Chapter 510 Regarding Bait Silk, How Many Ways Do You Know to Eat It? If You Feel Hungry in the Middle of the Night, Make Red Crispy Chicken! 【Please Subscribe】

Back at the store, Chen Yanzheng "inadvertently" boasted to Shu Yun about catching the suspect.

Ren Jie on the side was speechless. Mr. Chen, his boss, had always fantasized about being a criminal policeman and catching bad guys, but with his big-mouthed style, he had better copy the confidentiality rules a thousand times before talking about it.

After bragging about the process of arresting people, Chen Yan rubbed Dundun's big head again:

"Are you helping Auntie to have such a smooth day today? Little guy, if you really want to increase people's luck, give Auntie a super fortune. Auntie is a layperson and just wants to be a billionaire or something..."

Shu Yun felt sorry for her godson and opened her hand:

"Go on, so what if I give you fortune? Why don't we all grab dolls and scratch lottery tickets? It's useless if we give you a chance. Liu Huaqiang will have to shake his head when he sees it."

Chen Yan: "!!!!!!!!!"

Wow, can you please stop talking about this?

There was once an opportunity to make a fortune in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. Instead, I used it to catch babies. If I was given another chance, I would definitely go into the stock market and shake it up!

Ren Jie comforted:

"You choose to catch the doll, which shows that your childlike innocence is still there and you will always be eighteen."

Chen Yan pursed her lips:

"Although this sounds a little more comfortable, I still want to be a billionaire."

"Sure enough, middle-aged people who are running for four years prefer money..."

Shen Jiayue heard these words as soon as she entered the door and couldn't help but taunted him.

Chen Yan was disappointed and did not refute, but asked curiously:

"Have the settlement procedures been completed?"

"It's done. I'll get my household registration book within a week. Once we have the household registration book, Xu Bao and I will go get our marriage certificate and end our three-month illegal cohabitation."

From illegal to legal, it seems like just one word difference, but in fact it represents the birth of a new family.

Chen Yan was not envious of anyone else, but she was somewhat touched by the matter of receiving the certificate. She touched Ren Jie with her elbow and whispered:

"Did we take the time to get the certificates too?"

Ren Jie couldn't believe his ears:

"Get the certificate? You...you can't wait for the wedding?"

Chen Yan's pretty face turned red:

"The wedding will definitely have to wait, but as a law enforcer, you cannot break the law...it is illegal to live together illegally..."

Ren Jie felt hot in his heart and wanted to pick up Baby Yan and spin him around three times.

But he finally endured it.

Keep a low profile and keep a low profile. It is too inhumane to spread dog food in front of a single dog. It is better to wait until you go back at night and then hug him in circles.

Lin Xu walked to the service desk and picked up Dundun:

"Er smash, from today on, I am from the capital. Come pick out the aquatic products you want to eat and cook you a delicious meal to celebrate today."

I want Dundun to help with the lottery, but I can’t say it explicitly, so I have to find an excuse for extra meals.

When he came to the aquatic area, Dundun looked at it for a while and finally chose a plump-looking mandarin fish.

"Hey, you are very discerning. You know that the mandarin fish is the fattest at this moment, so you want to eat it, right?"

Lin Xu praised Dundun, and then said silently in his heart:

"lottery!"

The lottery board immediately flashed on the light screen in my mind.

After following the lottery drawing process, the system prompts quickly sounded in my mind:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect lost dish - braised three chickens, tea oil duck, and red braised pork!"

Is this a lost dish?

Lin Xu was a little surprised. Of these three dishes, the three-braised chicken was less popular. The tea-oiled duck and red braised pork were not very common, especially the tea-oiled duck, which played a decisive role in Hunan cuisine.

What kind of lost tradition is this?

Just as I was thinking about it, experiences related to the three dishes came to my mind.

Only then did Lin Xu understand what the so-called "lost" meant.

The first is Stewed Three Chickens. This dish requires the salt-dried chicken to be paired with freshly killed young roosters, and pheasant is simmered in a clay pot over medium-low heat. The flavors of the three chickens blend with each other and are rich in umami. .

But in modern society, basically no one does this anymore.

Firstly, it is time-consuming and laborious. Secondly, it is a waste of ingredients. Most importantly, pheasants are difficult to catch and it is illegal to eat them.

But in recent years, artificially raised pheasants can be bought and eaten. Lin Xu thinks that he can make it again to taste it. Salted chicken, fresh chicken and pheasant, three chickens in one, it should be extremely delicious.

