Chapter 383: Tufa Roast Pig (II)
As Five Eyes stuffed large handfuls of hay and firewood into the pit, the fire beneath the mound grew brighter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The temperature of the fire carried away the moisture contained in the river mud, and the air evaporated into a thick mist.
"Little Five, quick! Splash the water on it. After burning for more than an hour, seeing that the mud on the mound had dried up, Liu Mang hurriedly sprinkled the water.
"Mr. Liu Mang, are you afraid that the river mud will crack if the temperature is too high?" asked Staver.
"That's right. Liu Mang nodded: "If the temperature in the stove is too high and the river mud is too dry, I am afraid that it will collapse." ā
"It's amazing!" Angus exclaimed, "I never thought I could make an oven in the wild." ā
"Yes, Mr. Angus. In this way, not only meat can be baked, but also bread and cakes can be baked, as long as there are enough ingredients. ā
"Also, I'm curious, why do you want me to leave the pigskin? In the wild, I peel off the skin directly, because it is very troublesome to shave the hair off it with a dagger. ā
When Liu Mang asked Angus to cook wild boars just now, he specially explained that the pigskin must be kept, and it must be scalded with boiling water first, and then scraped clean with a dagger.
"Pork skin is a good thing, in our country, it is a very delicious ingredient, and it is not limited to leather goods. Liu Mang explained.
"If I throw you into a primitive society, I think you can lead primitive people back to civilization. Staver licked his lips: "Mr. Liu Mang, you are the real master of survival." ā
"It's over. Mr. Staver. Liu Mang smiled shyly: "I'm just a chef." There will be a lot of unknown factors in the wild. For example, I don't know how to face dangerous climates, or ferocious beasts, and even without tools, it is difficult for me to raise a fire. ā
"But there's good food, isn't it?" Angus laughed.
After more than two hours of fierce fire, a sweet and greasy smell of meat came from the cracks in the mound. The smell of this meat is faint and faint, teasing people's sense of smell.
"Hello, Boss, how long is this going to be roasted?" asked Goyan, snorting.
"It's still early, but the fire can be a little smaller. Liu Mang leaned in front of the mound and fanned his nose with his hand.
This method of roasting pigs using the soil method is somewhat similar to the roast suckling pig in Cantonese cuisine.
In GD traditional customs, roast pig or roast suckling pig is a common sacrifice for various festive occasions. As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jia Siqian had already recorded the roast suckling pig as an important culinary technical achievement in the "Qi Min Yaoshu".
He wrote: "The color is the same as amber, and it is like real gold, and the entrance disappears, strong as snow, moist with slurry, and special and ordinary." ā
However, the general roast suckling pig requires a special stove and cannot be operated in the wild. Therefore, Liu Mang combined the Cantonese-style roast suckling pig with the clay oven roast pork recorded in the "Tiaoding Collection" to make today's dish.
Five Eyes removed some of the firewood from the mound tunnel, leaving only the red-hot charcoal. But even so, the red-hot rocks and mud kept the temperature quite high. As soon as a person approaches, a scorching heat can be clearly felt.
Another three hours passed, and it was getting dark. The tents in the camp had been set up, and the campfires had been raised in the evening. Everyone surrounded Liu Mang's mound and looked forward to it.
"It's exciting to think about it! How delicious it would be to roast wild boar meat for nearly a day. Wang Bo rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"It's a pity that you can't drink alcohol, otherwise you will take a big sip of wine and meat, and it will be so pleasant. Five Eyes patted the kettle full of liquor with a look of regret.
"It's okay, you can't drink it openly, but you can drink it secretly. Wang Bo shook his kettle: "Authentic De Maria ice wine! Let's get some meat and go to the tent to drink some later." ā
"No problem. Five-eyed smiled, and there was a kind of joy of meeting a confidant with wine.
After waiting for another hour, when the temperature of the mound was not so hot, Liu Mang picked up a bowl of thick firewood.
"Is it okay to eat?" asked Angus.
In this show, Angus has been completely conquered by Liu Mang's food. completely forgot that in previous shows, he was a fierce man who swallowed earthworms raw and chewed raw meat.
"Let's go!" the stones and hard mud from the mound peeled off little by little as the sticks struck.
"Poof!" As the first hole appeared, a hot air mixed with a strong aroma gushed out of the mound.
"It's so fragrant!" many celebrities exclaimed.
If the aroma that seeped out of the mound just now was a gentle drizzle, then the current aroma was a violent flood! constantly hitting everyone's olfactory nerves and tickling the hungry worms in their stomachs.
As Liu Mang continued to knock down the stones around the wooden frame, the roast wild boar, which had been hidden for an afternoon, finally revealed its full appearance. It is like a bride who lifts her hijab, showing her beautiful face in front of everyone.
This colour comes from the golden honey and egg whites of birds' eggs, which have been roasted at high temperatures and left traces on the pigskin.
At the same time, the sealed environment and extreme heat forced out the oil under the skin of the wild boar, so that the color of the pigskin was not only golden, but also smeared with an attractive oily shine.
"Gollum. "The sound of swallowing saliva is incessant.
Liu Mang took out the dagger and beckoned: "Don't be stunned, everyone, bring your lunch box." ā
"Oh, oh......"
A large piece of pork loin with skin was cut off from the wild boar by Liu Mang and put into Wang Bo's lunch box.
The steaming heat fascinated Wang Bo's eyes, and the bursts of fleshy fragrance made the saliva in Wang Bo's mouth secrete a large amount involuntarily.
Wang Bo used the dagger to gently do everything, and with a 'click', the outer layer of flesh skin seemed to be made of caramel, and it immediately shattered when forced.
Tie a piece and put it in your mouth, bite it down heavily, and the rich juice in the wild boar meat gently ripples in your mouth.
The salt that has been applied in advance has penetrated into the pork and given it a salty taste. The honey applied on the outer layer fills the skin with a rich sweetness.
Sweet and salty ā these two flavors combine in the mouth, and the tender pork is rich in satisfaction.
In addition, the quality of wild boar meat is a little leaner than that of captive-bred domestic pigs, not so greasy, but a bit like mutton, very tender.
Compared with Wang Bo, who gobbled up, Andy's eating appearance is much more elegant.
She carefully cut off a small piece of golden roasted pork skin and put it in her mouth.
The golden roasted pork rind is even crispier than expected. Sent to the mouth, before the bite is opened, it is gently broken in the mouth, and the mouth is full of burnt aroma.
The sweetness of the honey seems to blow like a spring breeze, making people's mouths and tongues indulge in it, unable to extricate themselves.
"Well, it's delicious!" Wuyan grabbed a pork leg directly and gnawed on it until his mouth was full of oil.
"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you. Yang Yan couldn't help but glance at him.
"Wow! It's God's work!" Stafford exclaimed as he ate a piece of pork, "Mr. Liu Mang, is the skin of this pig because of the egg white?"
"That's right, it's a technique in Chinese cooking, where the skin of meat is coated with egg whites and starch sugar, and then baked or fried to create a crispy effect. Liu Mang laughed: "Mr. Staver, the bird eggs you brought back can add a lot of color to this dish!"
