Chapter 108: Delicious Drops
After returning to Granny Yan's house, he found that Granny Yan was not at home, and after a glance at the ingredients in the kitchen, Zhilin became interested, and planned to cook a dinner in person today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Granny Yan's house, there are still a lot of fish and game caught earlier, and after thinking about it, Zhilin plans to make dinner.
When Zhilin was just about to start, Ji Yue also came over to help, of course, just to help Zhilin burn the fire, but this was enough.
Braised rabbit meat is a delicious and healthy home-cooked dish. Its color is red and bright, and the taste is fragrant and the meat is rotten. It is very suitable for the elderly and children.
This is also the first dish that Zhilin is going to make, combined with Granny Yan's situation, plus the seasoning in the kitchen, he will definitely make this dish.
Zhilin's mother can be said to be an all-round woman, basically knows a little bit of everything, and Zhilin's cooking skills are learned from Zhilin's mother.
Quickly wash the rabbit meat and cut it into pieces, then soak the rabbit meat in clean water, and after the rabbit meat is processed, Zhilin puts the rabbit meat aside to let its blood soak out, and he goes to do the rest first. 、
There are no rice cookers in the countryside and in the cities, so iron pots are usually used for cooking.
The rice and water that are about to be cooked are scooped up directly from the pot and put into the bamboo sieve, which is prepared in advance, and soon, the rice that was originally like porridge is left with only rice, and the water is all leaked into a basin below, and the water is called rice soup, which is a good drink in the countryside.
After brushing the pot clean, pour a little water into the pot, then put a colander, and then pour all the freshly filtered rice that is about to cook on top, then directly close the lid of the pot and steam it.
This is the practice of rice in the countryside, although it is more troublesome, but Zhilin cannot deny that the rice made in this way is indeed much better than that made from a rice cooker, and there is also rice soup to quench your thirst.
After putting the lid on the pot, Zhilin didn't care about him anymore, but took a look at the rabbit meat that had just been soaked, and the blood water hadn't completely come out, so he couldn't move it for the time being, although he couldn't make braised rabbit meat now, but he could make others.
Zhilin ran directly to the pheasant's place, took out some of the chicken that Granny Yan had already processed, and after marinating it a little, Zhilin greeted Ji Yue and asked her to continue burning it with a high fire, and then left the kitchen directly.
Of course, Zhilin was not lazy, but ran to a lotus pond in the distance and pulled a few lotus leaves.
Now is the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the lotus leaves grow just right, and what Zhilin plans to do today is 'fragrant lotus leaf chicken', this is Zhilin's specialty dish, even the mother has praised Zhilin.
After taking a few lotus leaves home, wash the lotus leaves and start processing the pheasants.
Fragrant lotus leaf chickens are generally used in domestic chickens, and Zhilin uses pheasants, of course, it is better, and the production is definitely more delicious, and Zhilin tried it a long time ago.
The pheasant also needs to be pickled, and when it is marinated, the rice in the iron pot is already ready, and Zhilin puts the leaky sasa and rice directly into the small pot on the stove next to it, and the position of this small pot can make it suffer from the fire of the big iron pot, so it can play a role in keeping warm.
After washing the pot, Zhilin directly took out the rabbit meat that had been completely soaked in blood water, then added seasonings again and stirred it, and then poured oil into the pot and prepared to start cooking.
The oil was soon hot, Zhilin directly poured the rabbit meat next to him into the oil pot, and suddenly a crackling sound came out, and after a little oil, let the rabbit meat be burned five mature, Zhilin scooped up the rabbit meat in the oil pot, and now the rabbit meat has been fried red, take it out and put it aside to drain the oil.
After scooping up the rabbit meat, pour all the green onions, ginger and star anise that have just been cut into the oil pot with a lot of oil, and pour the rabbit meat directly into it after stir-frying.
In the process, Zhilin added soy sauce, sugar and an appropriate amount of water, and asked Ji Yue to turn the fire to low and simmer for about half an hour, collect the juice, and this braised rabbit meat was perfectly out of the pot.
Seeing the red rabbit meat on the plate, Ji Yue blinked, didn't hold back her greed, and directly reached out and picked up a small piece from the plate, like putting it in her mouth, however, she still underestimated the temperature of the rabbit meat that had just come out of the pot, and was immediately burned and threw away the rabbit meat in her hand, "Ah!"
Zhilin, who was dealing with pheasants, suddenly heard Ji Yue's exclamation, and immediately turned his head to look.
Seeing Ji Yue's appearance, Zhilin knew what was going on, and was speechless for a moment, and said, "You little gluttonous cat, are you in such a hurry, don't wait for a while, forget it, you don't even use chopsticks!"
After speaking, Zhilin directly picked up Ji Yue's hand, put the hot red fingers into his mouth, and gently helped her tea.
After a while, Zhilin put Ji Yue's hand down and asked, "How is it?
Ji Yue shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's amazing, why don't you put it in your mouth, and my hand doesn't hurt?"
Seeing Ji Yue, who was like a curious baby, Zhilin was amused for a while, but he still said: "Saliva can disinfect and reduce your pain, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you can also try it yourself!"
Listening to Zhilin's words, Ji Yue nodded as if she didn't understand, and then continued to burn the fire, the burn just now was actually not serious, after all, even if the rabbit meat had just come out of the pot, it was not so hot anymore, so it was just a little painful at the beginning, and now it is much better.
Seeing that Ji Yue was fine, Zhilin also returned to his position and continued to deal with the pheasant in front of him.
The treatment of the pheasant is actually very simple, directly clean the internal organs of the chicken, and then do not need to cut, directly put the seasoning prepared in advance in the belly of the chicken, and smear it on the body of the pheasant, marinate for a while, and it is good.
Then use lotus leaves to hold the pheasant, put it in the pot and steam it.
After putting the pheasant wrapped in lotus leaves into the pot, Zhilin was also idle for the time being, looked at the remaining ingredients, and finally prepared to make a dish, that is, 'spicy chicken'.
The method of spicy chicken is very simple, Zhilin finished the previous work after a while, and then waited for the fragrant lotus leaf chicken in the pot to be steamed.
After steaming, the lid of the pot was just opened, and a fragrance containing lotus leaves came to the nose, making the little gluttonous cat Ji Yue swallow her saliva suddenly.
Seeing Ji Yue's appearance, Zhilin smiled lightly, then carefully opened the lotus leaf, tore off a little chicken for Ji Yue and handed it to her, saying, "Give, taste!"
Ji Yue couldn't wait to take it and put it in her mouth.
"It's delicious!" Zhilin said as soon as he ate the chicken.
Seeing that Ji Yue liked to eat, Zhilin smiled and said, "Okay, wait until Granny Yan and they come back to eat together!"
Hearing Zhilin's words, although Ji Yue was still a little greedy, she still endured it, continued to help Zhilin light the fire, made the last plate of spicy chicken, and also had a pot of chicken soup by the way.
"Wow, it's so fragrant!" When Zhilin opened the lid of the pot to make sure that the final chicken soup was ready, the voice of the calf came from the kitchen door.
