Chapter 106 Picking Bear's Paws

Under the command of Qin Da'er, the forepaws of the three bears have been pre-treated with dehairing, boiling, and repeated cold water soaking.

The next process is not something that Qin Da'er, a rough man in the mountains, can understand, and the eldest brother of the party threw the processed three bear paws into the soup pot together with the old chicken, ham, and pork knuckle, and simmered them with the lid open and over low heat.

And then a few men had nothing to do.

The pre-treated bear's paw needs to be simmered slowly for at least three hours in the broth to be soft and glutinous, and after simmering, their little proprietor Yao Yuan said that he must wait for him to deal with it personally.

Qin Shuhan, who is 1.95 meters tall, doesn't understand, isn't it just a few broken bear paws, our cooks are like facing a big enemy, and they all squeeze into the kitchen to see the rarity. This bear blind man has something in the old forest, and in the past few years, the forest farm had to organize militia to encircle and suppress it every winter, otherwise this thing would go down the mountain and harm the people.

Everyone knows that bear's paw is a good thing, and there are few people in the city, so it can be sold at a good price, but for the people in the mountains, everyone has also eaten, this thing is waste firewood and fire, not cooked, and it doesn't smell good when it's done, and it can't feel that this thing is good.

His old comrade-in-arms founded the country and was hungry for it, and he wrote a letter to ask for this thing, and told him to come over in person if he was free, so that he could see the new canteen he had built and see if there was a chance to work together.

Qin Shuhan didn't know anything about cooking, and after a few years as a soldier, he learned to drive and repair cars, and he was like a fish in water in the army, and he also became a company commander.

Although he was a little not too proud after being discharged from the army, there were too many veterans, and the county armed forces department couldn't arrange it at all, Qin Shuhan didn't want to cause any trouble to the country, so he dared to go back to the forest farm where he grew up.

There is everything in the forest farm, as long as you use a gun, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, so I never thought that I could find any work in the canteen of the metropolis.

However, when the old forest was closed by heavy snow in winter, there was really nothing to do.

Although it is a good time to hunt after the heavy snow closes the mountain, but now there are fewer and fewer prey on the mountain, and the only livelihood of hunting has also been affected.

If this policy is true, the livelihoods of the forest farms will definitely be affected.

Qin Shuhan, who could only be at home in the winter, was uncomfortable, and after receiving the letter from his comrades-in-arms, he simply collected some bear paws and some other rare things in the mountains, and came to Pingcheng by car.

This thing is also a rare thing, Yao Yuan didn't say that he wouldn't let everyone touch it, and he didn't know that Qin Da'er still brought this good thing.

Hash Ant, also known as forest frog, is another well-known game produced in the northeast forest area, the taste is extremely delicious, but also has super high medicinal value, can benefit the kidneys, both men and women have effects, and even can regulate human immunity, once only for the emperor to enjoy the treasure.

Later, because of over-capture, it was once on the verge of extinction, and later generations were artificially cultivated and bred before it appeared in the market again.

According to the instructions of the big man Qin, the party built the country and simply braised the hash ants, and made a hot pot with pork belly, pork belly, pig intestines, and pork liver, and served it with the sauerkraut that the big man brought to his home, and then commanded Mancheng to mash a large bowl of garlic sauce with garlic mortar, and then turned off the fire.

There are not many varieties, there are a lot of left, they are all a bunch of rough men, not so much, Qin Shuhan thought that this was all the time for the dinner, Gao Yang and Li Tie happily held a pot of all kinds of smoked chicken sauce meat, a large pot of vinegar mixed with cabbage, bean sprouts, vermicelli, dried tofu, and a pot of spiky golden pancakes.

The party builder brought the braised hash ant to the table, took the copper hot pot chimney that was already boiling, rubbed his hands, and looked greedy: "I said, let's start!" I've been hungry for this sauerkraut for a long time, but unfortunately there is a little less blood sausage, and it's too late to get it. ”

Qin Da'er looked at the three children who were already eager to try: "Why don't the children eat first, let's wait for your host?" ”

Everyone laughed: "What a proprietor, a young proprietor, that's what we joked about, Yao Yuan is the boss of our company, but he is young and has no shelf, we don't have to wait for dinner here, he can catch up, and if he can't catch up, he will eat leftovers, not so much." ”

Xiaohua'er disliked the ugly appearance of the Hash Ant, and directly stretched out her chopsticks to the hot pot, specifically picking the pork belly and sauerkraut inside, and heard everyone talking about her brother, and she didn't say that she was maintaining: "Don't worry about him, he is also a big man and can eat, and when he comes back, we won't be able to eat enough." ”

Qin Da couldn't figure out the relationship between several people, and it was not easy to get along with the stubble, so he could only sit at the table with kindness, and when he looked at the table, he found that the big basin and the big bowl of copper hot pot on the table were very lively, but it seemed that there was something missing, and he couldn't help but speak.

