Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 398 - State Banquet - Lamb and Radish Stew

Wang Fan is already doing the final finishing work.

As soon as the lid of the casserole was opened, the rich aroma of mutton filled the entire kitchen. As Shayifu Khan just arrived at the door, his saliva was already swirling in his mouth. This made him feel a little unbelievable.

I'm not new to the world, what kind of delicacy can make me drool so much?
Wang Fan didn't notice Shayifuhan at the door. He had already grabbed a handful of green garlic sprouts and put them into the pot, and added a little bit of pepper oil.

Stir gently, and the pepper oil will quickly blend into the soup, while the green garlic sprouts will stick to the lamb chops.

Take out a few pieces of lamb chops and put them into a large soup bowl. The lamb chops are now fully cooked, with a little yellow lean meat and pure white fat, constantly teasing people's visual nerves and endurance limits.

Wang Fan used a spoon to scoop out the soup from the casserole, which was not too thick but not bland at all, and poured it slowly and evenly over the lamb chops.

At that moment, the soup flowed down like a stream, forming a crystal clear film on the lamb chops.

The lamb chops soaked in the soup are flashing with an attractive color, as if silently inviting others to eat them quickly.

Then take out a few olive-shaped white radishes and put them into the soup bowl.

The white radish has been stewed until it is very soft and has a translucent jade color, which contrasts with the tender color of the lamb chops and emits a mouth-watering glow.

The soup is slightly yellowish, with tiny drops of oil floating on it, constantly emitting a mellow aroma.

A few pieces of green garlic leaves are stuck to the ribs, which makes the ribs look more lively with their lush green color.

Shayifu Khan was really convinced this time.

He is now full of curiosity about Wang Fan.

Even if this person started learning to cook since he was born, it is impossible for him to have such profound skills at such a young age, right?

He was a man who had seen many big scenes. Even when it came to the banquets prepared by the province to entertain guests, he had never seen a dish that was so delicious and exquisite, like a work of art.

"Mr. Wang, what's the name of this dish you made? It looks really exquisite."

Wang Fan put the lid on the soup bowl and said, "This is called Lamb and Radish Stew. It's a dish that Chef Hu, the state banquet chef, once made. It has the effects of replenishing qi, nourishing the kidneys and supporting yang, strengthening tendons and bones, and improving immunity. It's very suitable for the elderly."

state banquet!

Well, I haven't seen the world...

When Shayifu Khan heard these two words, he felt that his previous thoughts were a bit too shameless.

Although the provincial level is at the national level, the gap between them is really too big.

State banquet, even he had only seen it on the Internet and in newspapers.

But the old man must have tasted it, but I wonder if there is any difference between what Mr. Wang made and the real state banquet?
If there is a gap, the dish in front of me is already eye-opening. How delicious should a real state banquet be?

Wang Fan had already put another plate of yellow tofu on the tray.

"This tofu is called Dajiang tofu. It's mainly made from goat's milk and soybeans. It tastes sour and sweet, with a rich milky flavor. It's very suitable for the elderly."

Shayif Khan smiled and said, "It's unnecessary for you to tell me. Why don't you deliver it to the old man yourself?"

He has now raised Wang Fan's level to above provincial level and below state banquet level, and his words and deeds have become much more polite.

Wang Fan did not refuse. He would not try to curry favor with high-ranking officials, but being able to cook and explain to such an old scientist made him feel that his cooking skills were not learned in vain.

Wang Fan walked into the house carrying a plate of food. The old man smiled again when he saw him. "Old Lin, are you bringing me some delicious food again?"

Wang Fan felt very embarrassed when he heard this. It was not right to agree, nor was it right to remain silent.

If he agreed to this, even if it was just to get by, he really couldn't bring himself to call a 90-year-old grandmother "big sister."

Wang Fan agreed vaguely, sweat almost breaking out on his forehead.

The other people in the room couldn't help laughing when they saw Wang Fan's embarrassed look, and they bit their tongues hard to stop themselves from laughing out loud.

"It smells so good! Lao Lin's cooking skills have really improved."

The old man's voice was not loud but still clear, which showed that he was still in good health.

Wang Fan quickly placed the tray on the table, lifted the lid of the soup bowl, and introduced: "This is the DJI lamb ribs stewed with white radish and carrots. It's not only delicious but also good for your health. You should try it."

Grandma Wu took the spoon handed to her by Wang Fan, scooped it in the soup bowl, took out a spoonful, blew on it, and slowly put it into her mouth.

fresh.

Even though the old man's sense of taste had deteriorated severely, he could still feel the deliciousness of the soup the moment he took his first sip.

After removing the fishy smell, the white radish is left with only a refreshing taste, and the sweet smell of carrots also adds a lot of flavor to it.

The lamb, which originally had a light smell, was left with only a rich and fresh fragrance after being added with Sichuan peppercorns, black and white peppercorns.

The aroma of meat and the sweet fragrance of vegetables mixed into a mouthful of soup, making the old man laugh as he drank it.

"It's delicious."

Wang Fan felt as if his heart was filled with honey, and he was more excited than ever before.

"The lamb ribs have been stewed until they are very soft. Your teeth can chew them easily. Please try the meat."

It was not known whether it was the aftereffect of Kong Wei De's attack or he could not control his emotions in front of the old man, but Wang Fan was now extremely attentive. If one did not know, one would think he was asking someone for a favor.

Grandma Wu scooped up a piece of pork ribs with a spoon. The ribs had been specially cut to make them easier to eat.

When you put the chopped ribs into your mouth, the delicious aroma that is several times richer than the soup instantly fills your taste buds.

The lamb is indeed very tender. Even the fascia next to the bones has almost disappeared and can be chewed very easily.

The lamb chops are fat and lean, and the milky white fat melts in your mouth effortlessly, transforming into a rich meaty aroma.

The lean pork shreds are already soaked with soup, which not only tastes rich and fragrant, but is also very soft and tender, and can be chewed with just a little effort.

Bai Zongchen and others, who were originally worried, finally put their minds at ease when they saw the old man chewing the meat happily.

The old man seemed to like this dish very much. He picked up the food with chopsticks and started eating it without Wang Fan's persuasion.

After eating two pieces of mutton, he also picked up a piece of radish.

Generally, the radish in this dish is only 80% cooked at most, retaining a slightly crisp texture, but the old man obviously couldn't chew 80% cooked radish, so Wang Fan made it fully cooked.

The fully cooked white radish becomes very soft and sticky, and you don’t even need to bite it. The radish is full of the essence of the mutton soup. One bite of it tastes three times better than the mutton.

The old man obviously liked the taste of white radish. He picked and chose and ate all the white radish in the soup bowl.

Bai Zongchen estimated the amount and couldn't help but look at Wang Fan with admiration again. The amount of this soup bowl was very suitable for the old man. Even if he ate it all, he would definitely not be full.

Eating too much is definitely not a good thing for the elderly. Their stomachs are weak, and eating too much can easily lead to indigestion, which is the culprit of many common diseases in the elderly.