After reading the recipe of braised three chickens, Lin Xu read the recipe of tea oil duck.

The so-called tea oil duck is not a duck fried in tea oil, nor a duck fried in tea oil, but a duck marinated in tea oil.

Wash and peel the duck, rub it with five-spice salt and dry it, then press it with a stone slab for two days to squeeze out the excess water.

Then spread it neatly on the bottom of the jar, pour in cooked camellia oil and Sichuan peppercorns to soak, seal and marinate for four months, then steam it in a pot when eating. It is said to be extremely delicious.

According to this tutorial, there is really no similar method now.

Because tea oil is expensive, no one is willing to pour half a tank of tea oil to marinate duck meat that is not expensive.

The dish closest to this method is probably the steamed duck with tea oil. The cooked duck is poured with tea oil and steamed in a pot. It is said to be very delicious.

But in Lin Xu's opinion, the duck soaked in camellia oil for four months should taste more delicious.

I'll try it later when I have time. If I make it now, I can eat it around May Day next year. Maybe it will actually become a delicacy.

As for the last dish of red braised pork.

The method is very simple. Stir-fry the pork in a pot, put it into a clay pot, add sweet noodle sauce and rice wine and simmer until the meat is red in color. Take it out of the pot and eat it.

This dish is somewhat similar to the modern version of Dongpo Pork, but it is also different because there is no sugar or other seasonings in it, and it relies entirely on the sweet noodle sauce to bring out the flavor.

This kind of cooking method has very high requirements on seasoning.

If you add too much sweet noodle sauce, it will be salty and the taste will be strong. If you add too little, the taste will be bland. If you are not careful, you will ruin a pot of meat.

In addition, the use of rice wine is also very particular. It can't be more or less, just as long as it is equal to the meat. First boil it over high heat to remove the alcohol smell, then cover it and simmer it over low heat.

During the simmering process, open the lid regularly to check.

When the meat turns yellow, it means that the simmering time is not enough. If the meat turns purple, it means that the simmering time is too long. It must be rosy in color.

In addition, you should not open the lid of the pot frequently to look at it. If the oil and gas in the pot dissipate, the entire dish will lose its essence and the lean meat will be dry and woody.

Lin Xu feels that the reason why this dish has been lost is probably related to the method.

The seasoning requirements are high, and the simmering temperature is high. However, the result is just a piece of meat like braised pork or Dongpo pork, so it is natural that it will be lost.

If food wants to develop in the long term, it must take the sinking route.

The so-called sinking means that it goes deep into the common people so that they can make it and the taste is not bad at the same time. This kind of delicacy will not be lost.

On the contrary, it is natural that a dish like braised pork, which seems simple but is extremely easy to miss, is lost.

But even though it has been lost, I still have to try to do it again.

The sweet noodle sauce and rice wine braised pork should give you a pure meaty aroma.

After finishing the lost dishes, Lin Xu put Dundun back on the service table. Just as he was about to go upstairs to rest for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Huang walked into the store. Lao Huang was still holding a huge Xuanwei ham in his hand.

"Brother, I heard that the bait has been prepared, so I specially brought your sister-in-law here to enjoy the meal."

Lao Huang is such a fastidious person that he always eats with nothing. Such a whole piece of Xuanwei ham can buy hundreds of bowls of bait in southern Yunnan.

"Okay, then I'll go upstairs and do it."

Lin Xu glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and realized that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was indeed time to prepare dinner.

He took the ham from Lao Huang and quickly carried it upstairs.

He handed the ham to Che Zai and asked him to take it to the warehouse. Then Lin Xu took out the casserole and was about to start making bait.

There are many ways to make shredded bait, and there are at least hundreds of different combinations and ways of eating it in southern Yunnan. However, the relatively classic ones are fried shredded bait and casserole shredded bait.

Fried bait silk also has another name in southern Yunnan, called Dajiujia.

It is said that at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty fled to Tengchong. When he was exhausted, hungry and cold, he ate a bowl of fried shredded bait, which was like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. He blurted out: "What a great rescue!" "

It’s hard to say whether the story is true or false, but Nanming has indeed been active in southern Yunnan for a long time and played a role in promoting the food culture of southern Yunnan.

These core members of the regime and soldiers from Jiangnan and other places in the Central Plains also brought the eating habits of their hometowns with them, making the food in southern Yunnan more diverse.

