Food starts with noodles

Main chain mission?

What the hell is this?

Chapter 604 Dingxiang Steamed Meat

Task name: The test of the new store ([-])

Task details: The host is requested to implement all procedures for the new store within a week to ensure that the ownership of the store belongs to the host.

Mission rewards and punishments: If the mission is successful, the host will get the D-level signature cold dish—saliva chicken; if the mission fails, the opening of the new store will be postponed for one month.

Task time limit: one week.

Task reminder: After this task is completed, the next task will be started automatically; if this task fails, the difficulty of the next task will be doubled automatically.

……

After reading it, Xu Zhuo didn't care about the task at all, his mind was full of drooling.

The system is really motivating.

If this mission was just a random mission like before, Xu Zhuo would definitely not be so enthusiastic.

Because there are many kinds of cold dishes in Sichuan cuisine, some of them are not suitable for the eating habits of the Central Plains people.

For example, the famous Zheergen.

But now that the salivary chicken was rewarded, Xu Zhuo had to concentrate.

He looked at Chen Guifang who was chatting with the old lady about the store plan beside him and asked, "Mom, when are you going to go through the formalities?"

"Let's talk about it after the Lantern Festival. Now that people are urging people to apply for a real estate certificate, they may not be able to get it done."

When Xu Zhuo heard this, he immediately shook his head: "No, that's too late. It's best to get the certificate within a week, and then I can also arrange the decoration."

"It can be decorated without a license."

"Without a real estate certificate, I always feel that the house is not mine, and I have no idea. Try to remind me as much as possible, and I will cook you something delicious when I go back later."

Chen Guifang raised her eyebrows: "Then tell me first, what are you going to make delicious for me, if it's sheep's trotters or something, I'm not very interested."

She has been eating sheep's trotters for half a year, and has lost much enthusiasm for this delicacy.

The old lady looked curious: "Did my grandson learn any new dishes?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Dingxiang steamed pork, I don't know if you have eaten it, but I can cook it for you when I get to the store later."

Chen Guifang has never eaten this dish.

"If it's delicious, you'll be guaranteed a certificate within a week."

For such an expensive house, if you urge the developer more, they will naturally find a way.

After Feng Weiguo and the others came down from upstairs, they looked around curiously: "Where are they? Are you done?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "It's over, just sign your name, it's very simple. Let's go for a walk, let's go to the restaurant for dinner, and we have to send Senior Brother Guan to the airport after dinner."

In the car, several people were full of praise for the storefront.

Just like Xu Zhuo's first visit, they have already started planning the entire store.

When they came to Xu's restaurant, Xu Zhuo asked them to sit in a private room and chat.

He ran to the kitchen and started cooking Dingxiang steamed meat just now.

Dingxiang Steamed Pork is a special famous delicacy in Dingxiang Saibei, Shanxi Province. According to legend, it was a tribute to the local court, and now it is also one of the must-have delicacies for local folk banquets.

This dish is actually a kind of steamed pork, but because the method is more unique, it can be said to be a school of its own.

And when eating, you should cut the steamed meat into slices and dip it in garlic and vinegar water. No matter the taste or texture, it is very different from the common steamed pork.

Xu Zhuo came to the kitchen and took some potatoes.

Peel and clean, then cut into thick slices and serve on a plate.

Put it in a steamer and steam it over high heat.

When the potatoes were steaming, Xu Zhuo was not idle. He picked a piece of foreleg meat that was more lean than fat, and cut it into finger-sized dices with a knife.

After the meat is cut, put it in a basin, add salt, light soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices, scallions, and oyster sauce, stir well, seal it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator for marinating.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Zhuo took the potatoes out of the steamer.

At this time, the potatoes had been completely steamed, Xu Zhuo waited for the potato slices to cool down a bit, then poured them into a basin, and started kneading them like kneading noodles.

The potato chips quickly turned into mashed potatoes, and under Xu Zhuo's hands, the mashed potatoes became more and more sticky.

At this time, pour some water and grab two handfuls of flour.

Make the mashed potatoes into a slightly thinner batter.

Then take out the marinated meat in the refrigerator, pick out the ginger slices and scallions, put the meat into the batter just stirred, and sprinkle some pepper.

Then, whip in one direction, so that the meat and mashed potatoes are gradually strengthened.

After all the meat pieces are combined with the batter, start steaming.

Xu Zhuo brought two clean large bowls, brushed them with a layer of cooking oil, put the mixed batter and meat into the bowls, and pressed them hard after putting them in, to expel as much air as possible.

Then put it in the steamer and steam for an hour.

The method is not difficult, and there is no specific ratio of various ingredients.

If you like to eat, put less potatoes and more meat.

If you don't like meat, put less.

In addition, if you don't like to eat fatty meat, you can also use whole lean meat, but the aroma of pure lean meat is not as strong as that of fat meat, and if you eat whole lean meat, it will taste a little dry.

