Chapter 663 How Delicious Is the Delicate Liver Paste? Dundun Was so Greedy that He Meowed! 【Additional Update 11】
"Baby, it's time to go back. Let's come and play with Xiaobai tomorrow, okay?"
In the ginkgo garden, Dundun was squatting on Xiaobai's back and looking around comfortably, riding on a horse, which made the little guy feel particularly novel.
Although Xiaobai fanned the flames in the fight between Dundun and the second prince, Dundun actually stood on its back and behaved very docilely.
For example, now, it walks very slowly and steadily, looking like it is serving its boss with peace of mind.
Shen Jiayue looked at the time and felt that it was almost time to make liver paste soup, so she couldn't help but urge the little guy to go back. Many people were thinking about today's liver paste soup. What if they went back late and couldn't eat it?
"Meow~~"
Dundun raised his paw and patted Xiaobai. When Xiaobai stood firm, he jumped from the horse into Shen Jiayue's arms.
Xiaobai felt relaxed for a while, turned his face and snorted at Dundun, and walked towards the stable consciously.
After getting used to it, it has become my own home.
The entire park has good food, good housing, and three wives. Apart from taking turns to carry the children around every day, there is nothing to do. It is simply the peak of life.
So Xiaobai Children's Shoes is very satisfied with the current status quo.
"Bye bye Xiaobai, we will come see you tomorrow...Second Prince, you must be obedient and don't fight with Xiaobai!"
Shen Jiayue shouted at the alpaca that was peeping in the distance, told the park staff, and then carried Dundun to the parking lot and drove back.
store.
Lin Xu was worried that the liver paste soup was ready, but Geng Lishan and Cui Qingyuan hadn't come over yet, so he couldn't help but ask:
"How long do these liver pastes need to be marinated?"
Dai Jianli said with a smile:
"This needs to be marinated for about twenty minutes, and then continued to be smashed with the back of the knife. It takes a long time, and it cannot be done in a short time."
Even with clear soup, liver paste soup is still a relatively complicated dish.
Not only the liver paste, but also the liver paste must be smashed several times. The pig liver must be smashed as much as possible and completely separated from the liver fascia.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to prepare for the next squeeze.
Only when it is fine enough to pass through the mesh of fine gauze can it be called liver paste and will it have a delicate and smooth taste.
In fact, he was not idle at this time. Lin Xu planned to make a dish of flame drunken goose for everyone to try, while Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli gave guidance to the chefs in the kitchen.
From the most basic knife skills to the techniques of washing vegetables and the essentials of preparing vegetables, everything is taught.
For those who didn’t know, I thought this was a cooking school class.
Soon, it’s time to marinate.
Dai Jianli picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked out all the onions and ginger in the liver paste. Then he poured the liver paste back onto the chopping board and continued to smash it carefully with the back of the knife.
This step was more cumbersome. In order to improve efficiency, Lin Xu took half of it and also hit it with the back of the knife.
Xie Baomin said:
"This is actually a bit like the concept of molecular gastronomy. Every cell of the pork liver is smashed out, and then arranged and reorganized to become another delicacy with a texture and taste."
Dai Jianli smiled:
"All molecular gastronomy in China come from the same training class. If you want to eat molecular gastronomy, there are only a few famous foreign restaurants that are good. The rest are all IQ taxes."
Domestic molecular gastronomy all uses the same routine. There is no concept of molecular gastronomy that uses technology to change cooking. The most common ones are molecular gastronomy tomatoes, molecular gastronomy cherry foie gras, molecular gastronomy boiled eggs, molecular gastronomy oranges, and molecular gastronomy strawberries. etc.
Regardless of the equipment used, the routines, or the marketing methods, it is all the same routine.
Xie Baomin asked Lin Xu:
"Junior brother, are you interested in molecular cuisine?"
"I'm not interested. I'd better learn Chinese food first. I haven't understood the things passed down by my ancestors yet. There's no point in trying to learn from others."
Lin Ji has always been a traditional Chinese restaurant and does not serve new molecular cuisine, and there is nothing related to the two, so it is better to stay away from it.
After smashing it several times, the liver paste became more and more thin and even flowed along the chopping board.
