Chapter 364: Liquid Nitrogen Cooling

The sugar gourd that has just come out of the pot cannot be condensed into a hard shell by the syrup on the surface, and the temperature needs to be lowered.

The same is true for Gollum Meat.

To achieve the effect of crystals, it is necessary to allow the syrup on the outer layer of the meat to cool quickly and condense into a sugar crust.

Natural cooling is definitely too late, so it's best to cool down quickly with liquid nitrogen.

After putting the liquid nitrogen aside and getting ready, Li Yi returned to the stove.

The rock sugar in the pot has almost boiled, and the color has gradually changed to sesame oil.

"It's already time to pull the strings."

When Wang Gang saw Li Yi coming, he asked, "Is it okay?" ”

"Almost."

Li Yi said casually, looking at the syrup that gradually began to appear in the pot, he suddenly reached out and increased the stove fire.

Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

The most important thing to boil sugar color is to low heat, otherwise it will paste quickly.

Why did Li Yi suddenly start a fire?

However, after Li Yi increased the flame, his hand did not leave, but only stopped for a second, and then turned the stove fire back to a small fire.

But just after such a second of high heat, the syrup in the pot was already boiling and blistering.

Li Yi didn't say a word, he directly reached out and took the basin full of meat pieces, poured it into the pot, and instructed Wang Gang: "Fry." ”

When Wang Gang heard this, he immediately grabbed the edge of the pot and quickly stir-fried it with a frying spoon.

In the process of stir-frying, Li Yi put the prepared Cantonese kimchi, sour scallion and green and red peppers into the pot.

Cantonese kimchi is the essence of traditional grunt pork, and the most traditional kimchi is made with kimchi and fried grunt pork.

Soon, the meat became shiny, and the surface began to reflect light, as if it was wrapped in a transparent film.

It's already hung up with sugar.

"Alright."

Li Yi turned off the fire directly.

Seeing him turn off the fire, Wang Gang stopped.

After carefully looking at the perfect grunt meat with sugar hanging in the pot, Wang Gang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Yi, why did you turn on the fire just now?" ”

Hearing his question, Li Yi smiled: "The question is to the point." ”

He turned around and poured the liquid nitrogen into a prepared porcelain basin and explained, "When you asked me just now, that kind of syrup has just reached the level of pulling silk, and it is not suitable for hanging sugar on the meat.

The surface of the meat is not as flat as apples and sweet potatoes, and it will absorb too much syrup.

Once cooled, the overly thick crust will be too hard and will not taste good.

So, the syrup should be boiled between the drawing and the amber, and then turn on a high heat to bring the syrup to a boil, using fine bubbles to thin the thickness of the syrup.

At this time, if you put the meat again, the thickness of the syrup will become much thinner. ”

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Wang Gang suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I've learned." ”

In the live broadcast room, the audience listened to Li Yi's words and didn't know what was wrong, so they made a barrage and ridiculed.

"Take good notes, you have to take the exam when you enter New Oriental!"

"Classroom question, what are the four stages of boiling sugar?"

"Mom, I want to eat a plucked apple."

"I choose to go to a restaurant to eat, the more expensive it is, people should earn this money!"

"Brother Yi, is this going to be a trick? The back kitchen has become a treasure palace! ”

In front of the camera, white fog rose in front of Li Yi.

Liquid nitrogen was poured into the basin, and the porcelain basin seemed to become a yao pond, with liquid tumbling below and mist above.

But this fairy liquid contains a certain danger.

poured out a part of the liquid nitrogen, Li Yi did not touch the porcelain basin again, but took a pot seat and motioned for Wang Gang to bring the pot over.

Then he took the plate he had prepared and set it aside.

Wang Gang brought the pot over, and the top of the wok, there was also hot steam, and the liquid nitrogen basin on the side seemed to be two extremes.

Li Yi took a pair of chopsticks, picked up two pieces of Gu Yu meat from the pot, and put them in the liquid nitrogen basin.

After counting silently for two seconds, he took out the meat.

I touched it lightly with my fingertips, the temperature of the tentacles was slightly lower than the body temperature, and the outer sugar shell was slightly hard.

Then, he took a piece of Guyu meat, put it in his mouth, and handed another piece to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang took it, and stuffed it into his mouth as if he was eating candy.

The slightly cool and hard touch gave him the illusion of eating a piece of candy.

But when his teeth fell, the outer thin sugar crust did not do more to block it, only providing a crispy texture, which melted into the saliva and turned into a sweet taste that landed on the tongue coating.

After biting through the sugar shell, the internal sour juice mixed with the meaty aroma overflowed, filling the entire mouth.

The freshly melted sugar juice neutralizes the acid, turning the juice into a sweet and sour compound.

But this heavy taste of sour and sweet does not cover the sweetness of the meat itself.

Even because of their foil, the deliciousness of the gravy itself is more prominent.

Moreover, only the outer sugar shell of this coo meat is slightly cool.

The core and juice inside it still retain a certain temperature, and it is even slightly hot.

Wang Gang chewed carefully, his pupils dilated slightly.

At this moment, he did not speak, but all his senses were already immersed in the delicious enjoyment.

But after Li Yi finished tasting the meat, he shook his head gently: "It's a little colder, there's no need to be so cold." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the two pieces of meat again, put them in the liquid nitrogen, and after a little while, he took them out.

This time, he still took one from his chopsticks.

The warmth of the hand had already made him sure that this time the heat was almost over.

And the hardness from his fingers also told him that the sugar shell was still successfully solidified on the meat this time.

Putting the meat in his mouth, he took a bite of it.

The crispy sugar shell cracked, and the rich sour and gravy gushed out, and it was a little hot to the mouth.

Li Yi exhaled to cool down, savored it, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Handing the other one to Wang Gang, he nodded: "That's pretty much it." ”

Wang Gang took it, put it in his mouth, and took a bite of it, and he also exhaled, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This coo meat is really good!

"Put these grunts in liquid nitrogen and ice for 1.5 seconds, no longer than that."

Li Yi commanded, while continuing to hold the meat with chopsticks and dipping it into liquid nitrogen.

After 1.5 seconds, he took it out again, put it on a plate next to him, and continued to repeat the operation.

Wang Gang swallowed the meat in his mouth, followed his example, and got busy.

A few minutes later, a plate of [crystal pork] like rock sugar hawthorn was served.

Then, there was an exclamation in the courtyard of the front hall.

The hot dish has only been served three times, and it has already amazed the old people three times in succession.

Not to mention that the three dishes are more delicious than the other, and the way to eat them is also more novel than the other.

Seeing that the [Crystal Guyu Meat] that had just been served was also empty, the old people couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the last hot stir-fry that Huang Xiaoming said.

What kind of dish will this last stir-fry be?
