Chapter 546 Tomato and Potato Pork Rib Soup
"It's nothing, the practice of boiling fish is not difficult, many people can do it, by the way, squad leader Qian, I remember what you just said was to make three spicy dishes, seven ordinary dishes are like this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Squad Leader Qian nodded, "That's right, if you like spicy food, then make four spicy dishes, and six ordinary flavors are fine." ”
Meng Chuan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I mean, we have to make a soup, as the saying goes, a sip of soup before a meal, the stomach will not hurt, our soldiers' stomach is not very good, especially leading cadres, overtime is a common thing, so I suggest that we make three spicy dishes, six ordinary dishes, and then cook a soup, do you think it's okay." ”
Squad leader Qian immediately said: "Of course you can, I don't know what soup Expert Xiao Meng likes to drink, I'll stew it for you." ”
"No, no, squad leader Qian, you're busy with you, I'll stew this soup."
It's not difficult to stew a soup, theoretically speaking, stewed soup is the easiest way to cook, you only need to put the ingredients in the pot to stew, you don't need to care much, as long as you grasp it well, it doesn't take much effort, so I didn't fight with Meng Chuan, "Then it's troublesome for Xiao Meng expert." ”
Meng Chuan looked at the ingredients and selected a piece of pork ribs, "They are all soldiers, and if you want to drink it, you can drink broth, but for the sake of health, the soup you drink for dinner still has to be lighter." ”
Then I took a few more potatoes and a few tomatoes, and prepared to make a tomato potato pork rib soup.
This soup Meng Chuan has drunk before, it can be described as delicious, when the potato starch dissolves into the thick tomato soup, it tastes sweet and smooth, and it is really beautiful to say when he gnaws on a piece of ribs.
The main point of making this soup is to boil out the starch of the potatoes, and if the potatoes are stewed all the time and kept in a hot pot all the time, it is really difficult to stew the starch out. However, Meng Chuan has a little trick, that is, boil first, and then let it cool, in boiling, this cold and hot stew, the potatoes are not only soft and soft, but the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes can also be integrated, which is really quite good.
However, vegetables are easy to cook ingredients, Meng Chuan put aside first, first deal with the pork ribs, chop the ribs into pieces, and then put them in the water to start blanching, the blanching time does not have to be too long, two minutes can be, the main purpose of blanching is to blanch the blood and some other impurities, there is no need to cook it.
After blanching the ribs, set them aside and start processing the potatoes and tomatoes, which are cut into small pieces, about the same size as a thumb, so that they are easier to simmer softly.
Then start to process tomatoes, processing tomatoes This is the most important step, it can be said that the taste of this soup is good or bad, and this tomato has a lot to do with it, let's first cut the tomatoes into thin slices, if the knife skills are not good, you can cut it into small pieces, and the potato pieces are about the same size on the line, and then pour oil into the pot, wait for the oil to be hot, pour some green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, if you don't like to eat green onions, ginger and garlic, you can not put it.
After the incense is stir-fried, you can adjust the heat to low heat, or medium heat, and then pour in the tomatoes to start boiling, in the process of boiling, don't add water if you can't control the heat, if you are afraid of boiling paste, then along the edge of the pot, pour a little water, don't pour more, because the sweet and sour taste of this soup, and the color of the red tongtong, but they all rely on boiling tomatoes, if the water is poured too much, the tomatoes will not be able to boil out the taste.
When the tomatoes are all boiled into tomato sauce, you can pour in the potato pieces and pork ribs for stir-frying, the purpose of stir-frying is to mix the ingredients more evenly, so as long as you see that the potatoes and pork ribs are dipped in tomato sauce, you can pour in water and start simmering.
At this time, the color is already very good, the red one looks very appealing to the appetite, and the next thing is to start softening the potatoes, and after the soup has been boiling for five minutes, Meng Chuan turned off the fire, and then opened the lid and began to cool.
Squad Leader Qian saw that Meng Chuan stewed a soup for five minutes, this taste should not have been stewed, so he hurriedly asked, "Little Meng expert, are you stewing the soup so fast?" ”
Meng Chuan took a spoon and stirred the soup to make it cool quickly, and replied: "No, this soup hasn't started to stew yet, and it will start to stew when it cools." ”
Squad leader Qian is also an old cook who has been working for more than ten years, after listening to Meng Chuan's words, he knows what Meng Chuan is going to do, but he knows that when the mashed potatoes are integrated into the tomato soup, the taste is really not good, I didn't expect that Xiao Meng expert will also use this method to stew soup, which is really a very good idea.
Because Meng Chuan has been stirring, the soup cools quickly, about ten minutes, it is almost cold, and then Meng Chuan immediately covers the pot and starts to stew, the potatoes are cold and hot, they will soften quickly, and the stewed soup is also stewed for longer than that, the better the taste, if there is enough time, it is best to stew for more than an hour, so that the soup will taste better.
If you don't have enough time, you can simmer for half an hour, and add some salt to taste when you get out of the pot.
If you think this method is too complicated, Meng Chuan also has a particularly simple method, which does not need to boil tomatoes or cold potatoes, but only needs to use a pressure cooker to put the diced tomatoes, diced potatoes, and blanched pork ribs into it to press.
However, although this method is simple, the soup that tastes slowly stewed is a little worse, and there are still pros and cons to each other, and those who are troublesome can do this.
At this time, squad leader Qian also made other dishes, including five hot dishes, casserole tofu, potato stewed beef, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, fried pork fungus, three cold dishes, cold beef, fried peanuts, and hot and sour lotus root.
This is all home-cooked food, not only looks good, but also tastes real, at this time, the Qian squad leader pulled over a dining car and put all the dishes on it, "Xiao Meng expert, let's go to the small restaurant first, now it's almost time to eat, the captain and political commissar should also come, this welcome banquet is to welcome you, you are the main one, you have to go first." ”
Meng Chuan smiled, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”
As soon as the two of them pushed the dining cart out of the back kitchen door, they saw Director Lin and Team Leader Li coming back, Secretary Lin smiled and said: "It seems that the two of us are stepping on a little accurately, Lao Qian, you and Lao Li will go to the kitchen first, and I will push in the dining car with Xiao Meng, the meal is almost here, and you will ensure the normal dining of the soldiers no matter what." ”
Squad Leader Qian immediately replied: "Yes, Secretary Lin, we absolutely guarantee the normal food supply of the soldiers. ”
Secretary Lin nodded, "Okay, then after you and Lao Li make arrangements, come over quickly, but don't let the captain and political commissar wait for you." ”
Squad Leader Qian smiled, "Don't worry, no one can wait for the chief, let's go over and make arrangements, and we'll come over immediately." ”
