MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 341 crystal elbow

  Chapter 341 Crystal Elbow

  Froth is the fat and impurities left on the pigskin, and they are also the main substances that make the soup cloudy.

  After cooking for a few minutes, Li Yi poured out the pigskin, boiled a pot of water again, and rinsed off the remaining foam on the pigskin.

   This is not over yet, he put the pigskin into the basin again, added some flour, and kneaded vigorously.

  After scrubbing for a minute, he rinsed it with clean water, and the rinsed water became cloudy again because of the flour.

   After rinsing off the flour, he added some salt to the pork skin and kneaded it for another minute.

  Rinse again, the water washed down this time is only slightly whitish, almost transparent.

  Following that, Li Yi rinsed it three more times, and didn't stop until the rinse water was clear without any color.

  Filled out the pigskin, put it on the grate to filter the water, Li Yi picked up a piece of pigskin.

  The cooked shredded pork skin is translucent, like a rubber band, flexible, clean and translucent.

  Wu Lei leaned over, looked at the pigskin shreds in Li Yi's hands, and couldn't help sighing: "Isn't this too clean?"

  Wen Song and the others watched Li Yi wash it again and again, and finally washed the pigskin like this.

  Looking at the pigskin in Li Yi's hands, Wen Song also felt sincerely: "Oh, it's the first time I've seen someone wash the pigskin so clean."

Looking curious, Tang Jianjun also picked up one, sized it up, put it up to his nose and smelled it, and then asked Li Yi: "Gada uses flour and salt when washing sewage, and you also use it to wash pigskin." Where's the flour and salt?"

  Li Yi laughed and said, "I want to make the soup clear, of course I have to wash it clean."

   "It's pretty clean."

Tang Jianjun stuffed the pigskin into his mouth, chewed it loudly, and asked curiously: "These two things are really clean after washing the oil. When I wash the range hood at home, I wash it with flour and salt. The oil removal effect is very good. It's really good, why is that?"

  When everyone on the side heard what he said, they also looked at Li Yi curiously.

  Seeing this, Li Yi explained casually: "When the protein in the flour meets water, it will form gluten, that is, gluten particles.

  Gluten can wrap larger particles of oil and impurities, and can wash away the dirt on the surface of many ingredients.

  Salt can react with oil to form a hydrophilic solution, and the oil removal effect is better.

  But the best effect is baking soda, but baking soda will leave an alkaline taste, so I don't use it. I still use flour and salt to wash, and the effect is also good. "

   "Oh, it's such a rationale!"

  Wang Xiaoli said with a smile: "Then if you mix these two things for a while, you should be able to wash your face too? Anyway, it's all about removing oil, my oily skin."

"You can try."

  Tang Jianjun joked on the side: "But I think it's better not to use fine salt, try coarse salt, maybe you can train a golden bell-covered iron cloth shirt! Haha!"

  Listening to their chatter and jokes, Li Yi had already fished out the cooked elbow meat, sliced ​​it into thin slices, and put it into two large rectangular glass bowls.

  These two bowls can be used as molds to shape the crystal elbows.

  Afterwards, he put the cleaned pigskin on the elbow meat, boiled a pot of boiling water again, and threw a handful of Chinese prickly ash into the water.

The water before    is all for cleaning impurities.

  This pot of water is the real raw material for making crystal elbows.

   While the water was boiling, he cut some onion and **** slices and put them on the pig skin.

  When the water in the pot boiled and the smell of pepper was gone, he took out all the peppercorns in the pot with a colander.

  Take out the peppercorns and season them.

  Crystal elbows are heavier than ordinary cooking salt, and generally double the amount of salt.

   And even if you put twice the salt, it won't taste salty.

  Therefore, Li Yi added three tablespoons of salt to the pot, and another spoonful of rice wine, stirred evenly, and the soup was ready.

   Scooping the soup with a frying spoon, he poured the soup into a glass bowl, covering the pork skin.

  Following that, he put the glass bowl into the steamer and started to steam it.

  It was getting late, in order to increase efficiency, Li Yi set the pressure on the steam box, shortening the steaming time to 30 minutes.

   After 30 minutes passed, Li Yi took out the glass bowl and dipped his index finger in some soup.

  The soup is clear, no different from when it was put in the steamer just now.

   But Li Yi tried to pinch the pads of his thumb and index finger, but the soup glued the pads of the **** together, and it took a little effort to open them.

   This shows that the gum in the pigskin has been steamed out.

  The gelatin is steamed out, and once cooled, the soup will solidify, like jelly, and become solid.

  That state is the finished crystal elbow.

   Wait for it to cool down for at least an hour or two.

  It was already late at night, Li Yi asked Wu Lei to help bring two large bowls of crystal elbows into the acid discharge room.

   There is an air conditioner circulating cold air in the acid discharge room, which can quickly reduce the temperature to between 0-4°C.

  When they come over tomorrow morning, the crystal elbow will be ready for use.

  After putting away the crystal elbow, Li Yi returned to the back kitchen.

  The pig's heads in the two big soup buckets have also been cooked.

   But this is only a semi-finished product. If you want to make [Grilled Whole Pig Head], you need to simmer it in thick soup sauce for at least three hours.

  So, Li Yi took out the pig's head, cleaned it, and sent it to the acid discharge room.

   After putting away the ingredients and coming out, Li Yi led the crowd to clean up the place briefly.

   Except for things that must be cleaned up, such as oil, pots, knives, ingredients, etc., other tableware, seasonings and other bottles and jars, Li Yi didn't ask everyone to clean up.

   This is to save time.

  These things still need to be taken out tomorrow morning, so there is no need to put them all back where they were.

   After closing the door and returning to the hotel, Li Yi and his party sat in the car, feeling a little tired.

  I did physical work all day today, and after dinner in the evening, I continued to work until late at night. Everyone was exhausted.

  Li Yi felt fine. With the blessing of the mysterious power of the dream space, his physical strength recovered quickly.

  After returning to the hotel, everyone went back to the room to rest.

  But Li Yi was not in a hurry to go back, but first communicated with the staff of the program team and held a small meeting.

  Tonight, the staff of the program team are destined to stay up all night.

  They have to meet the elderly who fly from all over the country, and they are responsible for picking up the plane, arranging accommodation and rest.

  Tomorrow morning, they will also be responsible for organizing the old people to have breakfast, gather, go to the Forbidden City, handle tickets and various procedures.

  So, after the filming ended, their work became even busier.

   After confirming the number of elderly people who will come to participate in the program tomorrow, Li Yi went back to his room to rest.

   He can't help much with these behind-the-scenes work.

   Besides, for tomorrow's banquet, he will be the main chef, so he has to keep up his energy.

  Backing back to the room, there was no dream all night. When Li Yi opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
