Chapter 53 Let’s Eat Hot Pot
Except for Shen Zhaonian and his son Shen Keting, the rest of the Shen family had already gathered in the side hall.
Several maids were arranging the dishes, and the table was full.
In addition to beef, there are also meatballs, vegetables, bean curd, various vegetables, and mushrooms.
There was a small dish of light brown sauce in front of each seat.
Seeing the two of them, Zhou waved, "That's great, go wash your hands quickly, dinner is waiting for you."
Shen Zhaonian and Shen Keting nodded hurriedly, washed their hands quickly, and took their seats.
Shen Keheng dipped a little of the sauce in front of him with chopsticks and put it into his mouth——
This sauce is fresh, salty, and has a subtle sweetness, giving it a unique flavor.
"Zheng'er, what is this sauce?"
Chen Huazheng asked someone to put the beef balls, which were not easy to cook, into the pot first. "This is shacha sauce. You can dip the meat in it later. It's a perfect match with beef hotpot."
Beef hotpot pursues the natural and original beauty of freshness, with freshness being the most important factor.
The beauty lies in freshness and purity, and the taste should be light.
The hot pot soup base does not need to be too strong. Just use beef bone broth as the base and add some white radish and corn.
Only such a pure, light and natural soup base can better highlight the most authentic deliciousness of beef.
Shacha sauce can be said to be the soul of beef hotpot.
Shen Keheng nodded, staring at the pot expectantly.
Shen Kesi suddenly said: "Zheng'er, can we eat the beef balls now?"
Chen Huazheng looked at the steaming pot. The originally reddish beef balls had turned dark brown. Each one was round and plump, floating on the surface of the soup.
She curled her eyebrows and picked up the colander to scoop out the beef balls from the pot. "It's ready to eat. Take out the beef balls."
To enjoy the hotpot, you have to cook it yourself. The maids followed Shen Huazheng's instructions and placed a colander in front of everyone early in the morning.
The others had already been ravenous, and seeing this, they picked up the colander in front of them, followed Shen Huazheng's example, scooped up the beef balls, and put them into the bowl.
Chen Huazheng picked up the beef balls from the bowl, rolled them in the sauce dish, and did not forget to remind others.
“Remember to dip it in the sauce before eating.”
She placed the beef ball to her lips, blew on it, and took a light bite.
The beef balls are made from pure fresh meat, which is tender and elastic with a crispy taste.
Take a bite, and the delicious juice inside will gush out, making the tip of your tongue feel slightly numb.
The layer of shacha sauce wrapped around the beef balls is slightly salty and slightly sweet, which maximizes the deliciousness of the beef balls. After chewing carefully, you can still feel the sweetness of the beef, and it tastes very delicious.
Shen Huazheng narrowed her eyes slightly and chewed the beef balls with a look of enjoyment.
Well, it tastes pretty good.
The other members of the Shen family were also busy eating the beef balls, which were very chewy, full of meaty aroma, and refreshing and chewy.
Delicious, really delicious!!
Although the Shen family's appetite has been spoiled, every time Shen Huazheng makes a move, she always brings them different surprises.
After eating the beef balls, Shen Keheng set his eyes on the sliced beef.
"Zheng'er, can we have some hot pot?"
Everyone else also looked at Shen Huazheng, waiting for her answer.
Chen Huazheng nodded, "It's time to cook the meat. These are all meats from different parts of the cow. The tastes are very different, and the cooking time is also different."
The beauty of beef hotpot lies in its fine cuts and the great attention paid to knife skills.
The chef carefully classifies the meat and uses different cutting methods to bring out the best taste of different parts of the cow.
