Chapter 214 The representative dish made of meat and meat - braised rabbit! How to make fruit vinegar! 【Ask for monthly ticket】

rabbit?

This thing must be braised!

In the morning, I was thinking about getting some meat for Dundun that it had never eaten before, but unexpectedly, my second uncle got a rabbit.

Lin Xu said to Chen Meiliang:

"Second uncle, rabbit meat is suitable for braised pork. How about I cook it? I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway."

"Okay, then I'll take it to your uncle later. You can just pack it up when you go. I didn't plan on drinking at first, but for this rabbit, I'll have to drink two glasses of it with your dad in the evening."

My second uncle is living a very free and easy life now.

Apart from eating and drinking, I just wandered around the reservoir.

But he was really lucky. Yesterday, he caught a snakehead fish weighing several kilograms as soon as he set off the net. Today, he caught a rabbit while wandering around.

Plus the fish and shrimps we usually catch.

He is simply a full-time hunter.

Distracted by this, Lin Xu and Shen Baobao stopped kissing me.

The cute rabbit is waiting to be braised, and there is also fruit vinegar to make, so the kissing thing will naturally be put off for a later time.

After loading the wild fruits on the coffee table into the car, Lin Xu immediately changed into a T-shirt and drove Shen Baobao to the farmhouse restaurant.

After arriving.

The second uncle had already sent the rabbit over and locked it in the same cage as the goose.

Dundun, who was originally at the ticket office with her mother, has taken off her sweater because she is not in an air-conditioned room, and is now spinning around the iron cage.

Apparently, this little guy found new prey.

In a restaurant not far away, several nearby villagers were bringing the wild products they had picked and asked their mother Chen Meijuan to weigh them one by one.

The mountain products sold in scenic spots are basically provided by these villagers.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was busy, Shen Baobao quickly went to help.

Lin Xu shouted to Dundun who was wandering around the cage:

"Don't get too close. Be careful to bite you. This thing's bite will be very painful."

After saying that, he took the picked wild fruits to the kitchen, intending to wash them and prepare them for making fruit vinegar, and then clean up the hare.

in the kitchen.

Uncle Shi Wenming is taking the account book and calculating today's turnover.

Seeing Lin Xu come in, he smiled and said:

"Today's turnover has really exceeded 10,000. If business continues to be this good, our restaurant will still have to hire two people."

My uncle is now in charge of the restaurant alone. The second aunt will come over to help when she is not busy, but today she has to supervise Shi Moli's homework, so the second aunt has no time to come over.

Lin Xu said:

"Hire people when you need to, don't be tired."

As he was talking, Shi Wenming saw the wild fruits brought by Lin Xu:

"Hey, such a good fruit? It was picked in the back mountain, right?"

"Yes, I just picked some with Yueyue. She likes to drink fruit vinegar, so I'm going to make some. Drinking this stuff is good for your health and is better than drinking drinks."

"Yes, yes, fruit vinegar is really good to drink. It softens blood vessels and so on. If your second aunt was fine before, you should drink some."

Lin Xu put the picked wild fruits into a basin, washed them with clean water, picked out the bad ones, washed them and put them in a bamboo basket to dry.

When using fruits to make fruit vinegar, the surface should not be stained with raw water, otherwise it will easily break.

So try to dry the surface of the fruit as much as possible.

Only in this way will the made fruit vinegar not go bad.

Place the bamboo basket in front of the fan to speed up the evaporation of water on the surface of the wild fruits.

While he was busy with wild fruits, Shi Wenming asked:

"Are you going to be that rabbit tonight?"

"Yes, my second uncle said he would have some drinks with you tonight."

"Then let me kill the rabbit for you. I'm more familiar with killing this thing."

Lin Xuzheng was worried about how to deal with the rabbit. Unexpectedly, his uncle actually took the initiative to do the work, so he did not refuse:

"Thank you very much, uncle."

"My family said that this is not true. I just like the feeling of skinning rabbits. It is so therapeutic."

cure?

Uncle, your interests are quite interesting.

After Lin Xu arranged the fruits, he left the kitchen. Just as he was about to take a look at the processing of the rabbit, he saw that Shi Wenming had already finished.

At this moment, he was striding towards the kitchen carrying the cleaned rabbit.

Wow!

The process was over before I even had time to watch.

Isn't this too fast?

Just when he was about to praise him, Shi Wenming sighed with emotion:

"It's really a bit tricky if you don't handle this thing for a while. Under normal circumstances, the rabbit skin should be peeled off within five seconds."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ?

