Chapter 7 Braised pork
After posting on Moments, Su Zifang put his phone aside and began to concentrate on his dinner.
After all, praise can't be eaten as a meal, only after cooking, the aroma is overflowing, and the braised pork full of fat can make him get the satisfaction of his stomach.
The sorlop is only a foot long and just the right size. Su Zi let go of the knife and fell, and in a few clicks, a stack of mahjong-sized pieces of meat were piled up on the cutting board, each of which was fat and thin, and he could imagine what it would look like after being made into braised pork just by looking at it.
Half a basin of water has already been prepared next to it, and the cut meat pieces are all put into the basin with a knife, and a layer of oil splashes instantly floats on the water surface.
Su Zifang was a little surprised, it usually takes a few minutes to wash it to have an effect, but today he doesn't have to bother himself.
[The water treated by the water purification device has stronger activity, and the cleaning of ingredients is cleaner. 】
Su Zifang looked at the pop-up window in front of him and suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the prompt for a few hours, and he almost forgot that he was still a systematic person.
However, this function is really practical, and the pre-treatment of ingredients is definitely the most important part of opening a restaurant. The water produced by the system can make cleaning twice as effective with half the effort, virtually saving a lot of labor and water costs.
"In this way, 20,000 yuan a month is not unacceptable!" Su Zifang thought silently.
The first time he cooked in the store, he didn't try to be fast, but still cleaned according to the rhythm and process he was used to, kneading, rinsing, and washing every piece of meat until there was no oil slick, and then spread it out on the kitchen paper to absorb the water.
Picked up a piece and moved it to the tip of his nose, smelled it carefully a few times and didn't find any fishy smell, Su Zifang became more and more satisfied with the black technology provided by the system.
Ma Li prepared the ingredients for braised pork, salt and sugar sauces are readily available, sorted and processed and placed in the dish.
This is Suzi's habit of putting down the kitchen, except for the sauce that must be prepared on the spot, everything else must be prepared when preparing the ingredients, so as not to have an accident after the fire.
Stir-frying sugar color is a technical job, and there are debates on the Internet about whether to use granulated sugar or rock sugar, which is almost irreconcilable with sweet and salty, but it is actually the king to choose the right main ingredient according to the dish. For example, braised pork, you should choose sugar with a thicker syrup color and a stronger aroma.
Suzi put the cold oil in the hot pan and add sugar, wait until the syrup in the pot boils to brown, quickly pour the meat pieces that absorb the water in, and the spatula is like flying, so that each piece of meat is coated in syrup, and then the bottom oil is filtered out from the fire and served aside, and the pan is washed and fried with seasoning.
Ginger slices, star anise, and bay leaves are put into the pot in turn, fried until a rich aroma emerges in the pot, pour in cooking wine, and then pour it into a warm casserole with the meat just served, and add half a pot of boiling water to stew.
Cover the pot and lick the bottom of the casserole on a slow fire, the gurgling bubbles support the aroma of braised pork escaping from the pores, filling the tip of Su Zifang's nose, making him involuntarily speed up the secretion of saliva.
As a chef, he is very confident in his sense of smell, but the final result will not be determined until it comes out of the pot, Su Zifang glanced at the time and silently set an alarm clock in twenty minutes.
......
"Didi!" As soon as the alarm clock rang, Su Zi quickly pressed it off, and the pot, chopsticks, and entrance were all in one go.
"Whew, whew!" two short and one long, three breaths. I checked my eyes, and it was a sound that would only come out when I was burned.
"Hiss!" Su Zi let out a wail and quickly picked up a glass of cold water and rinsed his mouth.
However, when he put down the cup, he immediately picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
This time it wasn't because he was hungry, but he found the braised pork a little strange - delicious!
The sugar color on the outer layer of the meat block is due to the Maillard reaction with the unique burnt aroma of meat, under the sugar color, the rich fat melts in the mouth, and it does not feel greasy at all, and even gives him the illusion that his tongue has been melted, and the lean meat wrapped in fat is clearly organized, and the texture between the teeth of the lower lip is full of texture in one bite.
The trinity of sugar, oil, and meat burst out with a strong sense of satisfaction in Su Zifang's mouth, obviously it was just a salvon produced by feed breeding, but he ate the taste of 5A-grade Wagyu, and the whole person was in good spirits, and he even ate half a pot before revealing an unfinished look.
"Enjoyable!" Su Zifang felt that he hadn't been so presumptuous for a long time.
Since he started to learn to cook, he has restrained a lot of food, no matter how good the restaurant is, what ingredients, as long as the entrance is subconsciously analyzed with ingredients, seasonings, and cooking techniques, but he has lost the most simple pursuit as a diner.
In the words of your roommate: training every day, no matter how delicious it is, it is a homework, do you like to do homework?
But just now this braised pork made him realize that he was so happy to eat delicious things, thinking about it this way, even if there is no system, if he really is a good chef and provides such delicious ingredients for all diners, he will be very happy, right?
Su Zifang thought of an old woman she once saw selling flowers in Shanghai, dragging a long country voice and telling him: "Selling flowers in this life, you will be beautiful in the next life!"
The corners of his mouth can't help but curl, it's good to be a person who creates happiness!
Turning his head slightly, he wanted to see the progress of the system's tasks.
It's just that I didn't expect that after the panel appeared, the first thing that caught my eye was my embarrassing cooking experience, [Specialization: Cooking (Beginner: 129/1000)].
"I don't have experience in making such a delicious dish, this system is poisonous!" Su Zifang's face was full of black question marks .jpg.
However, Su Zifang knows that complaining can't solve the problem, and it is important to figure out the experience increase and decrease system behind the system as soon as possible. So, in the back kitchen of the shop at No. 7 Xile Street, Su Zifang began to talk to himself like a fool.
"How can I improve my experience?"
The system is unresponsive.
"How can I increase my specialization experience?" Su Zifang asked.
【Specialization XP can be improved by completing Cooking】*
Seeing the familiar * sign, Su Zifang continued to unfold without hesitation.
[The system will comprehensively evaluate the mastery proficiency of the host itself and the quality of the cooking, and only those who complete the cooking with no less than the current specialization will gain experience.] 】
[The host's current culinary specialization skill level is beginner: 129/1000, and the system determines that the difficulty of this cooking is within the host's current strength range, and there is no experience bonus.] It seems that he is afraid that Su Zi will not understand, and the system also intimately gave a personalized supplementary explanation.
After reading it several times, Su Zifang understood the system's awkward explanation, and immediately pulled the system's copywriting plan into the small black room and whipped it a thousand times.
Isn't it because the graduate students of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University can't increase their mathematics level when they do primary school application problems, and they want to deliberately embarrass who they want to write so hard?
Having said that, I've seen a lot of news these days, who is not a logical genius!
However, Su Zifang didn't know that this rule was specially set up by the system in order to cut off his idea of brushing experience.
After all, he once mentioned that the water of the system should be bottled and sold, and who knows that there is no experience barrier, in case Su Zifang uses shallots to mix tofu or cold tomatoes to brush up on experience, this matter will be even more interesting.
"Hey...... Where is the sense of trust between people?" Seeing that the idea of relying on cold tomatoes to impact the culinary experience could not be realized, Su Zifang felt a little regretful.
【Please concentrate on improving your cooking skills】
Probably feeling Su Zifang's thoughts, the system also deliberately popped up a prompt dialog box, full of likes.
"Isn't it just cooking?,Who is afraid of who.,I'm also the one who collected all the delicious food.,The halo of the protagonist.,I know!" Su Zifang turned off the dialog box and hiccuped full, "Uh, it's so fragrant!"
