Chapter 736 Nourishing soft-shelled turtle soup

Since it is the deputy chief of staff who wants to eat it, then serve it with pork ribs, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, and wolfberries to make a nourishing soft-shelled turtle soup.

This is considered a health care food in the medicinal diet, the most important thing is to restore vitality and replenish energy, and this soup can also nourish the kidneys well, nourish qi and replenish deficiency, it is definitely very suitable for the chief to drink.

The squad leader cut the soft-shelled turtle neatly, and at this time, Meng Chuan brought a basin of hot water, "Squad leader, I'll deal with the skirt." ”

Although the meat of the skirt is the best among the soft-shelled turtles, it must also be done well, and the first step is to clean the rough skin of the skirt.

Meng Chuan was washing the soft-shelled turtle with hot water, and the squad leader asked, "Captain Meng, what ingredients do we use to stew?" ”

Meng Chuan immediately said: "Use pork ribs, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, wolfberry, squad leader, you prepare the ribs first, don't cut the ribs too fast, just three centimeters long." ”

Cutting ribs, this is the squad leader's forte, after all, his full-time job is cooking, and ribs are also the most common ingredients in the army.

If it weren't for the army's restrictions on the purchase of ingredients, the squad leader would definitely be able to make soft-shelled turtle soup perfectly, after all, more than ten years of cooking skills are not just talking.

As for the method of making this soft-shelled turtle soup, it is also very simple, the first thing is to pass the blood water first, in short, as long as it is stewed broth, blanching is definitely the first step, because blanching can filter out the dirt and blood in the meat, so that the soup will taste good.

After the blood water, you can start to stew, first put the pork ribs in the bottom layer, then put in the soft-shelled turtle, and finally sprinkle with shiitake mushrooms, ginger, and wolfberries.

It should be noted here that the water must be added sufficiently, just like stewed pig's trotters, if the water is not enough, if the cold water is added because of insufficient water, the protein will solidify, and the taste will be much worse at that time.

If you really don't add enough water, then you can only add freshly boiled water to the saucepan, so as to maximize the taste of the ingredients.

There is one last thing to pay attention to, that is, don't be in a hurry to put the seasoning, especially the salt seasoning, if we usually want to keep the meat for a day or two to eat, we will smear salt on the meat to extend the shelf life, but after smearing the salt, you will find that the water in the meat is overflowing, and when the meat is fried again, the meat will be more or less dry.

The same principle is for stewed meat, if you add salt and add it early, the meat will not dry out, but it will get old, and if you eat it like this, it will affect the taste.

It is best to stew soft-shelled turtle soup for a longer time, after all, the more the soup is stewed, the more delicious it is, Meng Chuan believes that the best time is to simmer for two hours, if the time is not enough, it is okay to stew for an hour.

As for wanting to use a more time-saving pressure cooker, Meng Chuan is extremely unlikely to stew like this, because this soft-shelled turtle soup itself is a nourishing soup, and the nutrition can only be stewed by slowly stewing.

Don't think that soft-shelled turtle shell has no nutrition, in our traditional Chinese medicine, soft-shelled turtle shell is a medicinal material, and there are a lot of supplements.

So let's not try to be fast, stew slowly, and stew all the nutrients into the soup, so as not to waste it.

The smell of stewed soft-shelled turtle soup quickly wafted out, especially after Meng Chuan's intervention, the fragrance of soft-shelled turtle soup became even stronger, and soon a second lieutenant came over, "Hey, isn't this Captain Meng, why are you here, are you hungry?" ”

Meng Chuan saw that it was the secretary who came, and said with a smile: "I was hungry just now, so I came over to eat noodles, and then watched the squad leader make this soft-shelled turtle." ”

The secretary general is more polite to Meng Chuan, the military rank is secondary, the most important thing is status, don't look at the secretary usually eats and drinks spicy, life is very beautiful, but the status is not high, because there is a saying in our army, "If you are not the secretary general, you will not stand on the second shift." ”

It's said that don't look at the secretary with a long word, he is a small leader, but at best, he is a big firehead army, and there are many thieves, and many soldiers would rather be the leader of the cooking squad than the secretary general.

How easy it is to be a cooking squad leader, and on the front line of the kitchen, you can eat whatever you want, after all, it's right in front of you, and it's a convenient thing.

And although the secretary is in charge of the cooking class, you are not in the cooking class, just like the company commander or the leader of your cooking class, and I haven't seen the company commander go to the cooking class, so even if you are the secretary general, Koufu is definitely not as good as the cooking squad leader.

The secretary also came over after smelling the smell, but he didn't expect a soft-shelled turtle soup to be stewed so fragrantly, "Captain Meng, if there is nothing wrong, I will send the soup to the chief first, you see that it is not too early this day, and the chief will eat and rest early." ”

Then he looked at the squad leader, "Lao Du, you can take the soup for a while, and you will go with me to deliver the soup later." ”

The squad leader hurriedly said: "Secretary General, in fact, this soup was made by Captain Meng, because I had never dealt with soft-shelled turtles before, so my hands were very raw, thanks to Captain Meng's help." ”

Meng Chuan hurriedly waved his hand, "I just commanded casually, or blindly, you can quickly send soup to the chief." The secretary and squad leader, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, so you guys should be busy. ”

The secretary nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, Captain Meng, you go slowly." ”

As soon as Meng Chuan left, the secretary asked a little curiously: "Lao Du, what do you say about the brother of our battalion commander, and I absolutely don't believe him when he says he is just a small group leader of the logistics department of the military region." Just by looking at these three days of exercises, I knew that he had an extraordinary background. ”

The squad leader also chimed in: "Yes, not only in combat, but even in cooking, that is a first-class master." If nothing else, let's just say that the stew he made yesterday tasted amazing. Don't you see the chief and the soldiers in a row, the food is called a fierce, just the lunch box we use, the soldiers in a row, each person ate an average of three bowls. ”

The secretary knows how big our marching lunch box is, usually a soldier will be full after eating one bowl of rice, and these three bowls of rice will not be broken?

The squad leader couldn't say why, "It's not broken, I think they slipped around a lot after dinner to eat." ”

At this time, the soup was all in the thermos box, "Secretary, let's go quickly, this soft-shelled turtle soup has to be drunk while it is hot, if it is cold, the taste will not be good." ”

"Okay, then you follow me, let's go find the chief."

The secretary took the squad leader to the chief's tent and found that the battalion commander's correspondent was also there, so he hurriedly approached, "Is the battalion commander still reporting something to the chief?" ”

The correspondent nodded, "Well, the battalion commanders have been in for a while." By the way, did you send soup, the battalion commander said, if you send soup, just go in. ”
