Chapter 665 Forty-seven practices
After getting the question he wanted to do, Ma Tianyao and the other three cried, especially Shao Hai, who was crying.
I thought to myself, do you two beasts, want to bully people like this? The dishes written by both of them are all new dishes they invented. Although he has tasted them all, he has only tasted them once or twice.
Especially the cold porridge, he tasted this dish by chance when he was traveling to Heishui County, and he didn't care about it at all. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to make it now.
If you want to talk about Shao Hai's tragedy, at least he has tried these two dishes. Xu Jiao is really tragic. She has eaten Shao Hai's iron lion head, but it is the first time she has heard of the cold porridge.
Of course, Ma Tianyao was not much better. She not only had never eaten these two people's specialties, but also had never heard of them. So now she can only pin her hopes in the 2b system recipe collection. If there is no such thing, she can surrender and admit defeat.
Thinking of this, she secretly turned her eyes, touched her chin and frowned, and began to quickly scan the entire list of stored recipes.
[Lion Head is a traditional famous dish in Jiangnan region and belongs to Huaiyang cuisine. It is said that the lion head method began in the Sui Dynasty and has the characteristics of snow-white color, tender flesh, fresh fragrance and mellow flavor, suitable for all seasons.]
The so-called "little head" is actually a big meatball, which looks like a lion's head, and is called a lion's head by the eater according to its shape.
Although it is a big meatball, there are crab meat, crab roe, pork, and seasonings inside the meat. Then put vegetable hearts on it and stew it in a cage.
In the words of the natives in Jiangnan, "The pork is fat and tender, the crab paste is fresh and fragrant, and the heart of the vegetable is crispy and rotten. You must use a spoon to scoop it. After eating, the fragrance fills the mouth and the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant, which makes people unforgettable for a long time."
However, because this lion head is so famous, the lion head is also stored in the recipes stored by Ma Tianyao, like fish-flavored pork shredded meat, tofu brain, etc. The system stores countless versions. She roughly counted and found that there are forty-seven ways to make lion heads.
"Tianyao, have you ever eaten gossip tripe?"
"Uh? What?"
Ma Tianyao was awakened by Ling Yun's voice and quickly retreated from the depths of her brain.
"Tianyao, what's wrong with you?"
"Uh... nothing, by the way, what did you just ask?"
Ling Yun looked at her in confusion, then looked at the bald uncle, and asked the question he had just now.
"I asked you if you had gossip tripe? I just asked the uncle, we had never even seen this dish. If you don't know how to cook it, what will we do this time?"
Ma Tianyao asked in a low voice.
"Uncle, don't you know how to read your mind? You should be able to read the way to gossip tripe, right?"
The bald uncle shook his head depressedly and thrust his mouth towards Xu Jiao.
"I can't read it. She is thinking about how to make cold porridge... she doesn't even think about gossiping tripe. And Teacher Shao is the same. He is thinking about how to make cold porridge, but he is still thinking about how to make gossiping tripe. To put it really makes people laugh. They can't do ours, and we won't do theirs..."
"Haha, it seems that everyone's situation is similar... Then let's bet on luck now, even if you think about it, it depends on who has a high degree of restoration."
"luck?"
The bald uncle and Ling Yun looked at each other speechlessly, then nodded silently.
"That……"
Ling Yun just opened his mouth and wanted to continue asking, but found that Ma Tianyao was touching her chin and seemed to be in deep thought again.
"sky……"
"Don't let her think about it."
Ling Yun wanted to shout again, but was stopped by the bald uncle.
At this moment, Ma Tianyao turned out all the huge recipes stored in her mind, and finally found a unique recipe from the forty-seven iron lion head recipes.
[Branched Iron Lion Head (Special): The method is as follows: first cut the meat into slices, then cut it from slices, and then dice it from the strips...]
"Even if this is not Teacher Shao's version, it won't be bad. After all, this is a special lion head... I did this. Even if I bet wrong, I think it's a very special lion head."
Thinking of this, Ma Tianyao had already made up his mind and began to give orders.
"Go ahead, get the ingredients first."
Seeing that Ma Tianyao had reacted, the bald uncle asked hurriedly.
"Tianyao, which dish should we make first?"
"Be Teacher Shao's iron lion head first! Uncle, it's still the same rule. You go and get pots, pans and other tools, and Lingyun gets the basic materials. I'm responsible for the seasonings."
"good!"
Ling Yun and the others agreed and followed Ma Tianyao into the ingredient room.
"Lingyun, prepare! Lean meat, fat meat, eggs, fresh red lotus root! Then prepare crab meat, crab roe, green beans, and cabbage."
"OK."
Ling Yun nodded, then turned to get what he needed, while Ma Tianyao walked straight to the seasoning area.
He started to take it without thinking.
Refined vegetable oil, rice wine, MSG, salt, white sugar, Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, onion, ginger, starch, etc.
Most of these condiments are used to remove fishy smell and improve freshness. After taking them, Ma Tianyao will look at the bald uncle and Ling Yun again, and both of them will bring out the things.
Only then did she feel a little nervous. When she looked at the bald uncle and Ling Yun again, she couldn't help but smile bitterly again and exhaled to enlighten the two of them.
"Hey, I said... don't be too nervous. Although this dish is a famous dish from Teacher Shao, it is still a lion's head, and we haven't eaten it before."
The bald uncle curled his lips.
"Tianyao, it's different from what we've eaten and made, let alone the difference between what we've done and what Teacher Shao did. You said..."
"Okay, do your best. Don't be too nervous anyway, just follow my command."
Ma Tianyao stopped the bald uncle from saying this, waved his hand and began to give orders.
"Uncle, Ling Yun, now I'm listening to me carefully, let's do the preparations first.
First, chop the lean meat and fat meat into meat paste, mix it and chop it evenly. By the way, you have to chop all the crab meat and roe into it. Then soak the minced ginger and chopped green onion in cold water that just happened to last for 30 minutes, and then pour the water into the meat paste.
Then chop the red-skinned fresh lotus root into paste and pour it into the meat paste. Bring 2 eggs into the meat paste, add an appropriate amount of rice wine, MSG, salt, soy sauce, and sugar.
Drop 7 or 8 drops of Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar, the amount of starch is the key: taking corn starch as an example, 1300 grams of meat paste requires about 30 grams.
Remember, be sure to stir 3 or 4 chopsticks in one direction and never stir backward until it is strong (that is, elastic) and reserve it for later use!
Finally, add 10 grams of starch and add 50 grams of water to make a starch juice and set aside.”
After hearing Ma Tianyao's speech, the bald uncle almost fainted. He scratched his head hard and waved his hand with a dry smile.
"Haha, Tianyao, what you said is too complicated. I can do all the rough work in the front, and the back... how many grams are there? I turn it forward and reverse with chopsticks. This..."
"I will do it myself later. You and Ling Yun will be responsible for the front. By the way, lean meat and fat meat must be chopped very finely. Also, remember that when chopping and mixing crab roe and crab meat, you must mix well with the meat paste."
"Don't worry about this, then let's start quickly!"
"good!"
After the three of them discussed, they immediately started to work hard.
