Chapter 101: Fragrant and Dangerous Wenzhou Sesame Oil Duck [Edited]
After removing the dirt, the fresh and clean duck is ready.
Next comes the first step of production.
Simple and clear blanching.
The meat of miscellaneous poultry will have a more or less fishy smell.
Therefore, blanching is essential.
Put the meat in cold water, add scallions, ginger, and a little cooking wine to better remove the fishy smell.
As the water temperature gradually heated up, a layer of foam gradually appeared on the water surface. Those were the dirt and blood foam that were invisible to the naked eye.
After boiling for a few minutes.
Jiang Rou turned the duck over in the iron pot.
The gurgling water continues to tumble for two minutes to ensure that the entire duck is evenly heated.
During this time, the duck will also become slightly cooked.
After blanching, take out the hot duck and rinse it under running cool water.
Rinse away the foam and blood on the duck's surface.
Not only does the duck meat become cleaner, but the stimulation of the cool water temperature also makes the meat firmer and tastes better.
None of these tedious steps can be skipped.
Right after.
Jiang Rou took out a lot of ingredients. [Photo]
Ginger slices: You can cut them into larger pieces because they will be placed in the brine for a long time. If they are too thin, they will easily rot and affect the taste of the sauce.
Scallions: snow-white scallion segments and emerald green leaves, all grown in whole stalks.
There is also a halogen bag.
For the sake of convenience, Jiang Rou bought a pre-mixed brine package directly from Taoduoduo Mall this time.
The broth contains a variety of spices, such as fennel, cinnamon, star anise, pepper...
There’s even a little bit of Chinese medicinal herbs to enhance the flavor.
In addition to these ingredients.
The next destination is sesame oil.
Sesame oil duck, as the name suggests, requires a lot of sesame oil.
…
Small kitchen, in front of the stove.
While Jiang Rou was busy, Zhou Xiaochuan had already sat down in front of the stove consciously, acting as his husband conscientiously.
Zhou Xiaohua was still holding her own little stool as before.
Standing on tiptoe and tilting the neck.
A pair of eyes rolled around, looking into the iron pot.
Before I even smelled the food, I couldn't help licking my lips and swallowing my saliva.
Such a conditioned reflex.
It is the best proof of Jiang Rou’s cooking skills!
But today.
Jiang Rou's next move was not suitable for onlookers.
"Xiaohua, you have to hide and watch today."
Jiang Rou walked over, put her arm under Zhou Xiaohua's armpits, and picked up the little girl.
She carried Zhou Xiaohua out of the kitchen, gently touched her head and gave her instructions.
"Xiaohua, be good. You can only hide here and watch. You can't go into the kitchen."
Zhou Xiaohua has always been the most obedient and sensible.
Although her big eyes were full of doubts, she still did as Jiang Rou said.
Most of the small body was hidden behind the door, revealing a pair of big black eyes, looking inside.
Jiang Rou not only asked Zhou Xiaohua to be on high alert.
Even she herself went to the closet and found a piece of Zhou Chongshan's old clothes.
Zhou Chongshan's old clothes were usually so worn out that they were useless even if they were cut up and used as rags. They could only be used as mops.
But the man's coat was wide and could cover Jiang Rou loosely.
Jiang Rou put her old coat on inside out and pulled it up to cover her face.
The two holes on the shoulders of the clothes caused by wear and tear just happened to become eyes.
Jiang Rou tried it and could see clearly.
She returned to the kitchen in this strange outfit.
He also took the opportunity to remind Zhou Xiaochuan.
"No matter what sound you hear from now on, don't stick your head out to look. Just sit still."
Jiang Rou's attitude towards Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua is somewhat different.
She gradually revealed her strong side as an elder to Zhou Xiaochuan.
Because if you don't do this, how can you suppress the restless little wolf cub?
After clearing out the irrelevant personnel from the scene and preparing the "protection", Jiang Rou could finally continue making sesame oil duck.
Under this situation.
Those who knew Jiang Rou thought she was cooking delicious food, while those who didn’t thought she was developing some new weapon.
The iron pot is hot and has started to smoke.
Jiang Rou first introduced edible rapeseed oil, about the amount of a small bowl.
then.
She opened the sesame oil she bought from Taoduoduo Mall.
It's in a glass bottle, with the original rubber stopper, and it's full. [Photo]
After removing the packaging sticker, the simple style of the 1970s is revealed, and it doesn't look like something from the future at all.
Gurgle gurgle.
Jiang Rou also poured sesame oil into the iron pot.
The ratio of sesame oil and rapeseed oil is almost one to one, both in a small bowl.
After a while.
The oil temperature rises, and when you put a chopstick in, you will see dense small bubbles appear.
That’s about it.
Jiang Rou took a deep breath.
She put on a cloth glove on her left hand and held a long-handled spoon in her right hand.
Then he pinched the duck's neck with his left hand and lifted up the duck, which had been blanched and dried a little.
Reach the spoon in your right hand into the oil pan and scoop up the mixed rapeseed oil and sesame oil with the spoon.
then.
Pour lightly over the duck.
Jiang Rou tried to slow down her movements, but when the hot oil touched the duck's surface——
Crackling sound!
a moment.
The boiling hot oil kept splashing everywhere in the kitchen.
Because the duck had just been blanched and rinsed with cold water, no matter how dry it was, there would still be a layer of moisture on the surface of the duck.
It is easy to imagine what will happen when moisture and hot oil come into contact.
It's pretty much like dropping a drop of water into a pan of hot oil.
It is also like throwing a stone into the stream.
Of course, there were countless splashes of water.
Crackling, crackling.
Tiny particles of hot oil, at high temperatures, kept flying everywhere.
If it falls on the skin, a small blister will immediately appear.
Quite dangerous.
That's why Jiang Rou is so serious.
The chaotic scene and the sudden explosion frightened Zhou Xiaohua so much that her shoulders trembled and she shrank her neck in fear.
Fortunately, she was standing far away.
If I had stood by the stove like before, I would have been splashed with the hot oil.
Zhou Xiaohua listened to the noise and hid behind the door in fear.
But the noise continued.
A few seconds later.
Zhou Xiaohua covered her eyes and walked past them, revealing a pair of eyes. She couldn't help but look into the kitchen with curiosity and some worry.
Zhou Xiaochuan was also shocked.
It's just that the little wolf cub is stubborn and strong-willed and refuses to show it.
He was stunned for a moment.
He was holding a piece of firewood in his hand, his eyes were bright and sharp.
A frown between the eyebrows.
He thought secretly: What should she do? !
Even though Jiang Rou asked Zhou Xiaochuan not to look no matter what sound he heard.
But the moment the young man's eyes darkened.
Grit your teeth.
He poked his head out again.
In front of the stove.
The source of danger.
The crackling and splashing sounds showed no signs of stopping, but instead became more and more intense.
Jiang Rou stood there calmly, holding a spoon, scooping up hot oil again and again and pouring it on the duck...
