Chapter 583: Have You Learned the Four Forms of Crispy White Meat? In Spring, It’s Time to Eat Leeks! 【Please Subscribe】
"Do you understand Mr. Tateyama?"
Lin Xu took the oil pan aside and changed the pan to fry sugar. Taking advantage of the busy break, he asked Geng Lishan.
Anyway, it will be cut out during editing, so I’m not afraid that Mr. Tateyama’s words will be recorded in the video.
"You see, it looks quite simple. I have to practice again when I get back."
The fried crispy white meat has a golden outer shell, which looks quite tempting.
Lin Xu added half a bowl of water and a little cooking oil to the pot, then scooped a spoonful of sugar into the pot and stir-fried slowly over medium heat.
There are three types of fried sugar: stir-fried with water and oil, and stir-fried with water and oil.
The water stir-frying method is easy to master, and each node has obvious changes. It is more suitable for beginners, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the time is slightly longer, and it is not suitable for dishes that can be cooked quickly.
For example, for shredded food, strictly speaking, after the ingredients are fried, they have to be put into the boiled syrup. If you operate it alone, the waiting time for frying with water will be too long.
The oil frying method uses oil to fry sugar. It has the advantage of saving time, but it requires higher cooking skills. It is difficult for non-professional chefs to grasp the changes.
Lin Xu originally planned to use the oil frying method today, but thinking that Geng Lishan was studying next to him, and because this was a tutorial video, not a show-off video, he changed it to the water-oil mixing method.
The time is a little longer than the oil frying method, but it is within the acceptable range.
After a while, the white sugar in the pot slowly became transparent and began to melt.
After it is completely dissolved, it is the first stage of frying sugar, and it is also a step that many people without cooking skills can master - sugar juice.
The so-called sugar juice, to put it bluntly, is to boil sugar, which is relatively simple.
After the syrup stage, the syrup in the pot gradually begins to boil under the action of heat, and dense white bubbles begin to appear on the surface.
Stir slowly with a spoon a few times.
The big bubbles quickly become smaller, and then the sugar juice turns into a white turbid liquid, which is frost.
Later, Lin Xu will make crispy white meat in the form of frost. Theoretically speaking, this is also the original form of the crispy white meat dish. It was first hung with frost. The white in crispy white meat refers not only to pig fat, but also to fat. The layer of white frost hanging on the outside.
But in the first pot, you can't make crispy white meat with frosting, but make crispy white meat with shredded silk.
Among the dishes with sugar, only caramelized vegetables have requirements on the temperature of the ingredients. It is best to put the sugar in the pan right after taking them out of the oil pan. The higher the temperature of the ingredients, the better the carving effect will be.
So the first dish is to make shredded crispy white meat.
As for hanging frost and colored glaze, there is not so much to pay attention to. You can do it at any time, especially hanging frost. It is no problem to do it when it is not hot to the touch.
When preparing several dishes at the same time, you must separate the front and back in advance and cannot cook them all at once.
After boiling for more than a minute, the white syrup in the pot gradually turned golden. This was a sign that the water in the syrup had dried up, and it was also the third stage of sugar boiling, which is the so-called drawing stage.
Soon, when dense golden bubbles appear in the pot, it means it is ready for drawing.
However, Lin Xu did not pour the fried crispy white meat into the pot immediately. Instead, he dipped his hand in the water and then slammed it into the pot.
Then he poured the prepared plate of crispy white meat into it and started to stir the spoon.
Geng Lishan was a little surprised when he saw it, why did he still throw the water away?
Just as he was about to ask, Lin Xu explained to the camera:
"Before adding the ingredients, throw some water in to lower the temperature in the pot slightly, so that the syrup will have a better drawing effect and the cooked dishes will be more beautiful."
Wire drawing has strict requirements on temperature.
If the temperature is low, it will not be pulled out. If the temperature is high, the thread will break and the candied haws will be in the glaze state. Therefore, the temperature of the candied haws must be cooled down slightly, but not too much.
After Lin Xu explained, he reminded again:
"Non-professionals don't need to do this step. I just want to show off, nothing else."
Geng Lishan, who was trying to remember Lin Xu's water-slinging technique and strength:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Xiaoyou Lin, are you planning to let me give you the best skin in the world?
At this time, you are here to be naughty with everyone, you are not stable.
