The most famous and high-end European pork cooking is ham from the Iberian Peninsula and sausages from the German Confederation.
In fact, the Sausage Queen of Germany also chooses high-quality sausages with more red meat. Eating one or two slices occasionally does not make sense for long-term consumption.
Spanish ham is an exception. Due to its special craftsmanship and precious materials, it is rich in muscle fiber and low in fat, so it has always been a regular on the Queen's menu.
However, the frequency of this frequent visitor is far less than that of fish, poultry, and red meat such as beef and mutton. This is not only a matter of taste and grade, but more importantly, the queen's health.
In the Shijia Sauce Recipe in front of me, a huge cube of meat is tightly wrapped in thick black sauce. Although the aroma is fragrant, from the cross-section of the sauce recipe, you can see layer after layer. The layer of white fat is gone.
No matter how attractive the aroma was, the queen had already lost her appetite when she saw this layer of fat. She put down her knife and fork and was about to speak, but Xiao Letian spoke in advance.
"This dish is called Shijia Sauce Recipe. It is one of the representatives of Suzhou and Hangzhou cuisine. Why do I order it this time? In fact, this dish was ordered for the Queen herself!"
"Ordered it yourself?" Queen Victoria asked in confusion.
"Queen, please listen to me...for this dish, the raw material we use is the finest pork in the Iberian Peninsula, and the best pork belly is selected. Although pork is not expensive, it can be used to make top-quality ham. It should be worthy of this state banquet!”
“Cut the selected pork belly into neat large pieces, quickly blanch it in boiling water to remove the odor and blood, then put it in the stew pot and start stewing... This is the time to show your skill. The stew pot should be full of water, and add top-quality dark soy sauce. , and dozens of spices and herbs..."
"All the ingredients are ready. A wet towel should be placed around the pot to prevent air leakage, and then a huge steamer of the same diameter should be used to press it on!"
"The purpose of the steamer is to allow all the meat to soak into the soup to prevent it from leaking out and dry-cooking. Finally, put a lid on the steamer!"
"The rest of the work will be left to time! How long do you think it will take to simmer such a pot of Shijia sauce?"
The guests present shook their heads subconsciously, and Xiao Letian shrugged, "It will take more than ten hours, preferably twelve hours!"
"Oh my God! It takes so long? Just to eat one dish?" Prince Edward couldn't understand this annoying cooking technique.
Xiao Letian nodded, "Sometimes it takes time to cook delicious food! After twelve hours, these pork belly have been completely soft and glutinous. It can be said to be fat but not greasy, and lean but not woody!"
"Finally, it is spread on a vegetable-based dinner plate, and the Shi family's secret sauce is poured on top. It is fresh, sweet, salty and glutinous, and the taste is the most unique... Come and see!"
While talking, Xiao Letian stood up, picked up the corner of the plate containing the sauce cube, and gently lifted it up. With such a small amount of force, the cube of sauce started to shake like jelly.
"Look, everyone, look...this piece of meat is already rippling! This is the effect we want. You can make the whole piece of meat rippling with just a little bit of force. This is called enough heat!"
At this point, Xiao Letian stopped using the maid and took the serving chopsticks himself. He gently touched the corner of the piece of meat with the tip of the chopstick. Sure enough, the whole piece of meat started to tremble, really like rippling jelly.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you may be worried that this piece of meat will taste too fatty. How about Your Highness do it for you?" As he spoke, Xiao Letian held a spoon in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, and personally prepared a sauce recipe with the skin on the meat for Prince Edward.
Before Prince Edward's piece of meat entered his mouth, Xiao Letian felt the burning gaze from the side, and when he looked carefully, he saw that Princess Sissi was looking at him with a strange look.
Xiao Letian's heart skipped a beat and he quickly spread a piece of sauce with serving chopsticks and said with a smile, "Dear Queen, do you want to try it? I forgot to mention something just now. This dish is rich in collagen, which is good for women's skin." But it’s extremely beneficial!”
Everyone doesn’t know what collagen is, but women understand that it is good for the skin. When I heard that this dish can also beautify the skin, I couldn’t sit still.
Princess Sissi nodded in thanks, and then looked at the rippling pieces of meat on the plate. It was true that the layers of skinny and fat inside looked very greasy, but after thinking about the wonderful introduction given by the head of state just now, she was a little curious.
In the end, those beauty words had an effect, and Princess Sissi stuffed the sauce into her mouth with just one spoonful.
"Well..." A moan that was so comfortable to the bottom of his heart sounded from his throat. Edward next to him almost felt so happy that he fell to the ground. He thought to himself, is the Queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's voice so charming? If this was in bed... the prince wouldn't dare to think about it.
Princess Sissi felt that her entire mouth was stuck with a gelatinous substance, which was the melted fat releasing delicious factors in her mouth.
All her taste buds were wrapped in the rich aroma, and the satisfaction brought by the oil even made her experience some kind of orgasmic excitement. She even let out a happy moan.
As expected, it was fat but not greasy, thin but not fat. This mouthful of soy sauce was so delicious that it even made her doubt the first half of her thirty-year life.
Prince Edward knew the dish was right as soon as he saw the Queen's expression. He quickly put the sauce into his mouth with a spoon. At that moment, he actually laughed out loud, and the fat in his mouth almost spat out.
"Cough...cough...oh...oh...my mother, I beg you, give up your stubbornness and taste the beauty of this world!"
The entire banquet hall was in a state of shock, especially the female guests. When they heard that this dish could be used for beauty and skin care, they immediately gave up their reserve and stood up one by one to grab the food. The scene was as chaotic as it could have been. confusion.
Queen Victoria couldn't help but be influenced by her son and the people around her. She turned to look at her grandson and grandson at the table next to her. The two little guys had already eaten and their mouths were full of oil.
The Queen finally raised the spoon and took a small taste. From this moment on, the Queen became a fan of Chinese food.
"Oh my God! This has to be on my Buckingham Palace menu, it has to!"
The Queen looked at Xiao Letian with stubborn eyes: "Your Majesty the Head of State, what conditions do you require to transfer the recipe of this dish?"
How could Xiao Letian use a dish to trade with the Queen? He quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the secret recipe is nothing. I will give it to the Queen as long as she needs it. But this dish requires the experience of a chef, which is not the case." The secret recipe on the paper can achieve such an effect!"
"To tell you the truth, I will invest in a high-end Chinese restaurant in London in the future. Then you can taste such food at any time. If the chef of Buckingham Palace wants to learn, it is easy to come to my restaurant for an internship. Let's I won’t hide my secrets, I will definitely teach them step by step..."
