Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 401 Out of the Pot

The edible plant ash alkali carefully developed by Zhang Kaiji has subtle differences for Fuding meat slices compared to the industrially produced baking soda or edible alkali sold on the market today.

Through personal practice and repeated exploration, Old Li discovered that it is obvious that the Fuding meat slices made with edible plant ash alkali made using traditional techniques have a better taste and a purer flavor.

Brothers Li Wen and Li Wu added this unique edible plant ash when preparing the meat filling. This is one of the reasons why the Fuding meat slices at Li Ji Restaurant are different from those at other restaurants!

After the secret was revealed, colleagues around were all amazed.

They never imagined that the hidden secret of Li Ji Restaurant was actually this seemingly inconspicuous black edible plant ash alkali.

Everyone said they benefited a lot and decided to go back and try it again, hoping to improve the quality of their own dishes.

……

After mixing the stuffing, if you want the meat paste to be delicious, you must stir it continuously in the same direction for a while.

Then, Li Wen and Li Wu each picked up a huge basin and began to stir the ingredients inside non-stop!

During this process, special attention must be paid to stirring in the same direction for a while, so that the meat paste can better hold together and remain plump and elastic.

Therefore, do not underestimate this seemingly simple stirring action, there are actually many key points that need to be paid attention to!

Once the meat paste is finally ready, the next step is to put it into the pot and cook it!

But when cooking, you must be careful to control the water temperature and not let it be too high.

If the temperature is too high, the meat slices will be overcooked, affecting the taste!

At this moment and here, on the stove in front of Li Wen and Li Wu, there was an unimaginably huge iron pot. The water in the pot had begun to boil violently, as if it would burst through the lid and burst out at any time!

When the water in the pot boils, you must immediately turn the heat to a very low level to accurately control the water temperature.

Keep the water at a boiling point, then carefully add the finely minced meat slices into the pot. When the meat slices float to the surface of the water, it means they are cooked and ready to be served!

Next, prepare another clean pot and make sure it is dry and oil-free. Then slowly stir-fry the seaweed over low heat until it emits an attractive aroma. Then gently take it out and set aside.

Next, pour a small amount of cooking oil into the pan, add the dried shrimps and stir-fry until golden brown and slightly burnt, then quickly serve on a plate.

Take a bowl and put the fried seaweed, dried shrimps and yellow pepper in turn, then add appropriate amounts of MSG, salt, chicken essence, sesame oil, pepper and scallion oil.

Of course, don’t forget the Zherong rice vinegar that adds the finishing touch!

This is one of the souls of the entire Fuding pork slices!

In the past, Fuding meat slices were usually made with Fuding’s unique local rice vinegar, but today, the old-fashioned rice vinegar produced in small workshops has almost disappeared!

Instead, we have Zherong rice vinegar from Fujian! Zherong rice vinegar originates from Zherong County in Fujian Province, China. It is brewed by fermenting rice and red yeast rice. It contains a variety of nutrients, tastes sweet, and has a unique taste and flavor.

The unique taste of Zherong rice vinegar makes it highly adaptable and can be used with a variety of ingredients for cooking. It can not only effectively enhance the taste of the dishes, but also greatly increase the nutritional value of the dishes themselves.

When it is paired with Fuding meat slices, the taste is even better, refreshing and not greasy. It can easily remove the fishy smell and greasiness of pork, making the soup base more refreshing and delicious.

At this point, after going through many complicated processes, the Fuding pork slices can be considered truly successful!
