Chapter 003, New Year's Banquet 1 (Celebrate the poodle off the single, plus more!)

There is no Chinese New Year's Eve this year, so the twenty-eighth is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wen Xi, who has been taking it for the majority of fans and friends for a year, is ready to show Fu's mother today, according to Wen Xi, Fu's mother has no chance to see his craftsmanship!

"Okay, okay, mom doesn't help, just sit here today and wait for my family Xixi to cook for me!" Fu's mother, who sneaked into the kitchen to help, was blasted out by Wen Xi mercilessly.

According to the recipe drawn up by Wen Xi, it is enough for a person to be busy all day, and Fu's mother just feels sorry for her son and wants to go in to help!

"Mom, I can really handle it! Rookie, show my brother my mother!" Wen Xi closed the kitchen door, the rookie stayed in the living room to supervise Mother Fu, and Xiaoice was instructed by Wen Xi to peel garlic, this guy peeled garlic first-class!

In addition to big fish and meat, you also have to eat dumplings and meatballs during the New Year!

The sacrifice had to be made with white meat, that is, boiled meat. Therefore, Wen Xi is going to make a dish of white cut meat, mixed with sauce that is more delicious than returning to the pot meat; the chicken also has to go to the altar, and the integrity of the chicken body must be maintained, and the whole chicken after marinating is put into the oven and roasted until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which is a good dish; Smoked fish Wen Xi does not plan to eat it for the time being, and then put it away after the whole thing is put on the altar for the ancestors to enjoy. As for the fish that means that there is more than enough every year, Wenxi also has fresh fish.

It stands to reason that fresh fish is most suitable for steaming, and what Boya sent was a big fish caught in Chagan Lake in winter, which was not suitable for steaming and eating, so Wenxi prepared to slice the fish fillet and marinate it, and when the time came, it would depend on the taste of Fu's mother whether to make boiled fish fillets or sauerkraut fish.

The dumplings are all dried bamboo shoots and tofu stuffing wrapped by Fu's mother in advance, winter bamboo shoots are rare, and Fu's mother replaces them with soaked dried bamboo shoots, which is more flavorful than fresh winter bamboo shoots.

Of course, the meatballs have to be big meatballs, the traditional meatballs are minced with filling, and the steamed buns are dipped in the filling and blistered to soften and stir evenly, and Wen Xi plans to use the southern meatball method at this time, so he has to prepare in advance.

"Xixi, do you know where to put things?" Fu's mother shouted uncomfortably at the door frame, Wenxi is good outside all year round, it would be good to be able to eat where to put the salt shaker, can you find other things?

"Yes!" Moon Hee replied loudly. He retained the function of the system to find the ingredients, regardless of whether it was locked in a cabinet or ground into powder and packed in a bag, Wen Xi could find it at a glance.

For example, the glutinous rice used to make meatballs was brought back by Wen Xi from Academician Yuan's experimental field, and it was only two catties in total. After Fu's mother received the glutinous rice, she packed it in a vacuum packaging bag and put it in the incubator, if Wen Xi didn't have the function left by the system, he might not be able to find out.

Considering that there are many elders who like to eat meatballs, Wen Xi hesitated for half a second to soak all the glutinous rice, and when the time comes, he can make as much as he can, and if the glutinous rice is not enough, he will make a lion's head, and it will not be wasted.

The ingredients for the big dish are ready, and the side dishes only need to be cleaned, so Wen Xi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work.

The white meat in Wen Xi's mouth is not the white meat in the nutritionist's mouth, it is simply boiled meat. To make white meat, you have to choose pork that is seven parts fat and three points lean, and the fat meat on the tip of the buttocks is not greasy, which is most suitable for making white meat.

The Wen family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner only has Wen Xi and Mother Fu, plus twist flowers and milk candy can't eat much, so Wen Xi only prepared eight taels of buttocks meat, the amount is almost not to mention, and it can also take a good omen.

The buttocks of white meat have to be peeled, and the subcutaneous tissue must be left, fortunately, Wenxi's knife work is good, and the skin removed from the buttocks can be completely stolen, and when the time comes, they can also make a pork skin jelly when they are saved together.

