Chapter 317 Crispy Broccoli
Butter refers to the oil in the suet in the cow's belly. It is body fat. Like lard, the fat particles are thicker and need to be extracted by boiling. The butter in the butter hot pot we often eat refers to This oil is extracted from the fat layer of cows. But the butter referred to in Western food is mostly extracted from milk, that is, cream.
Most of the butter sold in supermarkets now is extracted from milk, and only a few of them contain butter extracted from cow fat. If you want to distinguish between the two, you can only judge from the ingredient list.
Jiang Feng spent a lot of time looking for butter.
Butter extracted from beef fat has a unique aroma and smell of beef. It is very suitable for cooking, stir-frying, baking, hot pot or making oil tea. It is a good choice.
Although good butter has coarse fat particles, it has a fine texture and a white-yellow color. Jiang Feng rummaged through almost all the butters in the supermarket before he finally picked out the one he was satisfied with.
After finding satisfactory butter, Jiang Feng bought a small bottle of olive oil, a little low-gluten flour and two eggs.
Extra virgin olive oil is the highest grade and best quality olive oil, with an acidity of no more than 1% and a special and elegant fragrance unique to vegetable oils. As the most suitable oil for frying, olive oil will produce an attractive aroma in the food during frying, which can be smelled from a long distance, making the originally ordinary dishes appear very attractive.
Although Renyi Canteen provides oil, they are all soybean oil and peanut oil, and the quality is not very good. You may not be able to see it when frying, but once it is used for frying, it will be inferior. Jiang Feng already discovered it the last time he made shredded yam.
It was almost 10 o'clock when Jiang Feng returned to the Renyi Canteen with the purchased items. Perhaps because it had rained in the past two days and the weather was a little cooler, there were more people cooking in the Renyi Canteen than usual. At one point, there were five or six people there, and together with the sound of cooking and chatting, it seemed very lively.
Fang Zhuoyue's porridge has been put into the pot, and he is standing by the porridge, stirring it constantly. He looks decent, and he doesn't look like someone who can boil porridge at all.
"Your fire is too big, and the bottom will definitely be burnt after a long time." Jiang Feng stepped forward and helped him turn down the fire a little. "When cooking porridge, just use high heat to boil it at the beginning. If you can't judge the heat, you'd rather Turn it down a little. If you cook the porridge and stir it for a long time, you can also stir out the rice flavor. ”
Fang Zhuoyue nodded thoughtfully.
"Xiao Jiang, come and try it for me. Do you think the taste of this soup is a bit strange?" Qian Lijuan began to seek help from the sidelines.
Jiang Feng went over and dipped a small spoon in it to taste it, the expression on his face was hard to describe.
Zhuang Lin had to drink the soup cooked by Qian Lijuan every day, which was really hard on him.
"Aunt Qian, have you blanched the ribs before putting them in the water?" Jiang Feng asked.
"The ribs still need to be blanched. Can't we just cook them directly?" Aunt Qian looked shocked.
"When stewing pork ribs, you must blanch the ribs in advance to remove the blood and water, so as to remove the fishy smell. If you don't blanch the ribs, it will become like this. You see, the color of the soup is very mixed, and there is foam around the edges. "It's caused by the blood rolling up." Jiang Feng felt that he had not gained anything else from completing tasks in the Renyi canteen these days, but his teaching level had been greatly improved.
"What about now? What to do now?" Aunt Qian asked.
"To remove the fishy smell, adding more ginger and cooking wine can also remove the fishy smell, but now that your pot of pork rib soup has been cooked like this, it is impossible to completely remove it. You can just skim off these scum when the time comes, and cook it at the end. The color of the soup when it comes out is not good-looking. The taste may not be ideal,” Jiang Feng said, “Before you stew the ribs in soup, be sure to heat the ribs in cold water and stir them a few times to remove the blood inside the ribs.”< br>
Aunt Qian nodded, took out her notebook and started taking notes.
Jiang Feng cut a few large pieces of ginger and threw them into Aunt Qian's pork rib soup, and added some more cooking wine.
An aunt who was making soup next to Aunt Qian saw that Jiang Feng was so professional and enthusiastic, so she asked, "Young man, can you come and help me take a look at my pot of soup? I think it's weird too."
Jiang Feng walked happily to the next white mouse.
In one morning, Jiang Feng checked the progress of 4 more tasks. The task progress successfully reached (36/100), but it was still far from completion.
After helping others, you have to start busy with the things at hand.
Jiang Feng carefully washed the broccoli, cut it into small pieces, and divided it into two parts.
Broccoli mixed with butter is actually very easy to make, with almost no technical difficulty.
Boil the broccoli in water until it is half-cooked, then take it out and stir-fry it with the butter over low heat. The butter will melt after preheating. It is a little difficult to stir-fry and requires some skills to make the butter evenly adhere to it. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper on the surface of the broccoli, and the dish is complete.
The steps for making crispy broccoli are a little more complicated. Jiang Feng completely uses the same method of making crispy apples without changing it at all.
