Chapter 214: Pork belly tasteless
The root of the folded ear is also called Houttuynia cordata.
Botanically speaking, this is a volcanic plant body, its entire rhizome grows close to the surface, the roots are snow-white, and the dark red leaves have clear lines.
Origami root is a medicinal herb in many places, and only in the southwest area, it is eaten as a vegetable.
Most of the local salads in Rongzhou are used for cold salad.
Add a little cooked oil chili, some soy sauce vinegar or something, and get some garlic millet spicy, it is very crispy and healthy, and the sound of chewing in the mouth is very refreshing.
The locals of Rongzhou are very fond of this taste, but outsiders are very repulsive to this way of eating.
One side of the water feeds the other side.
Each place has its own eating habits, the tradition of Rongzhou people eating the root of the ear has continued for several generations, this taste has been deeply rooted in the bones, but whenever the root of the root grows in the season, it seems that there is something missing if you don't eat.
In addition to cold salad, there is also a way to make soup.
Take the rhizome of the folded ear root and stew the soup with the pig's big bones, and the resulting pot of soup is milky white, stewed and rotten folded ear rhizome, and the taste in the mouth is soft and smooth, and the taste is like boiled taro.
In the milky white soup, in addition to the oily aroma of pork bones, there is also a very strong fragrance of folded ear roots.
That soup, drink it in the mouth is cool, enter the stomach to warm the stomach, and diuretic and detoxify, after eating too much spicy food on the fire, come to a bowl of pork bone soup with folded ear root, it is a very good choice.
The stew soup is generally used, and the rhizomes of the folded ear root are not afraid to boil, and the taste is soft when stewed.
But Zhen Hui held it, and it was the first time he saw someone soaking the leaves of the folded ear root in the piping hot.
The soup boiling in the casserole quickly scalded the leaves of the folded ear roots.
After a large handful of folded ear root leaves were put into the pot, the originally boiling casserole suddenly calmed down, and the unique taste of Houttuynia cordata permeated the air, taking a deep breath, Zhen Hui felt refreshed.
For the people of Rongzhou, the root of the folded ear has such an effect.
It's just that the leaves of the ears are broken in the boiling soup, which is a very strange thing.
The waitress hurriedly stepped forward, picked up a spoon and stirred the folded ear root leaves in the soup pot, and scooped a bowl of soup for Zhen Hui.
Mung bean pork belly soup with folded ear root leaves.
This kind of collocation is very wonderful, after the pork belly is stewed, the soup is milky white, and the stewed mung beans are like bean paste floating on the soup noodles, sandwiched with green folded ear roots, and it looks quite appetizing.
Zhen Hui gently hooked the soup noodles with a spoon a few times.
The aroma of the folded ear root is very strong, and after eating a bite of the folded ear root leaves, compared with the soft taste of the root of the folded ear root stewed, it is very smooth and slightly sour.
This is the first time Zhen Huizhi has eaten scalded folded ear root leaves.
The taste was special, not unpleasant, but it wasn't the one he was used to.
Zhen Hui said to the camera: "You just watch me eat now, you can't smell this taste, how to say it, this eating should be very relieving of the heat, if it is a person from Yangcheng, you may prefer to eat this thing, for me, if I choose cold salad and soup, I must choose the former!" ”
"I'm used to eating the roots of my ears, so I feel that it's still decent, if it's a friend from other places who comes to taste, you still have to be cautious, after all, this thing, some of my friends from other places, is really hard to swallow."
As he spoke, he scooped up the milky white soup:
"Mung bean pork belly soup, a holy product to cool off in summer. I don't know if you've ever drunk it? ”
As he spoke, he poured the soup down again, and picked up his camera to give a close-up of the soup.
In the shot, the soup is as white as milk, which is the characteristic of pork belly soup. Because the unique glutamate protein in pork belly can be perfectly decomposed in high-temperature boiling.
In addition, the mung beans are boiled to a thin bara, so that the soup color will have such a color.
"Now pork belly seems to be more expensive than the price of meat, I remember when I was a child, pork belly was very cheap, sometimes we didn't even need money, at that time we went to the pig killer where to get pork belly, one or two cents, you can get a big piece."
"My mother likes to use pork belly for cold dressing, boil it and put some sesame oil or something, not to mention the taste, the pork belly has two layers, the meat is crispy, and the taste is completely different from the meat."
Zhen Huizhi is telling the truth, people at that time didn't like to eat offal very much.
As a result, some pork belly, sewerage, pork loin, etc., are quite cheap. Now the situation is two different things, the standard of living is better, and people find that offal can be made into many good dishes.
Therefore, the selling price is also higher than the sesame flowering.
Last weekend, Zhen Huizhi was cooking at home, went to the market for a walk, and found that the price of pork belly was more expensive than pork, and he couldn't help but sigh, it was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
It's the same with people, even pork belly.
The pork belly is delicious and delicious, and the texture is elastic. But because of this characteristic, some elderly people can't eat it.
But anyone who can chew pork belly is quite fond of this taste, pork belly also has the effect of warming and nourishing the stomach, and many people with weak and cold bodies like to stew pork belly soup to maintain health.
People who don't maintain health will also like the taste of pork belly.
It's a great pleasure to have a drink and get together with friends.
Everyone likes to eat pork belly, one pig, only one pork belly.
Supply exceeds demand, so this price will skyrocket.
Zhen Huizhi likes to eat pork belly, cold salad, mixed with peanuts, and then some celery and onions mixed together, a mouthful of food and a sip of wine.
Of course, pork belly soup is also his favorite.
In the winter, friends sit around the fire, an old hen stews soup, with pork belly, and drinks a bowl of soup, which is warm all winter.
Zhen Hui stared at the pork belly soup in front of him.
He sensed that the taste would not disappoint him, so he blew lightly into the spoon.
The pork belly ran down the soup and he suddenly wrinkled
Brow.
No taste!
How can there be no taste!?
Zhen Huizhi was surprised that the pork belly soup made in the Rongzhou Hotel had no taste.
At first, he thought that he had just eaten the fish sauce and soaked rice, and the smell must be too strong to cover the taste of the pork belly soup, so he quickly took another sip of lemonade and pressed it.
When he picked up the bowl of soup for the second time and took a sip, Zhen Huizhi finally understood.
It's not my own problem, it's that there is no problem with this soup at all.
After hearing this, the waitress on the side said, "It's impossible for our chef to forget to put it, you can taste it again and see if it's ......."
Zhen Hui raised his eyebrows:
"I said it's tasteless, not salty!"
