Chapter 176 Baked lobster with egg yolk! Mrs. Shen’s specialty snack—fried enema! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
"Uuuuuuuuah...how could you do this!"
In the kitchen, the heartbroken Chen Yan soaked the leftover rice with the remaining elbow soup, and while eating, she cried and complained about the excessive behavior of her family and relatives.
I just took a nap in the small living room upstairs.
He actually started eating downstairs without any care.
Haven't you noticed that there is a lovely, beautiful and sexy beauty missing?
"It's so abominable! I will never forgive you... Hiccup!"
"Drink some water, Sister Yan, and stop talking while eating. It's easy to choke."
Shen Baobao thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Chen Yan, but Chen Yan didn't appreciate it at all:
"There is such a big table of food, but I can only eat leftovers..."
As he was talking, Lin Xu placed a portion of freshly made seaweed and egg drop soup in front of Chen Yan:
"Let me see what else is in the refrigerator and make some for you."
Opening the refrigerator, he saw a huge Boston lobster, an extra-large swimming crab, grouper that he didn't bother to eat at lunch, and so on.
Lin Xu was not interested in the swimming crab and grouper.
But this Boston lobster…
Lin Xu thought for a while and took the lobster out.
By the way, I found some salted egg yolks, put them in a bowl and steamed them on the stove.
Well, I have long wanted to try egg yolk baked dishes.
Now that there are ready-made lobsters and ready-made egg yolks, you have to try them both high and low. Anyway, even if the car overturns, the hungry sister-in-law should be able to finish it.
Remove the tails from the lobster and peel out the lobster meat.
Then remove the shrimp meat from the shrimp claws and the shrimp body, and cut them into finger belly-sized dices together with the shrimp tail meat.
Use a little bit of green onion, ginger water and light soy sauce, mix well and marinate, then add corn starch and mix evenly, and finally add a little cooking oil to facilitate spreading when frying.
When ready, pour oil into the pan and prepare to oil the lobster meat.
Heat the oil, put the scattered lobster meat into the pot and fry it. When frying, stir it a few times with a spoon to spread the shrimp meat and prevent it from sticking.
When the surface of the shrimp meat is fried to golden brown, remove and control the oil.
Then put the shrimp heads and tails in and fry them.
Although there is no meat here, it is still very beautiful when fried and presented on the plate.
Fried the shrimp heads and tails and take them out.
Then pour out the oil in the pot, leaving a little base oil.
At this time, the salted duck egg yolk on the stove next to it has also been steamed.
Lin Xu took it out and pressed it with the blade of a knife to crush the salted duck egg yolk into powder.
After pressing, fire again.
After the oil in the pan is hot, pour the salted duck egg yolk in and stir-fry over low heat.
Soon, the salted duck egg yolk, which was originally powdery, began to foam more and more. Lin Xu took the opportunity to sprinkle a few bits of white sugar into the pot.
White sugar can neutralize the saltiness of salted duck egg yolk, making the aroma and umami of the egg yolk more intense.
Stir-fry for another half minute, pour the fried shrimp meat into the pot, and continue to stir-fry.
Wait until the egg yolk hangs evenly on the surface of the shrimp meat.
Turn off the heat and remove from the pot.
Lin Xu put the shrimp meat covered with egg yolk on the plate, and then garnished it with fried shrimp heads and tails.
As soon as I finished my work, I heard the system prompt in my mind:
"The host used existing techniques to make excellent baked lobster with egg yolk, and was awarded the excellent sauce technique - garlic sauce. Congratulations to the host."
Is this okay?
Lin Xu didn't expect that he just had an idea to cook a dish, and actually triggered a reward, and the reward was garlic sauce, which was currently in short supply.
What an unexpected surprise!
In the field of Chinese food, garlic sauce is widely used.
Not only can it be used to make steamed dishes, such as steamed garlic shrimp, garlic loofah and other dishes, but it is also widely used in barbecue, stew, stir-fry and other cooking.
Now there is a recipe for garlic sauce.
Then I'll have to make some to taste it later.
"Brother-in-law, what did you do?"
When Lin Xu was in a daze, Chen Yan couldn't sit still due to the smell coming from here. She walked over and saw the baked lobster with egg yolk, and immediately brought the plate over:
"Thank you, brother-in-law, you are the only one left with a conscience in our family."
Shen Jiayue was talking about Sister Yan's experience in the family group at the moment. When she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but grab her chopsticks and taste them.
