Chapter 791: Preparing ingredients
"The noodles are ready!" After seeing that the noodles had already started to ferment, Qi Ya also looked at Jiang Hai and said to him with a smile.
Hearing Qi Ya's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile, and then decided with her what stuffing to wrap.
When eating dumplings in Northeast China, there are four types of stuffings that are more fillings: one is leek meat, the second is cabbage meat, the third is sauerkraut meat, and the fourth is 3 fresh ones. Let’s talk about leek meat first. Everyone has eaten leek meat. It is said that it is better for men, also known as yang grass.
This thing is quite popular in China, but foreigners do not eat leeks because leeks have a very smelly smell.
Leeks are also called vegetarian meat in Buddhism. People who truly believe in Buddhism do not eat leeks.
Americans also feel that this tastes weird, and the most important thing is that these leeks are particularly prone to worms.
The raw insects are called leek maggots, which are extremely harmful and disgusting, so no one eats this thing in the United States.
Jiang Hai usually likes to eat fried eggs with leeks, so he planted some, but rarely, so he should be a perennial plant. Once he cuts the shards, another shard will grow. However, because it grows too much, it will not be delicious.
The best leeks are from March, and then now, in August, they are no longer delicious.
There is no need to talk about this about cabbage. Everyone knows that cabbage is also planted in Jiang Hai’s manor.
In China, sauerkraut is somewhat different due to the differences between the north and the south. Although sauerkraut in the south is also pickled, the soaked green leaves is also called green vegetables. The old sauerkraut made in the advertisement is this sauerkraut. This is what is mentioned in the sauerkraut, which is used for making sauerkraut fish, sauerkraut vermicelli, etc.
The sauerkraut in the north is sour cabbage. After being pickled, it is sour and delicious. It will not look very refreshing and not too greasy when used to make dumplings. However, Jiang Hai doesn't like eating this thing very much, and there are no sauerkraut now.
That thing was soaked in autumn and eaten in winter.
Dumplings with three fresh stuffing basically refer to leeks, meat and shrimps, but as mentioned earlier, the leeks are not very delicious now.
And the most important thing is that foreigners do not eat leeks, so after Jiang Hai and Qi Ya discussed it for a while, they felt a little troublesome.
Do you have to make cabbage? If it really doesn’t work, you can only make cabbage meat.
"What's the point of sum? We just need to pack whatever stuffing we want, not for it." Hearing Jiang Hai and Qi Ya's words, Hualis Shelley here kept looking at them, and then asked in confusion.
"Uh, that's the best stuffing...what is better to pack?" Hearing her words, Jiang Hai and Qi Ya looked at each other, then smiled with some self-deprecating smile, glanced at each other, and then began to make up.
"We must have pork when eating dumplings. The fish and shrimps here are pretty good, otherwise we can make a cabbage fish, shrimp, and pork?" After thinking for a while, the main ingredient of the dish can only be cabbage, but there are many choices in terms of meat.
I can choose whatever I want. I added cabbage because I was afraid that it would get greasy when it was all meat. Adding some cabbage would make it delicious.
"Okay, I'll prepare these things first, and then call them back by the way, so I'll help you later." Hearing her words, Jiang Hai slapped his forehead and said eagerly. Originally, this proposal was made by him, so naturally he would have to be Zhang Luo. When he thought of this, he wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Qi Ya.
"What's the hurry now? It's noon soon. They'll just come back for lunch later, and just talk to them." Hearing her words, Jiang Hai also scratched his head, as if he was ha, and he was indeed a little too excited.
After a embarrassed smile, Jiang Hai and Qi Ya also studied how to make these dumplings together for a while.
The dumplings are made in different ways and different methods, and the same is called the same. The ones cooked are called dumplings, which are made of noodles. They taste very good with soup and water. After eating them, they will have a bowl of dumpling soup. The original soup is transformed into raw food, which makes it very comfortable.
Steamed dumplings are called steamed dumplings, and they need to use hot noodles. The method of mixing noodles is different.
The dumplings fried in the pan are called fried dumplings. Fried dumplings should also be divided into raw and fried in water. They use dead noodles, which tastes fragrant and crispy, but if you eat too much, the stomach will feel uncomfortable because they are not easy to digest...
After studying it, Jiang Hai and Qi Ya decided to cook part and steam part. Before they knew it, lunch time was also up.
Avra and the others also worked all morning and returned home. After taking a shower, they all prepared lunch together.
While having dinner, Jiang Hai told them about eating dumplings tonight.
Although no one can make dumplings, he is very enthusiastic about eating dumplings, especially Darlena and Marianne.
