333 Goodbye plum salt
"Is this the pork head meat made by Chef Zhou?"
Baiweisheng was slightly stunned, and became rare and serious.
Pig's head meat is the first dish in braised dishes, and braised vegetables are a cuisine with a long history and its own characteristics in Chinese cuisine.
If we go back to history, braised vegetables should have originated from 'road vegetables'.
In ancient times, transportation was not developed, merchants traveled, scholars went to the examination, officials and officials took office, and the security bureau darts, and it was inevitable that they would miss the accommodation when they encountered wind, frost, snow and rain.
What should I do if I miss the accommodation and don't eat or stay?
There was no takeaway in those years, and it was good to say that there was no accommodation, but the big deal was that the sky was the ground, and the things that could be eaten were more headaches, and the dry food could be kept in good quality, but it couldn't just gnaw dry food, right?
Wealthy businessmen and officials turned to cooks for help, and so there was a 'road dish', which can not only ensure the taste, but also have the function of shelf-este, and braised vegetables have become an indispensable part of road dishes because they are easy to eat, taste good, and are more convenient to preserve than ordinary hot dishes.
That's why it is said that if there is a road in the world, there must be marinade, how can there be no pig's head meat if there is marinade?
Braised vegetables are also divided into north and south departments, including red breight, salt baked, spicy and so on...... Among them, spicy originates from the two lakes and Sichuan, and the spicy rabbit head in Sichuan cuisine is the representative, and the salt-baked Jiangbei and Jiangnan are all available, but when it comes to red brine, there is a saying that 'red brine is not the river since ancient times'.
Red halogen flourishes in the north and ends in Huaiyang. That is, at most to the area of Gaoyou and Yangzhou, Jiangnan people love to eat light taste, and boiled and dipped in old sauce is their most typical way to eat.
Chudu is connected to the north and south, and the four provinces of Tonghui, the development of braised vegetables in Chudu is far better than all over the place, but there is no foodie who has been to Chudu who does not know, and gradually its reputation spreads far and wide.
Braised vegetables around the country are nothing more than around pigs and cattle, which are mainly pork, most of them are in the water, and pig's head meat has become the most special braised vegetables, and the price is the cheapest in braised vegetables, but it is not easy to make people boast about it.
Not to mention the refrigerated pork head meat, it is normal time to change it, let alone let Baiwei eat it raw, even if it is for him to take a second look, it is not a dream!
However, since it was done by Zhou Dong, Baiweisheng still had to be treated solemnly, and gently picked up a piece of meat and passed it over the end of his nose, his eyes lit up slightly.
The color of the refrigerated pork head meat is not bright enough, and the fragrance is also locked in a lot, but it is obviously placed in the refrigerator, but it does not emit a trace of miscellaneous smell because of cooling.
Only then did Bai Weisheng believe that Wu Rongrong was not lying, and it was really a good thing that even they themselves were reluctant to eat, if it wasn't carefully sealed and preserved, it would be impossible for this pig's head meat to be free of miscellaneous smell if it was placed in the refrigerator for a long time.
Put it in the mouth and bite it gently, the outer layer of the pig's head meat that is slightly hard after cooling does affect some of the taste, but no one is disgusted by it, a faint meat aroma is quickly filled in the mouth, compared to the hot fat and fragrant fresh pork head meat, it is actually a different taste.
"I didn't expect it, but the refrigerated pork head meat has a different flavor?"
Fan Minh Jen has been a culinary heirloom for generations, so he naturally won't be a mallet, so he nodded again and again after eating: "The general red braised pork head meat, even if it is covered with spices, will inevitably leave a trace of pickled taste, so the chef will list the pork head meat as a hair product like mutton......
But the pork head meat made by Chef Zhou does not have this problem at all, if he uses thirteen, fourteen spices and other domineering spices to cover up, but he can't eat the taste of spices, the entrance meat is fragrant, it is completely the original taste of pork, can it be said that he has also mastered the secret recipe of marinating pork head meat without spices?"
Bai Weisheng smiled: "Actually, he still uses spices."
Since spices exist, there is a reason for existence, and although they are subordinate things, they are still indispensable in some dishes.
It's just that it depends on the chef's control ability, if the control is good, that is 'the lord is wise and virtuous', and if the control is not good, it is 'the lord is weak and the minister is bullying',
Later, when the way of food arrived, what was important was a 'pursuit of original taste', but the original taste was good?
For example, this pig's head meat is naturally pickled more than other parts, so does the chef still have to retain these pickled flavors for diners?"
Seeing Fan Mingren smiling and nodding, Baiweisheng talked better: "The so-called pursuit of original taste is actually to use various means to remove the bad taste in the ingredients and retain the best, these methods are not only a variety of cooking techniques, but also the use of various spices and spices.
Legend has it that when you reach the realm of the god chef, you can even use only plum and salt to blend the world's ingredients!
And the pig's head in front of us ......"
The thin monkey San'er raised his head with a mouthful of pig's head meat: "No, Mr. Bai, I didn't taste the smell of plums?"
"Hehe, you are smart and keen, no wonder you are called the 'Great Sage' of the Fan family.
You guessed it right, the seasoning used in this pig's head meat is just a taste of salt, and the spice is just a plum, and it should be more than half of the yellow plum season, and the half-sour and half-sweet plum produced is half.
After the sweet and sour are combined, all that is left is the unique fragrance of plums, which can be used to remove the peculiar smell of pork head meat. ”
Baiweisheng's complexion moved frequently, and he sighed lightly: "It seems that Old Man Cai is still too biased, how can such a character be described as a 'heaven-shaking cauldron'?"
Thin Monkey San'er grinned and said, "What do you say you should call him, Mr. Bai?"
Could it be that because he is proficient in this way of 'plum salt', he still has to give him the nickname 'Yizhi Mei'?"
Wu Rongrong, who was standing not far away, was furious when she heard this, this person is so hateful, he dares to arrange my male god like this!
You're a plum, you don't sound like a good person!
Fan Mingren saw that Wu Rongrong's expression was wrong, and he frowned secretly, San'er was still too frivolous, if this word reached Zhou Dong's ears, what else did the Fan family ask others to join?
Hurriedly diverted the topic: "Mr. Bai, the ancestors once said that when it comes to the highest level of cooking, only plum salt is enough. Let's put aside the dishes that require chili peppers in the emerging Sichuan, Jiangxi and other cuisines, is there really such a thing?
There are also many famous chefs under the Fan family, but as far as I know, there is really no one who can make food with only plum salt. ”
"That's the modern chef dazzled by the myriad of spices!
This plum salt is actually the first seasoning found by human beings, in addition to not being able to cover the spicy and bitter tastes, it is enough to reconcile all things!
Gu Zhiyi Ya and Yi Yin are all using these two flavors to reconcile food, and as far as I know, in the vicinity of the Jianghuai land and Chudu, there was once a god chef haunting.
This 'the best taste in the world is plum salt', but what he often says, he says, and he does it. ”
Bai Yusheng sighed: "Actually, my grandfather still has some relationship with this god chef, this time I am willing to accept Mr. Fan's invitation to come to Chudu, not all for Zhou Dong, in fact, there is also the idea of visiting this god chef......
"God Chef!"
Fan Mingren's big eyes widened: "Mr. Bai, don't entertain me, is there still a god chef in Huaxia now?"