Even today, the food in southern Yunnan can still be seen in the food from all over the country.

Lin Xu cut some minced meat and stir-fried it with onion, ginger, soy sauce and other ingredients until it was cooked through. This is the meat dumpling that is indispensable for eating shredded meat.

Then he prepared some ingredients, such as braised dried tofu, fried eggs, Xuanwei ham slices, chili sauce and other ingredients. They were all ready and started cooking the shredded bait.

Add water to the pot and bring to a boil, put the bait shreds in and cook.

Taking advantage of this time, put the casserole on the stove, add pork bone stock and bring to a boil. Wait until the bait shreds in the large pot are soft and then put them into the casserole.

Add the minced meat and other ingredients, sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander, and drizzle some chili sauce. This is the most basic version of shredded casserole.

There are no strict rules on how to make bait silk, you can eat it however you want.

At the stalls in southern Yunnan, these ingredients can even be combined at will, with a very high degree of freedom.

Lin Xu brought out the casseroles one by one from the kitchen. Lao Huang and his wife's eyes immediately went straight. Obviously, this taste was what they wanted.

The cooked shredded bait looks a bit like wider noodles.

However, when you eat it in your mouth, you can clearly feel the soft texture and rich rice aroma of the bait silk.

This kind of fragrance and taste is not available in rice noodles, especially industrially produced rice noodles, although the production of rice noodles has increased significantly.

But the rice flavor of the rice noodles itself is gradually fading.

"It's delicious. Brother Lin's craftsmanship is really incredible. Only some remote stalls in southern Yunnan can eat bait silk with this kind of taste and texture."

Mrs. Huang was full of praise for Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

Not only is the shredded bait delicious, but the combination is also very reasonable. For example, the shredded ham may not seem to be a lot, but when you eat it, every bite is full of deliciousness.

Shen Jiayue originally thought that Lin Xu had finally settled down, so it would be too simple to eat this at night.

But after tasting the texture of the bait silk, this girl couldn't stop, especially after eating a few mouthfuls of the bait silk, and then scooping up a little broth from the pot with a spoon and drinking it in sips. This feeling of satisfaction is more satisfying than eating clay pot rice noodles when she was a child. .

Lin Xu took a few chopsticks from Shen Jiayue's casserole and tasted it. It tasted really good, and the silky bait had a soft texture that noodles did not have.

However, he didn't like this kind of soupy food, so he planned to go to the kitchen, get some more shredded bait, and try making a fried shredded bait.

Traditional fried shredded bait requires soaking the bait overnight until soft, then shredding it with a knife the next day, then adding fresh meat slices, eggs, tomatoes, pea tips or cabbage and other seasonings, and frying in hot oil.

But now he only had the bait pieces that Shen Jiayue had smashed before, and there was no time to soak them, so Lin Xu soaked the bait shreds prepared in the morning in hot water and started frying them immediately.

When frying, he not only added more meat, but also added some ham slices.

The fat used for frying shredded bait is also the fat steamed from ham, which is full of the unique fragrance of ham.

The shredded bait has strong water absorption, so water needs to be added during the frying process. Lin Xu changed it to soup made from ham.

Under this premise regardless of cost, the fried bait shreds were successfully produced.

Compared with the casserole shredded bait, the fried shredded bait has a more flexible texture. The shredded bait is also full of the unique aroma of ham, which gives people the feeling of eating fried noodles with ham.

As for the meat slices and other dishes, each has its own characteristics, making the shredded fish even more delicious.

"Oh, I didn't expect fried food to be so delicious!"

Chen Yan was eating shredded fish in a casserole when she saw Lin Xu bringing out several plates of fried food. She couldn't help but pick up a pair of chopsticks and taste it. She immediately liked the taste.

Two different methods use bait silk, but the resulting delicious food has its own merits.

I have to say that bait silk is really a delicious ingredient no matter how you make it.

Mrs. Huang said:

"Actually, it's also delicious when steamed. First steam the shredded bait for fifteen minutes, then mix it with special soy sauce and sauerkraut, and finally pour it with thick soup made from tube bones and chopped green onions. That's it."

Lin Xu originally thought it was the same delicacy as steamed noodles, but he didn't expect that the step of boiling the shredded bait in white water was replaced by steaming it in a basket.

The shredded bait is hard and becomes soft due to the absorption of water vapor during the steaming process. However, because it is not cooked, the texture of the shredded bait will be tougher.

