Chapter 159: Cooking the World (I)

At the end of the game, the trio returned to the hotel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Mang wanted to heat up the rest of the dishes and make a supper by the way, but as soon as he entered the kitchen specially prepared for him in the hotel, he heard the sound of 'Bilibili' coming from inside.

"Brother Lin, are you here?" walked in to take a look, and found that Lin Xiao was rolling up his sleeves and chopping the meat filling on the board with two kitchen knives. And Xiaomeng and Jeba, on the other hand, sat next to them with a small stool and looked forward to it.

"There was something at home temporarily, and I was delayed for another day, and I only arrived today. Lin Xiao put down the kitchen knife, picked up a towel and wiped his hands.

"Hello!Chef!" Li Ruonan beckoned.

"Hello, brother and sister!" Lin Xiao smiled.

Li Ruonan was overjoyed, secretly glanced at Liu Mang, and saw that Liu Mang did not refute, his face turned slightly red.

"Damn, Xiaolinzi, what are you doing? It's so fragrant?" the five eyes squeezed in.

"It's a hodgepodge! Just in time you're back, I don't have to add more food. Lin Xiao replied.

"It's hot pot, isn't it? It's cold, it's just right to eat hot pot!" Liu Mang sniffled, smelling a strong smell of butter in the air.

"Spicy hot pot, I like it!" "Five-eyed laughed happily and walked over to the microwave, ready to heat up the rest of the roast suckling pig in his hand.

"Okay, I'm here to help, too. Brother Lin, are you ready to boil the bottom of the pot?" Liu Mang pulled an apron and tied it around his waist.

"Well, the bottom of the red oil pot is boiled, and there is still a clear soup pot bottom, isn't this British comrade unable to eat spicy. ”

"Xiao Wu, you go wash some vegetables, and I'll make crispy meat and fish balls. Liu Mang commanded.

"The hot pot made by the chef god? I really haven't eaten it! I'll go get the wine!" Li Ruonan was also interested, and ran out in a hurry.

Liu Mang walked to the aquarium in the corner of the kitchen, fished out two silver carp weighing four or five catties from it with a net pocket, slaughtered and washed them, and removed the head and tail, leaving only the middle section.

Then use a quick knife to cut off the skin of the fish, remove the main spines, place it on a cutting board, and scrape back and forth with a sharp blade to remove the fish puree.

The biggest advantage of this is that it can completely avoid the fine spines on the silver carp and make the taste of the fish balls better. And those ordinary cooks, the practice of pureing with a food processor, in Liu Mang's view, is not what a professional chef does.

Remove the fish puree, marinate it with egg whites, salt, pepper and starch, and roll it into lychee-sized fish balls.

Liu Mang took another piece of pork belly from the refrigerator and began to prepare to fry the crispy pork.

When it comes to Bashu, the first impression in people's minds must not escape the same - that is, hot pot.

The hot pot of Bashu is famous for its numbness, spicy, fresh and fragrant. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, the boatmen on the Yangtze River stopped the boat and lit a fire to cook to ward off the cold, and used chili pepper, Sichuan pepper and butter to blanch various ingredients.

Later, after other people ate it, it was unspeakably beautiful, so it spread ten, ten and hundred, and spread at various wharves along the Yangtze River.

Bashu hot pot comes from the folk, sublimated in the temple, whether it is a peddler pawn, a dignitary eunuch, a literati, a businessman and a farmer, or a red man and a green woman, yellow hair and drooping hair, its consumer group covers a wide range of people, and the number of per capita consumption is large, which is beyond his reach.

And to eat authentic Bashu hot pot, you must have these things. hairy tripe, goose intestines, crispy meat, pig brains, duck belly, kidney flowers, fish balls, Xuewang......

When these ingredients are boiled in the spicy pot of red soup and dipped in sesame oil saucer, between the spicy and fragrant, there is really only one word to describe - cook the world!

