If I invite him rashly, will it damage my image as the little gourmet prince?

After all, they just praised me.

When Shen Guofu was muttering in his heart, he heard Wei Qian say:

"Do you need my help? Get me a bigger apron and I'll help you. I can't handle other dishes, but pork is basically a problem."

He has been butchering pigs since he was a child and is quite knowledgeable in the cooking of various meats.

Lin Xu didn't refuse either.

I asked the car guy to go to the storage room and get an apron.

Wei Gan washed his hands, put on an apron and started to help.

Just as Shen Guofu was about to go over and praise Wei Gan in a symbolic way, and introduce the sweet and sour pork ribs and twice-cooked pork he made, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was the call from Han Shuzhen's clinic, he quickly chose to answer it.

"Lao Shen, I have a lot of outpatient clinics today. I don't think I can get off work until after six o'clock. You can eat at Xiaoxu's place."

Shen Guofu felt happy.

Ha! I'm in position now.

Watching the live broadcast all morning made me lose weight, so today I have to eat a few pieces of meat to replenish my body, and drink two glasses of wine by the way.

Well, since my wife is not here anyway, I can just find a substitute driver when I go back.

Simple!

Although I am very excited.

But Shen Guofu sighed with regret:

"If I don't eat with you, I have no appetite for anything..."

Han Shuzhen on the other end of the phone was immediately happy:

"Are you still a child? It's so hot. Even if you have no appetite, you have to eat less. By the way, don't eat too greasy. Your uric acid will rise if you don't pay attention. Eat more vegetarian dishes and don't eat meat all the time."

"What kind of meat are you eating? I'll just take a few bites and go back."

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Xu asked curiously:

"Auntie won't let you eat meat again, Uncle Shen?"

Shen Guofu put down his phone and nodded:

"Yes, let me eat more vegetarian dishes...Xiao Xu, are there any vegetarian dishes in our store that will satisfy my craving? I want to satisfy my craving while your Aunt Han is away."

Vegetarian dishes?

Still want to satisfy your craving?

Can't you just say you want to eat meat?

He smiled and asked:

“How about the braised pork?”

Wei Qian next to him was immediately happy when he heard this. Your father-in-law wanted to eat vegetarian dishes, so you recommended the braised pork. Is this a vegetarian dish?

He originally thought Shen Guofu would refuse.

Unexpectedly, the big boss nodded repeatedly and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, let's just make this dish. This is my favorite vegetarian dish. Make more of it. Don't waste vegetable soup. Soaked rice is so delicious."

Wei Qian:??????

Am I acting stupid during today's game?

When did braised pork become a vegetarian dish?

After Shen Guofu decided to eat braised pork tonight, he happily went to play with Dundun in his arms.

Wait until he leaves.

Wei Gan asked hurriedly:

“Is the braised pork in your store vegetarian?”

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"My mother-in-law doesn't let my father-in-law eat more meat, so he calls meat dishes vegetarian. This way he feels more at ease when eating."

Wei Qian: "..."

I learned another little trick to get along with my father-in-law!

Now all I have to do is find a father-in-law.

There is some pork belly in the refrigerator that was not used today.

Lin Xu took out a piece, which weighed about four or five kilograms.

The meat skin has been burned and scraped clean, and is ready to be made.

Braised pork is a home-cooked dish spread all over the country and even abroad. It is very popular because it is simple to prepare and has a rich, fragrant and mellow taste.

Delicious braised pork is best stewed in a clay pot over low heat.

Braised pork like that tastes soft, glutinous, fragrant and delicious.

But there is no time today.

Lin Xu could only choose to use a pressure cooker to make it.

Cut the pork belly into 4cm square pieces and blanch them in cold water.

Blanching can remove congestion and impurities from the meat, making the meat taste more delicious.

And after blanching.

It is easier to stir-fry meat to produce oil.

This kind of braised pork will taste fat but not greasy, lean but not burnt, and your mouth will be filled with fragrance when you take a bite.

When blanching, add onion and ginger to the pot, and then pour in a little cooking wine.

When the water boils and foams, beat out the foam and cook for a few more minutes to thoroughly cook the meat. This way, the meat will not be dry and hard when cooked again.

Remove the pork belly pieces from the pot.

Rinse with hot water.

Then add a little cooking oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, pour the pork belly in and stir-fry.

Stir out the fat in the fat meat and lock in the moisture in the lean meat.

Wei Qian next to him asked curiously:

"The braised pork needs to be colored with sugar to make it look beautiful. Do you want me to fry it for you?"

In fact, Lin Xu planned to put the rock sugar directly into the meat and stir-fry it. When the meat was almost stir-fried, the rock sugar would be completely fried into caramel.

But since Wei Gan wanted to help, he didn’t refuse:

"Okay, then you can fry some for me."

Wei Gan set up the wok, poured a spoonful of water and a little cooking oil into the pan, then put two handfuls of rock sugar into the pan and started to stir-fry over low heat.

I saw Che Zi looking at me from the side.

He smiled and said:

"Let me tell you a little tip. When frying the sugar color, use more water and less oil. In this way, even if you pour cold water on it, the fried sugar color in the pot will not splash everywhere."

The candy colors currently used in the store are all made by Lin Xu.

Che Zai and the others had never heard of such a little trick, so they became interested.

Wei Gan had nothing to do, so he carefully explained to several people the steps of frying the sugar color while frying the sugar color in the pot.

After the sugar melts, not only is the frost forming when it bubbles up, but also the ingredients for sand-and-frost dishes and frosting-like dishes are all added at this stage.

Fry for a while longer. When the sugar turns slightly yellow, it is in the drawing state.

The sugar at this stage is the most viscous and has the best ductility.

If it continues to be fried, it will be glazed. After the sugar is cooled at this stage, it will form a glass-like hard shell on the surface of the food. The candied haws is the representative of glazed sugar.

And finally, when the sugar liquid in the pot turns maroon red.

It's just candy-colored.

After frying to this state, add hot water and pour it in when cooking. It will become the best coloring material, especially for meat. As long as the dishes are ruddy in color, almost all dishes cannot do without the help of sugar color.

As for another coloring artifact that is often used at home - dark soy sauce, it is actually based on light soy sauce and added with caramel color produced by industrial production methods.

The coloring is still the sugar color.
