The first dish Ning Xiu had to make was vinegared shredded potatoes.

That's right, this ordinary home-cooked dish that can no longer be ordinary in the afterlife!

Because potatoes have only recently been introduced, the processing methods of this ingredient are still very limited.

The most common method is to steam and eat. In this way, you can fully feel the soft texture of the potatoes, but from a gastronomy point of view, it is very wasteful.

Ning Xiu's favorite food in his previous life was potatoes, and he thoroughly studied the methods of various potato dishes.

His favorite dish is vinegared shredded potatoes.

The vinegar of shredded potatoes is not complicated. Ning Xiu first took a potato, scraped the skin and cut it into thin strips with a knife and stacked them together.

Next, he washed the shredded potatoes with clean water.

He then poured all the shredded potatoes into a porcelain basin and filled it with water to soak.

The purpose of this step is to remove the starch and make the fried shredded potatoes crispy.

People often complain to Ning Xiu that the fried shredded potatoes are too noodle and not delicious at all. Ning Xiu would always smile and tell him this little trick.

Sometimes it's the devil in the details, and a small detail can make a world of difference in the taste of a dish.

After soaking for about two quarters of an hour, Ning Xiu took out all the shredded potatoes and dried them out of the water.

The next step is to prepare the excipients.

Ning Xiu took the green onion and garlic and cut them into small pieces.

Onions are native to China, and garlic was introduced in the Han Dynasty. These two things have long been a necessity in people's diet and life, and there is no need to worry about the problem of not being in line with the taste after adding them.

After that, Ning Xiu began to pour oil into the pot.

Naturally, he poured vegetable oil. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty restaurants, it was still customary to use animal oil to stir-fry vegetables. But there is a problem with this kind of stir-frying, it takes a bit of a long time to preheat, and the animal oil has some taste.

Maybe some diners won't care, but there will always be disgust.

Ning Xiu himself is not accustomed to eating animal oil, and animal fat should be used to make soap, so he stipulates that vegetable oil is used for stir-frying in Ning Kee Restaurant.

When the oil got hot, he put a pinch of peppercorns in it. This is to enhance the taste.

Sichuan pepper has been produced in the land of China since ancient times and is loved by the Chinese people. It's just that after the introduction of chili pepper, the status of Sichuan pepper has declined.

Ning Xiu still likes the taste of peppercorns very much.

Stir-frying pepper oil is Ning Xiu's forte, he can master the time and fully force the fragrance of peppercorns to stay in the oil.

After that, he strained out the peppercorns in the oil, leaving only the clear oil with the scent of peppercorns.

It's still the details. In the past, when Ning Xiu ate shredded potatoes in a restaurant, he could often chew one or two peppercorns.

That kind of sourness is really helpless.

Therefore, Ning Xiu pays great attention to this kind of detail when cooking by himself, and Sichuan pepper can enhance the flavor but must not appear in the dish.

After that, he poured the green onion and minced garlic into the oil and stir-fried.

The amount of green onion and garlic can be added according to personal taste preferences, Ning Xiu's taste is heavier, so he added more green onions and garlic.

Next, it's time to add the main dish.

Ning Xiu poured all the dried shredded potatoes into the pot and stir-fried them over high heat.

The tongue of fire ignited instantly, and Ning Xiu only felt very happy when he heard the crackling sound of vegetable oil.

In his previous life, when he was tired, he would lock himself in the kitchen and cook.

That feeling of emptying oneself and giving oneself undivided concentration can heal wounds.

Having said that, the taste of vinegared shredded potatoes is half on shredded potatoes and half on vinegar.

Only the perfect combination of the crispness of the shredded potatoes and the sour aroma of vinegar can bring out the most beautiful taste.

Ning Xiu first added salt and shredded potatoes and stir-fried well, then added aged vinegar.

This vinegar is brewed by Wujia Vinegar Workshop in the east of the city, which is extremely famous in Jingzhou City, whether it is a restaurant or an ordinary person's house, they will go to buy the vinegar of Wujia Vinegar Factory.

Ning Xiu continued to stir-fry with a wooden shovel, watching the shredded potatoes being painted with a strong color by the old vinegar, Ning Xiu couldn't wait to taste the taste of the vinegared shredded potatoes.

He stir-fried for a while, then took the shredded potatoes out of the pan and put them on a plate.

The vinegared shredded potatoes must not be fried for too long, because if they are fried for too long, the taste of the whole dish will be greatly affected.

After putting it on the plate, Ning Xiu walked out of the kitchen with shredded potatoes and showed off to his father: "Dad, you can try your son's craftsmanship." The vinegared shredded potatoes have a tempting taste. ”

"Shredded potatoes?"

Ning Liang looked confused, scratched his head and said, "What is the stinky boy shredded potatoes, why has my father never heard of it." ”

Ning Xiu's heart said that Daddy didn't know about the existence of potatoes yet, and it seemed that it hadn't been introduced to Daming for a few years. No wonder only a prominent family like the Zhang family can eat it.

But that's exactly what he wants. The fewer people know about the potato Ning family, the greater the sensational effect of the potato feast. If people were already familiar with potatoes, all he could do was improve the dishes.

"Dad, this is a dish that my son brought from Zhang's family, and it is said to have come from the Americas."

"Americas?"

Ning Liang was even more confused.

"Well, America is a place far, far away from Daming."

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "You can try it quickly." ”

Ning Liang couldn't stand his son's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he picked up his chopsticks and stabbed it.

Hiss!

As soon as the shredded potatoes are placed in the mouth, the rich aroma fills the entire mouth.

Pepper, shallot, garlic, vinegar......

This strange fragrance mixed together Ning Liang had never felt before. He only felt that his whole body was light, as if he had ascended to immortality.

Chew it carefully, and the crispness of this potato is addictive.

It was as if every taste bud of his life had been opened.

Ning Liang closed his eyes and enjoyed while chewing.

He had never been so obsessed with eating, but the vinegared shredded potatoes did change his attitude.

"Stinky boy, your vinegared shredded potatoes do taste very good. Quickly teach your father how to do it, so that we can introduce new dishes to our restaurant. ”

The son is about to participate in the township test, so it is naturally impossible to go to the kitchen to stir-fry, and he is not at ease when he hires someone to fry Ning Liang, this kind of thing will eventually fall on Ning Liang.

"Dad, don't worry. This vinegared shredded potatoes is just the first course, and what my son is going to do is a whole potato feast, which will be launched in the form of a set meal. Diners who want to try it will have to order the set menu. ”

Hiss.

Ning Liang couldn't help but gasp again.

Why is this stinky boy so smart? Also, when will he cook so many dishes? Could it be that Yi Yin is the credit of his old man again?

Although there were many doubts, Ning Liang nodded.

The son is now the pillar of the Ning family, and whatever he says is right as long as he does it.

Isn't the huge family business all earned by his son's hard work?

The father and son went into the kitchen with their front and back feet, and Ning Xiu took another potato, scraped the skin, and cut it into strips.

Ning Haoqi said: "Stinky boy, why are you cutting this potato so thickly?" ”

"Dad, what my son wants to do this time is not vinegared shredded potatoes, but french fries!"

Ning Xiu smiled slyly.
