During the holiday, Wen Yanqing was a bit unrestrained in eating. Look, bubbles appeared in his mouth after the barbecue.
Jiang Yu had not allowed him to eat oily and heavy-flavored food these past two days. Now, as soon as he smelled the aroma of oil, Wen Yanqing couldn't stop swallowing his saliva.
After the splattering oil subsided, Jiang Yu scooped out the noodles with long chopsticks. The noodles, kneaded with egg, had a rich, mellow aroma after being fried. The heat was perfectly controlled, and the noodles came out golden, each strand distinct, and crispy and delicious.
Wen Yanqing had eaten Sanzi before and thought that this was what Jiang Yu made. Although he didn't know why it was made into separate pieces, he still praised her and said, "Wife, you are great. This Sanzi is fried so deliciously." After saying that, he secretly walked around to Jiang Yu and wanted to steal one to eat.
Jiang Yu turned around, and he immediately retracted his hand, still feeling frightened.
"It's not Sanzi, it's instant noodles."
"Instant noodles?" Wen Yanqing was even more puzzled. "But the ones you buy outside are different from this?"
"Of course. They use molds, but we make our own. It's definitely different, but it's cleaner and more hygienic, and the sauces are richer."
After saying that, Jiang Yu began to prepare the seasoning for the instant noodles. Because time was tight and there was no time to dry the vegetables, the fresh taste of the soup base could not rely on dried vegetables, but had to be provided by the seasoning packets.
She turned her back, and Wen Yanqing began to get restless again.
Just as he was about to start cooking, Jiang Yu turned around again to get the sauce and saw Wen Yanqing standing beside him. He said, "It's not convenient for me to operate with you standing here."
Wen Yanqing could only take a step back silently, looking at the golden and crispy noodles with a greedy look.
It smells so good! The instant noodles sold outside don’t smell this good. Is it because of the egg in it?
The more he looked at it, the more greedy he became. He pitifully asked Jiang Yu, "Wife, can I have instant noodles with a fried egg tonight?"
Jiang Yu thought about it and agreed. Cooked instant noodles are less irritating, and instant noodles come with both spicy and non-spicy sauces. He could just cook him a less spicy one when the time comes, so that everyone can try it and see if it tastes good.
Just when Wen Yanqing was thinking about how to secretly eat some instant noodles, a little kid ran in from outside the door, jumping and shouting, "Uncle! Auntie!"
Seeing that Jiang Yu's attention was attracted by the little guy, Wen Yanqing quickly reached out and stuffed the instant noodles into his mouth. This scene was caught by Wen Zizhao who rushed in like a calf.
Wen Zizhao's big eyes, like black grapes, rolled around a few times. Looking at Wen Yanqing, his originally depressed mood because of his impending departure instantly dissipated, and he laughed: "Uncle~"
Wen Yanqing was extremely embarrassed and his ears turned red. He waved his hand and Wen Zizhao and Wen Ziyao came over.
Jiang Yu was facing away from them and couldn't see their little movements.
Wen Yanqing whispered, "Your aunt doesn't let me eat anything that makes me angry."
Wen Zizhao nodded to show his understanding.
Wen Ziyao looked at him quietly, as if saying: Is this the reason why you cheated?
Wen Yanqing felt even more embarrassed.
He was caught eating secretly just now, and Wen Zizhao followed suit, also standing on tiptoe to eat instant noodles.
He was much bolder than Wen Yanqing. He chewed one stick after another with a "crunching" sound, showing no sign of stopping.
Wen Ziyao looked at Wen Zizhao, then at Wen Yanqing, then he also came over and stood on tiptoe to grab a bowl of instant noodles to eat.
Wen Yanqing was tempted by the way they ate, so he started eating too.
When the instant noodles were almost half gone, Jiang Yu turned around and saw the two children stealing the food. The older one had just stopped eating and was not caught.
"Wen Yanqing!" Jiang Yu frowned and said, "Children are ignorant, aren't you ignorant too?"
She came over and asked the twins, "Have you washed your hands? Why are you eating without asking? What if you can't eat it?"
Wen Zizhao looked up at Wen Yanqing, as if he was going to give him up.
Seeing this, Wen Yanqing quickly explained: "They asked me."
Jiang Yu stared at Wen Yanqing when he heard this. He felt guilty for a moment and his face turned red. Just as he was about to admit his mistake, he heard Jiang Yu mutter, "How are you going to teach your children in the future if you behave like this?"
These words hit Wen Yanqing, his face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and said, "Wife, I was wrong. I will definitely correct it and be a good father."
After Jiang Yu took the instant noodles away, Wen Yanqing was still frowning and thinking.
It wasn't until Jiang Yu asked him to come over to help that he came to his senses.
He saw that in addition to preparing mushrooms and minced meat, Jiang Yu also took out the yolks of salted duck eggs.
Puzzled, he said, "Wife, what kind of sauce are you going to make? Why are there so many things?"
Jiang Yu: "I'm going to make different flavors of bibimbap sauce."
It was the first time Wen Yanqing heard such a term: "Rice sauce?"
Jiang Yu nodded and pointed at the ingredients. "It's a sauce that can be used with rice or noodles. This is for mayonnaise, and this is for mushroom sauce. Now let's make the minced meat sauce first."
As she spoke, she asked Wen Yanqing to light the fire.
I could smell the fragrance after a while.
Jiang Yu opened the lid of the pot, revealing a thick brown-red sauce.
A rich aroma of sauce wafted into Jiang Yu's nose. He poured the minced meat he had just fried into the sauce pot and stirred it constantly with a spatula.
The sauce was extremely thick and had an oily sheen. It took some effort to stir it with a spatula to ensure that it was evenly mixed, so Jiang Yu asked Wen Yanqing to help with this step.
To prevent the pot from sticking, stir constantly. The sauce will become thicker and thicker, making a gurgling sound.
The whole house is filled with the rich aroma of sauce, fresh and salty. Because the sauce is made with tsaoko, angelica, ginger, cinnamon and other spices, it also has a rich medicinal aroma and aniseed aroma.
After Jiang Yu asked Wen Yanqing to scoop out some of the sauce, he poured the rest into red oil. The bright and translucent red oil mixed with the brown-red minced meat sauce, adding a touch of bright color and letting the sauce be permeated with a hint of spicy aroma from the red oil.
Jiang Yu took out a soup spoon and scooped a little for Wen Yanqing, then handed it to him to taste: "Try how it tastes. Eat a little. Although it is only a little spicy, it is a bit salty."
Wen Yanqing took the spoon and tasted a little minced meat sauce with the tip of his tongue.
It is not salty at all. The first taste you taste on your tongue is freshness, followed by a rich aroma of sauce. Various spices make the sauce aroma long and rich, with a hint of spicy aroma. After the spicy aroma, only the aftertaste of sweetness blended with the sauce aroma remains.
He put all the sauce in the spoon into his mouth. The minced meat sauce was still hot, and the flavor was even more fresh, fragrant and spicy. The minced meat was chopped finely, with fat and lean meat alternating. It had the rich and tender texture of fat, and the firm and chewy texture of lean meat.
No wonder it’s called rice sauce. If it’s eaten with hot rice, he can eat a whole bowl of it without getting tired of it.
