Chapter 350 Golden Lotus Root Meatballs
Chapter 350 Golden Lotus Root Meatballs
Li Heng didn't show any politeness to the goblin and directly grabbed its head.
Insert the other end into the basin and stir vigorously a few times.
"Okay, let's go!"
After it felt like it was about the same, Li Heng pulled it out of the basin and threw it back.
"Is it over so soon?"
The goblin closed and opened his eyes, then returned to the deer's small head.
It planned to secretly take a bite of the contents of the basin, but Li Heng didn't even give it time to react.
"Then how about you ask me to cut off two whiskers? Just in time to add some ingredients!"
Seeing that the goblin didn't seem very satisfied, Li Heng raised his kitchen knife and gestured at the goblin.
Just the smell of this guy can improve the taste of the dishes. Li Heng is really curious about what this grass tastes like.
"Don't, don't, don't. If you have anything to say, talk to me. I've joined you. How can I eat my own companions?"
The goblin hurriedly swung his beard and rejected Li Heng's proposal.
"Tch, boring!"
Li Heng put away the kitchen knife with some disappointment. He didn't want to talk to this guy anymore and continued to make his unfinished dishes.
Feeling that the color in the basin was a bit monotonous, he grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkled them in.
In order to increase the viscosity between the diced lotus root and the minced meat, it is easier to shape into balls.
Li Heng added some flour and starch into the basin, and then stirred it evenly again.
The fillings are ready, and the next step is cooking. You can choose steaming, boiling, frying and other cooking methods to make lotus root balls.
Li Heng plans to use fried food today. He first adds half a pot of oil to the pot and controls the oil temperature to 50% hot.
The next step is to roll the meatballs with your hands, then put them in the pan and fry them.
Li Heng reached out and grabbed a handful of sticky stuffing, then squeezed out a lotus root ball with a tiger's mouth, caught it with a spoon dipped in water, and finally lowered the ball into the oil pan.
This set of actions is quite time-consuming.
"Brother Li Heng, let's help you!"
The two children saw Li Heng rubbing the balls, which was similar to how they usually rubbed mud, so they became interested and wanted to give it a try.
"Go wash your hands first."
Li Heng was looking for help, and the two little ones came to his door.
But soon, he discovered that the two little ones were actually here to cause trouble.
With just a quick turn of their heads, the two of them rolled a ball about the same size as their heads and tried to throw it into the frying pan.
"Oh my goodness! You two are really real people. Isn't this one worthy of dozens of mine?"
"The problem is so big that it can't be exploded!"
Li Heng quickly stopped the two little ones from doing anything. If they tried to fry them the way they did, the outside would be mushy but the inside would still be raw, making them inedible.
"Forget it, I don't need your help, I thought of a better way."
After driving away the two little ones, Li Heng finally realized that he was in a fantasy world, so why did he have to follow the old method?
He could obviously use a more convenient method. After Li Heng washed off the sticky stuffing on his hands, he directly poured the power of the God of Cooking into the basin.
Then he controlled the power of the God of Cooking, cut out a piece of stuffing from the basin, and lifted it above the oil pan.
Next, cut the filling into appropriate sizes and then squeeze into balls.
"dong dong dong..."
After doing this, Li Heng clenched his fist and took back the power of the God of Cooking. The out-of-control lotus root balls fell into the oil pan one after another.
Judging from Li Heng's current control ability, he can divide the power of the God of Cooking into fifty equal parts at most each time. Any more would exceed his limit.
In other words, he can make fifty meatballs at one time, which not only speeds up work efficiency, but also prevents his hands from getting dirty. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
After the meatballs are put into the pot, don't flip them over in a hurry. Fry them slowly over medium-low heat.
After the meatballs are fried to a firm shape, you can flip them around with a slotted spoon.
The purpose of this is to make them heat more evenly and prevent them from being burnt.
As time goes by, the meatballs in the pot will gradually float up, and the skin will change from white to slightly yellow.
After a few more breaths, you can fish it out.
Due to the size limit of the pot, it was impossible to put all the meatballs in at once, so Li Heng had to put them in while fishing them out.
After all the meatballs have been fried, increase the oil temperature in the pot and perform a second frying operation.
The meatballs that are cooked twice will turn golden brown in appearance, look very appetizing, and smell delicious.
What can I say? Forget it, let’s not talk about it, keep a low profile!
The refried meatballs will not return to moisture and will always taste crispy no matter how long they are left.
So this time Li Heng deliberately made more. If he wants to eat it in the future, he doesn't have to work hard to make it and just eat it ready-made.
The last dish is also ready, and the meal everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived.
Crispy roasted duck, stewed lotus root, braised shredded pork belly, lotus root meatballs, the four dishes were placed on the dining table in four bowls respectively.
"Here's a whole roast duck for you, and for you two little ones too."
According to the previous agreement, Li Heng divided the three roast ducks between Nangong Ya and the two younger ones. The others were cut into pieces and put in basins.
Among them, the one given to the two little ones was missing a duck leg, because the duck leg had been eaten by them in advance.
There was no nonsense. After everyone finished serving the rice, they sat down and started to show off.
The four dishes all have different tastes, but the only thing in common is that they are all delicious.
Well, I can't say this too absolutely, because Xiaochi is an exception.
"Come on, Xiaochi, try this dish, it's delicious!"
As soon as Li Heng sat down, he took the initiative to pick up a chopstick dish for Xiao Chi next to him.
It was the braised three-strand shredded dish that he invented. By coincidence, what he picked up with his first chopsticks was all shredded ginger.
"Hey! Thank you, brother Li Heng!"
Xiao Chi felt that his love for brother Li Heng had become stronger.
Sure enough, brother Li Heng's favorite is her, Xiao Chi, otherwise why wouldn't he be the first to pick up food for the young lady?
Xiao Chi gave Li Heng a sweet smile, and a pair of short legs swayed under the table.
She picked up the shredded ginger in the bowl and put it all into her mouth without thinking. She didn't even have time to eat the roast duck she just got.
Then Li Heng saw the smile on her face suddenly solidified.
A spicy and stimulating smell went straight to Xiao Chi's Tianling Gai. She subconsciously retracted her neck and frowned into a "Chuan" character.
The grinning look was cute and a little funny, which immediately amused the other people at the table.
Xiao Chi, who usually had to pick out the ginger in every dish he ate, was now coaxed by Li Heng into eating a full mouthful. How could he not get fried?
"puff!"
"Ah!!! Brother Li Heng, you tricked me again!"
Xiao Chi, who realized it later, finally understood.
She spit out the ginger silk in her mouth first, then turned around and threw herself into Li Heng's arms, and the two of them immediately made a fuss.
"Bite and wash you! Bite and wash you!"
"What do you mean by tricking you? I'm doing this for your own good! Children who are picky eaters will not grow taller."
Li Heng raised Xiao Chi high, while trying to fool her, he also wanted to be careful not to be bitten by her.
As for the others, they took advantage of the time when the two of them had no time to cook, and frantically picked up vegetables to show off their rice.
