Chapter 47 Chinese Classic Food: Roast Duck 1
#啾啾's little hands and what 啾啾 did are in stark contrast. #
"We've already prepared the bird's body. Now let's inflate it. Before infusing the bird, the skin and meat are stuck together. To make the skin crispy and the meat tender during the roasting process, we need to inflate air between the skin and the meat."
Jiang Qiuqiu had previously bought a retro nostalgic air pump on Taotao, which now came in handy.
This step may not be easy for everyone to understand, but that’s okay! Don’t worry if you don’t understand, as long as you can eat it!
"Once there's a slight gap between the skin and the flesh, you can proceed to the next step."
Jiang Qiuqiu prepared a large pot of hot water.
"We're not cooking the bird today. We're roasting it today."
"Here is hot water at about 75 degrees. We pinch the neck of the ingredient and then use an iron spoon to pour the hot water evenly over the bird."
"The purpose of pouring hot water is to shrink the sebum and remove the fishy smell."
The watering was finished, but Jiang Qiuqiu did not proceed to the next step immediately.
Someone in the comment section asked why they hadn't started yet, looking forward to the roasting experience. Jiang Qiuqiu sighed, "When I started the livestream earlier, I forgot that birds need to air dry for a few hours after watering..."
After hearing the previous sentence, everyone felt a little worried. No way, no way, can we not eat today?
But soon, Jiang Qiuqiu said in a very jumpy tone: "What should I do?"
It doesn't look like there's any emergency at all.
#I guess Jiujiu was well prepared! #
#啾啾How could such a thoughtful sister forget such an important thing! #
#啾啾 never lets fans wait in vain! We will definitely get it when we come! #
Well, no one fell for it.
"In order to be able to broadcast live smoothly, I have prepared the bird by air-drying it in advance."
Jiang Qiuqiu casually scooped it up and said, "It looks like this. It's quite dry overall, with the skin and flesh showing a slightly yellowish hue."
"Before baking, we need to brush it with the secret of the puff pastry, the sauce."
Now comes the honey you've all seen before. "It's the key to a crispy crust, but don't add too much, or it'll be too crispy."
"To make the taste richer, we can add appropriate amounts of vinegar and wine to the honey water~"
The duck was evenly brushed with crispy water. The duck was still white and looked unappetizing. Jiang Qiuqiu turned on the dryer to briefly dry the moisture from its skin. She repeated the crispy water brushing action several times and then turned on the oven.
#The steps are so complicated...#
#Is this the birth of delicious food? I feel so honored to be able to witness this scene. #
#The one above, I wouldn't feel honored to have witnessed this scene, but if I could eat it, wow, I might shed tears of emotion! #
#Where to stream from?#
#! ! Driving warning! #
#What car? Can't see the car? #
As everyone's discussion drifted off topic, Jiang Qiuqiu commented on the first person's words, "It's not complicated. Roasting a bird only requires preparation. Once it's in the oven, we can just sit back and wait for the delicious dish to arrive."
"As for the preparation work, I believe everyone can do it well."
Jiang Qiuqiu opened the oven. "Adjust the temperature to 170 degrees. High temperatures and birds will produce a mysterious reaction. Look here." She pointed a white finger at the roast duck on the inside of the glass. "Time and temperature will ripen its skin to an alluring reddish-brown color, and the fresh juices will slowly flow down the rack."
"The oil and water make a sizzling sound, and then the whole kitchen is filled with the unique sweet smell of baked goods and the delicious aroma of meat. It whets your appetite."