At this time, Lao Dai asked Lin Xu to stop and poured the liver paste into the basin again.
Compared with the first time when it was pickled, the liver paste at this time no longer looked like pork liver at all, and had completely turned into a blood-colored paste.
Dai Jianli beat five egg whites into the basin according to the amount of pork liver.
He brought over the starch that had been soaked in a non-Newtonian fluid, scooped a spoonful out of it with a spoon, and also put it into the basin containing the pork liver.
After placing it, start stirring in the basin with chopsticks.
This job is relatively simple. Wei Qian took the chopsticks and said:
"Let me come, just to practice my hand strength."
Following Dai Jianli's prompts, he used three chopsticks to stir quickly in the basin in the same direction.
You need to be patient in this step, because the egg white is not easy to break up, and the starch is not easy to be completely dispersed. You have to beat it as much as possible to meet the requirements.
While Wei Gan was beating, Dai Jianli brought a clean stainless steel basin and placed a piece of gauze with a relatively fine texture in the basin.
When it was almost done, he asked Wei Qian to stop, then poured all the liver puree in the basin onto the gauze, then picked up the four corners of the gauze, twisted them together and squeezed them hard.
Soon, a stream of light red juice seeped out from the fine mesh of the gauze and poured into the basin.
The gauze wrapped the liver paste into a big ball, and Lao Dai squeezed it hard. While squeezing, he twisted the four corners of the gauze together to prevent the gauze from cracking.
Under such squeezing, the ball wrapped in gauze became smaller and smaller. When finally no juice could be squeezed out, Lao Xie brought a manual juicer for squeezing juice.
Put the gauze ball in, squeeze it again with a juicer, and finally squeeze out the last trace of juice.
There is less than half of the juice in the basin, which is the liver paste.
The rest of the gauze was like a ball of sand without moisture.
Lao Dai was about to throw it away, but was stopped by Xie Baomin:
"This thing is top-notch nest material. Don't throw it away. Give it to Old Sun later to help him take off his Air Force hat."
Pork liver is a favorite ingredient of fish, and it contains egg white. If you eat such a lump of food, it is estimated that all the big and small fish in the river will be unable to hold it.
After all, what fish can resist this temptation?
"Is this liver ointment?"
Zhu Yong came over and took a look at the basin. He felt that it was a mixture of watermelon juice and milk. It looked red and thick.
Xie Baomin said:
"This stage should be called liver juice. When it is steamed and solidified, it can be called paste."
Dai Jianli rolled up his sleeves and said:
"This next step is a big project, and we need to work together."
He asked Zhu Yong to bring a stack of large plates and a roll of plastic wrap, and said to the chefs:
"Now spread the plastic wrap to the bottom of the bowl, spread it evenly, and make sure there are no missing areas. Apply a layer of powdered lard with a brush. After all this is done, you can put it in the pot for steaming."
Liver paste soup is generally a soup for one person, which requires that when making it, the size of the liver paste should be controlled as much as possible for one person.
The large plate is full, just enough for one person.
Moreover, the liver paste the size of a saucer is put into a soup bowl, and then the clear soup and bamboo fungus are added, which is a perfect match. If there is too much liver paste, it is not soup, and it should be called liver paste rice.
Everyone started to work. Lao Dai brought a steaming plate, put the plate covered with plastic wrap and greased with lard on the steaming plate. After placing it neatly, he used a spoon to scoop out the liver juice in the basin and put it into a large plate. .
Fill it up and replace it with the next one.
All the dishes were filled, and he used a leak-tight filter to skim out the air bubbles on the surface of the dishes. Then he carefully put the steaming tray into the steaming cabinet, closed the cabinet door, and set a six-minute countdown.
If you use a steamer to steam, it will take at least eight minutes to ensure steaming.
However, the air tightness of the steaming cabinet is better and the steam is more abundant. It can be fully steamed in basically six minutes.
Taking advantage of this time, Dai Jianli began to modify the knife on Zhusun, who had good water control.
Cut the bamboo fungus into sections of about two centimeters and put them in a basket for garnishing later when making liver paste soup.
Dai Jianli said while busy:
"There are many ways to modify bamboo fungus. In addition to the common small round segments, there are also round long strips, flat strips, small rhombus-shaped segments, large rhombus-shaped segments, etc. You can choose freely."