"Wow! Shrimp baked with egg yolk is so delicious. Xu Bao, there seems to be some lobster in the refrigerator? Can you make another one tonight?"
"OK!"
I'm having crayfish at night, and now I want to eat baked lobster with egg yolk.
This is forcing my father-in-law's uric acid to rise.
Lin Xu picked up a piece of lobster meat with chopsticks and tasted it.
Well, it tastes salty in the mouth. The egg yolk on the outside tastes soft and sandy, with a rich aroma. The lobster meat inside the egg yolk is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and even has a kind of sweetness unique to shrimp meat.
tasty!
Why isn't it perfect?
Is there something missing in the approach?
Lin Xu was a little confused.
Chen Yan on the side was enjoying her meal very much:
"My brother-in-law's craftsmanship is really impressive, but why am I still so aggrieved!"
Baby Shen quickly coaxed his cousin:
"Okay, okay, my Yanbao is so wronged that he looks like a child in his thirties... You can eat less staple food and just put your foot down. There will be crayfish in the evening."
When Chen Yan, who was feeling aggrieved, heard the word crayfish, her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Really?"
"Yes, my dad didn't enjoy it last time, so he wanted to eat it again today. Anyway, Xubao will be fine in the afternoon. Of course, if you don't want to eat it, forget it."
When Chen Yan heard this, she couldn't care less about her grievance.
I finished the lobster meat on the plate with rice, and then started to look forward to the crayfish in the evening.
"I've suffered so much injustice today, so it's not too much for me to eat fifty, right?"
"Not too much, not too much."
"No, fifty is too few. Let's go with sixty. I will eat sixty crayfish tonight. Who is in favor and who is against?"
No one objected.
After all, not many people are eating crayfish tonight.
You can open it and eat as you like.
After eating and drinking, Chen Yan originally wanted to go to the video room on the first floor to watch an old movie, but she was worried about falling asleep and missing the crayfish at night.
So she had to return to the small living room on the second floor after Lin Xu cleaned up the kitchen.
"You two go in and do what you are supposed to do. Remember to be quiet. I'll keep a lookout for you. Don't forget to call me for dinner when I'm about to fall asleep."
God is pitiful.
Mr. Chen is almost suffering from stress disorder.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Stinky Swallow, I'm just chatting with Xu Bao for a while."
Shen Jiayue took Lin Xu back to her room.
Although she was talking about chatting, she immediately locked the door.
I was disturbed several times.
Now I can finally give my Xu Bao a good kiss.
She turned around and was about to reenact the scene of the female seal attacking the male seal again when she was hugged tightly by Lin Xu and took the initiative to kiss the girl on the mouth.
Well, you can’t be passive defensive all the time.
Occasionally you have to take the initiative.
Only in this way can we firmly grasp the initiative in the war.
"Xubao, you know, I miss you so much every day. I feel panicked when I can't see you."
The two of them rolled onto the bed while kissing.
Shen Jiayue hugged Lin Xu and expressed her thoughts.
When we originally opened the store, we only met twice a day.
But now that Lin Xu has gone to Diaoyutai, he can only see him once a day, and he has to say goodbye in a hurry every time. This is really torturous for Baby Shen.
Lin Xu said:
"After this cooking competition and the engagement, I will take you back to your hometown to live in a scenic spot for a few days so that we can be together every day. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to pack my things now!"
As soon as Shen Baobao heard that he was going to Longqishan Scenic Area, he was immediately ready to get out of bed and pack his luggage.
Haha, I not only want to live in the tent camp where I can see the stars, but also in the Cliff Hotel and the old house where Xu Bao lived.
I still remember that fans gave that house the name Demon King’s Cave.
Hehe, I didn’t expect that I would actually live in the Demon King’s Cave.
But as soon as she sat up, she was pulled back by Lin Xu:
"It's still too early to pack up now, we won't be able to set off for another week."
While talking, the two hugged each other again.
"Yueyue, your clothes are so slippery."
"That's my leg..."
"The clothes were so slippery that they slipped on my legs all of a sudden."
"Hate……"
Four p.m.
Old Mrs. Shen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding chubby Dundun in her arms. Han Shuzhen beside her was telling the old lady interesting stories about Dundun.
