Chapter 1189 Shantou Hot Pot (Part 2)
After the raw meat is matured, the connective tissue in the muscles is broken up, giving it a more unique taste. After being air-dried, hung, fermented by beneficial bacteria, etc., the meat becomes delicate and soft, the taste is greatly improved, and you will get an unexpected benefit. The ultimate flavor as expected.
While eating meat, Yu Yue asked Helan Xinran: "Classmate Helan, do you think this looks like the cured pork ribs hot pot we eat in Yunzhou, China?"
Helan Xinran was already a little full. Hearing this, he ate a few more pieces, nodded, looked at him with bright eyes and said, "It's really similar!"
Cured pork ribs are a specialty of Lijiang, Yunzhou, and hotpot with cured pork ribs is a specialty delicacy of Lijiang, Yunzhou.
Lijiang Cured Spare Ribs are made from pork ribs, preferably cartilage ribs, marinated with a large amount of salt, and some add auxiliary liquor, sugar, spices, etc., and placed in a wooden barrel that can be filtered with water for about fifteen days. After pickling, the salt flavor has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, the flavors of the bones and meat have blended together, and a large amount of water has been pickled out. At this time, the flavor of the meat is not enough; after salting, take it out to dry in a shaded and ventilated place. , the drying time is between one month and three months, and then the taste becomes "full of bacon".
Good cured pork ribs should be dry and firm, yellow and red inside, bright in color, with no mold spots on the surface, and smell faintly of meat. They are best used for hot pot. At this time, not only will there be a cured flavor, but the meat will be fresh. The taste has not been lost, and the food is as fresh as before. The tough meat shreds wrap around the tongue, and the fragrance is overflowing. Even the cartilage is edible. The taste is crisp and tough, and it makes a "crunching" sound when chewed, and it is full of flavor.
Food often brings back memories. Helan Xinran was eating "bacon" hot pot, recalling those beautiful days when her classmates were in love, and her pretty face was filled with sweetness.
She looked at Yu Yue and asked, "This is how you took Youyou and Teacher Jiang on a picnic, right?"
An "exclamation point" appeared on Yu Yue's head, and he immediately warned whether this was a proposition. It was okay to take Youyou with you, but there was a problem with "taking Teacher Jiang for a picnic".
He considered it and said, "Yeah."
Helan smiled brightly, like the refreshing wind in the mountains.
She said: "Classmate Yu, why are you nervous?
I'm just asking you yes or no? "
Yu Yue said yes.
Helan Xinran looked yearning: "That's great, I'm so envious! It's great that Youyou can travel around the world with you and get close to nature!"
She asked Yuyou: "Youyou, do you like traveling around the world with your father?"
Yu You's little mouth was filled with meat and she said vaguely: "I like it."
Yu Yue looked at the two of them and said: "I will definitely take you two together in the future. Not to mention traveling around the world, even interstellar travel is no problem."
Helan Xinran looked at him, her eyes as bright as stars: "Is it true?"
Yu Yue said: "Really."
Rosen stopped beside him in frustration, feeling that he couldn't eat anymore.
You tied me here to feed me dog food?
If I am guilty, please let the law punish me instead of torturing me like this!
Helan Xinran noticed that Yuan Xiaolou was frowning nearby and did not do anything, so he asked with concern: "Why don't you eat?"
Yu Yue said: "Sorry, I forgot, he doesn't eat meat."
So I took out a few packages of dehydrated vegetables from the "Kunlun Yiqi Bag" and poured them into the pot to cook.
Yuan Xiaolou then relaxed his brows and began to eat.
Rosen couldn't help but ask: "Is he your child too?"
Yu Yue replied casually: "No, he is a friend Youyou made on the road. He went through some things and then followed us all the way."
Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that you two had already given birth to a second child at such a young age, and that you had both children.
