Watching Sister Pei'er expertly cut the meat into evenly sized pieces, I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. Her movements were fluid and graceful, as if each cut was a carefully crafted work of art. However, once she was finished, I didn't hesitate to push Sister Pei'er out of the kitchen and let her rest in the living room for a while. It seemed to me that Sister Pei'er didn't belong in this smoky, bustling place. Her beauty and elegance seemed at odds with the kitchen's atmosphere, creating a sense of incongruity. Perhaps she deserved to enjoy the beauty of life in a quiet and elegant environment.

Now, let's marinate the meat. You'll need the following ingredients: Pork belly: 500g to 1kg (buy more depending on the number of people grilling; buy less for a smaller group). For the three of us, 3 jin was enough. Choose according to your preference and the amount of meat you're grilling. I recommend choosing a cut with some fat for a more tender texture.

Garlic: 4 to 5 cloves, minced finely for a rich aroma that can be used to flavor food.

Ginger: Select a small piece and chop it into minced pieces with a knife. Use it together with minced garlic to further enhance the aroma of the food.

Light soy sauce: Pour in 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce to provide a salty and fresh taste to the dish and serve as seasoning.

Cooking wine: Adding 1 tablespoon of cooking wine can remove the fishy smell of meat ingredients and add a unique aroma.

Sugar: Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to enhance the overall flavor and make food sweeter.

Salt: Sprinkle half a teaspoon of salt to adjust the saltiness of food and make it more delicious.

Black pepper: Add black pepper according to your taste to add a unique spicy taste and aroma.

Cumin powder: Add cumin powder in appropriate amount according to personal preference to bring out the rich barbecue flavor.

Chili: Depending on your tolerance for spiciness, add 1 tablespoon of chili powder to add a spicy flavor to the food.

Honey: Prepare 1 tablespoon of honey and apply it on the surface of the grilled meat at the end of the grilling process to increase the gloss and bring a sweet taste.

Marinating steps

Prepare the pork belly: Wash the fresh pork belly thoroughly. Gently scrub the surface with a brush to remove any stains and impurities. Next, blot any excess moisture with absorbent paper to dry the meat. If you prefer thinner slices, you can slice the pork belly thinly, but be mindful of your knife skills to ensure consistent thickness to avoid affecting the texture.

To prepare the marinade: In a spacious bowl, mince the garlic cloves and mince the ginger. Set aside. Add appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt, and appropriate amounts of black pepper and cumin. Stir well to combine. The marinade is ready. This unique marinade allows the pork belly to absorb the flavors of the various seasonings during the marinade, adding a unique flavor.

To marinate the pork belly: Evenly coat the pork belly chunks or slices with the prepared marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated and fully absorbed by the marinade. Then, place the marinated pork belly in a sealed bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate. The longer the marinade, the more flavorful the pork belly will be. Marinating for 4-6 hours, or even overnight, is recommended for best results. However, since I enjoy dipping the meat on the grill, I personally prefer to marinate for a shorter time to avoid an overly salty dip. This ensures the meat retains its flavor without being overly salty.

Notes during pickling:

1. During the marinating process, it is important to ensure that the marinade is evenly applied to each piece of meat to ensure that each piece of meat absorbs enough salt and flavor, making the flavor of the entire dish more uniform. This requires patience and carefulness, and cannot be sloppy.

2. If time permits, marinate the pork belly for a longer time to allow it to absorb the flavors of the marinade. Generally speaking, a longer marinade will result in a richer flavor, but this should be adjusted based on personal taste and actual conditions.

3. While marinating, you can choose to cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place the meat in a sealed bag to maintain the moisture of the marinade and prevent odor contamination from the refrigerator. This will help maintain the freshness and flavor of the marinade and prevent the odor of other foods from affecting the taste of the pork belly.

After the pork belly was marinated, the beef and beef heart were marinated in the same way. Looking at the lettuce, eggplant, and potatoes that Wei'er had washed, I suddenly had an idea and decided to stir-fry some minced meat to use for the roasted eggplant later.