Last year, Jiang Hai took them with him when he went back to celebrate the New Year. He doesn’t always eat dumplings in the Northeast. After that period of time, they became addicted to eating them, but unfortunately, they never ate them when they came back.
Others have only heard of eating dumplings before, but few of them have eaten authentic ones. Of course, Qi Ya, Qi Jie, Ai Xiaoxi and Feng Yunchen from China all eat them frequently. Now, when they hear Jiang Hai say they want to eat dumplings, they also think about it.
After deciding to eat dumplings at night, everyone started to get busy in batches.
It is naturally Jiang Hai's business to get pork and fish. As for cleaning up and chopping stuffing after coming back, they will leave it to these women.
After lunch, Jiang Hai went to get the ingredients, and he went to get the pork first.
Jiang Hai raised pigs in his manor. I don’t know if he still remembers it. He returned to China in the middle of the year last year.
In addition to getting a lot of Yangtze River swordfish and yellow-lipped croaker, he also got a lot of things on the ground, including meat donkeys from Shandong Province, fragrant pigs from Congjiang, nine kilograms of yellow chickens, sandwo radish, wolf pheasants, and rice...
After the beginning of spring this year, rice and radish have been planted, but it is not yet ripe. Some of the fragrant pigs and chickens have been eaten. The growth rate of chickens is very fast. In China, normal broilers will be slaughtered in one and a half months.
At the beginning, Jiang Hai still remembered that someone had blackmailed Kaifeng cuisine online, saying that it was the white-feathered broiler he used, and it was slaughtered in two months. What kind of chicken could it be? It must have been hormones or something. At the beginning, Jiang Hai was also a keyboardist.
But later he had a distant relative who was from the countryside. When he came to the city to do business, he ate at his house and mentioned this matter when he was talking. Then the man said: It took two months to slaughter, so the chicken is old?
Later, Jiang Hai checked and found out that generally speaking, broilers are from forty to fifty days.
The so-called local chickens raised in rural areas, which are the so-called local chickens and stupid chickens, will be raised for a long time, but basically it will not exceed one year.
These chickens from Jiang Hai are completely roaming chickens, and are basically for fun.
When the eggs are laid, they will be kept. If they cannot be collected in time, they will hatch. If they want to eat, they will kill one to eat.
So chickens killed a lot, but donkeys and pigs didn’t kill too many.
Jiang Hai’s goal this time is those pigs. Among the pigs that Jiang Hai bought, there were many boars and sows, but basically all the boars had surgery and could practice the Sunflower Book, leaving only one breeding pig.
In ancient China, pork was rarely eaten because if a boar did not undergo that surgery, the meat would be smelly and stinky.
So to count it, when China began to eat pork seriously, it started in the Ming Dynasty.
Although it was promoted during the Song Dynasty, there were really not many people eating it. Before the Ming Dynasty, high-ranking officials and nobles had to eat mutton, but beef could not be eaten. It was an important production tool, while ordinary people ate dog meat.
Therefore, there was a saying in ancient times that dog meat was slapped and had the meaning of inferiority as good.
After almost a year of breeding of Jiang Hai's fragrant pigs, it is no exaggeration to say that they are fat and strong.
But this pig is a fragrant pig after all. After being raised for a year, it is not very big. It is not like the old sows with hundreds of kilograms in the countryside. When you go there, you are so fierce that you don’t even have to spare the road.
Jiang Hai's fragrant pig is not big. Basically, there are few such pigs that are over 30 kilograms. However, because the foods eaten here are spiritual, they are not big, but their weight has increased a little, basically about 40 kilograms, but the meat is quite good. Jiang Hai drove a four-wheeled motorcycle outside the fragrant pig nest, and then went in and grabbed an fragrant pig out and killed it by the river. With Jiang Hai's current physical fitness, what's the use of a pig?
Because Jiang Hai did not have the habit of killing pork, blood, internal organs and other things were thrown into the river he dug, leaving only the only pork liver he ate. If he threw it into the river, these things would not be ruined. There were a lot of fish in the river at this time.
In addition to Jiang Hai’s free stock, there are also many eels and the like, which are fun.
After simply packing the pig, Jiang Hai took the pig back first. Qi Ya and the others could naturally pack pork and other things. Then Jiang Hai rode his small four-wheeled motorcycle to the beach.
I sneaked into the sea and caught a lot of abalone sea cucumbers. The food should be chopped and then wrapped in dumplings.
Then he made another salmon and a salmon-filled dumpling. He had never eaten it before. He caught a lot of shrimps because they had to be wrapped in the dumplings. The shrimp that was too big was not good, so they caught some small Arctic red shrimps.
