Not all pig heads can be made into grilled whole pig heads, and there is actually a lot of way to do this.

First of all, the size of the pig's head, which cannot be too big or too small, is the most suitable for the kind of black pig head weighing five or six kilograms.

The reason why there is a requirement for size is mainly related to this dish.

If the pig's head is too large, various folds will appear on the pig's head, which are not only difficult to clean, but also have problems such as lymph nodes and excessive fat.

This not only affects the taste and texture of the dish, but also affects the nutrients in the meat, and in severe cases, it can also cause health problems such as diseases to the human body.

The pig's head that is too small not only has the hidden danger of sick pigs, but also has too little fat on the pig's head, and the taste is not delicious.

What Xu Zhuo is cleaning up now is a pig's head weighing about six kilograms, which is very suitable for making grilled whole pig's head, but it does not mean that this pig's head is easy to clean.

In fact, even if the pig's head is suitable and the skills are in hand, the pig's head is very cumbersome to clean up, and if you don't have a certain amount of patience, you can't do this job at all.

Especially when it comes to picking up pig ears, it is a huge test of body and mind. There are not only a lot of dirty pig hairs in the pig's ears, but also a lot of earwax, which makes Xu Zhuo retch while pulling.

"In order to satisfy the appetite, human beings can really tolerate anything. ”

Xu Zhuo was very impressed by the human ability to bear food, but then he thought that his motive for making this dish was just to pretend to be forced, as if he was ......

It's better to satisfy your appetite and say it better.

But what he did was not simply to pretend, but for his family and not to disappoint the people who loved him.

Otherwise, with the attributes of his game house, what is a little vanity?

Is it important to beat the level?

Is it fun to get to the top level?

Did you get a limited number of items to get excited?

In addition, although cleaning pig ears is a bit unappetizing, but think about the pig intestine that has been cleaned up before, it is much heavier than pig ears, so it is not still cleaned up.

Xu Zhuo comforted himself in this way, and with the intention of improving his stamina, he finally cleaned up the miscellaneous hair on the pig's head.

After cleaning the pig's head, it's time to debone the pig's head, which is also the most difficult step in the dish of grilled whole pig's head.

In any dish, the difficulty of deboning is not small, and this is already a high-level knife work.

The pig head deboning, in the category of deboning techniques, is a more difficult one.

In fact, it is very difficult to remove bones not only from pig's heads, but also from any head food, because in the process of deboning, it is not only necessary to be familiar with the head structure of the ingredients, but also to have strength.

Take the pig's head in front of you as an example, when deboning, you must not only accurately remove the meat, but also have enough strength to remove the skull.

As we all know, mammals have very strong skulls and intricate fascial tissues on the skull, and if you want to remove the skull from the head, you must first split the skull.

This is a very challenging step, the force of the chopping is too small to help, but too much force, and it is easy to destroy the quality of the meat.

Xu Zhuo took out a sharp knife and a boning knife, and then took a sharpening stick, and the tools for deboning the pig's head were ready.

Clean the pig's head and place it on the board with its chin side up.

If you want to maintain a good condition of the pig's head deboning, the position of the knife is very important, and it is generally from the pig's chin to the knife and remove the mandible first.

The reason why the jaw bone is removed first is not only to keep the pig's head intact, but also to remove the pig's tongue for cleaning.

There is a layer of tongue coating on the pig's tongue, which has to be torn off before it can be eaten, and if the pig's tongue is in the pig's head, this step is difficult to perform, so take this opportunity to cut the pig's tongue completely.

In addition, the mandible and the skull are connected, and after the mandible is removed, the skull can be dismantled step by step according to the structure of the skull, which is much more convenient than violent disassembly.

Xu Zhuo took a sharp knife and cut it directly into the middle of the pig's chin, cut it straight to the mandible, and then slashed hard, and the entire pig's chin was divided into two halves.

Next, Xu Zhuo took a sharp knife to pick off the fascial tissues on the mandible little by little, and then carefully cleaned out the part where the mandible and the skull were connected.

Finally, he grabbed the mandible and lifted it hard, and the entire mandible, along with the pig's gums, was removed.

After this step was done, Xu Zhuo wiped his sweat, threw the bones in his hand into the trash, and then took a sharp knife and began to cut the pig's tongue.

If it was the bones of other parts of the pig's body, Xu Zhuo didn't mind staying to boil the pork bone broth, but this mandible would be forgotten.

Let's not talk about whether there is nutrition in these bones, just those two rows of dirty pig teeth are enough to make people sick to their stomachs.

