Chapter 59: Pork ribs with soy sauce
The Heavenly Master and Hong Yi are exchanging what is the other side of Buddhism and what is the ascension and transcendence of Taoism, and some of them are mysterious and mysterious, which are very difficult for Hong Yi to understand, not to mention that Li Luo is used to doing it, not thinking about it.
Xiao Li, who was quite bored, happened to smell the dishes being made in Zhao Youqian's kitchen, walked forward curiously, and asked in a low voice across the table.
"Manager, what are you doing here?"
The strange fragrance seemed to be something that Li Luo had never smelled before, and he looked at it, the golden grease in the small wok, and some black particles were soaked in the small fire.
"Beans?"
Li Luo naturally recognized what those were, the black round inconspicuous things were dried beans that had been exposed to the sun and developed.
"This taste... Is it dried natto? ”
Sniffing the smell in the air carefully, Li Luo had obviously practiced some kung fu now, and was able to describe the taste he tasted.
When Zhao Youqian heard his words, he was also a little surprised, because the dried natto that Li Luo said was really very similar to the things he used.
It's just that the things he uses are marinated for a longer time and have different flavors.
This inconspicuous black bean is a seasoning used in many cuisines in Yaozhou, tempeh!
This is a special kind of dried black beans, after washing, boiling and soaking, then stuffing, fermentation and sun drying and other processes to make the seasoning, has a very strong taste, added to a variety of dishes will have a very attractive flavor, whether it is fried, steamed and fried are extremely high-quality ingredients.
"The method is somewhat similar, but there are still some different tastes, you can taste it later, I am going to make two ribs, and I can just bring you some back, just heat it with a pot when you want to eat, with some boiled vegetables, it is a good meal!"
Zhao Youqian hasn't forgotten the little guy Li Luo wants to take care of, but he doesn't know if the little guy who has been supplemented with his nutrition is still like the original world, and his brain is not fully developed...
"Two home-cooked steamed pork ribs are just right for Heavenly Master and Hong Yi to eat today, do you want to learn it?"
turned off the heat of the fried tempeh and let the pot and the fat tempeh cool, and chuckled at Li Luo, obviously seeing his willingness to learn, Zhao Youqian didn't mind Li Luo studying, as for what level he could learn, it was hard to say.
After all, Zhao Youqian has not spread out to introduce the practice, and the customers who can really learn a little bit have not seen it yet...
Especially the owner of Pegasus Ranch, who is known as a foodie, Miss Shang Xiuxun.
No one thought that this food-loving gourmand who could chat with Hong Qigong would be really untalented in cooking.
Even after saying it a few times, it was possible to mix salt and sugar.
also completely made Zhao Youqian give up the meaning of teaching this eldest lady, no matter how strong her own wishes were, she would not be allowed to step into the kitchen again.
But Li Luo is different, at least he can barbecue meat and cook some simple meals, so Zhao Youqian doesn't mind teaching him to make some simple dishes, which can be regarded as laying some guarantees for his future life.
After all, he is not living alone now.
The kid who was younger than him was a troublemaker!
...
"Look closely, as long as you are skilled, it is not difficult for you to be skilled... What's more, this dish doesn't require any knife work..."
Zhao Youqian's teaching to Li Luo is not the beginning of the foundation, after all, there are only two magic weapons of knife work and seasoning in steamed vegetables, and there are naturally requirements for heat and the like, but for people who just want to make a meal, this requirement becomes less important when there is a timekeeping method.
Cut the ribs into knuckle-sized pieces and soak them in water for half an hour to remove the blood.
"This step is the key to whether the pork ribs are tender and odorless."
"No matter how fresh the pork ribs are, they all need to go through this step, it's just a matter of time."
"If it's frozen ribs, then it's going to take forty minutes, and the water is changed every twenty minutes."
Li Luo listened carefully to the small details of Professor Zhao Youqian, and these pretreatments are the most critical steps for steamed dishes.
"Fresh pork ribs only need to be soaked in water for half an hour, or even fifteen minutes..."
"And I still recommend using fresh pork ribs, frozen pork ribs at home, even if the steps are exactly the same, the steamed pork ribs are a little loose and tender after the mouth, rather than the fresh pork ribs after steaming to the time, the entrance has a soft feeling of tenderness, which is two tastes that can be compared immediately after tasting it!"
Perhaps it was Zhao Youqian's voice teaching Li Luo that attracted the attention of others, and even the Heavenly Master and Hong Yi were also attracted to attention.
Hong Yi, who studied and paid attention to the knowledge of 'gentleman and cooking', had already put this sentence in the back of his mind after coming to the Zhutian Restaurant.
Squeeze the ribs dry and place them in a bowl for later use.
Zhao Youqian began to cut ginger and garlic, chili peppers, garlic was flattened and peeled and chopped into minced pieces, ginger was cut into minced pieces, and then millet chili peppers were also cut into small red circles.
"It depends on whether you add it or not, but my taste is a little more."
While putting these chopped ingredients into the pork rib bowl, Zhao Youqian fished out the tempeh that had been soaked and fried over low heat.
The tempeh, which has been off the heat for a while, shows a slightly crispy appearance at this time, and it is hard.
A large number of tempeh were placed on the cutting board, and Zhao Youqian grabbed the back of the kitchen knife with one hand and pressed the front end of the kitchen knife with the other, and chopped the tempeh by pressing and cutting at the same time.
'Click-click'
The crispy sound comes out as if you were cutting chicken cutlets, and you don't need to chop them too finely, just put them directly into the rib bowl after the tempeh has been cut two or three times.
At this point, it can be said that most of this Yaozhou home-style 'soy sauce pork ribs' has been completed!
All that's left is to season and stir well.
One teaspoon of minced ginger, two teaspoons of minced garlic, two teaspoons of tempeh with one and a half pounds of pork ribs, plus one and a half teaspoons of light soy sauce, one teaspoon of white pepper, and one teaspoon of cooking wine.
Then add a teaspoon of oyster sauce, half a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of sugar, and the flavor of the marinated pork ribs is all in the bowl.
"One thing to note is that half a teaspoon of sugar is critical!"
When Zhao Youqian told Li Luo about the ratio, he also noticed the Heavenly Master and Hong Yi who were looking at him, but he didn't mind that others would come to learn together.
"Because after the tempeh is soaked and fried, it will bring some flavor in the end, and the sugar is to synthesize this taste, so that the flavor of the tempeh will not be so strong."
"Moreover, after all your seasonings are placed, stir well, and finally sprinkle some cornstarch and stir, be sure to add the oil soaked in fried tempeh, stir it again and steam it directly in the pot."
"It's best not to take more than five to ten minutes during this period!"
This made Li Luo a little surprised, generally speaking, isn't the longer the marinated time, the more flavorful the pork ribs and the like?
