“Xubao, when will we start making meatballs?”
As soon as Lin Xu got up in the morning, Shen Jiayue asked in a daze in bed. Before she woke up, she was thinking about making meatballs.
“After breakfast, go to the store and cook it. The kitchen at home is not suitable for cooking this kind of food.”
The kitchen worktop is made of marble. Although it may be okay to knock continuously, but to be on the safe side, it is better to go to the store to do it. Put a wooden chopping board on the stainless steel worktop in the small kitchen, and it will be no problem to knock it until the end of time.
After washing up, he went downstairs to cook rice in a casserole, then took out a small piece of tenderloin, cut it into minced meat, and marinated it with onion and ginger water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, egg white and other seasonings and ingredients.
Steam a few more preserved eggs, steam the runny eggs thoroughly, chop them into pieces with a kitchen knife, and set them aside.
Then mix a little flour with baking powder and baking powder, and prepare to fry some steamed buns.
Put the noodles on top, wash some lettuce, wait for the fried buns to be fried and mix them with the leftovers to make a simplified version of cold fried dough sticks, and eat them with preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
This was Shen Jiayue’s favorite food before going to bed last night. She said she hadn’t eaten cold fried dough sticks in a long time and was so hungry.
In fact, he just wanted to eat in the middle of the night. Lin Xu finally arranged the cold fried dough sticks until this morning, but the price was to add preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
After completing these preparations, Lin Xu went to the rooftop, watered the vegetables, followed the video tutorial sent by his mother, pinched the heads of some vine-like vegetables, and then pulled out the weeds.
Just after playing with it, Shen Jiayue came to the rooftop with a yawn.
Behind her was Dundun, who was also sleepy-eyed. The little guy was sleeping soundly until Shen Jiayue hit him with a newly bought pinball, and then followed him all the way to the rooftop.
“call out……”
Shen Jiayue threw the pinball forward, and Dundun, who was yawning, immediately chased after him.
Fast-moving objects can stimulate the hunting genes in cats. Even if they know they are not prey, the little guy will still chase them quickly.
The pinball bounced and rolled on the turf, and Dundun caught it, making a “click” sound in his mouth that threatened the prey.
“I’m going to start dancing. If breakfast isn’t ready after dancing, I’ll be punished!”
Shen Jiayue threatened Lin Xu “viciously”, but then she was picked up by Lin Xu and carried on his shoulders, scaring her so much that she screamed:
“Honey, I was wrong, I don’t dare to be naughty anymore!”
Lin Xu put the girl down, kissed her fair face, and then said:
“Eat more in the morning, because making meatballs is a very physical job. If you eat less, you won’t be able to last.”
Shen Jiayue pouted:
“What should I do if I eat too much and gain weight? Will you dislike me?”
“Definitely not. Besides, you are not fat. I can carry it easily. How can you call it fat? You still feel a little thin.”
Lin Xu pinched the sweet baby’s cheek and went downstairs to continue making breakfast.
After he left, Shen Jiayue muttered:
“Smelly Xu Bao doesn’t follow martial ethics, so he came to trick and attack my twenty-two-year-old little comrade… The new nun outfit recommended by Yan Bao arrived today. I’ll take care of you tonight!”
Lin Xu came to the kitchen and steamed a piece of chicken breast for Dundun. He was worried that Shen Jiayue would get tired of just eating the steamed buns, so he made two more steamed cakes.
This kind of doughy pancake is most suitable for manual workers. You can eat it for a long time without feeling hungry.
The reason why he prepared so many carbohydrates was mainly to prepare the meat swallow, or to be precise, to prepare the meat swallow skin.
This kind of delicacy requires a lot of physical strength, so you need to eat as many carbohydrates as possible so that you have the energy to smash the meat into puree and then roll it into paper-thin wonton wrappers.
In fact, there are many ways to eat the skin of meat bird’s nest. In addition to making wontons, it can also be cut into thin strips and eaten as noodles. This kind of delicacy is called bird’s nest. It is said that the taste is somewhat similar to bird’s nest.
