For many people, eggplant has a strange taste and is not easy to cook. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn French cuisine, eggplant is occasionally used, but in American cuisine, eggplant is almost cold, and many people don't even know what the word eggplant means.
Randy rushed all the way to the kitchen and looked curiously, "Fourteen, fourteen, what are you doing with eggplant?"
Lu Li was very busy at this time, and on a whim, he decided to make an eggplant pot. However, he made a simple version, without frying the eggplant, stir-frying it directly and simmering it in oil. In this way, the finished product may not be so crispy, but Lu Li adds meat foam, as well as shrimp and dried scallops to enhance the freshness, which has a unique flavor.
However, it would take about three minutes for the eggplant pot to cook, and he was making mapo tofu, so he had to pay full attention, and if he wasn't careful, he might get mushy, so he didn't have time to pay attention to Randy's inquiry.
"Why do you ask so much? We'll just take care of the food. Tony's voice came from behind, and he ran straight to the kitchen door, "Yes, Fourteen! As long as it is a dish made by Fourteen, it must be delicious, and I will like it unconditionally!"
"Ahhh
Lu Li ignored their noise, and during the conversation, mapo tofu was already out of the pot.
"Put the table away, serve the dish, and then it's time to get ready to eat. Lu Li put the mapo tofu on the stove next to him, then he was stunned and thought about it seriously, "No, five minutes, give me another five minutes." "The ingredients for the hot and sour soup have been prepared, but they haven't been put in the pot yet.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Li turned around and continued to get busy.
"It's over! it's over!" Randy was so excited that his shouting was a little broken, which made everyone burst into laughter, but everyone still walked towards the dining room in a bustling manner, and Cole and Brandon consciously began to take out the utensils and prepare to set the table.
When they saw the dining table, even if they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but exclaim.
There is a large basin in the center, and the red pepper oil is spread together, and there is a faint spicy smell coming to the face, but it is not too pungent, and you can't feel the heat hidden underneath, but everyone is familiar with it, and this is what the boiled live fish looked like at the beginning.
"It's ...... Beef?" Randy said curiously, not fish, but beef. As soon as the words fell, Randy couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, really salivating.
Next to the basin, there are a dazzling variety of dishes, a plate of stir-fried shiitake mushrooms, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of cold cucumbers, a bowl of steamed eggs with crab roe, and a dish of mapo tofu that has just been put on the table.
All of them are home-cooked dishes, without too many complicated dishes, but they are extraordinarily rich, with a combination of colors and a tender luster, which fiercely stimulates the taste sensation and makes people move their appetite.
"What is this?" Randy pointed to a dish next to him, "This is ...... Noodles?"
The dish in front of me has a brown sheen, like a plate of noodles, and then there are faint hints of minced meat and green onions, which look very elastic and chewy.
"This is ......" Lu Li walked over with the freshly made eggplant pot, "Let Jean, let Jean." Although he had insulated gloves in his hand, he could still feel the hot heat of his hands, and he put the eggplant pot down, and he looked at the ant up the tree, thinking about how to explain it, "This is, uh, vermicelli." ”
Lu Li really forgot how to say "fan" in English for a while, such a word is almost not used in life, he thought for a long time, and then he reluctantly thought of the word "vermiceli", but it was not very accurate, because this word is more of a thin noodle meaning.
However, there are many kinds of noodle food in China, and the English translation does not reflect the variety of them. Just like pasta, there are actually more than 300 kinds of real pasta, which cannot be clearly expressed in English, so you can only use Italian.
"It's a type of noodle. For the first time, Lu Li felt that he was short of words, so he could only say this, "In Chinese, this dish is called ants on the tree." Literally, it means that ants climb trees......"
"What?" Before Lu Li's words were finished, everyone regressed, and a vacuum appeared around the dining table, which made Lu Li stunned, and then laughed loudly, "Then you'd better not eat it." ”
Or did Tony poke his head curiously, "There are ants in there?"
"Yes. Lu Li's answer was too categorical, but it made Tony more curious, and he explored it seriously, Lu Li laughed helplessly, and explained, "Of course not, you see, when will I have time to collect ants?"
This explanation, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It's so named because the dish is mixed with meat foam, which is mixed with the vermicelli and looks like ants climbing a tree. After Lu Li finished explaining, everyone let out a long breath and complained:
"It's scared to death", "So it's meat foam", "Why is it called like that", "Really!", ......
"Oops!" Lu Li hurriedly screamed, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen, the hot and sour soup was still on the fire, and he forgot about it without paying attention.
