Chapter 60 Soy Sauce and Chop Pepper
As if seeing Li Luo's question, Zhao Youqian couldn't help but shake his head, in fact, the reason is very simple, but no one thinks about it.
"Is it water? To keep the meat hydrated? ”
At this moment, Hong Yi's voice sounded, Li Luo didn't figure out the problem, he saw it, no wonder he became the king of all sons in his own world, the only one who touched the other side.
Just this ability to touch and bypass, even if it crosses what he is good at, is still undoubtedly revealed.
has eaten Zhao Youqian's dishes several times, and Hong Yi can see something just by looking at it.
Zhao Youqian couldn't help but give him an approving look and nodded.
"Yes, no matter how you marinate it, when you marinate the flavor, you also lose the juice of the meat itself, and you can only use other means, such as drawing water, coating starch, or adding something to soften the flesh fiber, to make the texture soft."
"In fact, one thing can be done very simply, the marinating time is shortened, and the salt put in it is put behind as much as possible, because once the salt is put in, it is destroying the cell wall of the food, and the water loss begins to accelerate."
Li Luo finally nodded clearly when he heard this.
"As for what you're worried about..."
Zhao Youqian's words changed, and he first put the soy sauce pork ribs he prepared in his hand into the steamer of SAIC, and then continued to explain.
"Don't forget, when steaming, it is also a process of flavoring, who said that when the ingredients are ripe, they can't be flavored?"
"Keeping the meat tender is not contradictory to making the ingredients taste good."
"Besides, I finally added some oil from fried tempeh, and I also sealed the ribs with the last layer of water-retaining mask, which can also make the aroma of tempeh better integrated into the ribs."
Seeing the steaming water vapor coming out of the pot, it only took twenty-five minutes to finish, Zhao Youqian turned his head and continued to prepare another dish.
"This is called tempeh and pepper sauce, and it's not just steamed pork ribs."
"Potatoes, enoki mushrooms, tofu, pork, and fish can all be steamed with this."
Hearing this name, the Heavenly Master's eyes lit up.
"Chopped pepper sauce, there are a lot of them in Longhu Mountain!"
Longhu Mountain, located in Jiangxi, is not far from Hunan and Hubei, and naturally there is also the custom of eating chopped peppers.
"You can learn this old way, and then let the disciples and grandchildren do more..."
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Master, Zhao Youqian didn't hold back, and couldn't help complaining.
"I thought that Heavenly Master would do it yourself, but it turned out that I learned to teach my apprentices..."
When Zhao Youqian said this, the Heavenly Master was not angry at all, but touched his white beard.
"Hahaha, Lao Dao has been most proud of accepting so many apprentices for so many years, and now the master has something to do, don't let the apprentices make a move, do you still do it yourself?"
The joke is naturally just a matter of saying two sentences, Zhao Youqian looked at the old heavenly master and laughed for a while, and then directly started to do it.
Put some cooking wine, light soy sauce, and pepper on the pork ribs that have been soaked in water before, and then set them aside.
Ginger and garlic minced, and then it is Zhao Youqian's own chopped pepper sauce, the best Qixing pepper, air dried, chopped, put salt, white wine, minced garlic, Sichuan pepper, pickled and sealed, put in a cool place for a month before eating.
Whether it is used with porridge, noodles, noodles, or directly fried rice and stir-fried vegetables, it is a very good taste.
And when Zhao Youqian makes chopped pepper sauce, he habitually puts a little less salt, so that the chopped pepper sauce will have a sour taste after pickling, and it is best to use it as a seasoning for stir-frying.
However, even if there is less salt, the taste of chopped pepper sauce is also very salty, so when marinating the ribs, Zhao Youqian specially did not put salt.
"If the pepper is too salty, or too spicy..."
Zhao Youqian scooped a large frying spoon of chopped peppers, then looked at the few people who were watching him, and spoke quite solemnly.
"You can rinse it with water first, and then continue with the next step, this is my own chopped pepper sauce so I know the saltiness, so I don't have to do this step."
"By the way, Hong Yi, you can eat spicy, right?"
Hearing Zhao Youqian's inquiry, Hong Yi was visibly stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
"Although Yi is a concubine, he has also tasted these spices from the Western Region of Huoluo."
"This thing is also very popular in Daqian..."
Hearing this, Zhao Youqian obviously showed an interesting look.
"So, if I let you take some chili peppers out to sell, can you make a lot of money?"
I didn't expect Zhao Youqian to think of this aspect, Hong Yi was asked for a while and fell into deep thought, Zhao Youqian saw him and began to think, didn't bother him, and continued the operation in hand.
Heat the oil in the wok without too much, just enough to soak the bottom of the pan and add a tablespoon of the amount.
"Start with tempeh, the amount should not be too small, otherwise the flavor of the chopped pepper is too strong, and the umami of the ribs will also be overshadowed, and the same strong flavor must be used to balance the taste of the chopped pepper!"
A tablespoon of dried tempeh is placed in the pan with just a slight rinse of the surface.
"Whoa!"
The sound of hot oil splashing with moisture is still so intense and beautiful.
Zhao Youqian kept scattering the tempeh with one hand, so that they could enjoy the baptism of hot oil evenly.
When the oil temperature begins to slowly rise to the point where the aroma of tempeh comes out, the ginger and garlic are minced, and soon a ginger and garlic aroma with tempeh wafts out.
It can be said that this smell alone has already made Li Luo and the Heavenly Master sure that the taste of this tempeh chopped pepper sauce is absolutely first-class!
When the flavor of ginger and garlic comes out, and it is not too hot to fry, a large stir-fry spoon of chopped pepper sauce with some juice is put into the hot pot together.
Almost instantaneously touched, the flames rose, and the choking smell of chili peppers began to spread in the Heavenly Pavilion.
Even Hong Yi, who was still thinking about things, couldn't help but blushed after inhaling, and suddenly began to cough violently.
"Ahem, ahem, this, this..."
However, Hong Yi was not as close as Li Luo, and Li Luo, who took a big puff of choking smoke, coughed desperately as if he was about to suffocate.
On the contrary, the old heavenly master is worthy of being a native of Jiangxi, and he is sweet to this kind of spiciness, and he also shows a look of enjoyment, which shows his difference at once.
"Don't worry... It's just spicy, just wait until it's done! ”
Zhao Youqian looked at Li Luo and Hong Yi with a hint of fear for chopping pepper sauce, and couldn't help but explain.
Then he didn't stop, he sprinkled a teaspoon of sugar and light soy sauce and half a teaspoon of oyster sauce, and then waited for the tempeh chopped pepper sauce in the wok to condense a little and release all kinds of flavors.
In particular, the chopped pepper juice he specially added to it was drained, and he saw that a layer of red oil floated on the surface of the chopped pepper sauce in the pot, so he turned off the heat and started the pot.
At this time, the original choking has also dissipated, and only a tempting appetite is left in the Heavenly Pavilion, which makes people continue to secrete the aroma of saliva!
