Chapter 34: Goal, Conquer Your Stomach
Zhao Kai was not so particular, and directly picked up the dishes and chopsticks brought by Zhao Kai.
"Let's try this dish first." Song Huizong took the lead in picking up the dish closest to him, "The color is golden and good." ”
Song Huizong took a big bite, made a subtle crisp sound, and chewed slowly in his mouth.
Song Huizong's expression slowly became intoxicated, "Well, yes, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, delicious, delicious, prince, you can taste it too." ”
Song Huizong spoke, Zhao Heng immediately grabbed a piece and swallowed it in one gulp, making a crisp chewing sound, without the image of a prince at all.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's the first time I've eaten sweet and sour dishes, third brother, what's the name of this dish and how to make it?"
Zhao Kai showed a smug smile on his face and explained, "This dish is called pot wrapped meat, the main seasonings are ginger shreds, green onion shreds, coriander, etc., that is, the pork loin is sliced and marinated, wrapped in fried pulp and fried in the pot until golden brown, and then stir-fried in the pot to thicken." The finished dish is golden in color and sweet and sour in taste. ”
That's right, this dish is the famous Northeast dish pot wrapped meat that swept the Northeast in later generations, this dish may not have been heard of by the friends in the north, but in the Northeast, the name of the pot wrapped meat is known to everyone, no one knows, the pot meat in the later generations do not know how many Northeast people have conquered the stomach, and it has become a must-order dish in the Northeast every New Year's holiday.
Song Huizong swallowed the pot-wrapped meat in his mouth, and said suspiciously, "I only know that pork can also be made so delicious, but why is this dish called pot-wrapped meat with such a strange name?" ”
Because the dish has a beautiful color, flavor and beauty at the same time, it will make a sound similar to popcorn when chewing, so it is named ----- pot pop pork, with its unique flavor by the Russians and local diners are popular, because the Russians do not speak Chinese very well, the pot fried meat is said to be "pot wrapped meat", many restaurants also for the purpose of easy writing, also the pot fried meat abbreviated as "pot wrapped meat", so there is a widespread wrong name.
Of course, Zhao Kai couldn't explain it like this, so he had to answer implicitly, "Erchen is not very good at naming dishes, so he named one blindly." ”
Song Huizong and Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Kai, and then their attention was all focused on that plate of pot-wrapped meat, one for you and one for me.
This plate of pot-wrapped meat was only about ten pieces, and it was quickly eaten up by Song Huizong and Zhao Heng, and it seemed that there was still some unfinished business, and his eyes looked at the second dish again.
"King Yun, this time you can introduce me to this dish first." Song Huizong pointed to the second dish and said curiously.
Zhao Kai smelled the fragrance of the second dish and said, "This dish is called fish-flavored shredded pork." ”
"Fish-flavored shredded pork, no wonder it smells faint of fish fragrance, compared with the pot wrapped meat just now, this dish is as good as its name." Zhao Heng teased.
A slight black line appeared on Zhao Heng's forehead, the name of the pot wrapped meat has been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, can you rely on me by calling this name.
Song Huizong said with interest, "How is this dish made, it doesn't look like it's made of fish." ”
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Father guessed correctly, although this dish is called fish-flavored shredded pork, it is not made of fish, it is the same as pot meat, it is also made of pork." ”
Before Zhao Kai finished speaking, Liang Shicheng, who was unwilling to be lonely, interjected, "King Yun is on the bar with pork today, and the two dishes are made of pork." ”
When Song Huizong heard this, he sighed, "I am used to eating beef and mutton on weekdays, but today I found that cheap pork can also make such delicious dishes." ”
Zhao Heng agreed, "Yes, this is the first time Erchen has eaten pork, I have always heard that pork is not as good as beef and mutton, and when I eat it today, Erchen feels that it has its own merits." ”
Song Huizong laughed, "Haha, King Yun, you go on, I want to see how pork is made to get the flavor of fish." ”
"This 'fish fragrance' is the seasoning for making fish-flavored shredded pork, which is made by imitating the seasoning used by people in the four roads of Sichuan Gorge when cooking fish, and it is named fish fragrance." Zhao Kai said and smelled the fragrance of fish-flavored shredded meat, ""Fish-flavored", which is made of pickled chili, Sichuan salt, soy sauce, sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and green onions.
First of all, the pork is shredded, the green onion, ginger, garlic and chili pepper are chopped, the shredded meat is mixed with salt and cooking wine, and mixed with water starch, the seasoning 'fish fragrance' is added, the oil pan is raised, the shredded meat is poured into the stir-fry, and then the juice is poured in, and the stir-fry can be done a few times. ”
"'Fish fragrance', this is also a shame that the chef in the palace can think of it, I want to taste it."
Song Huizong picked up his chopsticks, picked up the fish-flavored shredded meat, and put it in his mouth, Zhao Heng kept his saliva and watched Song Huizong eat.
"The color is golden red, the entrance is smooth and tender, and the five flavors are sweet, sour, spicy and salty, it is really a rare delicacy, prince, you can eat it too." Song Huizong picked up a large chopstick, fish-flavored shredded meat.
Zhao Heng had been waiting for Song Huizong's words for a long time, and as soon as the chopsticks went down, half of the fish-flavored shredded meat on the plate, which was originally not much, was instantly reduced.
"Delicious, delicious."
Song Huizong glared at Zhao Heng, and took the remaining half of the plate of fish-flavored shredded pork to his side, "Didn't the prince have breakfast?" ”
Zhao Heng looked embarrassed, "Isn't it already noon, Erchen is a little hungry, and his father smiled." ”
Liang Shicheng covered his mouth and snickered on the side, and quipped, "The saint and the prince are really alike." ”
The smugness on Zhao Kai's face became more obvious, look, your stomach has been conquered by this king, haha, after a while, this king proposed to ask for the imperial kitchen, and you didn't promise me in a hurry, hahaha, I'm so smart.
After the fish-flavored shredded meat was looted, Song Huizong and Zhao Heng habitually looked at the third course, their eyes shining.
"Tang Cai, third brother, tell us about this soup dish." Zhao Heng said impatiently.
"It's called duck blood vermicelli soup." Zhao Kai thought that Song Huizong and Zhao Heng would definitely have someone interrupt him, so he deliberately paused as he spoke.
As a result, Song Huizong and Zhao Heng waited and looked at Zhao Kai with big eyes, and they didn't mean to ask questions at all, so the embarrassed Zhao Kai had to continue.
"The main ingredients are duck blood, duck intestines, duck gizzards, yams, and potato vermicelli.
Ingredients: duck soup, duck liver, duck heart, duck intestines, coriander.
The ingredients are duck fat, salt, monosodium glutamate, star anise, Sichuan pepper, ginger, green onion, and pepper.
Duck blood vermicelli soup will be more complicated to make. First of all, the duck blood should be cut into thin small squares, duck gizzards, duck livers, duck intestines are fished out in boiling water, duck livers and duck gizzards are cut into small slices, the intestines are broken into small sections, the vermicelli is scalded in warm water and set aside, first add the duck gizzards and duck intestines to the boiled duck soup, burn until the soup boils into flowers, and then add duck liver, duck blood, vermicelli, a few small pieces of water tofu, ginger juice, white vinegar and cooking wine, boil for a few minutes, put the pot into a large soup bowl, and finally sprinkle with chopped shallots and coriander, pepper and stir gently"
