Chapter 202: Roast Suckling Pig (Part II)

Qin Xu put down the kitchen knife in his hand and turned around, looking at the people who had formed a small circle in front of him, looking at him with surprise on their faces. Vertex M.23us update the fastest helpless road:

"I said, you guys are too underestimating brother, although you don't do it much, but these small dishes, brother still makes them.

"Ahem, what are you talking about?"

Xu Mengyao was choked carelessly, looking at Qin Xu who looked relaxed, and felt helpless in her heart.

When did the famous Manchu and Han Dynasty feast turn a famous dish into a casual side dish?

Stretched out his hand to help Xu Mengyao pat, Qin Xu was funny in his heart, he was deliberately angry with these guys, making you look down on people one by one.

"Okay, let's let me go, look at my brother to show you a hand today, really, the tiger is not powerful, you really don't know how powerful. ”

Seeing that Xu Mengyao was fine, Qin Xu waved his hand and drove Wang Ming and the others away, along with the few girls who had just come up, all of them chattering around here.

"Hey, hey, we've just arrived, and we won't tell us what's going on. ”

Su Rui almost didn't jump up, and finally rushed back from outside with the old lady, and you just didn't say anything, so you drove the old lady back again.

"Ahem, you ask them to go, brother is going to start cooking. ”

waved his hand impatiently, Qin Xu knew that he couldn't take care of this girl, otherwise it would definitely be endless.

With doubts in their heads, Su Rui and Lin Xue walked towards the living room, and even Wu Lan didn't mention the matter of letting the old university cook.

In the minds of several people, Qin Xu's words just now were still echoing, he was going to cook?

"Isn't it, Yaoyao, is he cooking today?"

Looking at Xu Mengyao next to her, Su Rui asked with some astonishment, I didn't hear that this guy used to cook.

"Roast suckling pig. Xu Mengyao replied a little distractedly.

"What do you mean?" Su Rui felt as if something was wrong with her ears.

"Roast suckling pig!" Xu Mengyao came back to her senses and repeated it with certainty.

Su Rui looked at Xu Mengyao, who was very serious, with a blinded expression, looked at the kitchen in disbelief, and asked:

"You mean, Qin Xu is going to be a roast suckling pig?

Qin Xu didn't know about the discussion outside, he was still depressed in his heart, what kind of vision is this, although my brother doesn't usually like to do it, it doesn't mean that my brother can't.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, Qin Xu decided to take out his anger on the unlucky guy in front of him. He turned the boar over, removed the oil from his body, removed three or four ribs from his chest, and took off his shoulder blades by the way.

After removing the ribs, Qin Xu rinsed it thoroughly with water and put it aside to control the water. While controlling the water, Qin Xu checked it again to see if the surface of the pig body had been scraped and cleaned.

But after turning the wild boar around, I couldn't help but praise John again, this old man worked quite neatly, and handled the little wild boar cleanly.

When the water control was almost over, Qin Xu put the suckling pig on the kitchen counter, rubbed the five-spice powder and salt in the pig's abdominal cavity, and began to marinate.

Looking at the time, Qin Xu went to prepare some ingredients first. After marinating for about half an hour, he mixed the prepared sauce, fermented bean curd, sesame paste, sugar, minced garlic, dried shallots, minced onions, monosodium glutamate, corn starch, Fenjiu and five-spice powder, and spread them into the belly of the wild boar.

After coating the seasoning evenly, Qin Xu first put the pot with one pot of boiling water, and then went to find a pine strip about 40 centimeters long and two pine strips more than 10 centimeters long (the long one is used as a straight brace, and the short one is used as a horizontal brace).

Put them in the abdominal cavity of the wild boar to support, and then tie them with iron wire to make the suckling pig shape, and then insert two steel forks in the front and back of the wild boar body to facilitate roasting.

After the wild boar was supported, the water in the pot was almost the same, so Qin Xu directly poured the hot water in the pot directly on the wild boar.

waited until the tender skin of the wild boar was hardened, and then Qin Xu wiped off the surface moisture. Because according to the experience in my head, after this step, a layer of maltose syrup can be evenly coated.

Speaking of this maltose syrup, Qin Xu originally thought that there was no maltose in the manor, after all, he didn't see anyone eating it in the ranch, but he didn't expect to ask around, and John actually said that he had it at home.

Since he had it, Qin Xu was not polite, and directly instructed him to run back quickly and bring the maltose.

Originally, John volunteered to come in and help Qin Xu, after all, he had baked things with maltose syrup before. However, Qin Xu waved his hand and refused.

One is that Qin Xu wants to surprise them, and the other is because this syrup is not so good. Because if you want the finished product to have a uniform color and crispy leather, the quality requirements for the crispy syrup used are very high.

Qin Xu took the malt candy and returned to the kitchen, not looking at the people who were looking at him curiously along the way.

Put the maltose into a small basin, pour about 150 grams of boiling water, wait until it is completely dissolved, and then add white wine and Zhejiang vinegar and stir well, so that it can be made into crispy syrup, and it is also a very good quality.

Because when the syrup is prepared, the maltose must not be put too much, because it contains sugar, and it is easy to color when heated, so that the finished product is black.

After the syrup was ready, Qin Xu evenly spread it on the suckling pig skin, and then hung it in a ventilated place, ready to dry the skin.

Because the moisture on the surface of the pork skin must be dried before the crispy syrup can be coated to coat evenly.

And after spreading the crispy syrup evenly, Qin Xu continued to hang him on the vent and air dry, because only in this way could it be baked.

Otherwise, after the wild boar is roasted, there will be a "flower face" phenomenon.

Everything was ready, Qin Xu began to prepare for roasting, and according to memory, there were two ways to roast suckling pig.

First, it is roasted in an open oven, with an iron rectangular oven, the hearth is burned red, and the suckling pig is placed like a fork, and it is roasted on the fire.

First roast the chest and abdomen, about 20 minutes. Then the roast woman in order, the whole body of the zinc pig, especially the neck and waist, must be pricked with needles to drain the water.

At the same time, it is necessary to constantly brush the oil to wipe off or smooth the oil that seeps out of the body and outside the roast, so as not to flow on the skin or flesh and affect the appearance.

The second is to use a dark oven to roast and use the oven of general roast duck. First, burn the furnace to a high temperature, put the suckling pig ** into the furnace, and roast for about 30 minutes. When the pork skin begins to change color, take it out and prick it with a needle, brush it with oozing fat, and bake it for another 20~30 minutes to cook.

Either way, you must rotate it frequently when baking to achieve a uniform color.

As for the method of identifying ripeness: look at the oil flowing from the pig's body, when it is clear and white, it proves that the suckling pig has been roasted. (To be continued.) )
