Chapter 501 Lao Suntou’s unexpected discovery! How does dry and hard fish maw turn into soft and soft Guangdu?(2/2)
"Why should I be angry? Uncle Sun is an old man. You should go. I'll take a look then. If I'm not busy, I'll go with you."
After the news was sent out, Chen Yan said again:
"By the way, my dad said that it's inconvenient for you to take the subway to and from get off work. I'm going to buy you a Wrangler. There is a car available. What color do you like? I'll buy it for you directly to save my dad from regretting it."
After witnessing the process of her cousin extorting money from her own father, Chen Yan soon followed Chen Yuejin's example and asked for a Taiwan Wrangler on the grounds that "it's so pitiful for Ren Jie, who has to commute on the subway every day."
Lao Chen was extremely satisfied with his son-in-law Ren Jie. Upon hearing this, he immediately decided to buy his son-in-law a high-end car such as a Land Rover or an X7.
However, Chen Yan felt it was too eye-catching, so she changed it to a mediocre Wrangler.
Buy the car first, and then find someone to modify the seat to improve comfort.
A mobility scooter must be comfortable.
Ren Jie was a little surprised and replied:
"I drove a new car as soon as I came to work in the corps. I was afraid that my boss would think otherwise."
"It's okay. Just explain it clearly. People in your team must be envious of the car that my father-in-law gave me. Tell me the color. If you don't tell me, I'll buy you a pink Wrangler."
Seeing this news, Ren Jie imagined himself launching a pink Wrangler and couldn't help but shudder.
He quickly replied:
"The more low-key the color, the better. Later I will drive to the team to register and get a pass, so that I don't have to be checked every day."
Just after sending the message, it's his turn to make lunch.
Several teammates in the queue asked curiously:
"What's wrong, Ren Jie, you look sad, my father-in-law asked you for a betrothal gift?"
Everyone knows that Ren Jie picked up a girlfriend during the disguised examination. I heard that he got engaged a few days ago, so seeing him frowning now, he thought that the wedding gift had not been discussed.
Unexpectedly, Ren Jie muttered:
"My father-in-law bought me a Wrangler, and I'm worried about it."
Everyone:??????
Oh my god, didn’t you really come to Versailles?
The policeman who asked the question was kicked by his partner behind him:
"If you talk too much, everyone will lose their appetite for such a good meal."
Others greeted Ren Jie one after another:
"Brother Jie, are your wife and sisters gone?"
"Yes, Brother Jie, let me introduce you. You are living a happy life every day. Don't forget your brothers."
"We were doing the exam together and agreed not to have a girlfriend within three years, but you turned out to be lucky and got engaged without saying a word... This can't be justified without two of Lin Ji's roast chickens."
Ren Jie smiled:
"It's okay if you want to eat roasted chicken. I'll ask Lin Xu to make more some time later, bring dozens of them, let the master chef in the cafeteria tear them up, and we can eat them together."
I dare not agree to anything else, but there is absolutely no problem with Lin Kee’s roast chicken.
The next morning, Lin Xu came to the store and saw the Guangdu delivered by Lao Huang.
Seriously speaking, Guangdu is the name from the Central Plains region, and it specifically refers to fish maw that has been soaked in oil. The dried swim bladder of marine fish is called fish maw or fish maw, and it is a famous food ingredient.
The bigger the fish maw, the more valuable it is. The kind that is more than one foot long and wide is said to be worth a house.
There are many ways to eat fish maw, the most common ones in Cantonese cuisine are fish maw with abalone sauce, fish maw in soup, stewed hen with fish maw and other dishes, mainly by making soup or cooking some stews.
However, in the Central Plains region, the method of oiling is used to make the originally dry and hard fish belly rise into a loose and porous sponge shape, and then grilled and other cooking methods are used to make delicious dishes.
The cooked tripe is not only delicious, soft and crispy, but also the first course of a high-end banquet in Henan cuisine, playing a decisive role in the entire cuisine.
"Why do you suddenly want to eat Guangdu, brother? I don't have any good products on hand, and the finished products are not very good, and they are all frozen. So I brought you some of my treasured isinglass, why don't you try to use it yourself?
Oily hair?"
There are well-made Guangdu on the market, which basically use the leftovers from fish maw processing, so the price is low, less than 20 yuan per pack.
