A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

The question this time was what Liao Wendong really wanted to ask, and he was really curious about it.

Li Yi didn't use the prepared green peppers, but used sea peppers, which meant that he thought sea peppers were better.

But now he said that sea pepper is not good enough, so what kind of pepper can catch his eyes?

Facing Liao Wendong's question, Li Yi didn't hide his secrets, and explained with a smile: "The key to the fried pork is the chili, and the chili is good, the taste of the fried pork is good enough.

The best chili for cooking small fried pork must be Zhangshugang chili.

But now it's out of season, and the after crops are too old to taste.

So it is best to use green glass peppers that have not turned red in Liling, that is, ox horn peppers. "

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Liao Wendong was speechless.

The first crop of Zhangshugang chili is of course the best fried pork, because it is delicious in itself!

Zhangshugang pepper is a specialty of Zhangshu Town, Xiangyin County, YY City, Hunan Province. It is known as Hermes in the pepper world.

Every year, the opening price of peppers in Zhangshugang is at a maximum of 300 yuan per catty, which is more expensive than many seafood, but it is still very popular, and it is hard to find a pepper.

This is because the spiciness of Zhangshugang chili is more suitable for the taste of the public.

After it is eaten, it is mildly spicy and sweet in the early stage, medium spicy and crispy in the middle stage, spicy and fragrant in the later stage, pure but not astringent, and the pepper flavor is particularly strong, which is obviously higher than other varieties.

When stir-frying, its skin and flesh are not easy to separate. After frying, the taste can still remain crisp and soft, with a unique fragrance.

Therefore, in Hunan Province, the first crop of peppers in Zhangshugang is basically considered a luxury.

In many Hunan restaurants, when Zhangshugang peppers are on the market, they will launch related dishes as special dishes to attract customers.

After hearing Li Yi's explanation, the kitchen helpers at the back suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.

"The Zhangshugang chili is really fine, not to mention the stir-fried pork, even if you don't put anything in it, it's very delicious if you just stir-fry it."

"Just put some lard, some garlic, and fry until soft. I can dry it out in one plate!"

"It's out of season now, the first stubble in May and June is the best food."

"The most expensive one I bought was more than 500 a catty. I bought it as a gift, and it hurts me so much."

"Then you bought premium grade, right? All I buy are more than a hundred pounds, the kind in the supermarket."

The cook who borrowed Li Yi's knife couldn't help but smiled at Li Yi and asked, "Master Li, do you still know Zhangshugang pepper?"

"Such a famous chili, of course I know."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "When I was recording a program in Beijing, I wanted to buy some Zhangshugang peppers, but I couldn't get them."

"It's not a good buy."

The chef nodded: "The production of peppers in Zhangshugang is too small, and there are many fake ones.

Many peppers grown in surrounding areas are also sold as Zhangshugang peppers, and they don’t taste like that at all. "

"Yes, everything I saw in the capital was fake."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Zhangshugang chili is more suitable for planting in Quaternary laterite red soil, which is unique to Zhangshugang.

The soil in other places is not this kind of soil, and the taste and taste of the peppers grown are quite different, and they do not have the taste of real Zhangshugang peppers.

And after the first crop, even the local peppers in Zhangshugang, the quality of each crop will gradually decrease.

Therefore, there is no need to use Zhangshugang peppers. During this time period, it is better to use glass peppers from Liling. "

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Liao Wendong could not help but sigh.

Hearing the sound, Li Yi turned and glanced at him.

Seeing him looking over, Liao Wendong sighed: "I really learned something today, everyone said that three people must have my teacher, it really makes sense.

It's because I'm blind, I just said you can't cook, I apologize to you! I was wrong! sorry! "

Hearing his apology, the help cooks in the back were stunned.

Liao Wendong was notorious for his stubborn temper. Even if he made a mistake on weekdays, he would never expect to hear a soft word from him.

Unexpectedly, in front of this Li Yi today, for the first time ever, he gave in and offered an apology.

In the eyes of the cooks, this is tantamount to the sun coming out from the west.

Seeing him apologizing decisively, Li Yi was also taken aback for a moment, before he smiled and said, "Master Liao is serious, this is the first time we have met, we are not familiar with each other, it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings.

Everyone is a cook, worshiping a patriarch is considered half a brother, so there is nothing to say.

If there is any misunderstanding, let's talk about it, the brothers don't have an overnight feud! "

Liao Wendong is a very face-saving person. It is very embarrassing for him to apologize in public.

Fortunately, Li Yi was very face-saving, borrowed the donkey from the slope, and gave him a hand, not letting his face fall to the ground.

Liao Wendong was very happy, and immediately came forward with a laugh, and enthusiastically held Li Yi's hand: "Haha! You are so right! The chefs in the world are one family, and they are all brothers!

I was wrong just now, I neglected you, don't take it to heart! If you eat at my place at noon, I will give you a toast! I apologize to you! "

"Eh!"

Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you don't pay for the gift, let's treat it as a recognition of a senior brother, and there is no need to be so extravagant."

Hearing what Li Yi said, Liao Wendong was even happier, and he held Li Yi's hand even tighter, very enthusiastically.

"Today I have seen what it means that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Your fried pork dish is really amazing!"

He raised his thumb and praised without hesitation: "To be honest, the fried pork I made is really not as good as yours.

But in the entire Hunan Province, I can't find anyone who is better than you, and I don't have any imbalance, haha! "

"You're too much of a prize."

Li Yi said modestly: "You also said that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, I just learned a few more dishes.

And the ingredients of this dish are indeed not perfect, so don't praise it. "

"Haha! According to the standard you mentioned, how many dishes can be perfect?"

Liao Wendong laughed and complained, and then asked curiously: "Eh? I want to ask, according to your standard, what is a perfect stir-fried pork?"

Li Yi raised his finger to the fried pork on the table, and said casually: "That's it, it's just that the ingredients are more particular.

The main ingredients are Shaziling pork tenderloin that has been fed for at least one year, and Zhangshugang pepper that has been stubbled for the first time.

The best ingredients are purple garlic from Chaling and fermented soybeans from Liuyang. "

Hearing Li Yi's words, Liao Wendong was very surprised: "You even know Chaling garlic?"

"Of course."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Chaling garlic was a tribute in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and its quality is still very good.

The reason why Liuyang fermented soya bean is used is the water from Liuyang River.

The Liuyang River and the Xiangjiang River are connected, so it will be more suitable for the appetite of the people of Hunan Province, and it will be more comfortable to eat. "

"Huh? What else is going on?"

Liao Wendong was even more surprised: "Where do you use the fermented soya bean, and you are also particular about it?"
