Chapter 12 It’s time to cook
Seeing Dan Bao cheering up again, Qin Lang smiled and cut up shredded carrots, green onions, green onions, ginger, and coriander and put them on a plate, and then brought the plate to Dan Bao.
"Dulu!"
It's my turn to perform!
Seeing these auxiliary ingredients, Dan Bao suddenly became energetic. He went up and blew hard, and in a short time, the originally wilted strands of the auxiliary ingredients became distinctly fresh.
"great!"
Qin Lang praised him profusely, and then picked up the basin where the starch was left.
At this moment, the starch has completely sunk under the water, and it feels hard when pressed with your fingers.
This is considered to be completely soaked.
After pouring away the excess water, he began the work of hanging the paste.
Mix three spoons of soaked starch and half a spoon of water according to this ratio, then add the cut tenderloin and mix so that the surface of each tenderloin is covered with paste.
Only in this way can the fried pot meat become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
When the oil is 70% hot, unfold the pork tenderloin piece by piece and put it into the oil pan.
Before Qin Lang could finish this step, the pork tenderloin that was put in first was already gushing out a rich and mouth-watering aroma from the sizzling oil in the pot.
"Gululu!"
Dan Bao was so greedy that his saliva was almost drooling. He watched eagerly, and after Qin Lang fished it out, he immediately went to it.
"You can't eat it yet, just wait a minute." Qin Lang stopped it with a dumbfounded look, looked at the little guy with watery eyes, and comforted him helplessly, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"Gululu!"
I don't eat hot tofu! I want to eat Guobao Pork!
Qin Lang became more and more dumbfounded.
The oil temperature quickly rose to 80% hot. While Qin Lang continued to encourage Dan Bao with words, he quickly put the pork tenderloin into the pot and fried it for another fifteen seconds.
Remove the filtered oil, leaving only the base oil in the pot, add shredded ginger, shredded carrots, fried pot pork and the sauce previously prepared, stir-fry a few times, then add shredded onions, green onions and coriander, stir again Two times.
"Okay~" Looking at Dan Bao who was about to cry in anxiety, Qin Lang quickly took the meat out of the pot and said, "Be careful because it's hot..."
Looking at Dan Bao holding a piece of pot-roasted meat in his mouth, Qin Lang felt that Bai was reminding him.
This little guy can breathe fire, so is he afraid of getting burned?
The way Danbao eats food is quite interesting.
Its little egg-yolk face hidden in its transparent body pops out of its body when it eats.
Billions of points are magical.
Qin Lang took out two bowls of rice from the rice cooker and placed one bowl in front of Dan Bao, "Try it with rice."
After saying that, he picked up a piece of pot meat soaked in juice, blew it to cool down, and took a bite.
The sweet and sour sauce is relatively fresh and nicely neutralizes the greasiness. The rich aroma of deep-fried food overflows your lips and tongue as soon as you bite it.
The soaked starch paste forms a hard and crispy shell under high temperature, and is slightly softened by the infiltration of sauce, creating a special taste.
The pork tenderloin inside retains its original flavor and tenderness to the greatest extent under the closed shell, and even the meat juice is extremely filling.
Pair it with a mouthful of rice…
"I will never get tired of this taste in my lifetime." Qin Lang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Grrrrrr!"
Dan Bao, who opened the door to the new world, couldn't agree more.
After grilling the meat in the pot and eating two mouthfuls of rice, Qin Lang reluctantly put down the bowl and chopsticks and took out a handful of lettuce from the vegetable basket.
"The oxtail soup still needs to wait for a while. During this time we can make oyster sauce lettuce."
Although the Guobaorou continued to tempt Danbao, it quickly retracted its head into its body, and then quickly came to Qin Lang's side.
"Gudu!"
Look at my freshness!
Seeing Dan Bao skillfully using his cooking skills to make the lettuce fresher, Qin Lang had a smile on his face.
With Dan Bao's company, even the cooking process becomes more interesting.
As one of the home-cooked seasonal vegetables, cooking oyster sauce lettuce is not complicated.
Taking advantage of Dan Bao's help, Qin Lang boiled a pot of water and began to prepare the oyster sauce for the oyster sauce lettuce.
One spoon of oyster sauce, two spoons of light soy sauce, a little pepper and one spoon of cornstarch.
The original taste of vegetables is light, and thickening can make more soup stick and improve the taste.
Finally, add a tablespoon of water and mix well.
Putting the prepared oyster sauce aside, Qin Lang took the lettuce that Dan Bao had finished processing, cut off the roots and washed it quickly.
The water that was boiled in the pot before was now boiling.
Add a spoonful of salt to increase the base flavor, and a spoonful of oil to prevent the blanched lettuce from turning yellow or wilting. Then add the lettuce to the pot, blanch until it is half cooked, and serve on a plate.
Until it is put on the plate, the lettuce still maintains its emerald green color, with a layer of water on the surface, which makes it look particularly attractive under the light.
The color alone creates an appetite.
Heat oil in a pan, chop the garlic prepared by Dan Bao into minced garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, add oyster sauce and stir until the soup thickens with bubbles.
In the hot air, the delicious smell of oyster sauce mixed with the scent of pepper penetrates the nose, like a seductive little fairy, making people greedy.
"It's out of the pot!"
Looking at Dan Bao's expectant eyes, Qin Lang poured the soup in the pot evenly over the lettuce, then brought the dinner plate to the dining table, "Try it quickly?"
"Dulugugu!"
Dan Bao cheered, quickly moved forward, poked his little head out, and carefully picked up a piece of lettuce.
The next moment, its eyes lit up.
very delicious!
After calculating the time, Qin Lang opened the pressure cooker, poured out two bowls of the almost stewed oxtail soup, placed them in front of himself and Dan Bao, and then sat down.
Different from the aroma of pot-roasted pork, the aroma of oxtail soup is mellow and thick.
The milky white soup is slightly thick, with a few red wolfberries floating on it, and one or two light yellow polygonatum flakes can be seen vaguely. Together with the light brown oxtail, the collision of colors is mouth-watering.
Taking a sip, Qin Lang narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
The gelatin in the oxtail is simmered under high pressure and blends into the soup. The deliciousness of the beef and the mellowness of the bone marrow are wrapped in the gelatin, and the taste etched on the tip of the tongue becomes clearer.
The slight sweetness of Polygonatum sibiricum and wolfberry makes the oxtail soup a little fresher, giving it a mellow but not greasy taste.
"Dulu!"
Dan Bao carefully took a sip of the soup and showed the same expression as Qin Lang.
The oxtail soup is so delicious!
"As long as you like it." Seeing Dan Bao eating so happily, Qin Lang's face was full of smiles.
Nothing pleases him more than when a diner is satisfied with the food he has prepared.
Qin Lang picked up the stewed oxtail until it was soft and fell off the bone, and put it into his mouth.
The gelatin-rich oxtail meat is not firm, and the gaps in the texture are filled with delicious soup.
The beef flavor, which is richer than the soup, bursts out with chewing and fills your lips and teeth.
A piece of oyster sauce lettuce, served with rice.
The aroma of fried garlic was not pungent, and combined with the umami flavor of oyster sauce and the sweet, crisp texture of the lettuce, Qin Lang's eyes lit up in an instant.
The perfect blend of salty, fresh and sweet instantly eliminates the residual taste of the oxtail soup. Paired with the rice, which is plump and slightly chewy, it's really a treat.
Next, it’s time to cook.
