I am Qinxing No.1

Chapter 226
The pork on the chopping board has been cut into countless pieces, a huge pile of red, red, white and white.

Zhou Dong didn't even need to look carefully to know that these were just ordinary pork, which met his requirements.

The so-called ordinary refers to the pork that does not specially select the crescent meat, tenderloin and other special positions on the Cunjin cartilage. Except for the unhealthy blood neck meat, there are pork head meat, pork shoulder meat, and pork knuckle meat almost everywhere in the pig. a part.

The quality of the pork itself is good. Although it is not the noblest pigs such as organic melanized pigs and Tibetan pigs bought at high prices, it is also a decent breed of white-flowered pigs in Guangzhou, which are fed half of the feed and half of the grain.

Due to the reasons of the times, the quality of these pork meat needs to be improved in Zhou Dong's opinion. After all, the raw fried meat pie rice full of "earthly smoke and fire" was made of black haired pork, which was raised by traditional feeding methods. Black-haired pigs are not comparable to the breeds of pigs coming off the assembly line of the meat processing factory.

This dish of poor people, if placed in the eyes of modern people, is like a polarized freak.

The pig breeds of the Walled City era at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China are absolutely enviable by modern people, but in that era, the rich did not look down on this kind of food for the poor.
In that era, people who ate this kind of food were basically bitter haha. How can you still choose the best places such as ribs and tenderloin?

A woman from a poor family is holding a few pitiful tickets. She has to wait until the pork shop is about to close to buy some leftovers at the cheapest price, so as to make a meal for the man who has worked hard all day. Physical pilaf.

Even Guan Dasheng probably has never eaten this kind of real "poor people's meal", the taste he misses is basically the era when raw fried meat pie rice became a representative delicacy and entered the tea restaurant.

Zhou Dong believes that Guan Dasheng's so-called authenticity is just that the tea restaurant at that time still retains a bit of the taste of home-cooked food, but how can this kind of craftsmanship compare to those clever women who "often cook without rice"?
Those clever women who made raw fried meat pie rice back then may not be great chefs, but they will definitely treat this rare "feast" wholeheartedly.
Because there are not only human fireworks in this poor man's meal, but also their love for men, and their expectations for the future!

"I really don't understand, why did you choose these scraps of pork?

Regardless of the location, the key is that these different parts of pork have completely different requirements for heat, and even affect the taste. Are you making it more difficult in disguise? "

Lu Luxin couldn't understand Zhou Dong's thoughts: "Could this be what you call 'fireworks in the world'?
I applauded you secretly when you yelled at that old man just now, but now I really suspect that you are inflated."

"It's not that I'm bloated, but that you, a chef who is used to all kinds of exquisite ingredients at his beck and call, have long lost his awe of ingredients."

Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "The most authentic pan-fried meat pie rice was called poor people's rice back then.

Haven't you ever thought about where those poor families who live in poverty can find the best meat in your eyes?
Boss Hua despises these scraps, but in the eyes of wives who love their husbands deeply, they are extremely precious ingredients.

In their hands, these leftovers will be turned into delicious meatloaf rice, so that their husbands can have a good meal after a hard day.

They may not be as good at cooking as you, but when it comes to their understanding of this dish, they are undoubtedly superior to you. "

"It's as if it's true."

How can Lu Luxin believe it.Before today, she hadn't seen Zhou Dong go into the kitchen to practice this dish of raw fried meat pie rice. She felt that this guy was just fooling herself. He said a lot of truths, but you did it, you?

"She really didn't believe it. In fact, if I hadn't practiced tens of thousands of times in the Good Fortune Kitchen, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to discover the secret of those clever women making this delicacy."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly, and without further explanation to Lu Luxin, he used a black iron knife to push the minced meat that Lu Luxin had cut in advance into the porcelain basin, took the lard that had been prepared a few days ago, gently scooped out a piece, and put it in in the pot.

The lard also soaked some tangerine peel in it, and as the temperature in the pot increased, it gradually melted, releasing a faint sour aroma.

Seeing that the oil temperature was getting higher, Zhou Dong took a piece of pork belly and began to cut it crosswise with a flat knife.

