Chapter 393 Fried Bean Odule

Back in the kitchen, Zhao Xiaojing took a look around as usual, took a look at the dishes Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan were cooking, and then came to Nie Xiuqi.

Today, she made an appointment with Nie Xiuqi to practice his dish of braised pig's head with bean dregs. In the morning, Zhao Xiaojing had already bought the ingredients according to Nie Xiuqi's material list, and even used the quick module to process the pig's hair that had been burnt by the boss.

Normally, the boss would help cut up the pig heads used for the braised pork head in the store in advance, but Zhao Xiaojing didn't know what Nie Xiuqi's requirements were for this one, so she told the boss not to cut it up and just bring back the whole head.

At this time, Nie Xiuqi had already washed the pig's head with clean water. Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing was free, he began to shave the bones of the pig's head.

First, cut diagonally along the pig's chin from bottom to top until you reach the broken neck. Then, take the sharp knife in your right hand and make a circle along the root of the tongue at the broken neck. Lift and pull upwards with your left hand, and the entire pig's tongue will be taken out.

Next, peel off the pig's face along the jawbone, take out the jawbone and pig skull, and then cut the remaining pig head meat into large diamond-shaped pieces and wash them again.

After cleaning, Nie Xiuqi took two gauze bags and added various marinade ingredients. After soaking the marinade bags in water, he put them into the casserole together with the pig head and the removed pig bones. After putting them into the casserole, he thought about it and scooped a spoonful of the marinade from Zhao Xiaojing's stew pot, then turned on the fire to cook, and turned around to start processing the bean dregs.

The bean dregs were given directly by the tofu shop owner. When he heard that Zhao Xiaojing wanted bean dregs, he took out a big bag and said it was a cheap thing and didn't charge any money.

Nie Xiuqi put the bean dregs into a gauze bag, rinsed it twice and put it into the steamer.

"The master chef who makes this dish always hides the bean dregs when frying them, and I never see how he fries them. My cooking is just a vague imitation, and it tastes too rough." Nie Xiuqi adjusted the heat and said while staring at the steamer.

"Then the essence may be in the fried bean dregs. Let's try it later." Zhao Xiaojing nodded and was very curious about these two magical combinations.

Ten minutes later, the bean dregs were steamed. Nie Xiuqi took out the gauze bag and let it cool, then squeezed out the water and put it into the pot to stir-fry.

There is no special skill in how Nie Xiuqi stir-fries bean dregs. Just use a spoonful of lard and a little salt as seasoning, then stir-fry until the moisture is dried and fragrant, then remove from the pan.

The pig's head would take several more hours to cook, so Zhao Xiaojing tasted it with fried bean dregs.

Well, how should I put it, I didn’t taste the fragrance, but the feeling of my throat being cut was real.

Nie Xiuqi didn't seem to have any expectations. When he saw Zhao Xiaojing tasting it, he didn't stare at her blankly waiting for her comment as usual. Instead, he just quietly added half a cup of boiling water to Zhao Xiaojing's cup.

"Okay, thank you." After adding half a cup of boiling water, the temperature was just right. Zhao Xiaojing took a few sips and felt her throat gradually soothe. "Let's wait until the pig's head is healed before trying it. You really can't taste it on its own."

Nie Xiuqi nodded and put the bean dregs aside. Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing had nothing to say, he let the pig's head continue to cook and turned around to practice the lotus pond stir-fry that Zhao Xiaojing said needed improvement.

Zhao Xiaojing drooped her eyelids, stared at the bean dregs and opened the quality evaluation module.

Stir-fried soybean dregs: Level 4. The soybean dregs used are too coarse, the soybeans are not of high quality, and the heat is not controlled well.

Level 4, besides the quality issues themselves, is it just a matter of heat? So is the poor quality too good or not good enough? Zhao Xiaojing frowned and walked away from the operating table.

"That fish...are we going to cook it at noon?" Wan Yuyue asked hesitantly as she passed by and glanced at the silver carp by the pond.

"Do it, you want to do it?"

"No, no, no, no! I'm just asking."

"Didn't you want to make fish head stew last time? If you want to make it, just do it. This head is just big enough, and I will make the fish body then." Seeing that Wan Yuyue seemed to be very concerned about the fish, Zhao Xiaojing waved her hand generously.

"No, no, you do it. I'll just stir-fry some vegetarian food for lunch. Don't be polite!" Wan Yuyue was shocked.

"Then Senior Brother Yun, do you want to do it?" Seeing that Wan Yuyue really didn't want to do it, Zhao Xiaojing asked Yun Yongyuan for his opinion again. As soon as she turned around, she saw Yun Yongyuan shaking his head like a rattle.

"I, I'm a vegetarian too."

"Aren't you all just pining for these fresh ingredients? Where did the sun come out from today?" Zhao Xiaojing looked at the two of them in bewilderment, then turned to look at Nie Xiuqi, who was concentrating on cooking. "So, Senior Brother Nie, do you want to try making mixed fish soup with this fish bone?"

Ever since Nie Xiuqi and Zhao Xiaojing worked together to create the mixed fish soup, he would occasionally buy some fresh fish and shrimp from the market to test the taste.

Although Zhao Xiaojing already had the system recipes, she was still happy to see the restaurant chefs experimenting. She didn't try to stop them, but instead quietly shared some of Nie Xiuqi's system modifications. Nie Xiuqi listened intently, drawing inspiration from them and experimenting with new ideas the next day.

"Okay." Nie Xiuqi agreed immediately.

"Then I'll make pickled fish and chopped pepper fish head later, and I'll use the remaining fish bones to make mixed fish soup for you. It'll be just the right base for the pickled fish."

"good."

The fate of the silver carp, which was still opening and closing its mouth in the basin, had already been decided. Zhao Xiaojing walked towards the pool, rolled up her sleeves, and struggled to lift the rope on the fish's mouth.

"Swish!" The fish's tail splashed water again, making a final struggle.

"Bang." The club hit the fish's head, and the whole fish immediately stopped moving. Zhao Xiaojing wiped the water off her face and started to cut with the knife.

Wild silver carp has a big head and a small body. Zhao Xiaojing separated the head and body of the fish and found that the fish head alone could almost fill half of the casserole used for cooking in the store. Only then did she realize how big a 26-jin fish was.

"Can you help me?" The pool was facing the direction of Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan. Seeing the two of them looking over here from time to time, Zhao Xiaojing looked up and asked.

The fish is really too big. They want to use the shortcut module, but they keep looking at it.

In this case, no one should be idle.

Wan Yuyue and Yun Yongyuan straightened up instantly, wandered around busily for a while, and then started a heated discussion about the dish in Wan Yuyue's pot.

"Junior Sister Zhao said that the thickening of pig liver should be thin and bright. Yours is quite thin."

"I don't think so! Mine may look thin, but it may not taste thin. How about you try it?"

"I, I don't want to...try it yourself?"

"I don't want to either... How about I stir-fry some shredded potatoes?"

"Shredded potatoes are good! I'll get you some potatoes!"

"I'm going too!"

???

Zhao Xiaojing looked at them blankly, pretending not to hear and behaving abnormally. She dropped the freshly cooked vegetables in the pot to get the potatoes, and then took the potatoes and returned them together.

What the hell are these two doing? They don't need to ask for help. They've always offered to help.

"What are you two doing? You sound weird." Zhao Xiaojing walked straight towards them, wearing gloves stained with fish scales and blood.

"YUE..."

"vomit……!"