Lin Xu used a spoon to put the syrup on the crispy white meat. When he turned it, the syrup in the pot began to draw strings. By the time Lin Xu put it on the plate, the entire crispy white meat was already covered with golden filaments.
"Everyone should remember to scald the plate holding the shredded vegetables, so that the shredded vegetables can be maintained for a longer period of time. In addition, remember to brush a layer of sesame oil on the bottom of the plate, not too much, as it mainly prevents adhesion."
The silk-drawing syrup has a strong adhesive effect. If you don't apply oil, once the temperature drops, it may be picked up from the table together with the plate.
In order to prevent this embarrassment, it is better to apply some oil.
"Okay, the shredded meat has been made. I will hurry up and make several forms of crispy white meat, so that you can seriously appreciate the charm of the crispy white meat dish."
Lin Xu washed the pot and boiled the sugar again.
This time, in order to save time, he directly used the oil frying method.
When the syrup in the pot began to bubble dense golden bubbles, he served a plate of crispy white meat.
When he finished serving the crispy white meat, the syrup in the pot began to turn amber. This is the fourth stage of fried sugar, which is the glaze or amber state.
The crispy white meat in this state cannot be eaten immediately and needs to be dried.
After cooling, the syrup will develop the glassy texture of candied haws, and taste sweet and crispy.
Lin Xu put it on a tray and put it aside to dry. When the outer layer of sugar began to condense into a hard shell, he put it on the plate.
Then he used the sand-turning technique to make a plate of crispy white meat with frosting.
After finishing this dish, the last form of the crispy white meat is left, which is the crispy batter.
Boil the sugar until it becomes golden and shredded, pour the crispy white meat into it, stir-fry and add it directly to the fried vermicelli and cooked sesame seeds. Hold the basin and shake it quickly to make the crushed vermicelli and cooked sesame stick to the surface of the crispy white meat as much as possible.
Hang it up and place it on a long plate with chopsticks.
Then he put the crispy white meat in the glaze state on the plate. Lin Xu took the camera and took a close-up, and then said to the camera:
"These are the four common forms of crispy white meat. If you are tempted, remember to deduct 1."
At this moment, Shen Jiayue had returned from delivering the rice cakes and was peering in at the kitchen door.
Lin Xu waved to her:
"The baby has arrived just in time, it's your turn."
Shen Jiayue's face was filled with surprise.
Haha, I know you can't live without me!
She stumbled into the kitchen, greeted Geng Lishan first, and then appeared in the camera:
"Hello everyone...Wow! These four dishes are so tempting and beautiful!"
Lin Xu smiled:
"At least I finished greeting the netizens. You were so exaggerated that it seemed like we were acting."
Shen Jiayue smiled, greeted the camera again, then picked up a piece of crispy white meat in a thread-drawing state with chopsticks, and pulled it gently, and a gold thread of more than one meter was pulled up.
"Wow, this silk thread is so beautiful!"
Lin Xu brought her a small bowl of water.
You need to eat shredded silk with clean water. Dip the crispy white meat covered with syrup in the clear water. The syrup will quickly solidify into a glassy state. At this time, the outside will be crispy, but the crispy white meat inside will still be a bit hot.
This is why the shredded dishes come with a bowl of water on the table.
Of course, you can also eat it without dipping it and put it directly into your mouth. At this time, the syrup outside is sticky and has a sweet aroma, while the batter is crispy and the taste is more diverse.
However, if you eat it like this, the syrup will easily stick to your lips or drip on your clothes. If your hair is not tied up, it may stick to your hair. People who don't pay attention will eat in a mess.
Shen Jiayue dipped in water and tasted:
"Wow, this meat is delicious. The outermost layer is like candied haws. The batter inside is crispy, and the meat is very hot... Hey, this meat seems to melt."
The crispy white meat is made from hard fat that will melt in your mouth when you eat it.
And because the pig fat has been pickled with salt, green onion and ginger, this dish suddenly has a hint of salty taste in the sweetness, and the greasy feeling of the dessert dish is immediately wiped away.
Lin Xu took the chopsticks and tasted it, and felt that it tasted really good.
Then I tasted the crispy white meat. The texture became different again. It felt like I had a layer of powdered sugar in my mouth. It was sweet and very comfortable.
"What is this made of? It's so crispy!"
Shen Jiayue sandwiched a piece of crispy white meat covered with fried vermicelli and thought it tasted amazing. It was not only delicious, but also richer in texture and more delicious to chew.
