Yanchitan mutton produced in Yinxia is a first-class top quality even if you look at the world.

Because the shallow water quality here is excellent, rich in minerals, and the grassland here grows licorice, bitter bean, ten mile, mint, yinchen, bupleurum, astragalus, sand ginseng, tribulus terrestris, zhimu, hundred berries, psyllium and other hundreds of Chinese herbs, Yanchitan's little sheep gate has naturally become a world-famous 'medicine sheep'.

It's very easy to tell the truth of the salt-flatbed sheep, its meat is bright red and has a low acid content, the lean and fat meat are evenly distributed, and the cut cross-section is very similar to that of the top snowflake wagyu beef, even a novice who buys salt-pond sheep for the first time will definitely not be distracted.

A top-notch lamb like this is not suitable for grilling with cumin chili, it is simply a ruin! The best way to eat it is to cut it into thin skins and fry it on an iron plate, or it can be stewed directly, and you only need to add some salt, even the green onion and ginger are superfluous.

Zhouzhou chose to bake!

It's just that Zhouzhou doesn't use an ordinary baking method, but a method called 'clear roasting'.

This is also one of the secret methods of boiling roast lamb chop porridge, modern chefs probably have never even heard of it, and the emphasis is on 'roasting without seeing the roast color!' ’

In general, lamb chops must be grilled until golden brown to be the best quality, which has even become the first criterion for gourmets to judge whether a lamb chop can pass the test.

But there will be exceptions to everything, if the lamb chops are roasted until golden brown when making roast lamb chop porridge, then the pot porridge will not be watched; A good pot of porridge pays attention to the color of innocence, even if it is a high-quality porridge bottom boiled out of rice oil, all kinds of different colors must not be allowed.

Because if there is a different color, there must be a strange smell! Even the charming aroma of barbecue should not appear in a good pot of porridge, just as a woman with a good temperament should not appear in the red light district at night.

This method of baking is not low for the chef, and the emphasis is on a quick hand.

Zhou Zhou first cut the lamb chops into small pieces of two inches square, and then thickened them with water, and the amount of starch was controlled at one-third of the general situation, so as to ensure that the lamb chops could just be hooked and the starch would not be too thick.

Put the hooked lamb chops into the oven, the temperature is set at 75 degrees, and then Zhou Zhou stared closely at the lamb chops in the oven, about 20 seconds later, the thin chops hooked on the outer layer of the lamb chops just began to change color, so he immediately took it out, quickly blew it cold with an air gun, and then gently wiped off the outer layer of the lamb chops with his fingers.

Then add the thin thickener again and put it in the oven and repeat the above operation......

After repeating this six times, the lamb chops that have been peeled off the outer layer again still look tender, as if they have not been cooked at all, but they have actually been roasted until they are six ripe, and the bone oil oozing from the lamb bones is tightly locked under the meat layer.

At this time, if you take a magnifying glass to observe the lamb chops grilled by Zhouzhouqing, you will find that the little fat evenly distributed between the red muscles and lean meat like snowflakes has disappeared and completely penetrated into the lean meat.

Yanchitan sheep is famous for not having much smell, more of a faint fragrance, but ordinary barbecue and stewing techniques can not completely lock this fragrance, more or less will lose some; However, under Zhouzhou's method of borrowing the simmer and quick roasting, the most precious fragrance was completely locked in the meat layer and retained.

Gently wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Zhou Zhou was still very satisfied with his 'work'; you must know that the experience left to him by the masters of the past dynasties was to use charcoal fire to achieve this 'baking' method, but he had to choose an electric oven because of the constraints of the conditions.

Although the salt flat lamb chops grilled in this way will lose some of the smell of human fireworks, the modern technology of the electric oven allows him to control the heat more precisely, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

Once the grilled lamb chops are completed, this 'grilled lamb chop porridge' is about to come out.

Zhou Zhou evenly distributed the roasted lamb chops in the white porridge, turned on the simmer and continued to boil, while gently probing the bottom of the pot with a long-handled soup spoon against the wall of the pot, and then gently swinging from left to right layer by layer.

This is because the base of the porridge is already very thick, and the previous method of stirring is no longer applicable, so it is necessary to use this special technique to evenly distribute the heat from the bottom of the pot in the porridge, and at the same time be careful not to touch the lamb chops.

This is something that those Michelin-starred chefs could not have imagined; Even Western chefs, who have to weigh every condiment and produce it like an assembly line, don't believe that anyone can sense a lamb chop hidden in a thick porridge through a long-handled soup spoon.

This kind of operation is completely unbelievable and indescribable experience.

Half an hour later, the rich aroma of porridge filled the entire kitchen, and Zhou Zhou smiled and glanced at Chen Yan, who was in a daze: "Don't be stunned... Tell Brother Li and Xiao Zhang that they are ready to eat. ”

Chen Yan, who was dazzled by Zhouzhou's series of operations, hesitated: "Old Zhou, you don't seem to have any seasonings, and you don't even put salt?" ”

It is not uncommon for meat dishes to be included in porridge, and there is even salted fish porridge in Guangdong Province and Xiangjiang that love to boil porridge, and what pig blood, pig liver, preserved egg and lean porridge are even more famous, but you always have to put salt? This is not vegetarian porridge, and it is still mutton, so it's too strange not to put salt, right?

"The top-quality ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods, so I don't put any seasonings in this pot of grilled lamb chop porridge except for rice and lamb chops!"

Zhou Zhou smiled: "What, you shouldn't doubt my cooking skills, right?" ”

Chen Yan nodded very seriously: "I am very skeptical, so for the benefit of the passengers, it is necessary for me to taste it in advance, this is the duty of a people's waiter!" ”

“......”

Zhou Zhou was a little speechless, you can say you want to eat if you want to eat, what do you do when you say so much?

......

When Chen Yan pushed the vending cart into the sleeper car, her head was still dizzy.

It's like waking up from a hangover, and you're still confused; It seems to be a lack of sleep, and everything looks like a flower pillow.

In front of her, it seemed to be the beautiful scene when she broke the porridge noodles, and the aroma of roasted lamb chop porridge seemed to echo in her mouth, and this aroma lingered for a long time, making her a little reluctant to open her mouth.

"Lao Zhou is a devil, right? How could a man make such a porridge......

What kind of fairy porridge is that... There really wasn't any salt or seasoning, and it tasted ......."

The tongue swirled in his mouth, as if every time he turned, he could still touch the indescribable mellow fragrance.

Chen Yan, who closed her small mouth tightly, quickly attracted the attention of the passengers, and as soon as she walked to the door of a double soft sleeper box, someone called her from the box door that was opened early.

"Chen Meinu, what you pushed in the car is roasted lamb chop porridge, right? Why don't you sell it? ”

Lu Meiqi jumped out of the soft sleeper box with an arrow step, walked to the vending car and looked at the lunch box, frowned and said: "Why don't you see any oil flowers on the porridge noodles, didn't you say that you used grilled lamb chops?" ”