"What is this steamed? It looks a bit like tamales."

At some point, Xu Wenhai came over and looked at Xu Zhuo's operation, a little curious.

"Dingxiang steamed meat, you can try it later when it's steamed."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhuo began to peel the garlic, preparing to make garlic paste.

"Dingxiang steamed meat? This is very similar to steamed meat paste, and the roll tip of Zhao Ji's private kitchen is also similar to this method, but the roll tip is wrapped in egg skin."

After Xu Wenhai said this, Xu Zhuo realized that there were indeed some similarities.

However, there are too many similarities in cuisines from all over the country.

There are a lot of delicacies that seem to be brought by people who fled or immigrated.

The wars in ancient times caused people to be displaced, and also caused the spread of cooking techniques and delicacies.

The father and son chatted in the kitchen for a while, and then went to their own business.

Xu Wenhai is in charge of the entire restaurant now, and often has to go out to greet and send off some old customers, and he doesn't stay in the kitchen for long.

Even he hasn't cooked for a long time.

If the focus is on management, the craftsmanship will not be improved.

On the contrary, if you want to improve your skills, you can't be too distracted in management and operation.

No wonder the old man and Wei Junming didn't bother to manage the business, and they probably didn't have time to spend their minds on it.

If you want to improve your cooking skills, you can't spend too much time on management and operation.

He didn't need to worry about the front desk. With Zheng Jia around, there would be absolutely no problem.

But the back kitchen can't do it.

The back kitchen of the new store will recruit more people, and Jianguo will definitely not be able to suppress it.

And procurement is also inseparable from Jianguo.

Xu Zhuo thought about it, and felt that he should find a more capable head chef.

But... whom?

Xu Zhuo thought about it seriously, and a figure emerged in his mind...

Guan Junjie, who was wandering outside, was shocked all over.

For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was being targeted by a monster.

"It must be because I have been too tired these few days. After returning to Rongcheng, I should take a good rest..."

Chapter 605

After steaming the steamed meat in the pot for an hour, Xu Zhuo brought it out.

The pieces of meat and the batter have been steamed thoroughly, showing a grayish white color.

It doesn't look amazing, but the fragrance is very rich.

The smell is indeed similar to the roll tip made by Zhao Jinma.

After the temperature of the steamed meat dropped slightly, Xu Zhuo took an empty plate and put it on the workbench, then put the bowl containing the steamed meat on it, and then tapped the bottom of the bowl twice.

When making it, because the bottom of the bowl is covered with a layer of cooking oil, so with a light tap, the steamed meat in the bowl will fall into the plate.

After removing the bowl, the steamed meat looks round.

There is a step of compaction when making it, and the bottom of the bowl is greased, so the steamed meat looks smooth and slightly shiny.

A little higher than the face value.

When the steamed meat was not hot, Xu Zhuo took it out and put it on the cutting board, and cut the steamed meat into pieces about half a centimeter long.

Then put them together, restore them to the way they were before they were cut, and place them in the middle of the plate.

Slice some cucumbers on the side for garnish.

Then, he prepared another dish of dipping sauce.

It's a good preparation, just pour some mature vinegar into the mashed garlic, and then drizzle some sesame oil on it.

If you feel that the steamed meat is bland, you can also put some light soy sauce in the dipping sauce, so that the taste will be better.

Putting the steamed meat and dipping ingredients on the tray, Xu Zhuo left the kitchen and went upstairs to prepare for lunch.

At this moment, the meals in the private room upstairs are ready, and they are waiting for Xu Zhuo to cook the steamed meat.

When Xu Zhuo came in with the meat, the old lady immediately picked up the chopsticks: "Hurry up, let me taste my grandson's cooking..."

The joy is beyond words.

Guan Junjie was a little surprised, this old lady is quite rich, why does she look like she hasn't eaten?

But after thinking about it again, I understand.

Is the old lady happy with the steamed meat?

Do not!

She was happy that her grandson cooked for her.

No matter what Xu Zhuo cooks, even if she pats a cucumber in the kitchen, she will praise it as delicious.

Grandma loves it, parents like it, and the old man has been escorting him all the time.

This kind of family atmosphere is really enviable.

Xu Zhuo added a piece of steamed meat with chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and put it on the plate in front of the old lady: "Grandma, try it, it's delicious."

I don't know if it tastes good, but after cutting it open now, it looks pretty good.

The smooth section can clearly see the distribution of the meat pieces. The red ones are lean meat, the white ones are fat meat, and the middle is mixed with gray mashed potatoes.

The old lady picked it up and took a bite, and immediately gave a thumbs up: "It's good, it's good, my good grandson, grandma has bad teeth, I will make more for grandma in the future, I like to eat this steamed meat."

"No problem, give me a call when you want something to eat, and I'll drive over to make it for you right away."
