Chapter 366 [Smooth Fried Tenderloin]
Pork-related dishes are the most varied in Chinese food.
If you want to make a real [Whole Pig Feast], one hundred and eight dishes may not be enough.
At today's banquet, there were only ten diners at each table, but Li Yi had already prepared nearly thirty dishes.
But this can only show part of the content of the [Whole Pig Feast].
The standard of a banquet is to let everyone eat well, but not to waste.
The gastrointestinal function of the elderly is not as good as that of the young. Even if Li Yi controls the amount of food, he may not be able to finish nearly 30 dishes.
Therefore, Li Yi could only try his best to let the old people experience more different cooking techniques.
Among the sixteen hot dishes, the first four are stir-fried dishes, but the cooking methods are different.
[Crispy twice-cooked pork] is stir-fried, that is, fried ingredients that have been processed to half-cooked.
[Milk fried tenderloin] is stir-fried, and it will be cooked in a very short time.
[Crystal Sweet and Sour Pork] is stir-fried. The ingredients are cooked and then thickened with sauce.
For the last stir-fry, there are many ways to choose from, such as the most common raw stir-fry, dry stir-fry commonly used by food stalls, and so on.
However, Li Yi chose a stir-fried dish, [Smooth-fried pork tenderloin].
Stir-frying and stir-frying are two completely opposite methods of frying.
Stir-frying should be done with warm oil, and the oil temperature should not be too high.
But the stir-fry should be fried with hot oil, and the oil temperature should not be too low.
Stir frying is to make the ingredients crispy, while smooth frying pursues softness and tenderness.
This dish is the most "gentle" of the four stir-fried dishes, without splashing hot oil and without cooking syrup.
But it has the highest demand for details.
This dish is very demanding on the marinating of the shredded pork, as it uses egg whites and starch for sizing.
Both egg white and starch will denature after being heated, the egg white will turn white, and the starch will become gelatinized.
If the ratio is not right, the fried shredded pork will stick together or even lose its pulp.
The control of oil temperature and heat is even more critical, which determines whether the texture of shredded pork is tender or dry.
It depends on the experience of the chef.
Still fighting left and right, Li Yi used two woks to stir fry at the same time.
After the meat is smooth and cooked, the remaining steps are simple.
Mix some broth with broth, add some salt and sugar, put some coriander stems and shredded fungus as side dishes, and pour some cooking oil to serve.
Just as Li Yi was serving dishes, the gate of the front yard was opened, and Xiaolan and Wei Shuqian pushed Liu Yifei into the restaurant.
After resting all afternoon, Liu Yifei resolutely refused to waste time in the hotel.
Xiaolan and Wei Shuqian couldn't hold her back, so they had to send her to the restaurant.
Seeing Liu Yifei appearing, Zhao Jinmai, who was busy in the yard, exclaimed and hurried over to greet her.
"Sister Yifei!"
She came closer, looked at Liu Yifei who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked distressedly, "Are you already in a wheelchair? Are you injured so badly?"
In the live broadcast room, the audience was also surprised to see Liu Yifei who suddenly came back in a wheelchair.
"What's the matter? How did Sister Shenxian get hurt?"
"Ah? Didn't you say you only touched your toes? Why are you still in a wheelchair?"
"Oh, little dragon girl has become Qiu Qianchi."
"What did the program group do? A cooking program, artists can be injured?"
Liu Yifei's mobile phone on her lap was playing the live broadcast of the program, and the barrage of the live broadcast room was displayed above it.
Seeing the question in the barrage, she hurriedly pointed at the camera, pointed at her covered foot, and explained with a smile: "I'm fine, the doctor said, it's just a soft tissue contusion, not a bone injury, just rest for a week and you'll be fine." .
Sitting in a wheelchair is just for the convenience of mobility. I can only hop on one foot, otherwise I have to use crutches. "
"That's good."
After listening to Liu Yifei's explanation, Zhao Jinmai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It looks serious, as long as it's okay."
The old lady on the table at the side also noticed Liu Yifei who came in, and asked curiously, "Baby, what's wrong with your leg?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei pushed the wheelchair, came to her, and explained with a smile: "My foot is bruised! The bone is fine, just rest for a few days and it will be fine!"
"oh."
The old grandma stretched out her hand to hold her hand, rubbed the back of her hand, and praised the grandma at the same table with a smile: "Wo Nvwa is so distressed and fair."
Liu Yifei couldn't understand, so she could only laugh without saying a word.
The grandmas at the next table also turned around, looked at her curiously, and asked questions like how old she was, whether she was married or not.
Liu Yifei answered one by one with a smile, and the quiet appearance made the grandmas fall in love with each other.
But when the grandmothers took out their mobile phones and began to introduce their grandsons to her, Liu Yifei finally couldn't stand it anymore.
So, taking advantage of the [Smooth Fried Pork Ribs] on the table, she pulled out and asked Zhao Jinmai to push her into the restaurant and to the back kitchen.
Li Yi was looking at the casserole of [Dongpo pork] and [Dongpo elbow] in front of the stove.
Then I heard Zhao Jinmai's laughter from behind: "Brother Yi, look who's back?"
Li Yi looked back, and saw Liu Yifei sitting in a wheelchair, smiling sweetly.
After being slightly taken aback, Li Yi smiled.
Walking up, he looked at her and asked, "Is the injury serious? What did the doctor say?"
"Just a soft tissue contusion."
Liu Yifei briefly explained the doctor's diagnosis.
"almost."
The diagnosis result was similar to Li Yi's visual inspection in the morning. He nodded and asked with a smile, "Why don't you rest in the hotel?"
"The hotel is too boring. Seeing how busy you are in the restaurant, I want to help too!"
Liu Yifei looked at Hu Ling who was at the side, and said with a smile, "I want to meet Auntie too!"
"This is my mother."
Zhao Jinmai introduced to her: "This is my younger brother, Chen Chen."
"Hello, Auntie."
Liu Yifei smiled and greeted Hu Ling: "You are younger than you look in the video."
"Haha! No way."
Hu Ling smiled happily, and then looked at her and sighed: "Why do you look so good-looking? You are so beautiful!"
When Chen Chen came in from Liu Yifei, he kept staring at her in a daze.
Seeing Liu Yifei chatting with Hu Ling, he pulled Zhao Jinmai beside him.
Zhao Jinmai leaned down in doubt, and Chen Chen leaned into her ear and whispered something.
Zhao Jinmai was immediately amused when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hearing her laughter, everyone looked at her.
Zhao Jinmai pressed Chenchen's shoulder, suppressed a smile and said to Liu Yifei: "My brother asked if you were a princess? He thought you were as beautiful as the princess in the fairy tale book."
Hu Ling heard the words from the side, and was amused first, and joked with a smile: "Oh my! When did you talk so well?"
Chen Chen was a little embarrassed, and hid behind Zhao Jinmai, but couldn't help peeking at Liu Yifei from between Zhao Jinmai's arms.
Liu Yifei smiled and squeezed his hands at him, and he immediately covered his face in embarrassment, lying behind Zhao Jinmai, not daring to look any more.
"So cute."
Liu Yifei praised with a smile, looked at Li Yi, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Li Yi waved his hand: "The wounded don't need to work, you can rest!"
"I hurt my feet, not my hands."
Liu Yifei didn't take it seriously: "I can't stay idle for a week, can I?"
Li Yi thought for a while, and brought a small pot and a plate of eggs: "Then you can spread the egg skins here."
