Chapter 138 Dongpo Meat

The restaurant was not close to Lu's Group, and Lu's mother drove for almost an hour before arriving at her destination. As soon as she saw the simple and elegant building in front of her, Lu's mother smiled and hurriedly got out of the car and walked in.

Just past a peak of customer flow, the restaurant is a lot quieter. Xiao Li was leaning on the table and dozing off, when he heard the footsteps of someone walking in. She hurriedly stood up, and her spirit instantly brightened: "Hello, may I ask how many it is!" ”

Mother Jian first glanced around, then smiled kindly at Xiao Li: "Don't bother. I'm here to find your head chef, Lin Xiaoxiao. ”

"Our chef ......" Xiao Li was puzzled, her brain was running at a high speed, in her memory, the manager didn't seem to think of such a well-behaved old lady, "Excuse me, you are our chef's ......"

"Well, that's a long story. Still, I think she'll see me. ”

After Lu Mu finished speaking inscrutablely, Lin Xiaoxiao happened to have just walked out of the back kitchen. The kind old man in front of him was smiling as before, but there seemed to be a few more gray hairs than before.

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Auntie...... Why are you here, how are you doing? ”

"Good boy. Auntie's health is much better, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and Auntie misses you so much. Why don't you come to see me now, you kid? ”

"I ......" Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head, not knowing how to explain. Back then, she made up her mind to marry Lu Hongshen because of Aunt Lu's hard advice, but later she betrayed Aunt Lu's trust.

Speaking of which, this is the reason why Lin Xiaoxiao didn't visit Lu's mother again.

"Silly boy." Mother Lu rubbed Lin Xiaoxiao's loose hair: You don't have to feel guilty about me, haven't you always known it, I like you very much. ”

In Lu's mother, Lin Xiaoxiao can always find the feeling of returning home. Lu Mu's warm palm was still on her head, Lin Xiaoxiao only felt a sour heart, and tears swirled in her eyes.

"Auntie, thank you so much."

"Alright, alright." Mother Lu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with slightly red eyes: "Auntie, I also want to thank you, if it weren't for you, where would I have eaten so much food." Come, since Auntie is here today, I also want to make a request, Auntie wants to eat Dongpo meat. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao got up from Lu's mother's arms, with a smile on her face that appeared after being moved: "Mm-hmm." You sit there and wait, and it's done in no time. ”

Walking to the back kitchen alone, Lin Xiaoxiao still felt a little trance.

Since signing the divorce agreement with Lu Hongshen, she has really not seen Lu's mother for a long time. In her impression, Mother Lu always looks decent and generous, and takes care of Lin Xiaoxiao considerately.

Because of this, Lin Xiaoxiao's heart is endlessly grateful to Lu's mother on the one hand, and a deep sense of guilt on the other. She felt that she had betrayed Lu's mother's trust, and she didn't know how to face Lu's mother again, so she chose to escape for a short time.

This time, Lu's mother was able to take the initiative to find Lin Xiaoxiao, in fact, Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was moved. At least Lin Xiaoxiao knew, it turned out that Lu's mother not only did not feel disappointed in her, but also chose to forgive her.

For Lu's mother, Lin Xiaoxiao has nothing to repay, she just wants to really make a taste that can be appreciated by Lu's mother again to show her sincerity.

As soon as he said to do it, Lin Xiaoxiao selected the best pork belly from the ice warehouse and began to prepare for the production of Dongpo meat.

Dongpo pork, also known as rolling pork, is an authentic home-cooked dish in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There are many ways to make Dongpo meat, but it is not difficult to make the original Dongpo meat.

Lu Mu has a deep study of food, and if she wants to truly conquer Lu Mu's appetite, Lin Xiaoxiao can't do it without a little effort this time.

In order to make the Dongpo meat group authentic enough, in terms of the selection of ingredients, Lin Xiaoxiao has been striving for excellence. She picked out the freshest pork belly ribs with half fat and half lean meat. After washing the pork, cut the pork into square cubes of the same size, put it in a pot of boiling water and cook it for five minutes.

Then, Lin Xiaoxiao took out the casserole, used a bamboo board to cushion the bottom, first spread a layer of green onions, then a layer of ginger slices, and finally stacked the pork belly neatly on top. After the red and white pork belly was stacked, Lin Xiaoxiao evenly sprinkled cooking wine, soy sauce, and sugar in the casserole, and finally sealed the lid of the pot and wrapped the eaves of the casserole with sandpaper.

After the ingredients are processed, Lin Xiaoxiao puts the casserole on the simmer and slowly boils, and when the pork belly in the casserole comes out of the oil, Lin Xiaoxiao turns off the heat, throws all the oil flowers away, and then puts the pork belly into a special small pot and continues to boil.

The most important step in the process of making pork belly is to grasp the heat. If the heat is too high or the steaming time is too long, the pork belly will lose its original flavor, and if the steaming time is too short, the meat will be too hard and too much fat will lose its taste.

So after Lin Xiaoxiao put the pork belly into the small jar, he immediately strictly controlled the time. After doing Dongpo meat so many times, Lin Xiaoxiao also had experience, and after she set the clock, she began to work on other things.

It was rare for Mother Lu to come to see Lin Xiaoxiao once, so Lin Xiaoxiao felt that it was too monotonous if it was just a dish of Dongpo meat. Moreover, Dongpo meat is a meat dish, which will inevitably make people feel greasy after eating too much, so Lin Xiaoxiao decided to prepare several refreshing side dishes at the same time to match.

Lin Xiaoxiao first decided to make broccoli.

Broccoli is rich in many vitamins and is low in energy, which can boost immunity. When making broccoli, it is common to use stir-fried or cold dressing, but this time Lin Xiaoxiaojian took a biased approach and decided to add a little teriyaki sauce to the broccoli.

At that time, the finished product tasted sweet and sour, refreshing and refreshing, and Lin Xiaoxiao thought that Lu Mu would definitely like it. This method of illuminating broccoli is also very simple for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao first cut the broccoli into small pieces and washed it, then put it in the pot and stir-fry. After the aroma of broccoli came in bursts, Lin Xiaoxiao covered the pot and simmered for three minutes.

Three minutes later, Lin Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the pot, and the broccoli in the pot was obviously much darker than just now. At this point, only one last step remains.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned on the simmer again, and then added a spoonful of teriyaki sauce to the broccoli. After putting the tan sauce in the pan, there is a noticeable change in color. She stir-fried it a few times, stir-fried the teriyaki sauce and broccoli evenly, and then served it.

The teriyaki sauce has a sweet and sour taste, and it goes well with broccoli. After serving, Lin Xiaoxiao picked up a small chopstick and tasted it. After taking a bite, she nodded frequently.

This taste is exactly what Lin Xiaoxiao wants. It would be a great idea to use such a refreshing teriyaki broccoli as a side dish in terms of texture and taste.
