Chapter 18 Boiling Vegetables
"Genius genius idea!"
Caesar kept holding his palms, his face was full of amazement, and on the other side was Leonardo da Vinci's eyes lit up.
"Some of your thoughts are also shocking, it turns out that this is the wisdom of the famous Julius Caesar, sure enough, it is worthy of the legendary great man."
"Well, should I say that I can't talk at all?"
An Yi is left in the kitchen of the castle in Gaul, and he is bored, so he can only study the cooking skills, because there is no systematic speculation and budget, but it makes An Yi have a little bit of fun in his own research.
And this time, An Yi didn't plan to develop such exquisite dishes, and there were not so many kinds of ingredients in the army for An Yi to study, so An Yi was ready to make classic dishes in the north and boil them.
Boiling vegetables is actually the name of the comfortable hometown, boiling vegetables, in fact, it is a stew, is a general term for a traditional cuisine in southern Hebei, Luxi and other regions, mostly used for marriage, marriage, or to add a new child to celebrate the three times, entertain relatives and friends, the old, the neighborhood, a kind of happy dish, because the cauldron is boiled, some places are directly called the cauldron dish. The main ingredients will also lead to different ingredients due to different places. In general, it's quite casual, basically using whatever ingredients you have. It's just that some of the main ingredients will not change, such as pork, kelp, croquettes, fried tofu, potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and sometimes some vermicelli or dried vegetables will be put in the comfort of the house, and then with soy sauce, salt, peppercorns, and other things, boiled into a full pot. After cooking, scoop out a bowl, there are all the ingredients in it, take two Xuan Teng Teng soft and live white flour steamed buns, if you want to eat sour, you can also pour some vinegar into the bowl, and then find a place to squat. Tsk, that feeling, it's great.
Maybe it's because of the war, maybe it's only a century, but there's not the slightest thing like cabbage or potato vermicelli, let alone some seasonings.
An Yi couldn't help but be glad that the last time I went to France was in the Middle Ages, but there was already a seafaring trade, at least some ingredients could be found, and in the first century it was only possible to use local materials.
As a heroic spirit, although there is no anti-poison skill, but in a general sense, poisonous plants are still poisonous and immortal, so An Yi simply started his own great business of tasting herbs, and used his own sense of taste to analyze the wild vegetables or weeds he picked in the wild little by little? Then I gradually began to build a recipe in my own mind.
"Hmm...... This juice is very rich, and it will taste quite good when you boil it. ”
Anyi carries a basket behind his back, and it is really inconvenient to have no system.
"This tastes a little sour, maybe it can be used to make seasonings?"
Not only one trip, because An Yi had also hunted ingredients, and he could not kill them all, so An Yi could not directly collect all the land, and had to leave some left, so An Yi could almost be said to have gone far away, and even faintly could see a corner of Boudicca's camp. But An Yi didn't have the preparation to say hello in the past, anyway, this place had nothing to do with him, and An Yi was now thinking about how to make a pot of boiled vegetables.
The ingredients have almost been collected, the corresponding seasonings have almost been prepared, and An Yi has begun to prepare to make boiled dishes, but the ingredients still need to be processed to a certain extent.
There are many ways to eat vegetables, and some vegetables are suitable for eating raw, without adding anything, just rinsing them and eating them, just like fruits. These ingredients can also be paired with a variety of sauces, and when combined with different sauces and vegetables, they create a rich flavor.
Other vegetables are suitable for roasting, pickling, frying, stewing, etc......
Some stewed vegetables can be stewed directly, but some vegetables can be dried in the sun, and then stewed again to fill the vegetables with water, then they will have a unique flavor. By the way, even dried vegetables can be eaten as a snack, but of course, after all, a certain amount of processing is required.
It takes a long time to dry, but don't forget that super touch is also a comfortable cooking skill, so you can increase the temperature of your palm and start drying vegetables directly.
Of course, this does not require two hands, one hand is enough, and the other hand is comfortable to start processing unknown meat, and it is not very difficult for An Yi to concentrate on two things.
You don't need soup to boil the vegetables, you can get up from a large pot, pour in the boiled animal oil, and then add the seasonings and vegetables, and the fragrant smell will immediately come out. Then Anyi put the ingredients into the oil pot, and the same ingredients of meat and vegetables were comfortably put into the pot and stir-fried, then poured water, the water surface completely covered the ingredients, and then put in the dried vegetables.
"Well, the smell is already coming out."
When it comes to boiling vegetables, then the match must be white flour and big steamed buns, and flour is still available in this era. Using the treasure to manifest the pastry stick, because there is no system, there is no old noodles at hand, so Anyi can only extract yeast for fermentation, thanks to the super tactile temperature, slightly adjust, to the temperature suitable for yeast growth, speed up the fermentation process.
Next, the dough began to be kneaded, and the dough stick drove the flour and water to rotate constantly, and then a white dough appeared on the board, because An Yi was not going to eat alone, so the size of the dough was a bit beyond the norm.
Then the hands began to move in a regular rhythm, and one after another small dough was kneaded out by An Yi, and then the prototype of a steamed bun with a flat bottom and a round top appeared under An Yi's hand.
Then there is the steamer, with a cloth on the cage drawer, and then one dough after another is placed on it, and then the fire is fired.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
An Yi looked at the steamer and the big iron pot in front of him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It smells so good."
Leonardo da Vinci, Caesar behind him, and even Li Shuwen followed.
"Xiao Anyi, what are you doing?"
Leonardo da Vinci stared at the kitchen utensils on the fire.
"Oh, are you steaming steamed buns?"
After all, Li Shuwen is a heroic spirit of the Chinese system, so he is still quite familiar with Chinese cuisine.
"Yes, and a big pot of dishes."
It seems that it is almost there, and An Yi also directly uses the explosion to speed up, and in an instant, the food is ready.
Lifting the lid, hot steam rose from the inside of the steamer, like a white dragon, and the iron pot on the other side burst out with an amazing aroma.
And looking at the people who were already holding a bowl in their hands and begging for food, they helplessly supported their foreheads, scooped a big bowl first, and then held two big steamed buns.
"You ...... at will"
Then An Yi squatted aside and ate wildly, while the rest of the people immediately began to snatch the full martial arts.
