Chapter 918: Grilled Duck Meat and Okra Steamed Eggs
After the duck breast is cleaned, sprinkle the combined spices prepared with salt, cumin, nine-layer tower, black pepper, thyme, and cumin powder evenly on both sides of the duck breast, and rub it well with your hands to facilitate the flavor.
Make a marinade with rice wine and honey, soak the duck breast sprinkled with spices, and marinate for at least three hours.
After the duck meat is marinated, heat the pan, put the skin of the duck breast downward, put it in the pan and fry it, in the process, the duck meat should be tightly pressed, and the excess fat should be forced out, and the duck breast should be removed.
Put the sauce used for marinating duck meat into a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, cook over low heat until viscous, spread the sauce evenly on top of the duck, sprinkle the secret spice powder prepared in advance on the duck meat, preheat the oven, put the duck breast and duck skin side up, put it in a baking tray wrapped in tin foil, and bake it at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Heat the liquid mixture of salt, soy sauce, red wine and a small amount of honey in a small pot until thick, and the honey will caramelize slightly to make a sauce.
Remove the grilled duck breast, cut it into small pieces and drizzle it with a sauce made with honey and red wine.
This dish is ruddy and beautiful, with a crispy roasted duck breast on the outside, a tender and sweet meat, and a rich sauce that will make you feel aftertaste.
An Yueru ate two pieces of duck meat. She still looked expressionless, her eyes were a little hollow, hidden under the tablecloth, and her fingers moved slightly, not visible to anyone.
The third dish that Cai Youyou specially cooked for An Yueru was also a dish that her mother used to make for her when she was a child, okra steamed eggs.
An ordinary steamed egg is dyed with a childlike color because of the addition of okra that has been cut into thin slices and looks like little green stars.
Okra is not only added to add points to the appearance of the dish.
The freshness and tenderness of the eggs go well with the freshness of the okra.
An Yueru ate slowly, and Old Man An also found when An Yueru was eating that there was something else in the okra steamed egg!
There seem to be small particles inside the steamed eggs!
Old man An recalled Cai Youyou's actions when he was cooking this dish in the kitchen, and he really couldn't hold back, so he ran to the table, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of steamed eggs into his mouth, only to find that there were actually thin squid grains cut into the inside of the steamed eggs, as well as small grains cut into shrimp!
When Cai Youyou was young, her mother often cooked such okra steamed eggs for her.
The tender steamed eggs are filled with shrimp and squid cubes, not only to enrich the taste of the dishes, but also to supplement protein and calcium for children, so that children can obtain more comprehensive and balanced nutrition, so that they can grow up healthily.
Old Man An tasted a spoonful of steamed eggs, ate another piece of duck meat, drank a bowl of pearl fish ball soup, and tasted all the eight dishes cooked by Cai Youyou, couldn't help nodding and shaking his head again.
It is undeniable that the taste of these dishes is indeed very good, and it can be seen that the child has put a lot of thought into cooking these dishes. However, Mr. An still felt that he still couldn't agree with the cooking techniques used by Cai Youyou, and the dishes she made that looked bells and whistles and were different from traditional dishes.
