Lisko's American life
Chapter 175 180. Guilin Rice Noodles (Thanks to Lan Shiyu for the reward)
"Really? Then I'll try it." Lisko acted drooling, and took the paper to wipe his mouth.
Downstairs in his previous life, there are three common stores, three national brands, "Guilin rice noodles, Shaxian snacks, and Lanzhou ramen."
When he was at work, he was so shy in his pocket that he had to settle his dinner in these three inexpensive shops all the year round.
Zhang Li is a native of Guilin, Guangxi, so Guangxi cuisine is also her specialty. However, due to limited ingredients, she can only make rice noodles.
She followed her mother since she was a child, and when she entered the kitchen, she listened to the chef briefly taught how to operate the kitchen utensils, and quickly became proficient.
Zhang’s mother was afraid that Zhang Li would not be satisfied with the taste of the United States, so in Zhang Li’s suitcase, there were a lot of bagged rice noodles produced in Guangxi, and the packaging method was similar to instant noodles. package.
When Zhang Li came from Denver, he packed two packs, thinking that Lisko might not have eaten them, so he would try something new.
Soak the rice noodles in water and soften quickly.
There were beef bones cut from the pasture in the refrigerator. She set up another pot, boiled the beef bones under cold water, and removed the foam.
Near Garrison, cow bones are sold to artisans to make hot-colored bone carvings.
But it’s not like that in Lisko’s ranch. He couldn’t see such good ingredients being used for anything else. He often arranged for David to shave off the best bones of the cow, put it in his own refrigerator, and sometimes cook the soup himself Drink it and add white radish to nourish qi and stomach.
Zhang Li picked up the beef bones, changed a pot of water again, and started to cook. This will take a little longer. According to the method, the bone soup is more nutritious the longer it is cooked.
Li Sike held his hands and stood at the door watching Zhang Li's work. He really felt a sense of happiness after marriage. He was watching. His wife was cooking for the family in the kitchen.
"What are you looking at." Zhang Li walked to Lisko with her hands back. She put on a spare apron, which didn't bring any change to her beauty, and even had the temperament of a good wife.
"I think you are so virtuous. Whoever marries you is really so happy." Li Ske smiled and wiped off the sweat on Zhang Li's forehead because of his busy schedule with his hands.
"Hahaha," Zhang Li talked about this, but she was not too shy. This is what makes her different from other girls, and she is generous.
"How long will this soup take?" Lisko tilted his head, smelling the scent of beef bone soup that had already drifted out.
"It will take about two hours. Due to material restrictions, the best soup base for rice noodles is brine and char siu. Unfortunately, the ingredients here are not enough. If you want to eat other Guangxi delicacies, we will go to Chinatown tomorrow and buy For these ingredients, our Guangxi cuisine is more than just this. I know everything about folded braised taro, Wuzhou paper-wrapped chicken, and roast suckling pig."
Zhang Li's expression is full of pride.
"Are you still so good at cooking?" Li Ske was surprised. I couldn't see that Zhang Li could do a lot.
"My grandmother used to be a banquet master in the country. I lived with my grandmother when I was a child, so she was often taken to cook for others, and it would naturally become a little bit worse."
Zhang Li’s face is full of memories. She had a very good life when she was a child. Because her grandmother was a cook, she didn’t eat those banquet dishes, and the food was very good.
"How is grandma's health now?"
"Grandma passed away in my sophomore year in high school,"
"Huh?" Li Ske complained a little bit about himself, which pot was opened or not, and when he looked at Zhang Li's expression, he knew that grandma and her had a deep relationship, and he even exposed other people's scars.
"sorry, I do not know,"
Li Sike quickly apologized.
"It's okay, it's been many years, and we have passed that kind of sorrowful time," Zhang Li didn't care. Everyone had to face birth, old age, sickness and death. Fortunately, grandma didn't leave because of illness, it was natural. She left in her sleep, she was still very open.
"Grandma will be very pleased to see you are so good now." Lisko comforted her.
The sound of the beef bone soup interrupted the two who were talking, and Zhang Li quickly returned to his position, opened the pot, and strong steam rose.
Zhang Li glanced down. The bone broth had been boiled and turned white. She used a small spoon to serve it a bit, and the taste was a bit weak.
Add some seasonings, close the lid and continue cooking, turning medium heat to low heat.
Liske washed his hands and also came to help. He couldn't just eat rice noodles. He took a knife from a shelf.
On a shelf on one side of the kitchen, there was a ham, which was purchased by chef Sinstedi, the most precious ham in the world, Spanish Iberian ham.
The approximate weight of this ham is seven kilograms, but the price is not low. The price of the ham is two thousand pounds, which is 30,000 RMB in total.
This ham is made from naturally-bred Iberian black pigs.This black pig feeds on acorns rich in oleic acid every day, which can reduce the fat content in the meat and taste better.In the production process, this top-quality ham is only cured with high-grade sea salt and does not use any artificial additives and chemical ingredients, which is very healthy.In addition, the ham must be stored in the cellar and allowed to dry naturally in two years.
Moreover, it is very difficult to buy. It was sold out immediately after it went on the market. The Lisko house was bought by Sins from friends based on his previous contacts.
When an average chef cuts this carefully, he cuts it to the thickness of a cicada's wing. Lisko can't manage that much. The expensive food is the same in his eyes. He directly cuts a large piece and cuts it. Into the thickness of the domestic sausage.
A plate was filled and served on the table.
Zhang Li here is also ready. She put the rice noodles into a large bowl. The milky white bone broth contains white rice noodles, topped with coriander, peanuts, and the sour bamboo shoots and capers in the package. There is also the braised beef that Sins made earlier in accordance with Lisko's arrangement, which is what Lisko used to make snacks.
"Very fragrant," Lisko sat down, the tangy scent attracted his taste buds.
"Okay, you can start eating."
Zhang Li brought two glasses of orange juice and drank red wine in the morning. She didn't want to be drunk at night.
"To our hardworking chef." Lisko took the orange juice glass and hung it in the air.
"Okay, thank you for your ham too." Zhang Li smiled like a flower.
After a sip of orange juice, Lisko picked up his chopsticks and stirred up the rice noodles.
"Hmm~" He took a sip of the round rice noodles and immediately entered his mouth. Lisko sighed in enjoyment, before he could speak, biting, chewing, and sour beans mixed with round rice noodles, plus delicious soup. That tastes great.
Just pick up a golden peanut, and the crisp sound of a bite, "gluck", the mouthful of peanuts and the flavor of rice noodles are really memorable.
Lisko didn't care about eating his own cut ham, and ate up the whole bowl of rice noodles in one breath, licking his lips unconsciously.