Bone broth or something, or leg bones are better, at least there won't be dirty teeth.

It is actually a bit difficult to cut the pig's tongue, because the base of the tongue is connected to the connective tissue on the pig's neck, and it is easy to cut the tongue if you are not careful.

Xu Zhuo first cut the connective tissue near the base of the tongue, and then carefully cut off a whole pig tongue.

However, the tongue coating can't be cleaned at this time, and it can only be torn off piece by piece after blanching, so Xu Zhuo threw his tongue into the basin of water, so that the blood in it can be soaked out.

Then he set his eyes on the pig's skull.

Compared to the mandible, this step is really difficult.

Not only must the skull be removed, but also the pig's head must not be broken, and some fine bones such as the pig's upper jaw pig ears must also be removed.

Xu Zhuo first continued to cut inward along the knife on the pig's chin, and pulled the pork to both sides while cutting, trying to expose the vertebrae behind the skull.

After this vertebra is removed, the pig's brain will be exposed in front of you, but don't worry, the pig's brain is not easy to take out at this time, and it will be broken if you do it rashly, so you have to wait a little longer.

Xu Zhuo first followed the edge of the skull and carefully removed the pork skin little by little with a sharp knife, so that the skull was gradually revealed.

Then take a boning knife and slash twice at the back of the skull.

Wait until the skull is cracked, take a bowl and put it on the board, turn it over with the pig's head, and pat it with your hand a few times, and the pig's brain will fall completely into the bowl.

This is a small trick to get the pig's brain, otherwise if you dig it blindly, the pig's brain will not be complete, and it will even be broken like a ball of tofu brain.

You don't need a pig's brain to roast the whole pig's head, Xu Zhuo put the bowl in the refrigerator, you can put it in and cook it next time you hot pot, this thing is Yu Coco's favorite, but you can't throw it away.

Then, Xu Zhuo continued to dismantle the skull, to cut open the fascial tissues one by one, and he had to be careful not to cut into the nose and ears and other parts that were easy to break the phase.

When cutting to the eye, Xu Zhuo hesitated.

Because according to the traditional practice, the pig's eyes should be cut out in advance, and when the pork is boiled, it will be taken out after a little boiling, and then put the pig's eyes back in place when the dish is ready to be plated.

However, in recent years, this practice has been criticized, because not only does it look a little cruel, but also the big black eyes always look a little cautious.

Therefore, when it is served now, ingredients such as cherry tomatoes or large cherries are usually placed on the part of the pig's eye to play a decorative role.

Xu Zhuo thought about it and felt that the New Year's Eve was really a bad sight, so he used a new method.

Tradition is good, but it can't be inherited in its entirety.

Only by taking its essence and removing its dross can traditional culture better adapt to the current society, otherwise, it will be a historical regression, or it will evolve into a cultural fault.

After the deboning steps are done, Xu Zhuo soaks the whole pig's head in water, which is done to soak out the blood in the meat, so that the meat will taste better.

Moreover, soaking the pig's head after deboning can also make the pigskin slightly twisted due to pulling recover a little.

It would take at least two hours to soak, so Xu Zhuo washed his hands carefully and came downstairs.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Zhuo smelled an enticing fragrance, and something was fried in the kitchen.

Yu Keke sat on the sofa in the living room, with fried Sichuan crispy pork, vermicelli balls, sweet potato balls, crispy fish pieces, fish skin peanuts, lotus root clips, eggplant boxes, and twist flowers in front of him......

The girl was eating a big bite, and at the same time stopped the bear cub from stretching out its claws, and the corners of Xu Zhuo's mouth twitched.

Although these fried foods are really not suitable for bear cubs to eat, but why don't you open a can or something, so greedy and don't let it eat, this is a human thing?

Xu Zhuo quietly took a canned venison from the cabinet next to him, and as soon as he opened it, the bear cub came over and rubbed his trouser leg with his head.

"Oh, why are you feeding it meat? I'm about to exercise its self-control, Bear, why don't we eat it? I'll find you a little female cat when you lose weight......

Yu Coco came over with a mouth full of oil, wanting to stop the bear cub from eating canned food.

Xu Zhuo: "............"

This reason is really strange enough, but is the bear cub this kind of cat who covets beauty?

As soon as Xu Zhuo poured the canned food on the plate, he came over and ate it in a big gulp, completely ignoring the little female cat that Coco said.

even pushed her in disgust.

"Tsk, this cat looks like it's going to mess with me in the future. ”

Xu Zhuo was very happy, grabbed a handful of peanuts and ate them, while watching the fat cat gobble up half a canned meat.

