It seems that Xiaoman and Mianbao are also hungry.
"Then let's try making some spicy hot pot."
Mingyue stood up and took out the ingredients bought from the market from the refrigerator in the dining car.
She cast a preservation spell on the ingredients and put them in the refrigerator.
Now it is in the same condition as when I bought it.
Mingyue picked up a kitchen knife and deboned the chicken she had bought.
Bread lay beside the cooking table, watching Mingyue's actions intently.
Mingyue was very skillful. With just a slight stroke of the knife, she separated the chicken from the bones.
Because she was preparing to make chicken soup, she didn't clean the meat very cleanly.
Pour the bones of half a chicken directly into the pot and add a little water to stir-fry.
Bread asked curiously, "No need to blanch it, meow? I saw many people blanch it on the videos."
Mingyue said, "Pork or beef needs to be blanched, but if you want to make chicken soup, blanching will lose the freshness, so I usually don't blanch it, but stir-fry the chicken with water."
After the water in the pot was fried dry, Mingyue added a few slices of ginger and peppercorns. After frying until fragrant, she added hot water, some salt and pepper to the pot and started to boil.
Mingyue used a knife to cut the remaining chicken into small pieces and prepared to put it into a food processor to puree it to make chicken meatballs.
"Xiaoman, Mianbao, please help me watch the blender and don't let the meat paste get too finely mixed." Mingyue whispered.
The two little ones nodded seriously, their eyes fixed on the blender.
While mincing the meat, Mingyue washed a cabbage, removed the leaves one by one, removed the roots and stems, leaving only the leaves, and then boiled water in a pot.
"Yueyue, the meat paste is ready."
"Here I come."
After the chicken is pureed, Mingyue pours it into a large bowl.
She added appropriate amounts of salt, sugar, and chopped green onions to make the chicken meatballs more flavorful.
Then, she began to stir the chicken paste in one direction with chopsticks to allow the seasoning to be fully blended and the meat paste to be stirred vigorously.
After the water in the pot boils, blanch the cabbage leaves first, and then remove them after the leaves become soft.
After blanching, the cabbage leaves become soft and tough, which is very suitable for wrapping meat fillings.
Mingyue spread a blanched cabbage leaf flat on the chopping board, scooped up a spoonful of seasoned chicken filling and placed it on the cabbage leaf.
Then use leaves to wrap the meat filling like spring rolls. Make sure it is wrapped tightly.
Wrap half of the chicken filling in the cabbage, and prepare the remaining half for making meatballs.
Boil the water in the pot again, Mingyue scooped up a spoonful of chicken paste with a spoon and threw it into the boiling water.
As the water rolled, the chicken meatballs gradually floated to the surface and floated on the boiling water.
Mingyue gently scooped up a chicken meatball with a slotted spoon, blew on the hot air, and then took a bite.
The chicken paste is not ground very finely and still retains the meat particles.
"The seasoning is just right. You two can try the chicken meatballs first. You can't eat this yet. You have to wait until the chicken soup is ready before adding it to the soup."
Mingyue picked up a chicken meatball and gave it to Xiaoman and Bread, then picked up the previously wrapped vegetable meatball, sealed it and put it into boiling water, adding some black pepper and white sugar to the water.
Prepare to cook for a while, take out the vegetable balls after they are cooked, and put them in after the chicken soup is ready.
As time goes by, the vegetable-wrapped meat in the pot gradually becomes more flavorful.
The cabbage leaves become soft, sticky and sweet after being stewed.
The meat filling absorbs the fragrance of the cabbage, becoming more tender and juicy.
The whole kitchen was filled with the smell of chicken soup and pork wrapped in vegetables, which made people salivate.
Feeling that the vegetable-wrapped meat was almost cooked, Mingyue stood in front of the pot, gently lifted the lid, scooped up a vegetable-wrapped meat with a spoon, and divided it into three pieces.
After giving two pieces to Bread and Xiaoman, she picked up one piece for herself, blew on it gently to get some heat, and then took a bite.
The sweetness of the leaves and the deliciousness of the meat filling are intertwined in the mouth, and because chicken is used, it tastes very refreshing and not greasy at all.
Take out the other vegetables and meat in the pot and set them aside with the chicken meatballs.
She picked up the spring water tofu she had bought, placed it on an iron net, and clamped it on a stainless steel basin.
He picked up the spray gun, and with a light "puff" sound, a beam of blue flame instantly sprayed out from the spray gun.
Mingyue aimed the blowtorch at the tofu, letting the blazing flames lick the surface of the tofu evenly.
In just a few moments, the originally jade-white tofu turned an attractive brown color.
Baked tofu! Done.
Thinking of the spicy hot pot at other restaurants, Mingyue felt a little craving for fried eggs. Since she couldn’t go to the store now, she might as well make one herself to try.
The water used was the leftover water from cooking the meat wrapped in vegetables. After Mingyue boiled the water, she put the eggs into the water, boiled them for 5-6 minutes, took them out and put them in ice water to cool them down.
While waiting for it to cool, Mingyue mixed a crispy batter.
Mix low-gluten flour, corn starch, and potato starch in a ratio of 4:2:1, add a small amount of baking powder, salt, and water, and stir evenly. Finally, add 30 grams of oil and stir into a yogurt-like state.
After the eggs have been rinsed with ice water, they are easier to peel. After peeling the shells, throw the half-cooked eggs into the batter, coat them with batter, heat oil in a pan, and throw them into the pan to fry.
Because the eggs are already cooked, you can take them out after the batter on the surface is fried thoroughly.
While the eggs were frying, the delicious aroma of chicken soup had already emerged from the pot, dominating the entire car.
Mianbao and Xiaoman kept twitching their noses, sniffing the tempting smell of chicken soup in the air. The image of the delicious chicken soup with a layer of yellow oil floating on it appeared in their minds.
"Xiao Man, help me open the car window a little."
"Okay."
The car window rolled down, and the aroma of chicken soup flowed outside. A running creature stopped, stood there and sniffed.
Mingyue was preparing to fry the eggs, and the chicken soup was almost ready. She took out the seasonings she had bought and prepared to make a dipping sauce.
Suddenly, the trunk door of the car was being pulled at by some creature with its claws.