Put the whole piece of peeled buttocks into a cold pot and boil over high heat, cold water can make the texture of the pork more delicate, and the high heat quickly boils the water, so that the fat in the fat can fully seep into the boiled water.

The boiling water brings out a large amount of fat, which forms a white foam on the surface water. Wen Xi held a thin colander in front of the stove and kept skimming off the white foam, until there was no longer a trace of white foam floating in the pot, Wen Xi put on the bamboo drawer, pressed the whole buttocks with a heavy object to prevent the meat from floating, and then simmered for about 1 hour on low heat to be considered halfway done.

It's okay that it will take an hour to cut the meat for white, and Moon Hee is using this time to do something else.

The main ingredient of the roast chicken should also be marinated in advance, the whole tender chicken is blanched in boiling water for three or five minutes, and the tender chicken that has just come out of the water is put into monosodium glutamate, salt, Huadiao wine, pepper powder, onion, ginger and garlic to make a sauce while it is hot, and the muscles absorb the taste of the sauce between the hot expansion and cold contraction, and the marinade can be put into the oven for half an hour.

This process took Wen Xi ten minutes, and the remaining twenty minutes can be used to chop the minced meat.

The hand-minced meat filling is stronger than the meat puree ground by the machine, and Wen Xi dices the seven-point lean pork into cubes, and then chops the meat filling with two knives. The rhythm of the undulating double knives on the board is clear, and the diced meat gradually turns into meat paste on the board, but the area around the board is still clean, and no meat is splashed out at all.

Not counting the minced pork, Wen Xi added two more eggs from Gao Laozhuang.

"Ah, double yellow eggs!" Xiaoice's head was almost in the porcelain bowl, and it was the first time he had seen a double yellow egg.

"Guess how many yolks this egg has?" Wen Xi picked up another egg, he chopped a little too much meat filling, and he had to add another egg.

"It's still a double yellow egg!" Xiaoice looked at the egg in Wen Xi's hand, round, according to the law of more yolk in round eggs and more protein in long eggs, this egg must be a double yellow egg!

"Bingo, that's right!" Wen Xi tapped open the egg in his hand, and two slightly smaller egg yolks slipped into the porcelain bowl. Another double yolk egg!

Double double yolk eggs are a good sign, Wen Xi remembered his scarf account that he hadn't taken care of for a long time, and immediately took photos and uploaded updates:

I am fortunate to meet two double yolk eggs, and I wish you all double your happiness in the new year!

The doubling of the egg yolk gave Wen Xi endless motivation, Wen Xi added water starch, salt, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, pepper, and a little water to the porcelain bowl in turn, and then stirred vigorously in one direction to mix evenly, and mixed for 10 minutes in one breath without effort.

After the meatballs were prepared and the tender chicken was almost marinated, Wen Xi took out the whole chicken and drained it, and stuffed the chicken belly with shiitake mushrooms, garlic cloves, green onions and other ingredients before putting it in the oven. The belly of the whole chicken is filled with food, so the breast and abdomen have to be roasted longer than the back, and the length of time is up to the chef. According to the size of the whole chicken and the tenderness of the meat, Wen Xi first set a 25-minute timer.

After doing this, Wen Xi had already passed an hour before the white meat began to boil, and at this time, he had to use a tool to measure the heat of the white meat - bamboo chopsticks.

Wen Xi can use bamboo chopsticks to insert the raw pork to the end, and after pulling out the chopsticks, there is no blood gushing on the surface of the buttocks, and there are fewer oil stains on the surface of the chopsticks, indicating that the heat of the white meat is just right.

"Out of the pot! Xiaoice, find me a coarse cloth!" Wen Xi can call Xiaoice, Fu's mother likes steamed buns, and there must be a clean coarse cloth in the kitchen.

Xiaoice was fortunate to not be dishonored, and the white and fragrant white meat gradually cooled under the coarse cloth, just waiting for Wen Xi to adjust the sauce is a big dish of the New Year!