Fortunately, he remembered it in time and it didn't burn. After turning off the heat, I stirred it a little, and looked at the hot and sour soup made of fungus, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and eggs, and the stimulating taste suddenly made people appetite, and now I want to eat a bowl of rice.
"Cole!" Lu Li shouted, and Cole trotted all the way over, "Obey, sir, what are your orders?"
Lu Li brought the pot of soup over, "Put it on the table, you can start eating." ”
"Good!" Cole walked over with hot and sour soup, "Everyone, come and see, fresh dishes!"
This colorful pot of soup, the visual effect is really interesting, and the pungent taste has a strong impact, the sour and spicy breath is really eye-opening, the first reaction is to retreat, but carefully smell it, but can't help but be curious about the taste, the secretion of saliva wave after wave, can't stop at all.
"I'm going to try it!" Tony picked up the spoon first and leaned over eagerly.
It's not the first time he's tasted Lu Li's craftsmanship, of course he knows whether he likes it or not, and he still has to taste it before he can make a judgment. Lu Li's cuisine is often shocking, but it has a unique taste, which makes people love it. If you really don't like it, then don't continue to eat it after you have tasted it, and that's fine.
"Wow, hot, hot, hot. Tony couldn't help but exclaim, but he couldn't help but swallow, "Wow, wow!" He couldn't say a word, just kept exclaiming, and then his eyes widened, and he was sweating profusely, and the sour taste could not be described in any words.
"How's it going, how is it?" Cole and Jessica next to him all asked.
Li Yitong picked up the bowl silently, filled a big bowl, and then began to taste it slowly.
I have to say that Lu Li is indeed a good craft, this hot and sour soup is refreshing and appetizing, after a long day of hard work, the whole person is a little tired, although he is hungry, he has no appetite. Now, when I drink a bowl of soup, my appetite immediately increases.
"Jack, Jack, what the hell is this?" asked Randy quietly as he bumped Li Yitong's shoulder.
Li Yitong picked up the bowl and tapped it lightly with a spoon, "You will know it when you drink it, and you will definitely not regret it." ”
Randy didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the bowl, and began to drill over, ready to start making soup, but he was still not as fast as Brandon, and fell behind.
At this moment, Lu Li came over with a plate again, "The last dish is here." Then Lu Li saw that everyone was surrounding the hot and sour soup, and couldn't help laughing, "That's just an appetizer, not a main course, the real highlight tonight is here." ”
"Really?"
"What's that?"
"Staple food?
"Something new?"
……
Everyone asked in a chatter, and then Li Yitong exclaimed, "Dongpo meat!"
Lu Li smiled happily and nodded, "Yes." ”
Everyone's eyes fell on the Dongpo meat, beautiful caramel color, crystal clear, the jelly-like fat part exuded a jade-colored halo, and you could even feel the feeling of springing teeth, and the lean part of the meat below was not too oily or too woody, the uniform tone penetrated into it, and even a faint sauce-colored gravy flowed out.
Finally, a few blanched lettuces are dotted on the side, and the green accent brings the whole dish to life.
"This ......" Tony only had time to say the first word, and then he choked on his own saliva, just looking at the dish, the saliva secretion couldn't stop, he really felt what it means to move his index finger, "What is this called?"
"Dongpo meat. Lu Li said in authentic Chinese, this dish, translated in English, does not have that charm.
Lu Li put the plate on the table and smiled widely, "You can try it." ”
Li Yitong was the first to stretch out his chopsticks, "This is a real kung fu dish, you dare to try it, it's amazing." ”
Picked up the whole piece of Dongpo meat, the heat was just right, the translucent meat even trembled and trembled, full of elasticity, and the chopsticks gently pinched, and the juice flowed down. Li Yitong directly stuffed the whole piece of meat into his mouth, and the meat piece melted down like this, and he only needed to chew it gently, and his mouth was full of fragrance, which was really wonderful.
"Hmm. Li Yitong himself didn't expect it, and the sigh overflowed from his mouth like this.
Lu Li looked at the plate of Dongpo meat, everyone had a piece, and it was about to be gone in a blink of an eye - although it was said that there was still one in the casserole, he himself as a chef had never tasted it, which was not too much of a loss, so he hurriedly put a piece in his bowl and put it in his mouth.
"Fourteen!" Before Lu Li could chew, Randy's heart-rending voice rang out, "It's gone......? How is this possible?"
"What?
"Oh my God, I just ate a piece!"
"Didn't you just have it?"
"It's Jack, Jack took it!
