Chapter 133: Full of Gold and Jade
Boiled pork slices are authentic Sichuan dishes, usually many people's practice is to fry the side dishes in the oil pan first and then put them out for later use, fry the red oil with bean paste, put in the broth and boil the meat slices, and add the side dishes after cooking.
Although there is nothing wrong with this method, Shen Xiangmiao tried many times and carefully compared it and found that if the meat slices were directly cooked in the fried and stewed red oil soup, the taste was always slightly lacking.
The reason for the deficiency is mainly because of some blood water in the meat, which will leave some blood residue in the process of cooking, which is why the blood foam should be removed when making pork ribs, and the blood foam should be skimmed off in the stewed chicken soup, otherwise it will greatly affect the taste and reduce the deliciousness of the dish.
Therefore, when Shen Xiangmiao makes boiled pork slices, he first blanches the thin tender tenderloin slices and soybean sprouts into boiling water, so as to remove the blood foam in the meat slices, remove the beany smell of the soybean sprouts themselves, and blanch the boiling water, which can also better grasp the time and make the meat slices more tender.
Then, as ordinary people do, stir-fry the bean paste until fragrant, put the stewed broth, put the sliced meat, bean sprouts and green vegetables in it, and finally fry the red pepper and rattan pepper until fragrant, and pour the oil into the dish.
In this way, the boiled meat slices with a strong taste, spicy and fragrant, and full of color and flavor are presented in front of people's eyes.
As for this steamed loofah with garlic vermicelli, it is a very refreshing and pleasing dish, the method is simple, and the ingredients used are cheap and easy to obtain, but this dish is better than light and refreshing, because it is an emerald loofah with white vermicelli on the top, and a small piece of red millet pepper on the top, it can be said to be pleasing to the eye.
And the loofah is cool and sweet, has the effect of clearing heat and cooling the blood, after eating the spicy dishes, come to a light and refreshing loofah, not only the taste is excellent, but also can inhibit the situation that it is easy to get hot because of greed and spicy.
Sweet and sour crispy eggplant is fried with freshly picked eggplant, cut into thick strips and wrapped in batter, and then stir-fried with vinegar, sugar, tomato sauce from the portable kitchen, and oil consumption to make a delicious sweet and sour sauce, and the crispy skin of the eggplant is re-cooked.
The whole dish is sweet and sour, and it is appetizing.
The final highlight is the golden hall.
Since it is called a hall full of gold and jade, then there must be gold and jade.
The grains of fresh early corn are peeled off, the color is golden, the chicken breast is diced, and after stir-frying in the pot, it is oily and slippery, and there is a bit of jade moisturizing feeling, with red sharp peppers and green green peppers, all kinds of different colors are blended together, the colors are rich and very bright.
And the corn kernels have a slight fragrance and sweet glutinous, with tender chicken, and then the spicy taste of red peppers, and finally the crispness of green peppers.
The dish of Jinyu Mantang can be said to be worthy of such a name in terms of appearance and taste.
Such a mouth-watering five-course dish was sent to the round table in front of Lu Zexuan by Qiao Dayou, who was desperately swallowing his saliva, and after a while, most of it was surrounded and swept away.
Lu Zexuan's appearance at dinner, compared with the time of dinner, can be said to be as good as it gets, without the reserve of a rich young master, and it is even more delicious from time to time.
Fortunately, compared with noon, the injury on Lu Zexuan's face has been slightly better, and he doesn't look like a pig's head anymore, but he also eats a sweaty sweat beads on his head, which is very philistine.
Occasionally going in to pour tea, he couldn't help but pout when he saw Lu Zexuan's scene.
But when I thought that this was a delicious dish specially made by Shen Xiangmiao, I also felt that it should be so.
Even the person who ran the hall couldn't help but lick his lips, swallowed his saliva when he looked at the fragrant dishes on the table, and even thought in his heart, if Lu Zexuan ate the leftover dishes, would he want to taste it secretly.
However, with a glass of wine and a bite of food, Lu Zexuan was so happy to eat that when he finally had a big burp, the plate was already empty, except for some vegetable soup, there was really no scum left.
After seeing that Lu Zexuan was full of wine and food, with the support of You'an, he staggered out and went down the stairs to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and he was suddenly extremely depressed.
There's really not even a scum left!
The guy who ran the hall looked at the empty and thorough plate, and sighed again, but looking at the soup on it, he was a little greedy, and went down to find a steamed bun, and ate two bites of the soup.
Spicy, very spicy, but it's the kind of fragrant spicy, spicy that you want to be addicted to when you eat it.
The man simply broke the rest of the steamed buns and soaked them in the soup of the boiled pork slices, and ate them in a big gulp, until all the steamed buns and soup were eaten clean, then he wiped his mouth with satisfaction and continued to clean up the plates.
When Lu Zexuan came down from the second floor, he was so drunk that he couldn't even walk and couldn't stand steadily, and his mouth was full of gibberish words, and others couldn't understand it.
But Lu Zexuan, who was drunk like this, didn't forget to give Shen Xiangmiao a reward of five dishes, a total of one hundred taels of silver.
Let You'an give the silver money, Lu Zexuan said with a big tongue: "Shen ...... Miss Shen, do you do ...... The dishes are really delicious! It's delicious! Compare...... The Imperial Kitchen in Bina's Palace...... The cooking is delicious! ”
Even if the Lu family is rich, they are also merchants, where is they qualified to enter the palace to taste the dishes made by the imperial kitchen?
This Lu Zexuan is obviously not lightly drunk.
Looking at Lu Zexuan's stammering and drunken appearance, Shen Xiangmiao smiled slightly and blessed Lu Zexuan: "Thank you Young Master Lu for your appreciation." ”
"Miss Shen, no...... You're welcome, this ...... You deserve it. Wait for this young master...... Master, to ...... It's fast to get to the county seat...... When you're done, come back and eat what you cooked! ”
Lu Zexuan couldn't open his eyes at this moment, but he couldn't talk too much, and he didn't choose what to say.
"Young master, you're drunk." You'an was on the side, trying to support Lu Zexuan, who was full of nonsense.
The people around couldn't help but smile.
The appearance in front of Lu Zexuan was really drunk.
"Young Master Ben is not drunk!" Lu Zexuan shook off You'an's hand and walked forward hobbly, but as soon as he took two steps, his legs fell to the ground with a soft "poof".
"Young Master!" You'an exclaimed, and hurried to help Lu Zexuan, and Qiao Dayou and others also hurried to help.
But seeing that Lu Zexuan was lying on the ground without moving, he snored slightly, smacking his lips from time to time, and muttered: "Eat, it's delicious......"
"Young Master Lu is afraid that he is drunk and falls asleep." Qiao Dayou said, helping Na Youan to carry the drunk Lu Zexuan to the carriage.
