Chapter 768 After working hard all day and night, I finally made the golden soup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall! [Please subscribe]

"Xubao, does Buddha really need eighteen kinds of ingredients to jump over the wall?"

During lunch, Shen Jiayue curiously asked this question. The information she checked online said that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall implies the Eighteen Arhats, so eighteen kinds of ingredients must be used to make it.

Lin Xu ate the fried noodles made by Wei Gan with garlic cloves:

"Nothing, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was originally called Fu Shou Quan. In Fuzhou dialect, it sounds a bit like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The meaning is very good, so it has been followed. It has nothing to do with the Eighteen Arhats, and there is no need to emphasize the eighteen ingredients. Basically Whatever’s on it is useful.”

It is just a dish, but Chinese people always like to add some explanations about whether it is present or not.

If you can flatter the gods, favor the gods; if you don’t have the immortals, favor the emperor; and if you can, favor the historical celebrities. Anyway, as long as you can add points to the dishes, it doesn’t matter what you get.

Domestic Buddhism abstains from eating meat and killing animals. If you make a pure meat dish and say it implies the Eighteen Arhats, isn't this a clear attempt to provoke Buddhism?

It's a good thing that Gautama Buddha won't show his spiritual power, otherwise he would definitely give a big blow to people who blindly try to gain popularity.

Shen Jiayue did not eat fried noodles, but cooked some swallow silk by herself.

She likes this kind of shredded pork that can be eaten as noodles by blanching it. If the preparation wasn't too complicated, she would even want to eat it every day.

"What are you doing in the afternoon, Xu Bao?"

"Continue to stay in the small kitchen and change the water for the dried food. It's hot to avoid going rancid."

These things may seem simple, but you should not be careless when doing them.

For example, sea cucumbers should not be exposed to any oil during the cooking process, otherwise they will start to rot. In order to prevent the oil from the warm-fried tendons, fish maw and other ingredients from staining the sea cucumbers, you need to change the water of the sea cucumbers first, and then get started. Other ingredients.

In addition, I have to prepare some minced chicken in the afternoon to add to the cooked milk soup.

After cleaning the soup, you have to add the prepared ingredients to make the soup a second time.

It's a lot of trouble, but it's all worth it for the delicious taste.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after dinner, Lin Xu opened the jar with lotus leaves covering the mouth, put a long-handled spoon in and stirred it several times.

This is done to allow the collagen and nutrients in the meat to be completely integrated into the soup.

"Wow, this soup is so thick and white."

Shen Jiayue took a look at the side and found that the soup inside was thick and very white, like milk.

I thought the soup was ready, but I didn't expect that after Lin Xu finished stirring, he turned up the heat again and let the thick soup in the jar boil again.

After boiling like this for about ten minutes, seal the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves, turn down the heat slightly, and continue cooking.

"Isn't it over?"

"Bake for another hour and then clean up the soup. I will probably get off work later today. If you are tired, you can take Dundun back in advance. I will be at least nine o'clock."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she felt that instead of waiting here, she might as well take Dundun back to play games.

Thinking of this, she said:

"Then let's go back first... It just so happens that Yanbao won't be home tonight, how about I let her stay at our house?"

"Okay, just look at the arrangements."

Shen Jiayue went out in a hurry. After discussing with Chen Yan, she prepared to leave work early.

In the small kitchen, Lin Xu began to prepare meat paste.

This kind of clear soup needs to be swept at least four times to achieve the effect of clear soup color, and the four times of sweeping the soup requires a lot of minced chicken, conservatively estimated to be more than half a basin.

He used onion and ginger water to beat the pieces of chicken breast into mincemeat. During this process, he also cleaned off the fascia wrapped around the knife head many times.

When the minced meat was ready, I found a large pot suitable for sweeping the soup, and put gauze on the large colander to make a strainer that one person could use to scoop out the minced meat.

Everything is ready, time has almost passed, let’s get started!

He called Wei Gan, and together they poured all the soup and minced meat in the jar into the prepared large pot.

"Holy shit, this milk soup looks so comfortable."

Wei Gan sighed in admiration, feeling that it would be a waste to make such a good milk soup into clear soup.

However, considering that this kind of dish is inherently wasteful and cumbersome, it is normal to add some fiddling with it, because the more it is like this, the more it highlights its value.

After pouring out all the soup, Lin Xu first used a slotted spoon to take out all the minced meat and bones.

When fishing, you must first control the soup above and then pour it into the basin. These milk soups are hard-won. The entire Buddha Jumps over the Wall depends on these soups, so you must cherish them.

Salvage the residue, bring a bucket, cover it with multiple layers of gauze, scoop the soup in the pot and filter it, the gauze will soon be covered with residue and minced meat.

After filtering this time, wash the pot and pour the soup in the bucket back into the pot.

Filter when pouring.

After finishing all this work, the temperature of the soup had also dropped. Lin Xu scooped the minced chicken into the pot and began to sweep the soup.

When the soup needs to reach 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, add minced chicken meat and slowly heat it to 90 degrees Celsius. After the minced meat has absorbed the free protein in the soup, a thick layer of foam will form on the surface of the soup.

