Chapter 483 Poria Winter Melon Old Duck Soup
However, Lieutenant Colonel Liu had never seen Meng Chuan's craftsmanship, and he was not sure whether Meng Chuan's cooking was good or not, so he stopped after just two steps, "Xiao Meng, I haven't asked you yet, how is your craftsmanship, let's not talk about it first, if you even eat it, then let's not waste that effort."

Meng Chuan immediately said: "Lieutenant Colonel Liu, I was originally from the cooking class, and I have a big spoon in the canteen of the division organ, and the food I make should not be unpalatable. ”
As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Liu heard that Meng Chuan had a big spoon in the canteen of the division of the army, he knew that his cooking skills must not be bad, after all, he also cooked for the leaders, and his cooking skills must be at least the level of a three-star hotel chef, after all, there should be three or five hundred soldiers in a division with ten thousand commanders, and those who can be in charge of the canteen of the division must be the top level among the three or five hundred people, so the cooking skills are definitely not weaker than the chef of a three-star hotel, so he immediately took Meng Chuan to the material warehouse, "Let's go, let's go get the ingredients first." ”
As a food research institute, there are all kinds of ingredients, and Lieutenant Colonel Xie made a note and brought out the ingredients that Meng Chuan needed.
Originally, there was a pot stove in the food research institute, but this is not a business after all, and it has to be recorded when it is used, which is a bit troublesome, so it is better to go back to the dormitory to do it, anyway, there is a place to cook in the dormitory.
Lieutenant Colonel Liu's dormitory is not far from Meng Chuan, just two rooms apart, Lieutenant Colonel Liu opened the door, Meng Chuan directly saw a set of cooking utensils, no gas stove, it is an induction cooker and a rice cooker, in fact, there are enough rice cookers, use a rice cooker to cook soup slowly, the effect is also very good, but it is a little slow, or use an induction cooker to hurry up.
After Meng Chuan entered, he sorted out the ingredients first, Poria cocos is the first medicine for water infiltration, which can effectively improve the spleen and stomach imbalance, loss of appetite, indigestion and other conditions, and the taste is also very good, it is really suitable for making medicinal food.
Duck meat also has the effect of benefiting water, and more importantly, it has the effect of anti-aging and anti-aging, and maintaining cardiovascular health, which is really good for the elderly.
In addition, some winter melon and ginger are prepared, and the ingredients are almost ready.
Peel and remove the seeds of the winter melon and slice it, cut the duck meat into cubes, cut the poria cocos into cubes, and slice the ginger.
Meng Chuan just said to Lieutenant Colonel Liu that he had worked in the cooking class of the canteen of the division, so Lieutenant Colonel Liu was still a little prepared for Meng Chuan's cooking skills, but when Meng Chuan began to cut vegetables, Lieutenant Colonel Liu was still shocked by Meng Chuan's cutting technique, and the kitchen knife made a very neat sound when cutting vegetables, and Lieutenant Colonel Liu looked at the winter melon cut by Meng Chuan again, and the thickness of each slice was as if it had been measured with a ruler, and there was no difference at all.
With Meng Chuan's hand, Lieutenant Colonel Liu knew that Meng Chuan's cooking skills were definitely not low.
Meng Chuan didn't see Lieutenant Colonel Liu's surprised face, and after cutting the vegetables, he immediately began to prepare to do it, blanching the duck meat with water first, which can not only filter the blood water, but also make the meat of the duck meat firm.
Then pour oil into the pot and start stir-frying the duck meat, the main purpose of Meng Chuan's fried duck meat is to fry the fragrance, although the main purpose of the medicinal diet is to nourish the effect, but if you don't do it well, it will affect the mood of the diners, if the mood is not good, the tonic effect of the medicinal diet will really shrink.
The time of stir-frying the duck meat should not be too long, as long as the aroma is stir-fried, then it can be out of the pot.
At this time, don't pour the remaining oil in the pot first, and Meng Chuan stir-fried the ginger again, the effect is still the same, just to improve the deliciousness.
Because this meal was made for the director, even Lieutenant Colonel Liu couldn't be sure if Director He would eat it, so Meng Chuan must make this medicinal meal ready, so that Director He wanted to eat it as soon as he smelled it.
After the ginger was cooked in hot oil, the fragrance immediately came out, mixed with the fragrance of duck meat, Lieutenant Colonel Liu swallowed his saliva when he smelled it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Meng's cooking skills are really good, halfway through the meal, you can lead yourself to drool, but I have just eaten." ”
At this time, the fried ones have been fried, Meng Chuan next put the duck meat, ginger, and Poria cocos into the pot, and then mixed with water to stew, the water must not be over the duck meat, it is best to have two more centimeters, because the winter melon has not been put yet, and it is not okay to put less water.
Then Meng Chuan adjusted the induction cooker to the maximum power, began to simmer, about fifteen minutes later, opened the lid of the pot, put in the winter melon, because Meng Chuan was in a hurry, so it was only simmered for fifteen minutes, we usually do, it is best to simmer for more than half an hour in the winter melon, after all, the duck soup is the same as chicken soup, the more stewed, the better.
When Meng Chuan opened the lid of the pot and put in the winter melon just now, the aroma of duck meat and poria rushed up directly, and Lieutenant Colonel Liu, who had been relieved for a while, stopped the overflow of saliva a little, who knew that as soon as he smelled this fragrance, his stomach growled directly, "It shouldn't be, obviously I have just eaten, how can I be hungry again, it seems that this Meng Chuan's cooking skills are really amazing, and the food made is really restorative to Director He's body." ”
Winter melon is an ingredient that is easy to cook, and if it is stewed for too long, it is easy to stew, so Meng Chuan did not stew it hard, and it took about ten minutes to stew, and it was almost the same.
Then add a pinch of salt and you're ready to go.
The taste of the elderly is generally very strong, so when eating food, they like to eat big flavors, and the most common manifestation is that they put more salt in cooking, but salt is really bad for the body of the elderly, because eating too much salt can easily promote cardiovascular disease.
Moreover, salt can also affect the metabolism of calcium, increase the loss of calcium, and is likely to lead to osteoporosis.
Meng Chuan didn't put much salt, I hope Director He can eat it, but there is not much salt to put it, it does not affect the fragrance of the meal at all, Lieutenant Colonel Liu's nose is about to smell the pot at this time, when he saw Meng Chuan looking at himself in surprise, Lieutenant Colonel Liu smiled embarrassedly: "I just smell the taste, Xiao Meng, don't say, your cooking skills are really good, when will your brother Liu be able to eat a meal you cooked." ”
Meng Chuan heard Lieutenant Colonel Liu's words and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, when you're done, I'll cook you a meal in the evening, and I haven't fried food seriously for a long time, and I don't know if I can do it well." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Liu heard that he could taste Meng Chuan's craftsmanship at night, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go shopping for vegetables in the evening, Xiao Meng, I'll buy whatever food you like to eat." ”
Meng Chuan smiled, "Brother Liu, I am from the army, I am not a picky eater, I like to eat everything, you still pick some dishes you like, I will make them." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Liu gave Meng Chuan a thumbs up, "Little Meng, it's interesting enough." ”
Then he took out the thermos box and handed it to Meng Chuan, "Xiao Meng, you hurry up and bring the soup up, let's hurry up and wait outside the laboratory." ”