But correspondingly, because it is not cooked, the rice aroma of the bait will be more intense.

This may be the reason why steamed bait shreds are so delicious.

Half past nine in the evening.

Lin Xu was playing games in the study room. Shen Jiayue, wearing a little dinosaur pajamas, walked in with pink cotton slippers.

Then he lifted his porcelain-like long legs to the computer table.

This made Lin Xu, who was originally killing people in the game, suddenly lose interest in continuing to play.

He took off his headphones and asked curiously:

"Have you taken a bath?"

"Xubao, I'm hungry... Those baits are delicious, but I'm not very hungry. I just took a dip in the bathtub and I'm even hungrier."

If you're hungry, tempt me with your big white legs, right?

Lin Xu quit the game and asked with a smile:

"Tell me what you want to eat. I'll go downstairs and cook it for you. I happen to be a little hungry too."

Shen Jiayue put down her legs and sat in Lin Xu's arms:

"I want to eat meat, any kind of meat."

Lin Xu closed the computer, then picked up the girl:

"If you want to eat, just wait patiently, otherwise it won't be you eating the meat, but me eating you."

Shen Jiayue's pretty face turned red:

"Hate it, I'm talking about business, but you're thinking in other ways... Go quickly, I've changed into pajamas too, so you don't keep looking at me like a villain."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ?

Look at my wife, why has she become a villain?

Isn’t it okay for me to covet my own wife’s body?

He came downstairs, originally wanting to show off his skills based on the delicacies drawn in today's lottery, but after looking around, he discovered that there were no pheasants and wind chickens at home, so he couldn't make three-braised chicken.

Tea oil duck is no good either. That thing needs to be marinated for four months, so it won't be available for a while.

There is pork belly, but eating a big piece of meat in the middle of the night always feels sinful.

Let’s make some ordinary dishes.

Lin Xu planned to make the perfect Huaiyang dish - red crispy chicken - which he had gotten from eating melon and watching the theater in the morning.

I happen to have a few chicken legs at home, as well as pork and fresh shrimps. The cooking time of the red crispy chicken does not take long, and you can definitely eat it in your mouth within an hour.

Thinking of this, he took out the chilled chicken legs without saying a word, washed them with salt to remove impurities in the pores, and then rinsed them.

Use a kitchen knife to cut the chicken legs vertically and remove the leg bones inside.

While deboning, the meat on the entire chicken leg has also been completely unfolded.

Place the chicken leg skin side down on the chopping board, and then use a kitchen knife to cut the chicken. This step is to cut off the fascia on the chicken leg.

But be careful not to damage the chicken skin when cutting.

The skin of the chicken must be intact so that the crispy red chicken will look complete, otherwise it will be ruined.

In this way, the chicken legs turned into pieces of skin-on chicken.

After the chicken legs were modified, Lin Xu took another piece of pork belly, peeled it and cut it into minced meat. Then he took out the prawns in the aquarium, peeled the shrimps, and cut them into small pieces.

Put the minced meat and shrimp into a small basin, beat a few egg whites into it, then add chopped green onion, minced ginger, salt, sugar and light soy sauce, stir evenly and beat until vigorous.

Then take the chicken over and place it on the chopping board with the skin still facing down.

First sprinkle a thin layer of starch on the surface of the chicken, spread the meat filling on top, and press it flat.

The purpose of adding starch is to make the meat stick to the chicken more firmly, and to press it is to further bond the meat filling and chicken together.

After this step is done, stir up the remaining egg yolk from the egg whites you just beat, and spread it evenly on the surface of the meat.

Shen Jiayue, who had changed into pajamas, stared blankly at this scene. She didn't expect that chicken could do this. She asked curiously:

"Xubao, can this dish also be made in an air fryer?"

Baby, the air fryer is really not omnipotent... Lin Xugang just wanted to complain about this girl, don't think that everything can be air fried, but suddenly she thought of a similar delicacy, which seems to be really suitable for the air fryer.

He smiled and said:

"You can do it, but you have to replace the chicken."

"What? What should I change it to?"

Shen Jiayue was overjoyed. She just asked casually, but she didn't expect that it was really possible.

"Replace it with mushrooms, remove the roots, spread the meat filling into it, and then put it in the air fryer and bake it for fifteen minutes and it's almost ready."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she immediately rolled up her sleeves.

In this case, let’s show off the skills of Executive Chef Lin Kee!
