"Is this deer tail really edible?"
At the door of the kitchen, Shen Jiayue opened the foam box sent by Lao Huang and saw several bloody and hairy deer tails inside.
The tail is not big, slightly flat, and covered with brown and white hairs.
Perhaps these deer tails had just been cut off, and the blood on them had not yet solidified, so there was a strong smell of blood. Coupled with the location of the tail itself, the fishy smell was very strong.
As soon as Shen Jiayue smelled the smell, she couldn't help but take a step back and frowned.
The smell is even worse than the stench of pig intestines. It doesn’t feel like something that humans can eat.
She looked at Lin Xu and asked again:
"Xubao, did we make a mistake?"
It is said that deer tail is a kind of delicacy, but isn’t this delicacy too unappetizing?
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"That's right, it's the tail of a sika deer, and preferably a male deer's tail. It's bigger, thicker, and tastes better after the bones are removed."
The smell of deer tail is indeed a bit unpleasant, especially the smell of blood mixed with the fishy smell, which makes people want to spit out the overnight meal.
This is actually the first threshold faced when cooking deer tail - removing the odor.
Chinese food cooking has always followed the principle of "if there is no taste, let it go in; if there is taste, it will come out".
Ingredients that have no flavor themselves, such as sea cucumber, shark's fin, abalone and other ingredients, need to use ingredients such as broth to infuse the fresh flavor into them.
On the contrary, you have to find a way to remove the flavorful ingredients so that the dishes will be delicious.
Lin Xu endured the smell, took the deer's tail away, and saw two bags underneath. One bag contained a large piece of venison, and the other bag contained bloody antler.
Deer antlers are just sprouted deer antlers. It is said to be a famous nourishing product. Drinking the wine soaked in deer antlers can make people go shirtless in the winter.
These two ingredients are the side dishes of steamed deer tail, and they are also the key to making steamed deer tail more high-end and luxurious.
After reading this, he closed the box and said to Shen Jiayue:
"Get ready to take pictures. When the food is cooked, you won't be so disgusted with it."
"Really? How do I feel that after making this thing, the taste will still be very rich?"
Although Shen Jiayue was quite skeptical, after all, video shooting was work. She went to the small kitchen to set up the shooting lights, adjust the equipment, and get ready for shooting.
Lin Xu went to the big kitchen and started preparing the ingredients.
The ingredients needed to steam deer tail are very simple. Except for the green onion, ginger and pepper to remove the fishy smell, the rest is just a yellow-leaf cabbage.
Chinese cabbage is the soul of this dish and the key to the deliciousness of deer tail.
The simpler the ingredients, the higher the cooking requirements for the chef, and the greater the probability of overturning. This is the reason why chefs are reluctant to cook this dish.
Lin Xu prepared the ingredients and came to the kitchen carrying the box containing venison, antler and tail.
At this time, Shen Jiayue was also ready. Seeing that Lin Xu was only holding a piece of cabbage, she couldn't help but blinked:
"That's it? Isn't it too simple?"
"Chinese cabbage is used to make deer tail, velvet antler needs to be simmered slowly in stock, and venison needs to be braised in sauce - these two ingredients that work together are more troublesome."
Normal steamed deer tail is actually to use pickled cabbage leaves, remove the bones and clean the deer tail and steam it in a pot.
But this is just the regular version. If you want to eat the deluxe version, you have to think a little bit.
For example, after removing the bones, put a piece of velvet antler simmered in stock to serve as the bone of the deer tail, and fill it with some braised venison.
After steaming, slice and serve.
Deer tail is rich in fat and gum, so you can’t eat it directly with chopsticks, as it will easily make you sick.
The best way is to wrap it in pickled cabbage leaves and eat it.
Venison is a relatively hot ingredient, and deer tail is very greasy, so pairing it with salty and crisp cabbage leaves can not only remove the greasiness, but also neutralize the heat caused by venison. p>
Whether Mr. Park Toyota, who was a chef in the Marshal's Mansion, or Yuan Mei, the best gourmet in the Qing Dynasty, there is only one way to cook deer tail.
