When Jimmyson began to cook the combination of nine products in the sixth section, Lei Qilian and Li Yu also started work at the same time.

Oolong Tuzhu belongs to the 'Nine Hundred Banquet' in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, and is one of the four hot fried products in the first round of the Nine Hundred Banquet.

Nine hundred banquet was originally known as nine white banquet, when Kangxi initially decided to Mongolia Waisak and other four tribes, these tribes in order to show their loyalty to the nine white as tribute every year, namely: one white camel, eight white horses, this is the letter.

After the Mongolian tribes paid tribute, the emperor entertained the envoys with a high royal banquet, which was called the Nine White Banquet, and then changed to the Nine Hundred Banquet in order to align with the "Longevity Banquet" and "Thousand Suo Banquet".

To put it simply, the 900 banquet is a banquet for receiving foreign guests in the Manchu and Han banquets, although it seems that the 'hundred' is not of high quality, but in fact, the quality of the dishes of the 900 banquets is one of the best in the Manchu and Han banquets.

And oolong spitting beads can become one of the four hot stir-fried dishes in the first round, which shows that this dish must have something unique.

The so-called oolong tuzhu refers to the firing of sea cucumber on a plate, on the outward end, placed on the outward end of the quail egg fried into a golden brown, the shape of the finished dish resembles an oolong, so it is called oolong tuzhu.

This dish doesn't require many ingredients, the main ingredients are stinging cucumber and quail eggs, and the rest is just a little spice, but it would be a big mistake to think that this dish is easy to make.

First of all, sea cucumber must be selected Liaodong sea cucumber, which has a famous difficulty, that is, the ginseng meat is not easy to fire.

It's easy to understand that the outside of the cucumber has small protruding tips that feel and taste great, but when cooked, these tips are always the first part that comes into contact with the bottom of the pan and the hot oil, and in many cases, when the ginseng meat is cooked in oil, those tips are already burned.

At a family banquet or on an ordinary wine table, the taste of this burnt paste will not be obvious due to the cover of the spice and sauce, but for those who are old, they only need to smell it to detect the problem.

Secondly, there is the problem of quail eggs, quail eggs, anyone who has eaten them should know that egg yolks do not often appear in the center, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

The quail eggs required for oolong spit beads require the yolk to be located in the center.

Some experienced chefs can determine the position of the yolk by tapping or weighing, but many people are helpless when faced with quail eggs that are several times smaller than the size.

After the quail eggs are selected, the quail eggs need to be fried into the pot until golden brown, which also greatly tests the cooking skills of the person in charge, according to the records of the "Qing Palace Imperial Book", the oolong spit beads, the quail eggs are required to be 'golden skin, soft inner core'.

This is not the end, there is another important process of oolong spitting beads, that is, pouring juice.

The pouring sauce is the finishing order of the oolong spitting pearls, the sea cucumber itself has no taste, and the flavor of this dish is 70% increased by the final pouring sauce.

The juice on the cucumber must be evenly covered, not too thick or too submerged, which is a great test of the chef's skill.

By the way, when it comes to pouring juice, there is actually a very interesting link. (It is recommended to skip it for readers who are eating, otherwise they will not be responsible for the impact on appetite)

The emperors of ancient times, everyone knows, the true dragon son of heaven, that is, the so-called five-clawed golden dragon.

As for the oolong, the status is lower, but since people have come to 'offer pearls', as the emperor of the dragons, should he express it?

So, a chef with a big brain came up with an idea: If people come with gifts, the emperor will give them ambergris, and by the way, let the ministers and foreign envoys also be stained.

So, before each 900-day banquet, the emperor would go to the imperial kitchen and spit on the "ha-ka-bah" as an 'adding' for the boiling juice.

In other words, the oolong spit beads in the Manchu and Han banquets are actually holding the emperor's saliva.

Of course, now that the feudal monarchy has been abolished, ambergris or something can only be seen as a joke.

From the sea to the quail eggs to the final sauce, none of the three steps is allowed to go wrong.

Moreover, at Li Yu's suggestion, Lei Qilian's oolong spit beads made today have a small change compared to the original.

In the original version of the oolong spit beads, the quail eggs that represent the dragon balls are placed on the outside after they are cooked, and they are not called 'spitting beads' as 'offering pearls'.

Li Yu's idea is to fry the quail eggs into half-cooked and put them into the sac of the sea cucumber, the ginseng body of the sea cucumber is very elastic, and when the taster bites the ginseng body, the quail eggs will gently eject out, and there is a sense of 'spitting beads'.

"Lei Liudan, the quail eggs have been chosen. Li Yu handed Lei Qilian a small basket, and there were seven or eight quail eggs in the basket, "The yolks of these quail eggs are in the center of the egg body. ”

Lei Qilian was preparing the sauce, and when he heard Li Yu's words, he nodded and said, "Put it on my hand, you go and deal with the sea cucumber, and I'll start the stove later." ”

Li Yu responded and moved to the other end of the stove, only to see more than ten soaked sea cucumbers in a small basket.

These sea cucumbers are the Liaodong sea cucumbers that the organizer soaked in water in advance according to Lei Qilian's requirements, and the length of these sea cucumbers has been soaked to more than ten centimeters at this time.

Li Yu reached into the water, grabbed a sea cucumber, and held a small silver scissors in his right hand, cutting it from the edge of the sea cucumber's abdomen, and cutting through both ends.

There is a cauliflower-shaped thing in the sea part of the sea cucumber, black and hard, this thing is the sand spit of the sea cucumber, and the white thing connected to the sand spit is the teeth of the sea cucumber, and these two organs must be removed.

In general, healthy sea cucumbers have four white tendons inside, and many people think that this is the excretory organ of ginseng, so they cut it off and throw it away at will.

In fact, sea cucumber tendon is the foundation of the regeneration of life cells, and the nutritional value of this thing is not lower than that of the ginseng itself.

In the past few years, many domestic sea cucumber white tendons are exported to foreign countries, used to process sea cucumber intestinal tendon capsules, in neon, sea cucumber tendon is also called "sea cucumber in sea cucumber", its price is extremely high, for men, its nourishing effect... Hey, hey, hey.

Therefore, this kind of sea cucumber tendon only needs to be cut off, and it does not need to be completely removed.

PS: About this change of oolong spitting pearls,I asked my mother to try it yesterday.,Of course,Quail eggs are not fried.,It's marinated quail eggs.,Overall the appearance and taste are OK.,That is to say, this change is theoretically feasible.,That's why I dare to write it.,Don't be entangled in the historical party.。