I really didn’t expect that my uncle was still a talent that Tuchang was in urgent need of.

Just as he was about to follow him into the kitchen and start cleaning up the rabbit, he saw Dundun not far away, looking at his uncle's back with a look of horror.

Obviously, the killing process just left a psychological shadow on this little guy.

Lin Xu walked over and held Dundun in his arms.

Only then did the little guy come back to his senses:

"Meow!"

It pointed at the rabbit skin spread out on the cage with its paw, looking frightened.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Isn't this to improve your life? I'll give you a rabbit leg to try later so you can enjoy it first."

But Dundun still looked very scared.

It pointed to the rabbit skin, and then to the fur on its body.

Apparently, the little guy discovered that he was no different from the rabbit.

So right now, he looks like a sad cat.

Lin Xu scratched its chin, then put his forehead on the little guy's head, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, my dear, you are my good boy, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Such a sensible cat has no time to hurt, so how could it hurt you?

After being comforted like this.

Dundun immediately rubbed Lin Xu's neck with its head.

Then the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host comforted Dundun with all his heart, completed the hidden task [Soothing Pet], and obtained the perfect braised dish - Braised Rabbit Meat. Congratulations to the host."

Holy shit!

Is this actually a hidden mission?

Fortunately, I just held Dundun to comfort her.

Otherwise, you will definitely miss such a good reward.

Although Lin Xu looked eager to try it before, he was actually not good at making rabbit meat, and the system did not reward similar practices.

He just felt that as long as more chili spices were added, the rabbit meat would not be unpalatable.

But now after reading the experience of perfect-grade braised rabbit, I discovered that the preparation of this dish is very particular, and it can easily overturn if you are not careful.

For example, rabbit meat is relatively lean and has very low fat content.

It would be a big mistake to cook according to the usual cooking concept of "vegetarian dishes with meat and vegetables, and vegetarian dishes with meat". This dish must be made with lard.

In this way, the flavor will be stronger and the meat will become more fragrant, soft and smooth.

If vegetable oil is used, the rabbit meat will not only be dry and woody, but will also be seriously lacking in flavor.

In addition, rabbit meat has a strong grassy smell. If you want it to taste delicious, you must add some ingredients and ingredients to remove the smell and taste.

For example, angelica, white pepper, lemon, high-quality liquor, etc.

Only in this way will the rabbit meat be delicious and delicious, and go well with both wine and rice.

After reading it, Dundun no longer looked frightened in his arms. He jumped out of Lin Xu's arms and ran straight to the pool, leaning forward and trying to pull out the black fish.

However, the black fish flicked its tail and splashed water all over Dundun.

Lin Xu: "..."

You're in childish mode again, right?

He didn't care about the little guy, but walked into the kitchen and started playing with the rabbit.

Well, now that you've got the practice.

Then let’s get started.

Just take a look at the difference between braised rabbit meat made with perfect cooking methods.

First chop the rabbit into large pieces with a kitchen knife, and then soak it in cold water. This will remove the fishy smell and make the meat more moist and tender.

While soaking the rabbit meat, Lin Xu picked off a piece of rabbit meat from a rabbit leg.

Steam it in a pot later and give it to Dundun to taste.

I just got a perfect braised rabbit recipe from it, and it makes no sense if I don’t reward him with a wave of rewards.

Well, not only rabbit meat will be rewarded, but also black fish meat will be rewarded on grandma’s birthday.

Let this little guy taste the joy of eating meat.

After the rabbit meat was steamed, Lin Xu found that the water on the surface of the dried fruits had been dried, leaving only the fruit bases and the parts touching the bamboo basket with a little water, so he turned the fruits one by one.

After finishing this, start preparing the ingredients needed to make braised rabbit meat.

A few green onion segments, a few slices of ginger, a few grains of garlic, a large handful of dried chili segments, a pinch of Sichuan peppercorns, a few chili pepper rings cut from wattle sticks, various spices...

When everything is ready, take the rabbit meat out of the water.

Slightly control the water and put the wok on the pan. Heat the pan first, then grease the pan with cold oil, and then add a tablespoon of lard.

Soon, the oil was hot.

Lin Xu put the onion, ginger and garlic into the pot, sauteed it until fragrant, then added the rabbit meat and started to stir-fry.

The fire in this step must be high, so that the peculiar smell in the rabbit meat will evaporate from the meat along with the water under the action of high-temperature hot oil.

