Chapter 242 Dried Plum Vegetables (2)
Mrs. Sun knew that this little girl had a quirky personality, and she had nothing to say about her cooking skills, so she didn't be too stubborn. She really took her daughter-in-law and sat in the main room to warm up with peace of mind. drink tea.

After dismissing her grandma, Lin Xiaoqiao was busy in the kitchen. This time, except for her elder sister Lin Xiaoxi to help her sit in front of the stove and light the fire, she did all the other things by herself.

After scouring and steaming the rice, Lin Xiaoqiao began to prepare the classic and delicious dish 'Meicai Braised Pork'.

She took a piece of gauze, wrapped the cleaned prunes, squeezed out the water vigorously, then stepped on a small bench, stood in front of the pot, poured a little oil into the pot, and waited for the oil to heat up. , Then add the dried prunes and stir-fry.

When frying, add water, add soy sauce, add sugar, this series of actions, Lin Xiaoqiao is quite skillful and focused.

After the dried plums were stir-fried, she took out a large pot and put them out, keeping them for later use.

Then wash the pork belly, cut it into large pieces, put it into the oil pan and fry it until the surface is golden brown, and take it out when the skin is wrinkled.

Lin Xiaoqiao remembers that there is a very important process here, which is to soak the fried pork belly in cold water immediately, because this will make the meat soft and easy to slice.

Lin Xiaoqiao is small and her hands are small, so she can't hold the knife very securely, so her knife skills are not very good, but because it is the first time to make this dish for everyone to taste, Lin Xiaoqiao still works hard to hold the knife. The meat slices are cut flat and beautiful, and the meat slices should be cut as thin as possible, and the meat should not fall apart.

Therefore, it took her a lot of effort to cut the meat. After all the meat slices were cut, she took a large pot and placed the meat slices neatly on the bottom of the pot. Cover the top of the meat slices, and press it a little so that it is flush with the mouth of the bowl.

Lin Xiaoqiao carefully put the big pot containing dried plums and sliced ​​meat into the pot, and then asked his sister to heat it up and steam it.

During this steaming process, the soup of dried plums will soak into the meat slices with the steam, so it needs to be steamed for a long time, preferably for more than half an hour. The longer the steaming time, the better the meat quality. Added crispy.

The weather at the end of November is already relatively cold. Although it is in the kitchen, it is still a bit cold, so after Lin Xiaoqiao finished all this work, he sat next to his sister Lin Xiaoxi, and the two sisters lit a fire in front of the stove to keep warm , Waiting for this dish to be steamed and out of the pan.

And Sun Shi and Wu Qiao'er sat in the house warming the fire, and they were also very comfortable. Sun Shi seemed very calm and at ease about her little granddaughter's tossing.

On the other hand, Wu Qiaoer, she didn't know Lin Xiaoqiao very well, and she never knew about Lin Xiaoqiao's cooking skills, so she seemed a little worried, especially after half an hour had passed, but she hadn't heard anything yet. movement.

She couldn't sit still anymore, and tentatively said to Sun: "Mother, why don't we go and help, aren't the two little girls messing around?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun looked calm and relaxed, and said to her daughter-in-law: "No need, the two girls can do it."

After Wu Qiaoer heard this, she still didn't believe it: "How old are the two girls, can they make a meal for us to eat? Mother, sit down, I'd better go and see if there is any food. There's nothing I can do to help." As he spoke, he wanted to get up.

Mrs. Sun grabbed her and said, "You just sit here with peace of mind, girl Xiaoqiao can do it, don't look at her young age, it's easy to make a meal out of this. Since she If you don't let us in, let's not go in, or if you go, she still thinks you're making trouble for her."

Wu Qiao'er had no choice but to sit down, she thought that since her mother-in-law said so, she could only let the two girls toss, and it would not be too late for her to cook after the two girls finished tossing.

After more than half an hour, Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the vegetables in the pot and thought that the heat should be almost ready, so he brought them out.

At this time, the kitchen was filled with a scent, Lin Xiaoqiao forced out the soup in the basin, then put the big basin upside down on a large plate, and removed the big basin on top.

Finally, pour the soup just poured out into the pot and boil, add the adjusted wet potato flour to thicken it, and pour it on the meat.

Lin Xiaoqiao was holding this plate of delicious dishes, looking at it, she had the urge to put down her chopsticks immediately, so she quickly put out the steamed rice, and the two sisters brought the rice and this dish of "Meicaikou" Meat', came to the main room to greet grandma Sun and little aunt, and hurried to eat.

Mrs. Sun sat and waited for more than half an hour, and finally waited until the little girl's dishes came out of the pan. Looking at the dish on the table, which was so red and oily in color, she could tell before she tasted it that what her granddaughter had tossed this time was again Such a good thing.

Wu Qiaoer didn't expect that the dish made by the two little girls looked pretty good, and smelled strange, so she couldn't wait to pick some of it with her chopsticks and taste it.

The braised meat on the top is oily in color, rich in aroma, fat but not greasy, and tastes soft and mellow. The plum vegetables below are also fragrant, salty, fresh and slightly sweet, especially delicious.

"This dish is really delicious, especially the meat, why is it so crispy and rotten? I didn't like to eat fatty meat before, but looking at the color of this meat, I have a desire to eat it." Wu Qiaoer said nothing Rice, said after swallowing.

Before she said this, several members of the Sun family had tasted it one after another, and everyone felt that this dish, whether it was the color or aroma, was worth talking about and worthy of praise.

With this delicious plate of 'Meicai Pork', everyone ate deliciously. Finally, Lin Xiaoqiao poured some soup on top of the rice. The soup was thick and delicious, and mixed with the rice. Mixing and eating is also another kind of delicacy.

Although there was only one dish for dinner, everyone didn't feel monotonous. Instead, they had a big appetite and everyone ate more rice than usual.

After they were full, the two sisters, Lin Xiaoqiao, rubbed their stomachs and leaned on the back of the chair, looking like they were full.

Wu Qiaoer cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, looked at the appearance of the two girls, and said with a smile: "Don't say that the two girls are full, I almost ate all of them today, and I can't move. What is this dish?" Meat', the taste is really good, especially the special rice."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao smiled triumphantly and said, "It's not bad. We worked hard for a few months, and this is the result. I was the first to make it for you to taste, even my father Niang hasn't eaten yet."
