Chapter 180: Subverting the Perception of Mutton
"Brother Yi, it's done."
"Brother Yi, we're done stripping."
The debriefing of the peeling group and the meat cutting group sounded almost at the same time.
Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai have already stripped off the red willow branches, and the smooth red willow branches are placed together, neatly and neatly.
And Wu Lei also cut the leg of mutton meat and cut it into mahjong-sized pieces.
Seeing this, Li Yi waved his hand and greeted: "Wear meat!" ”
Boom! Boom!
A plate of lamb leg meat and a plate of sheep's tail oil were put together.
Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai also took the iron skewers and red willow skewers.
"The meat should be worn vertically, so that it does not droop down, first one piece of lean meat, then one piece of fat, and then two pieces of lean meat."
Li Yi taught them how to wear meat, and soon, strings of lamb skewers with three thin and one fat were neatly placed on the tray.
After taking an iron skewer, Li Yi stacked the cut liver slices and sheep's tail oil slices together, so that the sheep's tail oil was facing outward, and then put them on the skewers together.
After wearing more than a dozen skewers, Li Yi stood up and signaled: "You guys wear them first, and I'll go and roast these." ”
"Good!"
Everyone waited for his words and nodded one after another.
With the plate of meat skewers worn, Li Yi came to the stove.
Arrange the prepared barbecue grill on the stovetop and put some charcoal inside.
Li Yi took a piece of charcoal with a tong, turned on the stove, and soon burned red, and then put it in the oven.
Soon, the charcoal was ignited and the temperature of the oven was raised.
Scattering the ignited charcoal, Li Yi put the skewered meat skewers on the grill, stacked them neatly, and turned to look at the soup bucket.
The temperature of the soup bucket has gradually risen, and it has begun to tumble slightly in the middle, with a thin layer of foam floating on the edges.
The better the quality of the mutton, the less foam there is, which shows that the meat quality of this sheep is definitely not bad.
After beating out the insignificant foam with a soup spoon, Li Yi added some salt to the soup bucket and threw a few peppercorns and peppercorns.
Good lamb doesn't need to be seasoned with too many seasonings at all.
Green onions, ginger, cooking wine, these fishy ingredients are not needed.
A handful of good mutton salt, as long as the mutton is good enough, only a handful of salt is needed to taste, it can make people want to eat.
After beating the foam, Li Yi closed the lid of the soup bucket and turned down the heat slightly.
Then, he smelled a strong aroma of mutton.
Zila!
It was the aroma of grease dripping on a charcoal fire.
The smell was like a drop of ink falling into the clear water, and it instantly dissipated.
Soon, everyone in the entire back kitchen smelled it.
"Wow! It smells so good! ”
Wu Lei exclaimed, raised his head, and looked at the stove.
The others also craned their necks and stared at each other.
"Don't worry, it's not okay yet!"
Li Yi returned to the stove, picked up the skewer, and looked at the part facing downward, which had just appeared a little yellowish, and had just begun to leak oil, while the meat facing up still maintained the pink and tender of raw meat.
Grabbing a handful of lamb skewers in one hand, Li Yi dipped the downward-facing parts left and right, so that the grilled fat was smeared on the upward-facing parts to avoid waste, and also smeared a layer of oil on the meat skewers, making it easier for the meat pieces to lock in moisture.
Flipping the meat skewers, dipping the oil left and right, Li Yi grasped the heat of the barbecue freely.
Barbecue is the most original dish and the first dish that humans learned.
It was the barbecue that separated primitive humans from wild beasts and set foot on the road to the top of the food chain.
Barbecue is the simplest dish, and you only need to bake the ingredients before eating.
But barbecue is also the most complicated, because it represents the most essential heat.
One centimeter more, one centimeter less difference in the thickness of ingredients.
One more charcoal fire, one less charcoal fire brings about the temperature change.
An extra second of roasting, and one second of less time, can cause subtle but clear changes to the ingredients, which can affect the texture and taste of the ingredients.
Although Li Yi has learned so many dishes, he doesn't dare to say that he has completely mastered the skills of barbecue.
However, compared with ordinary chefs, his control of the heat is already a master.
As he flipped the skewers, drops of grease fell, and then turned into fragrant smoke, filling the back kitchen with the sound of swallowing saliva.
Finally, Wu Lei and the others couldn't sit still, so they all came to the stove, staring at the barbecue in Li Yi's hand, and their saliva flowed.
"Okay, okay? Brother Yi? ”
Wu Lei asked anxiously, and his eyes were reluctant to take his eyes off.
"Don't worry, it's still a little close."
Li Yi pinched some cumin and lightly sprinkled it on the barbecue.
When cumin powder is heated, the rich aroma explodes instantly.
"It smells so good!"
Liu Yifei couldn't help but snort, and then closed her mouth.
Her saliva was almost brought out.
"The smell of cumin is simply amazing, so feeling."
Huang Xiaoming held his waist, only to feel that the little rice noodles he ate at noon had turned into water, and there was not a drop left, and his entire empty stomach was begging him for food, to fill the emptiness with delicious mutton skewers.
"Almost, huh?"
Wu Lei smelled the tempting fragrance and was already so anxious that he wanted to jump up.
"Right now."
Li Yi grabbed the meat skewers with both hands, dipped them in each other, and let the cumin powder evenly wrap on the meat skewers, while asking, "Do you want chili peppers?" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone said in unison.
"That's slightly spicy."
Li Yi pinched a handful of chili peppers and sprinkled them on the meat skewers.
The thin chili noodles landed on the sizzling meat skewers, melted in an instant, and hung on the meat skewers, adding a touch of hot color to the meat skewers.
"Okay? Okay? ”
Wu Lei put his hands behind his head, clamped his head, and moaned.
"Alright, alright."
Li Yi said, pinched up a pinch of salt, sprinkled it on the meat skewers, and then dipped it twice at random, then took it down, put it on the tray, and complained: "Look at you monkeys are in a hurry like this, let the audience see it, I thought I was hungry for you for three days, and I didn't give you food!" ”
No one paid attention to him, and everyone's hands reached for the tray, and one person took a few skewers and finished dividing the meat skewers.
"Why don't you leave me a bunch?"
Li Yi was helpless.
"Here, this string is for you."
Liu Yifei handed him the extra string in his hand.
Li Yi looked at Wu Lei, who was holding two skewers in his left hand and one skewer in his right hand, and was stuffing it into his mouth, shook his head, took the meat skewers handed by Liu Yifei, and said with a smile: "I'll bake it for you again." ”
"Siha! Call! ”
Wu Lei had already grinned and took a piece of mutton from the skewer, sighed, and ate it in his mouth.
As soon as he took a bite, he was immediately conquered by the soft flesh and the sweet juice gushing out.
"Wow! So tender! It smells so good! ”
He looked like he had been injected, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked in pain, but in fact, he enjoyed it to the extreme.
Huang Xiaoming also ate a piece of meat, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "This mutton... Why is it so tender? Oh, my God! ”
The taste of this mutton completely subverted his perception of mutton!
