Chapter 81: The Bottom of the Pot (2)
Speaking of braised pork, I really want to thank the great literati Su Dongpo.
Su Dongpo said in "Eating Pork": "Huangzhou good pork, the price is like dung, the rich refuse to eat it, and the poor do not understand how to cook." Slow fire, less water, when the fire is enough, it is beautiful. Come to make a bowl every morning, and you can be full of your own family. β
"Slow fire, less water, when the fire is enough, it is beautiful" is also the way of cooking braised pork, relying on the mastery of a fire.
This kind of popular dishes in the last peaceful era is naturally difficult for Shu Jin, in addition to the gifts, the remaining pork belly has been cut into about three centimeters by Shu Jin, the water in the pot is boiling, Shu Jin put these meats in the water and blanched, and then fished out after a while.
Wash the pan, put oil in the pan, then add the sugar, and stir quickly with a spoon. Wait until the oil is 80% hot, pour in the meat pieces, enlarge the green onion segments, ginger slices, stir with the meat pieces and stir-fry. Stir-fry until the meat is golden brown and the fat is forced out of the meat, then add soy sauce to color the meat again. Finally, add star anise, cinnamon, and fill the pot with water to cover the meat pieces.
After the water boiled, Shu Jin pressed the fire in the stove, changed it to a stable fire, and then began to process the pork ribs and cooked fat sausages in the pot outside.
The pork ribs have been chopped into small pieces of about two centimeters by Shu Jin, and marinated with wine, salt, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and garlic paste to taste; And the fat sausage has also been cut into pieces for later use.
Shu Jin poured oil into the hot pan and began to fry the short ribs, until the small chops were fully cooked, and when they took out and drained the oil, those small chops had turned persimmon red, looking extremely attractive, Shu Jin handed Chai Yanfeng a piece to taste, and he also tasted a piece, and nodded to express that he was very satisfied with the taste. Then the plate is set, and when it's time to stir-fry it again before serving.
The fat sausage is also fried in the pot, and when the color is golden, it is removed to control the oil. Then serve on a plate and set aside.
After these two things were fried, Shu Jin took out the part of the oil, left the oil at the bottom of the pot, and then poured the cut pork fat into the pot to rely on the oil stains. Three catties of fat meat are in the end, and nearly a catty of oil stains can be produced.
The meat oil was poured into a jar by Shu Jin, and the oil stains were sprinkled with salt while it was hot and stirred. This dish can be served directly to the table when the time comes.
While it was still early, Shu Jin put out the fire in the backyard. Then I went to the river, picked up two buckets of water, brushed the two large tanks I bought, and then ran many times to finally fill both tanks of water. By the time Shu Jin had finished cleaning all the things he bought, the sun was already setting in the west. It's time to make dinner.
Chai Xiangrui's old house was relatively small, and Shu Jin simply put the dining table in the courtyard. As soon as the table was set, the Chai Ying couple arrived. When the two of them came, they brought them some white noodles.
Shu Jin and Chai Yanfeng beckoned the two of them to come in and sit, and Shu Jin soaked in sugar water. I took another plate of lychees as a treat and went to cook. Keep Chai Yanfeng to chat with the two. Asked why Chai Yanda's daughter-in-law didn't come, Guo said that Su was not feeling well, and he was resting at home, and after chatting for a while, he realized that Su was four months pregnant, and Chai Yanfeng hurriedly said hello.
Guo Shi watched Shu Jin busy, and had to say a few words hoping that Chai Yanfeng could have a follow-up sooner, which made Chai Yanfeng's face red. Guo and Chai Ying laughed. Said to help Shu Jin.
Guo Shi entered the kitchen and saw Shu Jin flipping the rice in the pot.
"The eldest aunt sat outside the house. Soon it will be possible to eat. Shu Jin's preparations had already been prepared, and he didn't need help at all, so he hurriedly asked Guo to sit outside.
As he was talking, there was a knock at the door, and Chai Xiangrui and his wife also arrived.
In the same way, they also came with only an old couple and brought gifts. It is estimated that they are all thinking that Chai Yanfeng and the others are having a hard time, so they are embarrassed to come too many people, and Chai Yanfeng let them come again for a long time.
Shu Jin put the stewed rice into a large wooden basin, wash the pot and heat it, pour the oil, wait for the oil to be hot, put in the green onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then a small amount of sugar, wine, vinegar, and soy sauce, pour the fat intestine into the stir-fry, put in a small amount of water and simmer slowly after the fat intestine is colored, put in cinnamon powder and pepper and salt, and reduce the juice after a while.
Suppress the fire in the stove, and then Shu Jin found a plate, put the fat intestines out piece by piece, and stacked them neatly, sprinkled with green chopped green onions, and the nine turns of fat intestines were completed.
Next up is the small platoon. Brush the pot, drain the water in the pot, pour a small amount of oil, a little sweet and sour and a small handful of white sesame seeds, and then pour in the small chops and stir-fry a few times out of the pot and put on the plate.
Break the eggs, stir-fry, put the blanched bamboo shoots and fungus cucumbers, put various ingredients and stir-fry, put out of the pot and put it on the plate, and another dish of mushu meat out of the pot.
During this period, Guo and Chai Xiangrui's wife Gao all came to the kitchen to take a look and wanted to help, but when they saw Shu Jin's neat movements, they both praised twice and went out to eat.
Shu Jin neatly fried three servings of vegetables, although it was fried vegetables, but the dishes were fried in meat oil, and each dish had meat to borrow.
After all these were completed, Shu Jin found a big bowl and went to the cauldron to put a large bowl of braised pork that had been stewed for a long time and had been soft to the point of melting in the mouth.
The dishes were brought out one by one, and the four guests were surprised. They thought that it would be good to have two meat and two vegetables, but they didn't expect that there were eight dishes alone, and there were as many as four pure meat dishes alone, and the rest also had meat in each, and each dish was full of color, flavor, and flavor, and most of them were practices they had never seen.
You must know that at this time, people mostly used steaming and cooking methods to cook and stir-fry, but they were ahead of several eras.
Shu Jin put the dishes on the table, thought about it, the so-called ninety-nine to one, and simply went back to the kitchen and threw an egg drop soup. In this way, eight dishes and one soup are considered complete.
The people in the village are not too particular, and there are only six people who eat, so men and women do not have separate seats, and each person eats a large bowl of white rice directly on one table.
During the banquet, Guo and Gao inevitably asked about the names and methods of these dishes, and Shu Jin answered them one by one. When they knew that the dish that everyone loved to eat was actually made of fat sausage, several people were surprised.
"No one eats this thing on weekdays, and it smells weird no matter how you cook it! I didn't expect to be able to make it so delicious! Several people sighed, "And this ribs, everyone doesn't buy them on weekdays, they are all bones, it's too cost-effective to eat, I can't imagine it's so delicious." β
In short, everyone is full of praise for a meal.
"Yanfeng, your daughter-in-law is a capable person, you have to be blessed!" Guo said with a smile Chai Yanfeng.
Many of these dishes Chai Yanfeng also tasted for the first time, and each one of them was really delicious. I remembered that I wanted to stop Shu Jin from buying those spices before, and I couldn't help but feel that I was really short-sighted.
Now that everyone who comes to eat is satisfied, isn't this also giving him a long face? I was sorry for this and that.
Now, listening to Guo's advice to him to cherish his blessings, Chai Yanfeng nodded sincerely at the moment, and there was a smile of honor on his face. However, Guo's next sentence made him a big red face.
"You two, you should have had a baby sooner!" (To be continued......)
