Chapter 181 Braised Pork and Potatoes [Three Updates]
"The braised chicken with potatoes needs to be cooked through. In the meantime, shall we make braised pork and potatoes?" Tu Rongrong said, looking at the remaining four potatoes.
[Goddess, what's the difference between braised pork with potatoes and chicken with potatoes? Aren't they both meat stewed with potatoes?]
What is braised pork? Is it the same as braised pork elbow?
[Braised pork and potatoes, are we going to have a hard time with potatoes today?]
[Actually, I think hot and sour potato shreds are pretty good. How about we use the leftover potatoes to make hot and sour potato shreds?]
What are those spicy and sour potato shreds? I don't think I've ever seen a goddess make them.
[Spicy and Sour Shredded Potatoes is a dish made with shredded potatoes that the goddess asked us to prepare in the cooking class so we could practice our knife skills.]
[Wow, it's great to be able to enter the cooking classroom and see dishes we don't usually see.]
[Okay, then we'll make braised pork and potatoes.]
"The braised pork and potatoes are really delicious." Tu Rongrong said as she took out a large piece of pork belly.
"What's the difference between braised pork with potatoes and chicken with potatoes? Of course it's the taste of the meat that's different. The taste of chicken and pork is very different to begin with."
"Wash the pork belly and cut it into large pieces. It doesn't have to be very big, about three or four centimeters wide and four or five centimeters long will be enough." After Tu Rongrong washed the pork belly, she found a chopping board and a kitchen knife and started cutting.
"After cutting, put it in cold water and add half a cup of cooking wine. Soaking the pork belly in water can absorb the blood in the capillaries. Adding wine to the water makes it easier for the meat fibers to absorb and remove the meaty smell."
"The pork belly cannot be soaked for too long, so just soak it for about 15 minutes." Tu Rongrong soaked the cut pork belly in water.
"Okay, we just have to wait for these 15 minutes. Why do you want me to cook other dishes? I don't want to. I'm a little tired today and don't want to cook too many dishes." Tu Rongrong lazily walked to the hammock in the other corner and sat down.
"Goddess, didn't you say you stayed up late last night, so you're catching up on some sleep today? You should be feeling refreshed after just waking up, so why would you be so tired?"
[Yeah, so we're making a big meal to celebrate the opening of our cooking class?]
[Goddess, please have mercy on us.]
"Don't slander me. I slept until noon and got up. I was busy in the afternoon, so I didn't sleep until now." Tu Rongrong said with an "I am innocent" expression.
[What were you busy with this afternoon, goddess? Why don't you even feel like cooking?]
[Goddess, what on earth did you do this afternoon? Did you go to work at the factory?]
[By the way, goddess, why are you home alone today? Where are Uncle Che and Yuanyuan? ]
[Have you been abandoned, goddess? ]
Uncle Che and Yuanyuan went out to play, and then left you, the goddess, alone at home?
"Yes, it's really too much. Uncle Che and A11 took Yuanyuan out to play and left me alone at home. It's really too much." Tu Rongrong agreed with the fans' words with a righteous look on her face.
"We're going out to play? Didn't you just sleep in and ask us to go out to work?"
Just when Tu Rongrong and her fans were condemning Tu Che for taking A11 and Tu Yuanyuan out to play without her, Tu Che's unique magnetic and gentle voice was heard.
Tu Rongrong and his fans could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone, and it was obvious that he was angry with Tu Rongrong.
[Hahahahaha, Uncle Che caught me saying bad things about the goddess behind her back.]
[Hahahahaha, goddess, do you still dare to speak ill of me behind my back?]
[Goddess, you were saying bad things about Uncle Che behind his back, and Uncle Che caught you, right?]
[Hahahaha, it's really funny to see the goddess with such a confused look on her face.]
[The goddess looks so guilty, it's so cute. ]
[Actually, goddess, you can confidently tell Uncle Che and condemn his behavior of not playing with you.]
[The key point is that Uncle Che didn't go out to play, he went to work, but the goddess, who is a hands-off boss, still talks bad about Uncle Che behind his back.]
[If I were Uncle Che, I would also be furious and want to beat up the goddess.]
Fans faced Tu Rongrong's accident head-on, and Tu Rongrong looked back guiltily at Tu Che standing at the kitchen door with an expressionless face, and smiled very awkwardly.
"Uncle Che, why are you back?" Tu Rongrong asked with a wry smile.
"If I didn't come back, how would I know that you were making up stories about me behind my back?" Tu Che glanced at Tu Rongrong and said expressionlessly.
"Hahahaha... I was just joking with my fans, wasn't I?" Tu Rongrong explained awkwardly.
"Hehe." Tu Che gave her a "hehe" and let her experience it herself.
"I... I'll go see if the rice is ready." Tu Rongrong was so scared by Tu Che's depressed look that she quickly jumped down from the hammock and ran to see if the rice she cooked was ready.
Tu Rongrong saw that the rice was already cooked, but it was not yet fully cooked. She lifted the lid of the pot and put it aside, then checked the potatoes and chicken in the pot to see if the water had dried up.
Tu Che looked at her pretending to be busy and didn't say anything. Instead, he took out the juice he had squeezed earlier from the freezer in the kitchen and shared it with A11. Of course, he also gave a little to Tu Yuanyuan and didn't let her drink too much.
Tu Rongrong secretly turned around to look at Tu Che who was talking to A11 over there, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Che is really too scary, it really is true that we can't make him angry."
What if Uncle Che got angry and went on strike? She couldn't manage the food factory, the breeding base, and the planting base. Even now that Uncle Che and his team had hired new employees, she didn't know how to manage them.
So we still have to coax Uncle Che well, don’t make him angry, and don’t let him go on strike.
Tu Rongrong saw that the water in the chicken and potatoes had not been stewed dry yet. She looked at the time and found that the pork belly was almost soaked. Tu Rongrong took out the pork belly, rinsed it, and drained the water.
Put oil in the pot, add rock sugar and boil it until it melts, then put the pork belly in and stir-fry. Continue stir-frying until the pork belly is coated with syrup, probably to stir-fry out the fat in the pork belly.
Then Tu Rongrong found a pressure cooker, poured the fried pork belly into the pressure cooker, poured out all the oil and syrup, added broth, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices, covered the lid and stewed it.
The pressure cooker can shorten the time, so Tu Rongrong used a pressure cooker. After all, everyone is hungry now and doesn’t have time to wait for more than an hour before eating.
The pressure cooker cooks things very quickly, so I didn't care about it. The chicken and potatoes over there are ready. The potatoes are already cooked and the soup is almost dry. It's ready to be served.
The rice is cooked. Tu Rongrong pours out the rice soup, then pours boiled water into the rice and stirs it to cool it down.