After changing the knife, he pointed to his head and said to the cooks:
“When cooking, you must be imaginative and don’t be limited by your own thinking. See more, do more, practice more, and accumulate enough experience. Then you can be creative and creative. This is the same as art. As long as the foundation is laid well. , let yourself go as much as you want."
Soon, the countdown to the steam cabinet ended.
Lin Xu put on heat-insulating gloves, opened the cabinet door, and took out the steaming tray.
You can't always let Lao Dai do it. Since you are following others, you must have a learning attitude.
After taking it out, Lin Xu discovered that the original red juice in the large plate had solidified and turned into a light pink color, which looked very cute.
There are so many dishes arranged neatly, and they look like powders used by girls for makeup.
Zhuang Yizhou said with a smile:
"This color is so kawaii."
Zhu Yong nodded:
"He is a legendary macho fan, but he looks pretty, which is inexplicably pleasing to the eye."
Dai Jianli looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Should we start steaming now, or wait a little longer?"
Now the liver paste is just made. Before it can be turned into liver paste soup, it still needs further steaming.
The steaming this time is to steam it with clear soup and water. It is relatively simple and the time is very short, about ten minutes.
But after it's steamed, you can't wait any longer, you have to eat it while it's hot.
Therefore, this dish usually needs to be cooked when the guests are all present, so as not to miss the best taste.
Lin Xu took out his phone and checked the time. It was almost five o'clock now. He sent a message to Geng Lishan and Cui Qingyuan to ask. When he learned that they would be arriving soon, he said to Dai Jianli:
"Start now, they're almost here."
As soon as he heard this, Lao Dai got busy.
He brought out soup bowls and put the liver paste in the plates.
Because of the plastic wrap and a layer of lard, these liver pastes are particularly easy to release from the mold.
Pour the liver paste into small soup bowls one by one, place two bamboo fungus segments in each bowl, and then add some clear soup.
You don’t need too much soup, just six to seven full.
Mix everything, put the soup bowls into the steamer one by one, and continue steaming for ten minutes.
It's dinner time now, and everyone is busy preparing dinner.
Today's dinner is still pasta, but it's no longer braised noodles, but a stew, paired with oil rolls and steamed buns.
Of course, you can also eat rice, but there is a high probability that no one will eat it, because everyone was a little overwhelmed by the box lunches in the past few days, so they need to eat some pasta to adjust it.
While he was busy, Shen Jiayue stomped upstairs.
"Xubao, Dundun is hungry. Is there anything suitable for him to eat?"
Suitable for Dundun to eat?
Lin Xu took a look and saw that there was really nothing to eat at the moment. Dundun couldn't eat food with seasonings, and the meat prepared in the kitchen basically had seasonings.
He was just about to steam some fish when he suddenly saw a few dishes of liver paste left behind just now.
There was no room in the steaming cabinet, so I left a few dishes so that anyone could steam them later if they wanted to eat.
In this case, why not let Dundun also have a taste of liver ointment.
Anyway, these liver pastes are not flavored yet, just a little bit of innocuous starch, which does not affect the consumption of cats.
Thinking of this, Lin Xu picked up a plate and came to the door. He took out Dundun's eating plate from the cabinet, put the liver paste inside, and handed it to Shen Jiayue:
"Here, bring it over to Dundun to eat."
"What is this pink thing? It looks like powder cake."
"Liver paste, the soul of liver paste soup."
Upon hearing that it was liver ointment, Shen Jiayue was immediately full of expectations for this delicacy.
She carried the plate and came downstairs. Dundun, who was acting coquettishly in Shu Yun's arms, smelled the smell and came over with her head raised. She kept sniffing with her little nose, obviously attracted by the smell of liver ointment.
Putting the plate on the service table, the little guy brought his round head over, stretched out his tongue and gently licked the liver ointment tentatively.
Just when Shen Jiayue thought it wouldn't eat, Dundun immediately plunged into the plate and started eating crazily like a little pig, making bursts of grunting sounds from his mouth.
"How's it going son? Is it delicious?"
The kitten was enjoying the food at this time and didn't even bother to answer. Only the tip of its tail was waving happily.
