Chapter 119: Making Braised Pork
Song Shiwei asked him for paper and pen, and wrote down in detail the method of cooking one fish in five ways.
Then another agreement was written.
If she gave him the recipe, the restaurant would give her one hundred yuan and buy the seafood from Qilian Island.
When Zhou Lianhai saw the prescription she wrote, his eyes lit up.
He couldn't care about anything else and kept nodding: "Okay, okay, no problem!! I'll sign, I'll sign!"
Even Sun Quan came out from the kitchen, picked up the recipe and looked at it carefully, nodding as he read.
"Don't worry, we will definitely buy your seafood! With your method, we can add a few dishes to the restaurant!"
Zhou Lianhai had even imagined the scene where the door would be trampled down after these dishes were served.
But the mood is completely different, because now their state-owned restaurant can make the long-rumored one fish, five dishes!
He rubbed his hands and looked at Song Shiwei: "I wonder if Comrade Song, have you caught any more monkfish on your island?"
Song Shi smiled, pointed at the recipe and said: "Actually, this can also be counted as five dishes, each of which can be cooked separately! And you don't have to use monkfish. Look at this spicy monkfish bone dish, you can use grass carp or carp to make it. You can use one fish in three ways: fish bones, fish meat, and fish belly!"
Zhou Lianhai immediately understood.
"Okay, okay! This is a great relationship!"
You won’t have to worry about not being able to do it in the future!
He was happy today, and maybe he wanted to do Song Shiwei a favor.
Why not call in a few kitchen helpers and have them take the pig offal that Song Shiwei brought over to the kitchen to clean it up?
Originally, Song Shiwei didn't want to trouble them, but when he thought about how the unprocessed pig offal would really stink, and that Xiao Zhang would have to carry it on the boat later, it would be better to process it!
Maybe it was really because there was strength in numbers, and it was cleaned up in just over ten minutes. Song Shiwei took a look and found that the large intestine had been washed clean, turned over and rinsed many times.
Even the original fishy smell is almost gone.
It was getting late, so after thanking Zhou Lianhai, she and Xiao Zhang hurried back.
When they arrived at the family compound, as expected, the children had already finished school and Zhou Tingyue had also returned from the team.
Seeing Xiao Zhang helping her carry such a big basket, he hurriedly took it over.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Xiao Zhang smiled and waved his hands: "It's not hard, it's much easier than training!"
Zhou Tingyue smiled and invited him into the house.
Xiao Zhang was a little embarrassed. Song Shiwei rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen. He turned around and said to him, "Didn't sister-in-law say that we should eat here tonight? I'll cook it right now and it will be ready in a while!"
Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, Xinxin and Zhou Wei all gathered around the basket to look at it curiously.
"Hey, Mom, what did you buy?"
Zhou Lin picked up a piece of white intestines and widened his eyes: "Why do they look so much like pig intestines to me?"
Zhou Cheng smiled and nodded: "You read it right, it should be pig intestines, pig hearts, pig lungs, pig livers, etc!"
When Xinxin heard that it was these things, she immediately stepped back in fear.
He was almost tripped by Zhou Wei behind him.
Song Shiwei happened to see it, and she smiled and rubbed her little head: "Don't be afraid, it just looks scary. When mommy is done, I promise you will smell so good!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
The children were immediately very happy.
Especially Zhou Wei, he clapped his hands happily: "Yeah! That's great!! We have meat to eat today!!"
Zhou Tingyue asked Xiao Zhang to play with the other children, and he came in to help Song Shiwei.
"How was your day? Are you tired?"
Song Shi smiled and shook his head: "Not tired, and my sister-in-law is very nice to me! You asked Xiao Zhang to follow me, and he helped me carry these pig offal back, and didn't let me touch them at all. You have to thank Xiao Zhang!"
Zhou Tingyue nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Song Shiwei asked Zhou Tingyue to light the fire, and she directly used the earthen pot to stew.
Before stewing, she needs to boil all the pork offal in water, and add onions, ginger and white wine to remove the fishy smell.
During the cooking process, the blood foam should be skimmed off. If the blood foam is not skimmed off, the cooked meat will taste fishy!
It can also cook out the dirt in the meat.
Then remove from water and drain.
She heated the oil in the pan again, and when it was about 40% to 50% hot, she added the sugar. The heat should not be too high at this time, as the sugar would easily burn.
The stewed meat will taste bitter.
After the sugar color was fried, she quickly put the drained pork offal into the pot and stir-fried it to color it. Fortunately, the pot was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to hold so much pork offal.
Then quickly add onion, ginger, dried chili peppers, peppercorns, cinnamon, bay leaves, grass fruit, angelica, nutmeg and other spices and stir-fry quickly until fragrant.
At this time, add hot water, which must cover the meat, then add soy sauce and salt, cover it and let it stew!
When the fire was boiling, Song Shiwei told Zhou Tingyue not to add more firewood and just simmer it slowly over medium-low heat.
Stew it for more than half an hour, about forty minutes, and it’s ready to eat!
Of course, if you want it to taste better, you should let it soak in it overnight. It will definitely taste better tomorrow!
Anyway, the weather is cold now, and there’s more salt in the food, so it won’t go bad overnight.
The pot here is bubbling with steam, but the little ones in the living room have already been wiping their saliva.
“It smells so good!”
"Yes, it smells so good! I didn't expect that the pig offal would smell so good after being stewed by my mother like this!"
Xinxin pursed the unknown liquid that was about to flow out of the corners of her lips and blinked: "Sure enough, brother, you are right, even mom's stewed shoe soles are delicious!"
Zhou Wei turned his head to look at her: "When did mom stew the soles of shoes?"
Xinxin smacked her lips and said, "She can even stew such scary offal until it smells as good as meat, so what can't mom cook?"
Xiao Zhang wanted to laugh when he heard this.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that nothing my sister-in-law cooks is bad.
Although he had never eaten his sister-in-law's cooking, he had heard of it!
Last time I made barbecue for my bosses at my doorstep, he was so greedy that his mouth was watering!
It’s a pity that he never had the chance to taste it. He didn’t expect that he would finally be able to taste it today. From now on, he will have the ability to brag about it to others.
As time passed, the aroma became stronger and stronger, drifting far away through the window, and almost the entire family compound could smell the aroma of meat.
Sun Meimei from next door smiled and said to Lao Zheng: "There must be something wrong. Weiwei is stewing meat!"
Old Zheng nodded in agreement: "In the entire family compound, there is no one else who can cook as deliciously as her!"
Sun Meimei pinched him deliberately: "Why, do you dislike the food I cooked?"
Lao Zheng quickly shook his head: "No, no, absolutely not, my wife's cooking is also delicious!"
"Um?"
"Oh no, my wife's cooking is the best in the world. I love the food you cook!"
"That's more like it!"
This made Shitou and his sister laugh so hard at the dinner table that they couldn't straighten their backs.
On the other side of the family compound, Zhou Xiaomei's family was not so harmonious.
