Chapter 593 A soup that looks and tastes great—snake soup! Brother’s advice! [Please subscribe]

"Xubao, does the snake soup take long?"

Shen Jiayue held a chicken foot and ate it slowly. She had eaten too many desserts, and suddenly eating this salty and tempting braised flavor made people feel like her appetite had returned.

Lin Xu said:

"It won't take long. If you are hungry, eat something else first."

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen and started to clean up the snake.

Chen Yan, who was also chewing chicken feet on the side, looked at Shen Jiayue and asked:

"You eat everything like a Cantonese? This is a snake, and it has the same expression as eating chicken or duck."

Shen Jiayue pulled off the tendons from the chicken feet with her teeth and chewed them slowly:

"I am not speciesist. All ingredients are equal in my eyes. Unlike some middle-aged people who say they dislike it, but when they eat it, they want to hold the pot and stuff it into their stomach..."

Chen Yan:?????????

Do you believe that I stabbed your throat with a chicken claw?

But I have never tried snake soup. I have been to the south countless times, but I was too timid to drink it. Now since my brother-in-law made it, let me give it a try.

The flavored snake made in the store last time was very good, and Chen Yan was very happy to eat it.

So now she wants to see if the snake soup is also so delicious.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu took out the snake that Lao Huang had sent in the morning from the woven bag.

There was a snake in the kitchen, and no one dared to take it lightly. Wei Gan put the snake into a woven bag, and then put the woven bag into a glass jar with a lid.

In order to prevent the snake from dying, he specially took the spare oxygen concentrator used in the aquarium downstairs and extended an oxygen tube into the glass tank.

However, Lin Xu had already withdrawn when he came to work.

Regardless of humans or other living things, taking in too much oxygen will cause physical excitement and bad temper.

Although these farmed snakes are not poisonous, Lin Xu does not want to be bitten during operation.

Carefully take out the snake, kill it according to the method taught by your senior brother last time, peel off the skin while the snake is still twisting, and cut it into long sections of about fifteen centimeters.

Rinse the snake segments and put them into the pot, add onions and ginger, add some cooking wine, and start cooking.

To make snake soup, you need to cook the snake meat first, and then tear the snake meat into thin shreds by hand.

While the snake meat was cooking, Lin Xu took a piece of soaked fish maw, cut it into thin strips with a kitchen knife, and soaked it in broth.

Then we prepared shredded fungus, shredded mushrooms and other matching ingredients, which enrich the taste and increase the fragrance, making the snake soup more delicious.

In addition to these, Lin Xu also brought a large piece of chicken breast and cut it into thin strips with a kitchen knife.

Cut into pieces and marinate them with green onion, ginger and light soy sauce. Then pick out the green onion and ginger, add egg white and stir, sprinkle in a little potato starch, and coat the shredded meat with a thin layer of starch paste.

Mix evenly so that all the chicken shreds are covered with starch paste.

Finally, pour in some cooking oil and mix again. This can effectively prevent the chicken shreds from sticking.

Shredded chicken is an essential ingredient in snake soup, which not only enriches the taste, but also makes the snake soup richer and more delicious, making it more delicious.

It is said that in the past, civet was used, the meat was cooked, torn into thin shreds like snake meat, and cooked in stock.

But now that civet cats are fasting, they have been replaced by chicken.

Zhu Yong looked at the peeled off snake skin with a confused expression:

"I always feel some physical discomfort from eating snakes. Can I use other meat instead?"

Lin Xu said:

"Just use eel, the taste of eel is relatively close."

Zhu Yong's expression recovered a lot when he heard about eels. Although snakes are very similar to eels, they give people completely different feelings. They don't have as strong a fear as snakes.

While he was busy, Xie Baomin brought photographer Xiao Jia upstairs.

"Hello, senior brother, have you gone to the photo studio?"

Shen Jiayue said hello.

Xie Baomin said:

"I was originally going to take pictures of the store. I just saw that Xiao Wei posted on WeChat that he was making snake soup, so I came over to have a look. My junior brother was scared to death of snakes last time. Why did he take the initiative to make snake soup now?"<

/p>

Today I originally went to explore a new Chinese restaurant with an average per capita of about 3,000 yuan, but after seeing the news on Moments, Xie Baomin immediately changed his mind.

