Chapter 15 Braised Meatballs

Chen Er used chopsticks to sandwich the pickled maple leaves one by one into a large bowl filled with batter.

Then as soon as the oil in the pan comes out, I immediately put the maple leaves in and put it in.

The battered maple leaves turned snow-white, and bubbles of oil bubbled up one after another in the yellow oil pan.

The edge of the maple leaf is like a small wave hit by a goldfish tumbling and swimming in the pool.

Rina Koike couldn't help but stretch her neck beside her, sniffing the aroma in the air vigorously.

The smell of the maple leaves slowly changes from cool to warm at the beginning, and the salted smell of the leaves is gradually exuding a faint sweet fragrance.

It was as if soggy honey had suddenly emerged from the leaves.

The aroma in the air becomes sweet and salty.

Chen Er held up a snow-white porcelain plate and slowly used chopsticks to fry the maple leaves out of the pot.

The fried maple leaves become a little hard, so you don't have to be careful when picking them up with chopsticks.

The chopsticks in Chen Er's hand leaned against the edge of the pot and shook it lightly twice.

The maple leaf held on the chopsticks was lightly tapped a few times on the edge of the flat pot, making a slight crisp sound.

The oil brought out of the pot flowed back into the pot along the edges and corners of the maple leaves.

Chen Er took the fried maple leaves and put them on a white porcelain plate.

There is still a shiny shimmer on the maple leaves, and when lying in a white porcelain plate, it is like a maple leaf falling in the snow being shone by the sun.

The process of frying the maple leaves was not troublesome, and it didn't take long for Chen Er to blow up the maple leaves.

It is fully loaded with two large plates.

Rina Koike watched from the side, feeling that her saliva was going to flow out.

I had to keep inhaling the aroma and saying, "It's so fragrant......

Chen Er thought she looked funny, "Haven't you ever eaten red leaf tempura?" ”

Rina Koike nodded vigorously, then shook her head again.

"I've eaten it, but what I ate before is not as fragrant as it is today!"

Chen Er smiled and said, "Then I hope that the taste of this red leaf tempura is as good as its aroma." ”

Chen Er picked up the fried red leaf tempura and set it aside.

"The fried maple leaves that I just made can only be a snack dessert. We need to cook some more. ”

Chen Er thought that since it was autumn, the red leaf tempura was made of maple leaves.

It's better to take maple leaf as today's theme, and use maple leaf as the main material for the next food.

What can you do with maple leaves?

Chen Er had already seriously thought about this issue before he came to the island country.

Before cooking, the first thing to do is to eat.

Cooking with maple leaves is much simpler, after all, Chen Er has used lotus leaves to cook before, and maple leaves are almost used for this purpose.

Chen Er washed the fresh maple leaves, then spread them neatly in the steamer, and then put the washed rice in them and spread them on the maple leaves.

Then just steam it like lotus leaf rice.

Next, there are a few side dishes to make, and the cooking time is relatively long, Chen Er first steamed the maple dew with fresh maple leaves.

Then use to boil a pot of tofu and cabbage soup, after the soup is cooked, point into the maple dew, the soup is light, transparent and clear stream water, and the soup has its own maple leaf fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

Chen Er also plans to make a braised meatball.

Chop the lean pork and shrimp together into a meat filling, then add a small amount of starch and pepper to form meatballs.

The meatballs should be fried in an oil pan until golden brown and set before they are braised in an oil pan.

The pink red meatballs rolled out of Chen Er's hands and scrambled into the oil pot like small fish.

Immediately, there was a loud "zig" sound, fluttering and tumbling in the golden oil pan, and slowly changing color.

"Fried meatballs, just fry them until they are seven or eight minutes cooked, and then we will have braised meatballs, if they are fried for too long, they will not taste so Q bombs."

Chen Er picked up the big colander and scooped it into the oil pot, and scooped up all the meatballs.

The colander was filled with round meatballs, steaming with a hint of heat, and the aroma of meat instantly filled the room.

Rina Koike stared at the large colander in Chen'er's hand concisely, watching as the colander gently tossed over the oil pot, and then drained a lot of oil and dripped it back into the oil pot.

I don't know if Chen Er's technique is too unique, but Rina Koike always feels that the aroma of this meatball is particularly sufficient.

The meat was full of aroma, like a large piece of fried golden and tender meat chops in front of her eyes, and the aroma desperately drilled into her nostrils.

It's a completely different feeling from Shimakuni Maruko.

Island people also like to eat meatballs, but few island meatballs are made directly from meat.

The most common meatballs in the island country are sweet glutinous rice balls and fish balls.

Compared with the meatballs that Chen Er is making now, the meatballs often eaten by island people taste much lighter. This may have something to do with the habit of island people who don't like to put too much oil and condiments in their meals.

People on the island usually prefer raw or cold food. Hot food is mostly noodles or some simple fried food.

Chen Er put the fried meatballs on the side, cleaned the pot again, and then made the braised meatballs.

The people of the island country almost do not eat stir-fried vegetables, let alone any food such as braised dishes.

Rina Koike, who was on the side, seemed to be very curious about the cooking method of braised dishes.

She stared at the movements of Chen Er's hand tightly, as if she was reluctant to blink her eyes.

Chen Er's knife skills are very good, and he can cut the ingredients he needs, such as green onions, ginger and garlic, in a few clicks.

Then pour the appropriate oil into the pot, and when you smell the oil, quickly put the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic into it and stir-fry.

Chen Er likes this smell very much, "When cooking, the most fragrant taste is the smell of green onions, ginger and garlic when they are stir-fried in a pan of oil!" ”

Chen Er has always believed that the most primitive aroma in the world is this aroma.

Who invented this method of stir-frying, Chen Er felt that it was necessary to take it out and thank it.

After stir-frying the green onion, ginger and garlic to bring out the aroma, cooking wine, soy sauce, chicken broth.

Stir-fry a few more times with a spatula to allow the flavors to blend, then add the sugar. After boiling, put in the nine seeds and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes.

The meatballs in the pot were still boiling, so Chen Er took out some red peppers, washed them, cut them into small pieces, and put in the peppers after ten minutes. Pour some more starch juice and stir-fry a few times with a spatula, and the meatballs in the pot can be turned off after the juice is reduced.

Chen Er clapped his hands and said, "The braised meatballs I made today are a little different from the usual ones. ”

He spreads the plate with fresh maple leaves, and then carefully spreads the braised meatballs, but he is not in a hurry to pour the remaining soup in the pot.

Instead, he took out a small bowl of maple dew that had just not been finished.

Scoop a spoonful and sprinkle evenly over the meatballs, and finally pour the remaining soup from the pot.

Chen Er lowered his head slightly, and he smelled the faint aroma of maple dew accompanied by the fragrance of braised meatballs rushing towards him.