As long as you fish out these bubbles, you will be successful in clearing the soup.

Lin Xu made it over and over again. After the fourth time, the soup had turned into a light brown color. It looked slightly yellow in the pot, but it was crystal clear and even the bottom of the pot could be seen clearly.< /p>

At this point, the soup cleaning is officially over.

Wei Qian, who was holding hands on the side, looked at the soup and said with a smile:

"If Chef Dai were here, he would definitely trick you into making boiled cabbage or chickpea pudding."

To tell the truth, it feels a bit like a waste of money to make such a good clear soup and deliberately cook it until it becomes muddy later.

But this is how delicious food comes. Without these repeated steps, the taste of the soup will not be perfect, and this Buddha Jumping Over the Wall will not become the ceiling of Chinese food.

Lin Xu put the blanched ham, pork belly and other ingredients into the jar, added a small basket of chopped tendons, and finally poured in a pound and a half of rice wine.

Stir evenly, use a lighter to light it at the mouth of the altar, and the blue flame will burn instantly.

No matter what kind of dish, as long as rice wine or cooking wine is added, the alcohol should be allowed to evaporate before covering the pot, otherwise the dish will easily have a sour taste.

Especially dishes with soup will be more obvious.

After the alcohol at the mouth of the jar had burned off, Lin Xu turned on high heat and boiled the broth in the jar. After boiling for a few minutes, he covered it with new lotus leaves, twice.

Once you're covered, turn the heat on the stove to the minimum and you can cook it slowly.

It was already nine ten in the evening. Although there were still customers in the store, the fire in the back kitchen had been sealed and the chefs were packing away the cooking utensils and cleaning.

Lin Xu wiped his hands and said to Wei Qian:

"Arrange someone to keep watch here at night to avoid any accidents. If the fire goes out and is re-ignited, turn the heat to a minimum."

After saying that, he changed the water for the various dry products that were soaked in hair, and then took the car keys and went back from get off work.

At this moment, Dundun was doing a live broadcast on the small pool table in the living room. She didn't know what she was talking to the fans, and she kept meowing.

Chen Yan sat in front of the piano and played some simple songs seriously, such as "Autumn Whispers", "Childhood Memories", "Dream Wedding" and other piano songs, occasionally interspersed with some popular songs from earlier years. , such as "First Time", "Fairy Tale" and other songs that are suitable for playing, which were also the songs she often practiced when she was learning piano.

The sweet piano music seemed to be accompaniment for Dundun. The little guy liked his aunt's cooperation very much and even forgave her for her rude behavior in the past.

In the kitchen, Shen Jiayue is making potato chips and other snacks in the air fryer.

By the way, I also grilled some chicken breasts for Dundun. Before grilling, I mixed the meat with raw salted duck egg yolk and egg yolk to serve as a preliminary marinade.

The whole house is filled with the aroma of barbecue, accompanied by piano music and loud shouts, which makes people feel inexplicably peaceful.

Lin Xu put the car in the parking lot and did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he strolled to buy some premium-grade Meizao cherries and several other fruits.

When I met familiar neighbors and community security guards, I took the initiative to say hello to them.

I took the elevator upstairs and walked into my home. I noticed that my sister-in-law was playing the piano and Dundun was broadcasting live. Without saying anything, I carried the fruit to the kitchen and whispered to give directions to the delicacies that Shen Jiayue was baking.

After finishing all this work, he put on his slippers, washed his hands carefully, and carried the roasted chicken breast to the small billiard table where Dundun was live broadcasting. He smiled and said hello to the netizens in the live broadcast room, and then put the plate down.

Placed in front of Dundun:

"Are you tired? Eat something first and start broadcasting to your villagers later."

Dundun called out and started eating midnight snack.

Lin Xu did not disturb it, but returned to the kitchen and continued making snacks with Shen Jiayue.

When they were almost done, Chen Yan also stopped playing the piano. The three of them sat in the living room, turned on the TV, and chatted quietly while watching TV.

"Xubao, can the Buddha jump over the wall tomorrow?"

"No, we can only make the golden soup tomorrow. Our parents will be here the day after tomorrow."

What we need to do tomorrow is to prepare the golden soup, and then preprocess all the ingredients. Some need to be steamed, some need to be boiled, and some need to be stewed with other side dishes.

There are many ways to do it, and Lin Xu needs to do it step by step.

Wait until the day after tomorrow, when all the ingredients are properly processed. At that time, take a jar, put the ingredients layer by layer into the jar, pour the prepared golden soup into it, seal it with dried lotus leaves and simmer over low heat for a few hours to let the various ingredients

While maintaining the original flavor, it can also absorb the flavors of other ingredients.

When everything is simmered, you can put it into a basin or a cup according to different ways of eating.

Putting it into a basin refers to serving dishes in a basin. The arrangement is more particular. The top is usually a circle of pigeon eggs that have been simmered for several hours. They are not only beautiful and beautiful, but also delicious.

When it comes to the dishes, they are served for one person, each person has a small cup, so the dishes look more exquisite and there is no rush to pick up the dishes from the basin.
