Chapter 7 The correct way to make shredded pork with fish flavor
"Shao'an! How do you cut pork? Didn't I teach you? Cut cattle and sheep horizontally, cut pigs vertically! Cut pork vertically according to the texture of the meat!" Chef Niu sternly corrected Shao'an's mistake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Master Niu, I know! Shao An immediately changed his way of cutting meat.
Chef Niu finally showed a smile on his face after three days of torture, and Shao An tortured him alive for three whole days! from morning till night, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Shao'an stood on the stove, holding a kitchen knife and processing the ingredients in front of him at a glance, speaking of which there are not many ingredients that need to be processed, nothing more than lettuce, pork, black fungus, green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., the production method of fish-flavored shredded pork is not difficult, and it can even be said to be an entry-level dish, but it is this dish that even ordinary people can easily get started has become so difficult in Shao'an's hands.
In fact, this is not the case, Shao'an himself actually came into contact with the dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, and a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and all of this information was information about this dish.
Including the allusions, origins, and practices of fish-flavored shredded meat, they are clearly displayed.
Shao An accepted this information very calmly, just kidding! If there are no these benefits, then what kind of energy will the traverser have!
Mastering the recipe and information is not at all the same as being able to cook this dish, and the foundation and experience are the most important.
If there is no guidance from Chef Niu, just relying on Shao'an to teach himself this dish, then you can imagine what the fish-flavored shredded pork will be like at the end.
Recipes are always theories, how many grams of salt to put in, how many spoons of cooking wine, how much sugar to put in, what vegetables to put a few things, how can these things be mastered by a rookie who has just learned to cook.
In the past three days, Shao An did have the intention of deliberately making things difficult for Chef Niu, in many places he had obviously mastered it but deliberately pretended not to master it, such deliberate difficulties made Chef Niu very helpless, and the continuous repetition of the demonstration still played a great role, at least Shao'an now even sleeps and dreams are the techniques demonstrated by Chef Niu in dreams.
It's not so easy to be a chef, it's not easy to make a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, and there are many ways to choose the ingredients alone.
There are requirements for the selection of the main ingredient pork, and the pork should be selected as three percent fat and seven percent lean pork to be cut into silk and smooth stir-fry, so as to make the texture of the shredded meat fresh and tender, and what does the pork look like with three fat and seven lean?
For three days, Chef Niu was not busy letting Shao An start stir-frying, all the time he chose to let Shao An get familiar with the materials and practice the basics, I have to say that this kind of training is very useful, at least now Shao An can start to independently select good materials and process them into what he needs.
Shao'an's appearance of using the kitchen knife still looks very jerky, and the speed is not fast, but the posture of his knife is very correct, his hand is very stable, and the ingredients under his knife can still change into the shape he expected.
Chef Niu is relieved! Shao'an has finally started to move forward on the right path with his unremitting efforts, and the next course is the moment to decide success or failure.
"Shao'an, after you finish processing these ingredients, let's start making them, you must have been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Chef Niu said.
"Master Niu, are you saying that I can finally start the fire and start cooking?"
"Yes, you can start learning to stir-fry, and I know that you envy the apprentice of Mr. Ma who can stir-fry for some days. Master Niu said.
"Master Niu, you wait! Soon I will be able to finish these ingredients. After Shao'an finished speaking, the speed of cutting vegetables instantly increased a notch.
========================================================================================================================================
"Yes, the ingredients are pretty good, but you still need a lot of practice. Chef Niu looked at the ingredients that Shao'an had processed and said.
"Well, Master Niu, I remember, are we going to start stir-frying next?"
"Don't worry! I haven't even done the preparation yet!" said Chef Niu
"Master Niu, then what should we do next?" asked Shao'an
"You go and prepare the shredded black fungus, shredded lettuce, green onion, ginger and garlic first, and then you go find an empty bowl and put the shredded meat in it separately. Chef Niu commanded.
"Master Niu, I have already done as you instructed. Shao An was busy for a while, and completed the matters arranged by Chef Niu properly.
"Shao'an, the next process is the most important, let me show you personally! This time you must observe carefully. "Chef Niu is colorful.
"Yes!" replied Shaoan.
"You can see clearly that this is dry starch, mix it with water starch and mix it with shredded meat, which can make the fried shredded meat more smooth and tender. ”
Chef Niu explained to Shao'an while demonstrating, "Don't put too much water in the idea, just use these to mix water starch, remember to mix the water starch and shredded meat evenly, and ensure that each shredded meat is wrapped with water starch.... Wait for it to marinate for five minutes. ”
"Next is the configuration of the sauce, which is the soul of the unique taste of the fish-flavored shredded pork! ”
"The amount of soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, sugar, salt, sesame oil, and minced green onion is like this, and then mix them together...."
"The preparation is complete, and then it's the last step you said you were looking forward to, stir-fry!"
Chef Niu lit the stove, the flame rose, the raging flame continued to scorch the bottom of the big iron pot, Chef Niu estimated that the iron pot was already hot, and took the big spoon upside down to scoop out a third of the vegetable oil, and the yellow-orange-orange fragrant cold vegetable oil flowed into the iron pot that had been fully heated.
"Shao'an, you remember that the first step in stir-frying is like I did just now, heat the pan beforehand, and then put cold oil. Chef Niu explained
Shao An silently wrote down the first step to heat the pan and cold the oil.
"It's almost time, and the oil temperature at this time is the most suitable for stir-frying shredded pork, and stir-frying shredded pork at this oil temperature can maximize the effect of the water starch wrapped in the shredded meat, and will not let the starch stick to the bottom of the pot. ”
"The shredded meat has changed color, at this time you have to quickly pick up the shredded meat, otherwise the meat will get old. ”
"Then put the minced ginger, chopped pepper, and minced garlic into the iron pot and stir-fry, you can already smell the fragrance! ”
"The last step is to stir-fry the shredded lettuce, shredded fungus and the sauce just prepared, and look! Now that the sauce has thickened, this is the time to pour the shredded meat in..."
"Done!" Master Niu picked up the fish-flavored shredded pork with an attractive aroma from the iron pot and put it on a plate.
"It's so fragrant!" Shao An exclaimed sincerely.
"Taste it, you're half the credit for this dish. Chef Niu said with a smile.
Shao An hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks and picked up the fish-flavored shredded meat that exudes an attractive fragrance on the plate, after the entrance, the shredded meat is soft and tender, salty, sweet, sour and spicy, the onion, ginger and garlic are rich, the taste buds on the tongue are amazingly active under the stimulation of this taste, a large number of breeding saliva is surging in the mouth, he picked up a chopsticks of fish-flavored shredded meat and put it in his mouth, again and again, such a delicacy is simply unstoppable!
"It's delicious!"
