Chapter 481 Beef Tendon Balls
After buying the ingredients he needed for today, Heath returned to his dining car. There are several ways to make beef balls. One of the simpler ones is to use a ball mill to beat the beef into minced meat, and then use the minced beef to make it. However, Heath was also interested in the method used in the God of Cookery, so he planned to give it a try.
Originally, this job is particularly suitable for Farfetch'd or Charmeleon. For Farfetch'd, it can exercise Farfetch's arm strength, and at the same time allow Farfetch'd to understand some of the mechanical work of a chef. This is very important because any job has its own fun and boredom, just like some game studios. Many people may think how happy it is to play games every day, but for those who treat games as a job, playing games is not a happy thing, but a rather boring and tedious thing.
The same is true for chefs. Some work is procedural and repetitive, but chefs have to do it.
As for giving it to Charmeleon, it is simply because Charmeleon likes to exercise, and it certainly wouldn't mind exercising itself by beating beef.
But now these little bastards are playing games all night to decide who is the boss. Heath now wishes he could find a brother Jack to show them how brave they are. However, looking at the tired Pokémon, Heath sighed and knew he could only do it himself.
There are many ways to make beef balls, and peeing beef balls are one of them. However, Heath is not planning to make peeing beef balls this time, but Chaoshan beef tendon balls.
The preparation methods of Chaoshan beef balls and beef tendon balls are actually very similar. The only difference is that some beef tendon needs to be added into the beef tendon balls to make them chewy and elastic. However, the current Chaoshan beef balls are actually divided into two categories. One is purely handmade beef balls, and the other is machine-made beef balls. There seems to be not much difference between the two, but in fact the difference is very large.
The Chaoshan beef balls feature a characteristic that they can bounce high when they fall to the ground, just like in Stephen Chow's movies, they are very elastic. However, this kind of beef balls often need to be made by hand. If they are not hand-beaten, the beef balls will be more or less lacking. Although machine-beaten beef balls are fast to make and save manpower, they cannot achieve the special effect of hand-beaten beef balls. Although Heath does not quite understand why this is the case, it does not prevent Heath from making this special beef balls himself.
Beef balls require beef leg meat. The beef here is the most suitable for making beef balls. Other parts can also be used to make beef balls, but they are still a little bit different. This subtle difference may determine the final quality of a meal.
"But making beef balls seems to be quite easy." Heath looked at the beef that was flattened by a stick and couldn't help falling into deep thought. When he was traveling in Chaoshan before, he had seen others demonstrate how to make beef balls by hand. It can't be said to be very difficult, but it is only slightly easier than Sanbuzhan. If a piece of cut beef leg meatballs wants to be made like Heath's, it must be hammered dozens of times at least, but Heath flattened it with one blow.
"Forget it, I guess it's because the people in the Pokémon world have different physiques." Heath shook his head, holding the stick in both hands and began to beat the beef leg in front of him vigorously. After just five minutes of pounding, Heath felt that it was basically done. After all, it really couldn't be any more delicate.
But the fast hammering speed is also a good thing. Heath began to make this unique beef tendon balls according to the standard process. However, since there was no fish sauce, Heath did not add this seasoning. The taste is definitely worse than the authentic Chaoshan beef tendon balls, but there is no big problem eating it in this world.
"It seems like I have to make some fish sauce next time, but fish sauce is... too picky." Heath looked at the beef tendon balls in the pot and fell into deep thought. Heath didn't really like fish sauce. It had a unique taste , but it was an essential condiment in many dishes. However, there was no fish sauce in this world, so if Heath wanted to make it, he had to make it himself.
However, Heath also plans to buy some ingredients and make some shrimp paste, which tastes pretty good.
The beef tendon balls cannot be cooked for too long. It is best to take them out shortly after boiling. Otherwise, if they are cooked for too long, they will not be smooth to eat. Heath scooped out some, took a bite, and then nodded with satisfaction. The beef tendon balls tasted very good. Although they were a little hot, they would definitely taste better if they were paired with some dipping sauce or something.
Heath's food truck has also arrived at the place where Heath sets up his stall every day, but because there is no breakfast today, there is still more than an hour before the students start school.
Heath yawned with his chin tucked in. The leaves in Deep Gray City had begun to turn yellow in autumn, and the cool autumn breeze made Heath shiver uncontrollably. Although he had only been in Deep Gray City for a few days, Heath felt that it was almost time to leave. Heath planned to leave Deep Gray City after today's business was over, and then go directly to Ziyuan Town.
Just as Heath was thinking about his future path, he saw a familiar person, or three to be exact.
"Sister Feng!" Heath waved happily, but then his mood became heavy. He knew what Sister Feng was going to do. Sister Feng was definitely going to Kuye City to take up a position in Kuye City and become the captain of Junsha there. However, Kuye City was not as peaceful as Changqing City.
"Heath, I'm in a hurry to catch the plane, so I won't have breakfast." Sister Feng said to Heath with a smile. Sister Ling beside her also had a smile on her face. Only Jun Shaling, who was always calm, had a melancholy look on her face.
"Sister Feng, try the beef balls I made. You can take them away now." Heath did not give up. It was so cold in the morning and Sister Feng had not had breakfast, so a bowl of steaming hot beef tendon balls would allow Sister Feng to stay warm while going to work in Dead Leaf City.
Sister Feng was ultimately unable to change Heath's stubbornness, so she could only walk over quickly, take away three servings of beef tendon balls, and then hurriedly leave with Jun Shaling and Jun Shaling.
Heath watched in silence as Sister Feng and the others left, then he let out a long sigh. Heath planned to go to Vermilion City after arriving in Ziyuan Town. Anyway, there was no need for him to walk through the cities in order, and it was also fun to skip around occasionally.
