Chapter 519: A Taste of Goose (continued)
After Wuyan got a large fan, the effect was really good, and the moisture on the goose dried at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the process, the sauce and the goose are quietly changing. The flavor of the sauce gradually penetrates into the goose meat, and the skin of the goose tightens, separating a layer of crystalline oil from the subcutaneous.
"Boss, can you bake it?" asked Five Eyes.
"No, there's one last process. ”
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he took a large bowl, mixed honey and white vinegar into crispy water according to a certain proportion, brushed a layer on the skin of the goose, and then hung it up to dry.
After blowing for about fifteen minutes, after the crispy water dyed the white and tender goose with a faint layer of yellow, Liu Mang stepped forward and pressed it with his hand.
"Little Five, let's raise the fire in the oven, it's ready to be baked. ”
"Okay!" Five Eyes replied, walking to the large vat on the side of the kitchen, and was stunned when he saw it.
"Boss, this oven is in tatters, can it still be used?"
The diameter of this large vat is about one meter, and there are already many slight cracks on it, all of which are tied up with a wire as thick as a little finger so as not to fall apart, and it should have been used for many years.
"Don't underestimate this vat. Lin Xiao walked over: "This vat is one of the heirlooms of the Manhan Building. Without it, this 'one-dish goose' would have lost a lot of color. ”
"It's not that mysterious, is it? Isn't this just an ordinary clay pot? Five Eyes tapped it with his hand and said.
"This vat should have been used to make wine, right?" Liu Mang also walked over, took a closer look, and said.
"That's right. This vat has a great origin, and it is a wine vat used for winemaking during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Because of the perennial storage of spirits, the aroma of wine is hidden in the tank. When roasted, the aroma of this wine can penetrate into the goose and add to the flavor. ”
"Let's talk about it!" Five Eyes was a little unconvinced: "Even if there is the aroma of wine in it, how can it still taste after such years of burning? ”
"You're right! Even if the vat is brewed for hundreds of years, the smell of the wine in it will fade over time. Therefore, after each use of this jar, it must be carefully wiped clean, and then the best Moutai liquor will be smeared. Lin Xiao replied.
"Really?" Five-Eyes put his head to the mouth of the tank and sniffed, and sure enough, he smelled a strong aroma of wine.
"Hey!
"Of course, it's the devil in the details! It takes a lot of effort to make a great meal. Lin Xiao replied.
"Okay, stop, turn the fire up, I'm going to start roasting the goose." Liu Mang interjected.
"Roger!" Five Eyes pulled out a piece of firewood from the basket next to the vat "I still have to ask, these firewood look very special, are they exquisite?"
"Of course, this is lychee wood, and it can be used to barbecue goose to have a faint aroma of fruit wood. ”
"Awesome!" Goyan put the firewood into the vat and lit it up with an igniter.
After the five eyes raised the fire, the vat reached a certain temperature, and the firewood all turned into red coals, Liu Mang hung the two kinds of geese into it and covered the lid of the vat.
"It's not easy to eat a roast goose, it took more than two hours before and after. Five eyes looked at his phone and sighed.
"Do you think it's egg fried rice, just stir-fry it and it's OK?" Lin Xiao sniffed: "I think it's too little, these two geese are probably not enough for you, a dead fat man, to eat alone!"
"I've been losing weight lately, just eat a goose leg. Five Eyes patted his fat belly and smiled.
"Are you serious, don't rob me later!" Lin Xiao was obviously a little unconvinced.
After more than 30 minutes of smoking, a strong smell mixed with the aroma of wine, meat, and fruit wood wafted out from the gap in the lid of the vat.
'Gollum!' Five Eyes and Lin Xiao swallowed at the same time.
"It smells so good!"
Liu Mang stepped forward, lifted the lid, and took the two geese out of the vat.
"Damn! it's going to glow!" Five-Eyes rubbed his eyes and let out an exclamation.
The roast goose in Liu Mang's hand was golden and translucent, and when it was illuminated by the kitchen light, it was like gold, shining.
The dazzling color and the shimmering shine on it, just one glance makes people salivate.
Liu Mang placed the roast goose on the cutting board, and then took a bone-chopping kitchen knife: "Little Wu, bring a bowl." ”
"Come on, come on!" Five Eyes hurriedly took out a large blue and white bowl from the cupboard and placed it on the cutting board.
took out the iron needle that was sewing the goose**, and the kitchen knife in Liu Mang's hand immediately cut it.
The sharp blade sliced open the belly of the goose, and a stream of steaming juice quickly flowed out and flowed into the large bowl below.
The flavor of the sauce is combined with the water and oil that flows from the roast goose, and after baking, this ultimate soup is formed in the belly cavity of the goose.
When the soup in the belly of the two geese runs out, Liu Mang then chops it into pieces and puts it on the plate, and finally pours the soup flowing from the belly evenly.
"Eat it, if you don't like the taste, you can also dip it in sour plum sauce. ”
"Then I'll eat it!" Wuyan rubbed his hands, and couldn't wait to grab a goose leg and bite it hard.
The crispy skin crumbles under the bite of the five eyes, and the tender and juicy goose meat gives a great sense of satisfaction as you chew it.
The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, the bone is fragrant, fat but not greasy. The aroma of meat is also mixed with the aroma of fruit wood, which is mouth-watering.
"It's so cool!" Wuyan gnawed a goose leg clean in a few bites, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and stretched his hand into the plate again.
"Dead fatty, didn't you say that you would lose weight now and only eat one goose leg?" Lin Xiao, who was gnawing on a goose wing, scolded.
"Lose a yarn! I'll never say it again. Five-eyed smiled, grabbed a goose leg again, and nibbled on it.
Liu Mang also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste: "Well, it's no wonder that this 'one-dish goose' can be sold in Manhan Tower, and it really has its unique place." ”
Generally, the roast goose made from ordinary domestic goose tastes good, but the taste is slightly greasy, and the meat quality is coarser than that of chickens and ducks.
However, the goose raised by this special method in Manhanlou has much less subcutaneous fat, probably raised in a tile urn all year round, and there is no exercise, its meat is very delicate, and it has a feeling of melting in the mouth.
The specially raised goose, after being cooked in a method similar to that of 'Cantonese roast goose', is even more crispy with crispy bones, and every bite is a touching taste.
