Chapter Twenty-Nine: The soup is as clear as water, and the taste is like elixir
The overlord chicken that had just been blanched in the pot showed a completely different posture from the food world, and the rainbow-colored brilliance escaped from the pot, which also made Zhao Youqian's face show a little surprise.
However, he quickly calmed down, ignoring the rainbow light, but stirring the water in the pot, and after noticing that the taste and aroma of the overlord chicken had not changed, he almost guessed the reason for the appearance of this light.
'It's the power of Asgard! ’
'How long have you been keeping it here, and you've already absorbed so much?' ’
With a hint of essence in his eyes, Zhao Youqian then reined in and continued to let the soup in the pot boil.
It's as if everything is normal.
Odin and Frigga glanced at each other, they didn't know about Zhao Youqian's cooking, but they vaguely heard about something like a cooking vision, and they were still a little surprised to see it with their own eyes this time.
But Thor is different, after patiently listening to his parents' explanations, he roughly understands why Zhao Youqian's dish is so complicated, and the key is to extend the life of his parents, which makes him quite happy.
After all, even the gods have a dying day, and he doesn't care about the rotation of the throne, but it is a real good thing that his father and mother can live for a while longer.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Zhao Youqian's pot shining brightly.
"My brother, what are you doing here? Why is there this light? It's like the color of a rainbow bridge. ”
said his opinion aggressively, but it made Odin's expression move, as if he saw something.
Zhao Youqian didn't expect Thor to be such a big boss, but instead told the real situation.
"That brilliance is the power of Asgard, these two dream ingredients have been domesticated in Asgard for a period of time, and have absorbed a lot of Asgardian power, when cooking, slowly attracting with vitality, it is to combine the power of Asgard with the vitality of the ingredients themselves, which can better nourish the body and soul."
After that, the time for blanching is almost the same, and Zhao Youqian didn't delay much, and directly fished out the whole overlord chicken with a big colander.
At this time, the blanched soup was still full of rainbow light, and there was a faint enticing aroma of chicken fat, although it had been abandoned by Zhao Youqian, it was already a soup with a unique flavor.
Zhao Youqian didn't waste anything, he took out all the green onions and ginger in it, and cooked a vegetable soup with some local ingredients in Asgard, such as glorious mushrooms, wild vegetables and the like, anyway, with the god of fire watching from the side, there would be no problem with one more stove.
Just treated the god of fire as a tool man, Zhao Youqian didn't feel at ease at all, after all, he did this, and in the end he didn't enter the mouth of the gods of Asgard?
After blanching the finished Bawang chicken, then start another pot, or boil the water first, then add green onion and ginger, white peppercorns, and a few slices of astragalus, angelica, and then no other things are needed, put the whole chicken in, and then simmer at a constant temperature for six hours, when the semi-finished stock is completed.
After explaining the temperature to the god of fire, Zhao Youqian put the two soup pots away, and then it was time to deal with the ham and black pig.
Naturally possessed by the finest taste of ham, the black pork with ham exudes an attractive aroma of fat on all parts of the body, especially as the front and hind legs of the limbs. Fast-eyed reading
It only needs to be slaughtered on the spot and bled out, and after a little time, the four legs of the black pig will become the most beautiful ham, even the carefully smoked and cooked Iberian black pig ham is much inferior.
The fruity aroma and aromatic flavor formed by long-term consumption of excellent plants and wild fruits will never be forgotten once you taste it.
The middle ground with more abundant food cells, even ordinary plants and trees contain a lot of food cells, which also makes this high-quality dream ingredient have a unique flavor, even better than those bred in captivity in the known world.
It can be said that Zhao Youqian has just started to use the knife on this ham black pig, and the aroma that wafts out has already made many of the Asgardian gods present secretly swallow their saliva.
Those gods who have tasted Zhao Youqian's food are even more unbearable, and their eyes are full of enthusiasm, so they hope that Zhao Youqian can leave some leftovers to satisfy their hunger.
You must know that Zhao Youqian has shown his cooking skills to the God of Food of Asgard and his attendants several times, and the best dishes they can restore so far are only about forty percent of the level.
Thinking that Zhao Youqian would be leaving soon, how could these gods of Asgard not want to taste his cuisine a few more times?
First of all, the hind legs were removed and continued to be placed on the ham rack, Zhao Youqian knew only by the faint aroma that the essence of this ham and wild boar had not been fully released, and if it could be dried for a few more hours, the flavor would become more and more intense.
There is no need to encapsulate anything, just hang it like this, and slowly let the air communicate with those fragrant molecules in the meat, oxidize, and you can secrete more umami amino acids.
The rest of the pig's head and pork belly and other parts, Zhao Youqian also cut them off, and he can make some dishes later, and the remaining loin, ribs and backbone parts are the ingredients he needs.
The wild vegetable mushroom vegetable soup stewed in blanched chicken broth, the pure overlord chicken soup, and the soup that is now boiled in the suitable part of the ham and black pig for stewing, this is the base soup that Zhao Youqian wants to make this time!
It can be said that the wild vegetable mushroom soup is not only what he thought about temporarily, but the wild vegetable mushroom was originally part of the umami soup base, and it was not particularly temporary.
During this time, he followed Thor to study the local ingredients of Asgard, and these wild vegetables and mushrooms were the best he had mastered, and the soup base added to the porridge at this time was not very abrupt.
The use of ham and black pig for stew can be said to be deliberate by Zhao Youqian, and this base soup will also be the only source of saltiness in the porridge soup.
Natural consumption of a large amount of mineral salt in the body into the effect of smoking and curing, ham black pig this ingredient is the most special this, its ingredients saltiness is just right, and there is no general smoked ham dead salty problem, according to reality, is the ideal best natural salt.
Using this ingredient to boil the soup, and finally seasoning it with it, is Zhao Youqian's ideal integration!
There is no need to blanch or anything, Zhao Youqian has already checked the ingredients, and the bloodletting in the early stage is very good, after a little wiping and washing, you can put it directly into the boiling water.
You don't even need to add anything like green onion and ginger that might spoil the flavor of the soup, just add a little white peppercorn to remove the smell, and you can boil it.
According to Zhao Youqian's imagination, after the three soups constructed in this way are blended, they can present the effect of soup as clear as water and taste like agar syrup.
It is one of the two most ideal realms of dashi.
The soup is clear and flavorful!
