Braised pork belly is a complex dish that requires a lot of time to prepare.
Yu Hui planned to make braised pork first, and then cook the scrambled eggs with tomatoes while the pork was simmering over low heat. This way, the timing would be just right.
Let's get right to it.
Yu Hui heated the large pot until it was red-hot, then seared the pork belly he had bought the night before, skin side up, in the pot.
The selection of pork belly is also quite particular; it must be pork belly from local pigs, with five layers of fat and no more than a finger's width of fat.
He was worried that Pan Tiezhu wouldn't know how to choose meat, so he didn't let him do the shopping. The ingredients used today were bought by him at the supermarket last night.
After searing the meat, it's time to start cutting it.
It's only satisfying to eat big chunks of pork belly.
"Knock knock knock—"
Yu Hui picked up the cleaver and began slicing the pork belly in an orderly fashion.
The knife skills are superb; every cut is very neat.
After preparing the ingredients, Pan Tiezhu had some free time and could now watch Yu Hui cook.
Pan Tiezhu walked up to Yu Hui, intending to learn the recipe from him so he could cook it for his family when he got home.
Even if you only learn a little bit of Yu Hui's cooking skills, it's enough to cook everyday dishes.
He took a closer look and saw that the pork belly that Yu Hui had cut was of uniform size, and it was difficult to see the difference with the naked eye.
This is enough to demonstrate that Yu Hui's knife skills were superb and divine.
Pan Tiezhu gasped, inwardly sighing.
That's amazing!
You need to know.
Chopping vegetables is a skill that requires considerable expertise and demands exceptional knife skills from the chef.
It takes three to five years of experience for a chef to reach Yu Hui's level.
Even master chefs make mistakes sometimes, and it's difficult to guarantee that every piece of pork belly is the same size.
If Pan Tiezhu hadn't grown up with Yu Hui since childhood, he would have really thought that Yu Hui used to be a cook!
......
After a busy morning, Yu Hui finally finished making scrambled eggs with tomatoes and pork belly.
To save time, he directly used a large wok to stir-fry, which greatly frightened Pan Tiezhu.
You need to know.
There is a significant difference between a small stove and a large pot.
Large pots require large quantities, time is limited, and the preparation is difficult. The amount of seasoning, the control of heat, and the cooking process must be strictly controlled, making it impossible to be as flexible as cooking on a small stove.
Making something delicious in a large pot is significantly more difficult than cooking it in a small stove.
"It's finished. Would you like to try some?" Yu Hui said.
"good!"
Pan Tiezhu was almost dizzy from the aroma; he couldn't wait to try it.
He liked to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes and was curious about how Yu Hui's scrambled eggs with tomatoes would turn out, so he took the first bite of an egg.
The eggs are smooth and tender, with absolutely no fishy smell, and a refreshing sweet and sour tomato aroma that leaves you wanting more!
It's so delicious!
(⊙o⊙)…
"Wow, Brother Yu Hui, are you a devil? How can you cook such delicious food?" Pan Tiezhu exclaimed.
This tomato and egg stir-fry is so good that even a five-star chef might not be able to make it to this level, let alone him.
"If you like it, eat more scrambled eggs with tomatoes and less pork belly, that way you won't gain weight," Yu Hui smiled.
Pan Tiezhu also burst into laughter.
"Brother Yu Hui, please stop joking around. I know I've gained a lot of weight, and I've decided to lose weight!"
"As long as I can eat your cooking every day, I'll be content and I'll never be greedy!"
Yu Hui nodded, filled a takeout box with a fistful of rice, and added two pieces of pork belly, some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and skinless chicken.
"This is your lunch. I have a task for you to complete after you finish eating."
"What mission?" Pan Tiezhu asked.
"I'll write you a note later. Go and buy the goods, and then come help out at the stall."
There was a pause.
Yu Hui then asked, "By the way, do you have a driver's license?"
Pan Tiezhu turned eighteen last December.
If I had started learning earlier, I should have finished the exam by now.
"The exam is over." Pan Tiezhu nodded. He needed to do something sooner rather than later, otherwise his parents would scold him to death.
For the first few months after he started staying home, he used learning to drive as an excuse. His family knew he had something to do, so they didn't say much to him.
Ever since he got his driver's license, his family has been urging him to go to work, and their tone was somewhat impatient.
Young people need to find something to do, otherwise they'll be nagged to death by their parents and gossiped about by the neighbors.
Now things are much better; I have a job that's close to home and includes meals and accommodation.
Most importantly, his monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, which is much higher than the salary of the job Pan Tiezhu had previously found.
last night.
When he told his third uncle and Aunt Wang about it, the young couple were overjoyed.
"It's good that you've finished the exam. Here, take this." Yu Hui handed him the keys to the van. "There are so many ingredients, and you don't have any tools. Moving them by hand is too tiring. With this van, things will be much easier for you."
"good!"
Pan Tiezhu nodded and took the keys. He had been wondering how to move the goods later, but now the problem was solved.
Yu Hui put the lunchbox into a styrofoam box, then looked at Pan Tiezhu and instructed him:
"Drive carefully, don't go down the mountain."
"If I find out you've gone down the mountain, I'll never forgive you!"
There are many households on the top of Chuanshan Town. They generally make a living by farming, raising livestock, and selling souvenirs at stalls.
The profit margin for selling vegetables is already low, and the additional cost of hiking down the mountain for four or five hours is simply too high for them.
Some elderly people, whose health couldn't keep up, insisted on going down the mountain, which worried many of their younger relatives.
