When Chen Yan pushed her shopping trolley back to the dining car, Zhou Zhou was busy in the kitchen.

"Lao Zhou, I must have benefited from you today. My trip went very smoothly. The potato chips and various drinks totaled more than 300 yuan!

I have a hunch that we will be able to sell more train meals tonight."

Chen Yan, who was happily boasting about her "achievements", took out a lotus pod from the bag, gently pulled out a snow-white lotus seed and threw it into her mouth: "Old Zhou, what are you doing with the pork belly? Is it tonight?"

The dish is braised pork?

That's not right... What are you doing by removing the fat and removing the pig skin? The braised pork is about five-flowered and three-layered. If you remove the top layer of fat and pork skin, it will

It’s not authentic anymore.”

The seemingly heavy kitchen knife became extremely nimble as soon as it reached Zhou Zhou's hands. Two large pieces of pork belly had been quickly broken apart by him. The top pig skin was removed and piled aside. The fattest layer of pork under the pig skin was

The fat meat was also cut off by Zhou Zhou. There were two large white lumps, and the rich fat in them was slowly leaking out.

After removing the pig skin and the thickest layer of pig fat, the two large pieces of pork belly turned into skinless meat that was six parts lean and four parts fat. Zhou Zhou put one piece back into the cold snow area of ​​the freezer and said with a smile: "

This piece is used to make chili fried pork tonight.

The key to stir-fried pork with chili is the word "explosion", which means the meat should be lean but not dry, the fat should not be greasy, and the meat should be alternately fat and thin, making the gods salivate.

Therefore, the top pig skin and pig fat must be removed, otherwise the pig skin will become woody and hard during stir-frying..."

The recipe for stir-fried pork with chili peppers can be found on the Internet. With the skills of a senior chef in Zhouzhou, you can understand the essence of it after reading it a few times. What he just said is the key to making stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

Peel off the skin and remove the fat. This is the biggest difference between stir-fried pork with chili and twice-cooked pork in Sichuan cuisine. Twice-cooked pork has an extra step of cooking the pork belly, so you can naturally retain the pig skin and the thickest layer of pork fat. But stir-fried pork with chili is different.

, the emphasis is on stir-frying and popping, and only laymen will keep the pork skin on the pork belly.

"Is there stir-fried pork with chili pepper for dinner? It's so good. I love this dish the most. Lao Zhou, we have agreed to leave a box of stir-fried pork with chili pepper for rice later. There will be more rice and vegetables."

Some!"

"Haha, didn't you say you wanted to lose weight? What about your determination?"

"Start tomorrow and lose weight again. Today is the last time you exceed the standard!"

"Okay then, I'll save a big one for you, and Aunt Xia, Li Dazui and the others, everyone has a staff meal."

Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded, his eyes sweeping over the candied haws-like Chen Yan, thinking to himself, isn't this great? Why should I lose weight? It would be best if I could gain another 20 kilograms...

You can't say this to Chen Yan face to face, otherwise this girl will probably go crazy on the spot and even bite someone if she gets anxious.

"Old Zhou, what are you doing?"

The girl's intuition told Chen Yan that Lao Zhou was clearly coveting her toned figure just now. After feeling a little sweet, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly opened a new topic.

Zhou Zhou had already divided the remaining piece of pork belly into three large pieces, put them into a large stainless steel basin, and added onions, ginger, star anise, pepper, bay leaves, angelica, fennel and other spices.

Pour in a bottle of light soy sauce and a third of a bottle of dark soy sauce, then keep rubbing the square pieces of meat in the sauce, and finally seal the large stainless steel basin with plastic wrap.

"Are you preparing to cook barbecue?"

Although Chen Yan is an out-and-out Modu native, her mother is from the north; every late autumn and early winter, she would marinate some pork and beef in advance and then roast them.

That was the most unforgettable taste in her childhood. When she grew up, she didn't dare to eat these delicacies in order to stay in shape, but her mouth still watered every time she thought about it.

