Chapter 191 Sweet and sour eggplant + stir-fried eggplant = flavored eggplant!(2/3)
What matters is that he can win.
Chen Yan gave her sister a helpless look.
If husband control was a disease, Yueyue would probably be terminally ill.
The game scene.
The contestants are all picking out the ingredients to use.
Guo Xinghai took a piece of salted fish from the shelf. This is the rhythm of making salted fish and eggplant stew.
Wei Gan took a piece of pork belly, probably to make minced pork and eggplant this time.
Lin Xu looked at everyone busy selecting ingredients, feeling a little confused and not knowing what to do.
Although he likes to eat eggplant, the only eggplant he has ever cooked is diced eggplant.
It’s definitely not possible to make marinated eggplant in this situation today.
Because there are no noodles on the shelf, it’s too late to make the noodles now.
Recalling the techniques I have mastered, it seems that there are several ways to choose from, such as sweet and sour eggplant, or stir-fried eggplant, which can be made now.
But sweet and sour eggplant and dry-fried eggplant are too common.
Moreover, these two dishes, one is sweet and sour and the other is spicy, are too simple in taste, so they may not necessarily get high scores when cooked.
Think again, think again, and see what other dishes can taste good and get high scores at the same time.
Ingredients are limited this round.
Everyone is making a fuss about eggplant.
So you must come up with new ideas so that you can impress the judges.
He thought carefully about how to make sweet and sour eggplant and stir-fried eggplant, and suddenly a new idea came to his mind:
Would it be better if we combined these two dishes?
Follow this idea.
He gradually derived the recipe for the entire dish.
First, you need to fry the eggplants until they are crispy enough, then pour the cooked sauce over them. The crispy texture will be more intense when it hits the sweet and sour spicy sauce.
To achieve this, the eggplant should be sliced slightly thinner.
Otherwise the fried eggplant will definitely become soft.
As for the sauce, it also needs to be cooked until it is thick enough.
It’s best to cook it until it feels as sticky and gummy as rock sugar elbow.
Only in this way can it be hung on the eggplant.
At the same time, it can also keep the eggplant crispy and not soft for a long time.
After all, Lin Xu’s cooking experience has become richer and richer after cooking for so long, and he can even deduce new dishes based on the experience he has mastered.
After understanding the entire cooking process.
He picked two long purple eggplants, and took dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, sugar, vinegar, corn starch and other ingredients and condiments, and returned to his stove to start preparing.
"What is Boss Lin going to do?"
"White sugar and mature vinegar should be used to make sweet and sour eggplant, while chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns should be used to make stir-fried eggplant or spicy eggplant. When these two are combined together, I don't quite understand?"
"Is it the spicy sweet and sour eggplant?"
"It could also be the sweet and sour spicy eggplant."
"Upstairs, where are you two staying here?"
"No matter what I do, I just want Boss Lin to win the championship quickly and don't make any trouble."
"..."
The live streaming car at the back door of Building 1.
Zeng Xiaoqi said excitedly:
"Mr. Zhen, we have surpassed Minsheng Channel's "Hot News Tracking" and are not far behind Sports Channel's "Today's Sports." With this momentum, by the time of the finals, we may become the No.
Where is the ratings champion of the time slot?"
This is so gratifying.
The channel with the lowest ratings in Taiwan suddenly turned around.
Is there anything more awesome than this?
Zhen Wensheng was watching a live broadcast on the Internet at the moment, and the barrage in the live broadcast room inspired him.
"Xiaoqi, what do you think we can also interact with the viewers watching TV? Let them leave messages on the WeChat official account and guess the dish Lin Xu will cook. If they guess correctly, they will get tickets to the scenic spot."
This...
Zeng Xiaoqi thinks you can try it.
It just attracts a wave of traffic to the official account of the Travel Channel.
In front of the stove.
Lin Xu washed the eggplant with salt.
Then put it on the chopping board.
This is a new attempt and there is no reference anywhere, so everything must be done cautiously and cautiously.
In this round of competition, he no longer expects to get first place, as long as he ensures that he is not eliminated.
Place the washed eggplants on the chopping board.
First cut off the eggplant handle, then cut the eggplant in half.
After cutting it, he thought about it and cut the eggplant in half again.
Well, this looks like it's going to happen.
However, after cutting it like this, there is too much flesh in the eggplant. According to his experience of eating fried skewers, such eggplants are easy to fry until soft, but it is not easy to fry them crispy.
The excess eggplant pulp must be removed.
He used a kitchen knife to slice off the flesh of the eggplant, and then cut the remaining parts into strips about one centimeter wide.
Cut and serve on a plate.
Then pour a little water on it, grab a handful of dry starch and sprinkle it in.
If you want the eggplant to be fried and crispy, you can no longer use salt to kill the water, otherwise the eggplant will be soft and the crispy texture will not be achieved.
Stir in the basin with your hands so that the dry starch hangs evenly on the surface of the eggplant.
After hanging, heat the oil in a pan and prepare for deep-frying.
Lin Xu was not idle while waiting for the oil to come up. He cut the dried chilies into chili segments, peeled and washed the garlic, cut it into slices, and added a handful of green peppercorns.
These are the ingredients used to make this dish.
When he first started doing it, Lin Xu was actually a little nervous, fearing that he might overturn if he didn't do it well.
By this time, he had become calmer.
I don’t even care much about rankings, I just want to make the deduced dishes, taste them, and see if there are any shortcomings.
When the oil temperature is 60% hot.
Lin Xu scattered the eggplant strips covered with dry starch into the pot and poured oil.
Do not turn the eggplant strips when they are first removed, otherwise the dry starch on the surface will be detached.
Fry until the eggplant strips are slightly browned, and then gently stir them in the pot with a spoon to separate the ones that are stuck together.
Under the influence of hot oil.
The originally soft eggplant strips quickly became hard.
When stirring in the pot with a spoon, you can even hear the friction sound of the eggplant strips colliding with each other.
When the surface is browned, use a slotted spoon to remove the oil.
By the way, use a leak-proof drain to beat the fat in the pot to prevent the fallen dry starch from being fried in the pot and causing the fat to become bitter.
The oil temperature is 70% hot.
Put the eggplant strips into the oil pan again and fry again.
The surface of the re-fried Neng Neng eggplant strips will be crispier and less likely to soften.
Reexplode for fifteen seconds.
Remove the eggplant strips from the pot, pour out the oil in the pot at the same time, leaving a little base oil, heat it up and pour in the dried Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers and garlic slices.
Stir-fry over low heat to bring out the spicy flavor.
