Chapter 936: Onion Potato Rings on Chinese New Year's Eve [Ask for Tickets]

Soon, the dish of grilled whole pig's head was eaten.

There are a lot of people, plus this dish is really delicious, and it is made by Xu Zhuo, so everyone ate several pieces.

When the meat was almost eaten in the end, Yu Keke ate it with the green vegetables that were garnished inside and dipped it in the soup.

"Wow, this soup is really delicious, bring me a bowl of rice, I can eat the rest of the soup and vegetables!"

Xu Zhuo smiled and sandwiched a piece of honey sauce fire recipe for her: "There are so many delicious dishes, don't just eat one dish, come and try this, it's also very delicious." ”

Honey fire recipe is a typical Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine and Hui cuisine are all included, Yu Peiyong, as a person who has integrated all the eight major cuisines, will naturally make this dish.

It's a pity that Yu Keke didn't buy it much, she used chopsticks to put the piece of ham meat that had been steamed for four or five hours in front of Xu Zhuo: "I've eaten this since I was a child, and I'm tired of eating it early......"

After saying that, she began to eat the dishes made by the old man, and she didn't give her grandfather any face at all.

Xu Zhuo sighed helplessly, the children of rich families are really different, many people have never eaten dishes, and she still dislikes them.

He put this piece of ham meat into his mouth, and it melted in his mouth with a light sip, and the sweet soup and salty and delicious pieces of meat complemented each other, making people immediately appetite.

The honey sauce fire recipe is also a kung fu dish, and the preparation time is even longer than that of grilling the whole pig's head, which takes about five hours.

However, unlike grilled whole pig's head, the honey sauce fire recipe is a steamed dish, which needs to be steamed from beginning to end.

And when steaming, it is also very particular, not to put the meat in a steamer for five hours, but to steam it in three times.

The first time it is steamed with clean water, at least two and a half hours, the umami and aroma of the ham are hung out with the heat of the steam, and the salt in the ham is diluted by the way.

The second time, rock sugar is added, and then the stock is steamed for more than an hour, and the meat is soaked with the honey made of rock sugar to increase the complex taste of the ham meat.

The third steaming is to put white sugar lotus seeds, so that the flavor of lotus seeds is integrated into the meat pieces, making the taste of ham meat richer, and at the same time, lotus seeds can also relieve the oiliness of ham meat.

After steaming three times, the ham can be placed on a plate, and the steamed soup is poured over and the dish is done.

It's easy to say, but it's not that simple to make, not to mention the amount of water added each time when steaming, and the ham meat that is the main ingredient is very particular.

First of all, it is necessary to use authentic Jinhua ham, and secondly, only the upper part of the fat and thin is suitable, compared to the grilled whole pig's head, the degree of tossing of this dish is not as good as that.

And there is another characteristic of this dish, which is that the sweetness is too high.

The sweetness of this honey sauce is higher than that of grilled whole pig's head, if it weren't for the slightest saltiness in the meat, there would be a feeling of eating dessert when eating.

For this taste, people who like it should like it very much, such as Jiangnan people who like to eat sugar.

But for people who don't like to eat this flavor, this dish is simply hard to swallow.

Xu Zhuo has no dislike for this kind of dish, after all, he ate rock sugar elbows made by the old man when he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to the sweet and salty taste.

Everyone chatted while eating, Yu Coco planned to take a long leave of absence to be a sales manager in Sifang Restaurant next semester, and after this decision was made, his family was quite supportive.

However, although there is support, the reasons are different.

The people in the Yu family think that Yu Keke is not good at studying, and he has been failing his course, even if he has been mixed until graduation, he may not be able to get a graduation certificate, and he has to take the doctor's qualification when he goes back.

The difficulty is too great, it is better to find a suitable job as soon as possible, anyway, the family does not expect her to earn money, as long as she is interested, she can do whatever she wants.

The Xu family felt that it was too hard to be a doctor, and Yu Keke's small body was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so he changed careers in advance if he could change careers, and he didn't need a diploma to be a boss anyway.

In this way, Yu Cocoa officially took office after the year and was responsible for all the online business of Sifang Restaurant.

Because Yao Meixiang also has an online store, she immediately agreed with Coco that the two stores could try to operate jointly after the year.

After chatting with Yu Keke, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Zhuo: "Xiaozhuo, do you have any plans for the new year?"

Xu Zhuo really has a few plans.

The first is to do the two tasks on Feng Weiguo, one is the task of eating crabs, and the other is the task of collecting apprentices, these two tasks must be completed before the end of the year, otherwise they will expire.

