Chapter 690 Pork Jerky
Taking out a fresh-keeping box containing half a pig from the system warehouse, Jian Yan expertly separated the pork, separating the bones, front leg meat, shoulder meat, pork belly...
It took more than twenty minutes of work to finally take care of this half pig weighing over a hundred pounds in an orderly manner.
Pork jerky tastes best when made with pork hind legs.
It would definitely not be possible to make it in time according to the traditional process, so she decided to make ready-to-eat pork jerky.
Jian Yan skillfully removed the pure lean meat from the skinned and fascia-removed hind leg and chopped it into minced meat until the minced meat became delicate and sticky.
Then add spice powder, light soy sauce, cooking wine, premium fish sauce, sugar and other seasonings in turn, stir vigorously clockwise with chopsticks until the meat filling is firm and then marinate.
If you want the meat jerky to be flavorful, it needs to be marinated for a longer time. Jian Yan doesn’t have the patience to wait that long, so he uses the black technology time accelerator.
After setting a time, she took out a whole piece of pork belly, chopped it into pieces and marinated it with spice powder. She also washed the casings and stuffed them into ten pounds of sausage.
As for the pork knuckle, she stewed it and prepared to eat it for lunch.
The ribs and large bone sticks are also marinated to make braised ribs and bone sticks.
While we were busy, the owner of the seafood section arrived to deliver the goods.
However, because Tinglanyuan has a gate control, he cannot get in, so Jian Yan has to go and pick him up in person.
Jian Yan was not available, so the task was given to Lu Jinci and the others.
Ten minutes later, the three men came back with the boss and the seafood.
Jian Yan checked the seafood and made sure they were all fresh and had not been replaced. Then he readily paid the balance and returned to the kitchen to make pork jerky.
Place the marinated pork paste on an iron plate, wrap it with plastic wrap, roll it out thinly and flatly with a rolling pin, then place it on the stove and bake it slowly over low heat to dry out the moisture contained in it.
During the baking process, the rich aroma of meat emanated. Jian Yan took out a jar of honey and handed it to Yun Ran, asking her to brush the meat jerky with honey.
This job doesn't require any technical skills, it just requires patience and paying attention to the time to turn the meat jerky over. Yun Ran is very patient and does a good job.
There were too many things to do, and Jian Yan really couldn't handle it all by herself, so in the end, she was only responsible for the most important steps of each dish, and the rest of the low-tech tasks such as baking, flipping, etc. were all handed over to Lu Jinci and the others.
These foods are basically ready-to-eat and can be eaten when they are almost done. At most, the taste may be a little different.
But for the few people who were drooling over the various aromas, the merits outweighed the flaws.
It doesn't affect them at all from eating while they are working.
They enjoyed the meal, but it was a hard time for the neighbors around Jian Yan's house. It felt like the air in the entire Lan Tingyuan was dominated by these various faint aromas.
The fragrance tempted a group of retired ladies and gentlemen to come over.
"Senior, is the meat jerky ready?"
Yun Ran's cheerful voice came from behind him. Jian Yan put down the big iron spoon for tomato sauce, walked over to take a look, and broke off another piece to feed it into his mouth.
She didn't know what breed the Empire's pigs were, but they were more delicious and fragrant than the pork she had eaten when she was a child, which was fed with grain and eaten with pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
It is delicious enough to be used for stir-frying. The dried pork jerky has an attractive aroma. It has a rich sauce flavor and a hint of honey sweetness.
Because the meat filling is chopped purely by hand, it is extremely chewy after being pressed flat and tastes great!