"Guofu was snoring while sleeping, so Dundun jumped on the bed and covered his mouth with her paws. As a result, his paws were almost bitten. I called Guofu up. He said that he dreamed of chewing pig's trotters, and that the trotters were all covered with them. The hair was not cleaned at all..."
The old lady smiled from ear to ear.
He quickly hugged Dundun and asked which paw was almost bitten.
And in the kitchen.
Lin Xu, who had slept on Shen Jiayue's bed, was packing up the special crayfish bought by Aunt Liu.
The last time I bought green shrimps from Uncle Yu’s supermarket, the shrimp shells were a little hard, but this time Aunt Liu bought bigger red shrimps.
These shrimps have been washed several times in an ultrasonic shrimp washing machine.
Lin Xu took the scissors and skillfully cut off the shrimp head and removed the internal organs. Then he pinched the scales in the middle of the tail of the shrimp, first rotated it, and then gently pulled out the shrimp line.
After doing this, throw it into the basin and continue to collect the next one.
Aunt Liu bought about ten kilograms of crayfish.
Because he didn't enjoy it last time, Shen Guofu specifically asked Aunt Liu to buy more this time.
The crayfish in this basin weighs at least ten pounds.
It will definitely allow my father-in-law to experience the pleasure of eating all-you-can-eat crayfish.
While busy.
Mrs. Shen walked in:
"Xiao Xu, are you tired? I'm going to make some Beijing snacks, do you want to try them?"
Um?
Beijing snacks?
Are they snacks that are both good-looking and good-looking, such as pea cakes, donkey rolls, kidney bean rolls, and mung bean cakes?
Lin Xu suddenly became interested:
"Grandma, what are you going to do?"
"Fried enema!"
"Fried...enema?"
The names of Beijing snacks are really bold and heavy-tongued.
But Lin Xu really wanted to try it.
Because he has never eaten it.
"Then I'll wait and eat, grandma."
He continued to collect the crayfish.
Mrs. Shen took out a long, gray-colored ingredient from the refrigerator.
Is this an enema?
Doesn't it seem to have anything to do with pig intestines?
Mrs. Shen grew up in the capital and is very familiar with this type of Beijing snacks.
While she was busy, she told Lin Xu the history of the development of fried enema, a snack that was also the process of this snack falling from the royal family to the common people.
Fried sausage originated from fried deer tail in the early Qing Dynasty.
As a rare ingredient, deer tail is delicious no matter how you eat it. The steamed deer tail dish is a favorite among cross talkers.
But deer were not common, and deer tails were even more difficult to find in the capital at that time.
So a clever cook filled the pig intestines with pork stuffing, sliced them and fried them, pretending to be deer tail. It was also well received, and this became the original form of fried sausage.
In the middle and late Qing Dynasty.
The lives of people in the capital have plummeted.
The meat filling was too luxurious, so this fried enema developed a new form.
Starch, red yeast rice flour and other ingredients are stuffed into pig intestines, sliced and fried, then dipped in garlic water and eaten. It tastes good, but the key is that the cost is reduced.
Many families can afford it.
This enema quickly spread and became known as the Big Enema.
"Big enema? What does this mean, grandma? Is there also a small enema?"
Mrs. Shen said with a smile:
"It's true. By the time of the Republic of China, pig intestines had become expensive, and many people couldn't afford it, so they used cheap pig intestines instead. This kind of sausage made from small intestines is called small enema."
As a chef.
Lin Xu has a keen interest in the development and changes of food.
He looked at the enema that Mrs. Shen was cutting in her hand and asked:
"Grandma, why don't you even see pig intestines when you cut this? These seem to be starch pimples, right?"
“Later, during the difficult times, even pig intestines were not available, but people in the capital were greedy, so they just wrapped starch and red yeast rice flour in gauze to look like an enema, and then fried them with cheap pig intestines. Now it’s fried enema.”
Lin Xu didn't expect this dish to have such a rough fate.
In just a hundred years, it has undergone several transformations, and the cost has become cheaper and cheaper, and it has become more and more popular among the people.
When I was feeling emotional.
Suddenly the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"The host listens to the changing process of Beijing's cuisine and triggers the side task [Beijing Snacks]: The host is asked to master more than ten kinds of Beijing snacks within half a year. After completion, he will receive a perfect lottery for Beijing's lost snacks."
Lost snack?
I remember that when I was learning Master’s original dishes, I triggered a mission about a lost dish.
Unexpectedly, a similar mission has been triggered now.