You can visit the store at any time, but there are not many opportunities to help your junior brother raid the formation.

If I miss it, it’s time for Master to call and scold me again.

Well, the burden of inheriting the sect is all on the junior brother. Although we, Lao Xie, are just watching the fun, we still have to do our best. Otherwise, what will happen if we are expelled from the sect by the master?

With this idea in mind, he drove quickly to Linji Food.

When he walked into the kitchen and saw the peeled snake skin, the twisting snake tail and the nervously twisting snake head, Lao Xie couldn't help but clicked his tongue:

"Awesome, junior brother, do you dare to kill a snake?"

Lin Xu smiled, not very daring. This was just a snake-killing technique that came with the snake soup recipe. With these techniques, he could kill the snake quickly.

"Sooner or later we have to take this step, why not exercise more."

Master has mastered the eight major cuisines. After traveling around the country this time, his understanding and appreciation of local cuisine will probably be deeper. As a disciple, he naturally has to keep up.

In local dishes, you may encounter various ingredients, and you may even encounter ingredients such as cobra.

So now I'm going to use a non-venomous snake to get used to it, so as not to scare me so much that I don't dare to get close when my master teaches me.

Xie Baomin said:

"It's okay to get used to it. If master teaches you how to make Taishi's Five Snake Soup, this will come in handy."

Five snake soup?

Lin Xu asked:

"What kind of snakes are there?"

"Golden ring, silver ring, and spectacles, these three kinds of snakes must be used. Choose any two of water snake, golden snake, and king cobra. The soup made with these five kinds of snakes is called Five Snake Soup. And that one

Taishi is the official position of the inventor."

Krait?

Bungara?

Cobra?

King Cobra?

Lin Xu’s brows twisted into the Chinese character Sichuan.

Let alone making soup, just thinking about these highly venomous snakes made him feel sick all over.

"Senior...Senior brother, it is against the law to eat wild animals!"

Lin Xu feels that although it is important to learn cooking, it is more important to abide by the law and not to trample the law just because of temporary appetite... Besides, facing these kinds of snakes, there is no appetite for food.

If you really put it in front of you, it will most likely cause physiological vomiting.

Xie Baomin smiled:

"You don't have to actually learn it. Once your cooking skills reach a certain level, the master will probably explain the steps, and you should be able to remember them without having to do anything."

This is good, I just know how to do it, there is no need for me to demonstrate it.

There is no need to even tell you how to do it. I redeem it myself with points, and I can directly redeem the method, and even the steps of explanation can be saved.

Eating farmed non-venomous snakes is Lin Xu’s limit.

As for wild venomous snakes, or the famous killer snakes, forget it.

Xie Baomin asked with a smile:

"Junior brother, I was scared to death when I heard about venomous snakes. What are you going to do if I teach you how to make pufferfish?"

River...dolphin?

Not to mention, puffer fish is also a highly poisonous food, but people in the Yangtze River Delta region like to eat it.

Lin Xu said:

"Puffer fish is relatively simple. Just remove all the inedible parts. I'm not afraid of puffer fish. I'm more afraid of snakes."

"Don't be so arrogant. Southerners are very good at eating rats. They even eat live rats. Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Xu: "..."

Senior brother, let’s talk about dinner.

If you really want to talk about this, I suggest you talk to my father-in-law. He has recently lost weight and is suitable to discuss similar topics to reduce his appetite.

Just when I was about to change the topic, the water in the pot boiled.

Xie Baomin walked over and took a look, then lowered the heat on the stove to a minimum, changing the soup in the pot from boiling to barely rolling.

"Snake meat is relatively tender, and cooking it over high heat can easily dry out the meat, so the best way is to stew over low heat."

What’s the point?

Lin Xu set up the wok, poured lard into it, and prepared to oil the chicken breasts.

Chicken breasts are relatively thick, so when cooking them, you need to use lard, so as to increase the plump taste and aroma.

In addition to chicken breast, lard will also be added to snake meat later to enhance the flavor.

For Chinese chefs, lard is a treasure. Many dishes are inseparable from lard, but in daily life, lard is the most disliked fat.
