Chapter 223 Cold Pot Skewers
Hot?
Feeling disappointed?
"Ah! I thought of a food that Ah Ming should like and you will definitely like it too!" Reminded by the audience, Ye Jiaojiao clapped her hands excitedly, and remembered a food that she had always wanted to make but had no chance to try.
Chuan Chuan Xiang.
In ancient China, when delicious food was at its peak and popular in the streets and alleys, stewed pot, dry pot, hot pot and shabu-shabu became very popular.
The name Chuan Chuan Xiang comes from the fact that it is a snack in which various vegetables are skewered on bamboo sticks and then put into a boiling hot pot to eat.
At the same time, Chuan Chuan Xiang can also be said to be another form of hot pot, so it is often called a small hot pot. However, what Ye Jiaojiao is going to make today is not Chuan Chuan Xiang, but the cold pot Chuan Chuan that is extended from Chuan Chuan Xiang.
Although the word "cold" is used in cold pot skewers, it is actually hot, but the "pot" is cold.
Cold pot is mainly a cooking name. It does not mean that the dish is cold, but refers to cold pot with hot dishes.
As for ingredients, there is plenty of food in the Fifth Army’s kitchen, so Ye Jiaojiao doesn’t need to worry.
She rummaged through her locker but couldn't find anything to replace the skewers, so she started a kitchen robot to help her with the skewers needed for the cold pot skewers, and then began to prepare the pot base needed for the cold pot skewers.
The most important thing about the cold pot skewers is that the soup base should be spicy and fragrant.
It is not good if it is only spicy but not fragrant, and it is not delicious if it is only fragrant but not spicy.
For cold pot skewers, the pot base is the source of its flavor. If the pot base lacks flavor, the flavor of the cold pot skewers will lose more than half.
Before preparing the base of the pot, Ye Jiaojiao made some plans and decided to start two stoves at the same time. She put a casserole on one side, took out the pork bones and old duck, washed them and made soup.
In order to improve the nutrition of the soup base, in addition to the normal seasonings, Ye Jiaojiao also added some Chinese medicinal herbs that are beneficial to the body into the casserole.
On the other side, she placed a wok on the stove, heated the butter in the wok, then added a little bit of Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, green onions, ginger, and cloves, poured in some rice wine, soy sauce, and sugar, and then added the bean paste and stir-fried.
The smell of the ingredients when they are stir-fried is very strong, and the spicy and pungent aroma is very aggressive. The fragrant, spicy and pungent smell instantly spreads to the live broadcast room.
Because Ye Jiaojiao didn't directly say what she was going to make for midnight snack, the audience watching this scene subconsciously thought that what was in the pot was their midnight snack.
Live broadcast room comment area——
What is the host cooking? I don't see any meat!
[There are no foreign plants either, they are red and sticky.]
It's so strong! I feel like my nose is going to break. I'm sneezing non-stop. I was a little sleepy, but now I'm instantly alert.
[It smells and feels a bit like the crayfish I made before? ]
What if I want to have a taste secretly?
[Anyone want to try it? Or should we go grab a bite from the pot?]
[Not good. I remember there was an analysis post on Starnet that specifically said not to get too close to a young lady while she's cooking.]
[I've seen that post too. It's okay. Let's go.]
It was difficult to be distracted while taking care of two stoves at the same time, so Ye Jiaojiao did not pay attention to the live broadcast room. Without her reminder, the curious residents of the empire started to move, forgetting the lessons of their predecessors, and moved towards the stove one by one.
As luck would have it, Ye Jiaojiao turned up the heat and added a little vinegar to the wok. With a bang, a puff of white smoke came out, choking many people.
[Cough cough cough cough——Oh my god——I’m choking to death——]
[What’s going on?! My eyes hurt! ! !]
[Luckily, I turned off the five senses sharing function. How clever!]
[Did the pot explode? Bang! It scared me!]
The comment section was filled with chaotic barrages of comments.
