Chapter 553 A cooking tip every day! Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing such a trick! [Please subscribe]

“This duck meat is so delicious!”

At the dinner table, everyone scooped up the fragrant rice duck from the basin and put it into their mouths. There was duck meat, rice, vegetables, and golden corn kernels.

Take one bite and it tastes delicious.

Uncle Chen Meide said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that ducks can be eaten like this. It's really a great experience."

Dabolin Red Army took a big bite and was not unfamiliar with this dish:

"I've eaten in restaurants before, but it's not as delicious as Xiaoxu's. The rice, the meat, everything is fragrant. I'm so full after this meal that I probably won't even know I'm hungry for most of the day."

This kind of fat-rich and relatively solid delicacy is very hungry.

It stands to reason that people with poor digestion should not eat too much, but now, even the three elderly people can't stop eating, which makes Shen Jiayue more determined to study.

Once you get the hang of it, you can secretly make a big pot and serve it to the dining table unexpectedly. It will definitely amaze everyone.

No, it’s not enough to just amaze the people around you. It will also have to be made into a video so that netizens can see it. In terms of cooking skills, I, Shen Jiayue, am not weaker than anyone else!

Lin Xu ate a few mouthfuls of fragrant rice duck, put a Sixi meatball into the bowl, and ate it slowly with rice.

The meatballs were made on the day we hosted the guests. Minced water chestnuts were put inside. They were fried first and then slowly simmered in the broth. The resulting Sixi meatballs were as soft and delicious as lion heads. You can sip them with your tongue.

Dissolve.

I made a small pot on New Year's Eve, but I didn't finish it. Now I reheat it, and the whole meatballs are trembling, and the softness is even more obvious.

Use a spoon to scoop up a piece and put it into your mouth. It is not eaten at all, it seems to melt directly into the stomach.

When Xiaolei from her uncle's house saw Lin Xu eating a lion's head, she also took one into her bowl, tasted it, and then said:

"My brother's Sixi Meatballs are really delicious. They are much better than those made by my mother. Hers always have a strange smell and are not delicious."

My eldest aunt Qi Xiangzhi didn't bother to eat on New Year's Eve. After hearing what my daughter said, she took a piece from her bowl and tasted it. She felt that she had missed out on the delicious food on New Year's Eve.

"It's just delicious. How did you make it, Xiaoxu? Why do the Sixi meatballs I made have a strange taste?"

Lin Xu asked curiously;

"Put in the cooking wine?"

Thanks to the popularization of unprofessional food bloggers on the Internet, the general public likes to add some cooking wine to any delicacy, but in many dishes, it is not allowed.

Qi Xiangzhi nodded:

"Let it go, can't you let it go?"

"No, all meatballs and fillings, any wrapped ingredients are not suitable for cooking wine, because the odor cannot evaporate and penetrates into the meat."

Second aunt Yao Lina asked:

"Then what should I do if I want to remove the odor if the meat is not too fresh?"

This question made several other elders look at it. Obviously, everyone has encountered similar problems.

The meat I bought was not fresh, so I worried about the smell if I didn’t add cooking wine, but it wouldn’t taste good if I added it.

Lin Xu said:

"It's very simple to add freshness to meat. Peel, core and cut the green apples into small cubes and mix them into the meat. The sourness of the green apples can remove the fishy smell and the sweetness can enhance the freshness. The effect is better than adding cooking wine."

Green apple?

Everyone was a little surprised. They always felt that making meatballs with fruits was a bit strange.

Shen Jiayue, on the other hand, suddenly thought of the last time she fried foie gras, and she said in surprise:

"Isn't this the same as pan-fried foie gras with apples?"

Lin Xu nodded:

"It's almost the same, but the foie gras with apples is mainly to increase the taste, and the apples are added to the meat filling to enhance the freshness and remove the smell... Of course, it is best to buy fresh meat. If the meat is not fresh, soak it in cold water for two hours first to avoid odor.

It can eliminate most of them."

Chen Meijuan is an activist and plans to try it tomorrow.

Lin Xu said:

"Let's finish the leftovers first. Today, some netizens asked me if the lack of new dishes in the past two days means that the leftovers from New Year's Eve are not finished yet..."

