Chapter 33 Hunan cuisine fried meat, the first to emerge
Sunday is the hardest day for the cooking class. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Four eights, you can't afford it, right? I've got only four cards left, hehe. ”
"Brother, come on. Hit them bald, haha"
"I don't believe that your four cards are just a bomb, brother will gamble today. Seven old ks scare you to death, want to hit your bald head, not to mention the door, there are no windows. ”
The cards that the soldiers of the regular class are playing are a popular poker game in the army, with two decks of cards for fifty K. There are very few recreational activities in the border guards, and basically except for playing basketball, they only play cards.
The rise of some soldiers and the heart-rending shouts reached the kitchen of the cooking class.
Listening to their passionate playing of cards, Xie Heilong felt as if there were 10,000 cats scratching in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable. Young people love to play, it's the instinct of this age group.
"Grandma's bear, can't you just be quiet? I don't have the heart to chop vegetables. Xie Heilong complained to himself.
The kitchen knife in his hand couldn't help but speed up the speed of cutting vegetables. I hope that the sound of the knife can drown out the screams that tickle his heart.
"It's good to be young, with quick hands and feet. I can't even catch up with the speed of chopping vegetables. Seeing that Xie Heilong was disturbed by the noise outside, the blue squad leader joked with a smile.
Xie Heilong, whose mind was seen through by the blue squad leader, smiled awkwardly and slowed down the speed of chopping vegetables. Turning his head curiously, he asked Lan Haizhen, the squad leader: "The regular class has time to rest, is there any time for our cooking class to rest?" ”
"We don't have a day off in our cooking class, and when we rest, they can only eat air." Lan Haizhen's squad leader poured the washed rice into the iron basin, stood up, and said to Xie Heilong.
Seeing that the squad leader didn't put the rice directly into the retort to cook, Xie Heilong, who had never cooked a big pot of rice, asked curiously: "Squad leader, why isn't your rice steamed directly?" What are you doing in the water? ”
Lan Haizhen's squad leader beckoned to Xie Heilong and said, "Come here, I'll teach you how to cook with a retort, and the cooking work will be handed over to you in the future." ”
Xie Heilong is very happy to learn new things, after all, learning is the key to vitality and growth.
"Retorts are more difficult to cook rice, so after you wash the rice. You need to soak it for half an hour, and when the rice grains are soft, you can cook them in the pot. ”
"Cooking rice in a pot is the key to whether the rice is delicious. It must be put into the pot with cold water and cold rice, and the water is good for two fingers of rice. ”
Lan Haizhen's squad leader said very seriously and in detail.
Seeing Xie Heilong's expression of understanding, Lan Haizhen's squad leader smiled, and then said: "After the rice is cooked, it must be packed with this bamboo dustpan, drain the water dry, and finally gently pour it into the retort, put it in a pot with water and steam for half an hour, and then it can be out of the pot." ”
"Remember, the water in the pot should not touch the rice inside the retort, and it would be good if it could seal the retort around it without leaking air."
Xie Heilong listened very carefully, and he should be able to do what the squad leader said. It's just a little problem, I don't understand it very well, and I asked Lan Haizhen's squad leader: "I understand, but how long does this rice need to be boiled in water?" ”
"How long does this last, it depends on your own grasp, the rice is a little soft, but there is a filling, commonly known as bursting waist, which is the best standard."
"Thank you, squad leader, I understand, why don't I cook today's meal? Can you help me check the gates? "I learned how to make traditional rice. The vitality in his body surged, Xie Heilong couldn't help but want to try it himself, and tried to propose it to the squad leader.
"No problem, I'll let you practice today. It just so happened that when I reported to the company commander last night about the work of the cooking squad, I mentioned by the way that you had cooked at home. The company commander asked you to get a dish at noon and let him try it. ”
Cooking retort rice is a manual job, Xie Heilong's proposal, the squad leader immediately agreed, and told Xie Heilong the instructions given by the company commander.
After making the rice, making a good dish, and eating the company commander comfortably, it is estimated that it will not be far from the deputy squad leader.
Xie Heilong, who had a small abacus in his heart, showed a lewd smile.
