Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Method Is Different
Chapter 87 has a different approach
It's true that the approach is different. Ziyue was wondering what she was going to do. Yang Chan's own cooking skills already have a considerable level, unlike the monkey chef in Huaguo Mountain, who asks her to teach her by hand, so she doesn't need to be there.
"In this way, I'll do it again, let's see what the difference is, okay?" Ziyue asked.
"Okay." Yang Chan cleaned up the cooktop with her hands, there was almost no greasy residue, and she also wanted to see what Ziyue did and what she did, what was the difference.
What's the difference? It is different from the selection of materials.
What Ziyue took was not pork belly, but a piece of fat, six and four thin pork hind legs, also known as two-knife meat.
Yang Chan wanted to ask, but obviously it was not a good idea to talk while cooking, and it was not only for herself to eat, what if the droplets flew in? Just now, Ziyue just shut up the whole time, so now she can only hold back.
The pork was washed, the pot was under cold water, and the green onion was knotted and ginger was crushed, but Ziyue did not choose cooking wine, but put peppercorns. Yang Chan is not surprised at this step, there are generally two more fashionable ways to cook the meat back to the pot, enlarged star anise, etc. and boiled in white water. It is very fragrant to put the big ingredients, but it will cover up the umami of the meat itself, and you should be patient when boiling it in white water, otherwise it will be bloody. At this point, Ziyue's choice is the same as Yang Chan's.
The surface of the water gradually became foamy, and Ziyue took the trouble to fish out every bit of foam again and again. This is the patience required for white water boiling, these foams are the impurities in the meat, that is, the main source of fishy smell, there is no foreign matter to remove the fishy, do not remove the foam, once the fire is turned off, the foam will enter the meat again, and the fishy smell will appear again.
When the meat came out of the pot, the soup was already clear and looked very clean, and the sieve used by Ziyue was very dense, and there was almost no foam in the water.
Yang Chan found that there was one point of view that she and Ziyue shared, that is, the only side dish for the back pot meat was only garlic sprouts. also use a knife to pat the garlic white, but Ziyue only has the garlic white is an oblique knife, and the garlic sprouts are still straight knives.
The meat is still frozen with ice water, but Ziyue took it out a little earlier than Yang Chan, and the temperature was a little higher when cutting the meat. The thickness of the meat slices is the same, both are 3 mm, but the meat pieces in Ziyue's hand are placed diagonally, not with the skin facing down or the lean meat facing down.
Turn on the heat, heat the pan with oil, the lard melts, and the vegetable oil bubbles and sizzles. The oil color becomes darker, about seven years old, the hot oil is cut, the meat slices begin to curl within 30 seconds, the fat meat is oily, and the condiment is added. Pixian bean paste, Tianhe tempeh, hydrated sweet noodle sauce, meat coloring, then garlic sprouts, stir-fry until the garlic sprouts are broken, and remove from the pot.
The two plates of meat are placed together, the color is red and bright, the garlic sprouts are green and white, the oil color is clear, and they will not make the low-level mistake of sticking to the pan fine materials, and a simple white porcelain plate is particularly exquisite.
However, Yang Chan's back-to-the-pot meat does not have such a delicate lamp nest.
Yang Chan tasted it with chopsticks, Ziyue's back to the pot meat, lean meat and fat are just right, the fat is not greasy, and the lean meat is not firewood.
"That's why you chose two cuts?" Yang Chan asked.
Ziyue bowed: "When I was studying, the teacher who taught me cooking said so. ”
"I see." Yang Chan was a little stunned.
When she was learning to cook, no one taught her at all, and she had to steal the teacher and figure it out by herself, so she took a detour at some point, and she didn't know it herself.
It turns out that the secret is as simple as that.
"Fairy Jingyi, teach me a few more appetizers."
"Appetizers?" Ziyue glanced at the two plates of back pot meat on the table, and roughly had a spectrum of Yang Jian's taste, seeing that Yang Chan's mood was not high, although she didn't know the reason, but Ziyue didn't want Yang Chan to indulge in a bad mood for too long, do you want to tell a joke?
"Do you know a couple of big lies in the culinary world?"
"Uh...... There is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork, there is no husband and wife in the couple's lung slices, and there is no wife in the wife's cake? Yang Chan said that this joke has been circulating in Feimeng for a long time, and of course she has seen it, even if it is not the first time she has heard it.
"Well, but not only are there no husbands and wives in the couple's lung films, but there are not even lung films." Ziyue shrugged.
"Poof." Yang Chan couldn't help laughing.
"I'm not kidding." Ziyue also pursed her lips.
Of course, Yang Chan knew that the main materials of the couple's lung tablets were actually cow scalp and cow water, but they did not include lung tablets. The beef lungs are too strong, but they can't be boiled at all, and they are generally used to make soup.
Husband and wife lung slices are cold dishes, except for the foam skimmed off when blanching, the so-called focus is actually only the recipe of old marinade, spices, and sauce, and there is no secret in details...... Of course, if you want to say that knife work is the secret, I don't object, Ziyue gave Yang Chan a recipe, and the taste she made was almost the same as Ziyue.
"Actually, if you want snacks, my most recommended is not the couple's lung slices." Ziyue tasted every ingredient and confirmed that Yang Chan had mastered it, so Ziyue put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and covered her mouth without coming down.
It's not that she's rude, although she can do it, it doesn't mean she likes it! Ziyue prefers a fresh and sweet taste, although spicy has a positive reputation for the five flavors, but Ziyue really doesn't like it, her mouth will become red when she tastes it casually, and after eating so many bites, her mouth has already become a sausage!
"What's that?" Yang Chan was curious.
"When it comes to snacks, I actually recommend peanuts first." Ziyue covered her mouth slightly with a handkerchief, and her voice was slightly hoarse. The cool medicinal mist on the handkerchief covered his lips, making the red and swollen lips disappear as soon as possible, but the slightly hoarse voice did not recover so quickly.
Yang Chan should have seen something, her eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.
When Ziyue finally took off the handkerchief, there was no trace of any trace of her lips except for a little redness and swelling, and her voice had recovered mostly, and she couldn't hear anything wrong if she didn't listen carefully. After all, Ziyue is hand-born, her medicine mist is used jointly, and the proficiency is not enough, and the medicinal effect is average, if you change the medicine mist made by the Floating Flower Fairy, you can still do a maintenance if there is no problem.
"Peanuts are actually the best appetizer, whether it is white water peanuts or drunkard peanuts, there are quite a lot of fans. White water peanuts are light and inclusive, which can best retain the taste of the wine itself, and if you want to taste wine, white water peanuts are almost an indispensable side dish. The drunkard peanuts are fragrant, crispy, and crispy, which is the best way to help the wine. Ziyue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Sounds good, why don't you try it?" Yang Chan knows that her second brother is good at wine, and he is the hardcore of the drunkard peanut, so of course she will not let it go.
"Okay!"