Using fresh food to make mutton and using cold food to make hot food is the role of cabbage in this dish.
In addition, using the ubiquitous cabbage to cook the precious deer tail implies the cooking concept of complementing each other and complementing each other.
When you are ready, start shooting.
Lin Xu laid a layer of plastic wrap on the workbench, then took out the deer tail, braised meat, and velvet antlers from the box, added Chinese cabbage, laid them all out, and signaled Shen Jiayue to turn on the machine.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xu! Recently many netizens have asked me if I can't cook high-end Northeastern cuisine and want this series? No, it's mainly because I've been waiting for ingredients recently, and I made a dish for people.
I was visiting the ginkgo garden, so I wasted a little time... Today, the high-end Northeastern dish in this issue is here, it is - steamed deer tail!"
The dish "Steamed Deer Tail" is written and pronounced with two pronunciations. When pronouncing it, you need to change the pronunciation of the tail to "yi" and add the pronunciation "er", so it is pronounced as "Steamed Deer Tail".
Not only is deer tail pronounced like this, but the sheep tail oil that people in Yanjing use as the first dish when they eat meat in a copper pot is also pronounced as sheep tail oil.
The reason is that the suffix for "tail" has the same pronunciation as the word "wilt", which sounds like swearing.
It is said that if the waiter in the past did not pronounce the last word as yi, but pronounced it as wěi, he would be slapped on the spot.
Logically speaking, Shen Jiayue should start the conversation today, first with a cross talk, and then introduce the dish of steamed deer tail.
But Lin Xu was disgusted with this kind of awkward domestic small theater. Just cook, there was no need to put on an awkward performance here, so he didn't do it.
After introducing the ingredients, he said to the camera:
"To be honest, deer tail is the smelliest food I have ever put away. It has a stronger smell than intestines. I need to get started quickly to avoid filling the house with the smell."
After saying that, he soaked the deer's tail in cold water and soaked it first.
The processing of deer tail is quite particular. You need to soak it in cold water for a while, then take it out, rinse it with boiling water and soak it before plucking it.
Shen Jiayue asked:
"Can't you just use boiling water to scald it?"
"No, it will burn the deerskin and affect the taste."
Although the cumbersome steps of some dishes are made up by seniors in the industry, many steps were also discovered by them through testing and cannot be easily simplified.
Moreover, soaking the deer tail first can also temporarily suppress the odor.
If you pour boiling water directly on a deer tail that has a strong fishy smell, the water vapor will immediately spread the smell of the deer tail all over the house.
While soaking the deer tail, Lin Xu brought another basin, put the fresh deer antlers in and washed them carefully.
The blood inside the velvet antler is extremely precious, so when washing, the blood should not be lost, and the skin of the velvet antler should not be broken. Just carefully rub the outer skin and wash it once.
After doing this, he scooped half of the casserole soup stock, put the velvet antlers in, two red dates, two slices of ginger, and a piece of green onion, and put them on the stove to simmer over low heat.
Deer antlers are rarely eaten directly because they are precious and have too strong firepower.
So most of them are soaked in wine, or dried and cut into slices for consumption.
There are very few people who directly use fresh velvet antlers as ingredients for cooking, mainly because everyone is reluctant to spend money like this.
The reason why Lin Xu did this was purely to showcase high-end Northeastern cuisine.
The Northeastern cuisine back then was very arrogant.
You can make a piece of deer antler like a treasure, cut it into small pieces at a time and use it as ginseng, right? Then I will make it directly into vegetables and use it as pickles and porridge.
The Marshal's Mansion back then was like this.
No matter where they come from, guests will be impressed by the products here.
After simmering the velvet antler, Lin Xu divided the piece of venison and sauced it using the method of sauce donkey meat. When it was almost marinated, he put it in the brine for marinating.
After doing this, he started to boil water.
After the water is boiled, take out the deer tails soaked in the water one by one and put them into an empty basin.
Then pour the boiled water in and start perming.
Pour in the hot water, Lin Xu holds a grate and press it into the basin, press the floating deer tail into the basin, and let the hot water soak it completely.
