The page with Pot Roasted Elbow also flipped over.
Shen Guofu saw that the storm had passed and, delighted, peeled a candied chestnut and popped it into his mouth, then pushed the rest aside:
"No more, no more, who eats chestnuts when there’s an elbow? You guys should eat less too."
In the kitchen.
Lin Xu watched as the elbow in the oil pan gradually colored, and the batter was shaping up. Using a slotted spoon, he carefully flipped the elbow over and used a fine sh to carefully fish out the bits of batter scattered in the pan.
When making battered dishes, any spilled batter or breadcrumbs should be removed in ti; otherwise, they’ll burn and taint the whole pot of oil.
The oil pan used today was relatively large, so Lin Xu fried four elbows at once.
Once the batter outside had set, he adjusted the fla to lower the oil temperature, allowing the elbow to fry thoroughly fragrant and crispy.
A few minutes later, he raised the oil temperature again to fry out the excess oil.
When the elbow was wrapped in golden batter, he scooped it out with a slotted spoon and set it aside to drain the oil.
In the anti, he put the remaining four batter-coated elbows into the pan.
After placing them in, Lin Xu placed the drained elbow on the cutting board for cooked food and began to cut it.
He first cut the elbow into strips approximately seven or eight centiters wide.
Instead of chopping, he placed the knife and used the other hand to tap the back of it. This way, the batter wouldn’t fall apart.
If you just chopped it haphazardly, the batter might all fall apart.
As soon as he cut it open, the aroma of the elbow spread.
The fragrance attracted several chefs around.
Lin Xu looked at Ma Zhiqiang and asked:
"Is the Lotus Leaf Cake ready?"
"It’s ready, freshly stead from the pastry departnt... sliced scallions, spiced salt, and sweet bean sauce are also all prepared, now just waiting for the elbow at."
Pickled Pork paired with Lotus Leaf Cake sold well in the store. Every morning and afternoon, the pastry departnt stead so Lotus Leaf Cakes, and once they heard it was for dinner, Niu Chuan imdiately sent over a basket.
As for the sweet bean sauce, it was stead with seasonings like sesa oil and sugar.
If eaten directly, sweet bean sauce would have a raw sauce taste.
But after steaming, only a rich sauce aroma remained.
Seeing all the ingredients ready, Lin Xu cut the wide strips of elbow at into thick slices.
He used the knife to place them neatly on a twelve-inch plate.
One elbow just filled a plate.
When he brought it out, a group of people were imdiately attracted by the aroma and appearance.
"It slls so good."
"This golden-yellow looks delicious."
"Don’t just look, quickly eat, Pot Roasted Elbow should be eaten hot."
Lin Xu urged with a smile, then picked up a Lotus Leaf Cake, spread a bit of sweet bean sauce inside, tucked in two slices of elbow at, and added a few slices of scallion.
He took a bite of the Lotus Leaf Cake.
The softness of the Lotus Leaf Cake, the crispy batter, the tender elbow, the crunchy scallions, and the fragrant sweet bean sauce all blended together.
"So delicious, crispy and tasty!"
"Especially the elbow skin, fried to a crisp and tender inside."
"It’s tasty with spiced salt too, truly delicious."
"Eating like this is even more satisfying than roast duck."
The just-ntioned trying two bites was just fine for Shen Guofu, who first picked up a piece of elbow at, dipped it in spiced salt, and took a bite. The fragrant, crispy taste made him feel that even if his wife scolded him, it would be worth it, even a beating.
After eating the one with spiced salt, he used the Lotus Leaf Cake with sweet bean sauce to wrap it and eat, and it still tasted great.
He said while eating:
"A few years ago, I traveled to Mount Tai and tasted the Pot Roasted Elbow there, found it super tasty, never expected that Xiao Xu’s would taste even better, absolutely delicious!"
Cui Qingyuan also put down his teacher’s facade, eating heartily:
"This fragrant, crispy texture is simply delicious, crunk-crunch, it makes you feel delighted... Lele, don’t grab, it’s impolite."
Geng Lele shook her mushroom head:
"When the granary is full, one knows etiquette... I’m not full yet, isn’t it normal not to be polite?"
Zeng Xiaoqi initially wanted Lin Xu to give a demonstration on TV, but thinking it would take several hours, she didn’t ntion it. For the TV station, it’s better to do sothing simple.
Just as she kept silent, who knew Lin Xu would bring it up first:
"Xiaoqi, maybe you could plan with Mr. Lishan. When it gets to the twelfth month, Shii Renjian could start doing a New Year’s Eve nu series. Then this Pot Roasted Elbow can be made for everyone to learn."
In recent years, with life becoming more prosperous, more and more people choose to eat New Year’s Eve dinner at restaurants.
While this saves ti and effort, it always feels like sothing’s missing.
In comparison, a big family making New Year’s Eve dinner still feels right; this lively atmosphere is the true aning of the New Year.
Zeng Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up:
"Good idea, starting from the first day of the twelfth month, up to New Year’s Eve is just about thirty dishes; this big table of dishes will surely be grand!"
Thinking about such a big table of food, she found herself craving.
The only downside is not being able to lose weight, and perhaps being teased when she goes back to her hotown for New Year for having gained weight...
Zeng Xiaoqi, you definitely need to control your diet and exercise, maintain your figure, and don’t let yourself go!
While thinking, Chen Yan nudged her with her elbow:
"What’s up, Director Zeng? Not eating? Sneaked so snacks this afternoon? This lack of fighting spirit isn’t like you."
