Chapter 331 Roasted Pepper Preserved Egg (1)

The remaining green peppers in the kitchen were used up promptly.

Even the people in Dali Temple who were "trained" to eat spicy food to a certain extent by Wen Mingtang's dishes are still not very good at eating spicy food.

For most people, this spicy taste is too much to be desired. Since I covet the unique taste that spicy food stimulates my taste buds, I can't bear to let it go, but my body really can't stand it, so I can only eat slightly spicy food.

Therefore, when cooking on weekdays, Wen Mingtang always puts only a little bit of chili pepper in the dishes. Because of this, there is often leftover chili pepper.

Throwing it away is also a waste. Wen Mingtang looked at the remaining green peppers and thought that if they are not used in time, they will be thrown away. In this case, it is better to make the best use of them and make the peppers as the protagonist rather than the decoration. The food is ready.

There wasn't much pepper left, so I was afraid I could only make one dish. However, there weren't many people in Dali Temple who dared to eat this dish, so it was just right not to waste it.

After peeling the preserved eggs, Wen Mingtang took a piece of cotton string, grabbed both ends of the cotton string, and pressed it against the peeled preserved eggs. Cutting preserved eggs with a knife will stick to the knife, and will leave a lot on the knife surface when cutting. , using cotton thread is the most convenient.

Wen Mingtang placed the sliced ​​preserved eggs on the plate, then took an iron skewer, skewered a few green peppers on the iron skewer, and grilled them over the fire.

The sky was getting brighter, and the first wave of servants who entered the public kitchen to eat the morning meal had already entered the public kitchen.

Although it is not the time for the morning meal yet, sometimes if you come early and Master Wen and others have already prepared the morning meal, you can eat the morning meal in advance.

Smelling the aroma of whole grain porridge and fried sesame dumplings, several officers walked to the stage and looked at today's breakfast.

The thick whole grain porridge has been placed in the wooden barrel containing the porridge, exuding dense heat. With a quick glance, you can see that rice, glutinous rice, black rice, barley, red beans, black beans, red dates and other grains can be seen everywhere in the reddish-brown porridge and soup.

On the countertop next to it are the side dishes of the whole grain porridge: for the convenience of everyone, the salted duck eggs are cut into two halves. The oily orange-yellow yolk dyes the white near the yolk with a layer of orange, which is called When people look at it, they immediately think of the taste of salted duck eggs they have eaten. The egg white is as tender and smooth as tofu, and the yolk is oily. It has a soft and gritty texture when eaten. It is extremely delicious even when eaten in an empty mouth.

The pickled pickles are specially taken out and stir-fried in a pan. Compared with the original sour and salty taste, they have a sweeter taste without any hint of sweetness. They are much more fragrant than unfried pickles. . Master Ting Wen said that when the edamame and new bamboo shoots are on the market, add these things and fry them with Xiancai, and the taste will be quite delicious. But now, the fried pickles are already very fragrant.

The pickles are specially fried, and so are the diced radish on the side. The yellow-brown diced radish has an attractive sheen on the outside. When you chew it, it has a crispy texture. When you chew it carefully, it has a hint of saltiness. With a slight sweetness, it is a great side dish to go with a meal.

In addition to porridge, what is accompanying the porridge today is something called sesame dumplings that the glutinous rice dumpling master is frying. The sesame dumplings taken out of the oil pan are golden yellow, with a layer of white sesame stuck to the surface, and they are round and round. The appearance looks quite cute.

Especially when I look at the small and cute appearance of the sesame balls on the counter that have not yet been cooked, compared with the ones that have more than doubled in size after being cooked, I don’t know why, but I always find this comparison quite interesting.

The small size of the sesame balls looks similar to the glutinous rice balls, which is the name of the glutinous rice dumplings maker. However, the way they are made after being served on the counter is completely different from the ordinary glutinous rice balls.

"Master Tangyuan, can you get the food for the court now?" Several servants said hello to the glutinous rice balls fried with sesame balls behind the counter. The corner of their eyes turned to Ah Bing, who was holding the spoon behind the counter and had the power to "distribute the food for the day."

Ah Bing is at the time when his body is growing. In the past year, because of the good food, he is jumping up like a stick, and his whole body is much taller. In addition, Wen Mingtang is squatting behind the stove at this time. Grilled peppers, so few of them didn't see Wen Mingtang for a while.

Hearing this, A Bing immediately looked at Tangyuan, who was frying sesame balls and nodded. Then he took the bowls and plates and started to serve porridge for several people and get the needed side dishes.

Today, you can get three fried sesame balls per person, but for most people who don’t have a particular preference, of course, one of each is hollow, bean paste-filled, and sesame-filled.

When the servants carrying the trays had finished taking the porridge, sesame dumplings and favorite side dishes and were about to leave, A Bing, who had finished dividing the dishes, sat down to rest. Wen Mingtang, who had been blocked by his figure, also appeared in front of everyone at this time. In front of you.

"Master Wen?" The few guards who were about to leave paused, and their eyes subconsciously fell on the "thread pepper skewers" in Wen Mingtang's hand.

Master Wen didn't know if he was addicted to "barbecuing", but he actually used iron skewers to grill even the condiments and seasonings such as chili peppers.

Of course, Master Wen eats spicy food, so it’s not impossible to eat chili peppers with empty mouth, but the chili peppers signed...

For the servants who do not cook, it is difficult to distinguish the various types of peppers, so they call them all "chili peppers". Now, the original green skin of the peppers on the sign has been burnt black. It is obvious that Master Wen has The "roasted pepper" is really "scorched".

The officers looked at Wen Mingtang, who was holding an iron pick, looking up at them, greeted them with a smile, and quickly reminded him: "Master Wen, your special skewers are burnt."

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he was not anxious at all. He leisurely looked at the blackened skin of the pepper on the iron pick, and said with a smile: "What I want is the taste of the roasted pepper."

While he was talking, he felt that it was almost done. Wen Mingtang walked to the stage holding the iron pick and took off the "burnt" string pepper on the iron pick.

Several servants had not left yet. Looking at Wen Mingtang's plate of sliced ​​preserved eggs on the counter, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Master Wen, is there a side dish made of preserved eggs this morning?"

When Master Wen first made the preserved egg thing, the special smell made many people unbearable. Even those who were not so repulsed by the smell looked at the brown transparent preserved egg "white" The dark green egg core is also a bit daunting.

This weird taste, strange color, really doesn't look like it can be eaten. However, later, Master Wen used the preserved eggs to make preserved egg and pork porridge, which tasted quite good.

But even if you don't object to preserved egg and pork porridge, some people asked Master Wen for a preserved egg and tried to eat it empty-mouthed. After taking one bite, he was immediately scared away.

Since then, apart from being made into pork porridge, preserved eggs have never appeared alone.

Now, looking at the preserved eggs that have been cut and arranged on the plate, Master Wen clearly intends to use them for cooking alone. Just looking at the preserved eggs is already a bit unbearable, but along with the preserved eggs are Master Wen's bunches. Burnt chili peppers, can these two things really taste good together?
