Hello everyone, welcome to my food Q&A. I am a creator in the field of food: "Focus on food and make life more flavorful." Speaking of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, it can be said to be the signature of the Fujian region, which is mainly famous at home and abroad for its luxury.
Dozens of precious ingredients are simmered together in a pot, and the aroma is fragrant. The most important thing is that it must be cooked with Fuzhou's unique Gushan old wine.
Its difficulty lies in: fine selection of ingredients, appropriate foaming, careful soup making, appropriate seasoning, and appropriate heat.
All five are indispensable.
The ingredients are carefully selected - there are nearly 30 kinds of ingredients alone, and there are more than 10 production processes. The detailed ingredients of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall include: shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber, pork belly, fish lips, pig trotters, scallops, duck gizzards, pigeon eggs, and hens.
, duck, mushrooms, ham, pig fat, sheep elbows, winter bamboo shoots, bream tripe, pig's trotters, etc.
The main steps include the initial processing of ingredients, cutting, blanching, rising, etc.
Proper soaking - sea cucumber, abalone, shark's fin, soaking properly is like jumping over the wall: abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, pig's trotters, fish lips, flower mushrooms, etc. all need to go through a series of foaming processes to make.
No oil should be touched during the whole process, so hair extensions are a technical job.
The most time-consuming and difficult thing about Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is the preparation of ingredients in the early stage. In the early days, materials were relatively scarce, so it was even more difficult to prepare dishes that were all made of precious ingredients.
I heard from my master that sometimes we even have to wait three months for a dish.
Even in today's developed world, it takes eight days to complete the first process.
There is a lot of emphasis on making soup - "The tune of an opera singer is the soup of a chef." Without good soup, you cannot make good dishes.
The soup base is the soul of the dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall": Production process: Add an appropriate amount of lard into the pot, add onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, add chicken pieces, duck pieces, lamb knuckles, pig's trotters, duck gizzards, and pork belly and stir-fry quickly
Make it for a while, add soy sauce, MSG, rock sugar, Fujian old wine, bone broth, and cinnamon, cover and cook for 20 minutes, pick out the onion, ginger, and cinnamon, then separate the meat from the soup and serve separately.
Among them, lotus leaf is also an essential part of this dish.
The right seasoning - the right amount of saltiness and lightness is the best. In cooking, no matter which dish, seasoning is the most important. If the seasoning is right, the dish will be delicious.
I don’t need to say more about this.
The heat is suitable - if the fire is small, the fan will be strong, if the fire is large, the charcoal will be removed.
This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Chef dish has rare ingredients, it rises well, and it also has this heat. Its standard is that the fire cannot be stopped, and it must be ensured that the altar is always in a slightly boiling state. It will not work if it is too big, and it will not work if it is too small.
You need to be careful throughout the whole process, and you can’t make mistakes in every step. If you make a mistake, all your efforts will be wasted.
Regarding the luxury of the dish mentioned by the questioner, it may not be considered a thing to modern people, but for those of that era, it was a dish that was unthinkable, and the most luxurious thing about it is that
