Chapter 188 Steel surface and burning nest

The combination of fat and meat is always an irresistible temptation for humans.

When Li Yi fried the oily meat toppings, Wu Lei and others couldn't stand it when they smelled the aroma.

"I'll try a piece of meat and taste it for you."

As Wu Lei said this, he came forward with chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai watched helplessly as he pinched them for the second and third time.

"Are you going to finish eating?" Zhao Jinmai looked at him and complained.

"Ha ha!"

Wu Lei took back his chopsticks with a smile: "This meat is so fragrant, I can't help it."

Liu Yifei stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and took a bite.

She ate kebabs and hand-caught mutton yesterday, and she was aware of the deliciousness of this mutton.

But the topping of oily meat stir-fried in oil gave her a completely different experience.

Kebabs and hand-caught lamb both have the original taste of mutton, but these toppings come with side dishes.

The fragrant lamb has the refreshing aroma of green pepper and the aroma of onion, ginger and garlic, and the pot is full of flavor.

And during the marinating process, Li Yi added some potato starch to the mutton, which also gave the mutton an extra layer of crispy shell, just like pot-roasted pork with very little starch.

In addition, during the frying process, Li Yi added a spoonful of mutton soup, allowing the small crispy shell to absorb the deliciousness of the soup and absorb more flavors of seasonings, making the oily mutton richer in flavor.

.

After tasting the oily meat, Liu Yifei also understood why Wu Lei couldn't stop using his chopsticks.

Because she also wanted to eat a few more pieces.

This meat is so delicious!

Seeing them eating one piece after another, Li Yi stopped him and said, "Just try a few pieces. After eating it in a while, there will be no toppings for the noodles."

Hearing what he said, Liu Yifei and the others reluctantly stopped using their chopsticks.

Seeing that they were still unfinished and their eyes were still looking towards the plates, Li Yi arranged a job for them: "The water will boil soon. Take out the noodles and you can eat in a while."

Wu Lei heard this and quickly shook his head: "I don't know how to ramen."

The noodles made by Li Yi are thick noodles that need to be pulled into fine noodles by hand.

This is technical work and cannot be practiced in a day or two.

But Li Yi smiled and said: "This kind of noodles has high gluten and is easy to make. You will know after you try it. I will teach you."

With that said, he opened the plate of noodle dishes, took out a thick noodle pillar, grabbed both ends, and gently pulled it, and the noodle pillar turned into a uniform noodle.

"First pull it like this, then fold it in half, let it hang down naturally, find the middle position, and make the front and rear strands as long as possible, so that it is not easy to break..."

While making noodles, he taught Wu Lei and others.

Liu Yifei saw it was fun, so she took the lead and started learning from Li Yi.

After giving it a try, she discovered that this side was really easy to pull, very flexible, and not easy to break.

"During the pulling process, you can try throwing it on the chopping board a few times to make the noodles more pliable."

As Li Yi spoke, he pulled both ends of the noodles and slammed them on the chopping board several times.

Seeing that he had used so much strength but not even one noodle was broken, Zhao Jinmai and Wu Lei were also moved. They stepped forward and each picked up a noodle and tried to pull it up.

Their hands-on skills were pretty good, and after some pointers from Li Yi, they were able to pull it off decently.

Seeing the slim ramen they pulled out, they became confident and even a little addicted.

Seeing this, Li Yi handed over the ramen work to them, and turned around to continue cooking.

With the division of labor and cooperation, Li Yi quickly cooked the dishes, and Liu Yifei and the others also ordered a pot full of ramen.

Using two red willow branches as long chopsticks, Li Yi stepped forward to pick up the noodles, looked at them, and nodded: "Okay, go ask Brother Xiao Ming to come and eat!"

"I'll call you."

Wu Lei turned around and ran out.

Li Yi took a basin of cold water and placed it beside the pot. Then he asked Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, "Have you ever eaten water or hot pot?"

"Um?"

Liu Yifei didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"

"Ranwozi is nothing but water."

Li Yi explained: “After the noodles are soaked in cold water, they will become more chewy due to the temperature, and the starch on the surface will also be washed away, making them taste smoother.

However, the gluten content of the flour in the Western Regions is too high. If it is cooked through cold water, it will taste too chewy and even a bit hard.

The locals call the noodles that have been soaked in cold water "steel noodles". Generally, only men eat noodles that have been soaked in cold water. They make you feel very hungry after eating them, but they are also difficult to digest.

Girls usually eat Ranwozi cooked directly out of the rice, the noodles will be softer but not as smooth."

Liu Yifei glanced at Zhao Jinmai and asked, "What kind of noodles do you eat?"

Zhao Jinmai thought for a moment and raised his hand: "I want to eat steel-bar noodles! If men can eat it, so can I!"

"Don't be brave."

Li Yi smiled and reminded: "You'll chew your cheeks until your cheeks hurt later. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"real or fake?"

Zhao Jinmai was a little skeptical: "Can you chew noodles until your cheeks hurt?"

"If you don't believe it, just try it." Li Yi spread his hands.

"Then let me try."

Zhao Jinmai was very curious. They were all noodles. Even if they were stuffed with raw noodles, they wouldn't hurt their cheeks from chewing them, right?

Seeing that she doubted her intention to try it, Li Yi stopped trying and asked Liu Yifei, "What about you? What kind of noodles do you want to eat?"

Liu Yifei thought about it and said with a smile: "Please help me choose! Whichever one you think is suitable for me, I will eat."

"clever."

Li Yi smiled and praised, then said: "Then I will help you fish out and light the nest first. If you can eat well, you can try to cross the water later."

Hearing his words, Zhao Jinmai's eyes suddenly widened.

Oops! Misstep!

This is actually possible!

But the bullshit had already been blown, and she was too embarrassed to change her mind.

So, Li Yi first took out a plate of noodles from the pot, and then took the rest of the noodles into a basin of cold water.

Outside the kitchen, Wu Lei also came back with Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming's face was reddish, and he was sweating all over the hot naan pit.

"Are you hungry?"

Li Yi fished out the noodles and said with a smile: "The noodles are ready, just wash your face and come over and eat."

Huang Xiaoming didn't say much, he just answered and went to wash his face.

He walked around the naan pit outside for a long time, and he was sweating from the heat.

By the time he came back after washing up, everyone was already carrying plates of noodles and starting to eat.

"The noodles are there, the food is on the plate, serve it yourself."

Li Yi pointed to the noodles and vegetables on the counter and reminded: "My suggestion is to order less noodles first and try every dish."

Huang Xiaoming came to the counter and looked at the three plates of food, hesitating and not knowing which one to choose.

Wu Lei on the side slurped a mouthful of noodles and shouted at him: "Brother Xiao Ming! Eat fat meat! Eternal God! Believe me!"

Huang Xiaoming thought for a while, then poured some red spicy pork on top of the noodles.

This red pepper looks really tempting.

Carrying the plate, he came to the table and sat down.

"call!"

As soon as he sat down, he heard Zhao Jinmai sigh from the side.

Turning to look at Zhao Jinmai who was chewing with his cheeks puffed out, he asked with concern: "Are you tired? Maimai?"

Zhao Jinmai was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

She never expected that what Brother Yi said was actually true.

The noodles were really chewy and even tasted a bit like Wangzai QQ candy. She didn’t even take a few bites, but her cheeks were really sore!
