Chapter 13 Bitter Melon
Sun Datou pretended to leave, and sure enough, the barrage of comments became dense at this moment.
[Why are there only bitter melons? This shop is too funny. No wonder there are no customers.]
I never thought bayberry and bitter melon would appear in the same dish. Whether people like bitter melon or not, they were all silent...
[Host, don't leave. Let's eat here. Bitter melon feast is so rare!]
[These two girls are so beautiful, what's the big deal about eating bitter melon? Hurry up and take more pictures of the girls! ]
Sun Datou was secretly delighted, but he sat down with a helpless look on his face. "It seems that the audience just wants to see me eat bitter melon. Even though I hate it, I have to eat it today for the audience!"
There was no falsehood in what he said. He really had never liked bitter melon since he was a child. It seemed that he didn't need to act at all later. He could just express his true feelings directly.
"Beautiful lady, serve the food! Today we want to try your bitter melon feast. Bring out all the dishes!"
With a big wave of his hand, Sun Datou was very generous.
Bai Mengmeng walked into the kitchen.
Bitter melon tastes bitter, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be made into delicious food.
Now is the season when bitter melons are ripe. The local bitter melons are also quite famous. They are mellow, refreshing and crisp, bitter with a sweet taste, and have a long aftertaste. They are not bad at all.
In addition to Bai Mengmeng's own golden finger, she decided to cook well today. Even if it was bitter melon, she had to make it into a unique delicacy so that the two anchors would not be able to find fault with it.
The soup and bayberry and bitter melon are already prepared and kept warm. Just serve them.
Although the name sounds a bit like a dark dish, bayberry and bitter melon is a traditional delicacy.
There are only three ingredients: rock sugar, bayberry, and most importantly, bitter melon.
Put these three things in a pot and simmer over low heat. As time goes by, the bayberry will turn into jam and wrap around the bitter melon, and the bitter melon will also absorb the sweetness of the bayberry and rock sugar.
The key to this dish lies in the proportion of the three ingredients when combined, as well as the control of the heat.
Bai Mengmeng has already mastered the art. Even though she hates bitter melon tea the most, she thinks this dish is delicious.
As for bitter melon and bone soup, locals also drink it frequently. It is not unusual at all and has been cooked on low heat for two or three hours.
Bai Mengmeng plans to make bitter melon stuffed with meat first. She will cut the bitter melon into circles, stuff it with seasoned meat paste, fry both sides, add a unique sauce, and a delicious and simple bitter melon stuffed with meat is ready.
When processing the bitter melon, Bai Mengmeng was very careful and dug out all the white flesh inside the bitter melon.
To her taste, a bit of bitterness would make it more flavorful, but today's customer said he doesn't like bitter melon, so it would be better to remove the bitterness as much as possible.
Blanch the bitter melon rings in boiling water with oil and salt for one minute, then soak in cold water.
On the one hand, this can reduce the bitter taste, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the bitter melon is green, fresh and crisp.
The two of them didn't have to wait too long before the bitter melon banquet was served on the table.
The first thing put on the table was bayberry and bitter melon. Sun Datou quickly took a serious photo with his mobile phone. He originally thought it was a dark dish, but it turned out to be quite good.
The original color was purple and black. If he didn't know that the raw material was bitter melon, he would find it hard to imagine why he didn't see the panic.
"My dear audience, let me try it first to see what it tastes like."
Sun Datou hesitated for a few seconds and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks.
First he sniffed it, and it didn't have a bitter taste, but rather a sweet taste.
When I put it into the recorder, I tasted the sour and sweet bayberry at first, and then the refreshing bitter melon appeared. It had a unique taste.
The bitter melon is cooked for a long time, and under the effect of sugar, it is no longer soft. Instead, it tastes a bit like candied fruit, but without that greasy sweetness.
The dish was delicious, far beyond his imagination.
Sun Datou was a little embarrassed for a moment. He was indeed a very stingy and realistic person, but he still had a bottom line deep in his heart.
This dish is really delicious. I would feel guilty if I insisted that it was particularly unpalatable.
But he changed his mind and decided that to be honest, it didn't seem to matter much. Being able to turn a mediocre bitter melon into a delicious meal might be even more exciting.
As soon as this thought came to mind, he said bluntly, "Dear fans, this is truly delicious. It doesn't have the bitter taste of bitter melon, but is instead sour and sweet, and very refreshing. It seems that appearances are not to be judged. I didn't expect this ordinary little shop to have such delicious food. I suggest everyone come and try it!"
After finishing it, he tasted the bitter melon stuffed with meat.
I don’t know how the bitter melon is processed, but the two are tightly stuck together. Once you put it in your mouth, the fresh and fragrant taste of the meat and the refreshing taste of the bitter melon are mixed together. You can feel that the taste is very rich, and coupled with the sweet aftertaste of the bitter melon itself, it is simply impossible to stop.
Although he doesn't like bitter melon, Sun Datou has eaten a lot of vegetables stuffed with meat. He has never tasted one that is so well fused.
For a moment, he even forgot that he was broadcasting live and took another bite of the bitter melon.
This dish is one of Bai Mengmeng's specialties. "Jinsha" is an elegant name, but it is actually salted egg yolk. In order to enhance the taste, she uses seafood duck eggs, stir-fries them until they become sandy, and then adds thin slices of bitter melon.
This dish may seem simple, but in fact, it pays special attention to the heat. Even a slight difference can affect the taste. However, with her talent, Bai Mengmeng naturally made the most perfect dish.
Sun Datou was not afraid of the heat at this moment and put the bitter melon directly into his mouth.
The salted egg yolk tastes fresh and fragrant, the bitter melon is sweet but not bitter, crispy and tender, and it goes really well with rice!
"Boss, do you have rice?" Sun Datou kept eating.
Ergou on the side was dumbfounded. What happened to Chow Tai Fook? He was live streaming, why did he suddenly stop talking? The barrage of comments was already noisy.
[Is the host being paid? It feels like an advertisement.]
[This is definitely advertising. I remember Sun Datou used to love meat, and he just said he didn't like bitter melon. Now he has this expression. I can't tell. Your acting is pretty good. You can become an actor.]
[It doesn't look like bitter melon, but it looks delicious.]
[Impossible! I will never eat bitter melon in my lifetime. I hope bitter melon disappears from this world completely!]
[Bitter melon lovers, this is not allowed! I love bitter melon so much, it's the best. Where is this shop? I want to go now!]
It was not until he had finished half a bowl of rice that Sun Datou showed a satisfied expression. He drank the soup while interacting with the barrage.
"I swear I didn't take any money. If I did, I'd get hit by a car! This bitter melon is incredibly delicious!"
Hey, this soup seems to be delicious too, Sun Datou's face was full of surprise.
When Bai Mengmeng was making the soup, she specially added dried tangerine peel and candied dates, which made the bitter melon sweet and especially appetizing.
