Twice-cooked pork is simple and classic.
Main ingredients: pork belly, garlic sprouts, minced garlic and chili peppers.
People of this era prefer fatty meat, the fatter the better; but she prefers three-layered pork belly, which is the taste of later generations.
A particularly important point.
To make twice-cooked pork, you must blanch the pork belly first. Put the pork belly into a pot with cold water and add onions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell.
Slice the blanched pork belly, add oil to another pan, put in the pork belly and start stir-frying.
People at that time liked fat meat, so they spent less time stir-frying it. However, Song Beibei liked to eat pork belly that was stir-fried with fat, so he specially stir-fried the pork belly until both sides were golden brown.
It’s a different story for No. 15. What she wants to eat today must be according to her own taste.
When stir-frying is almost done, add a spoonful of bean paste, then pour in the side dishes, stir-fry until cooked, and finally add appropriate amount of salt.
A dish to go with rice is ready.
Next, make the xianshaobai, which is also a big dish. It is not usually made, but only cooked during festivals.
Blanch the pork belly in cold water, skimming off the foam. Remove from the water and keep the cooking water. Apply braised soy sauce on the surface of the meat, fry in 30% hot oil until the skin becomes hard, then put the meat back into the cooking water and soak for 3 minutes.
This step is to soak the pork skin into a tiger skin shape.
During this time, I was not idle. I took out the soaked pickled mustard greens, cut them into granules, put oil in a cold pan and stir-fry them until fragrant, then put them on a plate and set aside.
Slice the soaked pork belly, add braised soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, a small amount of vinegar, pepper, chili oil and other seasonings, mix well, place the pork skin down, then sprinkle a layer of garlic and ginger, put the pickled mustard greens on top, and steam in an iron pan for 35 minutes.
The savory white sauce is done.
Just wait for the delicious taste to develop.
There were only two vegetarian dishes left, and it didn’t matter whether I cooked them or not, but I thought that a little vegetarian food would be nice, so I cooked them anyway.
Stir-fried tomatoes and peppers.
This is a famous Hunan dish.
Chop the tomatoes, add oil to a cold pan, pour in the tomatoes and stir-fry until the sand comes out. Then add the chopped chili peppers, ginger, garlic and salt to season.
A perfect dish to go with rice.
Finally, steamed eggplant.
It’s very simple. Wash the eggplant, cut it into sections, put it in a pot and steam it until cooked. Then put it in the same pot with the salty Shaobai.
She cooked this meal.
Zhong Tingyue and Xie Ci were also helping out, but they couldn't do much. They just washed things, poured water, peeled garlic, things that anyone could do with their hands.
Zhong Tingyue sniffed the fragrance that filled the room, swallowing her saliva countless times as she eagerly asked, "Beibei, are you ready?"
"almost."
Song Beibei checked the time and said, "Wait another 30 minutes, the savory and spicy pork will be ready and we can eat. It's dinner time."
Before I knew it, it was already 5 o'clock.
Her guess was correct. It would take the whole afternoon, so she had to get up early on the 15th to cook.
wrong.
Compared to today, the quantity is several times larger, so she needs someone to help her process the ingredients.
Hearing this, Zhong Tingyue's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Song Beibei thought for a moment and said, "On the 15th, I'll need one or two helpers, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to win."
Zhong Tingyue agreed: "That's right."
"But who should I look for?"
Before Song Beibei could speak, Xie Ci interrupted, "We can't finish all the dishes. Please invite the rest of the Youth League to come and eat together."
As soon as these words came out.
Zhong Tingyue clapped her hands immediately and said, "I've got it, Beibei. Don't we have people ready-made in our Youth League?"
"It's a good opportunity to tell them when I invite them to dinner today. They will definitely agree."
Eat people's mouths and be soft~
The more she talked, the more excited she became. She said directly, "It should be almost time to finish work now. Let's each go and call a few people."
"Beibei, you are responsible..."
at last.
Song Beibei was responsible for calling Fu Yanci, Xu Jinan and Tan Jin.
She and Xie Ci were responsible for calling Chen Zhiyi and his wife, Li Chunxia, Shi Yan, Fang Juexia and Yu Guiwan.
To this.
Song Beibei had no objection.
However, I was secretly complaining in my heart: Why are these three big guys, especially Fu Yanci and Tan Jin, so arrogant? Did they deliberately let me go?
There is no answer.
After discussing it, the three of them went out together.
Song Beibei was also lucky, as she happened to meet Fu Yanci, Tan Jin and Xu Jinan returning home.
She said, "Wait a moment."
The three of them turned around and looked at her at the same time.
Xu Jinan asked gently, "Beibei, is there something wrong?"
Fu Yanci and Tan Jin didn't say anything, just looked at her silently and waited for her to speak.
Song Beibei went straight to the point.
"I'm helping Zhong Tingyue taste food today, so I'd like to invite you all to have dinner together."
I see.
Xu Jinan's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Beibei’s craftsmanship is something you don’t want to miss.
Tan Jin and Fu Yanci also agreed.
Song Beibei's expression relaxed.
"Then let's go."
"good."
"Um."
“…”
The door is not locked.
Four people just arrived, and more people arrived one after another.
Li Chunxia was the first one to come in. As soon as she came in, she took a deep breath and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: "It smells so good~"
"Beibei, what dishes did you cook?"
The others also looked over curiously. She didn't hide it and started to list the dishes: "Twice-cooked pork, salty braised pork belly, stir-fried eel..."
Li Chunxia's eyes became brighter as she listened, and her mouth was about to drool.
Fang Juexia and Yu Guiwan came in together. She smiled and said, "Wow, there are so many delicious dishes. I'm in for a treat."
Yu Guiwan agreed.
