If ordinary people make bear paws, it can be said that many people don’t know how to start because this ingredient is so rare that it may not be available even in some high-end five-star restaurants. After all, it is illegal to eat it. , even if there are, many of them are substituted with other ingredients, and of course they are not as tasty as real bear paws.
Others can't do it, but Ye Fei definitely knows how to do it. Not only can he do it, but he can also do many tricks, such as braised bear paw, shredded bear paw, first-grade bear paw, tofu bear paw, steamed bear paw, etc., which can be said to be no less than Dozens of ways to do it.
But Ye Fei used none of these methods today. Instead, he used a northern dish. It can be said to be the first dish in northern banquets in ancient times, because in many banquets, this dish was the first dish served. It's called a silver bead in a bear's paw, and in some places it's called a pearl in the palm of your hand!
If strictly classified, Yinzhu Braised Bear Paw belongs to Henan cuisine, and the so-called braised bear paw is a kind of northern cooking method. It is used a lot in Shandong cuisine and a lot in Henan cuisine, and its types are complex and diverse, such as red Grilled chicken, grilled chicken, etc. Each method is unique and the food is very delicious.
The method Ye Fei will use today is grilling, so this silver-bead grilled bear paw is also called grilled vegetables.
No matter what the method is, there are two crucial steps first, which are to remove the fishy smell and remove the hair.
After all, bear paws are covered with bear hair, and whether they are fresh or dried, they have a special fishy smell. Only after this fishy smell is removed, what is left is the ultimate delicious food.
The shedding of feathers on bear paws is different from the shedding of feathers on chickens, ducks and geese. This is definitely a very tedious process, Ye Fei understands.
Everyone saw that Ye Fei first put the bear's paws in a pot of boiling water, then added water and brought it to a boil, then turned to low heat and simmered for a long time before taking out the bear's paws. After changing the water, he put the bear's paws out again. Put the bear's paw in and simmer. After a while, Ye Fei took out the bear's paw and put it in a basin. Then he poured some of the boiling water in the pot into the basin. When the water temperature was not too hot, he started to give two A bear's paw plucks its hair.
There are two types of hair on bear paws, one is thicker and longer, which is easy to pull out, and the other is finer and fluffy, which is a bit difficult to remove.
But if you want to eat this excellent ingredient, you must have enough patience.
Everyone saw that after Ye Fei removed the thick and long hair, he almost pulled out the soft fluff one by one. Each one was pulled out by the root. This is also a trick for dealing with bear paws.
Just like when we eat pig rinds, why do some pig rinds taste smooth and delicious, while others feel like there are stubbles in their mouths when eating them? One is to manually pluck the hair after scalding it with boiling water. This method of plucking is very clean. However, some people want to save trouble and burn it directly with fire. The outer hair is burned away, and the roots of the hair are all inside the skin. It would be strange if you don't feel sick after taking one bite.
Ye Fei finally removed the hair from the two bears' paws, and removed the soft hard skin on the bottom of their paws. Then he also removed the nails from the bear's paws. These were all useless.
The processed bear paws are white and tender, just like two fat men.
Put them together in a bowl, put the green onions and ginger slices in, pour the cooking wine and peppercorns to soak for a while, then take a steamer from the side and start steaming.
"Ye Shen, can you eat this once it's steamed?" Ling Lingjiu said excitedly.
In his opinion, many delicacies are OK once they are steamed and can be eaten directly.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fei shook his head with a smile and said: "It's still early, it's just the beginning. The steamed bear paws can only be regarded as half-cooked ingredients. We have to continue with the next steps."
"Khan, is it so complicated?"
“Good ingredients are inherently complicated to process, otherwise they are spoiled.”
Bear paws are steaming here, and Ye Fei starts to process other ingredients.
Ye Fei also succumbed to this gang of gangsters. It is estimated that some of them would be able to cook this dish of bear paws with silver beads, because the ingredients were so complete.
Ham, scallops, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, quail eggs, chicken legs, etc., you name it.
He took all these ingredients, soaked all the scallops, shiitake mushrooms and dried winter bamboo shoots, sliced the dried winter bamboo shoots, then peeled off the ribs of the scallops and put them in a bowl, added onion, ginger, cooking wine and clear soup, and marinated them aside.
Boil the quail eggs, remove the shells and set aside.
The ham was cut into slices, and the chicken legs were briefly processed. They were placed in two bowls, and they directly found a steamer, put them in and started steaming.
Steaming bear paws is definitely a time-consuming process, because after all, these equipment are not high-tech equipment provided by the system, and cannot be done overnight. You must wait patiently and slowly.
After all the other ingredients are processed, the bear paws are not yet steamed.
Ye Fei wiped his hands and said: "Let's eat other things first, wait slowly, don't rush."
Lao Mo and his gang: "."
Damn it, do you have to wait and eat slowly? It’s really troublesome to eat this dish.
"Ye Shen, can you shorten the time?" Ling Lingsan didn't speak for a long time, saying anything was a bad idea.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Lao Mo slapped him on the head.
