Pot roast duck is a relatively weighty dish in Shandong cuisine and Central Plains cuisine, this dish is crispy on the outside, fresh and tender on the inside, beautiful in appearance, good in color and taste.

In the dish of roast duck, the most important thing is the use of pot roasting techniques.

It can be said that if you master this technique, you can make many similar dishes, such as pot roast elbow, pot roast chicken, pot roast pork, etc.

The so-called pot grill is not a cooking technique that combines various methods such as boiling, steaming, and frying, rather than putting ingredients in a pot to braise them.

It is somewhat similar to the deep-fried purple crispy pork of the Central Plains cuisine.

However, fried purple crispy pork is to boil and then steam the ribs with the skin, and then fry them several times until the skin is charred and crispy.

As for the technique of pot roasting, when frying, the prepared paste should be hung.

After getting this technique, Xu Zhuo's first consideration was whether to introduce a new one in the store.

If this dish is new, it should be quite popular.

After all, this dish is not only a famous dish of Shandong cuisine, but also a traditional famous dish in the Central Plains.

But the preparation of this dish is too cumbersome, and Xu Zhuo is worried that the gains outweigh the losses.

And the main ingredient used in this dish is duck meat, the price is low, if it is sold at a high price, it will be accused of being black-hearted, but if the price is too low, the kitchen will not be able to make a difference.

So Xu Zhuo thought about it for a long time and decided to do it first tomorrow when he went to the old lady's house.

Not only to honor the old man, but also to see the old man's opinion.

After all, he has been in the catering industry for decades, and the old man knows better than anyone what dishes are popular and what dishes are flashy.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo took out his mobile phone and called Jianguo.

"Tomorrow when you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, buy me a duck with a slightly larger head, and it should be slaughtered freshly, not cold. ”

When I was cooking in the store today, because I bought a golden gourd from the supermarket next door, Jianguo kept nagging.

Then let him buy the duck that he will use tomorrow, and see how cheaper the duck he can buy.

Regarding Xu Zhuo's [fo] request, Jianguo naturally did not refuse, and simply agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Keke, who heard the movement, came to the kitchen wearing her newly bought pink panther cartoon pajamas: "What are you buying ducks for?

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Tomorrow I will send this yellow rice cold cake to my grandmother, and by the way, I will make a pot of roast duck for you to taste." ”

"I've eaten roast duck in a pot before. Is it the kind where duck is marinated and then fried?"

Yu Keke said that this method is the practice in the capital, which is different from the pot roast duck in Central Plains and Lu cuisine.

The practice in Beijing is to marinate first and then fry, and the finished product is a bit like Shaanxi's gourd chicken.

However, the practice in the Central Plains and Lu cuisine is much more cumbersome than that in the capital.

Not to mention boiling and steaming, the steamed duck meat should be cooled and chopped, and then patted into cakes with dry starch, and hung with crispy paste on the outside to fry in the pot.

Finally, cut into small pieces, served with shredded green onions and cucumber strips and sweet noodle sauce, and eaten in lotus leaf cakes.

The way it is eaten is similar to roast duck, but the taste and texture are far from roast duck.

Xu Zhuo raised his hand and put the hat of Yu Keke's pajamas on her: "You'll know if it's delicious tomorrow, let's go watch TV first, little leopard, I'll be done in a while." ”

Got up early, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke came to the store and had breakfast first.

Today's breakfast in the store is more innovative, and it is actually soy milk fritters and egg leek buns.

This is probably what chef used to do, and it was his turn to tinker with it in the morning.

Xu Zhuo has long said that breakfast can be made and eaten as much as you want, and there are no restrictions.

When most people hear this kind of remarks, they probably think that the restaurant is extravagant and wasteful.

But in reality, this is not the case.

This kind of casual play is indeed more than the operating costs in ordinary restaurants, but it is not so much that it is staggering.

The food we eat is full of oil and water, so the amount of food is not very large.

On the contrary, the cost of a breakfast with clear soup and little water is not low.

Because the employees did not eat oil and water, they had to eat as much as they could if they wanted to last until lunch.

This kind of working meal can easily provoke dissatisfaction in the hearts of employees, and their first way to vent their dissatisfaction is to waste food.

They will hold the mentality of "I can't eat it and won't let you save it", and throw away the buns in two bites, and throw away most of the remaining half bowl of porridge.

And because the oil and water they usually eat are insufficient, many employees will develop the habit of stealing food.

Although there is an old saying that "a cook doesn't steal grains and doesn't harvest them".

But for a restaurant, this is a very bad phenomenon.

In this regard, Sifang Restaurant has done a very good job.

Even Yuan Kang felt that the spirit and personal quality of the employees of Sifang Restaurant were higher than those of Xiangmanlou.

After breakfast, Xu Zhuo took the fat and big duck and some green vegetables that Jianguo bought, and took a few packets of small dried fish for the bear cub, and Yu Keke went straight to the old lady's house.

In the car, there was a yellow rice cold cake that Xu Zhuo took out of the refrigerator this morning, and it was still cold to the touch.

Yu Keke pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, and then looked at the duck on the back seat.

"I'm really curious about what the pot roast duck tastes like, in order to eat this delicious dish, I didn't eat enough and deliberately kept my stomach, if it didn't taste good, you would have to compensate me." ”

Xu Zhuo pouted, this girl had just eaten several fritters and drank two bowls of soy milk.

At this time, he actually said that he was not full......

In the future, she will not be allowed to lose weight, and the amount of food will increase every time she loses weight, and if she continues like this, it is only a matter of time before she becomes a little fat person.

After coming to the old lady's house, she was once again robbed by the bear.

But today, before Xu Zhuo took out the dried fish to pay the toll, the "robber" was hugged by Yu Keke's hands.

Not to mention the dried fish, even the cat's body is free.

The bear boy was reluctantly hugged by Yu Keke, his face full of sadness.

Xu Zhuo first brought the dishes to the kitchen, and then took out the yellow rice cold cakes made last night for the old lady to taste.

"This is what I made last night, I have been leaving it in the car just now, it is not too cold now, grandma, you can taste it, if you like to eat it, I will send it to you every day." ”

The old lady had just had breakfast, but she wasn't hungry at all.

But after all, it was sent by her grandson, and she happily tasted two pieces, and praised them for being delicious.

It was the old man, who kept his face gloomy, until Xu Zhuo took the yellow rice cold cake and let him taste it, and then threw down his mobile phone angrily: "Why don't you respond to the eight calves of the Ge family? It's not our family's temperament to be a turtle with a shrunken head all the time, if it weren't for your grandmother to stop me, I would have taken the high-speed train to the capital two days ago to scold them." ”

Xu Zhuo smiled, slowly said his plan, and promised to definitely let the Ge family find teeth all over the place, and the old man's mood recovered a little.

The Ge family has a kindness to the old man, so the last time the Ge family was looking for trouble, the old man didn't say anything.

But the other party has been stabbing his grandson one after another, and you can't do it no matter how graceful you are.

However, Xu Zhuo's plan was quite interesting, and the old man decided to wait and see.

If it doesn't work, he will go to the capital and scold the people of the Ge family in front of the gongs and drums.

After his mood eased down, the old man tasted the yellow rice cold cake made by Xu Zhuo, then got up and said, "Aren't you going to make a pot roast duck......?"
