Chapter 761 This is cooking! It's obviously more tiring than unloading cement!(2/2)
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the origin of this historical name.
In addition, due to the influence of "gentlemen are far away from the kitchen" in the past, those who were literate did not cook, and those who cooked were illiterate. The names of the dishes were all figured out by the educated people themselves, and many times they had nothing to do with the dishes themselves.
For example, in the Huaiyang cuisine "General Crossing the Bridge", it was originally just one fish and two meals, with half cooking and half making soup. However, the name "General Crossing the Bridge" was given, which made people confused for a while.
After it became famous, this practice of eating two dishes with one dish has even formed a bridge cuisine, such as bridge ribs, bridge crucian carp, bridge tofu, etc., which have more spin-offs than "Breaking Bad".
"La la la, la la la, I am a little expert in cooking..."
Shen Jiayue wielded the mallet and beat the pork on the chopping board happily. She had good physical strength, so she was not like those "Lin Daiyu" on the Internet who couldn't unscrew bottle caps. Instead, she found it very fun.
You can make delicious food just by waving your arms. This is simply delicious food prepared for people with weak foundation like us.
Lin Xu stood aside and watched for a while, feeling that everything was normal. Just as he was going to inspect the big kitchen, Shen Jiayue asked:
"Please finish explaining the next steps, so that I won't have to figure out what to do later."
"Just keep smashing it. When you see the white fascia, remember to pick it out. Flatten the meat and scrape it into a pile with a knife before continuing to smash it. The longer the smashing time, the better."
In fact, longer is not always better, but people who do it for the first time will most likely give up halfway through.
In fact, Lin Xu didn't have high hopes. He even planned to change it to Fuding meat slices later. It was all minced meat anyway, so it was normal to change it to Fuding meat slices.
However, in the Fuzhou cuisine system, this kind of delicacy braised with minced meat is not called Fuding pork slices, but flat meat, and is usually eaten with noodles.
At the door of the kitchen, Chen Yan poked her head and took a look. She thought that her cousin would forget about making meatballs today, and she was ready to ridicule her.
Unexpectedly, I started to work now, and I am more active than the workers who rely on their wages to pay off their mortgages.
Lin Xu walked out of the small kitchen and saw Chen Yan coming over, and asked curiously:
"Didn't you shoot a documentary about the state banquet today?"
"It's been filmed, but now the full responsibility has been given to Xiaoqi. She transferred Hao Qingfeng to the program team, plus the director from CCTV, it's enough."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Jiayue in the small kitchen:
"Can she really do it? She won't hurt herself, right?"
"No, it's not difficult."
After Lin Xu said this, he went to the big kitchen to inspect the work and held a meeting with the staff of the roast duck department. Yesterday's roast duck was an instant hit, but he should not be proud, because there should be more people coming here today.
Everyone comes to eat roast duck with great expectations, and a mistake may be magnified infinitely.
At this time, colleagues in the industry are also holding magnifying glasses and waiting to find faults. Once they find any flaws, they will quickly buy Hot Search and have a blast.
You have big bosses protecting you so you can't throw dirty water, but if you cause problems yourself, don't blame us for adding fuel to the fire.
Ning Xiaoli said:
"Don't worry, after each roast duck comes out of the oven, I will personally look at it and make sure it is OK before serving it to customers."
As a descendant of the Ning family, coming to Lin Ji to work means cooperation between the two parties. If there is a flaw, not only will Lin Ji's sign be destroyed, but the Ning family's sign will also be destroyed.
In this case, Ning Xiaoli will only be more attentive.
I would rather serve the food slowly, but also ensure that there are no flaws or mistakes.
In the small kitchen, the tenderloin on the chopping board gradually spread out along the muscle fibers under the hammer. The originally relatively shapely pieces of meat soon became soft and soft.
Shen Jiayue tidied it up and tried not to break the muscle fibers. According to Lin Xu's method, she gradually smashed the meat loose and scattered, and finally smashed it into meat paste.