Cut the pork belly into finger-length sizes, marinate it slightly with salt, then add egg liquid, five-spice powder, Sichuan pepper powder, and sweet potato powder, mix well, put it in the pot and fry it until it is golden brown, and it is ready to go.

Generally, outsiders will think that crispy pork is also eaten in hot pot, but it is not.

Crispy pork in Bashu is a precursor before eating hot pot. It will not be too fat to make you tired, and it will not let you be eaten too much by the meat, and it will be difficult to continue the next gluttonous feast!

It is simple to make, without the slightest spicy taste, and only one or two peppercorns can dexterously drive away the fishy smell of meat.

A good crispy pork is the same as sour plum soup, which is a must-have baptism in the mouth before eating all the main dishes of hot pot!

In addition to these traditional foods, Liu Mang also added some other things.

Anyway, in the kitchen prepared by Li Ruonan, there are many good ingredients, if you don't get something rare, it will be too sorry for the hot pot soup base made by Lin Xiao, the kitchen god.

The red salmon meat is cut into thin slices and used to replace the 'fish fish' often eaten in Bashu hot pot.

Wild matsutake mushrooms flown in from Yunnan are cut into two-inch thick slices and sprinkled with some sea salt.

The Wagyu beef shoulder imported from Toei has a beautiful pattern like marble, and it is also cut into palm-sized slices.

King crab in Alaska, only take those long legs, use scissors to take out the white and tender crab meat inside, and blanch it in the pot, what is the taste?

Soon, all the ingredients were ready, and a large round table was set up. Li Ruonan came back with a waiter and brought three boxes of imported German dark beer.

Lin Xiao's coriander balls and the bottom of the hot pot have also been boiled.

In the kitchen space, a spicy, fresh and fragrant smell fills the air. Just by taking a sip, a wave of heat rises from people's hearts, as if the cold air of winter is invisibly dispersed.

"Everyone, let's eat!" Five-Eyes couldn't wait to sit down with chopsticks.

"Wait a little longer, the flavor of the bottom of the pot is not yet fully cooked, you can eat a few pieces of crispy meat first. Lin Xiao poured the sesame oil into a dish with salt and minced garlic and made a dipping dish.

"To eat Bashu's spicy hot pot, you must dip it in this 'sesame oil dish' to eat it authentically, and it is best not to add green onions and coriander, the taste of the hot pot is already very strong, and if you add too much base taste, it will destroy the taste. ”

"No, I used to go to eat hot pot and saw someone serving sesame sauce. ”

"Are you sure you're eating Sichuan hot pot? Northerners eat mutton shabu-shabu with sesame sauce, that's because the weather in the north is cold, and their soup base is not spicy. The climate of Bashu is humid and warm, and a large number of chili peppers and peppercorns are put into the bottom of the pot, which is easy to get hot. And the biggest effect of sesame oil is to relieve fire and relieve greasy, and what has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors makes sense. Liu Mang explained.

"This roast suckling pig is good, who made it?" Lin Xiao brought the prepared sesame oil dish to the table, picked up a piece of suckling pork brought back by Five Eyes and put it into his mouth.

Luo overbearing. Liu Mang replied lightly.

"Really, can he make this taste, then he must have won, right?" Lin Xiao looked surprised.

"The rotten ship still has three pounds of nails, and I was forced by my boss, so I didn't work hard!" Five-Eyes pouted.

"The taste of this pork is very special, it must have been specially raised before slaughtering, right?" The kitchen god is the kitchen god, and after tasting it, I guessed the cat greasy in the suckling pork.

"Well, this suckling pig was roasted by Luo Badao with the 'medicinal poria pig' raised. With this dish, he defeated Tan Yitian of Shuiyueju. Liu Mang replied.

"No wonder! Luo Badao must have been instructed to know. Lin Xiao nodded and added: "But even so, he won't be able to jump for long, this win, he will meet you sooner or later!" (To be continued.) )