"Those are fried Longkou vermicelli. They are used for decoration. In fact, they can be replaced with other ingredients, as long as they have a crispy texture and can be stuck to the syrup."
After the tasting, Lin Xu turned off the camera, and Geng Lishan came over.
He tasted each one and praised Lin Xu's craftsmanship:
"The crispy white meat is really well cooked. The fat inside doesn't taste greasy at all, and it's very satisfying. It's really delicious."
Lin Xu said:
"Mr. Tateyama, just tell me what you want to eat in the future. I don't have any other skills, so it's no problem to cook two dishes."
"Okay, with what little friend Lin said, I will shamelessly come to you for whatever I want to eat in the future."
While eating, Chen Yan went upstairs. When she saw the crispy white meat was cooked, she took a pair of chopsticks and tasted it too.
"Where's your brother-in-law? Didn't you say you're off the night shift?"
"After eating rice cakes, we went back to the dormitory to rest. We arrested a few people last night, and their team needs to take turns interrogating... I just mentioned the team leader, and I was very angry, and kept telling me not to hold me back."
During the Spring Festival, Ren Jie was finally credited with capturing Cao Liu. Since he had performed more meritorious services, he was promoted to team leader.
In fact, the SWAT team has been trying to poach Ren Jie recently, but the criminal investigation side refuses to let him go.
The two captains were both students of Lao Suntou, so they wanted to do Ren Jie's work through Lao Suntou during the Chinese New Year, so they came to Lao Suntou's house with gifts, but unexpectedly they bumped into each other.
That day at Lao Suntou's house, it is said that the two had an inseparable fight at the wine table. In the end, they both fell drunk and slept on the bed in the guest room holding each other.
After waking up, no one mentioned poaching again.
But before leaving, the special police chief told the criminal investigation chief:
"If you want to bury such a good seedling, I will definitely drive into the Criminal Investigation Corps to rob him."
"Damn it! If I wanted to bury him, I wouldn't transfer him from Haidian to the corps!"
With the leadership protecting him, Ren Jie was full of energy, but he had wronged Yan Baobao.
She gained four pounds during the Chinese New Year because she was free... When she was free, she wanted to eat something but was too lazy to move, so her figure naturally became rounder.
"Yueyue, starting from today, I will go to the swimming pool to swim for two hours every day. They have all lost weight, but I have gained four pounds. I don't accept it!"
Shen Jiayue comforted her and said:
"Maybe your scale is broken..."
Chen Yan flat mouthed:
"I thought so too, until I bought six more electronic scales, all the same... When I weighed the scale this morning, it was already four pounds and one tael..."
"Okay, okay, don't be sad, come and have a piece of meat."
Lin Xu thought it was better to stop coaxing her. If she continued like this, her sister-in-law's weight would become even more uncontrollable.
Geng Lishan on the side said:
"You young people just don't have enough activities. When I was young, I rode a bicycle around. I went as far as Zhengding County to see ancient monuments. I couldn't gain weight even if I wanted to."
When Chen Yan heard this, her eyes brightened:
"Cycling is good. Starting tomorrow, I will ride a bicycle to and from get off work. It's just a good time to exercise and feel the joy of riding."
As the weather gets warmer, it’s really time to add some outdoor exercise.
Keep your body in great shape and lose weight at the same time. Otherwise, what will you do if your body is covered with fat in the summer?
When the time comes, I will have to wear midriff-baring clothes to show off my slender waist. I hope that some of them will have swimming rings on their bodies and pleat them when they sit down...
Once she was in a good mood, Chen Yan felt that it would be okay to eat two more pieces of meat.
Anyway, I will start riding a bicycle tomorrow to exercise. The meat I eat will also become the motivation for pedaling.
The freshly cooked crispy white meat tastes crispy and delicious. The fat inside is not only not greasy, but melts in your mouth. This kind of dish can be eaten by one person in half a plate.
However, Lin Xu didn't eat too much. The steamed cake in the morning was quite solid. After tasting two pieces of crispy white meat, he started to clean up the kitchen, then copied the video to the computer, and started editing the video during the break before lunch.
Shen Jiayue, on the other hand, was in the kitchen, eating delicious crispy white meat while taking photos to spread the poison among her family members, relatives, customers and friends.
Cousin Wenqing, who was holding a basin and eating steamed cakes at home, looked at it and became greedy again:
"Wow, this crispy white meat looks so tempting. Isn't the fat in it greasy?"
