Chapter 499 Soy sauce meat is really a versatile ingredient! Settlement approval(1/2)
Chapter 499: Soy sauce meat is such a versatile ingredient! The settlement approval was passed, and Lin Xu was confused! [Please subscribe]
The soy sauce meat is very delicious, with rich sauce aroma, salty aroma and delicious taste. You can even taste the slight aftertaste after eating. This taste and firm texture make the soy sauce meat particularly delicious.
But it was midnight after all, so Lin Xu wasn't too hungry. After eating two pieces of meat, he put down his chopsticks.
He set up the wok, poured in the dripping fat from the tray, and simmered it over low heat.
This is done to remove the odor and use high temperature to blend the flavors of lard and soy sauce together, making the fat more fragrant and taste better.
After boiling, take out the fat and pour it into a small bowl.
The next morning.
Lin Xu finished washing and went to the kitchen downstairs to prepare breakfast.
He first cooked the pumpkin porridge for the morning, mixed some noodles for making pancakes, and then took out the tofu skin he brought from the store yesterday.
I originally planned to make tofu skin rolls with meat filling this morning, but now that the soy sauce meat is ready, I will make this tofu skin roll with meat filling next time.
Cut the tofu skin into wide strips, then cut it into slices, blanch it in hot water, take it out and put it in a basket to control the water.
Taking advantage of this time, take out the soy sauce meat you cooked yesterday and cut it into thinner slices with a kitchen knife.
Last night, it was steamed and then cut, which made it easier to cut. But now, the raw meat is cut directly, which is relatively hard, but with this texture, it is easier to cut thinly.
Cut the meat, squeeze out the water from the tofu skin and place it on a plate. Then divide the cut soy sauce meat into two halves and cover half of the tofu skin.
As for the remaining half, steam it with cabbage leaves.
Cut the cabbage into slices with the leaves attached, place it on a plate, and put the soy sauce meat on top.
After both dishes are ready, put them in the steaming cabinet and start steaming.
Taking advantage of this time, he chopped some green onions for making pancakes, then put a large spoonful of flour into the bowl, plus two small spoons of salt and two small spoons of five-spice powder.
Take out the fat that was boiled yesterday, heat it, pour it into a bowl, and mix it into a paste while it's still hot. It becomes the most commonly used pastry for making pancakes.
With the pastry, the pancakes are not only layered, but also have a rich flavor.
While Lin Xu was busy, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan were woken up by Han Shuzhen and went to do gymnastics on the rooftop upstairs. At this time, Lao Shen was already holding a skipping rope and was sweating from jumping.
The more meat you eat, the more exercise you need.
As for the purpose of exercise, it is just to eat more meat.
The biggest motivation why Lao Shen has been able to persist in exercising is actually to eat.
Only by exercising your body well can you eat meat and drink wine happily. If your body breaks down, no matter how much money you have, you can't eat it with your big elbows. What a pity!
In the kitchen, Lin Xu rolled out the relaxed dough with a rolling pin, spread it with the seasoned pastry, sprinkled with chopped green onion, then rolled it up, divided it into dough balls, pinched the two ends and turned it, pressed it into a cake, and used the rolling pin to
Roll into dough.
Heat the pan with oil and put the dough in to bake.
This kind of bread is a very common staple food for northerners and has a strong feeling of satiety.
The pancakes are ready and the exercise upstairs is over.
Lin Xu neatly stacked the pancakes on the chopping board, cut them with a knife, put them in a basket, and then brought down the pumpkin and millet porridge cooked in a casserole.
Finally, the two steamed dishes were brought out from the steaming cabinet.
As soon as the door of the steam cabinet is opened, the delicious smell wafts out. The fragrance of tofu skin is mixed with the deliciousness of soy sauce meat, which makes people appetizing.
The other plate of cabbage even smelled like a stew.
Sprinkle some chopped green onion on the two plates, burn a little peanut oil and pour it on, the aroma will become more intense, and the addition of oil will also make the tofu skin and cabbage leaves taste better.
Bring two plates of food to the dining table, then add the leftover roast chicken and kimchi from last night, and a hearty and delicious breakfast is officially completed.
Shen Jiayue jumped downstairs, took a bite of the pancake on the table, and said with a smile:
"It's delicious. It actually feels like eating meat. It's made with soy sauce meat soup. It's like eating meatloaf... Dad, you didn't eat pancakes like this when you were a kid, right?"
Shen Guofu sat down with a smile, took the porridge from Lin Xu and said:
"It was not easy for me to eat pancakes when I was a kid. At that time, your grandma would steam some multi-grain steamed buns, break them open, put some lard and coarse salt inside, rub them while they were hot, and then take a big bite after the lard melted. It’s the greatest enjoyment.”
Chen Yan took a small sip of the porridge in the bowl, then picked up the pancakes and prepared to eat:
"My mother said in the past that my family was the poorest in the alleyway. People would set off firecrackers during the New Year. Our family couldn't afford them, so we would whip them in the yard with a spinning top whip a few times. If they went off, it would be New Year."
Shen Guofu put a piece of soy sauce meat with tofu skin into his mouth and said while chewing:
"It's Chinese New Year. You'll know it when there's a sound. There are so many people setting off firecrackers. How can God tell who's setting off firecrackers and who's fooling him... Hey, this soy sauce meat and bean curd are not bad when eaten together. Good. Eat it, this is the first time I discovered that it can be paired together like this. This dish is so enjoyable to eat.”
