When the audience in the live broadcast room was arguing about the spiciness of Cantonese cuisine, everyone had already washed out the burnt pig's head.

Li Yi took the two largest soup buckets, put a grate curtain underneath, and put the chopped pig's head into it.

This step is to blanch the water and cook the pig's head preliminarily.

After the pig's head was put into the pot, Li Yi cut some green onions and ginger into it, and turned on a high fire and burned it.

Blanching takes at least thirty minutes, Li Yi asked Zhao Jinmai to come over and watch the fire, and then returned to the desk and asked Wu Lei to take four front elbows over.

When loading the car, Li Yi had already divided each part and marked the name, which was clear and clear.

Therefore, Wu Lei went to the acid discharge room and quickly took back Li Yiyao's front elbow.

Putting the elbow in front of Li Yi, Wu Lei asked curiously: "Brother Yi, do you want to make Dongpo's elbow?" ”

"It's not."

Li Yi said, and then added: "Dongpo elbows are also done, but tomorrow I will do them, these elbows are not, these elbows are made of crystal elbows." ”

"Crystal elbow?"

Wu Lei was surprised when he heard it: "Is the elbow made transparent?" Really? ”

Li Yi was amused by his brain hole, and complained with a smile: "You think I'm a fairy?" Can you also make the elbow transparent? ”

"Oh, okay."

Wu Lei scratched his head and said with a smile: "You can make flowers out of broth, I thought you could also make your elbows transparent!" ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Yi explained: "Crystal elbow is a home-cooked dish in Lu cuisine, that is, the elbow is deboned and boiled, and then the pork skin is steamed in the pot to boil out the gelatin.

Then pour the elbow meat into the mold together with the soup, and when it cools, the soup will solidify, and it is transparent, just like crystal jelly, so it is called crystal elbow. ”

"Sounds amazing."

Liu Yifei listened on the side, slightly stunned and thoughtful, imagining what the finished product would look like.

Seeing her puzzled eyes, Li Yi reminded: "At that night dinner in Yangzhong, a dish was served, you thought it was the one with a lot of luncheon meat, remember?" ”

Under his reminder, Liu Yifei remembered: "That meat is right?" ”

"Yes."

Li Yi nodded: "The crystal elbow is a bit similar to that dish." ”

"That dish was pretty tasty."

Liu Yifei remembered its taste, and suddenly secreted a lot of saliva in her mouth.

There are also many viewers in the live broadcast room who have eaten meat, and they are all posting barrages.

"Zhenjiang people are passing by! The meat is really delicious! ”

"There are three monsters in Zhenjiang, the balsamic vinegar is not bad, the meat is not the right dish, and the lid is boiled in the noodle pot."

"The meat should be eaten with shredded ginger and vinegar, and it has to be tender shredded ginger and Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar."

"Meat is not only available in Zhenjiang, but also in Yangzhou and Taizhou, all of which are signature dishes."

"We also have meat in Hai'an, but it is different from Zhenjiang's, that is, boiled pork is pure lean meat."

"Haha! I am also from old Zhenjiang, and every morning I have to bring a bowl of pot cover noodles, alkaline noodles in soy sauce soup, drizzle some balsamic vinegar, and add a piece of meat, which is very comfortable. ”

Liu Yifei looked at the barrage of the audience in the live broadcast room and couldn't help swallowing.

Then, she couldn't help but ask Li Yi: "Brother Yi, the meat is also delicious, why don't you just cook the meat?" ”

"I planned to cook meat from the beginning, firstly, because I was too late, and secondly, for the sake of the health of the elderly."

Li Yi turned on the spray gun and roasted the skin of the elbow, while explaining: "The meat has to be marinated in nitrate for two to three days before it can be cooked, and it is too late."

Moreover, nitrate has a certain toxicity and is still a carcinogen, and eating too much is not good for the body.

This time it was all old people, so I changed it to a crystal elbow. ”

"Poisonous?"

Liu Yifei was a little surprised: "Then why do you use nitrate to make it?" What should I do if something happens? ”

"Usually you don't have an accident, because you don't usually use that much nitrate."

Li Yi explained: "The current edible nitrate is nitrite, which is a legal additive.

As long as it does not exceed the specified dosage, it will not cause direct harm to the human body.

According to the national standard, the maximum amount of nitrate used in meat is 0.15g/kg.

Canned meat products do not exceed 0.03g/kg, which is considered a legal standard.

As long as it is sold by regular manufacturers, it will be implemented in accordance with national standards. ”

"There are standards, isn't it okay to eat too much?"

Liu Yifei is still a little worried: "Why do you have to use toxic nitrate?" Isn't it okay to use regular salt? ”

"There's no way, nitrate is the characteristic of meat, and it's not authentic if you don't add nitrate."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "The original name of the ancient meat was called nitrate meat, but later I felt that it was indecent, so I changed the name to the meat.

When nitrate is added, the meat will become red and hard, and it will have a special taste experience.

It will taste a bit like eating Songhua eggs with a white mouth, and there is a slightly fermented taste, which will be liked by those who like it. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi had already burned his elbows and washed them.

Then he took his elbow to the board, and shaved off all the bones with a knife with a quick blow.

The meat of the elbow was abundant, and he used a kitchen knife to change the knife, and cut the thick part of the elbow meat thinly and spread it into a piece.

Let Wu Lei bring some pork skin, roast it with a spray gun, and after washing it, he put the elbow meat and pork skin into the pot, add water and cook for ten minutes.

Ten minutes to cook the meat is not cooked, only through the tight.

This step is for finalization.

Scooped out the pigskin first, and Li Yi used a knife to shave off the fat on the inner layer of the pigskin.

While shaving, he explained: "Whether it's making pork skin jelly, or making crystal elbows, or making soup jelly to make soup dumplings."

The fat on these pork skins used must be cleaned, otherwise the taste will be fishy. ”

While talking, Wen Song, who came back from washing his hands, saw Li Yi's operation of shaving pigskin, and asked with a smile: "What about making pigskin jelly?" ”

Zhou Yunpeng also came back wiping his hands, and when he heard Wen Song's words, he came over: "Pig skin jelly? I love to eat this stuff the most, and the thief drinks it. ”

"What the hell doesn't go down to drink?"

Wen Song smiled and quipped: "You can drink half a catty of soy sauce with an iron nail, and I will bring you a plate of pork skin jelly, and you will not drink it until next month?" ”

Zhou Yunpeng was not annoyed, but just smiled and watched Li Yi deal with the pigskin.

After shaving the fat on the pigskin, Li Yi fished out the elbows in the pot.

When he got it to the faucet, he carefully cleaned it and explained: "This dish must be clean, otherwise the soup will not be transparent." ”

"Yes."

The poplar grove also returned: "The more oil, the more muddy." ”

Zhou Yunpeng had a different opinion: "It's too clean to wash, and it doesn't taste good, I feel." ”

"It's not delicious!"

Tang Jianjun wiped his hands and walked back.

Soon, there was a circle of people behind Li Yi, all watching him clean his elbows.

After carefully cleaning the elbows, Li Yi reopened the pot to boil water, put the elbows in, added some green onions, ginger and peppercorns, and simmered.

Then, he made another pot and boiled some boiling water.

Taking advantage of the boiling water, he carefully cut the pigskin into thin strips.

Cut the shredded pork skin and boil the water in the pot.

So he poured all the pigskin into the boiling water.

Although he had carefully scraped off the oil on the pigskin, there was still a slight residue.

The pigskin silk that originally looked very clean, after being put into the pot, the boiling water quickly became turbid, and a layer of white foam floated on the surface of the water.