"It's not greasy and delicious. Sister Wenqing, do you want to try it?"
"I don't have time. I have to give the little girl a bath later. When I'm not busy in two days, we'll go to the store to eat delicious food and try this crispy white meat."
Geng Lishan tasted a few pieces and said goodbye happily.
He planned to take advantage of the excitement and try it at home.
If it can be done, it will be considered a good talk.
Outside the kitchen, Lin Xu was carefully editing the video he had just recorded. This kind of multi-camera video is very convenient to edit. You only need to align the timeline first, and then you can freely switch lenses for editing.
Half an hour later, the video editing was completed and 4K60 frames were selected for generation. Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu came to the kitchen, looked at Wei Qian and asked:
"What are you going to eat for lunch today?"
Wei Gan said:
"Zhuang Yizhou makes a Shaoxing delicacy, braised pork with dried plums and vegetables. He says it is different from braised pork with plums and vegetables. We are all waiting to eat it."
Braised pork with dried plums and vegetables is a dish similar to braised pork but different. When it is made, dried plums, which are unique to the Shaoxing area, will be put in it. It will absorb a lot of fat during the stew, making it taste salty and delicious, and it goes very well with rice.
In addition to braised pork with dried plums and vegetables, Zhu Yong is also preparing stir-fried water spinach with shrimp paste. Spring is here, so we need to eat more green foods to supplement vitamins.
Although there is only one meat and one vegetable item at noon, which seems quite simple, every dish is a perfect meal, and the employees will definitely enjoy it.
Lin Xu looked around and ordered:
"It seems that new leeks are about to come on the market. Car boy, buy some in the next two days, and ask Lao Huang to send some wood-fired eggs. Let's have a meal of vegetarian dumplings. I haven't eaten them for a while, and I'm very greedy."
As a northerner, although he has eaten several dumplings during the Chinese New Year, Lin Xu never gets tired of eating egg and leek dumplings no matter what time.
Especially the eggs laid by the domestic chickens in the countryside, paired with the short and thick leeks grown in the homeland, the dumplings are so fragrant and fresh that it feels like swallowing half of spring in one bite.
"Eat dumplings, this is so good!"
Ma Zhiqiang said with a smile:
"I haven't been back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, and I haven't eaten dumplings a few times. When you talk about leek and egg dumplings, hey, my mouth is almost watering."
Su Shi once wrote a poem: "I feel the east wind is gradually getting colder, and the green grass and yellow leeks are testing the spring dishes."
Spring is a good time to eat leeks, especially the first crop of leeks. They are thick, rich in flavor, good in taste, and have no strings or residue. They taste better than meat.
In addition to eating dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, leeks can also be blanched and served cold, or stir-fried with river shrimps, stir-fried Qianzhang, etc. Anyway, no matter how you eat it, it tastes extremely delicious.
When Lin Xu came out again, the video had been generated. Lin Xu sat in front of the computer, logged in to his platform account, and chose to upload.
Not long after, this video titled "Is Snowy Bean Paste Not Enough? Let's Try Another High-end Northeastern Dish" passed the review and appeared in the update list.
Netizens who were fishing saw the news and clicked in immediately.
"Damn it, Boss Lin is obsessed with the Northeast?"
"That's right, these two updates are Northeastern cuisine. According to the principle of three things, the next issue will definitely not be Northeastern cuisine. Does anyone want to bet with me?"
"There must be a reason why Boss Lin photographed Northeastern cuisine. The Northeast is most famous for its Siberian tiger, and these two dishes are both ladies' dishes. Plus, they just got married. Could it be that Boss Lin is implying that the wife of the boss is a tigress?"
"The level of nonsense the guy upstairs is talking about is worthy of publishing a book."
"I'll go, crispy white meat? I haven't seen it in twenty years. Thank you Boss Lin for promoting Northeastern cuisine."
"It is indeed rare to see crispy white meat. The last time I had it was at a banquet in the village when I graduated from elementary school. Now my children are going to elementary school."
"Me too. The last time I ate, I was a little boy who had just turned ten, and now I am a mother of two."
"..."
When netizens saw the crispy white meat, some were surprised and some made fun of it.
Lin Xuzheng was watching, and Wei Qian said at the kitchen door:
"The food is ready!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xu immediately closed the computer, washed his hands, and prepared to try Zhuang Yizhou's famous Shaoxing dish - braised pork with dried plums and vegetables!
