Chapter 40: Cherry Meat

The kitchen was very clean and tidy, and the ingredients needed were already ready.

Chen Er asked Liu Jiming if he would mind showing his face in the live broadcast.

Liu Jiming shook his head, "Anyway, not many people will pay attention to these, everyone will only focus on food." ”

Chen Er thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense.

Then he turned his gaze to Liu Yunya on the side and asked her if she minded.

Liu Yunya's reaction was unusually cute. After listening to Chen Er's question, she hurriedly stretched out her hands to hold her face and said, "I knew that I would also be photogenic, so I will put on makeup and come over today!" ”

Chen Er laughed, "This also looks good." ”

Liu Yunya revealed a pair of pear vortices again, "I take this sentence seriously." ”

Chen Er turned on the live broadcast, first greeted the audience, and then introduced Liu Jiming and Liu Yunya.

Some people who often travel to Suzhou or locals recognize Liu Jiming's shop.

This shop has a very good reputation, and many travel guides have included this store in it. Think it's an essential gastronomic tour.

Chen Er is also very happy to be on the same stage with the master today.

Liu Jiming asked Chen Er what he knew about Soviet-style food.

Chen Er thought for a while and said, "When I was in college, there was a Soviet-style restaurant near the school, and the owner was from Suzhou, and the food was very delicious. At that time, my favorite food was cherry meat and stir-fried shrimp. ”

Chen Er was also surprised that he would like such a light two dishes, maybe it was spicy and exciting to eat too much, and it was also a good choice to eat a little fresh once in a while.

Liu Jiming nodded, "The two dishes you mentioned are more representative dishes. ”

Cherry meat is one of the traditional dishes in Su cuisine, which was founded in Jiangsu, introduced into the palace during the Qianlong period, and later became one of the famous dishes of Northeast cuisine.

Suzhou has been blessed with beautiful women throughout the ages, and the locals have a preference for elegant, delicate and small things, even the food. One of the major characteristics of cherry meat is that it is as small as a cherry, and the color is bright and moist.

Suzhou-style cuisine pays attention to "the four seasons are different, and they are on the market according to order", and spring is the time to eat cherry meat.

And stir-fried shrimp is also one of the representative dishes of Su cuisine.

Stir-fried shrimp has a refreshing taste and a pleasant taste, making it a delicious dish for all ages.

Chen Er listened carefully to Liu Jiming's words.

Liu Jiming said, "Today's first dish is up to you to choose." Choose one of the dishes you just dish. ”

Chen Er nodded, and then suddenly remembered that he hadn't given fans a science about today's rules.

"I'm going to do something very interesting today."

Chen Er said with a smile, "I learned a few hands with Master Liu, and then took out the finished dishes and gave them to the tourists passing by outside, and then bid at will." Of course, I won't show my face during the whole process......"

Chen Er said this, and coughed lightly, "As for why I don't show my face as an anchor, it's because I'm at least a celebrity now, and I can't let any factors from the outside world interfere with the judgment of tourists." ”

Qingtian: "I thought Chen Laoshi was going to say that if the female tourist saw his face, she would choose to bid for him instead of for that dish......"

Tea eggs invade the earth: "I'll rub, upstairs is the correct answer!" ”

Chen Er said seriously, "Actually, I wanted to say this just now, but how about being a low-key person......

"Although what the sunny day children's shoes say is indeed true, it is low-key and low-key ......"

Fans: "Low-key ghost ......"

Next, Chen Er began to learn how to make cherry meat from Master Liu Jiming.

The minimum condition for cherry meat is to attract color, such as the meat surface should be cut to the size of cherries, arranged neatly, and the color should be as bright and translucent as cherries, bright and attractive.

Therefore, the first thing Chen Er has to do is how to make the appearance of the cherry flesh beautiful.

It's not an easy thing to do.

The ingredients for making cherry meat are simple, with only two main ingredients, pork belly with skin and green leaves.

The first object to deal with is naturally the pork belly, and Chen Er needs to cut this piece of pork belly into beautiful cubes. It's a deceptively simple but complex process.

In the process of cutting, you need to strictly control the knife in your hand, and the cut cherry flesh needs to be the same size and not have any flaws.

It must all be 1.5 cm square.

After cutting, put it in boiling water and blanch it, blanch the water and then scoop it up, drain the water, and set it aside for later use.

Liu Jiming watched Chen Er do it on the side, then picked up the blanched cherry flesh and nodded, revealing a very surprised look.

"I didn't expect your knife skills to be so good, you have a future......"

Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "According to the experience I have learned from the exchanges with my elders in the past, I can tell Chen Laoshi very responsibly that when the elders praise you for your future, they are actually saying that you have a rich ......."

Qingtian: "Awesome, our old man is wet!" ”

Pork stewed vermicelli: "Chen Laoshi is going to make a fortune, why don't you hurry up and hug your thighs!" ”

Tea Eggs Invade Earth: "I seriously despise you money-eyed people, Kouheng! Get out of the way and save me a leg! ”

After the pork belly is cut, it's time to prepare the "cherry-colored" sauce.

Chen Er thought that the person who could name this dish cherry meat must be an ancient literary and artistic youth.

The cherry color is intense, such as Zhu Rubao, shiny and round. It's like a woman's full lips, which makes people can't bear to taste it.

And it just so happens that the ancient poem describing beauty is "the willow is like the eyebrows, the lotus is like the gills, and the cherry mouth is like the hibiscus". People can't help but think, what will this cherry meat look like when it is ready, is it really as full and moist as a woman's red lips?

Therefore, the key to making this cherry meat lies in this color.

If you want to make this pork belly look like a cherry, you need to pay special attention to the choice of ingredients.

Ingredients such as red wine, red yeast rice, Shao wine, soy sauce, and tomato sauce can make pork belly a beautiful red color.

If you like a little sweeter, you can choose red wine, if you want a sweet and sour taste, you can choose tomato sauce.

If you want a strong and special aroma, you can choose red yeast rice and Shao wine.

Chen Er thought about it and chose red yeast rice and Shao wine.

Liu Jiming nodded beside him and said, "I personally like these two ingredients more." ”

Of course, in addition to red yeast rice and Shao wine, other ingredients also need to be added to adjust the taste.

For example, green onions, ginger, salt, sugar, and monosodium glutamate.

The key to making a sauce for cherry meat is to flavor and color.

It takes time and patience to turn the pork belly into a beautiful cherry red.

Chen Er first spread a layer of chopped green onions and ginger slices in the pot.

Put the diced pork belly on top again.