When the surface of the rabbit meat changes color slightly, add the prepared spices and dried chili peppers and continue to stir-fry to allow the flavor of the spices to quickly penetrate into the rabbit meat and further remove the odor of the rabbit meat.

When the spicy flavor comes out, add some strong white wine along the edge of the pot.

Use the volatility of alcohol to continue removing the odor from rabbit meat.

After this step, the peculiar smell in the meat has been completely removed.

Then add the braised soy sauce, add water and simmer slowly.

After closing the lid.

Shi Wenming said with emotion:

"No wonder the rabbit I stewed before didn't taste good. It turns out that lard is needed in this thing. I learned a trick from my eldest nephew."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"When making dishes with low fat content, you have to add lard or butter. When cooking meat or meat dishes, lard was always used when cooking fish."

When cooking, you must learn to flexibly adjust the oil used according to the ingredients.

When the food is fatty, use plain oil or no oil and use the food's own fat to cook it.

Use lard when the ingredients are too thin or lack flavor.

You can even use chicken fat if you want to add freshness.

Some specific dishes, such as less popular dishes like 'It's like honey', also need to be cooked with sesame oil.

While the rabbit meat was being stewed, Lin Xu brought over the nearly dried wild fruits and prepared to make fruit vinegar.

There are two ways to make fruit vinegar, one is beverage vinegar and the other is cooking vinegar.

The so-called beverage vinegar is brewed by using vinegar with a relatively simple flavor such as white vinegar or rice vinegar as the base, and adding fruits, sugar, honey and other ingredients.

The resulting fruit vinegar is sweet and sour.

You can drink it directly or mix it with water.

Cooking vinegar is vinegar produced by fermenting washed fruits in a sealed container.

Although the fruit vinegar made in this way has a fruity taste, it is more sour and is not suitable for drinking directly. It can only be added when cooking.

Since I am making it for Baby Shen today, I naturally want to make it into beverage vinegar.

Lin Xu found a glass jar of about 5 liters, washed it and dried the water inside.

Then bring over the dried wild fruits, cut off the stems and put them in half, remove the core and put them in a glass jar.

Sprinkle a layer of white sugar on top.

When the wild fruits are almost done, pour some honey and then white vinegar.

The amount of vinegar should be more than two-thirds of the glass jar, leaving a little air inside, which is more conducive to fermentation.

Making vinegar and making wine are two different practices.

Brewing requires isolation of air so that starches and sugars can be converted into alcohol.

When making vinegar, there must be a certain amount of air so that sugar and starch can produce acetic acid.

If the same ingredients, such as sorghum, are isolated from the air and brewed, sorghum wine will be brewed. However, if the air is not isolated, the brewed vinegar will be mature vinegar.

Cover the glass jar and place it in a shady place.

After about a month, the vinegar in the jar will be completely brewed.

Lin Xu planned to brew some more fruit vinegar before leaving, so that not only could his mother and two aunts and the others taste it, but he could even bring a few jars to his mother-in-law.

Well, this beauty and beauty health drink is my mother-in-law’s favorite.

Bringing a few jars back will definitely make her happy.

After making these fruit vinegar.

The rabbit meat in the pot is almost cooked.

After opening the lid of the pot, the spicy and spicy flavor immediately wafted out from the pot.

Due to the presence of lard, the meat in the pot is shiny and red, making it look very tempting.

Lin Xu added salt, sugar, pepper and other condiments for seasoning, then added onions and green and red pepper rings, stir-fried over high heat to collect the soup, then took half a lemon and squeezed out a little lemon into the pot. juice.

Lemon has a strong deodorizing and freshening effect, which can further remove the grassy smell from rabbit meat.

After doing this, take it out of the pot and put it on a plate.

By now everyone had come back and started eating.

After bringing the rabbit meat to the dining table, Lin Xu put the steamed rabbit meat into the cat bowl where Dundun was eating.

This little guy was originally circling the pool wanting revenge, but as a result, more and more water was splashed on him.

After hearing Lin Xu's call to eat, it immediately shook off the water on its body, quickly ran to the bowl, smelled the rabbit meat first, and then lowered its head to eat.

Well, only when you are full can you have the strength to defeat the big black fish!

In front of the dining table.

Dinner at the Lin family began.

Lin Hongqi took a bottle of Luzhou and served it to her second uncle Chen Meiliang and her second uncle Shi Wenming:

"Thank you for your hard work."