With the help of the vitality in your own body, cooking a meal is easily done. But what kind of food to cook for the company commander? Xie Heilong thought for a long time.
Boiled fish? Braised pork ribs? Stir-fried chicken with green peppers? A lot of dishes that came to mind were all given up by Xie Heilong. After all, the army has limited ingredients, so it will be too late to buy them.
"If you have it, you can make a small fried pork from the farmhouse. Xie Heilong's mind flashed and shouted excitedly.
Farmhouse stir-fried pork is one of the most classic dishes in Hunan cuisine. In the inheritance menu of Hunan cuisine, there is this dish. After years of continuous adjustment and innovation, the farmhouse fried pork has become an indispensable dish in Hunan cuisine banquets. And Xie Heilong is from Nanhu Province, and this dish is very representative.
As soon as he looked at his watch, there was not much time to leave the meal, only half an hour, and Xie Heilong immediately took action.
Three taels of fatty meat, cut into 3 to 4 mm slices. Two taels of lean meat, cut into slices of about 2 mm, add a little oil-consuming soy sauce, and quickly grasp it into a uniform sauce red.
Four or five screw peppers, remove the stems and dig out the heart, and cut the hob into diamond slices.
With the cooperation of vitality, Xie Heilong completed all the preparations in less than 5 minutes.
Light the fire, put in the pan with oil, add the fat and stir-fry until golden brown and oily. Pour in the screw pepper slices, stir-fry to change color, immediately put in the marinated lean pork slices, and stir-fry quickly over high heat.
The fierce fire ignited the scattered oil stars, and suddenly a wave of fire followed a wave of fire, constantly flying on the pot.
Lan Haizhen, the squad leader who was standing on the side and watching, saw Xie Heilong's skillful movements and superb pot turning techniques, and the whole person was stunned. Until Xie Heilong adjusted the taste of the dishes and put them on a plate, he still didn't come back to his senses.
Looking at the small fried pork in his hand, Xie Heilong couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
Spiritual cooks are truly a magical profession, with the help of vitality in the body. I used to be able to stir-fry but I wasn't very proficient, and I directly reached the realm of perfection magically.
Once upon a time, the skillful knife skills and fancy and precise stir-fry methods just now were the goals of Xie Heilong's dream. Now that I have met Huo Lao, my dream has come true too quickly, and it is a bit like a dream.
"Squad leader, how about you take a look at this dish? Try it and see if it tastes okay, right? ”
After becoming a spirit cook, this is the first dish he makes, and he is still a little unsure about the taste. Seeing that the squad leader was next to him, he brought the dish over and asked him to try the taste.
Lan Haizhen, the squad leader who was startled by Xie Heilong for the second time, looked at him with a hellish look. I took a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in my mouth and chewed it, and immediately froze again.
"This is frozen meat in the refrigerator, after such simple processing, it is more tender than the freshly cut inner loin, this smooth meat, fragrant and tender taste, let me have a lot of doubts about whether I have really eaten pork before."
Gobbling up the food in his mouth, Lan Haizhen's squad leader was impatient and went to the bowl again.
A dish is just like that, and if you eat a few pieces by the squad leader, the portion will not be enough.
Xie Heilong moved the bowl to the side and asked Lan Haizhen's squad leader, "Squad leader, how does it taste?" ”
"Xie Heilong, you guy is not honest. You can't start learning to cook just by beating your mother's stomach, right? Lan Haizhen's squad leader stared at him with eyes like a monster and said.
"Squad leader, if you think it's delicious, I'm relieved, it's already time to eat just now, you can send it to the company commander quickly." His secret must not be told to anyone, Xie Heilong had no choice but to change the topic and say to Lan Haizhen's squad leader.
"Stir-fry me again, I think your level needs to be improved, I'll come back and try it later." Lan Haizhen, the squad leader, finished speaking seriously, turned around and left with the dishes.
Xie Heilong looked at the squad leader who turned around and walked towards the cafeteria, and secretly ate another piece of meat on the way, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Squad leader, this is my new entry spirit cook, and there are still many exciting things waiting for you in the future."
