Chapter 295: Making a Dragon Jumping Over the Wall Yourself
"Since we are going to make dishes, how should we divide the labor? Meow? ”
Wen Long looked at the double knives in his hand, and then said; "Since we're going to cook together, then Uncle Ben and I'll be in charge of chopping vegetables, meow!"
"Begonias can help wash vegetables and wash rice." Begonia also said.
"Then I'll be in charge of eating...... Oh no, it's cooking! Catherine rolled up her cuffs and said, "But what are you going to do?" ”
"Hmm...... Let Uncle Ben think about it......" Wen Long touched his beard, thought for a while, and then said, "Just do the dragon jumping over the wall as I said before, Uncle Ben also thinks that it tastes the best...... Meow. ”
In addition to Wenlong really thinking that the taste of "Dragon Jumping Over the Wall" is very good, Wenlong also thinks that cooking at home is much more convenient than in the wild, if it is in the wild, it is almost a relatively simple cooking method such as barbecue or hot pot. And only at home, when all kinds of spices and cooking utensils are complete, can you have the conditions to make delicious food like "dragon jumping over the wall".
So Wenlong took advantage of this opportunity and proposed to do the "dragon jumping over the wall" that he usually has no chance to do in the wild.
"Okay, it's just that the dragon meat in our hands seems to be a little less varied, lacking the meat of the female fire dragon and the male fire dragon, but if it is a little simplified, it should be a problem to make a simple version." Catherine nodded as well
"Then let's try it, our homemade cat rice, meow!"
According to the previous division of labor, Haitang washed and prepared the ingredients and ingredients of various dragon meat according to the amount Catherine said, and then handed them over to Wenlong.
However, unlike what ordinary people do, Begonia throws those ingredients directly to Wenlong.
"Then it's my turn. Let's see Uncle Ben's unparalleled knife skills in the world. Meow! ”
And Wenlong didn't pick it up with his hands. Directly swinging the double knives, in mid-air, the dragon meat materials were cut into two-centimeter-square pieces according to Catherine's request.
The sliced pieces of meat naturally landed on the cutting board, and when they fell, they were neatly arranged together like falling Tetris, piled up in a pyramid shape.
Then the dragon meat was handed over to Catherine, who directly picked up the cutting board, and then poured the meat pieces on it into a pot of boiling water, removed the blood and scooped it up, which was considered to have completed the first step of the process.
"The water is used to get rid of the fishy smell of the meat and some of the blood...... Now it's time to stir-fry......"
Catherine then stir-fried the soaked pieces of meat in a pan of oil that had been burned to 70 percent.
In the process of stir-frying. Catherine added chopped green onions, ginger, cinnamon, soy sauce, salt, sake, and a thick bone broth made from the thigh bones of the king boar!
The process is not long, and the main purpose is to incorporate the flavors of green onions, ginger, and cinnamon into the ingredients, so that they can be prepared for a slow simmer afterwards.
Catherine then picked out the green onions, ginger, and cinnamon from the pot, and then sorted the other ingredients into plates, and the soup was served in a separate bowl.
"Sister Catherine, why do you want to pick out these green onions, ginger, and cinnamon instead of waiting to be simmered with the food?" Begonia on the side asked with some curiosity.
"Of course it can't be put together." Catherine replied with a smile as she skillfully cooked. "If you simmer for a long time, the green onion will not only lose its original bright green color and turn black and green after a long time, but the taste will also change and become unpalatable...... As for the ginger and cinnamon, if they are simmered together for a long time, it is easy for the flavor of the seasoning to become too strong and rob the flavor of the original ingredients......"
"I see...... Sister Catherine's cooking skills are so good, Begonia also needs to learn! ”
"Haha...... Little Begonia, you just take a good look at it, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask, I will answer! Catherine also said proudly.
"This woman...... Although she is usually very aggressive, when cooking, it can give people the illusion of a good wife and mother...... Meow. Seeing Catherine's busy figure, she had completed the task of cutting vegetables, and Wen Long, who was idle, also thought of it.
Next, Catherine put the stir-fried ingredients into the prepared jar.
Of course, even if you put it down, you have to pay attention to it.
Catherine first put the coarse rock dragon meat and the saloon king's meat into the jar, then added the soup, sealed the jar with freshly picked lotus leaves, put it upside down in a small bowl, and put it on the stove and simmered over a slow fire.
"Huh? Sister Catherine, don't you still have a few kinds of dragon meat in it? Begonia asked suspiciously.
"This is because different types of dragon meat have different meat qualities...... For example, the meat of the Salon King and the meat of the rock dragon are relatively coarse, so they are put in first, because this kind of dragon meat is difficult to stew and takes a long time to simmer...... After waiting for two hours, I will add the more tender meat of the Ornithosaurus, after all, if the meat of the Ornithosaurus is simmered for that long, it is easy to become too soft and loose......"
"Sister Catherine, what about this?" Haitang, whose learning heart was already full, pointed to a plate with dragon meat and said.
"Oh, you said this electric dragon meat, this is going to be put in the last two hours...... Electric dragon meat is characterized by special Q and elasticity, you have eaten it before, does it feel a bit like beef tendon, especially chewy? ”
"Hmm......" Begonia nodded as well.
"So, in order to maintain the unique chewiness and elasticity of the electric dragon meat, it is not advisable to simmer it for too long, two hours is just the right time, just to ensure that the electric dragon meat will not lose its unique elasticity and chewiness, and to ensure that the flavor of the soup is just right to infiltrate into the electric dragon meat...... In this way, when the final product is completed, every ingredient in this jar can be served to the table in the best condition! ”
Catherine says the art of cooking is nothing short of endless.
"Meow a mi, this woman usually feels that her head is not good, but her mind can be delicate to this extent! Meow! Wen Long on the side also secretly marveled in his heart.
Next, Catherine simmered the meat of the rock dragon and the king of Sharon for two hours, as she said, while Catherine kept watch by the stove to control the heat. And Wenlong and Begonia didn't leave, so they stayed with Catherine by the stove. (To be continued.) )