After eating, the butt of this product pouted, and he got into Yu Coco's arms, completely ignoring Xu Zhuo, who was about to enjoy a cat massage.

Typical white-eyed wolf style.

However, Xu Zhuo is curious, this product can usually eat a whole can, why did he eat so little today?

Did you just feed it?

However, judging from what Yu Coco said, it is obvious that there is none.

After the year, I have to take this goods to check the body, there are no hidden dangers.

Next, after Xu Zhuo ate something casually, he went to the kitchen to look at the prepared dishes, and then prepared to go upstairs to continue making the pig's head.

It's ridiculous to say, every time I prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the first one is very improvised, either eat some fried goods or something else.

Sometimes adults who eat too much will say, "What are you doing with so much food?" Keep some stomach saved, it's all delicious at night. ”

Xu Zhuo pinched a piece of crispy meat, pushed open the security door while eating, and prepared to go upstairs to make a pig's head.

As a result, the moment the door closed, the bear cub suddenly rushed out of the house, and then it rushed into the corridor and went upstairs first.

When Xu Zhuo went upstairs and opened the door with the key, the goods rushed in, slipped into the kitchen, and went straight to the trash can in the corner of the kitchen.

Xu Zhuo, who was following behind, saw that the thing pulled out the discarded mandible, and then tore the fascia on the bone hard.

He was surprised, how could this fat cat suddenly become interested in raw meat?

However, there was almost no meat on the mandible, Xu Zhuo took out the skull that he had removed in the morning, and immediately threw away the mandible, quickly pulled out the pig's eyes with his paws, and began to eat them with his paws.

Xu Zhuo was a little speechless when he saw this scene, how could he be interested in raw meat if he didn't eat good cooked meat?

Is raw meat delicious?

But just eat it, after all, it's a carnivore, and it's understandable that you like to eat raw meat, Xu Zhuo didn't care about the cat anymore, and began to clean the pig's head and pig's tongue.

Now that it has been soaked for two hours, it is ready to be blanched.

Xu Zhuo put the pot on the stove, put in the pig's head and pig's tongue, poured water over the pig's head, put a few slices of ginger and green onions, and poured in two tablespoons of cooking wine.

Then boil over heat.

Xu Zhuo was just about to prepare the ingredients for the grilling, when the bear cub suddenly pulled his trouser leg and looked down to see that the goods had also picked out another pig's eye.

At this time, he was grasping with one claw, and handed it to Xu Zhuo when he squatted down.

Xu Zhuo looked at the black lines all over his head, this is ......

Please eat by yourself?

He rubbed the bear's head and said, "Eat it, I don't eat it." ”

After speaking, Xu Zhuo was just about to continue the work in his hand, when a question suddenly came to mind.

Last time, I made cat rice for the bear cub on a whim, and then the system had a reward, so this time it ate raw meat, is it also a hint?

It is said that cats eating raw flesh and bones are not only good for the body, but also have shinier hair, so why not take the time to try it?

Anyway, it's not troublesome, just take the reward if you have it, and there is nothing to lose if you don't have a reward.

Well, I'm not busy checking the raw flesh and bones, and see how to operate at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo began to prepare the ingredients, put the spices to be used into a gauze bag, prepare a green onion knot and a few slices of ginger, and then a pound or so of rock sugar, and basically lived.

Well, this dish belongs to sweet and salty, rock sugar is an indispensable ingredient, and the quantity is large, a pig's head has to be at least one pound of rock sugar, which is very similar to the rock sugar elbow in Lu cuisine.

When it comes to taste, those who like it can't love it, and those who don't like it don't even taste it, but in general, the taste and texture are excellent and not too abrupt.

After the water in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo took a spoon to skim off the foam, and continued to cook for more than ten minutes before turning off the heat and scooping out the meat.

The reason for cooking for a while is mainly to boil out the impurities in the pores of the pig, which can reduce the odor.

After taking it out and rinsing it in warm water, Xu Zhuo took the tweezers and began to check whether there were any pig hairs left on it.

And the well-fed bear cub was also eager to help, but his body was too fat, and he couldn't climb to the workbench after trying several times.

In the end, he gave up on himself and went to the sofa to lie down on the corpse, as if he had given up his cat.

In the kitchen, Xu Zhuo cleaned up the miscellaneous hair cooked on the pig's head, removed the tongue coating on the pig's tongue, and then began to ......

Blanch for the second time.

Well, to make this dish, you have to blanch the water at least twice. After blanching, it is the beginning of the excitement......