After about a minute, he took off the grate, took out the deer's tail, and rubbed it on the tail while it was hot. The fine deer hair on it fell off, revealing the slightly whitish deer skin.
Peel off all the fur on the surface and quickly put it into cold water to cool down, lest the residual heat burns the skin of the deer's tail.
After everything is done, place the cold water basin under the faucet, turn on the faucet, reduce the water flow rate, and start rinsing with running water.
The method to remove odor from fresh meat is very simple. Just soak it in cold water. No matter how strong the smell is, as long as it is soaked in cold water and rinsed with running water, the odor can basically be reduced.
As for whether it is a waste of water, in fact, if the faucet is turned down, it will not consume much water in an hour.
In cooking, these steps are essential.
For example, the classic Cantonese delicacy Pork Ribs in Black Bean Sauce. The reason why those short ribs are tender and delicious without any odor is the result of repeated rinsing under the tap.
But now some hotels also have tricks, such as putting it in the washing machine and adding water to spin it, which not only saves time, but also saves water.
"These deer tails look so plump after losing their hair, they are quite cute."
Without the fishy smell, Shen Jiayue no longer dislikes these tails, and even finds them cute in their bare appearance.
Lin Xu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He had never thought that this thing had anything to do with cuteness.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, I fished out the deer tail that had been flushed for an hour.
At this time, the deer's tail becomes whiter and tenderer, and looks chubby.
Wipe off the moisture on the surface and place it on the workbench. Then Lin Xu picked up the spray gun, turned down the flame and burned the deer's tail.
This is done to remove some of the fine fluff on the deer's tail and increase the taste.
In addition, it also further removes the odor from the deer's tail.
Most of the odor on deer tail comes from the pores, so it is necessary to burn it.
After burning them all, continue to soak the deer tails in water. This kind of dish with a strong smell cannot be cooked in a hurry. You have to take it slowly and steadily.
Only in this way will the dishes be delicious and not smell fishy.
Shen Jiayue asked:
"Soak the hair in water before plucking it, soak it in water after plucking it, and soak it in water after burning it. Then do you have to soak it in water when you remove the bones later?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"After cutting it, you can't soak it again. At most, wash it with water."
After soaking for a while, he cleaned the deer tail in the basin with water, and even scrubbed the areas with black ash.
Clean it, put it in a basin, add scallions, ginger slices, a handful of peppercorns, some celery leaves, coriander roots and other ingredients, add mineral water, put the deer tail in and soak it.
After burning the skin, you cannot soak it in running water. Instead, use onion and ginger water.
These ingredients all have the effect of removing odor. Soaking them in this way can remove the odor from the deer tail to the maximum extent.
After soaking these, it’s almost noon.
Lin Xu marinated the nearly marinated venison, then washed his hands, and started having lunch with Shen Jiayue.
Today’s lunch in the store is still box lunch as usual.
A thousand box lunches, no matter how precise the preparation, will always be a little extra, so the employees in the cheap store can only help clean up.
Lin Xu filled a bowl of rice with the braised bamboo shoots, roasted eggplant, stir-fried pork and soy sauce chicken on the table, which were all included in the lunch box.
Basically, they are suitable for batch production. After all, with so many servings, if you want to make some complicated dishes, you won’t be able to make them even if the store stops taking turns.
At the same time, at the car show.
Chen Yan was eating salmon salad and saw Dundun coming over, and asked curiously:
"What? Do you want to eat too?"
She picked out a piece of salmon that was not stained with salad dressing and placed it on the lid of the lunch box. Dundun lowered her head and smelled it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she lowered her head and started eating.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Chen Yan looked full of surprise.
I'm going!
This stinky baby is finally willing to eat what I give him.
Dundun is very picky and wary, and only eats food fed by a few people such as Lin Xu, Shen Jiayue, Shu Yun, Chen Meijuan, and Han Shuzhen.
Chen Yan really wanted to join this ranks, but every time she took the initiative to show her kindness, she was met with Dundun's indifferent rejection.
Unexpectedly, I actually ate it today, and it was salmon picked out of the bowl.
"My baby eats the same bowl of food as me and doesn't dislike my aunt at all. It's great!"
