Su Qingluan spent a lot of time frying snake meat.
On the one hand, these snake meat segments are quite large, and even the first frying took less than half an hour. Coupled with the rapid fire and high temperature and repeated frying, it takes even more time.
Over there, Mr. Yang took Su Qingluan's hint and spread the blanched mushroom slices and wild vegetable leaves as flat as possible to dry. It is autumn now, the weather is dry, the autumn wind blows, and the moisture on the surface of the vegetables after blanching is quickly blown away.
When Su Qingluan fried mushrooms, the water on the surface of the mushroom leaves had evaporated, but the insides had been blanched. This ensured that the mushrooms were tender and juicy inside, and at the same time, the porous and sparse sponge-like structure of the mushrooms was destroyed by blanching. , to avoid inhaling a large amount of grease.
After all, although people in this era generally eat light food and have little fat in their stomachs, if you eat "oil buns" that absorb enough fat like fried mushrooms, you will always feel tired if you eat too much.
What's more, there are two children at home. If you eat so much oil, you may get a stomachache if you eat too much.
The meat of the mushrooms is quite thick, so it takes a lot of effort to fry them until they are crispy. Moreover, the first frying is to allow the batter to lock in the moisture. It cannot be fried over high heat, otherwise it will easily burn, so Su Qingluan hung a large pot of battered mushroom slices. After getting off the pot, there was nothing to do for a while.
But since everything can be fried, Su Qingluan thought about the newly ripe carrots outside and decided to pull out two and taste them.
So she turned around and pulled out the two "carrot roots" she planted at the beginning - and sure enough, this batch was basically fully mature. Although it was smaller than the ones sold by Hu Shang, it was still Very impressive.
After briefly washing the mud outside, Su Qingluan cut the carrots into thin slices.
Unlike mushrooms, which are easy to absorb oil, wild vegetables are too thin and easy to fry, so they need to be blanched. Carrots are very dense and not particularly easy to be fried, so the step of blanching is not necessary.
Over there, Mrs. Yang saw that Su Qingluan no longer needed to blanch the water, so she safely poured the water used for blanching into the large basin next to her, intending to use it later, then turned around and took new water to cook wild vegetable porridge.
Su Qingluan had already fried all the mushrooms for the first time. After taking out the mushroom slices, he added the battered carrot slices. While waiting for the carrot slices to be fried, Su Qingluan dried the wild vegetable leaves on their backs. When the carrots are almost fried, wrap the wild vegetable leaves in batter and put them in the oil pan.
During this interval, Su Qingluan took out the three-piece barbecue powder set he had made before - salt, cumin, and dogwood mixed and ground into powder - and poured some into a dry seasoning dish.
After all the vegetables were fried, Su Qingluan adjusted the fire to a slightly more intense level and began to fry again.
Re-frying is different from locking in moisture in the first frying, but it needs to make the surface crispy, and the surface of the ingredients will still maintain a crispy texture even if the heat is lost. Therefore, this process cannot be as protracted as the initial explosion. The action must be rapid, otherwise the surface will be easily fried.
So, Su Qingluan could only keep putting the pan into the oil pan to stir it up, and when the heat was almost done, he immediately fished out the vegetables inside.
Although these three vegetables - mushroom slices, carrots, and wild vegetable leaves - are also fried again, the order is also particular.
The slices of mushrooms are relatively thick and easy to accumulate heat when heated and are not easy to cool, so they are fried first. Relatively speaking, carrots and wild vegetable leaves are thinner and easier to cool, which affects the taste to a certain extent, so they are fried later. .
By the time Yang's wild vegetable porridge was finished and served, Su Qingluan had already fried the three vegetables and placed them on three clean plates.
After Mrs. Yang brought the three plates of vegetables, Su Qingluan originally wanted to follow in, but when she tested the first fried snake meat segment with her palm, she found that there was only a warm feeling left.
Although it has been re-fried, whether it is soft-fried or dry-fried, the snake meat segments will not collapse and affect the taste, but Su Qingluan is still afraid that this kind of game will become fishy if it gets cold.
So to be on the safe side, Su Qingluan simply fried the two kinds of snake meat pieces again before turning off the exhaust vent of the furnace and carrying the snake meat pieces into the main room.
Although Su Qingluan had told everyone to eat it while it was hot and crispy, when she entered the house, the whole family was waiting for her.
Seeing Su Qingluan come in, Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan were like two little helpers, moving stools and handing out chopsticks. They were busy with a hint of "caring", which made Yang couldn't help laughing, even Su Guangfu's face There was also a smile.
In fact, Su Qingluan has made fried vegetables before. Of course, everyone knows that the vegetable leaves look soft, and after being wrapped in batter, they will be fried very crispy by Su Qingluan's hands - at least the fried mushrooms and fried carrots, FamilyMart All have been tasted.
But this is my first time using wild vegetables fried in batter.
