw.
Lin Xu turned off the fire, but did not take the pork belly out immediately, but continued to soak it in the pot.
The purpose of this is to make the pork belly more tender and more flavorful.
However, don’t soak it for too long. If you soak the pork belly for a long time, it will absorb a lot of water, causing the taste to deteriorate. Basically, it can be taken out and dried after being cooked and soaked for ten minutes.
When making spicy and sour tripe soup, you cannot use pork belly right after cooking. It must be completely cooled, so that the pork belly will be fragrant, tender and smooth, and the hot and sour soup will be more delicious.
If you cut the pork belly while it is hot, it will be difficult to cut the pork belly into thin strips.
The taste of hot and sour soup will also become worse.
"Soak it for fifteen minutes, take it out and put it in the cold storage to dry. Don't soak it for too long."
Lin Xuchong gave instructions to the cook next to him and planned to go downstairs to check on the braised chicken.
After leaving the kitchen, as soon as he reached the stairs, he saw his senior brother Xie Baomin, his junior sister-in-law Su Peipei, and Brother Chun coming along the stairs to the second floor.
"Senior brother? Didn't you go out to play during the holidays?"
"I went to Pinggu for a trip, and I felt that there were more people in the mountains than in Sanlitun. There were queues for every farmhouse, and there were traffic jams everywhere. We had to eat some bread at noon to avoid starving."
Xie Baomin said dejectedly. He never expected that he would encounter such an experience during a trip to the outskirts of Beijing.
I haven’t gone to more popular places like Changping Xishan yet, so I guess there are more people there.
There are people everywhere, but there are fewer people in the urban area. When I got off the elevated highway from the North Fourth Ring Road, there was a rare traffic jam.
Su Peipei asked with a smile:
"You and Yueyue didn't go out to play?"
"No, there are people everywhere. It's not too late to go out after the festival."
When they came upstairs, Lin Xuchong greeted Dachun:
"Hello, Brother Chun, have you eaten?"
"My sister ate with her brother-in-law, but I hadn't eaten yet. I went to his house a little late and cleaned the pot..."
Xie Baomin smiled silently, looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Do you still have breakfast in the store? If so, bring some to Dachun and chat with you all the way."
Today he made an appointment with an andrologist who was not traveling. Since dietary therapy and dietary supplements are no longer enough, he should try the scientific route.
Today I asked Dachun to go home. Originally, he, the uncle, was supposed to take his two nephews to the swimming pool to swim.
As a result, the two children made an appointment with their classmates and did not need anyone to watch, and Dachun did not eat breakfast. Xie Baomin thought about it and decided to arrange Dachun to stay with his junior brother.
This guy might say something embarrassing, and he has been talking about Lin Kee's fried noodles since he walked in. Today's lunch was enough for him, just in time for the two children to try the food here.
I complain every day that the food cooked by me, the head chef of the state banquet, is not delicious, so I want to change my taste today.
"There's plenty of breakfast. Brother Chun, please wait a moment... Che, bring out the remaining eight-treasure porridge and pot stickers from the morning, and some refreshing kimchi."
I made a lot of breakfast today. Originally, Lin Xu planned to save it for Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing. Now that spring is here, the breakfast for these two beauties is gone.
Not long after, Che Zi walked over from the kitchen holding a small bowl of eight-treasure porridge.
Followed by a helper, holding the remaining pot stickers and kimchi.
"Brother Chun, see if you have enough to eat. If not, I will send someone to get some fried buns from Ziqiang Shengjian."
Dachun asked curiously:
"Did you really invest in Ziqiang Shengjian?"
"Yes, Brother Chun has also heard of Ziqiang Shengjian?"
"I've heard of it before. Before the holidays, some physical education students in our school took advantage of the break in physical education classes to go out and buy something over the wall. I caught them in the act."
Ouch!
I didn’t expect Brother Chun to be a good, serious and responsible teacher.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"What do you do after you catch them?"
Normally, it should be sent to the teaching office and then written for examination, right?
I remember when I was in middle school, the school basically used this method to deal with students who jumped over the wall. If it was more serious, they would use the trump card that students were most afraid of in middle school - calling their parents.
Dachun took a big gulp of the eight-treasure porridge:
"What else can we do? Let's eat together. The fried pancake is really delicious, but it's a pity that it's too far away from our school, so it doesn't taste so hot."
This way of handling it is really...
I feel that Dachun is a teacher who is very popular among students.
Lin Xu said:
"No matter how you jump over the wall, you shouldn't go out. It's even more inappropriate to go so far to buy food... Well, I'll talk to the company later and see if I can open a branch in front of your school, so that I don't have to run back and forth. I think
If you want to eat, you can buy it secretly through the railing."