Half an hour later, Shen Jiayue finished her exercise covered in sweat. She took a shower first, then put on clean clothes and went downstairs to eat.
At this moment, Lin Xu had already prepared breakfast.
Oil buns, cold oil buns, steamed noodles, pickled peppers mixed with shredded bamboo shoots, spicy cabbage, and a small pot of perfectly cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
“Wow, it’s so rich?”
Recently, I usually go to the store to eat something in the morning. Suddenly making so much food makes Shen Jiayue a little uncomfortable.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
“It’s mainly to replenish your strength. Eat more. If the pork swallow skin can be cooked today, I plan to think of several new ways to eat it, but the specifics will depend on how you cook the swallow skin.”
As soon as Shen Jiayue heard that she wanted to think about new food, she immediately said:
“No problem, no problem, I promise to do a good job.”
Before going to bed last night, this girl had watched a lot of videos on making meatballs on the Internet, and found that it was not difficult, but it was a bit energy-consuming.
But for a person who works out all year round, the most important thing is physical strength.
She was even a little eager to try it, hoping that making meatballs could be regarded as a new physical exercise.
Burn fat to make delicious food, eat the cooked food, and become part of the fat again… It belongs to the law of conservation of fat.
Putting the chunky chicken breast on its exclusive small dining table, and waiting for the little guy to stick his butt out to eat, Lin Xu returned to the dining table and started eating breakfast.
He took a piece of steamed cake, took a bite, and sent a message to Che Zai:
“Is the gavel soaked?”
“I soaked it last night and just changed the water.”
To make pork tenderloin, you need to use a mallet to continuously pound the tenderloin. However, the mallet cannot be used directly. It must be soaked. This will increase the weight of the wood. At the same time, the expansion of the mallet will also make the texture denser and no wood chips will be thrown out. .
And after soaking, the meat paste will not stick to the surface of the mallet and cannot be scraped off. This is a little tip for pounding meat.
In fact, instead of using a mallet, you can use the steel whip used in Chaoshan hand-beating beef balls. It is more efficient and the minced meat is more elastic.
But if Shen Jiayue wants to shoot a video today, it would be better to use a traditional wooden mallet, lest netizens complain about it being unauthentic, soulless, and tasteless.
“This pickled pepper is delicious. It is appetizing and relieves tiredness.”
Shen Jiayue ate a pickled pepper ring, then quickly picked up a piece of steamed bun and put it into her mouth. The sour, salty, and spicy taste of the pickled pepper formed a strong contrast with the crispy and soft steamed bun.
Eat it in your mouth, and then add a small spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, it is so enjoyable!
After the meal, Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, went upstairs to change clothes, hugged Dundun, and went out to the store with Shen Jiayue, who was wearing sportswear.
“Is the meat ready?”
When he came to the store, Lin Xu looked at Che Zai and asked.
“It’s ready. There’s tenderloin and hind leg meat. The fascia on the outside has been cleaned. It’s all lean meat.”
In the small kitchen, the meat for making pork swallows has been prepared, weighing five or six kilograms. Lin Xu looked at it and found that it was indeed suitable for making pork swallow skins.
Shen Jiayue looked at the meat and asked curiously:
“Are these enough? Will they not be enough to eat?”
Lin Xu smiled:
“Normally speaking, one pound of meat can make more than a hundred pieces of pork swallow skin, and a bowl of wontons can make about a dozen. Don’t worry about not eating enough. If you do it well, we should worry about how to eat it. “
He placed an oversized wooden chopping board on the workbench and specially made a border around it so that when meat foam splashed, it wouldn’t be all over the room.
Then he brought over the mallet that had been soaked overnight.
This thing is thick at one end and thin at the other, a bit like a car exhaust pipe. As soon as the water on the surface was wiped dry, Shen Jiayue picked it up and twirled it a few times:
“Xubao, do you think I look like Xi Shi Huansha?”