"Isn't it so urgent to eat two cat paws? Ye Shen has already said, wait and eat, this dish will not come out at all within an hour or two. This is the real best food, the longer it takes , the more delicious it is.”
Ling Ling San rolled his eyes at Lao Mo and said: "It sounds like you are good at cooking, but you take two bites of the food you cook yourself."
"."
"I don't talk to people who don't have good standards."
Ye Fei really likes these soldiers more and more. They look serious when they are performing tasks, and they are all living treasures when they are lively.
"Actually, Lao Mo is right. This delicacy is indeed very time-consuming, because the main nutrients of bear paws are collagen and elastin. If the cooking time is short, it will not be cooked."
"Collagen? Ye Shen, will eating it improve your beauty?" Ling Lingshi said excitedly.
Ye Fei smiled and nodded, saying: "It stands to reason that it should be possible."
"Emma, I'm so excited. I'm also using this bear's paw to beautify my face today. It's worthy of the vicissitudes of my face."
Who would have thought that just after this guy finished speaking, Zero Zero Eight hit him directly: "Your face is full of changes. No amount of beauty treatments will help. You should just eat tomatoes and scrambled eggs. Whatever you eat will make up for it."
Zero and ten: "."
Ye Fei laughed and said: "Okay, okay, let's eat other things first. Let this dish steam by itself first."
A group of people came outside and started eating directly.
Whether Ye Fei is live streaming or cooking with ordinary ingredients, it can be said that the portions are full every time and each plate is a lot.
But after all, Ye Fei underestimated the combat effectiveness of these soldiers. They were special forces. Whether on the battlefield or in the drinking hall, their combat effectiveness was off the charts.
With so many dishes, Ye Fei was still thinking that he could steam them in a bear's paw no matter how hard he tried, but he didn't even last for half an hour. The group of people devoured them in a hurry, and they were all gone in a while, and then Then a group of people sat there and stared.
"I won't hesitate to talk about you, Seventh, but tell me when you raise your head when eating? Can't you be more polite?"
"You're elegant, you're elegant, don't use both hands. I've never seen you move left and right like this. Fortunately, this table is spacious. If it were narrower, this dining table wouldn't be big enough for you to play alone."
"."
Ye Fei stood up with a smile and entered the kitchen.
He also discovered that in front of this group of people, it was impossible to simmer on low heat, otherwise he would be late for the trip, so he just turned on the fire and started burning.
This time it was very fast, and it didn't take long for the bear's paw to be ready.
Take the bear's paw out of the steamer, place it directly on the cutting board, then use a knife to slowly take out the bear's paw bone, then add onion, ginger, cooking wine and clear soup again, and steam it in the steamer again.
After the water boiled, it was supposed to be on low heat, but Ye Fei still chose high heat, and only changed to low heat in the last ten minutes.
Finally, take out the bear paw and place it on the cutting board, then use a knife to slice it into three to four centimeter thick slices of meat. However, the slices of meat are not broken, but are still connected at the bottom.
This knife technique is also called lying knife. It is also a knife technique often used by chefs to slice ingredients. This is to hold the knife flat and then raise the back of the knife slightly higher than the surface of the knife.
Put the two sliced bear paws in a bowl, then put the steamed ham slices and prepared winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms inside, then put the scallops around, add the elbows, chicken legs, onions and ginger, and then Add refined salt, cooking wine and clear soup, etc., put it into the steamer and steam it again.
The whole process was full of fire, but at the end, the fire was simmering for a while, then he took off the bear paw, took a small bowl from the side, carefully controlled the soup in the bear paw bowl into the small bowl, and then poured it out. The peeled quail eggs were placed around the bear's paws, and a large plate was placed directly on the mouth of the bowl.
In fact, the bear paws are ready at this time, and the rest is seasoning.
Put the wok on the fire, then add the pork and heat it until it is 50% to 60% hot, add the clear soup and the soup you just controlled, add a few slices of ginger, pour in an appropriate amount of soy sauce, and finally boil it until it becomes sugary red and sticky.
At this time, Ye Fei turned the bowl with the plate upside down, removed all the other ingredients on it, then poured the sugar-red viscous soup evenly on the bear's paws, and murmured: "That's it."
He spoke in a very low voice, but just after he finished speaking, he saw a group of people coming out from behind, and then they all stretched out their hands to pick it up.
"What are you doing? Ye Shen has put a lot of effort into this dish. Can you respect the fruits of other people's labor?" Old Mohu scolded the group of people with a glare on his face.
It's too small and too small. Ye Shen took great pains to make it, but you all rushed over and grabbed it one by one. How is it decent
After scolding ten people, Lao Mo's face changed as soon as he turned around. He looked at Ye Fei with a smile, and then stretched his hand directly to the edge of the plate.
"Ye Shen, thank you for your hard work. Let me do the small things like serving the dishes."
With that said, Lao Mo picked up the plate of silver beads, grabbed the bear's paws and ran away.
Ye Fei: "."
Everyone: "."
Old Mo, can you be a little more shameless
Chapter 3 It’s probably early in the morning again, sorry, brothers and sisters
