Chapter 1022: Just Call It Smoothly (Additional Update for the Cat~`~ Little Angel)

"I believe you are following my method, but your lion's head is missing an ingredient, so it tastes too greasy."

Lion's Head is a Huaiyang dish, famous for its mellow, delicious flavor.

There was no problem with Ding Mao's craftsmanship, and his knife skills were very good. He washed, cut and roughly chopped the meat. The problem was that he did not add water chestnuts when making the lion's head.

Water chestnut is also called water chestnut, which is divided into two types: water water chestnut and red water chestnut.

The former has a high content of crude starch in its meat and is not suitable for cooking, but is suitable for making starch.

The latter has more water and less starch, and the meat is sweet and tender, making it the best ingredient for relieving greasiness and absorbing oil.

For ingredients that are too oily, add some red water chestnuts during the cooking process. This will not only ensure the taste, but also reduce the greasiness and make it more refreshing.

The main ingredient of lion's head is pork, with 60% fat and 40% rib meat. If you want this dish to be fatty but not greasy, you have to find a way to add some ingredients to remove some of the greasiness.

Otherwise it will be fat, greasy and unpalatable.

After hearing her words, Ding Mao was silent for two seconds and said, "Master recorded the teaching video of the finished ingredients. I know there are water chestnuts in the lion's head, but I don't know what it looks like before it is processed."

Now it was Jian Yan who was silent. She thought about it carefully and found that it was true. Moreover, no matter whether it was Ma Ti or Shui Zhi, she was the only one who called them that.

This thing has a very strange name in the empire, called water ball fruit.

It means a spherical fruit that grows in water.

It is quite cheap and, like radishes, was originally classified as a fruit and no one used it for cooking.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ding Mao endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold back the question in his heart and asked, "So, Master, what exactly is that horseshoe you are talking about?"

In short, "···Water Polo."

Everyone, "···emmm"

Ding Mao and the others subconsciously looked at Lu Jinxiu with meaningful eyes, "Master, did you know that your wife likes to change the names of ingredients?"

Lu Jinxiu nodded and said casually, "I know."

“So, what’s wrong with her liking to change her name?

Whether it's a person or an animal or plant with a name, they're meant to be called by someone. Just call them whatever comes to your mind. There's no law that requires you to call them by something that everyone knows. What do you think?

They don't want to talk. There is indeed no law that requires them to follow what the public knows. The problem is that they are chefs.

If a chef does not know the correct names of ingredients, problems will arise during the preparation and cooking process, and the result is that the taste of the cooked food will not meet expectations.

There is still a huge gap.

This braised lion's head dish is the best example.

The lion's head that should be fat but not greasy was made into a fat and greasy lion's head by him (Lao Ding).

In reality, very few people have eaten Master's Lion's Head, and their restaurant was lucky enough not to receive a single customer who had eaten it. They were successfully fooled, and the customer even praised it as delicious although a bit greasy.

If I had eaten it in another place, I would have complained about it long ago, and I still praise it.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Jian Yan felt that this was her fault. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I won't randomly change the names of ingredients in the future. If I really can't control the urge to change the names, I will also record the unprocessed ingredients so that you won't make mistakes."

"As for the Lion Head instructional video, since the error was caused by me personally, I will contact the patent center staff later to refund customers who have purchased the video."