However, this kind of Guangdu tastes average and has no flavor. If you want it to taste good, you have to make it yourself.
When making Guangdu, there has always been a saying of "seven parts of the preparation and three parts of the preparation", which means that if the Guangdu is delicious, seventy percent of the effort is in the preparation, but only 30% is in the cooking.
The importance of hair making in the whole dish is evident.
Lin Xu didn't expect that Lao Huang would actually give him such a difficult problem.
He calmly redeemed hair-making techniques from the points mall and said with a smile:
"My mother-in-law wants to eat it, so she took advantage of the time before the year when she was not busy, so she decided to try it... Not only will she make Guangdu, but she will also prepare skin belly again later. Boss Huang can eat more, as there is no fat in it."
The so-called Pidu is an ingredient made from pig skin similar to Guangdu. It has a loose and porous texture and is even more exaggerated than Guangdu.
It can be used for salad, stew, stir-fry, fry, etc. There are many ways to eat it.
When Lao Huang heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"When it's ready, I'll have a taste."
Speaking of eating, Lin Xu remembered that Lao Huang’s wife wanted to eat bait silk, and then said:
"By the way, sister-in-law, don't you want to eat shredded fish? I'll make it when I have time. Although it's not guaranteed to be the original flavor from southern Yunnan, the taste is definitely not bad."
"Okay, then we'll wait and eat."
Taking these fish maws to the kitchen, Zhuang Yizhou smiled and said after seeing them:
"Fortunately, Guo Xinghai didn't come to work today, otherwise he would have gone crazy seeing these fish maws."
Cantonese people like to eat this kind of dried fish maw, and the most common way is to make soup. They are quite critical of the cooking method after it becomes oily, and they feel that it is a waste of natural resources.
What great ingredients for soup, it’s such a waste to have to cook!
Lin Xu put these dried tripes into warm water and carefully cleaned the dust on the surface.
The time for the oil to spread is relatively slow, and the whole process takes more than two hours, which requires two pots of oil, one pot at low temperature and one pot at high temperature.
The process of making the tripe is not difficult. First, soak the tripe in 30% hot low-temperature oil until soft and soak it thoroughly, then put it into 60% hot oil for frying. At this time, the dried tripe will quickly expand into a spongy tripe.< /p>
After the fish maw is fully swollen, put it in oil that is 80% to 90% hot and pass it through until the inside of the fish maw is completely heated and swollen. Only in this way can the transformation from isinglass to Guangdou be completed.
It sounds simple, but each step is very difficult.
Especially for high-temperature frying, if the frying time is short, the internal isinglass will not swell, but if the frying time is long, the outer tripe will be fried and discolored, and discoloration is a taboo in making tripe.
No matter what time, Guangdu requires the color to be as white as jade, neither burnt nor lake.
Once it explodes into color, it will be an irreversible overturn.
Lin Xu washed the isinglass with warm water, wiped the surface moisture with kitchen paper, and then added half a pot of clean, unused lard to the wok.
Guangdu requires a color as white as jade, which places high demands on oil.
Among vegetable oils that are easy to color, corn oil is suitable, but corn oil does not have enough fragrance, so in the end, colorless lard has to be used.
Pour the lard into the pot, and Lin Xu immediately puts the fish maw into the pot.
Adding cold oil to the pot can make the temperature inside and outside of the isinglass the same, and also allow the fish maw to be soaked as softly and thoroughly as possible.
Turn on the stove and turn on low heat.
This step requires the fish maw to be soaked slowly, so you cannot use high heat. You have to use low heat to slowly increase the temperature of the oil in the pot, so that the low-temperature oil can slowly soak into the inside of the isinglass.
If the oil temperature exceeds 100 degrees at this time, the isinglass on the outside will automatically enter the swelling stage, but the isinglass inside will still solidify, resulting in the isinglass being hard on the outside and inedible on the inside.
If you want to hair the isinglass well, you must keep the oil temperature at about 30% and let it rise over low heat until the isinglass becomes soft and shrinks. At this time, you can proceed to the next stage of hair raising.
While Lin Xu was busy in the kitchen, Shen Jiayue held Dundun in her arms and went to Jeep's 4S store with Chen Yan, preparing to choose a Wrangler...