Shu Yun looked at Dundun's eating appearance and sighed:
"Ninety-five percent of people in China have never eaten liver ointment of this level. Dundun has surpassed most people in terms of diet. No wonder netizens express envy of Dundun's life. Even I envious."
With parents who love him and a good life, such a cat is really enviable.
Shen Jiayue said:
"Dundun earns everything he eats. We are adult cats and have learned how to earn our own food. We are not kittens who eat soft food."
Dundun agreed with this statement. He rubbed his body against Mommy, but did not raise his head. He was still eating with his head down.
Seeing the way it was eating, Shen Jiayue became a little greedy.
While watching, Geng Lishan and Cui Qingyuan came to the store one after another, and Tan Yajun came with them. The big auditor finally had time to come to the store to taste the delicious food.
"Yueyue, let's eat liver paste soup today. Where is your dad?"
Tan Yajun was very surprised. Usually there was delicious food in the store, and he could see Lao Shen's Bentley from afar, but he didn't see that car today.
Has Greedy Old Shen changed his gender?
Shen Jiayue said:
"My father and my mother went to the badminton hall to play, and they had to eat Japanese food outside in the evening... They wanted to make up for the dates they missed when they were young."
Tan Yajun clicked his tongue and said:
"It's really interesting. Then we won't wait for him."
Several people came upstairs and happened to meet Lin Xu who was serving food outside.
"Hey, it's here. Wait, the liver paste soup will be ready soon. You can try more later. Chef Dai made it himself."
After saying that, Lin Xu asked a few people to sit down first, and he returned to the kitchen.
It's almost time to cook the liver paste soup, so don't miss it. After all, this is a critical step in using the cooking learning card, so you can't be careless.
As soon as he walked to the kitchen, Dai Jianli opened the steam cabinet.
He walked over quickly, and while Lao Dai was bringing out the liver paste soup, he muttered silently in his heart:
“Use the cooking study cards!”
Soon, the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Study object: Dai Jianli. Learning content: How to make perfect bamboo fungus and liver ointment soup. Do you want to learn?"
"study!"
As soon as I made my decision, a golden light flashed in my mind.
"Consume a cooking learning card and obtain a perfect high-end Sichuan soup - Bamboo fungus and liver paste soup. Congratulations to the host."
Phew... feel comfortable.
With this soup, cooking high-end dishes will be easier.
If you have time, you can even make a table of clear soup dishes, that is, cook all the clear soup dishes, such as agar agar in clear soup, hibiscus in clear water, chickpea flowers, boiled cabbage, tofu in clear soup and other dishes cooked with clear soup. I don’t know. Can the banquet mission be triggered?
A clear soup banquet is supposedly a type of banquet.
As soon as he said it, Lin Xu planned to prepare for such a banquet tomorrow.
If you can complete the task, complete it. If you can't complete it, you can still enjoy it for your family and friends, and you can also show off your cooking skills.
It’s not a loss anyway.
"Junior brother, how do you feel? Have you learned it?"
Seeing Lin Xu in a daze, Xie Baomin couldn't help but ask.
Lin Xu came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"It's almost there. I've basically mastered the process. But the color of this soup is not bright enough. Wouldn't it be better if I put some emerald green pea shoots or pea tips as decoration?"
When Lao Xie heard this, he immediately looked at Dai Jianli:
"Just read it once and you will learn to draw inferences."
"Brother Lin's talent really puts us to shame."
Lin Xu laughed twice:
"I'm just making random guesses. Now that it's done, shall we start now?"
"start!"
Everyone brought out the soup bowls one by one and as soon as they were placed on the dining table, Geng Lishan and the others couldn't take their eyes away. Tan Yajun even pushed up his glasses for fear of not seeing clearly.
"Hey, this liver paste soup looks very tempting."
"Yes, the soup is as clear and clear as water. You really put in the effort."
"Come on, let's taste it first."
Just as Lin Xuda was about to sit down and have a taste, Shen Jiayue suddenly came upstairs:
"Xubao, do you still have the liver ointment? Give me another one!"
"What's wrong?"
"Dundun couldn't get enough of it after eating one portion, and he's getting angry down there!"