"Oops, my arms are a little sore."
She stopped to move her right shoulder and arm, and felt that her biceps were a little sore, but the meat paste was still a lot worse now, so she had to continue.
She switched to her left hand and continued tapping, trying to relax her right arm as much as possible.
Chen Yan walked in and took a camera to the side to take a close-up to increase the sense of the camera. Although she was a little unhappy about being surpassed by her cousin in cooking, the video still had to be shot.
After all, my cousin is also the UP owner of Happy Media.
"Wow, I can't do it anymore, I have to take a break."
Shen Jiayue put down the mallet and moved her arms and shoulders. She felt that the fried buns and steamed cakes she had eaten in the morning were somewhat digested.
Chen Yan pressed down all the cameras to pause, walked to the chopping board, grabbed the gavel and swung it twice:
"There is really no technical content in this. No wonder my brother-in-law recommended you to make meatballs."
"After cutting, there are steps of dusting with flour, rolling out the dough, adjusting the stuffing, and wrapping the stuffing. After all, it is an intangible cultural heritage snack. How can it be so simple... I really don't want to chat with you people who have no cooking skills at all."
Chen Yan:?????????
You only know how to cook a few dishes, so leave it here to pretend to be an expert.
Shen Jiayue drank some water, took a few breaths, and then continued to pound the meat with the mallet.
Although Chen Yan was full of stomachache and wanted to vomit, she still very considerately helped with the filming. She talked about the deep love between sisters, but in fact she just wanted to taste the meat swallow.
At around ten o'clock, Shen Jiayue felt that her shoulders and arms were sore and swollen, and the pork on the table had turned into pink meat.
Lin Xu walked over to take a look and picked out a few white fascias:
"It's almost done, but if you smash it again, the effect will be better."
What?
Want to smash it again?
Shen Jiayue originally thought it was good, but after hearing this, she had to steel herself, scrape the meat paste into a pile with a kitchen knife, hold the mallet in both hands, and continue beating.
Outside the camera, Lin Xu put the prepared sweet potato starch into the grinder and used the grinding function to grind the lumps of sweet potato starch into powder.
Then sift again to sift out the particles in the starch, leaving only the powder.
To make the skin of the meatball, you don't need just pork. You also have to add sweet potato starch. After the meat is smashed, use a large amount of starch to wrap the meat and then roll it into thin slices little by little.
The reason why the meat swallow skin tastes smooth and delicious is not only because the meat is smashed out of gelatin, but also the most important thing is the role of sweet potato starch.
Starch already has the effect of increasing the tenderness of food, and adding it to the skin of meatballs will further amplify this effect.
The starch was ground properly, and Shen Jiayue also smashed the meat paste thoroughly.
At this time, she no longer underestimated the enemy as she did at the beginning:
"Xubao, what should we do next?"
"Scrape the minced meat into a pile, and finally pick out the fascia inside, then sprinkle the starch on it, spread it thickly, let the dry powder completely wrap the minced meat, and then slowly roll it out."
Shen Jiayue didn't quite understand:
“Should the stuffing be kneaded into dough and then rolled out?”
"Don't knead, let the starch spread on the meat paste, this will make the dough more flexible. If you knead it into dough in advance, the meat paste's flexibility will be greatly reduced, and you won't be able to roll it into paper."
The production process of meat swallow is very interesting. It seems to be a hand-rolled noodle method, but the process is completely different.
The most important point is that the starch cannot be kneaded into the meat paste, but always on the surface of the meat paste, so that the ductility of the meat paste can be fully exerted.
At the same time, the presence of starch can also effectively prevent the meat paste from sticking to the rolling pin.
Shen Jiayue scraped the meat into a pile and picked out several fascia during the process.
After finishing her work, she sprinkled starch on the meat paste and took a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
At this time, Dundun, who was sleeping soundly downstairs, suddenly opened his eyes and prepared to secretly help mommy make beautiful pork swallow skin...
