Chapter 162
After the rice is cooked, the two of them will start cooking.
There are four stoves in the kitchen, which is enough for use.
Lin Nanzhi made a dish of braised pork and potatoes.
The staff bought the pork belly from the vegetable market, with both the skin and the meat. Lin Nanzhi put the pork belly in the iron pan after it was heated until it was red hot, and then put the pork belly with the skin in to fry. When it was almost cooked, he washed it clean, cut it into pieces of the same size, and blanched it in hot water. He then washed it clean, dried it, and put it in the oil pan to stir-fry to fry out all the fat inside. The pork belly was fat but not greasy and was especially delicious.
Pour the oil into a bowl and store it. It will solidify overnight and is especially delicious when used to cook noodles or rice noodles.
Put water in the pot, add rock sugar and stir-fry. After it turns caramel color, pour the pork belly in and stir-fry. Then add dark soy sauce and light soy sauce and stir-fry together. Then add water to cover the pork belly, throw in some simple ingredients wrapped in brine, then add green onions, cover with lid and simmer over medium heat.
Gu Yu looked at Wen Jiunian, who was making braised chicken.
Chop the chicken into small pieces and soak it in cold water. Boil a pot of water and blanch the chicken in it when the water boils. Then take it out and drain the water. Put it in a plate and marinate it with cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic. Set it aside for later use.
Take a small bowl and put in scallions, ginger and garlic. Since Gu Yu doesn't eat scallions, only ginger and garlic were put in. Then add a little cooking wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and vinegar, and then add some pepper oil or pepper powder. Add a drop of cooking oil, cooking salt and MSG seasoning and set aside.
Heat oil in a wok, add ginger slices, dried chili peppers and bean paste when the oil boils, stir-fry evenly, pour in the chicken when it is fragrant, stir-fry for three or four minutes, then pour in the sauce and continue to stir-fry for one or two minutes, add water to cover the chicken, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat.
Half of the chicken was used for the braised chicken, and the rest was given to Lin Nanzhi to make white-braised chicken. He took the tenderloin and prepared to process it to make boiled pork slices later.
Among the four must-eat dishes, there must naturally be some vegetarian dishes.
Make lettuce with oyster sauce, spicy and sour cabbage, a chicken egg custard, and finally a soup, and save some meat for tomorrow.
"This is actually a food show, right?"
"People who can cook will get extra points, especially men who can cook!"
"I can't cook either. I want to find a man who can cook like Wen Jiunian. I don't know if I can find one!"
"Gu Yu's expression is very similar to the way I look at my mother cooking."
"Ahahahaha, I'm stunned."
"Gu Yu: How did they do it so quickly and so easily?"
"No, it should be this step... Hmm? Why the next step?"
"Hahahaha, it's true!"
After Lin Nanzhi confirmed the dishes that Wen Jiunian was going to make, he took a look at the ingredients, which included potatoes, some vegetables, the pork belly that he had not used up just now, as well as chicken breast and ribs.
Thinking that this would definitely not be enough for ten people, I planned to make spicy and sour potato shreds, sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, and a mushroom soup.
The boiled chicken is quite easy to make, but the sweet and sour spareribs take longer to make, so she rinsed the boiled chicken first, then blanched the sweet and sour spareribs, and then took them out to drain the water.
Remove the blanched ribs and set aside
Take it out and put it in warm water, pick out the green onion and ginger, wash them dry and drain them for later use.
Heat a large amount of oil over medium heat. When the oil is about 60% hot, put the ribs in the pan and fry for about 30 seconds, until the surface of the ribs turns slightly yellow. Remove from the oil and set aside.
Put a little oil in the pot, add a spoonful of water, put in the prepared rock sugar, turn on medium heat to melt the rock sugar, turn on medium heat to turn yellow, turn to low heat and add the ribs to stir-fry, so that the ribs are evenly coated with sugar color. Then pour in the prepared ginger slices, scallions, cinnamon, and bay leaves, continue to stir-fry until fragrant, then add half a spoonful of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, half a spoonful of light soy sauce to enhance the flavor, a little balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavor, add appropriate amount of water to submerge the ribs, add a scallion, a little dark soy sauce to color, bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat for half an hour.
Only then is the poached chicken taken out, cut, placed on a plate, and seasoned.
During this time, you can dice the chicken breast, add pepper, oil, cooking wine, light soy sauce, flour and water, stir, and set aside to marinate.
Then peel the potatoes, wash them, cut them into shreds, soak them in water to remove the starch, and place them in clean water for later use. Prepare the ingredients needed for the soup and wait until the braised pork is ready before starting.
The waiting time was a bit long, and I glanced at Wen Jiunian idly: "Are you ready there?"
"That's about it. I'll just cook the dishes later."
"Then don't use this fire. I'm going to make some soup."
"Okay, do you need help?"
“No need.” Lin Nanzhi waved his hands and started to work.
The ingredients used for mushroom soup are king oyster mushroom, oyster mushroom and white jade mushroom. Soak them in salt water in advance, then drain them out. Add a small amount of oil to the pot, put in ginger slices, put in the reserved mushrooms, then pour a spoonful of cooking wine and stir-fry. After all the moisture in the mushrooms is fried out, pour the mushrooms into the casserole, add water, boil over medium heat, then simmer over low heat.
"It's so abundant!" Meng Wanqing came in and took a look, and couldn't help but say something.
"It's just today. These dishes are leftovers from yesterday. They are prepared according to our hometown, so they are naturally abundant. I don't think they will be available tomorrow." Lin Nanzhi suddenly said this.
"Ah? Is that so?" Meng Wanqing felt a little regretful and a little at a loss.
Their cooking skills are limited in the first place, and if they skimp on ingredients, who knows what kind of mess they will make.
Director: “…”
Who the hell gave the script to Lin Nanzhi?
"How do you know?" The director was so shocked that he asked. After he said it, he found that everyone's eyes were on him with resentful eyes. He suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
The words had already been asked and there was no way to take them back. He could only pretend he didn't hear it and stare at Lin Nanzhi as he answered.
Lin Nanzhi clasped his hands around his chest and shook his head as he looked at the ingredients on the table.
“I’ve never seen anyone buy mushrooms for a show.”
Director: “…”
What's wrong with buying mushrooms?
Is it okay that I like eating mushrooms?
"Besides the chicken breast and tenderloin, the rest of the meat is not very fresh. It looks like it has been left overnight."
The director was completely speechless.
"Ah, then won't our life tomorrow be even more difficult?" Meng Wanqing sighed.
Lin Nanzhi shrugged.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Maybe tomorrow the directors will provide food ingredients, or like today, they will need to play games to get food ingredients, then they won’t go hungry if they work hard.
Gu Yuhe and the other two asked for cooking tips. Meng Wanqing felt that she was also on the same team, so she did not go back to the living room to chat. Instead, she listened with great interest in the kitchen and even took out her mobile phone memo to write down the information carefully.
"What should I do if I like her more and more the more I look at her?"
"This woman is like the heroine in a novel. She used to do all kinds of stupid things, but now she is possessed by the heroine and is doing all kinds of dirty tricks to whitewash herself."
"I don't care, I just like her."
"I quickly took out my little notebook and wrote it down."
"After listening to your words, I feel I can do it again. Let's try again!"
