Chapter 441: Eating hot pot in the summer
Beef hot pot is a dish made mainly from beef, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, leeks, etc. You can take out the pork leg bones and put them in the pot and boil the soup with the white radish.
Beef hot pot became famous in the 40s of the last century, and the traditional practice is to add sand tea sauce directly to the pot, and use thick soup as the base of the pot like Chongqing hot pot. Later, it gradually became simpler, and only beef bone broth and white radish remained at the bottom of the pot of shabu-shabu, which was more conducive to tasting the original taste of beef. To this day, although many shops have pot bases such as health medicinal diets, beef soups, etc., the most popular is beef bone soup.
The sand tea sauce originally added to the soup has become a perfect dipping sauce for Chaoshan beef, and some people will add a plate of Chaoshan chili sauce, which is not spicy and a little salty. Now, more and more people are beginning to choose Puning bean sauce, Puning bean sauce was originally a patent for Chaoshan people to dip seafood, and now it is used to dip beef, which shows the deliciousness of beef. A food columnist commented: "The so-called Chaoshan cuisine pays the most attention to 'big taste to light', and from a historical point of view, most of them are quietly subtracting processes." ”
Su Zimo simply introduced the hot pot in his hometown to Su Xi'er and Ling Fei, and made the two stunned.
"Yo, connoisseur. When Dahan heard Su Zimo's professional explanation, a pair of tiger eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and he said in surprise.
Su Zimo smiled, the reason why he knew so much was because he loved this delicacy very much in his previous life, and naturally understood the information related to it very thoroughly.
Su Xi'er swallowed her saliva, turned her head, and said in a glutinous voice to the big man standing on the side, "Bad uncle, Xiao Xi'er wants to ...... If you want to eat beef hot pot, can you?" said that, with a pair of big watery eyes, he looked at each other quietly.
I don't know what's going on, Dahan saw Su Zimo as if he had seen an enemy, but when he saw Su Xi'er, he couldn't kiss him, and immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, little girl, you wait, uncle will do it for you." "Let's say, under the surprised gaze of Su Zimo and the others, he took a step, came to the freezer, and took out two fresh fatty beef.
Ling Fei suddenly sighed and said, "I finally know why this hotel is so deserted, according to the behavior of that boss, if there are guests, it will be strange." ”
"You're right. Su Zimo nodded approvingly.
As for Su Xi'er, who was sitting opposite Su Zimo, she opened a pair of big watery eyes and said in a milky voice, "Dad, cow...... Beef hot pot is really that good....... Is it delicious?" The big clear eyes flashed with a strange look.
Su Zimo thought about the deliciousness, and he was also a little greedy, looked at the little girl's ignorant little head, and said softly, "You'll know later." ”
"Mmmm~" Su Xi'er nodded again and again, then turned her head and looked at the big man who was cutting beef with a fluent knife, with a look of expectation on her little face.
About ten minutes later, Dahan brought an induction cooker, put it on the table, and put it on the street, during which he didn't forget to smile at Su Xi'er, of course, after seeing Su Zimo, he restrained the expression on his face, walked back, brought a bowl of steaming and fragrant cauldron, carefully put it on the induction cooker, increased the heat, and told the little girl to say, "It's hot, be careful." ”
Su Xi'er also seemed to be a snacker, forgetting the previous scene, and said obediently, "Thank you, uncle." The little face was full of joy.
"You're welcome. The big man was stunned for a moment, then smiled excitedly, and then walked to the kitchen and brought out a plate of fresh meat and put it on the table.
This is a long meat on the back of the cow, the first half belongs to the naked eye, the second half belongs to the sirloin, it is a must-order meat for beef hot pot, the aroma of the cooked hanging dragon is overflowing, and you can also eat a faint oil and sweet fragrance.
Hanging dragon companion is also called hanging rhombus shoulder, is the hanging dragon with two sides with fat, more fragrant and fat than the hanging dragon, the best part of these two sides is also called "lobster whiskers" or "companions", looks very much like the big antennae of lobsters, one is only a few taels, is the essence of the essence.
Sanhua toe is also called Sanhua tendon, Sanhua toe and five-flower toe are beef tendon meat, Sanhua toe is the front leg of the cow, beef with tendons, so it is very chewy, and the taste is crisp and tender after shabu.
As for the five-flower toe, it belongs to the tendon meat of the hind leg of the cow, with more tendons than the three-flower tendon, beautiful marbling, and a more crispy and elastic taste. Each cow has only half a catty of five-toes, so it is more favored by connoisseurs.
Spoon kernel is also known as spoon skin. The spoon kernel is located under the neck kernel, close to the ribs, because it is connected to the neck, the muscles are strong, and the meat is often interspersed with fine tendons, and the fat content of the spoon kernel is higher than that of the neck kernel, and it is very tender. The lower part of the spoon is the spoon handle, and there will be an obvious tendon in the middle of the spoon handle, regardless of fat or thin, and the entrance is soft and a little elastic.
Su Zimo looked at the big man serving all kinds of fresh meat, and the greed in his heart became more and more intense, explaining the fresh meat on the table to Su Xi'er and Ling Fei.
Ling Fei looked at Su Zimo, who was talking eloquently, and Su Xi'er, who nodded her head from time to time, her originally suppressed heart was also much more relaxed, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a beautiful smile.
A few minutes later, under Su Xi'er's adoring gaze, Su Zimo took a bowl, filled a few spoonfuls of fragrant beef broth, put it in front and blew it gently, and after it was not hot, put it in front of Su Xi'er, and said softly, "Come, try the soup, drink it slowly." ”
Su Xi'er nodded, stretched out her fleshy little hand, held the porcelain bowl, put it in front of her mouth, took a shallow sip, her big watery eyes flashed a few times, and then she finished drinking it in a few sips, put down the porcelain bowl, and said sweetly, "Dad, drink it well." ”
Su Zimo nodded, turned to Ling Fei and said, "Long Fei, you eat too." ”
"Uh-huh. Ling Fei looked at the gluttony on Su Xi'er's face, and the greed in the depths of her heart was also hooked, picked up the porcelain bowl, filled a bowl of beef soup, took a sip, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she praised and said, "It's delicious." ”
Although the voices of the two were not loud, the big man sitting in the corner could hear it clearly, and his rough face was suddenly full of smiles.
"Okay, now comes the main event, which is to brush the beef. Su Zimo smiled, and then explained, "Actually, there are skills in brushing beef. With that, he stood up, took a colander and put it in the hot pot, picked up a few pieces of fatty beef, and put it in.
In just a few seconds, a few pieces of fat beef suddenly crumpled, and a richer fragrance wafted out, and two pieces were picked up from them and put them in Su Xi'er's bowl, who was looking at him, and instructed, "Blow a few mouthfuls first, it's hot, slow down." ”
"Uh-huh. Su Xi'er nodded again and again, lowered her little head, and blew hard at the hot fat beef in the porcelain bowl.
