Chapter 16 Hot and sour shredded potatoes
Wang Yanmei saw her sister-in-law and mother-in-law looking sad, and hurriedly came out to ease the atmosphere and said, "Oh, Xiaoxia's meat is cut, and I still have to rely on you to cook today." ”
Lin Xia cleaned up her mood and took over her sister-in-law's position.
Last night, Mother Lin saw that everyone didn't have enough to eat, so she said to eat again.
Early this morning, Lin Mu went to buy meat and came back, but Lin Xia didn't come back at noon, so the meat was left until the evening.
Lin Xia was not there, although Wang Yanmei and her mother-in-law had seen it once, they were afraid that this piece of meat would be spoiled, and after thinking about it, they felt that they still had to wait for her to return.
When Lin Xia heard this, he quickly began to blanch the meat.
Last time, there was little meat, and I added potatoes to make up the numbers.
This time there was not a lot of meat, and everyone unanimously felt that the potato and the soup bibimbap were a must, and they asked to continue adding potatoes. The texture and taste of the potatoes had conquered the Lin family, and for the first time, they felt that the potatoes could be made so delicious.
Lin Xia moved his hands, pondering in his heart: Why don't she teach her sister-in-law how to do it, if she is not there, her sister-in-law can also do it.
Lin Xia immediately decided: "Sister-in-law, you do it, I'll teach you how to get it." Lin Xia gave up his position and let Wang Yanmei play.
Wang Yanmei didn't expect her sister-in-law to teach her how to cook, Lin Xia didn't hide it before cooking, but when she saw the complicated steps, she knew that there must be skills here.
Catch the ducks on the shelves, Wang Yanmei just got started.
"Boil this meat in a pot under cold water, this is done to cook out the blood in the meat, and ginger slices are added to remove the smell." Lin Xia explained to her sister-in-law while putting ginger slices.
Mother Lin couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw her daughter and daughter-in-law on the side, one plus one studying.
When I thought of my daughter who was about to get married and had to go so far away, my heart was sour, and I hurriedly put aside my reddish eyes.
Wang Yanmei listened to Lin Xia's command, and studied seriously with a face like a great enemy.
Lin Xia cut the peeled potatoes into pieces, put them in the water, and explained to Wang Yanmei: "After the potatoes are cut, they are soaked in water to prevent discoloration. ”
It was estimated that it was delicious, so my sister-in-law added two more potatoes.
There was a lot of meat this time, and Lin Xia felt that there were a lot of potatoes, and he would get tired of eating too much of a dish.
After thinking about it, I had an idea, why don't I make a dish of sour and hot shredded potatoes, Sichuan cuisine is sour, spicy, appetizing and delicious.
Lin Xia immediately picked up the remaining two potatoes and cut them into thin strips, and continued to soak them in water after cutting.
Wang Yanmei saw that Lin Xia's movements were unknown, so didn't she want to put it in the braised pork? Why is it shredded again?
"What is this?"
Lin Xia heard Wang Yanmei ask, and said mysteriously: "Make a delicious dish!" ”
The water boiled, Lin Xia took Wang Yanmei step by step and began to make braised pork.
When Wang Yanmei poured the oil, she felt distressed again, although it was delicious, it was too oil-intensive! But seeing what the sister-in-law said, she was afraid that it would be less and the taste would be worse.
Add water and simmer, all that's left is waiting.
The Lin family came home one after another, and Huzi broke away from his father's hand with an expectant face, and the little short legs ran home quickly.
Lin Jianguo saw his son's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but be helpless, the little sister didn't come back at noon, and Huzi was very disappointed when he didn't see the meat, and he was depressed when he went to school in the afternoon.
On the way back, I kept asking, asking my aunt if she would come back at night, why she didn't come back at noon, and if she would cook meat at night.
Lin Jianguo was so noisy that his head was big, and when he saw that his son had already run home, his father suddenly quickened his pace next to him, and he also had a little expectation in his heart, and hurriedly caught up.
Lin Jianjun, who had just walked into the alley, saw the eldest brother and his father in front of him, and was about to open his mouth to call someone, but he didn't expect his father to suddenly speed up his pace.
Lin Jianjun didn't know why, so he quickly followed and wanted to see what was going on.
