I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

Chapter 111 Hot Pot Meatballs

After setting up the shop, Xu Si always felt that there were too few dishes, which were not as good as those in modern hot pot restaurants.

The positioning of mutton spine hotpot is naturally different from the current boxed lunches. The boxed lunches are affordable, but the mutton spine in the mutton spine hotpot alone is not cheap.

Perhaps after winter is over and lamb ribs are hard to buy, we can launch hot pot without lamb ribs. For example, when tomatoes are available, we can launch tomato pot and pickle some sauerkraut to make sauerkraut pot.

The taste of lamb ribs is so unique that if it were launched at the same time, other hotpot dishes would definitely be overshadowed.

People who can come to eat mutton spine hotpot are certainly not short of money, and it would be inappropriate to treat them with cabbage and potatoes.

We still need to develop some new dishes. Of course, if she wants to eat them herself, that's just a side effect.

If you don’t have the conditions to make beef balls, then make fish balls first.

Anyang County has a wharf near the sea, so there is no shortage of fish, and the price is not even expensive.

After all, it’s not officially on sale, it’s just made to test the waters.

Xu Si chose a silver carp, chopped off the head and put it away, cut off the tail and internal organs and threw them to Dahuang and Xiaobai.

After cleaning, place the fish body on the chopping board, cut it in half, remove the fish bones, and leave only the fish meat.

Silver carp meat is particularly suitable for making fish balls because its meat is whiter and more delicious.

Then remove the fish bones from the fish meat and cut it into small pieces. Only use the fish white and not the fish red. This way the fish balls will be more tender and white.

Cut the fish meat into small pieces and chop up the tiny fish bones inside. Put it in a bowl and add a spoonful of salt. Keep squeezing it to remove the blood. Then rinse it with water several times and take it out for later use.

Use a knife to cut the fish into minced meat, add the onion, ginger and water twice until there are no particles, and finally add only salt for seasoning.

Stir the minced meat evenly. During this process, the minced meat will become more and more viscous.

This is because the protein in the fish will coagulate when it comes into contact with salt.

Xu Si stopped for a while and stretched his wrists, which were still a little sore. He couldn't help but miss the meat grinder.

It turns out that technology can greatly liberate people's hands.

If technology is the primary productive force, laziness is a great tool to promote technological progress.

Too lazy to walk, so people invented transportation; too lazy to meet, so people invented letters; too lazy to work by themselves, so people started hiring.

Wasn't there anyone in ancient times who invented something because they were too lazy to mince meat?

There was no point in thinking too much, so she sighed and moved on to the next step.

Prepare two egg whites and beat them until fluffy. Xu Si still used the simple version of the egg beater for making cakes. It's fine if a chopstick can be inserted into it without falling over.

Add the beaten egg white to the fish, add potato starch, and a piece of lard and mix well.

"Xiaoyu, help me pour some water into the pot."

An Yu was squatting on the ground washing vegetables. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "Okay, do you want cold water or hot water?"

"As long as it's cold."

Hold the fish meat in your hand, pinch out small balls from the base of your thumb and squeeze them into clean water.

Then turn on the fire and use low heat throughout the process. Whenever it is about to boil, add some cold water. When it is cooked, scoop it out and put it in a basin of cold water.

"Is this fish ball?" Others took the time to come over and take a look.

White balls float on the water.

"Yes," Xu Si took out one and squeezed it hard. It was very elastic, and even if it was deformed, it would quickly return to its original shape.

She had a sudden idea, and threw the fish ball in her hand onto the table in front of everyone. As expected, it bounced high up, but what was unexpected was the direction it bounced in.

She stretched out Erkang's hand, thinking that she couldn't catch it and it would fall to the ground. However, Shen Anyi reacted quickly and grabbed it when it was still half a meter away from the ground.

Xu Si pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed as he failed to act cool.

The others didn't notice this. Instead, they were shocked that the fish ball could bounce so high. It was incredible.

"It must taste very chewy," An Yu concluded.

Although the fish ball didn't fall off, I still felt something weird after eating it.

So she simply said, "Qining, let you play with it. When you're done playing with it, feed it to the dog."

Qi Ning happily took it, found an open space, and threw it hard imitating Xu Si's movements. When he didn't catch it, he was not disappointed. He ran over to pick it up and continued to play with it with interest.

You can tell at first glance that he is a patient child.

Xu Si couldn't help but think back to before he traveled through time.

She didn't know when it started, but she became more and more impatient. She didn't have the patience to finish a movie, and it was normal for her to watch a TV series at three times the speed and give up halfway. She even didn't have the patience to read her favorite novels.

I don’t want to make any investment, because after investing, if I don’t see the results in a short period of time, I will become anxious. It seems that I save time, but I have not done anything and I don’t know where the time has gone.

Many people on the Internet say that they are the same. They get angry and irritable without realizing it and can't control their temper, even though they obviously don't want to be like this.

But since I traveled through time, perhaps I no longer have the pressure of life, perhaps I no longer have the fragmented online information, perhaps I am away from the fast-paced life, I have a regular daily schedule, I am busy with my favorite career, and I cook the food I want to eat. I feel that my whole body has relaxed.

So nowadays, some people want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and return to rural life, which can be considered as a way of self-salvation.

As for Tempura and fish tofu, the preparation methods of the two are basically the same, except that there are slight differences in the final processing methods.

Choose Basa fish, peel the fish meat and cut it into small pieces. Peel the shrimps and put them together. Continue chopping, adding some onion and ginger water from time to time.

Now everyone's work is not so urgent, so they let Xu Si come alone and take over the task.

Add salt, sugar, pepper, soy sauce, eggs and tapioca starch to the fine fish paste and stir in a clockwise direction until it becomes firm.

Brush oil on the bottom of the mold, pour some meat paste into it and spread it flat, steam it in a pot with boiling water for 30 minutes, let it cool down, remove it from the mold, cut it into squares, fry it in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, and the fish tofu is ready.

Add some extra flour to the other part of the fish paste to increase the thickness and make it taste more substantial.

Put it into a funnel-shaped container wrapped in oil paper, wait until the oil is hot, squeeze and cut it into small pieces, and remove from the pan after frying.

Many people don’t know that hot pot meatballs need to be fried, but generally speaking, the golden ones are fried.

Homemade food is made with real ingredients and is very healthy, but it definitely doesn’t taste as good as food with additives.

Some people say that they can't get used to eating food without additives. In her opinion, not to mention hot pot meatballs, other things all have additives to a certain extent. You can avoid this but you can't avoid that. Just eat whatever you want.

Fortunately, except for herself, no one else has eaten it, so there is no comparison. Just like now, others have picked up the prepared hot pot meatballs and eaten them directly.

It was still Lou Yuexin who controlled herself, keeping a portion and putting the rest away, to try next time she ate hotpot.
