Buddha jumps over the wall, not the name of a food, but the smell of this dish. When Buddha smells it, he will jump over the wall. The Buddha jumps over the wall, which started in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, first appeared in 1877, with a history of 14 years.
if there is such a Buddha jumping wall in a table of food, the whole level will be improved and it will play a long role in entertaining guests.
in the traditional Buddha jumping wall, every ingredient is rare and precious. The earliest Qing dynasty was made of sea cucumber, squid, cinnamon and fennel, which were simmered in clay pots.
Now, to make a Buddha jumping wall, the choice of ingredients is not fixed, but seasonal or local seafood and vegetables are selected to combine.
Let's talk about how to make a high-end version of the Buddha's Leaping Wall:
The ingredients are Tianjiu wing, dried abalone, gelatin, dry sea cucumber, old hen soup, duck Jane, duck breast, ham meat, mushroom, river shrimp, clam, fresh pork belly, pig's feet, pigeon eggs, winter bamboo shoots and scallops.
to put it simply, shark's fin, fish glue and sea cucumber need to be soaked in advance, boiled and fished out for later use. Cook a pot of old hen soup as the base soup. Seafood ingredients are soaked in boiled water. Pork bellies, claws, ducks and treasures should also be watered in advance to achieve the purpose of maturity. Stir-fry duck breast with scalded pig ingredients, add seasonings such as soy sauce and cinnamon star anise crystal sugar, and add chicken soup to stew for half an hour.
pigeon eggs peeled, dried mushrooms and scallops were soaked in advance, and the crock was taken out and the ingredients were added layer by layer. Put ginger slices on the first floor, bamboo shoots on the second floor, ham slices on the third floor, mushrooms on the fourth floor, old hens on the fifth floor, shrimps and clams on the sixth floor, freshly stewed ingredients on the seventh floor, fish glue on the eighth floor, shark's fin on the ninth floor, abalone on the tenth floor and sea cucumber on the eleventh floor.
pour in the carved wine and the stock that was previously stewed, cover and boil, then simmer for about four hours on low heat, and you're done.
this is the famous Buddha jumping wall, the production process is absolutely super complicated, and the ingredients are also very expensive. This dish is not only for the Buddha to abandon Zen and jump over the wall to find out, but also its nutritional value is extremely high. Especially suitable for local tyrants who are not afraid of complicated procedures, rich and willful, and men and women who like to make up soup.
In fact, not only the rich can afford this dish, but we ordinary people can also eat it often, but the choice of ingredients is mainly seasonal vegetables, and seafood and shellfish are seldom taken or not taken.
for example, I live in the northeast, and there is a Buddha jumping wall in the northeast, but the most common ingredient is frozen tofu and cabbage vermicelli. It sounds a hundred thousand miles away from seafood and shark's fin, but for ordinary people, economy and nutritional value are the most important.
The production of the Northeast Buddha Leaping Wall is simple, but it is not so easy to stew these three ingredients with good taste. Five out of ten chefs in Northeast China can cook excellent flavors, which are all rare.
Let's talk about the nutritional value of this dish. Frozen tofu has the function of absorbing oil and promoting digestion. vermicelli is a product of starch, which is a kind of food with strong satiety, and dieters can use it to increase satiety. Not to mention cabbage, besides being rich in vitamins and protein, it can also increase resistance, promote digestion and excretion, and has the effect of detoxification, so it can be used to prevent and treat acute and chronic infectious diseases.
Rich people have their own way of eating, and people without money can also eat delicious food, mainly depending on their mood and who they eat with.
