Chapter 215 How can Wo Wotou be so delicious? The eel version of eel in black bean sauce!
"Well... I'll just say it!"
Shen Baobao immediately picked up Lin Xu's cell phone and sent a message to Guo Xinghai.
Not long after, I received a reply:
"Compared to eel, eel has a more earthy smell. It will be much better if you wash it with salt, cooking wine and other ingredients a few times. In addition, when marinating in black bean sauce, don't forget to add minced garlic and white pepper. It will have unexpected effects. ...Why did you suddenly ask this, Lin Xu? You don’t want to secretly test me, do you?”
Wow! It was seen!
"Xubao Xubao, how should I reply?"
Baobao Shen found it very funny. One of them asked the question and the other answered the question, and both of them understood what the other meant... Wait, why do they have such a tacit understanding?
"Tell him that I have nothing to do today to make eels. When I think of this, I just ask."
After knowing how to make it, Lin Xu felt confident and immediately started to prepare the dipping sauce for eating the steamed buns.
In the past, eating steamed buns was just for filling your stomach, so there was nothing particular about it.
However, modern people eat steamed buns either as snacks or to lose weight. When paying attention to nutrition, they will also find ways to improve the texture and taste of steamed buns.
This gave rise to dips and side dishes.
Different places have different ways of eating wowotou. Some places use chili oil, some places use garlic sauce, and some places use stir-fried grandma's dishes.
What Lin Xu wants to make now is a Central Plains-style dipping sauce.
This dipping sauce is based on farm-pickled watermelon bean paste, stir-fried with garlic, spicy millet, chili pepper, dried chili pepper, scallions, and other ingredients.
The taste is salty and delicious, super appetizing with rice.
Others don’t know, but Lin Xu has never been tired of eating it since he was a child.
After preparing all the ingredients, Lin Xu went to the jar in the storage room and scooped out half a bowl of watermelon bean paste made by his second uncle Shi Wenming.
This scene made Baobao Shen curious:
"With so many ingredients, the sauce should be delicious?"
Lin Xu pinched the girl's collagen-filled face and said with a smile:
"At least it will give you an appetite."
After serving the watermelon bean paste.
He directly set up the wok and started making it.
Pour a little more peanut oil into the pot than usual for cooking.
Heat the oil, first pour the dried chili segments in the bowl and stir-fry to bring out the aroma of the dried chili peppers. Then add the green onion segments, chili peppers, spicy millet and chopped garlic, and start stir-frying. p>
Fry until cooked, pour in the scooped out watermelon bean paste, and then add two small spoons of white sugar into the pot.
A lot of salt has been added to the watermelon bean paste when it is pickled, so you only need to add white sugar when frying. In addition to neutralizing the saltiness, white sugar can also increase the umami flavor of the dipping sauce.
After adding the sugar, turn down the heat.
Simmer over low heat to boil out the fermented mold smell in the sauce, leaving only the aroma of the sauce. This way, whether it is dipped in steamed buns, steamed buns, or served with porridge, it will be addictive.
"Wow, my grandma also made this kind of dipping sauce when I was a kid, and I could eat two rolls every time..."
Baby Shen smelled the delicious soy sauce aroma and immediately became interested.
Lin Xu said while stirring the pot with a spoon:
"If you want to eat it from now on, just tell me and I will cook it for you."
"Thank you Xubao."
Shen Baobao hugged Lin Xu's waist from behind and rested his head on Lin Xu's shoulder. After four years of guarding him, he finally felt Xu Bao's fiery and warm response.
Thank you for letting me experience all the beauties of life.
When the young couple was getting tired, Chen Yuanyuan's voice came from outside the kitchen:
"Is breakfast ready? I'm really hungry..."
Seeing her younger siblings hugging her cousin tightly, Sister Yuanyuan, who was feeling very hungry, burped unconsciously.
"Go on, I...I didn't see anything."
After saying that, Sister Yuanyuan, who was alone, went to play with Dundun.
"Dundun, call Auntie!"
Dundun: "..."
There is an aunt who is a fool in the capital, but I didn’t expect that there is an aunt who is a fool in my hometown.
This is too difficult!