"What are you doing?"

Lv Luxin has gotten used to being an 'assistant' these days, and subconsciously thinks it's her job. Zhou Dong is also really weird. Did you just say you want to cut pork belly?Look down on my knife skills or how bad!
After seeing Zhou Dong's use of the knife clearly, he was even more surprised.

Zhou Dong first used a knife to remove the top layer of skin from the pork belly, then peeled off the layer of fat under the skin, and then peeled off the layer of lean meat under the layer of fat very thinly!

Then go over this layer of lean meat and the thickest layer of fat in the middle, and thin the bottom lean layer again, and the bottom fat is also cut off together.

Then there were dozens of squares about one centimeter square left on the cutting board, the middle part was fat meat, and the upper and lower parts were thin meat squares.

Lu Luxin was very surprised, what can such meat do?
"Boss Hua just said that these leftover pork is difficult to deal with, this is a fact, and it is the biggest flaw of raw fried meat pie rice.

I have been thinking about how they made delicious food under such conditions in the past few days. After countless practice, I finally figured out the reason.

Since the shortcomings cannot be covered up, then use the greatest advantages to cover up the shortcomings,
If you use one sentence to describe it, it's called 'the loss is insufficient and the excess is made up! '"

God, when have you practiced countless times, why don't I know my mother?
Lu Luxin was stupefied when she heard this: "Old Zhou, you seem to have said the wrong thing. It should be to make up for the excess and make up for the excess. This is the correct way to solve the principle of wooden barrels."

"I was not mistaken."

Zhou Dong picked up these meat cubes with the blade and threw them all into the fully melted oil pan.

While gently stirring the freshly placed meat cubes with a large spoon, he patiently explained: "A mouthful of strong aroma is the biggest advantage that this delicacy can pursue!
Among the various dishes of pork, which one is the most fragrant?
Of course, lard residue is the most fragrant!
What kind of lard residue is top grade?
Of course, it is refined to [-]% and there is still a little bit of lard residue on the surface!

It is best to use lard residue wrapped with lean meat layers on both sides, and these lean meat layers should not be too thick, otherwise the taste will become woody. "

Lu Luxin was stunned: "Lard residue?

Don't tell me, Zhou Dong, that your inspiration came from the bibimbap with lard residue? "

"It's not my inspiration, but the clever women who made this delicacy back then.

Most of them got their inspiration from here, because rice with lard residue is also a meal for the poor!

Otherwise, don't they still get inspiration from the moonlit night on the 24 bridges?

What is the smoke and fire in the world, first of all it must be in the world!Down to earth! "

Zhou Dong said in his mouth, but kept his hands on it. Seeing that the meat was gradually turned into lard residue with thin sides and fat in the middle, he picked it up with a colander, put it aside to cool, and then took it out of the porcelain plate. A group of minced meat, pressed into a cake shape, put it in a pot and change to medium-low heat to fry.

After the patties are slightly shaped, take out the drained oil, spread them flat on the chopping board, then pick up a chopstick and poke at the patties quickly until countless pits are poked on the patties.

Then put the lard residue that was refined just now into these pits one by one, put them in the pan and continue frying.

Immediately, there was a more intense smell of pork than before, and Lu Luxin moved her nose and took a few deep breaths, and an inspiration came to her mind: "The lard with tangerine peel will reduce the greasy feeling, and at the same time improve the taste of the meatloaf."
Because the meatloaf is made of leftovers, the advantage is that it has a variety of tastes. For example, the taste of pork head meat is completely different from that of pork shoulder meat, but the disadvantage is that the taste cannot be unified. This shortcoming cannot be solved either.

However, these lard residues you disperse in the meat patties have a unique aroma and special taste. When diners eat these lard residues, its perfect aroma can cover up the defects of the meat patties themselves!

This is really a wonderful idea. A simple meatloaf can make flaws and perfection coexist!

Old Zhou you."

"You finally understand."

Zhou Dong smiled slightly: "Absolute perfection only exists in the sky, if we can make such food, we can use it to earn money from those rich people.

Food with both perfection and flaws belongs to the world.

This kind of food is what I love in my life.”
