Chapter Thirty-Three: Let's Eat!
As the soup base boils, the golden color becomes more and more attractive, but since it is a hot pot, how can there be only a soup base without ingredients?
In addition to preparing it early in the morning, it has now been put into the base soup and started to prepare the umami bean curd that slowly condenses.
Zhao Youqian also specially made some ingredients with local characteristics of Yaozhou.
For example, crispy meat, such as egg dumplings, and shrimp slips and the like.
Don't look at these things as particularly eye-catching, but when you really go down to the hot pot and enjoy them together, the taste is still very amazing.
However, since it is in the form of a clay pot, there will naturally be an ingredient as the main ingredient in it, and it is not just as simple as shabu-shabu.
This time, Zhao Youqian looked at Olmet's physical problems, and specially selected a special dream ingredient, which he captured from the middle ground last time... Five-color feather overlord chicken!
You must know that this chicken breed unique to unknown regions is a good nourishing product, if the effect is not too violent, it is even better than the black feather black-bone chicken.
Last time, Zhao Youqian almost used this ingredient directly, but the situation of Isayama Huangquan itself is different, and there is a black-feathered black-bone chicken, not to mention.
After Zhao Youqian saw the injuries on Ormet's body, he chose to use this ingredient as the main material.
And the skeleton soup of this ingredient is actually very easy to use, but there will be a problem.
That is, the flavor will be too strong, and it will definitely be able to overpower the flavor of other ingredients.
Therefore, Zhao Youqian did not use the chicken bones of the overlord chicken to make the broth, and the taste of the base soup is only used for the base, not all.
If the priorities are reversed, the whole dish is tantamount to a failure.
Carefully exchange the points out, and the overlord chicken that has been processed is cut and deboned.
This step is not that simple, although the chicken of Overlord Chicken is not as tough compared to the bone, but once the texture of the chicken is destroyed, the overall taste will be a little worse.
So specifically considering this, Zhao Youqian's knife for slicing meat is also used very briskly and thin.
Cut off the bones and skin, and remove the breasts, wings, and thighs.
The excess bones are left behind and can be put in the refrigerator for next use.
Stir together the chicken from the back part and half of the chicken breast, two egg whites, and some crispy bones on the chicken bones, and add some green onion and ginger water, cooking wine, pepper, and salt to taste.
When the meat filling is integrated, it is chicken meatballs, because some crispy bones are added, so you can enjoy the texture of the occasional crispy bones when you taste the soft and tender chicken meatballs.
Flatten the remaining half of the chicken breast, press it by hand, and pull the slices from top to bottom to form a thin slice that allows light to pass through.
This chicken breast fillet is simply marinated with some green onions, ginger water and pepper.
On the other hand, the chicken thighs are cut into finger-thick pieces with the skin and cooked in the broth with the vegetables.
Similar to the way to eat Dongying hot pot, you can already bring a dish that you can taste at the bottom of the pot, and after eating, you can cook other dishes, which is also a way for everyone to enjoy the taste of hot pot for the first time.
Here, the main ingredient chicken has been processed, and the body of the hot pot has been served on the stove and started to preheat.
After a simple minced meat filling, egg dumplings can also be made.
Three points fat and seven points lean meat filling, add green onion and ginger water, a teaspoon of cooking wine, pepper, salt, and if you like the rich taste, you can add diced water chestnuts or bamboo shoots, black fungus and the like.
This time, Zhao Youqian added some black fungus, which can increase the taste, and by the way, the black fungus also has some effect of dredging blood vessels.
The egg mixture is also the old method, after breaking up, filter, add half a teaspoon of cooking wine to remove the smell, and two teaspoons of starch to increase the viscosity, so that the egg skin will be easier to form.
You don't need to use a pot, just a larger spoon with some oil in it, then drizzle a teaspoon of egg wash, shake it a little on the fire, and the egg skin will complete the set.
Then put the minced meat on one side of the egg skin of the spoon, and use a small teaspoon to cover the side with the minced meat.
An egg dumpling is considered complete.
Don't look like it's very troublesome, in fact, it takes less than ten seconds to complete one under Zhao Youqian, and soon a big stack will be piled up.
After all, it's not a few people, but a bunch of big food monsters waiting to be fed.
Zhao Youqian also had to make more things that could be eaten, otherwise if he ate well, there would suddenly be no one to eat, and it would be called a disappointment.
As for the crispy meat, it is even better to make, the best front leg meat, less fat and more lean meat, cut into strips and marinate with peppercorns, salt, cooking wine, green onion and ginger water for half an hour, and then remove the excess ingredients.
Only the clean meat strips are left, add sweet potato flour, as well as egg liquid and water, stir into a batter, and when you pull it up, you can have a continuous line of batter falling down, which is good.
All that's left is frying.
The oil temperature is about 160, and the meat strips wrapped in paste under the roots are fried until they are slightly yellow, and then scooped up, and when all the meat strips are fried, the oil temperature is raised to 180 degrees, and fried again.
It not only removes excess fat, but also makes the crispy meat really crispy and delicious, and not greasy.
These things are quick to make, but the aroma that spreads out is really not small, fortunately, there are cold dishes in the refrigerator, and the braised vegetables are topped, otherwise even Tony. Old acquaintances like Stark couldn't sit still.
After several more complicated dishes were prepared, Zhao Youqian looked at the heat, and the bean curd that had been turned off and smoldered had also taken shape.
"Almost..."
After feeling the bean curd in the golden soup with a spoon, Zhao Youqian nodded.
Then directly use a spoon to cut a large piece of bean curd, divided it into small pieces, and scooped out a lot, the remaining bean curd was pulled to the side of the soup pot, Zhao Youqian began to put egg dumplings, chicken meatballs, and chicken, all into the pot.
Enoki mushrooms, green onions, chrysanthemum, and baby cabbage are added as vegetable parts.
Bring to a slow boil on the stove over low heat and cook.
You must know that at this time, he has not even started to season, but the aroma that makes people want to stop it.
"(╯▽╰) It's so fragrant~~ah..."
Tanjiro showed an intoxicated look, and he had come to the Heavens Pavilion a lot of times, but it was rare to see Zhao Youqian cooking a meal so grandly.
This makes the little one feel as if he has never eaten.
Looking at the kitchen, they were hungry.
Nowadays, as the hot pot on the stove is getting more and more fragrant, everyone's sense of expectation is also increasing.
'Suck, suck...'
Olmet subconsciously wiped the saliva from his mouth before coming back to his senses.
'This kind of food... It's even more powerful than a personality that can control the mind! ’
The visitors from the other world in front of them all have a lot of strength, but for them, it seems that the food in front of them is the most important thing.
This made Ormet look a little surprised, but he was also looking forward to the dishes that would attract so many visitors from different worlds...
What will it smell like?' ’
At this time, Zhao Youqian's nose moved, and he seemed to sense that all the ingredients in the pot had reached the point of perfection.
Finally, he raised his head and looked at the many diners in the small restaurant, and said the words they had been waiting for for a long time.
"It's time to eat!"