It seems that I will have to research more about Beijing’s snacks in the future.
Fortunately, snacks in Beijing are not that difficult to get.
It shouldn't be difficult to complete this task.
Let’s see what snacks we can get then.
Maybe you can even sell it in the store to make money.
While he was thinking about it, he found that in the task details on the system page, the task progress bar had been updated.
[Task progress: 1/10]
This is?
"It is detected that the almond tofu in the host's hands is a Beijing-style snack, and the mission progress +1."
Can it still be like this?
The difficulty of the task has been reduced a bit.
In front of the stove.
After Mrs. Shen cut the enema.
Put a special slanted pan on the stove and add some lard into it.
After a while, the lard melted and all gathered in the low-lying parts of the pot.
But there is not a drop of oil in the high places.
Lin Xu thought that frying sausage shouldn't be difficult, so he got up and came over to learn while drinking water.
After seeing the scene in the pot, he asked curiously:
"Grandma, why is this pot placed like this?"
"In fact, fried enema is not only fried, but also fried on a high place to fry out the fat inside, so that the enema tastes more crispy."
What about this statement?
Fortunately, I took a look, otherwise I might not be able to make authentic fried enema.
He looked again at the enema the old lady had cut.
All are thin on one side and thick on the other.
Is there any explanation for this?
"It's cut like this to increase the taste. The thin side is crispy, and the thick side is soft. One piece of enema has two textures. Even the old Beijing people will enjoy it after eating an enema."
Lin Xu secretly remembered it in his heart.
soon.
The oil in the pan is hot.
Mrs. Shen put the sliced enema into the oil pan one by one.
While she was frying, Aunt Liu put a garlic mortar on the workbench, grabbed a handful of peeled and washed garlic, sprinkled some salt, and started to pound the garlic.
Fried sausage must be eaten with garlic sauce.
Only in this way can such an ordinary ingredient as enema become delicious.
Aunt Liu said while working:
"Mr. Lin hasn't tried the old lady's skill in making fried sausage, right? It tastes really good."
Mrs. Shen said with a smile:
"This kind of snack that is not available on the table is just a way for poor people to satisfy their cravings. The two siblings, Kuniyoshi and Kunifu, were greedy when they were young. I often made and ate them, so I gained experience."
The sausage in the pot was sizzling and frying.
When the surface is browned, turn it over with chopsticks and continue frying.
This process is slow.
A certain amount of patience is required.
Lin Xu took notes while reading it, and planned to try it out at home when he went back. If he could make it, wouldn't his mission be a step forward?
Before long, both sides of the sausage were fried.
Mrs. Shen used chopsticks to pull the enema to the area where there was no oil in the pot, and continued to fry it.
At this moment, Aunt Liu has already pounded the minced garlic.
The old lady took the mashed garlic in the bowl, poured some cold boiled water into it, stirred it evenly, and then dipped it into the garlic juice for the enema.
No light soy sauce, no vinegar, it’s so simple that it’s unbelievable.
After the sausage in the pot was fried on both sides, the old lady took it out, put it on a plate and handed it to Lin Xu:
"Try it while it's hot and see if you like it."
Lin Xu was not polite. He took it and held it in his hand. He used chopsticks to pick up a piece of enema that exuded the strong scent of lard, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and then put it into his mouth.
"Crack!"
Crispy in the mouth and rich in the aroma of lard.
It was supposed to be very greasy, but the spicy taste of the garlic juice immediately washed away the greasiness of the lard, and it was even slightly appetizing in the mouth.
"Well, it's delicious. Grandma, your craftsmanship is really good. Can you teach me if you have time? I want to learn it."
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised:
"It's too easy, why don't you blow up the rest."
Lin Xu was not polite, washed his hands and exploded.
After he finished frying the pot of enema, he found that there was an update on the task progress on the system page.
[Task progress: 2/10]
Holy shit!
Is this considered mastery?
I obviously helped blow it up.
If you can master it in this way, then this task should be completed quickly, right?
Lin Xu was suddenly full of expectations for the lost Beijing snacks.
When this task is completed, what kind of snacks will you get?
While I was looking forward to it, my phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was actually my senior brother Xie Baomin calling.
As soon as he chose to answer, Xie Baomin's voice came from the receiver:
"Junior brother, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, try to come to Diaoyutai at six o'clock. I have a surprise for you."
surprise?
Lin Xu became curious.
What surprises can there be for senior brother?