Zeng Xiaoqi, who was pulling rice next to her, said:
"It's also possible that I chose to eat from the same bowl with you because I wanted to see if you were still alive after eating. From this point of view, you are just like the emperor's poison-testing eunuch!"
Chen Yan: "..."
If you don’t speak, no one will think you are mute, little furbolg!
She took a bite of the salad and hummed softly:
"With the beauty of this young girl, even if you go to the palace, you must be at the level of a noble concubine. What kind of eunuch is not a eunuch? I think you look like a washboard, so you look like a eunuch."
Zeng Xiaoqi curled her lips:
"Okay, with that little belly of yours, the emperor might think that you are happy to have an affair with someone else when he sees it. Even if he doesn't kill you, he will be thrown into the cold palace and he won't be able to freeze you to death."
"Can you first clarify the concepts of cold palace and cold storage?"
Chen Yan originally wanted to show off her recent fat loss results, but she thought the time had not come yet and she would wait until her weight dropped below 100 before she showed off.
It is said that girls weigh less than 100, and are either flat-chested or short. It is my baby Yan’s turn to break this curse!
Dundun finished eating a piece of salmon, glanced at Wolong Fengxia who was bickering, and then left the office in a hurry, preparing to go and play with the girls.
Mommy said to stay away from fools. I think these two are quite stupid, so stay away!
Yue Liyue had just finished eating and saw Dundun going out. He immediately held up his mobile phone to follow him. He had been live broadcasting the auto show for the past two days, and his number of fans was so high that he didn't even stop broadcasting while eating.
After leaving the office, he changed the live camera from the front to the rear:
"Everyone is eating now, so I will help look after Dundun, see where it is going, and explore the kitten's interests and hobbies."
As soon as I heard that Dundun was going to be broadcast live, the live broadcast room immediately became popular.
"Give Dundun more shots, I love it so much!"
"Me too, every time I see Dundun, I can't help but want to kiss him."
"I heard that Dundun likes to play with pretty girls, so I bought a hot girl outfit and planned to become friends with her."
"Aren't you a man upstairs? Two days ago, you complained that the Philips razor was not easy to use... We, Dundun, like a young lady, and you are not a pervert!"
"A man wearing a hot girl outfit? This is too exciting, right?"
"Take it easy upstairs. Even a pervert like me finds that babble very perverted."
It's noon now, and the car model girls are taking a break. Some of them went outside, and some went to the lounge.
Dundun walked around the main venue but couldn't find anyone, so she ran to the Ferrari showroom not far away, jumped onto a Ferrari sports car with a slight jump.
First roll on the hood and then start licking your paws.
Yue Liyue followed up and continued to broadcast Dundun. The number of people in the live broadcast room kept increasing, small gifts kept coming, and the chicken legs never broke.
"Meow~"
Seeing Yue Liyue live broadcasting on his mobile phone, Dundun called into the camera as a greeting.
Just as Yue Liyue was about to respond, a woman's voice sounded from behind:
"Wow, what a cute cat. Can you give me a cat as a gift when you buy a car?"
The manager in the exhibition hall quickly came over and said with a smile:
"This is the little star we invited, not a gift, sorry."
Before the start of the auto show, Li Shiqiang told these brands at the mobilization meeting that no matter whether they like cats or not, they must show enough respect for Dundun.
In fact, no one resisted.
In fact, as long as it helps sell the car, let alone a cat, even showing respect to a cockroach is fine.
The woman was a little disappointed and asked:
"Isn't it okay to pay the full amount?"
"I'm sorry, he is our distinguished guest, no amount of money is acceptable."
Dundun jumped out of the Ferrari and left the exhibition hall.
The woman didn’t want to give up, and she probably wasn’t short of money either, so she said to her friend:
"Come on, let's see which showroom this cat belongs to. I'll buy whatever car it gets into. If you don't believe it, these car dealers won't give it to you."
Dundun twisted her face and took a look, then ran to the Lamborghini showroom, jumped lightly, and got on the concept car worth hundreds of millions...
Then he turned his face and shouted, the meaning was very clear:
"Go away, my mother won't let me play with fools!"
