Chapter 33: Belly Burn

Looking at Cai Youyou's sparkling eyes, Mo Xun smiled.

When he was making a bento for someone, a prose poem written by a poet of unknown age suddenly popped up in his mind:

Once in a hurry, we missed out on how many pure deliciousness.

It is better to listen to the stomach with your heart, and put food and love into your lunchbox.

"You don't want to try my craft? This one goes well with sliced bread, and it's just right. Mo Xun said.

Naturally thawed, the finest beef brisket is tempting with the fibers scattered with the back of a knife, marinated in a carefully prepared sauce, carefully fried in oil, and seasoned with salt and pepper.

Stir-fry the onions until fragrant, stir-fry the fried meat and marinated meat, and finally add the chopped tomatoes, and wait until the soup is rich and bright red, and you're done.

Cai Youyou savored the delicious food in his hands.

The soup in this dish is not very large, but it just enough to wrap all the pieces of fried beef, lock in the moisture of the beef, and make each piece of meat extraordinarily tender and juicy.

The aroma of beef, the sweetness and sourness of tomatoes, the sweet and spicy onions, the spicy flavor of black pepper, and the other seasonings in the sauce are all brought out in such a wonderful combination.

Far from being cluttered, these rich flavors blend together, influence each other, and complement each other, resulting in a unique and attractive flavor.

"How? The taste is okay, right? Looking at Cai Youyou, whose index finger was moving, Mo Xun's face showed a satisfied smile.

Cai Youyou nodded, smashing the taste on the tip of his tongue: "Let me guess what's in the sauce." ”

"Well, the old soy sauce, and the sea salt, and the lemon juice and ginger...... And ......"

She savored the tempting dish and frowned.

There seems to be another ingredient that gives this dish a unique soul.

What is it?

The smell that seemed to be untangled around the tip of her tongue seemed to be in her mind, but because the time was so far apart, she couldn't say the name that was on her lips.

The corners of Mo Xun's mouth hooked deeply: "It's wine." It is a special liquor made by my sister using an ancient handmade method, adding a variety of spices such as grass fruit and cinnamon. ”

Because Mo Xun's skills are superb and the heat is just right, this dish is infused with the aroma of wine, but there is no strong wine flavor. It's a taste that's hard for the average person to taste.

Although Cai Youyou didn't think of the word "wine" for a while, he was still full of affection for this little girl who could taste the uniqueness of this dish.

Xiao Cai said while thinking: "My father's notes recorded that in Chinese cuisine, there is an ancient dish called belly burning. The beef fried with tomatoes, onions and black pepper you cook is similar to the legendary brisket grill, except that the dish is said to be beef brisket cooked with salt and soy sauce. And you use tomatoes and onions, as well as sauces for marinating meat, instead of soy sauce. ”

"Belly burning?!" Mo Xun muttered, looking at Cai Youyou with burning eyes.

In addition to finding natural ingredients and cooking delicious dishes, he has always been committed to reviving ancient Chinese cuisine, always hoping that what he does will awaken people's taste buds and arouse their interest in Chinese cuisine.