"Sui Sui, what other dishes do we need to prepare?" Wei'er stared at me and asked. "Then please peel two cloves of garlic so that you can wrap them with the meat and enjoy them together when you grill it. After peeling the garlic, wash a few green peppers." I answered Wei'er with a smile.

现在要炒制一份美味的烤茄子肉酱,需要准备以下调料:30毫升香辣酱、10克白糖、15毫升橄榄油、5克黑胡椒粉、10毫升辣椒油、2瓣大蒜和1根葱。

First, heat the oil in a wok. When the oil reaches 70% heat, add half the chopped scallions and garlic and stir-fry until a rich aroma is released. Next, add the minced meat and continue stir-frying until it changes color and is cooked through.

Next, lower the heat to about 30% oil. Add the spicy sauce and stir-fry until it releases an alluring red oil. Then, add the freshly fried minced meat to the pan and stir-fry over medium-low heat, ensuring the minced meat fully absorbs the spicy flavor and becomes more tender. Finally, add an appropriate amount of sugar and stir well, allowing the sweetness to blend with the other flavors.

This is how you prepare a delicious, fragrant and delicious stir-fried eggplant and meat sauce. It can be paired with a variety of dishes, adding a unique flavor. Whether used as a side dish or a seasoning, it will delight your taste buds.

After the meat sauce was stir-fried, I thinly sliced the garlic and chopped the green chilies and onions into the desired size. All the prep work was complete. Now, it was finally time to grill! Since this was a residential area, grilling over charcoal would produce a lot of smoke, and charcoal wasn't practical inside. So, we opted for an electric griddle. It's true that interstellar technology has revolutionized life. Previously, on Blue Planet, using electrical appliances outdoors required either long wires or a power bank. Now, a simple solar panel placed under the pot can power an electric griddle for a month, making it incredibly convenient for outdoor activities. Not to mention that a griddle, an appliance you don't use every day, has a much longer battery life. Once all the ingredients were brought out of the kitchen, our barbecue adventure officially began. The meat was placed in the pot, and a sizzling sound was heard as it hit the hot pot. The clashing of the meat and the fiery pot released a unique meaty aroma.

"Okay, Professor Pei, the general situation is what I told you. We will set off from Ceres in two days. After arriving at Snow Star, we will rest for a day and then go to the hospital for examination. I will trouble you again for the follow-up. Okay, Professor Pei, goodbye." Seeing Sister Pei'er on the phone, Wei'er and I spoke in low voices. Now that she hung up the phone, I hurriedly called Sister Pei'er to come over for barbecue.

"Sui Sui, your barbecue is very similar to the barbecue outside, but it is also different. How do you eat it?" Wei'er asked while swallowing her saliva.

"First, take a piece of lettuce in your hand, then pick up a piece of meat and dip it in some dipping sauce. Place the meat on the lettuce, then pick up a piece of garlic slices, green pepper slices, and chopped onion and put them on the meat. Wrap the garlic slices, green peppers, and onions with the meat and eat them together. It won't have a spicy taste, but will instead stimulate the aroma of the meat, giving the meat and the other ingredients a different flavor."

"Wow! How interesting!" Wei'er said excitedly. She followed my example, picked up a piece of meat and wrapped it up, took a careful bite, and then said happily, "It's delicious!"

Sister Pei'er also started wrapping them. After taking a bite, she praised them highly: "It tastes great, Sui Sui, your cooking skills are amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment! But this is not my credit, it's the baking tray's credit. It can automatically adjust the temperature and heat so that the food is baked to perfection." I explained with a smile.

"So magical?" Wei'er asked curiously, "What else can it make?"

"It can also make grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, grilled vegetables, etc. It can grill anything you can think of." I introduced proudly.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Wei'er exclaimed, "Can we try it ourselves?"

"Of course!" I agreed readily, "But be careful not to burn your hands."

So, Wei'er and sisters Pei'er began to choose their favorite ingredients and put them on the baking tray. After a while, all kinds of aromas filled the air, making people salivate.
