Chapter 215 Korean Hot Sauce
The Xu family were all action-oriented. The day after the chicken coop was built, the Xu family moved all the chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard into the newly built chicken coop, and also relocated the things in the backyard according to Xu Congyi's plan. In this way, Li Tian's living place became larger and more spacious, and the firewood and feed were no longer afraid of rain. After all this, the backyard was clean and tidy, and the area seemed much larger. Hunter Xu asked Daniu to buy a few peach and apricot saplings from the county's morning market and planted them in the place where the firewood was originally piled.
Xu Congyi specially left two white-feathered chickens to kill and cook in the evening. When it was cooked at Shen's house, only he and his grandfather ate it. Xu Congyi also wanted to try whether the white-feathered chickens raised at home could reach the standard of tender and soft meat.
Following his daughter's instructions, Hunter Xu skillfully slaughtered and cut the chicken into pieces, then put the pieces into a basin and soaked them in cold water to remove the blood. After a short nap in the afternoon, Xu Congyi couldn't wait to start making the sauce. Although using the ready-made seasonings in the space can save time and effort, in order to gain a foothold in this era and open a restaurant, he still had to use the seasonings available in this era.
Xu Congyi had made Korean hot sauce the day before. Xu Congyi had read a lot of recipes before, and there were many ways to replicate the sauce of the crab stew in Brothers, but no matter which one, Korean hot sauce was needed, so Xu Congyi found a recipe for homemade Korean hot sauce and planned to try it.
According to the recipe, Xu Congyi prepared two apples, an onion, a piece of peeled ginger and a head of garlic, and used the food processor in the space to beat them into fine mud. Xu Congyi replaced the cooking wine and light soy sauce in the recipe with white wine and soy sauce, thinking that there should be little difference.
She deliberately came back to the space after dinner to cook. If she were in the kitchen at home, her grandmother and mother would definitely come to help. Xu Congyi didn't want them to be busy all day and then accompany him to make sauce, so she did it in the space. Here, she can focus on every step in her hands without distraction and enjoy the pure pleasure of cooking. Shen Xiao was arranged by Xu Congyi to read in the living room. He sat in a corner of the sofa, his eyes occasionally swept across the busy and focused figure, his heart full of tenderness.
During the production process, Xu Congyi strictly followed the recipe ratio and carefully blended soy sauce, white wine, vinegar, sugar, chili powder and soybean paste in a bowl until the color was uniform. Then, she used the non-stick pan in the space, gently poured in a little oil, and when the oil temperature gradually rose, she slowly poured in the garlic paste. In an instant, the kitchen was filled with an attractive garlic aroma. Then, apple puree, onion puree and ginger puree were also put into the pot one by one. They jumped happily in the pot, releasing a richer sense of layering.
As the heat deepened, the ingredients in the pot gradually blended, and fine and attractive bubbles emerged. At this time, Xu Congyi quickly poured the previously prepared liquid into the pot, turned to low heat and simmered it slowly, while holding a spatula and stirring constantly to ensure that every drop of sauce could be evenly heated and fully absorb the essence of various ingredients. After taking a bite, she found that the taste was quite close, but she always felt that it lacked a little sweetness, so she added a little more sugar and continued to stir-fry. Finally, when the sauce in the pot became thick and almost no water was seen, the hot sauce was ready. Xu Congyi poured the hot sauce directly into a large bowl and kept it for tomorrow.
As for the remaining pot bottom, she suddenly had an idea and decided to use local ingredients to make a spicy fried rice cake fish cake as a midnight snack. So the kitchen became busy again. She quickly turned around and took out the rice cake strips and fish cakes from the locker. She broke the rice cake strips and cut the fish cakes into pieces. After rinsing them with water, she put the two directly into the pot, and then added a little hot water, letting the ingredients simmer directly in the pot. The deliciousness of the fish cakes and the softness of the rice cakes were intertwined in the pot. During this time, Xu Congyi scooped another spoonful of hot sauce and put it in. The rich aroma of the sauce filled the kitchen. The color of the hot sauce was bright red and attractive. As the spatula turned, the hot sauce gradually penetrated into every gap between the rice cakes and fish cakes, covering them with a bright coat and giving them a richer taste and layering.
As the stir-frying continued, the ingredients in the pot gradually became bright red and extremely tempting. Xu Congyi sprinkled in a handful of green onions and a little white sesame seeds as embellishment.
"Brother Shen Xiao, come for supper!" Xu Congyi called out in the direction of Shen Xiao. Shen Xiao had already smelled the fragrance, and when he heard Xu Congyi calling him, he couldn't wait to go to the kitchen.
"This sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce that I made myself. It's just right for stir-frying rice cakes and fish cakes. You can try it!" Xu Congyi handed the chopsticks to Shen Xiao and started eating.
When the first bite of rice cake is put into the mouth, the soft and glutinous texture, the rich sweet and spicy taste, and the delicious taste of fish cake instantly bloom on the tip of the tongue, making people can't help but taste it one bite after another.
"What a unique taste!" Shen Xiao couldn't help but praise, "If Wen Hao tasted it, he would probably ask you to buy the recipe again."
Xu Congyi also thought it tasted very good, which made her more confident about making the sauce tomorrow.
