When the cooking squad leader heard Meng Chuan's words, he hurriedly complied.

Meng Chuan looked at this pot of beef stew and thought about what to do.

—————

In fact, the method of sauced beef is very simple, it is nothing more than braised beef, the kind that is usually made at home is quite good, what spices are put in it, and the stew is absolutely delicious.

However, when it comes to sauced beef, Meng Chuan remembered that in the original TV series, he could often hear that Yueshengzhai's sauced beef was a must in Beiping City.

Meng Chuan hurriedly flipped through the recipe, and really found that there was Yueshengzhai's sauced beef method, but there was one thing that made Meng Chuan very puzzled, that is, in the recipe, Yueshengzhai's sauced beef recipe was more than one, as if this was not a practice that was not passed on, but there were many family versions.

Meng Chuan took a closer look at the method and found that his method was very interesting, which was to first smear the beef with yellow sauce and marinate it for an hour.

Then the point came, instead of cooking with ordinary marinade, he added a few flavors of Chinese medicinal materials, including nutmeg, sand kernels, and white ko.

Then add marinade, star anise, cumin, cinnamon, pepper, cloves, tangerine peel, bay leaves, ginger, green onions and stew.

Meng Chuan also wants to make this kind of sauced beef, but now it is unrealistic to re-marinate the beef, as for those Chinese medicinal materials, the kitchen is definitely not there, so even if you want to follow along, most of them are not authentic.

Just follow your original practice, because the sauce beef made by Meng Chuan this time is stewed in advance, so when the sauce is made, you can't start stewing with cold water, it is best to stew it with broth.

Fortunately, this is a canteen, there is no shortage of broth, after Meng Chuan put the beef in the pot, added a few spoonfuls of broth, put in the marinade and began to stew.

Most of the marinades are no different, they are nothing more than the ones just mentioned, but in order to taste faster, Meng Chuan immediately added the seasonings.

Dark soy sauce is a must, the color depends on him, if you want to make the beef bright and more attractive, the dark soy sauce must be put, but you can't put too much, too much will be dark, and it won't look beautiful.

Then there is the salt, and the salt does not need too much, because the pot of beef itself is stewed, it has a salty taste, and it will be salty if you put too much.

Finally, add some light soy sauce and vinegar and simmer over high heat for more than 10 minutes.

Generally speaking, the sauced beef is simmered on high heat for half an hour, and then turned to low heat and simmered for at least an hour before it can absorb the flavor.

However, these beef pieces in Meng Chuan's pot are relatively small, and they have been stewed for a long time, so Meng Chuan simply omitted the steps of simmering.

However, in order to make the sauce beef more flavorful, Meng Chuan stirred while stewing when the beef was stewed over high heat, also to make the meat heat more evenly.

The brigade commander and political commissar also came to the restaurant at this time, and seeing that the meals on the table were all common meals, they immediately called the cooking squad leader, "What about Director Meng of Tepei, isn't he here to cook, what is the food he cooks?" ”

The cooking squad leader hurriedly said: "Report to the brigade commander, Director Meng is still cooking, he asked us to serve the meal first, for fear of starving you." ”

The political commissar said at this time: "I just said that the time is too tight now, let Xiao Meng prepare the meal in such a hurry, he will definitely not be busy." ”

The brigade commander waved his hand, "When a soldier eats and cooks, it is a speed, without this speed, fast and good is their basic skill, in this way, I will go over to see how Xiao Meng is doing, you eat first." ”

When the political commissar saw that the brigade commander was going to the back kitchen, how could he have the heart to eat, and the political commissar had eaten the food cooked by Meng Chuan, he knew what Meng Chuan's craftsmanship was, and he knew that even if Meng Chuan made a dish casually, the taste was many times better than that of ordinary cooks, and he was also a little worried about the food made by Meng Chuan.

So he hurriedly got up and followed, "I'll go and see it too." ”

The two chief officers got up, and the other people in the restaurant couldn't sit still, how could the chief officer not eat first, and the people below began to eat, and now they didn't move their chopsticks, and they didn't move their chopsticks.

I want to follow the brigade commander to the back kitchen, which is not something that ordinary people can get into.

I didn't follow along, sat at the dinner table, and looked at these meals with a hungry stomach, which was really a little uncomfortable with hunger.

As soon as the brigade commander opened the curtain, a smell of sauced beef came out, and he couldn't help but speak, "Hey, this taste is really fragrant, Xiao Meng, your cooking skills are quite good." ”

The political commissar was not surprised, but when he smelled the smell of this sauced beef, he couldn't help but swallow.

Meng Chuan saw the brigade commander come in, and the hand stirring the pot immediately stopped, and immediately said, "Brigade commander, why did you come in." ”

The brigade commander waved his hand, "Don't stand upright, I'll come in and see how you are cooking, when will the meal be ready?" ”

Meng Chuan pointed to the boiled millet porridge and fried pig's blood with chili, "These two things have been done, and there is still one sauce beef left, and it will be ready soon." ”

The political commissar was stunned when he heard the sauced beef, "Xiao Meng, in such a short time, can you make the sauced beef well?" Isn't beef particularly resistant to stew? ”

Meng Chuan immediately explained, "The beef is ready-made stew in the cooking class, so I will take it and process it, so it is made very quickly." ”

The brigade commander didn't care about the sauced beef, although the sauce beef tasted really good, but as the chief, he was never short of meat, so he was more interested in the pot of millet porridge.

"Xiao Meng, this pot of porridge is boiling well, I see that there are a lot of ingredients in it, are you sure it is cooked?"

Meng Chuan laughed, "Brigade Commander, you can rest assured that the food I cooked is definitely cooked." ”

Even through the room full of the aroma of sauced beef, the brigade commander still smelled the fragrance of millet, which made his index fingers move, picked up a spoon casually, and scooped a bowl, "I'll taste it for everyone first." ”

After taking the first sip, the brigade commander felt the soft and glutinous taste of millet, and after tasting it for a while, he couldn't help but give Meng Chuan a thumbs up, "This tastes amazing, it's not thick or thin, and the millet slides into the stomach along the soup, it's really good." ”

Then I ate a red date, and when I felt the sweet taste of the red date, I asked in surprise: "Xiao Meng, where did you get this red date, why is it so sweet." ”

Meng Chuan pointed to the place where the dry goods were put in the back kitchen, "That's where you got it, it's the kind you usually eat." ”

The brigade commander was puzzled: "No, this is different from the taste I used to eat, and it didn't taste so sweet." ”

When the political commissar heard this, he curiously took one and stuffed it into his mouth, when he ate it, he didn't feel big, but when he swallowed it, he could still feel the sweetness echoing in his mouth, and he was really surprised, "I know what it means to be articulate, just such a red date, Xiao Meng can make it so delicious, this cooking skill is really amazing." ”

When the other people who followed heard the two chiefs commenting like this, their eyes were almost stretched into the casserole, and they wanted to see what this millet porridge was cooked into, so that the two chiefs could be so obsessed.
