Shabu mutton?

Xu Zhuo didn't expect the little girl's thinking to be so out-of-the-box, and she actually came up with the idea of eating mutton shabu.

It's cooling down today, and it looks like it's going to rain, so it's time to eat shabu mutton.

However, if you eat shabu mutton, the ingredients don't seem to be complete.

The first thing that Xu Zhuo thought of was leek flower sauce.

This thing is not easy to buy in Lin Ping City.

"There is no leek flower sauce in the store......"

"No, no, I don't like to eat anyway. ”

Since the little girl has no opinion, let's do it.

Anyway, the store has the best Ximeng mutton, and it is absolutely no problem to make shabu mutton.

After Xu Zhuo stirred the sauce, he dipped it with chopsticks and tasted it, the taste did have a hint of peanut sweetness, and it was very fragrant and delicate.

It's really good as a dipping sauce.

The rest is simple.

Xu Zhuo brought a piece of mutton in a soft and frozen state from the cold storage.

Before it was completely civilized, he began to use a knife to cut the meat into thin slices.

The old man, on the other hand, began to prepare the dipping sauce.

The freshly prepared tahini is just the first step.

Next, it's time to dilute the tahini.

The people of the capital call this step the sauce.

As a person who has been in the capital for several years, the old man is very familiar with this step.

He brought an empty basin and scooped a few spoonfuls of the mixed Erba sauce into it.

Then bring some warm water and stir it into the tahini in small amounts and many times.

Tahini is very absorbent, so in the beginning, every time you pour water, it will be quickly absorbed by the tahini, and even the sauce in the basin will become more viscous.

But as the amount of water increases, the tahini gradually becomes thinner.

Wait until you scoop it up with a spoon and the tahini can fall slowly and continuously in a straight line.

After doing this, the old man poured two spoonfuls of white sugar, two spoonfuls of oyster sauce, some light soy sauce and a little rice vinegar into it.

Then continue stirring so that the ingredients are incorporated into the sauce as well.

Then take a few pieces of tofu, crush them with a spoon, and mix them in.

The dipping sauce for eating shabu mutton is basically ready.

The little girl looked at the dipping sauce made by the old man, and asked curiously, "Why did they put other ingredients when I used to eat shabu mutton in the capital?"

The old man explained with a smile: "When the mutton is not good, the ingredients should be put more, so as to suppress the smell of the mutton." ”

Under normal circumstances, now is the time for Feng Weiguo to shout 666.

As a result, Meng Weiguo was still in a daze.

There is no consciousness that a fan brother should have.

So the old man couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Feng Weiguo came to his senses at this time, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I remembered some things from the past, and in a flash, it was sixty years, and time passed so fast. ”

The old man nodded: "Yes, time flies so fast, I feel like I was still doing a state banquet in the Great Hall yesterday, but I didn't expect me to grow old like this in a flash......"

Feng Weiguo stood to the side, saying that he didn't want to deal with this pretending criminal.

People are hurting the spring and autumn, if you don't coax, forget it, you still want to pretend to be forced.

You're still not the big brother Xu who shush the cold and ask for warmth?

Feng Weiguo glanced at the old man resentfully, but found that the old man didn't look at him at all, but was instructing Xu Zhuo how to cut mutton.

However, Feng Weiguo was not annoyed, and looked at the old man's back and poured cold water.

"If you have a copper pot, you can eat shabu-shabu, and you won't wait for an induction cooker to make do with it, right?"

The old man patted his head, and really forgot about the copper pot.

Feng Weiguo laughed when he saw the old man's reaction.

"You don't really plan to use an induction cooker, do you?" but it doesn't matter if you use it, anyway, we eat it ourselves, so we don't have to be too particular about it......

The old man glanced at him: "It's just that you eat by yourself, so you have to pay attention to it." ”

After speaking, he said to Xu Zhuo: "Let Grandpa Feng cut the meat, you go home and move the copper pot over, buy some charcoal by the way, and then go to the forest park to get some mountain spring water." ”

Feng Weiguo glanced at him in surprise: "Is there really one?"

The old man snorted coldly: "If you don't have a copper pot, can you still be considered a master of Lu cuisine?"

Xu Zhuo took Yu Keke out.

The two went home first, found the copper pot at home, and put it in the trunk of the car.

I went and bought some smokeless fruit charcoal.

Then drive straight to the forest park and use a large plastic pot to fill a pot of mountain spring water for kimchi.

"I'm curious, how can I use mountain spring water to eat shabu mutton?

Because she came out with Xu Zhuo, the little girl seemed very excited.

Seeing Xu Zhuo carrying a large pot of mountain spring water, he was a little curious about what kind of operation this was.

She remembered that the mutton shabu she ate in the capital last time seemed to be the bottom of the soup pot, and there were all kinds of soup in the store.

Faced with the little girl's doubts, Xu Zhuo patiently explained to her.

"The delicious mutton shabu is soaked in clear water, but considering the taste of tap water is too bad, this mountain spring water is used. ”

"Is that delicious?"

"Look at the quality of the meat, good meat will be delicious when it comes out, and poor quality meat will be shabu with a pot of blood foam......"

When they returned to the store, the two old men were cutting meat.

Xu Zhuo cleaned the copper pot, then covered it, lit the charcoal and put it in.

Then pour some mountain spring water into the copper pot, and throw in a few green onions, a few slices of ginger, and a small handful of wolfberries.

This way of eating is called minimalist hot pot.

The demands on meat and dipping sauces are very high.

Bring the copper pot out and place it on the dining table outside with a large plate.

Then Xu Zhuo took out the cut mutton, cut some tofu, soaked some wide noodles, and tore some cabbage leaves.

The rest of the dishes depend on Cocoa and other people's requests.

Anyway, there are a lot of ingredients in the store, so you can prepare whatever you want to eat at any time.

According to the old man's introduction, the traditional mutton shabu does not have many ingredients, and the main thing is to eat meat.

After eating the meat, I will have some tofu and cabbage vermicelli, and I will fill my stomach with hot baked cakes.

The main reason for this is that the conditions at that time were not good.

Without plastic greenhouses, other light meals would not be able to be stored until winter.

But now, there are plenty of side dishes to choose from.

For example, all kinds of greens, lotus roots, radishes, sweet potatoes and the like.

As long as you want to eat shabu-shabu, there is no dish that you can't eat shabu-shabu.

After Xu Zhuo prepared the shabu-shabu, he began to serve dipping sauce to a few people.

Place the mixture in a small bowl and sprinkle with some cooked sesame seeds.

Serve out chopped coriander and chopped chives, chili oil and garlic puree, and add as you like.

When everything is ready, the lamb is almost cut.

Several people sat around the copper pot, quietly waiting for the water in the pot to boil.

"I like to eat wide noodles and when the water boils, I will go in and boil them. ”

The little girl was holding the plate of wide powder, and her eyes were full of little stars.

As a result, the old man said: "Shabu mutton is not eaten like this, you have to shabu first and then other dishes, so that the taste is better." ”
