Chapter 219 Fragrant pumpkin soup
A dish of cumin mutton is simple to make, and after Lin Xiaoxiao's efforts, it was quickly made.
The freshly made lamb with cumin was served on a beautiful plate, still steaming hot because of the temperature. Mutton originally had its own unique aroma, and now after Lin Xiaoxiao's treatment, it is even more fragrant, which makes people involuntarily aroused.
At this time, Li Yu, who had just finished working at the front desk, happened to walk in.
As soon as he walked into the back kitchen, Li Yu sniffed left and right with his nose: "What is Chef Lin doing, it's so fragrant." I felt like my mouth was going to water. ”
Lin Xiaoxiao replied while putting the mutton in the incubator: "Since you think it tastes fragrant, you can guess it yourself." I feel that I can still retain the original flavor of the meat. ”
Hearing this, Li Yu really sniffed carefully with his nose.
She got closer and closer, and finally sniffed around Lin Xiaoxiao and suddenly realized: "I said why is it so fragrant!" It's the taste of chili pepper and cumin, no, you're making lamb. ”
"Count in your nose."
Just when Lin Xiaoxiao was about to close the lid of the incubator, Li Yu blocked his hand in the middle: "Don't mind, store manager, I really feel like my saliva is about to flow out." You wait, let me take a bite first. ”
As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, before Lin Xiaoxiao could respond, she picked up a piece of mutton and put it in her mouth.
"Ouch, it's hot, it's hot." Although his mouth was very hot, Li Yu still put the mutton into his mouth in one bite. Outside the mutton is a layer of cumin, and the aroma of cumin permeates the mutton, which makes people's lips and teeth fragrant.
In this aroma, there is a hint of spiciness. The spicy and aromatic mixture, the meat is fried until the skin is soft and soft, and everything is exactly this delicious cumin lamb.
After eating a bite, while Lin Xiaoxiao was not paying attention, Li Yu quickly took out a piece of mutton from the thermos bucket.
"You said you ......" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pat Li Yu's shoulder: "If you want to eat, I'll make it for you when I come back." That's what I do for someone else. ”
"No." Li Yu shook his head: "My gluttonous worms have already been hooked out, I really want to eat them now." You just let me take one bite and take one more bite. ”
"Nope." Lin Xiaoxiao replied decisively. After she took Li Yu's hand out of the incubator, she quickly covered the thermos bucket.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao was such a treasure in the incubator, Li Yu was suspicious.
She remembers that there was no such thing as cumin lamb in the takeaway order, not only that, but ......
If it was just cumin mutton, where would Lin Xiaoxiao be so nervous. After some reasonable reasoning, Li Yu felt that there was only one truth.
"No, store manager......" Li Yu's voice sounded unfathomable: "I don't think this matter is so simple, you tell the truth, is this for Lu Hongshen."
After Li Yu finished speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded silently.
"Well, I say. Okay, I'm not going to eat it, you can send it to him quickly. While speaking, Li Yu began to push Lin Xiaoxiao outside.
"What, it's not good yet. There's also a soup. ”
"There's one more."
"That's right."
Lin Xiaoxiao was going to make a soup next.
In Lin Xiaoxiao's inherent opinion, if a meal does not have a soup, then the meal is not complete. Because of the soup, you can iron your stomach and intestines, which is the perfect meal.
When Li Yu went to the front desk to work, Lin Xiaoxiao began to prepare to make soup.
There are many soups that can be made during this season. Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it for a long time before deciding what to do.
What Lin Xiaoxiao is going to make is fragrant pumpkin soup.
Fragrant pumpkin soup, the finished product is golden in color and sweet in taste. Not only does it taste great, but it's also relatively easy to make.
In order not to make any mistakes in the subsequent production steps, Lin Xiaoxiao began to prepare various ingredients.
1/2 medium-sized pumpkin, 1/2 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, a moderate amount of black pepper, a moderate amount of whipped cream...... With all this ready, Lin Xiaoxiao began her production process.
She shredded the onions she had prepared, then cut the pumpkin into pieces of almost equal size with the skin attached.
Generally, when making pumpkin soup, everyone chooses to remove the pumpkin skin first, but this time, Lin Xiaoxiao did the opposite.
Compared with the tender pumpkin pulp, the pumpkin shell is actually very nutritious. Not only in terms of nutritional value, but also because of the taste of the finished pumpkin pulp and the finished pumpkin rind, are two completely different opposites.
It was based on these many considerations that Lin Xiaoxiao decided to put everything in the pot with the pumpkin skin and pumpkin pulp to steam.
In order to make the final product delicious enough, in the production process, Lin Xiaoxiao is also unique.
Instead of boiling the pumpkin and the rest of the ingredients, she sprinkled the freshly chopped pumpkin chunks, as well as the onion and the two cloves of garlic she had prepared, with olive oil and salt, and put them in the oven.
After preheating the oven to 180 degrees, Lin Xiaoxiao put all the ingredients on the baking sheet.
After almost a few minutes of baking, a slight golden brown substance appears on the food in the oven. The aromas of the various ingredients are also beginning to emerge.
Among this aromas, the most obvious is the aroma of pumpkin.
The pumpkin is rich in aroma with a little sweetness, which makes people feel good just by smelling it.
In this rich aroma, Lin Xiaoxiao took out the baking tray and put it aside. She was waiting for the pumpkin, which had been roasted, to cool down at its natural temperature.
Of course, during this time period, Lin Xiaoxiao did not stop.
Just when he was processing the pumpkin and cutting the pumpkin into various pieces, Lin Xiaoxiao put all the pumpkin seeds in a small bowl by the way.
Now, what Lin Xiaoxiao has to focus on is this whole plate of pumpkin seeds.
The white and tender pumpkin seeds are placed in a bowl, and they look like fat dolls placed next to each other. Lin Xiaoxiao put a little oil in the pot and put the pumpkin seeds in the pot.
After frying in hot oil, the hot oil soaks into the pumpkin seeds, and one by one the pumpkin seeds begin to burst, and in the crackling sound, a fragrance begins to permeate again.
This reminds me that unlike the freshly roasted pumpkin, it is lighter and more fragrant, as if it has a hint of grass.
It wasn't until the pumpkin seeds were completely fried until they were crispy that Lin Xiaoxiao brought out the pumpkin seeds.
She began the rest of the production process.
Lin Xiaoxiao took out the soup pot, put the pumpkin and onion that had just been baked, and then added the Lin family's ancestral broth to the soup pot, and then covered the pot and began to cook together.
The steaming process is also extremely time-consuming.
If you want the pumpkin to be able to fully cook its flavor, it must be brewed for a while. Only with the help of time can the taste of pumpkin be fully reflected in this bowl of soup.
