Chapter 1282 Sauce Donkey Meat
It is impossible to have only one white-cut donkey belly on the dinner table, and at this time the big stick has to be stewed in the pot.
However, if you simply stew big bones, it will be a bit of a waste of cooking utensils resources, and here Meng Chuan plans to get a pot of donkey miscellaneous soup.
Meng Chuan's donkey offal soup is not at all in conflict with what he just said about cold mixed fried donkey offal, let's talk about cold salad first, if you want cold salad, you have to cook it first, anyway, just stewed big bone sticks are also stewed, it is better to add some donkey offal to cook.
As for stir-frying, this doesn't need to be cooked, but stir-fry is destined not to fry much, the reason is very simple, not all ingredients are suitable for stir-frying, so donkey waist and donkey liver are better to stir-fry, and the others are better to put directly in the pot and cook.
Donkey blood will have to settle for a while before it can coagulate, but donkey blood is very peculiar, it is not red after cooking, but white, just like the color of frozen tofu, but the taste is really unusual, as far as Meng Chuan's taste is concerned, it is definitely not weaker than duck blood.
Fortunately, donkey blood is easy to cook, and after this coagulation, it is too late to cut into pieces and put them in the pot.
Put all the ingredients that should be put in the pot, Meng Chuan started to do the big fan of donkey meat, donkey's front and back legs, buttocks, these meats are second only to donkey belly meat, used to make sauce donkey meat, it's not too suitable.
Because of the long time of sauce donkey meat, Meng Chuan will make the sauce donkey meat first, and then make stir-fried and cold vegetables.
If you want to make sauce donkey meat, you have to blanch it first, and it is always a procedure that terrestrial creatures must go through, of course, it is okay not to blanch, then use more spices to cover up this fishy smell, Meng Chuan personally thinks, it is not necessary, and it is not a barbecue, you can use chili noodles to sprinkle the barbecue material, and the taste of sauce meat is not heavy, it is too heavy, but delicious.
Bring water to a boil.
Put the donkey meat directly in a pot of cold water, put in ginger slices and cooking wine, take out the donkey meat after boiling, flush down the cold water, and the blanching is done.
Let's start doing it in earnest.
Heat the oil.
When the oil is hot, put in the rock sugar, pay attention here, the rock sugar is easy to boil, so you must pay attention to the heat here, people with average cooking skills, use medium heat or even low heat, and wait for the rock sugar to boil, and heat it slowly.
After boiling the sugar in the pot, add the green onions, ginger and garlic, star anise, cinnamon, dried red pepper shreds cut in advance, if you like to eat hemp, put a handful of peppercorns, and finally scoop a spoonful of Pixian bean paste, and fry the red oil in the pot.
As soon as the spices were put into the pot, when they first came into contact with the hot oil, the fragrance rushed out directly, and all the onlookers were immediately immersed in this amazing spicy smell.
The cooking squad leader saw that Meng Chuan's cooking technique was basically the same as the seasoning he usually used for cooking, but the taste that Meng Chuan made, that is, fragrant, thought about it, and it could only be attributed to the problem of heat.
I really didn't expect that a veteran who has been a cook for more than ten years can't compare to a special operations chief in terms of fire.
The political commissar is a southerner, and he can't stand this spicy smell, so he patted Duan You, "You watch here first, I'll go out to breathe, I can't stand the smell." ”
Duan You saw that the political commissar was going out, which was just right, so he could let the political commissar take Director Li out, "You take Director Li out, and when the meal is ready, I will ask someone to call you." ”
However, Director Li was reluctant to leave, he really didn't expect that Meng Chuan, the head of special operations, would actually cook such a fragrant meal, and they all said that the people take food as the sky, and those who serve as soldiers are naturally not exempt from vulgarity, what is the taste of the big pot of rice that they usually eat? Compared with this, it is really 108,000 miles away.
Of course, this is not to say that the big pot rice is not delicious, in fact, although the soldiers have mixed reviews of the big pot rice, they all eat it very deliciously, the reason is very simple, let you run ten kilometers a day, you eat everything is delicious.
The political commissar saw that Director Li was reluctant to leave, and it was not easy to drag people away, "Then I will go out first, Director Meng will definitely have to cook this meal for a long time, and when it is ready, Lao Duan will send someone to call me." ”
Duan You nodded, "Don't worry, without you as the political commissar present, who would dare to have a meal in the whole group." ”
As for Director Li, he was still silent in the smell of food, and Duan You didn't bother to call him, but he didn't expect that a leader who came down from the group army actually put on a look like he hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes, which was really strange.
Then Duan You turned his head and sniffed it, 'Well, it's so fragrant!' ’
Meng Chuan continued to cook here, after the spices were stir-fried, he poured in the donkey meat and began to stir-fry and color, not to mention that the big pot of rice without a little strength people can't do it, this stir-fried donkey meat is really no less than mixing cement on the construction site, dozens of catties of meat, to keep stir-frying, the strength of the hand can be very demanding.
Otherwise, they all say that the cooks have big shoulders and round waists, and without this physique, they really can't be the chefs of Huaxia.
After stir-frying evenly, pour in water, and if there is a stock, it is better to use the stock.
Then pour soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine into it, while coloring, you can also add some fragrance, and finally add a little sesame oil, you can leave it alone, wait for high heat to cook for 30 minutes, turn to low heat and simmer for an hour, you can let it cool and cut into pieces.
If you are patient, you can soak the donkey meat in the soup for half a day before eating, for example, if you make it today and take it out tomorrow, the taste will be better.
However, Meng Chuan adjusted the sauce at the beginning, so he didn't have to worry about the taste, and in addition, the pots and pans in the canteen were not too many, and they couldn't be kept occupying the pots all the time.
Here, Duan You watched Meng Chuan start to stew the donkey meat, licked his tongue and asked, "Lao Li, when will you be able to eat this donkey meat, I see that this fragrance is very full." ”
Meng Chuan and Duan You have known each other for many years, and they still don't know Duan You's thoughts, "Old Duan, wait, it will take at least an hour and a half, just in time for dinner, or you should be busy first, it's not the same thing to stay in the kitchen all the time." ”
Duan You finally got lazy, adding that he hadn't seen Meng Chuan for more than a year, so he was in a hurry to go back, he still had a lot to say to Meng Chuan, so he looked at Director Li, "Director Li, you ran here from the military headquarters, and the boat and car are tired, otherwise I will ask the correspondent to take you to rest first, and when you get up from a nap, this dinner will be fine." ”
Director Li didn't fall asleep, he didn't know why, he just wanted to watch Meng Chuan cook, "Thank you for your kindness, but the military headquarters is only an hour's drive away from your regiment, so it's not tiring to talk about traveling." ”
"In addition, last year, the head of the headquarters issued a notice, saying that it was suggested that the soldiers could use their free time to go to the cooking class to help cook, I think the head of the headquarters is very right, this is to help the cooking class, one is to reduce the work of some cooking class soldiers. Second, you can also learn to cook. ”
"It is said that the people take food as the sky, and so do our soldiers, no matter where they are, food is the most important thing for people, just like gasoline to a car, a car without gasoline can only lie on its stomach, and a soldier without food, even if it is well-trained, cannot play. It's not easy for me to come to the cooking class, so I plan to follow along and take a look, and it's best to learn a little bit and enrich my knowledge. ”