Han Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him:
"As long as there is meat, there is nothing unpalatable in your eyes, right?"
"That's not true. When I was running business in the southwest, I encountered people who ate smelly meat. I couldn't stand it. The taste must be good, but I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart."
When he was young, Shen Guofu also traveled extensively and learned about the delicious food in various places.
He can't eat stinky meat, but he doesn't resist beef soup. He can eat stinky tofu until he's full, but stinky winter melon and stinky amaranth don't catch a cold very much.
Lin Xu said:
"I don't have all the ingredients at home today, and I don't have time to make the beancurd sticks. In fact, there are quite a few vegetables that can be steamed with soy sauce meat."
Basically, all the dishes that can be steamed with bacon can also be steamed with soy sauce meat, such as shredded bamboo shoots, radish leaves, prunes, tofu, yuba, mandarin fish, eggs, seabass, taro, etc.
Moreover, this kind of meat can be used as both a dish and a condiment, making it much easier to prepare than ordinary dishes.
Shen Jiayue was shocked when she heard:
"You can actually make so much food? Xubao, can you make them all and try them all? They all taste delicious."
I never expected that there would be such a long list of dishes that can only be steamed with soy sauce meat. If you add stew, stir-fry, etc., wouldn’t it be even more?
Lin Xu said:
"No problem, as long as you want to eat, we'll do it. It's pretty easy anyway."
It’s simple, delicious and hassle-free, so there’s no reason to refuse it.
Lin Xu picked up a chopstick of cabbage and soy sauce meat. The fat of the meat was completely absorbed by the cabbage, making the meat delicious and fragrant without any greasy feeling. The cabbage was as delicious as stewed meat.
There are no condiments in the cabbage, but after absorbing the sauce of the soy sauce meat, the unique sweetness of the cabbage is brought out. It tastes different from fried or stewed Chinese cabbage.
After breakfast, Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen went to work, Chen Yan went to the company to keep an eye on today's shooting progress, Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, picked up Dundun, and went to the store with Shen Jiayue.
A new day has begun.
The New Year is approaching, and the streets are filled with the spirit of the New Year. On both sides of Yingchun Street, people from the street office are busy hanging lanterns.
Although it is not yet the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the New Year after the Laba Festival. Hang it up early to let people nearby feel the festive atmosphere.
After parking the car, Lin Xu got out of the car with Dundun in his arms. As soon as he walked into the store, he met Shu Yun, Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing who were coming downstairs after breakfast.
"Boss, Brother Feng went to communicate with the village committee where Uncle Shang owns the land. The other party was very arrogant at first. When Brother Feng revealed his identity, he started to build a relationship and said a lot of bad things about Uncle Shang."
After listening to Dou Wenjing's words, Lin Xu asked:
"Brother Feng, do you have any suggestions?"
"His suggestion is to ignore the other party. Anyway, Uncle Shang won't be there after the year. However, he doesn't think you will agree, so he plans to cooperate with Officer Ren to see if he can find any dirty information."
Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
"Let Brother Feng check and try. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's not that we are afraid of trouble. The main thing is that this kind of thing may involve a lot. There is no need for us to wade into such muddy waters."
In the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing, there are many people with hands and eyes as bright as the sky.
On my side, I might provoke some big shot, and when the time comes, I might be unlucky... Eh? Unlucky? With the existence of a luck bug like Dundun, I shouldn't be unlucky on my side, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Xu rubbed Dundun's head.
From the beginning to now, the little guy has never expressed any objection. When Chen Yan said that she was investigating, it even high-fived Chen Yan.
Could it be that that village could really find out something?
But it is a bit difficult for a lawyer and a criminal police officer to investigate this kind of thing, and since everyone has a job, it is somewhat inappropriate to investigate this kind of thing in their spare time.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lao Suntou's voice came from behind him:
"Xiao Lin, is there anything delicious to eat today? It's cold and I can't go fishing. I can't stand or sit at home. I'm almost having trouble with leisure."
Um?
I was worried about investigating the candidates, but I didn't expect that Lao Suntou actually came. Isn't this just a pillow for him if he fell asleep?
Lin Xu said:
"I do have something exciting going on here. Do you want to hear it?"
When Lao Suntou heard this, his originally listless eyes suddenly became full of energy:
"What's the matter, Xiaolin? Tell me, tell me."
"It's like this. We encountered something a little annoying two days ago. As a veteran police officer, please give us some advice."
Lin Xu's original plan was to consult, and if Lao Suntou took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate, he would ask Dundun to add a luck buff to him.
If you don't want to go, or your intention to go is not very strong, then listen to his opinion and see what to do.
Putting Dundun on the service table, Lin Xu, Lao Suntou, Dou Wenjing, and Zeng Xiaoqi, who was joining in the fun, sat at the dining table next to them.
After pouring hot tea, Lin Xu recounted how he met Uncle Shang.
For the old Suntou, who is used to seeing wind and rain, this is just a small matter. He smiled and said:
"Give me the address of that black hole. I've been there for a while. As for the other things, I'll take a look and talk about it. You can form a group and bring everyone in, and we can discuss it among ourselves."
Lao Suntou didn't say anything too serious, but he was obviously moved.
To be continued...