The second is the matter of cooking tutorials, now Xu Zhuo doesn't know what to do, he has to go to Yangzhou University to study back, and ten tutorials can get a reward for skill upgrades, this opportunity he doesn't want to miss.

The third is to find a university that can be cooperated, as can be seen from the tasks given by the system, which will be the focus of the next year or two, so take it seriously.

The rest is to cook in the back kitchen, and by the way, do the tasks given by the system, and broadcast it live on the Internet to maintain the existing heat.

He is a very Buddha-like person, as long as the store is stable, he will not take the initiative to fight for anything.

Anyway, according to the current income situation, it will take three or four years to go to the capital, so the focus in the future is still to make money, and the sooner you go to the capital, the better.

Xu Zhuo naturally did not say all these plans, but simply said that on the premise of ensuring that the business would not be affected, he would find a suitable university to contact.

Although Ji Wenxuan's relative may get things done, he still has to make a few preparations.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a few more universities offering culinary majors if it were possible?

Everyone ate and chatted, and the meal didn't end until almost nine o'clock.

Xu Zhuo ate a round belly, but there was still most of the food left on the table, and it was estimated that he would be able to eat leftovers in the next two days.

Chinese New Year, that's it, after Chinese New Year's Eve night to bask in the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, you have to wait until after the third year of junior high school to post photos, the reason is that there are too many leftovers in the Chinese New Year's Eve night, and it takes several days to eat.

And if relatives come to the family during this period, the leftovers will be eaten at least until after the fifth day of the new year.

"It is said that people in the capital eat spring cakes, in fact, they find out the leftovers from the New Year, and then roll them in lotus leaf cakes to eat. ”

Sitting in the back seat of Chen Guifang's car, Xu Zhuo hiccups while chatting with Yu Keke about handling leftovers.

He was too drunk to drive, so Chen Guifang drove him home.

In fact, it was originally arranged to watch the Spring Festival Gala or something, but Yu Keke was in a hurry to come back and video chat with Sun Panpan, and Xu Zhuo also wanted to play two games to relax.

So after the two received the New Year's money from the elders, they took the bear cub back first.

When they arrived at home, the two changed into pajamas respectively, Yu Keke hugged the bear cub and started video chatting with Sun Panpan, while Xu Zhuo took out a can of cocoa from the refrigerator, and then came to the study and skillfully turned on the computer.

Well, in this situation, it's a bit of a ruin not to play a few games.

Happy for the New Year, plus after drinking, Xu Zhuo was very relaxed in playing games, and his luck was also very good, and he ate chicken three times in a row.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's already midnight.

"Do you have anything to eat at home?" I'm hungry......

When Xu Zhuo was playing, Yu Keke came to the study with the bear cub in her arms, and she said that the bear cub also "meowed" when she was hungry, obviously wanting to eat something.

Xu Zhuo minimized the game, only to find that it was already more than twelve o'clock at night.

Because fireworks were prohibited in the provincial capital, there was no sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve, so Xu Zhuo was slightly distracted, he didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

He got up and stretched, feeling a little hungry too.

Although I had eaten so much for dinner, a few hours had passed, and I had already digested it by this time.

It's really time to grab a bite to eat.

Xu Zhuo pinched the bear cub's fat face: "I'll see what we have at home, let's make do with it, I already knew to bring some leftovers from grandma's house......"

Before, because I was full, I didn't even take food with cats when I left.

Fortunately, the bear cub has canned cat food at home, small dried fish and various meat strips in the refrigerator, and he is absolutely hungry, but people don't eat much.

I was at the old lady's house all day today, so I didn't have anything to eat here, so I had some rice, noodles, eggs, and vegetables such as onions and potatoes that were more durable.

In addition, there are snacks that Yu Coco bought online and snacks that he found in the store.

There is food, but what to eat?

This New Year's Eve is Chinese New Year's Eve, can't you eat little raccoon noodles or Lay's potato chips?

But if it was a big fanfare cooking at this time, Xu Zhuo didn't want to move, and after thinking about it, he decided to make a dish that he hadn't done before to spend tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Onion and potato rings? What is this? Is it delicious?"

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "It's absolutely delicious, and the appearance is quite high, which is suitable for you to post on Moments." ”

As soon as she heard this, Yu Keke was energetic, she happily brought the DV and wanted to film Xu Chuang's production process, after all, this is a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, which is quite memorable.

Xu Zhuo didn't refuse, he brought the potatoes and onions at home, and took a few eggs, a carrot, a pack of ham sausages from the refrigerator, and two wilted green peppers, and the side dishes were ready.

After turning on the machine, Xu Zhuo first talked about being hungry with Yu Coco on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then introduced the dishes to be used, and then began to make them.