After being interrupted by Chen Yuanyuan, Shen Baobao was so embarrassed that he quickly let go.
Lin Xu continued to stir in the pot.
When the watermelon bean sauce is first poured into the pot, the oil and sauce are separated.
But after frying and stirring, the fat has been fully integrated into the sauce, and the originally slightly thick sauce has become a little thinner.
Stir-fry for a while, and as the water content decreases, the sauce in the pot becomes thick again.
When the aroma of the sauce becomes more intense, turn off the heat and use a spoon to transfer the fragrant sauce into a large bowl.
This bowl of watermelon bean paste that many Central Plains people dream about is ready.
In addition to the watermelon bean paste, Lin Xu also used minced garlic to make a portion of garlic sesame oil and a portion of spicy oil to enrich the variety of wowotou dipping sauces as much as possible.
After everything is done, the steamed buns in the steaming cabinet have also been steamed.
After stopping the fire and steaming for two minutes, pull out the steaming tray from the steaming cabinet.
Place the steaming tray on the workbench, fasten it with another steaming tray, and lift the two ends with Baby Shen to flip it over, then remove the cage cloth, and all the steamed steamed buns will be dried in the new steaming tray.< /p>
After drying out all the corn grits, the corn grits are ready.
Baby Shen ran to the visitor center and called his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and today's breakfast began.
"Well, this bean paste is well made and smells delicious."
After Lin Hongqi came to the restaurant, smelling the delicious bean paste smell, the scene of bringing bean paste to school in cans when she was at school came to mind unconsciously.
At that time, students' families were in dire straits, and a bottle of bean paste would be regarded as a treasure. They would even carry it with them during class, for fear that someone would take it away in the dormitory.
If you lose this, not only will the food for two weeks be wasted, but you will also be scolded when you get home.
Because cans and bottles are precious, relatives will give some as gifts during New Years and holidays. If you lose them, you have to find a way to find them again...
Thinking of the difficult times in the past and looking at the happy scene of the family now, Lin Hongqi felt very emotional.
Life is getting better after all.
"Dad, your porridge."
When he was thinking about it, Shen Baobao brought a bowl of corn grits porridge in front of him, which made Lin Hongqi more satisfied with his current life.
Who would have thought that a child from our Lao Lin family could marry the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital?
Chen Meijuan on the side was also filled with emotion:
"It would be great if we had a jar of bean paste like this when we were in school."
Lin Hongqi smiled and handed her a pair of chopsticks:
"What? My mother doesn't cook enough for you?"
When he was in school, Lin Xu's grandfather was a small cadre. Mrs. Lin was also teaching in the school at that time, and her family's conditions were relatively better.
When she was living on campus in high school, Lin Hongqi would share some of the food and drinks she brought from home with Chen Meijuan, the most beautiful girl in the class. Sometimes she would even let Chen Meijuan eat when she was hungry.
The two of them secretly got along.
In that era, students were not allowed to fall in love. Not only would the school punish them, but even the parents of both parties would strongly oppose it.
Chen Meide and Chen Meiliang, who had just started working at that time, heard that a teacher's son was pestering their little sister. They immediately became furious and rode their bicycles straight to the village where the Lin family lived.
I plan to give Lin Hongqi some color and warn him to stay away from my little sister.
The two brothers rode their bicycles for dozens of miles and just arrived in the village, just in time for the Lin family's new house to be built.
The big pot full of fatty meat slices and the steamed white flour buns made the two tired and hungry people ravenous.
The two brothers who were originally looking for trouble suddenly felt that it would be good for the younger sister to follow such a wealthy family, so they put aside their thoughts of beating others, rolled up their sleeves and started to help with the beam.
After finishing the work, each of us ate two large bowls of pot dishes and four large steamed buns.
Mrs. Lin originally disagreed with Lin Hongqi's early engagement. She felt that if Hongqi worked hard, it would be okay to go to college later.
But now the woman is so proactive.
I heard that my family member actually rode his bicycle and traveled dozens of miles to help.
It was really unreasonable not to propose a marriage, so I asked someone to propose marriage, and sent two complete pig hind legs as a gift.