Dachun's eyes widened:
"Fuck, this is great. Thank you, Lin Xu... This eight-treasure porridge is really good. Sister, do you and my brother-in-law want to eat some more?"
You've been drinking from a basin for a long time before you think of us... Xie Baomin was used to his brother-in-law, and he said to Lin Xu:
"Let Dachun stay with you. Your sister-in-law and I will go to do some errands. Our whole family will have dinner at your place today at noon. Dachun told the two children that the fried noodles you made were very delicious, and they were very excited." Lin Xu looked at the helplessness on his senior brother's face and wanted to laugh in his heart.
The head chef of a state banquet who can even conquer the stomachs of foreign heads of state cannot gain the appreciation of his own family. To be honest, this is quite shocking.
Fortunately, the other head chefs at Diaoyutai didn’t know about this.
If I knew, I would definitely set off a wave of firecrackers to celebrate.
Damn it, are you like this today?
After Xie Baomin finished speaking, he and Su Peipei walked towards the stairs, while Lin Xu arranged for a helper to go to Qiang Sheng Jian and ask for some pan-fried buns.
Since Dachun likes to eat, let him enjoy it.
After the arrangements were made, Lin Xu went downstairs to take a look at the roasted chicken. When it was almost done, he turned off the fire and let the roasted chicken soak in the sandwich pot.
After soaking until eleven o'clock, this pot of roast chicken is officially ready.
In addition to roasted chicken, other braised meats are also being made in full swing, striving to achieve a new high in braised pork sales today.
Yesterday, the small window of the braised food department actually increased the turnover by tens of thousands of yuan. Shu Yun, on behalf of the store, gave each person in the braised food department a bonus of 500 yuan, which made the already tense members of the braised food department even more motivated.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And the customers also gave face, it was still early for the roast chicken to be cooked, but the neighbors in twos and threes had already gathered in front of the window, watching the making process of the braised pork with great interest.
Lao Suntou, who bought roast chicken twice in a row, was chatting with the neighbors outside:
"The roast chicken from other places is either tasteless or salty, but the roast chicken made by Xiao Lin is just right, the meat is juicy and flavourful, the craftsmanship is really amazing."
Several other neighbors also praised it non-stop.
Lin Xuchong smiled outside the window and said:
"Thank you, you guys. The main reason is that the chicken we chose is better. It is free-range chicken. The meat is firm and not easy to taste. If the same stew is made with Sanhuang chicken, it will still be salty."
Regardless of chicken or other ingredients, the firmer the meat, the less flavorful it is. This is why it is marinated for two hours and then soaked for three hours, so that the flavor can fully penetrate into the chicken.
If the meat is replaced with loose ingredients, such as the common three-yellow chicken on the market and the white-feathered chicken used for fried chicken, the chicken will be as loose as a sponge, and the flavor of the stew will easily permeate, making the chicken naturally salty.
In order to pursue profits, general braised meat restaurants make chickens as cheap as possible, and chickens with loose meat take less time to braise, which is relatively more cost-effective.
As for Lin Ji, it takes more than five hours to make the braised meat and marinate it. Even those braised pork restaurants can make two-pot roasted chicken.
Of course, Linji's roast chicken takes a long time to make and uses good ingredients, so the price is naturally much higher. The price of a single roast chicken is slightly higher than that of two ordinary roast chickens.
If it weren't for Lin Ji's fame, and the neighborhood's liking for it.
Sales of roast chicken may not increase yet.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Lin Xu came upstairs to prepare the ingredients for the morning.
"Lin Xu, your breakfast is so delicious. I haven't had such a satisfying breakfast in a long time."
Dachun finished the last mouthful of eight-treasure porridge on the plate and scraped the bottom of the basin clean with a spoon. All the pot stickers on the plate had been eaten, and even most of the fried buns he brought back were eaten.
Although there are still a few left in the bag, judging from this eating speed, it is only a matter of time before they are all eliminated.
I really envy such a good appetite.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Brother Chun can come to the store more often when he's not busy. You don't have to follow my senior brother here. He's so busy that sometimes he can't take care of that."
Dachun picked up a fried bun, bit open a small opening, sucked out the broth inside, and then bit off half of it:
"What is my brother-in-law busy with? He is thinking about diet and supplements every day. I have told him before that studying these is completely useless. Running ten kilometers a day is more effective than eating anything."
This is indeed true.
According to statistics, among those health-preserving people who prefer diet therapy and dietary supplements, none of them live a long life. Instead, they are keen on fitness and exercise, and they can easily live to be eighty or ninety years old.
Life lies in movement. This is no joke.
Everyone knows the truth, but who can do it?