First, the potatoes are peeled and cut into thick slices, then placed on a plate and steamed.

Because both of them were hungry, Xu Zhuo steamed all the remaining potatoes at home, whether they were delicious or not, but they couldn't be enough, this is a chef's principle of cooking.

Moreover, Xu Zhuo really can't stand not enough to eat halfway through, which is very disappointing.

After the potatoes were steamed, Xu Zhuo began to prepare other side dishes.

The first is the onion, peel off the dry skin on the outside, and then cut the onion rings with a knife with a thickness of half a centimeter.

The onions are layered one by one, leaving all the large circles on the outside, and the finely chopped ones in the middle are gathered together and chopped with a kitchen knife.

Cutting onions is a very torturous job because onions make people cry, but when washed with water, they make the onions taste weaker, so it is very difficult.

Fortunately, Xu Zhuo's knife work was excellent, and he quickly cut the onion, about a large plate of onion rings, and about half a plate of minced onions.

After chopping the onion, Xu Zhuo washed his hands, wiped his tears, and then began to cut the carrots, ham sausages and green peppers, all of which were chopped into pieces the same size as the onion.

After all the potatoes are cut, the potatoes in the pot are almost steamed.

He took the plate out, scraped the potato slices inside into a basin with a spoon, and then used the spoon to grind the mashed potatoes.

Yu Keke and the bear cub next to him all stared at the movements in Xu Zhuo's hands, not knowing what the purpose of this was.

It's understandable that Xiong Cub doesn't understand, but Xu Zhuo has already explained the method just now, and Yu Keke is still at a loss, and can only say that she really doesn't know anything about cooking.

It is said that husband and wife are complementary, and from the point of view of cooking, the two are quite in line with this statement.

"What's next?"

"You have to cool the mashed potatoes, otherwise these minced onions and peppers will be cooked and it will affect the taste. ”

It's midnight in this winter, and it's easy to cool down.

Xu Zhuo came to the balcony, opened the window, and put the basin containing the mashed potatoes in the window, and in about ten minutes, the mashed potatoes, which were so hot that they could not be touched by their hands, became warm.

Back in the kitchen, Xu Zhuo poured all the chopped onions, carrots, green peppers, and ham sausages into the mashed potatoes, then cracked the eggs into them, and then added salt and pepper.

Then stir well with chopsticks so that all the ingredients in the pot are combined.

"If you think it's too thick, you can add some water to it to make the mashed potatoes less sticky, so that it is easier to do next. ”

Xu Zhuo explained to the camera, then put the pan on the stove, and after turning on the fire, the pot was smeared with a layer of peanut oil, ready to be made.

The pan was slow to preheat, and while waiting, Xu Zhuo took an empty plate and put some dry starch in it.

After the oil in the pan is hot, Xu Zhuo holds an onion ring with chopsticks, dips it twice in a dry starch plate, so that the onion is stained with starch on both sides, and then puts it in the pan.

"Why do you put starch in it?

Yu Keke asked curiously, and the bear boy also tilted his head.

"Starch prevents water loss from the onion and gives the onion a crispy texture. In addition, the starch can also make the onion and mashed potatoes better combined. ”

Xu Zhuo explained as he placed starch-stained onion rings in the pot, and when the pot was full, he scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and poured them into the onion rings, and then smoothed them with a spatula.

When the bottom side was browned, Xu Zhuo turned it over with a spatula.

The purple onion rings are filled with yellow mashed potatoes, mixed with diced red carrots, purple diced onions, and green diced green peppers.

In order to make this onion potato ring taste better, Xu Zhuo poured some peanut oil into the pot again.

When both sides were fried and browned, Xu Zhuo took the plate and used a spatula to bring out all the onion and potato rings in the pot, and by the way, he also posed to make this delicacy look more beautiful.

He continued to make it, and Yu Keke went to the living room with the plate of onion and potato rings, and took a DV seriously.

The bear cub squatted on the stove, watching Xu Zhuo's operation, not knowing whether it was curiosity or wanting to help, after Xu Zhuo had just put an onion ring in the pan, it stretched out its paw and pressed it in the pot.

Then he was scalded and jumped on the stove and away from the pan.

However, when Xu Zhuo put the mashed potatoes in the pot, it came over again and stretched out its claws to stop Xu Zhuo from putting the mashed potatoes in the pot.

"Hmm, bear cub, don't make trouble, hurry up and eat your little dried fish......

Yu Keke took the fried onion and potato rings, and ran over to take the fat cat away while eating.

However, Xu Zhuo saw that something was wrong: "This cat...... It seems that I was worried that I would be burned by the pan, so I was not allowed to touch it.

Tsk, are cats that smart enough now?"
