Braised Lion's Head?
When they heard the name of the dish, not to mention the fans in the live broadcast room, even Little Rotten Ball's head was buzzing.
Su Yu picked up a white plastic bag from the ground and everyone stared at it. Little Fur Ball covered its mouth in disbelief, its face filled with shock.
“？！”
"F * ck, did I hear wrongly? Braised Lion's Head!"
"Brother Yu, don't scare me. Wasn't the lion a protected animal? Where did you get this from?!"
" Hey, Brother Yu, it's one thing for you to eat protected animals, but you don't have to livestream it for us…"
"Streamer, I want to report you! You actually ate protected animals! You said that you only need to eat some chicken, duck, fish, and meat. The lion is so cute, how can you eat the lion's head!”
Su Yu almost burst out laughing when he saw the crazy bullet comments on the screen.
He had forgotten that the people of this world had never heard of this dish, so when he heard the name, he thought that he had really cut off the lion's head to cook.
"This lion's head isn't a real lion's head. It's just the name of this dish.”
Su Yu explained as he took out the pork belly from the plastic bag. "Of course, braised lion's head has another name. It's called Four Happiness Meatballs.”
"The entire dish is made of pork, so everyone doesn't have to be nervous.”
It wasn't until everyone saw the white pork that Su Yu took out of the bag that they realized they were overthinking.
"Brother Yu, why do you call it Lion's Head when it's made from pork?”
"That's right, that's right. Just now, I was so scared that I almost called the host to report him.”
On the side, Little Roasted Ball also stared at Su Yu curiously, wanting to know the origin of this strange dish.
Su Yu thought for a moment. Lion's Head's origin was actually based on the history of his original world. Now that he was explaining it to everyone, he had to change his words.
"Lion's head can be traced back to a long time ago. I can't remember which dynasty it was. This dish had first appeared at a banquet in ancient times. Because it looked like a lion's head, it had been given this name.”
"Before Lion Head, it had another name, Sunflower Meat Slash! The origin of this name was actually based on the production and material of the dish.”
So that was the case.
She didn't expect the name of a dish to have so many stories behind it.
Everyone nodded.
Little Fur Ball started to doubt life.
History? When did this happen? Why didn't he know?
Was it because he was a slacker?
Yes, yes, that must be the case. It seemed that he would have to study more history books in the future. Otherwise, when this guy casually cooked a dish, he would definitely be ridiculed if he did not understand it.
He came back to his senses.
Su Yu had already taken out all the ingredients to make the lion's head and placed them on the table.
Because of the time of the live broadcast, he planned to only cook one main dish tonight. He could wait until the next time to make the beef strips.
The entire table was filled with ingredients.
The streaky pork was clearly fat and lean.
Water chestnuts were also known as winter bamboo shoots in some places. Their scientific name was water chestnuts. They were a seasonal vegetable in winter. It could be eaten raw, and the texture was crisp and incomparably sweet. Of course, it could also be used as a dish.
Two eggs.
Sweet potato starch.
Cabbage, red goji berries.
Onion and ginger.
These were all the raw materials needed to make the lion's head.
Ordinary ingredients were easy to find, but Su Yu couldn't find sweet potato starch even after searching the entire market.
Although this thing was small, it looked dispensable. However, it was often used when making many meat dishes and gravy. Therefore, Su Yu would use this ingredient in his cooking.
The production method was actually quite simple.
So, Su Yu took advantage of his boredom in the afternoon to make it.
The sweet potatoes that he bought were washed clean of the soil outside, then cut into pieces and put into the juicer to add an appropriate amount of water to stir.
When all the sweet potatoes were beaten into a white pulp, the machine was shut down.
He used a white gauze to filter the sweet potato dregs. After filtering the remaining white juice two or three times, he let it stand for fifteen minutes.
At this point, the originally turbid white water began to separate. The top became clear water, and the bottom was white starch.
He poured away the water, took out the solidified starch, cut it into small pieces, and finally dried it.
In the afternoon, Su Yu made five pounds of starch.
This was enough for him to use for a long time in the following days.
With everything ready, Su Yu began to make the first dish of the night, braised lion's head, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
From the corner of the pork belly, he cut off a piece of white suet.
He had specially chosen this when he bought the meat today.
He wasn't going to eat the fat directly, but he was going to refine it into pig fat.
Lard was one of the most important ingredients of this dish.
This was related to whether the meat of the lion's head would be fragrant and delicate!
Sorry for the late update.