Everyone laughed, don’t tell me, they really didn’t finish eating.

But after tomorrow, all the leftover dishes from New Year’s Eve will be wiped out.

After dinner, Lin Xu came to the kitchen. He first put away the pots and pans, then washed the duck soaked in water. He also cleaned the nasal cavity, mouth, armpits, legs and other places where dirt and evil can easily hide.

.

Then take it out and control the water.

It is not suitable to rub salt on the surface of duck meat when there is a lot of moisture. Firstly, the salt will melt more easily, and secondly, the purpose of cleansing the skin will not be achieved.

Use kitchen paper to dry the water on the surface and belly of the duck.

Then put the duck on a large tray, grab a handful of fried peppercorns and salt, and slowly rub it on the duck. After the outside is clean, rub the inside of the abdominal cavity again.

This is actually the same method as air-dried duck, soy sauce duck, preserved duck, etc. It may come from the same source, but there are new methods in the process of development in various places.

Wash all the ducks, put them neatly in a basin, cover them with plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator for marinating.

"How long does this need to marinate?"

Shen Jiayue wanted to eat, so she leaned aside and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xu turned on the faucet and carefully washed the salt on his hands:

"At least it takes a day and a night, just like air-dried duck and soy sauce duck. Don't be anxious, wait slowly."

The biggest cost of pickled dishes is time. If there is not enough time, no matter how good the ingredients are, they will be greatly reduced.

Only by completely following the production process step by step can you reap delicious food.

Shen Jiayue opened her mouth:

"Can you eat it after marinating?"

"No, you have to soak it in salt brine, soak it for two hours, take it out to dry, soak it for another two hours, continue to dry it, marinate it three times and dry it three times, then put it in a pot and cook it slowly at low temperature."

The preparation of salted duck pays attention to rubbing it with cooked salt, stewing it well, blowing it dry, and cooking it thoroughly.

The so-called laolufu means repeated soaking in salt brine.

To cook it thoroughly, you need to cook the duck meat thoroughly in low-temperature water. This can not only cook out the excess salt, but also make the duck meat strong and tender enough.

The reason why people in Jinling have never forgotten this delicacy, even if they go abroad, they want to take two of them, is because this cumbersome method fully brings out the ultimate deliciousness of duck meat.

As a result, if you don’t eat for a few days, you will become greedy.

Shen Jiayue didn't expect it would take so long, and sighed helplessly. She wouldn't be able to eat it until at least the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow.

Lin Xu wiped his hands dry, raised his hands and pinched the girl's face:

"I can't eat the salted duck for now, but I can let you try the elbow scallops later."

These words made Shen Jiayue's eyes suddenly light up:

"Yes, there are still elbowflowers to eat...so what shall we eat tomorrow?"

You're craving for something else before you even have the elbowflower in your mouth?

Lin Xu said:

"Let's make dumplings with wild vegetables tomorrow, and I'll make another high-end Confucian dish that you can't even spend money to eat now - Yipin tofu."

Shen Jiayue blinked:

"Yipin tofu? I have eaten it in an Internet celebrity restaurant. It is fried sea cucumber, shrimp and other ingredients wrapped in tofu and then steamed. It is also decorated with wintersweet flowers made of mushrooms and carrots...it is not delicious."<

/p>

"That kind of thing is not a first-class one. When I do it tomorrow, I will let you know what a first-class official residence is and what is the king of tofu."

There are actually not many high-end tofu dishes.

Wensi Tofu, which is famous at home and abroad, Pingqiao Tofu, which is famous for its knife skills, and Mirror Box Tofu, which stuffs meat fillings into tofu cubes, etc. There are many types.

Being able to carve out a path among these famous tofu dishes and name it Yipin Tofu is not only a sign of confidence, but also a manifestation of strength.

If the taste and texture were not perfect, I would definitely not have chosen this name.

When Shen Jiayue heard Lin Xu's description, she was full of expectations for tomorrow's lunch.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu took a colander and took out the elbow knuckles from the stewed soup, which were wrapped more tightly than rice dumplings, and placed them on the tray.

Shen Guofu, who had just lost completely in the mahjong game, followed the scent to the kitchen and asked excitedly when he saw the flowers:

"Can I eat it, Xiaoxu?"
