Chapter 150 Lard and Lard Residues
The next morning, Gao Dian went to the vegetable market to buy the filling ingredients of Lily Jesus, and bought a large piece of pork oil, preparing to come back to make lard.
His family didn't have much lard in stock, and after he made it yesterday, he basically finished it.
Pork steak butter is not cheap, Gao Dian only sold ten kilograms, so he dare not sell it too much. The only good thing is that Gao Dian came early, and this pig is not long ago, and pork steak butter is also considered fresh.
After buying the ingredients, Gao Dian returned home. Wenjing and Gao Ran got up and packed up and prepared to go to work.
"Brother, what are you selling?" Gao Ran asked.
"Pig roe, can't you tell?" Gao Ran asked.
"Uh... it would be strange if I could tell you this stuff." Gao Ran rolled her eyes.
"Brother Gao Dian, do you want to boil lard?" Wen Jing asked at this time.
"Yes, I'm going to boil some lard," said Gao Dian.
"The lard residue is delicious. I remember when I was a child, the lard residue would be distributed by us children." Wen Jing said.
"Indeed, the lard residue from my childhood was quite delicious," said Gao Dian.
Wenjing smiled and turned around to clean up. After a while, Wenjing packed up and said to Gao Dian: "Brother Gao Dian, I'll leave first."
"Yes, OK." Gao Dian replied in the kitchen.
Soon, he was the only one left in the room, and both of them went to work.
Gao Dian cut pork butter in the kitchen.
There is a layer of film on the outside of this pork roe, which feels softer than fat meat. It is full of oil, and its oil content is higher than fat meat and has a higher oil yield.
In addition to pork plaster, there is also an oil similar to a mesh structure on pigs, called pig net oil.
The oil produced by the two will have subtle differences in taste. It is said that pig net oil will taste better.
Of course, with Gaodian's own taste, you cannot taste the difference between the two.
Pork steak oil is generally the most cost-effective, has a high oil yield and the most affordable price. Perhaps because of the rising prices now, Gao Dian remembers that when he was a child, a pound of pork steak oil was only four or five yuan.
When boiling lard, you need to cut the pork oil into small pieces or into strips.
After cutting, Gao Dian puts a layer of oil on his hands.
There is no need to add oil to boil lard, just add some water to the pot.
Boil it on medium heat, wait for the water to dry, and then the oil starts to come out.
The reason for adding water is to make the lard whiter, and to prevent the pot from being pasted.
In the case of no oil or water, adding pork butter will easily cause sticking or pasting the pot.
As time passed, the water in the pot was completely dried, and part of the oil had come out, like water, and the pork oil was rumbling in the pot.
Gaodian needs to keep turning over to ensure that the pot is not covered, and also allow every piece of pork butter to be fully replenished.
The oil in the pot was getting more and more, and the body of the pork roe became thinner and thinner. Just now, a fat man with a greasy face was now becoming pale and thinner.
Soon, the pot turned into a pot of lard and some floating golden oil residue.
These oil residues are the parts on the pork oil that are not grease, because most of the oil has been boiled out, and the remaining parts that are not grease are also curled up into a ball, forming oil residue.
Gaodian used a colander to remove the oil residue and put it aside to cool it down. The oil in the pot was scooped out with a spoon and placed in the jar prepared in advance by Gaodian.
Ten kilograms of pork butter are still quite a lot, and I can’t finish one pot, so Gao Dian continues to boil the second pot.
After all the oil was boiled, Gao Dian looked at the oil residue and picked up one and put it in his mouth, which was crispy.
It just doesn't taste much.
Suddenly, Gao Dian seemed to have thought of something and hurried downstairs.
After a while, he came back with a pack of things in his hand and took out the things in the bag one by one in the kitchen.
It is chili noodles, cumin powder, pepper powder, etc. Gaodian sprinkles these seasonings on the frying. After trying one, the taste immediately came out.
The spicy and salty oil residue, combined with the crispy texture, will burst out with the aroma of lard every bite, and the taste of lard suddenly fills the mouth.
Gao Dian vaguely remembered that when his mother was boiling lard when she was a child, he would always stay by the stove and watch his mother boiling lard.
The golden lard residue in the pot is his goal.
The lard residue that had just been boiled was hot, but he couldn't wait to pick up one and put it in his mouth. He often grinned his teeth and did not spit it out.
At this time, my mother would always scold her, but she would not really stop her. She just told her to let the colder before eating.
When the lard residue is the best, it is when it is just out of the pot. The lard residue is fragrant and oily but not greasy. Just add a little salt to it, and it is a delicious dish.
Unfortunately, I can’t eat a few, so I feel so tired after eating too much, but I won’t feel tired when I eat it.
Recalling these, Gao Dian suddenly felt that he hadn't been at home for a long time.
It has been a long time since my parents last visited me, and he has not returned for more than half a year.
When the competition is over, it will be almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's go back then.
Gao Dian thought to himself.
After eating some lard residue, the taste he made is much richer than when he was a child, but he always feels that it is not as good as the taste he had when he was a child in memory.
Put the remaining lard residue into the bag and seal it so that the moisture in the air will not become soft.
The lard is still hot now and is not suitable for kneading the noodles. Gao Dian cleaned up the kitchen and went back to the room.
He felt that he had to watch the video and think about it.
I watched it again this time, and it felt different from yesterday. After I made it myself and watched the video today, I felt like I suddenly realized it in many places.
Time passed slowly, and it was noon soon, and Gao Dian was a little hungry.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he touched the jar containing lard. It was still a little warm outside, but it was no longer as hot as before.
The lard has not solidified yet, because the residual heat is still there, but it is barely enough to use it to mix the noodles.
Gao Dian was not in a hurry to practice lily Jesus, so he cooked himself a bowl of noodles.
Although he likes to eat beef noodles, the beef is too expensive, and it costs fifty or sixty per catty, which he really can't afford.
Moreover, it is best to choose fresh beef for beef noodles. If frozen beef is used, the taste will be much worse.
This is the result of many experiments by Gaodian.
The clear water noodles are also delicious. After cooking, add a spoonful of chili oil, add a little soy sauce, and add a spoonful of lard boiled in the morning.
The noodles are smooth and full of oily fragrance.
In the past, Gao Dian’s mother cooked noodles with clean water. Ordinary people did not have so many bone soups, and they basically cooked noodles with clean water.
However, the noodles boiled with water and a spoonful of lard will immediately smell fragrant.
After eating the noodles, Gaodian also started making lily Jesus for the second time.
