A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

"Brother Yi, it's done."

"Brother Yi, we're done peeling."

The reports from the skinning team and the meat cutting team sounded almost at the same time.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai had finished peeling off the red willow branches, and put them neatly together one by one.

And Wu Lei also finished cutting up the leg of lamb, and cut them into mahjong-sized pieces.

Seeing this, Li Yi waved his hands and said, "Put on meat!"

Boom! Boom!

A plate of lamb shanks and a plate of lamb tail fat were put together.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai also brought the iron sign and the red willow sign.

"The meat should be worn vertically so that it doesn't hang down. First wear a piece of lean meat, then a piece of fat meat, and then wear two pieces of lean meat."

Li Yi taught them how to thread the meat, and soon, a string of mutton skewers with three thin and one fat was neatly placed on the tray.

Taking an iron skewer, Li Yi stacked the sliced ​​liver and sheep tail oil on top of each other, with the sheep tail oil facing outward, and put them on the stick together.

After wearing more than a dozen strings, Li Yi stood up and signaled: "You put them on first, I'll go and roast these."

"good!"

Everyone was waiting for his words and nodded.

Holding the plate of skewered meat, Li Yi came to the stove.

Put the prepared grill on the stove and put some charcoal inside.

Li Yi picked up a piece of charcoal with a tong, turned on the stove, it burned red quickly, and then put it into the oven.

Soon, the charcoal was ignited, and the temperature of the oven increased.

Dispersing the ignited charcoal, Li Yi put the skewered meat skewers on the grill, neatly stacked them, and turned to look at the soup barrel.

The temperature of the soup bucket has gradually risen, and it has begun to roll slightly in the middle, with a thin layer of foam floating on the edge.

The better the quality of the mutton, the less foam there will be. It can be seen that the meat quality of this mutton is definitely not bad.

Using a spoon to beat out the insignificant scum, Li Yi added some salt to the soup bucket, and threw a few grains of Chinese prickly ash and pepper.

Good lamb doesn't need too much seasoning at all.

Onion, ginger, and cooking wine are all seasonings for removing fishy smell, and none of them are needed.

Good mutton with a pinch of salt, as long as the mutton is good enough, you only need a pinch of salt to season it, and you can't stop eating it.

After beating the foam, Li Yi put the lid on the soup bucket and turned down the heat slightly.

Then, he smelled a strong smell of mutton.

Zila!

It is the rich aroma of fat dripping on the charcoal fire.

The smell was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, and it dissipated instantly.

Soon, everyone in the back kitchen could smell it.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Wu Lei exclaimed, raised his head, and looked at the stove.

Several other people also stretched their necks, watching eagerly.

"Don't worry, it's not good yet!"

Li Yi returned to the stove, picked up the stick, and looked at the part facing down. It had just appeared a little yellowish, and oil had just started to ooze out, while the meat facing up still maintained the tenderness of raw meat.

Holding a handful of mutton skewers in one hand, Li Yi dipped the downward facing parts left and right, letting the roasted fat spread on the upward facing parts, avoiding waste, and also applied a layer of oil to the meat skewers , making it easier for the meat to lock in moisture.

Flipping the meat skewers, dipping them in oil left and right, Li Yi freely controlled the heat of the barbecue.

Barbecue is the most primitive dish and the first dish learned by human beings.

It is barbecue that distinguishes primitive humans from beasts and embarks on the road to the top of the food chain.

Barbecue is the simplest dish, you only need to cook the ingredients to eat.

But grilling is also the most complicated, because it represents the most essential heat.

One centimeter more and one centimeter less is the difference in the thickness of the ingredients.

One more piece of charcoal fire, one less piece of charcoal fire brings about temperature changes.

Roasting for one second longer, or one second less, will produce subtle but clear changes in the ingredients, which will affect the texture and taste of the ingredients.

Even though Li Yi has learned so many dishes, he dare not say that he has fully mastered the skills of barbecue.

However, compared with ordinary chefs, his control over the heat is already at the level of a master.

As he turned the meat skewers, drops of fat fell, and then turned into fragrant smoke and dispersed, making the back kitchen full of swallowing saliva.

Finally, Wu Lei and the others couldn't sit still anymore, they all gathered in front of the stove, staring at the barbecue in Li Yi's hands, drooling.

"Are you ready? Brother Yi?"

Wu Leihou asked anxiously, unwilling to move his eyes away.

"Don't worry, it's still close."

Li Yi pinched some cumin and lightly sprinkled it on the barbecue.

When the cumin powder is heated, the rich aroma bursts out instantly.

"Smells good!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but let out a low cry, and then closed her mouth.

Her saliva was almost brought out.

"This cumin smell is absolutely amazing, it's so sensational."

Huang Xiaoming supported his waist, he felt that the rice noodles that he ate at noon had already turned into water, not a single drop was left, his empty stomach was begging him for food, he wanted to fill the emptiness with delicious mutton skewers.

"It's almost there?"

Wu Lei smelled the tempting fragrance and was already anxious to jump up.

"immediately."

Li Yi held the meat skewers with both hands, dipped them in each other, so that the cumin powder was evenly wrapped on the meat skewers, and asked, "Do you want chili?"

"want!"

Everyone said something in unison.

"That's slightly spicy."

Li Yi squeezed a handful of peppers and sprinkled them on the meat skewers.

The thin chili noodles fell on the sizzling meat skewers, melted into them instantly, and hung on the meat skewers, adding a touch of fiery color to the meat skewers.

"Ready? Are you ready?"

Wu Lei put his hands behind his head, clamped his head, and moaned.

"OK OK."

As Li Yi said, he picked up a pinch of salt, sprinkled it on the meat skewers, then dipped it casually a couple of times, took it off, put it on the tray, and complained: "Look at you guys being so anxious. When the audience saw it, they thought I had starved you for three days and didn't give you anything to eat!"

No one paid attention to him, everyone stretched out their hands to the tray, each took a few skewers, and finished dividing the meat skewers.

"Leave a string for me anyway?"

Li Yi was helpless.

"Here, this string is for you."

Liu Yifei handed him the extra string in her hand.

Li Yi looked at Wu Lei who was stuffing two skewers in his left hand and one skewer in his right hand, shook his head, took the meat skewers from Liu Yifei, and said with a smile, "I'll roast it for you again."

"Sha! Huh!"

Wu Lei had already pulled a piece of mutton off the skewer with his teeth bared, gasped, and ate it into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, he was immediately conquered by the soft meat and the gushing sweet juice.

"Wow! So tender! So fragrant!"

He seemed to have been given an injection, his brows were frowned, and he looked in pain, but in fact he enjoyed it to the extreme.

Huang Xiaoming also ate a piece of meat, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "This lamb...why is it so tender? Oh my god!"

The taste of this mutton completely subverted his perception of mutton!