With these 'predecessors' in front, the rest of the audience calmed down.
The soup made with old duck is not as strong in flavor as the soup made with stir-fried ingredients, and it bubbles gurglingly.
Ye Jiaojiao saw that it was almost done, so she poured the soup into the wok and boiled it together with the fried ingredients. After adding salt to adjust the taste, she turned to low heat to warm the bottom of the pot.
The bottom of the pot was warming on the stove, and the robot had prepared about five or six hundred skewers. Ye Jiaojiao quickly called for a stop. She was responsible for slicing various ingredients, and the robot helped her put the ingredients on the skewers.
One hand passing the machine to the other, the man and the machine cooperated very well.
Soon a large pile of skewers was piled up on the workbench.
Unlike hotpot, which requires you to cook and simmer the food yourself, cold pot skewers need to be cooked by the chef and then placed in the pot and served to customers.
Ye Jiaojiao put the prepared skewers into the pot in batches.
Each handful contains both meat and vegetables.
The soldiers of the Fifth Army may really not like to eat vegetarian food
Ye Jiaojiao searched the storage room and only found lotus root slices, potatoes, sea cabbage, and kelp, but the meat dishes were completely different.
Lop-eared rabbits, cuckoo chickens, water buffaloes, various fish, aquatic products, poultry, as well as processed mushroom livers, chicken feet, duck feet, and duck necks.
It can be said that there are mountains of meat in the warehouse full of creatures flying in the sky, swimming in the water, crawling on the ground, and even many exotic beasts that Ye Jiaojiao cannot recognize.
Ye Jiaojiao was so amazed by what she saw.
Turn off the heat, put the first batch of cold pot skewers and the pot together to the tasting area of the live broadcast room, Ye Jiaojiao mixed a few more condiments for everyone, and told everyone that they could start eating: "What I made today is called cold pot skewers, and this is my first time trying it. Everyone try it and see if it suits your taste."
In order to make it look more visually impactful, Ye Jiaojiao specially chose a large black porcelain plate to contrast with the red chili oil.
In the porcelain plate, a layer of red chili oil floated on the bottom of the pot, with bits of white sesame seeds floating on the surface, and each string of sesame seeds was dipped in soup.
There are both meat and vegetarian dishes, and they all have a fresh, spicy flavor.
As soon as it was put on the live broadcast room, everyone's eyes were wide open.
'Hanyuan' thought that he was a very reserved and polite person in his daily life. He really liked Ye Jiaojiao's food live broadcast. Through observation, he also felt that Ye Jiaojiao, like him, liked the culture of ancient China.
I will follow this live broadcast room whenever I have time.
Occasionally interrupt to pass the time.
Before, when he won the prize of snail noodles, 'Hanyuan' was not particularly excited and remained calm. But now, looking at the food on the porcelain plate, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and he felt ashamed when he heard the sound.
Approaching the porcelain plate, 'Hanyuan' took a skewer of beef slices, and without dipping it in the condiments in the prepared dish, he held it in his hand at first, taking only a small bite tentatively, until his entire taste buds were impacted and his movements quickened.
It wasn't until his teeth felt empty and he frowned uncomfortably that he realized he had eaten all the large bowl of skewers that the host had put on the live broadcast room.
All that was left in my hand were bare sticks.
There are no longer a few viewers like 'Hanyuan', it can even be said that there are many of them. Many of them only come to their senses after they have finished eating.
Live broadcast room comment area——
Han Yuan: [Host, aren't the portions of food on the livestream a bit small?]
Since the cold pot skewers were put on the live broadcast room, no one has posted any comments, everyone is busy eating.
Now, Hanyuan's barrage broke the silence in the comment area.
[Miss! This isn't enough! I ate it all in one sitting! My child is still hungry! Can you put another bowl on the shelf? No, two bowls!]
【Gone??? Gone just like that???】
[It's too little. I just finished eating it and it's gone. Oh, my heart aches.]
