Chapter 10: Farmhouse Stir-fried Meat

Cut the pork into thin slices, sprinkle with salt and cornstarch, mix evenly and marinate for a few minutes.

Finely chop the green onion, ginger and garlic.

Put a bowl of water in an iron pot, boil, put some salt in the water, then pour enoki mushrooms and bean sprouts into the pot, blanch them, remove them and put them in a large bowl.

Re-heat the pot, pour a little oil, put the minced ginger, garlic, and a little dried chili pepper into it and fry over low heat, then put in the Pixian bean paste, fry the red oil, fry the fragrance, and then pour in half a bowl of water and bring to a boil.

Add the marinated meat slices, and when the meat slices are cooked until they spread out and change color, add soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, and sugar.

Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl that prevented enoki mushrooms and bean sprouts.

Then heat the pan again, pour in a little oil, and when the oil is hot, sprinkle it on the meat slices.

Li Chu carefully brought it to the table, and as soon as he put it in, the chopsticks of the old man and the young man in purple reached into the bowl to fish, just like a hungry person who had been hungry for several days, eating too fiercely and crazy.

Looking at the table again, the previous plate of braised winter melon was only a bare plate, and even the chili powder was eaten.

The more ugly and crazy these two people are, the more they affirm Li Chu's two dishes, although Li Chu is very informative about his craft, but seeing the two of them like this, he is also full of satisfaction.

This time, Li Chu did not immediately go to cook, but carefully observed.

Although the old man was also very excited, his personal cultivation was there, even if he was in a hurry, he also retained a trace of style, but this purple-clothed young man, when he was standing there before, he looked very lofty and graceful, but when he met the food, he instantly lost his image.

Looking at the reactions and expressions on the faces of the two, it seems that they are not particularly afraid of spicy.

Then, this third course can be done with your hands.

The dish is boiled meat, and it is also spicy.

This dish, which can be called the representative of the spicy system, has many names and recipes, but it is always the same.

The most popular and classic name of this dish is called chili fried meat, and the most authentic name is called: farmhouse fried meat.

Not only is there a difference in name, but there is also a big difference in this practice.

Among them, the most fundamental reason is that this dish is too spicy!

It can't be said to be spicy directly, but spicy with the sweetness of chili, sweet with spicy, and then spicy with the meaty aroma of pork.

Authentic farmhouse stir-fried meat, first slice the pepper and meat, and then heat the pot without oil!

That's right, just don't put oil!

The biggest difference between the two is that in this step, the farmer's small fried meat is not oiled, the pot is boiled dry, the chili pepper is fried directly, salt is added, and the chili pepper is fried over medium heat for six to seven minutes, the chili pepper is fried to make it spicy, and the sweetness of the plant fiber itself is fried, and the skin of the chili pepper is slightly expanded, with silk tiger skin.

Take out the chili pepper, and then put oil and meat in the pot, the meat is stirred with salt first, then half fried and half fried, and then fished out, add garlic and ginger, you can also choose to put a little Pixian bean paste, or you can choose not to put it, and then mix the meat slices and peppers together and fry them.

During the frying process, pour in a little water to reduce the heat, then pour in the soy sauce, and you are done.

This is the most authentic stir-frying method, this stir-frying method, especially when dry fried chili, the fragrance can be 100 meters.

But there are not many people who dare to taste this dish, and the reason is that it is too spicy.

People who don't like to eat chili peppers, or rarely eat chili peppers all year round, it is difficult to bear this spicy taste, but once they can withstand this spicy taste, then the delicious essence of this dish will be fully displayed, stimulating the taste buds and directly sublimating.

That feeling is simply one word, cool!

And chili fried meat, the appearance of this dish is because the authentic farmhouse fried meat, too spicy, the threshold for deliciousness is too high, so someone developed this castrated version of the farmer's fried meat, that is, chili fried meat.

In later generations, there are fewer and fewer restaurants with farmhouse fried meat, because of the particularity of this dish, gradually withdrew from the restaurant, only some farmers, or the chef himself, will stir-fry, and only in these places, can you eat the real authentic farmhouse fried meat.

Restaurants and hotels, because they want to face customers, especially customers from all over the world, so they use chili fried meat instead of farmhouse fried meat, because this can meet most of the tastes, maybe the menu is printed with farmhouse fried meat, but in fact, it can only be chili fried meat.

The pace of globalization in the future is getting faster and faster, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the authentic farmhouse fried pork will gradually be lost, and it may not be, but if you want to eat authentic in the future, unless you know how to do it, it will be difficult.

And chili fried meat, as a castrated version of the farmhouse fried meat, his biggest feature is that it is not spicy......

That's right, it's just not spicy!

Perhaps, this is an irony!