The second uncle smiled and said:

"Civilization is hard work. I'm just visiting mountains and rivers... But as the number of tourists increases, more and more children start to gather near the reservoir. Tomorrow I will make a few more warning signs and put them up at regular intervals. A few lifebuoys, and a few small speakers that play in a loop, so that parents can keep an eye on their children."

The biggest fear around water is drowning.

So be very careful.

Lin Hongqi said:

"Just tell me if you don't have enough manpower. If it doesn't work, I'll arrange a few more people to help you."

"It's not necessary yet. Just be careful at the water park. Children get messy when there are too many. We didn't see any children drowning."

Parents bring their children to the scenic spots for leisure and relaxation, and they must be less vigilant than usual.

Therefore, you have to worry more about the scenic spot to avoid any unexpected incidents.

When several elders were chatting.

Chen Yuanyuan quietly put a piece of braised rabbit meat into her bowl, lowered her head and took a bite, then gave a thumbs up to Lin Xu next to her:

"This is the most delicious rabbit meat I have ever eaten in my entire life!"

When the rabbit meat enters the mouth, it does not have the dryness and firewood of ordinary rabbits, but the plumpness of lard.

It felt a little greasy when I first entered the mouth, but after biting into the meat, the plumpness just offset the slightly spicy taste of the rabbit meat.

It also makes up for the lack of flavor of rabbit meat.

After the aroma comes up, it tastes obviously different.

This aroma, coupled with the spicy taste, will unknowingly whet your appetite, and you can't help but want to take a bite of rice or a sip of white wine.

"It's delicious! It tastes amazing!"

"Don't forget to serve this braised rabbit dish when you go back to the restaurant in Beijing. It will definitely be very popular."

"With wine and food, this is how a dish should be."

"Wow! The soup bibimbap is also delicious. Sister Yuanyuan, please try it."

“There’s also that faint lemon flavor, which is fresh and delicious!”

"..."

Everyone was attracted by this delicious rabbit meat.

My father and second uncle even forgot to drink.

Shi Wenming said with emotion:

"The way we cooked rabbits at home was wrong in the past. After watching Xiaoxu's operation today, I realized that if this thing is to be delicious, lard must be added."

He planned to buy two rabbits and stew them in lard when he was grocery shopping tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

If possible, the farm-style restaurant will start offering new dishes.

While eating and chatting, Baobao Shen talked about picking wild fruits to make fruit vinegar.

As soon as she heard the fruit vinegar beauty treatment, Chen Meijuan suddenly became excited:

"Wenming, buy two boxes of white vinegar when you go shopping tomorrow morning. I will also pick wild fruits tomorrow and try to make more."

Not only does she want to drink it herself, she even wants to buy some exquisite glass bottles to put the brewed fruit vinegar in, so that she can sell it as a specialty of the scenic spot.

After meal.

Because it is still early and not dark yet.

The second uncle said to Lin Xu:

"Xiao Xu, I have to watch the children by the reservoir tomorrow. I don't have time to set up the shrimp pots. How about we go up now and see how the harvest is."

Lin Xu happened to want to try the shrimp cakes he got yesterday, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, second uncle, let's set off now."

Shen Baobao was originally trying to save his stepmother's image with a cat-catching stick. When he heard that they were going to the reservoir, he happily sat on the commuter car and followed him.

Wow, how could something like setting up a shrimp trap be without my baby's participation?

A group of people came to the edge of the reservoir.

After getting on the assault boat one by one, we quickly headed towards the place where the shrimp pots were placed.

Arriving at the location where the shrimp pots were placed, the second uncle slowly lifted the shrimp pots that had sunk to the bottom of the water along the buoys.

The moment he came out of the water, Shen Baobao, who was sitting on the side of the boat, screamed:

"Wow! There's a snake in there!"

Lin Xu was excited, took another closer look, and quickly took the girl's hand and said:

"It's not a snake, it's an eel."

The second uncle held the shrimp pot and took a closer look:

"Oh, this eel is beautiful. It looks like a small rolling pin. It will be delicious again tomorrow. Xiaoxu, what is the best way to make this thing?"

What to do?

There are a lot of eel recipes in Huaiyang cuisine.

I don't know how to make shredded eels fried in oil, eel paste in oil, fried eel segments, etc., but I don't know any of them, and the system has never given me similar ingredients...

When he was worried, Lin Xu suddenly remembered that there is also a famous dish of eel in Cantonese cuisine, and said with a smile:

"Then let's simply make a dish of panlong eel with black bean sauce."