Aren’t contemporary young people keen on collecting various sports videos and then leaving them in their favorites to gather dust?
Thinking of this, Lin Xu glanced at Dachun in surprise.
Did this guy take the package of moringa seeds from senior brother on purpose?
"I bought a luxury treadmill online two days ago and plan to put it on the balcony of my brother-in-law's house so that he can exercise every day after get off work."
Put it on the balcony?
Then the treadmill will most likely become a clothes drying rack.
Especially in winter, it is very convenient to dry the mattress on the treadmill, especially the luxurious type, the frame is stable enough and will not roll over.
Lin Xu is very experienced in using this thing.
The reason is very simple. Before the scenic spot was developed, my father Lin Hongqi also bought a treadmill on a whim.
Then the Lin family had a place to dry their bedding, sheets, insoles and socks.
Use a piece of cardboard to stand on the treadmill and dry some dried vegetables, which is very convenient and easy to use.
I hope my brother’s treadmill will not be used for such a purpose.
While thinking about it, Dachun said:
"In order to prevent him from running away, I will connect it to my mobile phone and call him to harass him if he doesn't run enough times at ten o'clock in the evening. I don't believe that his physical fitness cannot be improved."
Tsk tsk tsk, according to this training method, I guess it won’t be a problem for senior brother to run a half marathon next year.
It’s great to have such a brother-in-law.
Senior brother actually dislikes me everywhere.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Xu took out all the pork tripes cooked in the morning from the cold storage and prepared to make spicy and sour tripe soup.
The ingredients for this soup are very simple and free. Basically any ingredient that does not conflict with the sour and peppery flavors can be used.
But the most common ones, in addition to shredded belly, usually add shredded onions, ginger, carrots and fungus, and occasionally shredded bamboo shoots, vermicelli or day lily cut into shreds.
In addition to these ingredients, the most classic combination is chives and coriander.
When it's finally out of the pot, grab a handful and sprinkle it into the soup, and the appearance will immediately improve.
Cut the pork belly in half, stack them together, and then cut into thin strips with a kitchen knife.
The cooked pork belly will become chewy again when it is cooled, and it will not break even if it is cut into very thin strips.
After the pork belly was cut, Lin Xu cut some green onions and put them directly in the soup pot. When the soup is ready, put it in. The green onion aroma will directly penetrate into the soup, making it taste fresh and delicious.<
/p>
In addition to shredded green onions, this can also be done with coriander and leek segments.
Prepare these three items, and then cut some green onions, ginger slices and dried chili slices for frying.
Finally, cut some shredded carrots and soaked fungus.
Originally, Lin Xu planned to cut some shredded fresh bamboo shoots, but the store didn't have any, only sour bamboo shoots, so forget it.
Sour bamboo shoots cannot be added to hot and sour soup, otherwise it will turn into a smelly snail soup.
Everything is ready, start production.
Add some pork bone stock to the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then pour the fungus in and blanch it, then add shredded carrots and finally shredded belly.
Blanching the ingredients to be cooked in advance can effectively remove the odor in the ingredients.
If you make it at home, just use clean water.
But if possible, use pork bone stock, so that the blanched ingredients will have a rich aroma, and the hot and sour soup will be more fragrant and delicious.
Pour the blanched ingredients into a large colander to drain the water.
Clean the pot, add a little lard into it, pour the dried chili segments into it, and slowly stir-fry out the spicy flavor over low heat.
Then add the onion and ginger and continue to stir-fry.
When the frying is almost done, add half the pot of pork bone stock.
If you have to put aside other soups, using such a large amount of pork bone stock and lard will definitely make the soup greasy.
But that's not the case with spicy and sour belly soup. Due to the large use of vinegar and pepper, this soup not only completely suppresses the greasiness of the soup, but also tastes sour and sweaty, which is very refreshing.
After the broth in the pot boiled, Lin Xu did not add the ingredients directly. Instead, he took out the dried chili slices, green onions and ginger slices from the pot.
When popping the buns, put the ginger slices in, so you don’t need to prepare shredded ginger.
When you drink it, you won’t get the unpalatable shredded ginger, which is very friendly to people who don’t eat ginger.
After all the ingredients are removed, simmer for a while, then pour the blanched ingredients into the pot, and then pour in half a spoon of white vinegar.
White vinegar is relatively volatile. If you add vinegar now, the sourness of the vinegar will evaporate quickly and take away the odor in the soup, making the soup taste more fragrant and delicious.
At the same time, the adhesion of white vinegar can also give the food a sour taste.
Pour out the white vinegar and simmer over high heat for one minute. Add salt, a little white sugar for freshness, a little MSG and the same amount of white pepper as the salt.
