Chapter 269 Dongpo Pork and Braised Pork are Different
After saying hello to Si Ming, Ye Jiaojiao went out, ready to go play with her naughty little brother.
Halfway through the journey, she suddenly stopped and sent a message to Elena.
bite--
Ye Jiaojiao: "Elena, is Ye Xiao with you?"
bite--
Elena: "We just separated a few minutes ago."
On the other side, Elena quickly sent back a message. After reading it, Ye Jiaojiao turned around and walked back.
Si Ming, who was thinking that his wife had gone out to play and should work overtime, saw his wife coming back and raised his head from a pile of documents: "Why are you back?" Is she not going to bully his brother-in-law anymore?
"A Ming, it's been a while since I last did a live broadcast?" Although Ye Jiaojiao was asking, she walked towards the small kitchen without stopping.
Si Ming guessed that Ye Jiaojiao was preparing for a live broadcast, so he put down his work and followed her: "Yeah, it's been almost half a month."
Before leaving the Capital Star, Ye Jiaojiao live-streamed her crab noodles for the last time, which was well-received by the audience. After arriving at the Mining Star, she live-streamed a picnic temporarily, but it was terminated halfway due to the appearance of Jim and others.
Later, I went to the black market and to Weil's house. Now I have returned to the capital star and studied with Ye Xiao obediently. It has been more than half a month since I last did a live broadcast.
This is the first time Ye Jiaojiao has taken such a long leave.
She originally thought that Ye Xiao was so angry with her that he didn't eat dinner, so she planned to make him some delicious food and send it over to appease that arrogant little brother. Then she remembered the live broadcast and felt guilty at first.
As the number one fan of the anchor Ye Jiaojiao, Si Ming would pay attention to the message board of the live broadcast room and the dynamics on Star Network from time to time. With a little thought, he guessed what his little wife was mumbling about.
This time, Si Ming rarely said anything to comfort anyone. Instead, he had a sinister urge to see his little wife having fun. He abruptly said hello and left the small kitchen.
Standing there in disbelief, Ye Jiaojiao didn't expect that her Ah Ming would actually abandon her like this.
In a fit of anger and impulse, I directly turned on the live broadcast device and clicked the login button.
Ding ding ding——
On the big screen, densely packed system prompts popped up.
XXXXX entered the [I am a chef] live broadcast room
XXX gave 99, 999, 9999, 9999 Star Coins
Live broadcast room comment area——
【Finally! It’s on! Airing!】
[Anchor, you finally showed up.]
[In my lifetime series, I thought I would never see Miss Sister start airing, but unexpectedly, Miss Sister actually appeared! ]
[Anchor! How could you be absent for so long? The only thing on the notice board is a request for leave, and your StarNet account has nothing on it. This is too much!]
[Miss, please, don't learn from our Imperial Light Major General Si. He hasn't posted anything in years, like he's a missing person. Promise me, we won't learn from him in the future, okay? He's not a good role model!]
[Hmph! You stinky woman! How dare you show up!]
[Hey, streamer, you've really been gone for a long time this time. I thought you were going to quit. I even contacted the live streaming platform's customer service a few days ago. They just wouldn't reveal anything. It's frustrating.]
As soon as the show started, the screen was filled with condemnation comments. This was the first time Ye Jiaojiao had been condemned by so many viewers since the show started. She stood there in a daze, waving awkwardly: "Hi, good evening, everyone!"
As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
fine!
Stay calm!
We are not good.
[We are not good at all! We will cry in front of you in a minute!]
Eighteen days, three hours, and fifty-one seconds have passed since the last time this young lady went off the air. Honestly, I'm completely sick!!!
Ye Jiaojiao's leave this time was indeed quite long. After returning to the capital star, she rested for a day and then started thinking about studying, but temporarily neglected the live broadcast room.
"I'm sorry, my schedule is so full right now." After apologizing sincerely, Ye Jiaojiao thought about the fact that the live broadcast was also a last-minute one, and said, "It's getting late today, so we can't do it too late. How about this, we'll go live as usual at noon tomorrow, and I'll prepare a small lucky draw for everyone!"
[Is there a raffle? Great! Thank you for your hard work, sister!]
So, will the live broadcast resume tomorrow?
【receive. 】
[Hmph! All you know how to do is appease us with a lottery! It's the same trick every time, and you never think of anything new!]
"It doesn't matter whether it's new or not, as long as it's useful." Everyone's criticism of Ye Jiaojiao was mostly a joke, with some small complaints at most. Ye Jiaojiao smiled and joked with everyone, and the matter was quickly covered up.
Arriving at the locker, Ye Jiaojiao had already thought of what dish she was going to make. As she went out to get the ingredients, she said, "My naughty little brother is throwing a tantrum and won't eat, so I just wanted to make him something delicious, so I started cooking at the last minute. There will be a dish of Dongpo pork, two tofu dishes, and then a vegetarian dish."
Dongpo pork, also known as rolled pork, belongs to the Zhejiang cuisine, with pork as the main ingredient. Speaking of Dongpo pork, before cooking it, Ye Jiaojiao looked towards the big screen and asked, "Do you remember the braised pork I made before?"
Live broadcast room comment area——
【Remember! It smells so good!】
[The streamers were having a lucky draw, and I even won a portion of braised pork!]
[Is it the first time the anchor cooked crayfish? ]
[Yeah, I remember that too. The outer layer of the braised pork was a little tough, and the fat was visible, but it didn't taste greasy at all.]
The shrimp feast that Ye Jiaojiao prepared before was also served with sweet and sour spare ribs and braised pork, which can be regarded as the most sumptuous meal since the live broadcast.
"Before we start making Dongpo Pork, I need to explain that in ancient China, some people would call it red-braised pork. In reality, the two are completely different." Ye Jiaojiao flipped through the recipe provided by the system and briefly explained: "Red-braised pork emphasizes a reddish color, achieved by frying the meat with sugar. The longer it's cooked, the more flavorful and firmer the meat becomes. Dongpo Pork, on the other hand, is stewed and steamed, resulting in a smooth and fragrant texture."
Dongpo pork is characterized by its thin skin and tender meat braised in fine wine, resulting in a bright red color, mellow flavor, rich juice, crispy and tender without breaking, fragrant and glutinous without being greasy. Its unique "braised fragrance" is its biggest feature, while the characteristic of braised pork is that it melts in the mouth, which contrasts with the "crispness" and "braised fragrance" of Dongpo pork.
Braised pork has to be cooked slowly over low heat, which requires time and effort. Therefore, the braised pork is particularly bright in color and has sufficient flavor. The most important thing is that the oil in the meat has been boiled out, making it fat but not greasy and with a first-class taste.
After briefly explaining the difference between the two, Ye Jiaojiao didn't delay any longer.
Take a piece of half fat and half lean pork belly, cut it into small pieces of even size, about 4 cm square, and then tie each piece of meat in a cross with string. After blanching the pork belly, drain the water and set aside.
A clay pot is needed to stew Dongpo pork. The clay pot in the small kitchen was used to make porridge before. Ye Jiaojiao simply took a new clay pot, put a bamboo grate on the bottom of the casserole, and placed the blanched pork belly skin side down in the casserole. After placing the pork belly, she placed ginger slices, green onions, rock sugar and dates on top of the meat in turn, and finally added salt, sugar, rice wine and other seasonings.
It should be noted here that the soup must be level with the meat.
After all the preparations were done, Ye Jiaojiao brought the casserole to the stove, first turned it to medium heat and brought it to a boil, then turned it to low heat and let it simmer slowly.