Beat the eggs and add them to the low-gluten flour. Add an appropriate amount of water and beat evenly. Coat the broccoli cut into small pieces evenly with the egg liquid and fry in the pan. Because he was worried that the broccoli would not be cooked well in one fry, Jiang Feng prepared to wrap it twice in egg liquid and fry it twice, with different heats. In this way, the broccoli has two layers of fried egg skin on the surface, which is crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside. Even though the taste may not be satisfactory, the texture must be very good.
Jiang Feng turned on two pots at the same time, one for boiling water and one for frying. He was doing two things at once without any delay. To outsiders, it was an extremely dazzling feat.
People who were cooking porridge or soup in the small kitchen couldn't help but look at Jiang Feng.
Nothing else but because the olive oil when frying is so fragrant.
Even if the fried meat is not meat but a vegetarian dish like broccoli, it still makes people salivate and move their index fingers.
"Xiao Jiang, why are your fried dishes so fragrant? What did you add?" Aunt Qian asked what everyone was thinking.
"This is how you fry vegetables with olive oil. It smells good and tastes good." Jiang Feng explained.
Aunt Qian swallowed involuntarily.
"Olive oil, right? I'm going to buy a bottle of olive oil in a few days and make croquettes for my daughter. She's getting better now and should be able to eat these things." Aunt Qian said to herself.
Jiang Feng:...
In the past, Aunt Qian's current level of cooking skills and her talent in cooking made Jiang Feng very suspicious that even if she used olive oil to fry the meatballs, what would come out of the frying might not be the unique aroma of olive oil, but the unique burnt smell of Aunt Qian.
"Olive oil? This oil is too expensive. It's too luxurious to use for frying. It's okay to use it for frying during the Chinese New Year and festivals, but you can't even use it when cooking." Another aunt said.
"Expensive?" Aunt Qian had never cooked before, so she didn't know much about the prices of grain, oil and non-staple food.
"My daughter just bought this kind of olive oil to apply on her face. She said it was for skin care. I don't know what she was thinking, but she actually put the oil on her face directly. It seems to be the kind this young man uses. Such a small bottle costs more than 200 If you fry the meatballs, they will disappear." Another aunt explained to Aunt Qian.
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded. Can olive oil be used for skin care? Isn’t olive oil used for cooking?
"Applying olive oil to the face can remove stains and dirt in pores, eliminate wrinkles, and replenish moisture. The effect is better than many hydrating and spot-replenishing products." Fang Zhuoyue said.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Aren't you single? How do you know so much?
Seeing Jiang Feng looking at him, Fang Zhuoyue explained: "I saw what my junior high school classmate said in the circle of friends."
"Aunt Qian, if you want to make fried meatballs, you don't need to buy extra virgin olive oil like mine. Just buy virgin olive oil or refined olive oil. The price is much cheaper." Jiang Feng explained.
Aunt Qian nodded, indicating that she had taken note of it.
Although he was talking, Jiang Feng's hands were never idle, and he quickly prepared the crispy broccoli.
There are two large pots of broccoli, one is shiny because it is mixed with butter, and the other is wrapped in egg liquid and fried and full of fragrance. It is definitely the aristocrat among broccoli, the kind with the blessing of golden light buff.
Jiang Feng walked to the emergency room carrying two large pots of broccoli.
The emergency room was not too busy today, and it did not encounter the strange phenomenon of being extremely busy as soon as it was time to eat a few days ago. Everyone began to study in twos and threes which takeaway restaurant to order. Even Lao Zhou was thinking seriously, should he eat hot and sour Chinese cabbage or vinegary shredded potatoes today?
Let's eat hot and sour Chinese cabbage. Hot and sour Chinese cabbage is a dollar cheaper.
Lao Zhou decided to order hot and sour Chinese cabbage.
When Lao Sun saw that Jiang Shoucheng didn't actively join in the serious topic of whose takeout he should order today, he felt strange and said, "Lao Jiang, it's time to eat. Where are you going to order takeout?"
"I heard from an old internal medicine practitioner that the chefs at the newly opened store the day before yesterday are pretty good, and they have a discount for the past two days. How about we order at home?" Lao Sun suggested.
"You guys order, my little brother made me lunch." As lunch was approaching, Jiang Shoucheng felt that his face was getting greener.
"Oh, your little brother is so kind. Even my biological brother is not willing to cook for me." Lao Sun sighed, "It's just that I don't have a biological brother."
"Ha, ha ha." Jiang Shoucheng smiled bitterly.
(╥ω╥`)
Jiang Shoucheng began to miss the old Jiang Feng.
My former little brother was so down-to-earth, so innocent, and so easy to deceive. He would only cook meat dishes and would not pay attention to the heresy of broccoli.
I don’t know which traitor was behind it recently to sow discord between the two brothers, causing the younger brother to treat him like this. The eight-treasure chestnut pigeon is no longer served, and the meat and vegetables are no longer cooked. Even the minced meat is gone. The first dish is boiled broccoli without even adding salt.
As he thought about it, Jiang Shoucheng couldn't help but feel sad.
Jiang Shoucheng sniffed and felt like tears were about to fall.
Hey, what does this smell like?
Jiang Shoucheng sniffed harder.
It smells so good!
Jiang Shoucheng saw Jiang Feng, and the scent came from the vegetable basin in his hand.
He knew that his little brother loved him!ヾ()~
