Chapter 6: Talking about food
I think everyone will have their own unique opinions when it comes to food. Some people define delicious food as gourmet food, and some people call good-looking food gourmet food. I also have my own opinions on food.
I think what can be called gourmet food must firstly make your mouth feel comfortable eating it, secondly make it feel comfortable for your eyes to look at, and thirdly, it must comply with environmental protection concepts while maintaining its original style and characteristics. Some people may think that my requirements are too high. In fact, there are many such delicacies in China, we just need to explore them carefully.
What still remains fresh in my memory is a documentary I watched the year before last, called "A Bite of China." In the documentary, I saw many delicacies with unique ethnic characteristics that I had never seen before. I remember one of the dishes called "Aromatic Pork Lotus Root Slices", which definitely met my gourmet standards at that time.
To talk about this delicacy, we must first start with its main ingredient, lotus root. Although I am also from Jiangnan, I have never seen so many lotus roots scattered in patches. When the harvest season comes, people will be hired to dig, and only those who are familiar with the technology can dig out long and intact lotus roots. Local people say that only undamaged lotus roots can make "aromatic meat lotus root slices" retain their original taste.
Not only must the main ingredient, lotus root, be intact, but the chef’s knife skills must also be at a certain level. After washing the lotus roots, first cut the lotus roots into discs, then break a slit on the side of the discs, gently stuff the previously prepared minced meat into the slit, and then use moderate force to close. After finishing them one by one, arrange them on the plate according to the shape you like, add some necessary ingredients, and then put them in the steamer. First use high heat to dry the water, then use low heat to warm it. It is said that this method can promote the delicious taste of the meat to penetrate into the lotus root slices, which is called delicious. It not only has a light fragrance, but also has a fresh color. It is environmentally friendly and has its own characteristics. I really want to try it if I have the chance.