"Of course not. Although there can be a coal stove on a green leather car, it is impossible to do barbecue."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said: "There will be a new dish tonight. It originally required ham, and it would be best to use plump 'cloud legs'. Unfortunately, there is no preparation in the car, so I can only settle for the next best thing and make some."

The meat is marinated.

Well, you can call it 'Qing Sauce Pork'. To be precise, this should be regarded as a simplified and quick version of Qing Sauce Pork. If it is authentic Qing Sauce Pork, it must be marinated for at least a week."

“Pork with clear sauce??

I’ve never heard of it, Lao Zhou, where did you learn it?”

Although Chen Yan is not a diligent person, she has eaten it before. Besides, she has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away. In this era of information explosion, there are actually delicacies that she has never heard of. This is absolutely impossible.

?

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because... this 'Qing Sauce Pork' was invented by my own research. What do you think? Doesn't the name sound very appetizing?"

Zhou Zhou smiled and looked at Chen Yan who looked suspicious. He washed the wok and poured a bowl of water into it. Then he cut the two large pieces of fat into two centimeter square pieces and poured them into the pot to start cooking.

Making lard.

"We can't wait for seven days, so we can only rely on this pot of lard to make it quick.

By the way... there is a delicious food in this world that people cannot part with, it is a common memory for everyone; no matter rich or poor, everyone has enjoyed this childhood delicious food, Chen Yan, do you want to guess what it is?"

"you you you you......"

Chen Yan looked at the rising lard liquid level in the pot and the pieces of pig fat floating on the lard. When she saw that the originally white pig fat meat was gradually dyed with a layer of golden yellow, her complexion suddenly changed.

Pointing at Zhou Zhou with his slender fingers, he weakly said: "Old Zhou, you are so vicious!"

"Haha, isn't that too exaggerated? Let me tell you, don't be afraid of lard. Lard is the most delicious thing in the world. If you don't dare to eat lard, wouldn't your life be in vain?

Besides, you girls won’t refuse butter when eating Western food, it’s butter! Why are you afraid of lard?”

Zhou Zhou used a frying spoon to gently stir the pieces of lard that had turned golden in the pot. Watching them gradually shrink into golden-red lard residue, he couldn't help but inhale the aroma.

"Chen Yan, are you sure you don't want to try the lard residue made by this chef?

Let me tell you, if this thing is sprinkled with sugar or raw salt, it will immediately become the most delicious thing in the world...Tell me, do you like salty or sweet food?"

"Please add some sugar...ah, what did I just say?

Lao Zhou, you are so vicious. Have you always had a problem with me, and now you are deliberately trying to turn me into a fat woman?

Oh, the bowl is a bit hot."

Chen Yan, who said no, but was very honest, took the small bowl of lard residue and took one look at it, and couldn't move her eyes away again.

Dozens of pieces of lard residue were piled up in the bowl, which were only the size of a man's middle fingernail. Each piece was an attractive golden red color without a trace of scorch marks. The snow-white icing sugar was piled on top of the lard residue and was forced by the heat.

Extremely sweet.

No longer caring about calculating how many calories this bowl of lard dregs contained, Chen Yan picked up her chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of lard dregs and put it into her mouth. She chewed it lightly, and the crispy skin of the lard dregs broke with her teeth, followed by a mouthful of pork lard.

A pure buttery aroma explodes in your mouth.

Fragrant, sweet, mellow... As Zhou Zhou said, this is one of the best delicacies in the world!

The huge feeling of satisfaction rushed straight down Chen Yan's esophagus into the depths of her brain. This is enjoyment, such a happy feeling... Just get fat, anyway, I will start to lose weight tomorrow, determined

of!

"It's poisonous...it's delicious...well, Lao Zhou, why don't you eat it yourself?"

Chen Yan unknowingly finished a small bowl of lard crumbs, and then accepted the bowl of salty lard crumbs with raw salt from Zhou Zhou. Seeing that Zhou Zhou didn't seem to have any intention of eating,

I feel a little embarrassed.

"What are you talking about? I want to stay in shape. I'm on a diet recently."
Chapter completed!
