Chapter 620: Purple Cover (Part II)
After cutting the stewed meat, Liu Mang took a few more eggs and prepared to start frying them in the pot.
The eggs are laid by the Luhua chicken in the kitchen god space, compared to the eggs sold outside. These eggs are slightly smaller in size and have a dark earthy yellow shell.
Knock one of them, the egg white is viscous, the egg yellow is golden and translucent, and there is no trace of fishy smell. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and start stirring.
The eggs used to make this dish are very particular about stirring. When stirring with chopsticks, the action should not be too large, and only gently stir in one direction.
The purpose of this is to keep the egg mixture from foaming, and when it is fried in the pan, the skin of the meat slices can be flat and not foaming.
After the egg mixture is stirred, Liu Mang puts the cut stewed meat into the egg mixture, and gently shakes the meat slices with chopsticks to let the egg liquid evenly wrap the meat slices.
Next, put the pot on the stove, pour in a small half pot of salad oil, and start to prepare for frying.
"Chef Liu Mang, this year's World Chef Contest is about to start, won't you participate?" asked Hu Zhiqing.
"Huh, do you still know about the Chef God Competition?" said Liu Mang, who was holding a basin and waiting for the oil temperature to rise, in surprise.
"Of course, our TV station can buy the exclusive rights to broadcast the God of Kitchen Competition. ”
"Oh, it depends, maybe you go, you may not go. ”
"You should participate, with your skills, you can definitely get a trophy back. ”
"Well, I'll think about it. ”
When the salad oil in the pan began to calm down and a faint green smoke came out, Liu Mang quickly put the meat slices into a colander to filter out the excess egg liquid, and then sent it into the oil pan with the colander.
"Boom!" As soon as the hot oil touched the egg mixture, it made a popping sound, and the oil pan immediately boiled.
"Wow!" Hu Zhiqing, who was staring intently at Liu Mang's cooking, was startled by the voice.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine soon. Liu Mang took a step back and replied while avoiding the splashed oil star.
After only eight or nine seconds, the excess water of the meat slices was dried by the hot oil, and the egg liquid on it quickly solidified.
Liu Mang hurriedly stirred it with a colander to evenly stir the meat slices in the pot to prevent sticking, and fried them for about ten seconds, and immediately scooped them up.
In Suzhou dialect, it means to put it in a pan and explode, and this dish is also the most particular about the heat, and the longer the stewed meat sticking to the egg liquid stays in the pot for one second or less, it will affect the final taste of the dish.
The fried stewed meat is put on a plate, the slices are golden and brilliant, the egg aroma and the meat aroma are combined, and then the hot oil is stimulated, and together they converge into a peculiar fragrance.
"It's so fragrant!" Hu Zhiqing sniffed, and then added: "There is a kitchen god as a boyfriend, boss, your girlfriend must be very happy." ”
"Really?" Liu Mang replied lightly, and sent the plate to the bar: "Eat it while it's hot, it's not tender when it's cold." ”
"Well, okay. Hu Zhiqing picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of stewed meat from the plate.
The stewed meat is cut very thinly, and after being fried with egg wash, it naturally shrinks into a cylindrical shape, which is somewhat similar to the fat beef often eaten in hot pot.
Clamped it and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it, Hu Zhiqing let out a sigh.
I thought that this stewed meat should be crispy after being fried in a pot with egg mixture, but the truth is just the opposite. The egg wash on the outside is quickly fried and removed when it has just set, and it still retains its smooth and tender texture. When you bite it gently, it is as soft as silk on the tip of your tongue.
Chew again, the stew inside is fat but not greasy, salty and fragrant, after a long time of simmering, the taste of various spices completely penetrates into the meat, every time you chew, you can enter the nasal cavity with the breath in the mouth, making people have a long aftertaste.
"Awesome!" Hu Zhiqing reluctantly swallowed the stewed meat in her mouth, and exhaled softly: "It would be better if I had some more wine." ”
"Yes. Liu Mang opened the cabinet at the bar: "Which one do you want to drink?" ”
"Boss, why are you selling wine to hide?" said Hu Zhiqing with a smile.
"No, usually my cabinet is open, but I forgot about it when I was busy cooking today. Liu Mang proposed a bottle of Qingqing Zijin: "Drink this bottle, the alcohol content is not high, and the taste matches my plate of purple caps very well." ”
"Okay, listen to the boss's arrangement. ”
Liu Mang took a glass wine glass and sent it to Hu Zhiqing. Hu Zhiqing poured it full and drank it all.
"Well, it's a good wine. Hu Zhiqing licked her lips: "Sweet and sour, it suits my taste." ”
"You eat slowly, I'll clean up. ”
"Boss, you can have a drink with me. Hu Zhiqing was silent for a moment and said.
"Huh?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and took another cup: "Okay." ”
"Here, cheers. Hu Zhiqing helped Liu Mang fill it and picked up the cup.
"Cheers. ”
After drinking this glass of wine, Liu Mang returned to the back kitchen. After a while, the door was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in from the outside.
The man is tall in a light gray suit. The woman wore a royal blue professional skirt and snuggled up to the man, looking like a bird.
"Good evening, owner. The woman took the man's hand and smiled.
"It's you. Liu Mang looked up and laughed.
When this woman fell out of love last time, she once brought a bottle of whiskey in the store to buy it and got drunk, so Liu Mang was impressed.
"This is my boyfriend. The woman tugged at the man's sleeve: "Boss, do you still have beef brisket and shrimp noodles today?" ”
"There is no brisket and shrimp noodles. There is a new dish boiled purple cover, do you want to have a try? ”
"Okay, let's have one. The woman pulled the man to sit down at the bar.
"Wait a minute, it'll be right away. Liu Mang put down the rag in his hand, opened the door of the refrigerator, and took a few more eggs.
Soon, a pot of fried purple lids was delivered to the bar.
"It turned out to be fried crispy pork. The man glanced at the plate and said.
"It's a bit like fried pork, but it's not fried pork, you can taste it. Liu Mang handed over two pairs of chopsticks.
"Honey, do you want to drink?" the man asked as he looked at Hu Zhiqing, who was taking a sip.
"Don't drink it. The woman shook her head.
"But I want to drink uh. ”
"Then I'll see you drink, I'm afraid of getting drunk. ”
"I'm all fruit wine, the degree is not high, and I can't get drunk. Liu walked to the counter at the bar: "What do you want?"
"I want that pink, it looks good. The man replied.
"This kind of wine is called Mo Shang Hua Blossom, which is brewed with peaches, and is taken from a letter from Qian Biao, the king of Wuyue, to his wife. ”
"Boss, you said I want another bottle. Hu Zhiqing interjected.
"Okay, I'll sell you another bottle if you're still not drunk after drinking it. ”
