Chapter 320 Potatoes and Chinese Cabbage in Braised Fish
In fact, these big bones are not expensive, and even people in the countryside can afford to eat them occasionally. However, few people buy them because the taste is not very good. Whether it is used to make soup or stew, there is not much meat flavor, and a lot of oil and salt are needed to cook them.
Especially Mrs. Zheng, who has hardly bought any in recent years. In her words, who would eat such food? There is no meat at all, what's the point of eating it? If you want to eat it, eat big pieces of meat!
Of course, the Li family had not eaten meat in these years, so Li Mingxia had no idea what Old Mrs. Zheng liked to eat.
"After chopping the big bone, just add water and boil it directly. No need to add oil or other seasonings. After the water boils, put some salt in. Wait until it boils again and you can drink it." Li Mingxia threw the bones into the pot piece by piece, pouring water while explaining the method to Li Mingyu.
Li Mingxia was a little worried that his simple cooking method would make Li Mingyu think that the bone soup was not tasty, so he said, "You will know when you try it after it is cooked. This soup is white after it is boiled, and it tastes good even if you just add salt. In this winter, you will feel cold all over after a walk outside. Drinking a bowl of bone soup will warm you up."
Li Mingyu didn't know what Li Mingxia was thinking. She was just staring at the bone soup in the pot. She didn't doubt Li Mingxia's cooking skills at all. As long as Li Mingxia said something was delicious, it must be really delicious. She had to learn how to make this bone soup so that she could make it for her father when she got home. There were only her and her father in their family. A bone cost only one penny, so she could have two delicious meals with it!
Such a thought made Li Mingyu feel happy, and his eyes became even more passionate as he looked at the big bone soup.
"Let's not cook rice tonight. It's too cold today. Let's have bone lump soup." Li Mingxia knew from the look on Li Mingyu's face that she must be looking forward to the big bone soup. With an idea in her mind, she said.
Who wouldn't like a little girl who believes in herself unconditionally and wholeheartedly? Even if I originally planned to teach her one or two things, I now want to teach her more.
"Is it made with bone soup?" Li Mingyu was indeed very interested and asked immediately after hearing this.
Li Mingxia nodded, "Yes, it is made with bone broth. You don't need a lot of white flour. Nine parts of black flour, mixed with a little white flour, will do. The noodles made with this method are delicious and have a good texture. With the bone broth with salt, you don't need to add any other seasonings when making it. You just watch me while I make it. It's very simple. You are so smart, you will definitely learn it right away."
Li Mingyu nodded excitedly and watched Li Mingxia's actions more seriously.
"This is easy. I'll make you another braised fish. It's a little complicated and uses more ingredients, but if you want it to taste good, you can't be stingy with the oil and salt. There are two of us, you and my second uncle, and you make money every day, so eating a little is no big deal." Li Mingxia took out a smoked fish from the cellar and said to Li Mingyu while preparing it.
Now Li Mingyu also realized that Li Mingxia was afraid that she would not be able to cook the things she sent to her, so the dishes she made today were specially designed to teach her.
Li Mingyu was deeply moved and read more seriously. He was no longer embarrassed to ask questions when he wanted to.
"Can this be eaten directly by steaming?" Li Mingyu asked after watching Li Mingxia quickly process the fish and smelling the smoked aroma.
When the Li family's old house was still doing well in the past, they also made bacon. Li Mingyu also got some of it. She remembered that the meat was just steamed in a pot and eaten directly. It tasted delicious. At least for little girls like them who only saw meat a few times a year, it was a rare thing.
Li Mingxia nodded and said, "Yes, you can just steam it in the pot and eat it, but this smoked fish is different. The taste of what I make is different from that of the old house, and the method is also different. As long as it is handled well, it is not inferior to fresh ones."
Li Mingxia had spent countless efforts to develop this kind of smoked fish. He would feel a little unwilling if he just steamed it and ate it as cured fish.
When Li Mingyu heard that the dry and shriveled thing in front of him, which was obviously in the shape of cured fish, could taste like fresh fish, he was still shocked even though he unconditionally believed in Li Mingyu.
"Is it really as good as fresh fish?" Li Mingyu couldn't help but mutter.
Li Zhengde, who was concentrating on making fire, smiled when he heard what Li Mingyu said and said, "Yes, I think it tastes better than fresh fish. You will know when you taste it when my elder sister makes it. We all like it very much!"
After hearing this, Li Mingyu, who had no doubts in the first place, immediately said, "Can you teach me this, Sister Mingxia? My father loves to eat fish the most!"
In the past, when they were at the Li family's old house, someone would occasionally catch fish, but Old Mrs. Zheng didn't know how to cook it, so there was a fishy smell. Although it was meat, people like Li Dalang who were not short of oil and water were not keen on eating it. But Li Erlang could eat more. Li Mingyu knew that Li Erlang would like the fish even if it was not cooked that well.
Li Mingxia nodded, carefully explained each step to Li Mingyu, and made the braised fish on the spot for Li Mingyu to see.
Because Li Mingyu and Li Erlang were there today, Li Mingxia did not sprinkle coriander on the braised fish as usual, but just garnished it with some chopped green onions before serving.
"I put some cabbage and potatoes in the fish. I've served some for you. Try it and see how it tastes." Li Mingxia took a small bowl from the side, which contained a few pieces of potatoes, a few slices of cabbage, and two pieces of fish.
Whether it was the fish, potatoes or cabbage, they were all wrapped in the braised sauce, which looked very appetizing. When he got closer, the tempting aroma kept coming into Li Mingyu's nose.
"No, no, Sister Mingxia, no one has eaten yet, how can I eat it now? I can tell from the smell that this fish must be delicious!" Li Mingyu's admiration for Li Mingxia is simply blind. Is there anything that Li Mingxia can't do? Even this kind of cured fish can be made to smell as good as fresh fish meat, which is really amazing.
"Just eat if your sister tells you to. There are no outsiders here. What are you afraid of? You are not an ignorant child."