Lin Xu looked at this girl’s crazy look. Apart from being pretty, she didn’t think she looked anything like Xi Tzu. Her movements of swinging the mallet looked more like Li Yuanba.
But if you are like you, you can’t really say it, otherwise you will be punished.
He smiled and said:
“It does look a lot like Xishi Huansha. No wonder it can make fish look dumbfounded… But this mallet is a tool for pounding meat. You can’t play with it. This is the rule in the kitchen.”
It is forbidden to play around in the kitchen, and it is not allowed to use kitchen utensils as toys, because if you are not careful, it may cause a tragic accident.
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she quickly put down the gavel in her hand, took off her sports coat, put on her exclusive chef uniform, and put on her chef hat. She immediately looked like an executive chef.
Set up all the shooting equipment, wash your hands carefully, and officially start the process of filming the meatballs.
“Hello everyone, my name is Shen Jiayue. You said the chicken shaved tofu in the last issue was not difficult. I was very angry. In order to prove my cooking skills, today I am going to challenge a difficult dish – pork swallow. If you think I can make it, please deduct it. 1. If you can’t do it, please type ‘You are good for nothing but your beauty’. Without further ado, let’s start now!”
Hum, high-end chefs don’t need to talk so much nonsense. If you want to know the history of meat swallows, you can check it out on the Internet. Today, my head chef will teach you how to make meat swallows in a light and step-by-step manner.
Shen Jiayue placed two pieces of hind leg meat and a piece of tenderloin meat on the chopping board according to the method taught by Lin Xu, then picked up the mallet and started pounding the meat.
Lin Xu said from the side:
“Don’t smash it too hard at the beginning. You need to smash the meat first, then smash it into pieces, and finally smash it into a meat paste rich in muscle fibers. Only in this way can you make smooth, thin and tough meat swallow skin.”
The origin of the word meat swallow is said to be because this kind of wonton has a smooth and delicious texture, not inferior to bird’s nest, and has more meat filling than bird’s nest, so it is called meat swallow.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish the true and false origin of such historical names.
In addition, under the influence of “gentlemen are far 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, the Huaiyang cuisine “General Crossing the Bridge” is originally just one fish and two meals, 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 method of eating two dishes with one dish has even formed a bridge cuisine. There are more bridge ribs, bridge crucian carp, bridge tofu, etc. than the spin-off series of “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 to save me from wondering 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 food 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, it started now, and it was more active than the workers who relied 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 were also holding magnifying glasses and waiting to find faults. Once they found any flaws, they quickly bought the hot search products and hammered them.
You have big bosses protecting you so you can’t throw dirty water, but if you have 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 smashed, but the Ning family’s sign will also be smashed.
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, trying not to break the muscle fibers, and followed Lin Xu’s instructions to gradually loosen and break up the meat, and finally smash it into pulp.
“Oops, my arms are a little sore.”
She stopped to move her right shoulder and arm. She 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, no, 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 flouring, rolling out, adjusting and wrapping the stuffing. After all, it is an intangible cultural heritage snack. How could 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 stomachaches 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 came over to take a look and picked out a few white fascias:
“It’s almost there, but if you smash it again, the effect will be even better.”
What?
Want to smash it again?
Shen Jiayue originally thought it was good, but after hearing this, she had to brace herself, scraped the meat paste into a pile with a kitchen knife, held the mallet in both hands, and continued 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 meat swallow, it is not enough to just have pork. You also have to add sweet potato starch. After the meat paste is smashed, use a large amount of starch to wrap the meat paste, 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 the 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 her enemy at the beginning:
“Xubao, what should we do next?”
“Scrape the minced meat into a pile, pick out the fascia inside one last time, 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 ductility will be greatly reduced, and it will not be rolled out into paper.”
The production process of meat swallow is very interesting. It seems to be hand-rolled noodles, but the process is completely different.
The most important point is not to knead the starch into the meat paste, but always on the surface of the meat paste, so that the malleability 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 this 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…