Probably because they knew that the "meat segments" in the two pots were actually two big snakes as the original ingredients, the two little guys Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, who were fond of meat, unexpectedly reached out their chopsticks to the "wild vegetables". A fried "new product" that would not have been much favored by them.
But as the crisp sound of "click click" sounded between the lips and teeth, the two little guys exclaimed in unison - fried wild vegetables and so on, it is so delicious!
The batter for fried vegetables does not have as "heavy taste" as fried snake meat, it is just a tool to make the vegetables crispy.
After being re-fried, the original plain wild vegetable leaves take on a dark green color that is almost black, and are wrapped in the fried until golden batter.
The originally tender leaves have been evaporated by high-temperature frying, and the remaining leaves are completely charred and have a crispy texture. With just a slight touch between the lips and teeth, the leaves are so crispy that they don't even need to be chewed. The leaves fell apart and fell apart.
The unique fragrance of wild vegetables mixed with the mellow aroma of oil spreads in the mouth. The two flavors complement each other and blend, offsetting the greasy taste of oil and eliminating the bitterness of wild vegetables, leaving only the right crispness.
Coupled with the freshness of the powder from the three-piece barbecue set, the fragrant taste of wild vegetables is evaporated more vividly, making the two little guys who originally frowned at the mention of the word "wild vegetables" turn out to be the best on the plate in the blink of an eye. The fried wild vegetables were eaten even to the edge of the plate.
Su Guangfu and Yang were amazed by this "wonder", and they successively picked up the leaves of the wild vegetables that were originally the most inconspicuous. After a while, the plate of fried vegetables, which Su Qingluan originally thought would be the most "left out", was wiped out first.
Meanwhile, fried mushrooms and fried carrots have also been partially eliminated.
As for the fried snake meat, although Su Qingluan and Su Guangfu ate it with gusto, the remaining three people - especially the two children, were always cautious and refused to try it.
After all, Yang was a person who had truly suffered from hunger and escaped famine. Although he was a little afraid of snake meat, he still took a bite of the crispy dry-fried snake meat with his eyes closed.
After two re-fryings, the dry-fried snake meat segments have been completely fried to the point of being crispy to the bone. If you bite hard, you can completely bite them into two pieces.
And because there are a lot of spices and seasonings, the original fishy smell of the snake meat is perfectly covered up - although the delicious taste is also blocked, but for some people who are afraid of snakes, this is not a bad thing.
In fact, Su Qingluan originally wanted to make snake soup, after all, this could bring out the deliciousness of the snake meat to the greatest extent.
But thinking about the possibility that his younger brothers and sisters would be frightened and turn into two tearful little crybabies, Su Qingluan gave up the idea - after all, he first had to let them accept that "although a living and writhing snake is scary, The idea that dead snakes can be made into something delicious is the first step.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan threw a piece of soft fried snake meat into his mouth, biting it with a cracking sound, and looked at his brother and sister who were eager to try, but a little afraid: "Don't you try it? Dry fried. The snake meat segment is a bit spicy, and the soft fried one doesn’t contain so much cornel powder. You can try it, it’s delicious, isn’t it?”
"Sister, I'm scared..." the little girl muttered pitifully. But seeing Su Qingluan and her father and mother eating so deliciously, with crispy crackling sounds between their lips and teeth, she couldn't help but swallow.
I am timid but want to give it a try, and I am on the verge of trying it again and again.
Su Qingluan screamed in her heart at the cuteness of her sister and fell to the ground, but she still maintained a calm look on her face. She picked up another chopstick of fried snake meat, and while eating, she even more deliberately cut the snake into pieces. The meat and bones made a "clicking" sound when chewed.
"Are you really afraid to eat?" Su Qingluan looked at Su Xuanhe who had his face buried in a bowl drinking porridge with a slightly provocative look, "Are you really afraid to eat a bite?"
Su Qingluan knew that his younger brother, to put it mildly, had a simple personality, but to put it more bluntly, he was heartless. No matter how direct or provocative he is, he will definitely fall into the trap. Su Qingluan felt that if he were in modern times, he would definitely be the kind of person who would be "taken care of" by harassing phone calls.
Sure enough, Su Qingluan didn't even say anything, just a look, and some of the "demeanor" that he had cultivated through going to school in the recent period was instantly destroyed.
Su Xuanhe's little wheat-colored face flushed, and he retorted unconvincingly: "Who said I don't dare to do it anymore!"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of soft fried snake meat, closed his eyes and squinted his heart, and someone who didn't know thought he was about to make some difficult decision, then threw the snake meat into his mouth.
Originally, Su Xuanhe obviously wanted to "swallow the date whole" and swallowed the small piece of snake meat whole.
However, the snake meat segments were, after all, two adult snakes, and their length was not something that a child could easily swallow. Therefore, Su Xuanhe had to "regurgitate" the snake meat that he could not swallow into his mouth like a large herbivore, and reluctantly refused.
But after chewing it for a few times, the salty and crispy texture in his mouth gradually relaxed his frown, and he chewed it more quickly - this fried snake meat is so delicious!
