Chapter 179 An extremely laborious dish on the table - Rock Candy Elbow! [Please give me a monthly ticket]

Xie Baomin came to the kitchen with sugarcane and threw the car keys to Bai Pengbo:

"This shuttle bus accelerates so slowly, and it was almost caught up by Lao Song."

Bai Pengbo showed such an expression:

"Chef Xie, you are not authentic anymore. If Mr. Song knows that it is the means of transportation I provide to you tomorrow, how can I go to his place to have a free meal in the future?"

"Don't hurry up tomorrow, Lao Song will be here soon."

After Xie Baomin finished speaking, he handed the sugarcane in his hand to the helper next to him:

"Pick off the leaves, wash the roots and scrape them off. I'll cook later."

Song Dahai, the executive chef of Building 15, is famous for his bad temper at Diaoyutai. When Bai Pengbo heard that he was coming, he immediately left.

But when Xie Baomin said he wanted to cook with green sugar cane, he immediately stopped:

"Chef Xie, what dish do you want to cook?"

"Rock candy elbow!"

"Then I won't leave. As long as I can eat my elbow, it will be worth it even if Mr. Song beat me up."

Want to make rock candy elbow?

Lin Xu realized it later.

Unexpectedly, my senior brother stole two sugarcane for himself.

You said it earlier.

I said I'm driving there, isn't it better than driving a shuttle?

But do you put sugar cane on the elbow?

I've never heard of this practice.

Not long after.

A man in his fifties came into the kitchen.

He was short and fat, his hair was sparse to the top of his head, and he was completely shiny, leaving only a circle of sparse hair on his temples and behind his head. Moreover, the hair was still trying hard to comb in the middle, which looked a bit funny.

"Hello, Chef Song!"

Bai Pengbo quickly greeted Song Dahai when he saw him.

By the way, I stuffed the keys of the shuttle bus into my pocket, for fear that the chef would find out that he had provided transportation.

However, unexpectedly, Mr. Song didn't pay much attention to him when he came in, and only stared at Xie Baomin:

"When will you need green sugar cane to make rock cane elbows? Isn't Lao Xie Ji fooling me, right?"

No matter how tough or personality the chefs of Diaoyutai are, as long as they talk about cooking, one of them will be counted as another, and their emotions will be immediately mobilized.

Xie Baomin said with a smile:

"You'll know after a look. This is the dish I'm in the box. If my junior brother didn't want to learn it, I wouldn't even want to show it."

Your junior brother?

Song Dahai turned his eyes to Lin Xu.

Since becoming famous in the last cooking competition, Master Lin has become a celebrity in Diaoyutai.

He is even more well-known than Director Liao of the Dietary Department.

Seeing Song Dahai coming over, Lin Xu quickly said hello:

"Hello, Mr. Song, I really didn't expect that my senior brother would go to your place to borrow sugarcane to teach me how to cook. I'm really embarrassed."

You are really brothers... Song Dahai muttered a few words in his heart, and then said with a smile:

"It's okay, I'm just playing tricks, you can use it if you want it."

Xie Baomin next to him immediately beat the snake and said with a stick:

"I heard that you don't have a junior brother? Next time I want to use sugarcane, just go to Building 15 to pull it. Remember to pick the ones that have been watered, so that it is easier to pull it out."

Song Dahai: "..."

Damn, you really don’t treat yourself as an outsider.

Soon, the sugarcane was cleaned.

Xie Baomin cut the sugarcane into segments and tasted the sweetness. Then he left the sugarcane close to the roots, which looked about four or five sections.

Finish these.

Start preparing the ingredients to make rock candy elbows.

There are many people today.

Xie Baomin directly took four pigs with even heads from the cold storage and came out.

Then we prepared spices such as green onions, ginger, star anise, pepper, bay leaves, cinnamon, angelica, and other spices, as well as a whole bowl of rock sugar.

Wow!

So much rock candy?

Although the rock candy elbow that Lin Xu ate at the Shen family was quite sweet, he still couldn't believe it when he saw such a large bowl of rock candy.

Is this dish sugar or elbow?

Xie Baomin said:

"The Rock Candy Elbow is a classic Shandong dish and one of the famous Jinan three cubits. It uses a lot of sugar, so it can be said that it relies entirely on rock candy to enhance the flavor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Dahai next to him added:

"The amount of sugar used in this dish is different in the north and south. In the north, there is 200 grams of rock sugar with one elbow, and in the south, it is more, almost 250 grams."

He saw that Xie Baomin was indeed teaching Master Lin to make rock candy elbows.

Then he put away his thoughts and explained it.

In a few days, Master Lin will represent Diaoyutai to participate in the cooking competition. If this dish is available, wouldn’t it be used?

However, the chance of making elbow subcategory dishes is not very high.

After all, this dish is too much effort.

Lin Xu was still secretly shocked:

Good good.

One elbow with half a pound of rock candy.

If you take this mouthful, your blood sugar will not soar to double digits?

Xie Baomin boiled a pot of water.

Put the elbow in after the water boils.

When the water in the pot boiled again, he took it out of the pot with a colander.

Lin Xu was a little confused and didn't understand what this was.

Is this boiling water?

Is this too casual?

Song Dahai said from the side:

"This is tight pig skin. Put the pig skin in hot water and blanch the stubble inside, which makes it easier to clean up."

Just before putting it in.

Lin Xu saw that the surface of his elbow was smooth.

After blanching in boiling water, he found that there were indeed fine stubble on the surface of these elbows, as if they had not shaved for two or three days.

Learn another tip for dealing with elbows.

Xie Baomin used kitchen paper to wipe the moisture on the surface of his elbow, then burned it to the pig's skin with a spray gun.

This is actually burning the skin. Using high-temperature flames to burn all the pores and sweat glands on the surface of the elbow, it not only reduces the odor, but also makes the elbow skin firmer and more delicious.

But with the extra step of tightening the skin, the effect of burning the skin becomes better.

Soon, all four elbows were burned to a dark color.

It also emits a burning smell of hair.

Xie Baomin put his elbow into slightly hot hot water, picked up a steel wool ball that had just been unpacked and washed it.

soon.

The elbows, which were originally covered in black and gray, were washed clean.

Then start the oil in the pan and start oiling the elbow.

The oil will be hot for a while, Xie Baomin was idle and took a sharp knife to remove the thin end of the elbow, which is the fascia connecting the joints of the pig's trotters.

Song Dahai couldn't help but exclaim:

"I've done this step with great care."

Pay attention to it?

Is there anything to say here?

Lin Xu asked curiously.

Song Dahai said:
