Food starts with noodles

It stands to reason that the best ones are the sheep raised on herbs in the mountains around Datong.

In this way, the taste is more pure, and the mutton still has a faint herbal fragrance.

Now the store uses top-quality Ximeng mutton, although it is different from Datong mutton, but it is no problem to make salt-fried mutton.

After solving the problem of ingredients, the rest is to add water and salt when making mutton.

Do not put too much water in this dish.

If you really put half a pot of water, all the aroma in the meat will be absorbed by the soup, which is not beautiful.

And if there is too much water, the final juice will not be collected well, which will directly affect the quality of the dishes.

In addition to water, it is to add salt.

It is better to put less salt than too much, otherwise the meat will taste bitter, and a pot of meat will be ruined.

He carefully explained to Xu Zhuo the essentials of making salt-fried mutton.

Taking a last look at the cast iron pot just used, he said to Xu Zhuo, "When cooking, you must use this kind of very thick iron pot. Even if there is no soup in this kind of pot, it will not easily stick to the bottom."

The advantage of the cast iron pan is that it is not easy to stick to the bottom, unlike the cooked iron pan used for cooking, it will stick to the bottom if you don't pay attention.

Especially when making stews, you have to keep watching.

However, cast iron pots are relatively clumsy. Except for the rural ground pots or cast iron pots, there is less and less market for cast iron pots in modern kitchens.

Especially in the back kitchen of a restaurant, the cast iron pan is useless at all.

So heavy, even if there are dishes that use cast iron pans, chefs will try to avoid them as much as possible.

While the two were discussing the pot, the people next to them had already started to eat the salt-fried mutton in the pot.

The old man filled a bowl, took a piece and tasted it: "Not bad, the salt taste is just right, and the surface of the meat is slightly fried with oil, it tastes more delicious."

The old man spoke highly of this dish, which made Feng Weiguo very happy.

Xu Zhuo picked up the pieces of meat in the bowl, he had just eaten hot-boiled mutton, and he wasn't very hungry at the moment.

Picking and picking, he chose a piece of fat and thin lamb leg.

Sent into the mouth and took a bite.

Lean meat is crispy, fat meat is oily.

Chewing lightly, the juice in the meat will fill between the lips and teeth.

Fragrant!

It was so delicious!

After eating the whole piece of meat, I didn't taste any smell.

All I can say is that this lamb is really good.

This method maximizes the deliciousness of the mutton.

After eating a piece, Xu Zhuo couldn't stop at all.

He squeezed another piece and put it in his mouth.

I ate it with big mouthfuls.

……

Chapter 428 I want to learn this dish

One rib, two front legs, and a dozen catties of meat together.

As a result, it was swept away by the chefs and waiters in the store.

Those who started late even only tasted one or two yuan, which is not enjoyable at all.

Xu Zhuo felt a little full just after eating boiled mutton.

Now I ate several pieces of mutton in a row.

Stomach a little uncomfortable.

But the mutton was delicious, and he thought he could still eat it with a few more pieces.

Both of these delicacies have high requirements for mutton.

Not to mention the hot-boiled mutton, the people of the capital have already blown the sky over this dish.

This dish can be regarded as the civilized way of eating mutton for the people of the capital.

Each part of mutton has a specific way of eating, and even the cutting method is different.

As for the order of shabu-shabu and the time of shabu-shabu, there are detailed steps.

There are even old gourmets, in order to let outsiders feel the attitude of Beijingers towards food, they even wrote a tutorial.

It can be said that the people of Beijing used the most civilized way to arrange the various parts of a sheep clearly.

Each part, each step, has detailed instructions.

Shanxi people treat mutton more rough and down-to-earth.

Just like those unknown but very delicious noodles in Shanxi.

There are not so many fancy ingredients, and there are no rules with many names.

Not to mention any celebrity allusions.

Eating meat is eating meat, nothing else is involved.

And the practice is simplified to the extreme.

a handful of salt.

a bowl of water.

Just kidding.

However, such a simple method can make mutton the best in the world.

It has been truly verified that high-end ingredients only need simple methods to cook this gourmet concept.

This not only reflects the idea of ​​returning to nature in food.

It also fully demonstrates the confidence of Shanxi people in mutton.

This dish simply wouldn't be possible without a good lamb backing.

Even if it is made, a lot of ingredients will be added by unconfident chefs.

What removes the fishy smell, removes the greasiness, and enhances the aroma.

When these spices are used, they will also cover up the delicious taste of the meat itself.

For example, this salt-fried meat dish, if you put ginger slices, cooking wine, pepper, and star anise, it will definitely not taste as good as a handful of salt.

"Don't worry, everyone, keep working. I'll make another pot now. When will everyone be satisfied today? Let's finish what we have to do."

After Xu Zhuo finished talking to everyone, he turned his face to Feng Weiguo and said, "Grandpa Feng, I will do it now, how about you pointing it out?"

Feng Weiguo nodded: "No problem."

After finishing speaking, he took a proud look at the old man.

The meaning is clear.

Look, don't let me teach your grandson, now he wants to learn on his own initiative.

none of my business.

Feng Weiguo even wanted to call Zhao Jinma.

You old bastard still robs me of my apprentice.

Now I am teaching Xu Zhuo how to cook.

What about you?

Feng Weiguo really has a sense of pride in seeing all the flowers in Chang'an overnight.

She even wanted to pretend to be tough in front of the old man.

But seeing the serious thinking expression of the old man, he resisted the thought of dying.

Brother Xu has been silent now, maybe he is holding back some big moves.

It's better not to provoke him.

In order not to be slapped in the face again as a background board later.

He can deduce how to do it based on eating salt-fried mutton many years ago.

Now I have finished watching the recipe of this dish completely.

He must be thinking about cooking.

Maybe other dishes will be made in this way.

So it's better to keep a low profile.

In order not to affect myself later when brother Xu pretends to be aggressive.

Feng Weiguo and Xu Zhuo came to the kitchen and selected another ten catties of mutton.

The reason why there are so many choices is because Feng Weiguo chose the same way just now, and it is easier to imitate when doing it later.

In addition, the pot can make about ten catties, and it will be difficult to overturn if there is more.

And Xu Zhuo felt that it might not be successful once, and he might have to do it again later.

It's better to have less, because it saves too much and everyone can't finish it.

Boss Xu is determined to get this dish.

Even with a little practice, you must master this dish.

Now there is no shortage of high-end ingredients in the store, only signature dishes.

Hard as salt-fried mutton.

Once learned, it can create countless profits for the store.

Moreover, the dishes in the store are all too homely, and up to now there is not a single signature dish that can stand out.

If you can learn this dish, everything will be easily solved.

"You won't price this dish very cheaply, will you?"

When Xu Zhuo was chopping mutton, Feng Weiguo came over and chatted with Xu Zhuo about frying mutton with salt.

In the past, there was cold mutton in the store, and the price was very low.

It can be said that basically no money is made, and even a little bit of money is lost.

After opening, Xu Zhuo has canceled that dish.

But Feng Weiguo has been in the store for so many days, so he knows something inside.

Those college students also chatted a few words from time to time.

This made Feng Weiguo very puzzled. The purpose of opening a restaurant is to make money. How could this child not earn the money he got?

The price is so cheap, is this a charity?

Of course he didn't know that Xu Zhuo's price was too low at that time to attract students.

After all, there are three main quests to follow.

If you want students to come to eat, the price cannot be too high.

So Feng Weiguo really wanted to know how Xu Zhuo would price this dish.

Xu Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Divide into large and small portions. The small portion is about one catty, and the price is 88 yuan, which is more suitable for two people. The large portion is about two catties, and it is set at 158 ​​yuan, which is suitable for four people."

Xu Zhuo quickly set the price.