Wang Yanmei was looking at the pot intently, full of anticipation, and she didn't know if it would succeed.
Next to her, Wu Fangfang came out when she was cooking, she watched her little sister teach her sister-in-law to cook, although she couldn't get started, but she also listened with a serious face.
She wanted to learn, but the saliva couldn't help but secrete in her mouth, which made her embarrassed but reluctant to leave.
Huzi ran into the kitchen panting and panting, and when he saw that the little aunt and his mother were there, his face smiled with satisfaction.
With a fleshy little face on his back, he was about to rush towards the little aunt with his little short legs.
Mother Lin was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed his back collar.
Huzi was running to find his little aunt with great anticipation, but suddenly found that he couldn't get by.
Turning his head in confusion, he found that his grandmother was holding the back of his neck.
Mother Lin wiped her little grandson's saliva, laughed, and said softly: "The meat is not good yet, wait for grandma." ”
Xiaohuzi didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't break free of his grandmother's big hand, so he could only stay by his grandmother's side.
The man was not yet as tall as the stove, but he stared at the pot as if he could see something.
When the time came, Lin Xia motioned to her sister-in-law to remove the lid of the pot.
Wang Yanmei picked up the lid of the pot and trembled slightly with excitement.
Suddenly, the room was filled with fragrance.
The fragrance wafted in front of Father Lin and Lin Jianguo, who had just entered the kitchen.
After passing by, he floated in front of Lin Jianjun, who had just entered the courtyard gate, and his father's fast pace attracted him, but he didn't expect to be able to catch up.
Lin Jianjun, who smelled the smell, couldn't help but widen his eyes, could this be the fragrance of braised pork that his family talked about?
Sometimes, after helping some repair shops repair the machine, he also ate braised pork when he was entertained, but it smelled like this!
Lin Jianjun walked towards the kitchen with curiosity.
Huzi smelled the fragrance and salivated even more happily, and couldn't help but want to break free of his grandmother's shackles.
Wang Yanmei looked at the meat in the pot, the color was exactly the same as that made by that sister-in-law, the fragrance was attractive, and her face was red with excitement, she didn't expect her to succeed.
Lin Xia looked at it, the color and fragrance were very good, but I didn't know why, Lin Xia could smell it very clearly, and it didn't seem to be exactly the same as what she did before, but seeing that everyone was intoxicated and looking forward to it, she didn't say anything.
Cooking is such a thing as a clear statement, and it is not a store, there is no need to be so perfect, it is normal for everyone to be able to make different tastes.
But everyone was already intoxicated by the smell of meat, and they only felt that it was as fragrant as ever, and their stomachs rumbled uncontrollably.
Lin Jianjun came after the fragrance and entered the kitchen, only to find that the whole family was nesting in the kitchen except for him.
It's not enough, and the kitchen is even more crowded.
Lin Xia looked at it and said directly to her sister-in-law: "The taste is right, you can serve it." ”
When Wang Yanmei heard this, she hurriedly took a big pot of vegetables.
Lin Xia looked at the vacant stove, took the shredded potatoes soaked on the ground, and prepared to stir-fry.
The secret of stir-frying shredded potatoes is to wash off excess starch with water before frying, so that the shredded potatoes are refreshing and non-sticky.
Stir-fry the chili pepper and ginger in the hot oil in the pan until fragrant, introduce the shredded potatoes with a "sting" sound, and stir-fry a few times.
Shredded potatoes should be made with white vinegar, so that the color will be refreshing, but the conditions are not good, there is no white vinegar at home, only aged vinegar, and the sour taste is the same.
Stir-fry a few times again, remove from the pot, and brush and pull the shredded potatoes is a quick dish, and it does not need to be fried for a long time.
When everyone saw Lin Xia's movements, they smelled the sour and spicy smell coming from them, and they only felt that their noses were a little itchy.
The taste is completely different from the braised pork, but it is also domineering and attractive, smelling the sour and spicy fragrance, and everyone spits frantically.
Lin Jianguo's brothers didn't need to be instructed, they directly picked up the dishes and went to the dinner table.
Wang Yanmei and others picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and a group of people moved from the small kitchen to the living room, ready to sit down to eat.
As they did that day, everyone picked up their chopsticks and waited for the meal to begin, and no one had the idea of speaking.
