Chapter Eighty-Nine: Clay Pot Stew!
The earthen pot is out of the kiln.
The remaining jars are placed in a ventilated oven and continue to cool.
The pottery bowl buried in the campfire was also dug up by Xu Le and placed on one side to cool down.
In the clay pot, the yellow lamb belly and cut the lamb chops are placed neatly.
Sprinkle in the sliced ginger and fresh peppercorns.
Then pour in the freshly beaten pool water.
Xu Le used a few pieces of wood to build a stand across the campfire, and then hung the earthen pot on it.
Boiled meat in cold water.
Goodo...... Goodo......
After a few minutes, the water temperature slowly began to rise.
Grunt...... Grunt......
Xu Le looked back at the arrogant black skin and the expectant white skin, and the two of them turned their heads to the side at the same time.
The face is flushed.
Tut...... There's no shame in being hungry......
Lin Aojiao can't let go of the burden of idols, forget it, stupid Bai Tian, what are you shy......
As the temperature of the water in the pot rises, the remaining blood foam in the lamb floats.
Xu Le used a long-handled soup spoon fired in clay to skim off the foam, and the color of the soup gradually became clear.
In this way, by brewing with running water and cold water to force blood foam, the part of the mutton that brings a bad smell is basically removed. β
Xu Le explained as he rolled the wooden rod hanging the earthen pot and pulled the earthen pot away from the campfire.
"Once the water is boiling, we can turn the heat down. β
"Cover and simmer. β
The lid of the earthen pot has two layers inside and outside, the inner layer is slightly narrow and flat, and there are two air holes on the left and right pokes on the lid.
The lid of the outer layer bulges upwards and has only one air hole.
Adjust the position of the two lids so that the three vents appear exactly one triangle.
"The triangular arrangement of the pores allows the steam to be exhausted and provides a small high pressure inside the pot. β
"It's like a pressure cooker. β
"The inner wall of the clay pot is thicker, and the bottom is thicker, and the pile of mud I use is not too delicate when mixing mud. β
"So the finished product has dense pores, a slightly rough surface, and strong thermal penetration and water storage capacity. β
"Storing high temperature and high pressure, let's look forward to the mutton stewed like this. β
Silly Bai Tian nodded after listening: "I heard the chef in the house also say that a good earthen pot is rare." β
"It's not that just the wall thickness is enough, there are many other properties, such as thermal expansion rate or something......"
"It's all important. β
"It's more complicated than making clothes, I don't remember ......"
The more she spoke, the more her head shrank back, and at the end, she smirked at Xu Le embarrassedly "hehe".
Showing white tiger teeth.
"It doesn't matter. β
Xu Le suppressed his urge to go to RUA to get her bird's nest head, "Simmering for an hour is enough." β
Barrage in the live broadcast roomββ
"Can't you? Is an hour enough? My family stews mutton, two or three hours. β
"Stewed meat, the meat is not rotten after a short time, and it won't stuff your teeth when you eat it?"
"If you don't stuff your teeth, you can't bite your meat if it's not rotten!"
"Didn't the big guy Xu Le say that there is an earthen pot, the big guy said yes, then it must be okay. β
"That's it, I believe in Xu Le. β
"Didn't some buddies go stew just now?
"Here, the meat has just been delivered, and the cold water skims the foam......"
"Then I estimate that Big Brother Xu Le has eaten and drunk enough, and you may still be waiting for meat. β
β......β
Take advantage of the fine "grunt" sound in the earthen pot and the small "grunt" sound in the black and white belly.
Xu Le took the dogwood and wild onion that he had just put aside for later use.
Eat the red lantern-shaped fruit of dogwood, chopped and crushed.
Wild onions are also treated in the same way.
"Hey, what are you crying on your thighs......" Meng Yiyi asked curiously.
"I think of the past few days, sleeping in the open air, and living a good life......
Xu Le wiped a handful of tears with his arm, "Yiyi, why are you crying?"
"Woo...... I haven't eaten or drunk for the past few days, and I can't sleep well, so I'm having a hard time...... Woohoo......"
"What are you two playing...... Lin Xihan frowned and leaned over.
"Ahh......h Is the wild onion so eye-catching......"
She also wiped a handful of tears, "You two...... It's interesting, it's not interesting!"
Crushed dogwood puree and wild onion puree, mix well in a clay bowl.
A few mint leaves were also taken, the juice was crushed out and stirred in the wet mixture.
Grind the well-defined coarse salt grains from the rock salt and place them in another bowl to make the dry ingredients.
Xu Le used thatch to pad his hands and uncover the two lids of the earthen pot.
In the clear, slightly milky white soup, the mutton is trembling slightly with the churning of the soup.
There is no need to confirm the entrance, and it can be seen with the naked eye that the lamb has been thoroughly cooked.
The unique meaty aroma of mutton, as the lid is lifted, comes out, like a flower that blooms in an instant.
Fish and sheep are fresh.
The flavor of the fish is the smell of the sea.
The flavor of the mutton comes from the mountains, the soil and the meadows.
"I can't smell the smell at all...... Lin Xihan didn't hold back and exclaimed in a low voice.
"What a fuss. β
Xu Le skimmed off the thick oil slick on the surface of the soup with a spoon, then took out two bowls of meat and handed them to the two people who couldn't hold it.