There are many varieties of peppers cultivated in later generations, to judge whether a pepper is spicy or not, first look at the color, the more dark green the color, the hotter it is, the more light green the color, the green, it is not spicy, the bigger the less spicy, the smaller the spicy it is.

Most restaurants use the light green and large chili peppers as the raw material for the chili stir-fried meat.

In addition to the selection of ingredients, the method of frying is also a way to mask the spicy taste of chili peppers.

First of all, oil is put in the pot to fry, under the action of oil, the spicy taste of the fried pepper will be destroyed, resulting in a decrease in spiciness.

In addition, MSG is used!

When stir-frying chili peppers, add monosodium glutamate, which will also mask and neutralize the spicy taste of the chili peppers.

As a result, the fried chili fried meat is no longer spicy, although it also retains a trace of chili fiber sweetness, and also continues the taste of some farmhouse fried meat.

However, its deliciousness has been greatly reduced.

But on the contrary, it is such a dish, but it is accepted by most people from all over the world, because it is not spicy, or slightly spicy, so many people can eat this dish without threshold, which is why restaurants in later generations use chili peppers to fry meat.

Don't want to attract customers in particular, just don't offend customers.

And the audience is also high.

And now, after some thought, Li Chu finally chose to fry the meat with chili peppers, instead of the small fried meat of the farmer, mainly because there were no chili peppers in the Song Dynasty, although they seemed to be not afraid of spicy food, but for the spicy level of the small fried meat of the farm, Li Chu was still a little worried.

It's finally opened, and it seems that it's still a super big customer, but you can't scare away others.

Here we prepare the ingredients for stir-frying meat with chili peppers, and at the same time, we also put out the cold rice in the pressure cooker and re-cook the rice.

The chili peppers purchased from the customized system belong to the medium spicy level, which is still reluctantly acceptable, and when cutting, Li Chu also deliberately cut it horizontally a little thinner, which is conducive to the neutralization of the spiciness.

Green peppers are cut a little like red peppers, and the red peppers have a low spicy flavor and a little sweetness.

Put on the pot, pour the oil, and stir-fry over high heat.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the first plate of fried meat with chili peppers came out.

Compared with other dishes, the chili fried meat is more restrained, and the farmhouse fried meat can be fragrant for hundreds of meters, but this castrated version has a restrained fragrance, and the fragrance can only be asked on the edge of the plate.

It's all oil that hides the smell.

The reason why Li Chu chose to stir-fry meat with chili peppers is mainly because this dish is a representative of stir-frying, and the stir-fried characters are used to the fullest, so that the ancients can feel the charm of stir-frying!

Enoki mushrooms and bean sprouts, these are all dishes that can often be eaten in the Northern Song Dynasty, the old man and the young man in purple only moved a little, and the meat slices were gone, and the two obviously realized that there were still a few dishes in the back, and they were so full at the beginning, how could they use their stomachs to enjoy the back?

"Hey, what's the ingredients for this dish?"

"Stop, don't say it yet, let me guess."

Traveled south and north to eat so much food, what ingredients the old man has never seen, but this dish in front of him, he knows this piece of meat, but what is next to this piece of meat?

This time, the young man in purple was not grabbing food, and he was still savoring the aroma of boiled meat slices in his mouth.

The old man picked up a slice of chili pepper, raised his chopsticks in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then put it into his mouth after a breath or two.

The taste is very special, with a hint of sweetness, a hint of numb bitterness, and a rush of heat, this taste......

The old man picked up another piece of meat, which was stained with a few chili seeds, and the old man mistook it for a seasoning, so he put it directly into his mouth without thinking about it, and he hadn't swallowed the chili in front of him.

As soon as this slice of meat was eaten, the old man noticed the difference.

The meat slices in other restaurants are boiled, a little hard, and the taste is light, the previous boiled meat slices are soft, which has made the old man obsessed, but now this meat slice is even more flavorful.

Well, the old man's face changed, and the spicy taste exploded in his mouth......

The old man was too impressed by the previous millet spicy, all kinds of spicy fears, came again, the old man quickly went to get the water cup, and was about to drink water, but stopped.

The pungent spicy taste is gone...... Only a slight spicy taste remains, and this spicy taste is particularly refreshing.

Also, this sauce, such a fragrant sauce.

This dish of fried meat with chili peppers, Li Chu salt is put a little more, if you just eat the vegetables, the taste in your mouth will be very strong, at this time, the rice in the pressure cooker has been cooked.

The old man was immersed in the wonderful taste of fried meat with chili peppers, and Li Chu had already brought two bowls of rice.

And less than half of this plate of chili fried meat remains......

Li Chu smiled, put the rice in front of the two of them, and then returned to the stove.