The door "clanged", an old man and a young man broke in, and the young man was not polite as soon as he entered the door: "Yo, yo, yo, all move the chopsticks, do you have any quality?" Can you wait for me? By the way, Brother Dang, what about my bear's paws, if you dare to say that you did it, I am really anxious with you. ”

Brother Dang smiled good-naturedly, and pointed his finger in the direction of the kitchen: "The soup has been simmering for three hours, and now the time is just right, you go and see what to do." ”

The old man who came in was dressed in a blue cadre suit, and he looked quite elegant like a cultural person, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he also talked to these rough men: "Xiao Yao told me that you secretly eat alone, and the party manager will always do this in the future, be careful that I card your expenses!" ”

For this old man, Brother Dang's attitude was obviously a lot more respectful, and he stood up and sat down: "Oh, Ma Lao, what are you talking about, I don't believe you ask Yao Yuan, saying that there are bear's paws to eat today, and I also said that I will invite you specially, but Yao Yuan said that he will go in person, you sit down and see what else is on this table?" ”

Accountant Ma sat down in the middle with a big grin, stretched out his hand and pouted Hu Xiaochuber's little flat head: "What's the matter with you, you came to eat again?" You don't care about your grandma Wang's stall? ”

Hu Xiaopang turned his head a little impatiently: "Wait for the bear's paw to come up, I'll go after eating, and I'll tell you that my homework has been written, and I was the top five in the class in the last exam!" ”

As soon as Hu Xiaopang opened his mouth, he blocked the old horse's nagging, and the old horse didn't care, his eyes swept around the table, and when he saw the plate of braised hash ants, he lit up all of a sudden: "Oh, this is not a toad, is it a hash ant?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Accountant Ma was so happy that his eyes narrowed: "Today is really a blessing, I didn't expect you to be able to get this good thing, what kind of iron, you hurry up and get wine, Yao Yuan said, everyone can drink the Moutai he saved today!" ”

The room was immediately full of jubilation, and Qin Da'er also smiled, and said, how can there be no wine for a dinner!

Moutai is a good thing, much better than the loose Louzi that I usually drink.

The Manchu Han banquet said that the practice of bear's paws is "picking bear's paws", and Yao Yuan is going to do the same today.

I've seen a lot of old recipes, which say different things about the practice of picking up bear paws, and many of the practices are fooling the layman, at least they are left behind, if they strictly follow the process in the recipe, the finished product will definitely not be much better.

Yao Yuan picked up the simmered bear's paw nose and took a deep breath, the bear's paw soaked in the aroma of old chicken and ham already had some undertaste, but he could faintly smell a special fishy smell.

The fishy smell is different from the bad taste of ordinary meat, and it faintly brings some wild flavors of mountains and forests, which has some unique stimulation to people's taste buds.

Yao Yuan nodded, this so-called fishy smell may be the unique charm of bear paw, after a long time of rich collagen, it fully absorbs the fragrance of various ingredients, and at the same time removes all kinds of bad miscellaneous smells, and the rest is the flavor of this bear paw, just like dried abalone?

Once you have the basics in mind, the next step is very simple.

"Grilling" is one of the most basic operating techniques in Chinese food, and it is divided into "red grill" and "white grill".

Among the old dishes in Pingcheng, there are many dishes with red steak techniques, especially halal dishes, which makes it difficult for Yao Yuan.

After removing the bones and shaping the bear's paw, Yao Yuan increased the amount of green onion and ginger, and then picked a few spices, in addition to the regular Angelica dahurica, a little licorice was added to remove the smell.

As for the side dishes, there is nothing other than a few slices of ham, magnolia slices, and carrots to match the color.

If you eat it for your own family, you pay attention to it and don't engage in useless gimmicks.

Stir-fry the spices, green onion and ginger until fragrant, use the broth to thoroughly burn the bear's paws into the flavor, and after the protein in the bear's paws and broth is burned to thickness, simply adjust the taste with salt, sugar and pepper, pour in the flavored oil, and finally put it on the plate with a beautiful big spoon.

No MSG!

Because Yao Yuan requested, no monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and the like were allowed in his kitchen.

Of course, there is no chicken essence yet.

The cooks behind him stood in a row, and it was rare for everyone to see Yao Yuan making a move, standing in front of the stove and stir-frying a dish himself.

Now the so-called kitchen is mainly smoked and marinated, except for stir-frying, it is rare to use a wok, as for the staff meal, it is not the turn of their own small owner to do it, so for Yao Yuan's cooking skills, everyone basically stays at listening to his own bragging.

Of course, to say that he bragged was a joke, everyone could listen to all the theories he said, and they would be verified in practice at work, but in the kitchen, it was the hands-on ability that was ultimately compared

Everyone is a cook, and as long as they get started in the kitchen, they can see that Yao Yuan's beautiful big spoon is accepted by all insiders, just this one spoon, without three years of skill before the stove, it is impossible to do it so neatly.

So two words instantly came to everyone's minds: demon! This is absolutely demonic!

A junior in high school, he can play so neatly with a big spoon, what would he be if he wasn't a demon?

Qin Shuhan, who has never worked in the kitchen, is a layman, and the layman looks at the excitement, seeing that the young man in front of him can play the big frying spoon so neatly, he can't help but shout "Okay"!
