The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 78 Sauces
"The host's knife skills are still as pure and light as fire."

"Didn't someone complain about the anchor last time, saying that the anchor's knife skills were specially practiced? Where are the people who sprayed? Continue?"

"Every time I see the anchor cooking, I eat it specially. This time it's the same... I feel hungry when I see the anchor pick up the kitchen knife."

"Brother on the mouth, stop, this is just the beginning, when you are hungry, you will be behind."

While preparing the ingredients, Li Yuan usually continues to teach online for everyone.

"Iron pot stew is a special feature in Northeast China, and among them, the most typical ones are big goose stewed in iron pot and fish stewed in iron pot."

"Today I will teach you how to stew fish in an iron pot."

"First of all, prepare these side dishes first, and use them when they are put into the pot later."

Li Yuan handled the potatoes and eggplant very quickly, then used a kitchen knife to make hob pieces and put them aside for later use, and then cut half a piece of tofu with it, ready to be put into the pot.

Take out the vermicelli in an amount of about 300 grams, and soak it in warm water first.

Then, it was time to prepare the sauce for stewed fish.

Li Yuan: "The most important thing in stewing fish in an iron pot is the sauce used for stewing fish. Today, I will give you a commonly used sauce for stewing."

"Is the anchor going to impart the secret? Hurry up, hurry up, I want to write it down in a small notebook!"

"The Li family is teaching online, no, I have to ask my family to come over and learn!"

"Online teaching by the anchor? That must be a good thing! Hurry up, the anchor, I've already got my notebook!"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he took out various materials that had been prepared long ago.

On the other side, when Hu Kai saw the materials that Li Yuan had already prepared, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"I'll go, when did you prepare so many things?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I went down to the market to buy it yesterday."

Hu Kai was a little puzzled.

"Yesterday afternoon? I remember I made an appointment with you to go fishing at noon..."

"Could it be that you were ready to cook fish stew in an iron pot yesterday? So, you guessed that you would be able to catch fish early in the morning?"

Hu Kai couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Although he knew that Li Yuan's fishing skills were good, Hu Kai only now knew that Li Yuan was so confident in his ice fishing skills that he had already made preparations early in the morning.

Li Yuan just smiled lightly.

In fact, I didn't expect to catch so many fish, but I had already planned to make fish stew in an iron pot early in the morning, and although Li Yuan didn't think he could catch so many fish, he could still catch so many fish. Confidence, but still there.

After preparing the materials on the side, Li Yuan began to teach the sauce of fish stew in an iron pot online.

"This is cumin, perilla seeds and coriander seeds. Each serving is 500 grams. Put them into a hot iron pan."

"Remember, when frying spices, use low heat and stir fry slowly until the fragrance comes out. Don't be lazy and anxious."

"After sautéing these spices, wrap them in a clean newspaper and roll them with a rolling pin, and mix them all together and evenly."

As Li Yuan said, he demonstrated it to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Open the cans of Meilin steamed pork, 550 grams per can, use three cans, crush the meat inside, then add 5 kilograms of Xiangqi sauce, Northeast soybean paste, 5 bottles of perilla chili sauce, and 500 grams of oyster sauce , and stir well.”

"Put 2500 grams of cooked lard and 500 grams of refined chicken oil in the pot. When it is [-]% hot, sauté [-] grams of green onion and ginger slices that have been compared with pigs before, and filter out the residue with a filter. , and then put the prepared sauce into it."

"At this time, it needs to be simmered on a low heat, and the time is only fifteen to twenty-ten minutes. Put the spices that have been made before into it, continue to simmer for 10 minutes on a low heat, and leave the fire to cool."

As Li Yuan said, he put the freshly fried sauce in a ventilated place to cool it down.

However, in the live broadcast room at this time, there were very few speakers. Obviously, all of them were quietly recording the sauce recipe taught by Li Yuan, and there was no time to speak at all.

"After the sauce is fried, we start to stew the fish."

As Li Yuan said, he heated up the oil very quickly, and then put chopped green onion, sliced ​​ginger, star anise, dried tree pepper and other seasonings into the pot, and sautéed until fragrant.

"Don't forget, put potatoes, eggplants, and tofu in the pot and stir-fry one by one, so that the ingredients can absorb the flavor of oil and seasoning."

"And after frying these seasonings, you can add stewed fish sauce and stir fry."

"The last step is to put the prepared grass carp on top of the stir-fried side dishes, then add water to the pot to cover the body of the fish. After the pot is boiled on high heat, stew for about half an hour. .

Studio.

"Half an hour? Why is it so short this time?"

"Doesn't all fish need to be fried in advance? Why doesn't the anchor fry it first?"

"Yeah, the anchor's approach is a bit unprofessional, right?"

"I think so too. Can the fish made in this way be delicious?"

"The people in the live broadcast room are really funny. A group of people who are not from the north are questioning the approach of a pure Northeast anchor..."

"That's right, I'm a person in charge from the Northeast and I'm telling everyone that the anchor's approach is quite professional!"

"This is called professionalism? Is this called a waste of ingredients!?"

"That's right, doesn't fish without frying have a fishy smell?"

"Those who say they don't need to fry must be ordinary people who don't need to cook!"

Seeing the polarization in the live broadcast room, Li Yuan couldn't help explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Actually, everyone is right. When cooking fish normally, you really need to fry it. But... cooking fish stewed in an iron pot is still somewhat different from our home-cooked fish stew. It really doesn't need to be fried. .”

"Iron pot stewed fish mainly eats the freshness of the fish, so it needs to put a lot of water to stew, and as you have seen just now, there are a lot of side dishes in it. If the fish is fried in oil and then stewed, Then it will affect the tenderness of the fish."

"Because of this, when we made the stewed fish in an iron pot, we directly omitted this step and directly added water to stew."

Studio.

"So that's the case."

"Teaching, the anchor is indeed an anchor, that is, a professional!"

"I naively thought that the anchor was wrong, but I didn't expect that it was me who was wrong this time."

Li Yuan smiled lightly: "You don't live in the Northeast, so it's normal to not know about these things, but if you want to taste the characteristics of our Great Northeast, you can remember the steps I gave you today and try to do it. "

"That's a must, I've already memorized it in my little notebook."

"That's right, although you can't feel the taste of the anchor, it's good to feel the taste of the stewed fish in an iron pot that the anchor has tasted."

"Come on, drag the upstairs out and chop it up, and she will drive again!"