White pepper is an essential ingredient in hot and sour soup, and it can even be said to be a soul-like existence.
This is also a characteristic of Central Plains cuisine, which uses a lot of pepper and vinegar for seasoning. For example, vinegar and pepper are used in various soups in the most famous Luoyang water banquet, spicy soup, pot dumplings, etc.
After adding the seasoning, stir it twice in the pot, then pour in a spoonful of light soy sauce and a little dark soy sauce to add a bit of soybean flavor and color to the dish.
Stir evenly, then slowly add water starch to make the soup thicker.
When it's almost done, pour another tablespoon of balsamic vinegar into the pot along the edge.
If you want to enjoy the sour and fragrant belly soup, you need to add vinegar twice. The first time is white vinegar to give the ingredients a sour taste and at the same time clean up the odor in the broth.
The second time is the balsamic vinegar before serving.
Balsamic vinegar has low acidity and strong flavor, so it is most suitable to be added when cooking.
After stirring evenly, turn off the heat, then hold the pot and pour the soup into the basin with shredded green onions, coriander segments and leek segments.
After pouring it in, stir it with a spoon and flip the ingredients on the bottom of the basin to the top.
To prevent the shredded green onions, coriander and leeks from being blanched.
After doing this, a sour and delicious spicy and sour belly soup is completed. The soup is ruddy in color and slightly thick.
White shredded tripe and scallions, red shredded carrots, green coriander, tender yellow leeks, black fungus... all kinds of colors gathered in the basin make the whole soup look uniquely beautiful. p>
As soon as the soup was ready, Zhu Yong and Wei Qian each made a pot of hometown fried noodles.
Put it into a basin, take it outside, and start eating!
Outside, Xie Baomin's two children have arrived by subway from the swimming pool and are being urged by Geng Lele to study their respective courses.
The two brothers are in eighth grade and one is in high school, not much younger than Geng Lele.
But classmate Xiaomo Gutou can easily crush her in terms of IQ.
She said while teaching:
"With your situation, it's still very difficult for you to get into Tsinghua University and become my junior student. Let's do this. Come over every weekend from now on and I'll give you two extra lessons."
After entering college, Geng Lele discovered that the girls in their sophomore and junior years were always acting like senior students and commanding the lower-grade students to work.
She also wanted to experience the joy of being a senior, so she came up with the idea of training her own juniors.
Not only Xie Baomin's two children, but also Lin Xu's group of cousins who often sneaked around Lin Ji's food topics were also recruited by Geng Lele.
But what troubles her is that Lin Xu's cousins say they won't go to Tsinghua University and only want to take the Central Bank of Finance and Economics exam, leaving Geng Lele speechless.
"Eat, eat!"
Today we had fried noodles and spicy and sour belly soup for lunch. Each person had a plate of noodles and a bowl of soup. When it was Spring’s turn, Lin Xucheng said to the car boy:
"Change the bowl for him and change the soup into a small bowl."
For people with small appetites, they have to grit their teeth to finish a plate of noodles.
But for Dachun, if he has more than three mouths, he loses.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to change to a basin.
As soon as Shen Baobao and others sat down after serving the rice, they couldn't wait to start tasting the tripe soup and fried noodles that they hadn't eaten in a few days.
The delicious fried noodles with the spicy and sour belly soup attracted everyone's exclamation as soon as they were eaten:
"Wow, this fried noodles with tripe soup is really amazing."
"The sour flavor is appetizing. I didn't like eating sour food in the past, but I can't stop drinking this soup."
"It tastes delicious, I feel like this is the right way to open fried noodles."
"What a perfect match!"
"Boss, we need to make a new version of this soup. It's perfect for fried noodles."
"Yes, yes, I think so too. With belly soup, I feel that the sales of fried noodles will increase dramatically."
"..."
While everyone was eating, Xie Baomin and his wife came back.
Compared with when they left, the couple's faces were a little more sad.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"What's going on, senior brother? Why do you look like this?"
Aren’t you going to do things happily?
It seems that you have just returned from reporting a case to the police for being scammed by telecommunications?
Xie Baomin opened his mouth and was about to speak when Dachun, who was eating noodles, came over with a basin and asked:
"Brother-in-law, what did the doctor say?"
Doctor?
Lin Xu felt happy. After going through such a long journey, senior brother finally tried to believe in modern medicine?
From this perspective, Dachun’s decision to confiscate the packet of moringa seeds was quite right.
Xie Baomin glanced at his brother-in-law speechlessly, and then asked:
"The doctor said that there are stones, and they are very small. No need to fight, just exercise more...Dachun, is there any exercise that is not too tiring but can strengthen the body?"
