Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 347 - 348: Crispy Outside, Tender Inside—Spicy Pan-Seared Lamb Chops
The frying pan in front of Wang Fan has a diameter of one meter. Anyway, the space in the RV is large enough, so the size of the kitchenware is quite bold.
He boiled a pot of water, cooked some peas, and immediately plunged them into cold water once they were just tender, then put the peeled potatoes in to cook.
Pour some olive oil into the frying pan, take out the lamb chops with the moisture absorbed, stack four pieces side by side, and place the side with more lamb fat onto the frying pan.
"Sizzle..."
As soon as the lamb touched the frying pan, a delightful sizzling sound was heard.
One piece of lamb chop has more fat on it; if this spot isn’t fried first, it can easily taste greasy when eaten. One shouldn’t be too greasy, and likewise, the lamb chops shouldn’t be.
Four lamb chops per set, the frying pan quickly had ten sets of lamb chops placed on it. Picking up the first set of four lamb chops for a look, the side in contact with the frying pan had turned golden brown, and the oil was still bubbling finely.
Putting them back onto the frying pan, he used tongs to spread the four lamb chops open. A larger contact area means a louder sound, and it also means the aroma will be more intense.
When all ten sets of lamb chops were spread open, the rich aroma of meat and seasonings had nearly filled the RV.
After drying the potatoes from the pot, he placed them onto the frying pan as well, adding a refreshing potato scent to the meat aroma.
Then sprinkled a handful of rosemary and some garlic cloves, and a scent that was utterly irresistible and inescapable enveloped the parking lot.
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned to Wang Fan’s direction again, their noses twitching uncontrollably.
Jiang Shu was originally turning over his lamb rolls in the pan, the tender lamb was all cut from fresh meat, sprinkled with pepper powder and cumin, already quite fragrant. But at that moment, a magical aroma like a wild boar mountain swelled into his nose, overshadowing the scent from his pot.
Swallowing, he craned his neck toward the RV, conflicted about whether to buy some for himself.
It’s not about the money. Honestly, at 68 yuan per serving, it’s not considered expensive in Great Border. Here, prices tend to be higher due to the vastness and inconvenient transport conditions.
He mainly felt that after all his labors, running off to buy someone else’s delicacy seemed like slapping himself right in the face.
Or maybe he’s just going to agonize over it for another five minutes? Jiang Shu was in a dilemma.
But Jiang Xiaoshu didn’t think much of it. He was already tugging at his dad’s clothes saying, "Daddy, I want to eat that made by big brother, it smells so good! Can you go buy me one?"
"Honey, I want to try it too..."
The conflicted Jiang Shu stood up abruptly. His wife and kid both wanted it, what was there to hesitate about?
Taking a trip is all about enjoying oneself, as long as his wife and kid are happy.
Once someone takes the lead in eating crab, the rest will follow suit. As Jiang Shu headed toward Wang Fan, several others stood up successively.
While Wang Fan waited for the lamb chops to fry, he scooped the rendered lamb fat from the frying pan with a spoon. Naturally, the fat wouldn’t go to waste, it’s a top-quality ingredient.
Placing the lamb fat in a small pan aside, heating it with the marinade from earlier, a rich meat aroma wafted from the pot once the heat was turned up.
Jiang Shu couldn’t help but swallow again.
Not only was the meat fragrance tantalizing to the taste buds, but the lamb in the frying pan looked delectable enough to hold one’s gaze.
The overall appearance was similar to tomahawk steak, just a few sizes smaller, looking cute and petite. At this point, the lamb chops were golden brown on both sides, with some spots charred black. However, these dark spots didn’t affect its appeal; on the contrary, they looked even more appetizing.
The tiny oil bubbles churned at the bottom of the pan, the sizzling sound was like magical music to the ears...
"Boss, are these lamb chops ready? I’ll take three servings."
Jiang Shu was eager to investigate the deliciousness of these lamb chops. He had never smelled lamb meat so aromatic before.
Even in Great Border, after visiting several highly popular local restaurants, none captivated him so enrapturingly with mere aroma and appearance.
Wang Fan chuckled and said, "Please wait for 3 minutes."
The sauce in the pot had been bubbling continuously, and the scent of lamb in the frying pan had grown more robust. When three minutes were up, Wang Fan swiftly used tongs to lift out the first batch of lamb chops.
Zhuo Qianqian deftly took up a plate, which contained half a lemon and about twenty bright green peas. Wang Fan stacked the lamb chops beside the peas and lemon one by one and arranged them neatly on the plate.
Cautiously, he added three golden-yellow potato pieces and a few garlic cloves to the lamb, then ladled a spoonful of thick sauce from the pot, drizzling it over the thickest part of the lamb chops.
The mere act of this made those waiting in line swallow again.
Zhuo Qianqian picked up a little rosemary and placed it atop the lamb chops, and a dish with a meticulous presentation, rich aroma, and gorgeous appearance was freshly served.
Jiang Shu licked his lips, promptly scanning to pay 204 yuan.
In his view, looking at this plate of meat, even compared to all the Western restaurants, it seemed formidable, and in those restaurants, considering this plate doesn’t cost you a thousand yuan or so could be considered fortunate.
Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian coordinated excellently, the whole plating process took just thirty seconds. The plates are disposable and environmentally friendly, making it very convenient without needing to be returned.
Holding three plates of meat, Jiang Shu jogged back to his family’s tent, eager to feast.
Luo Ying and Jiang Xiaoshu looked at the lamb chops placed before them, feeling bright-eyed.
The lamb chops indeed lived up to their anticipation, thanks to their high appearance indeed.
They had their own knives and forks. Jiang Shu held a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left, swiftly dividing his lamb chop.
Hiss...
Seeing the separated lamb chop meat, Jiang Shu couldn’t help but take a breath, and drooled profusely.
Perfectly exemplifying crispy outside and tender inside!
At the cut junction, the lamb meat still had a hint of pink, and when pressed with a fork, a crystal-clear juice oozed out, making the whole cut even more enticing.
As a devoted husband, Jiang Shu naturally picked up a piece of lamb chop with a fork and extended it to his wife’s mouth, looking forward to Luo Ying’s reaction.
As a loving wife, Luo Ying, at the same moment, also delivered her first bite of meat to Jiang Shu’s mouth.
The two exchanged smiles, and the sweet flavor blossomed instantaneously.
As for Jiang Xiaoshu, wrapping the lamb chop bone in a napkin, he picked up a piece of lamb chop and gnawed away on his own.
His parents were indeed affectionate; his existence a mere accident. He had long understood this deeply, and if he waited for them to take care of him, he’d probably have starved countless times.
Seeing those who had been watching return with lamb chops, the rest couldn’t hold back. The portion looked fairly generous, and immediately, more headed toward Wang Fan’s RV.
