Bab 96: Lamb in orange sauce
ShirAli decided to cook mutton with orange according to a Chinese recipe. He wanted to experiment. Replace some of the products with local ones, add and remove something. Shir Ali loved to experiment in the kitchen! Sometimes he got masterpieces, and sometimes only he could eat food. Since his grandmother, BibiAli, always criticized him when he was spending food. She made him eat it all! She wanted to teach him how to value food! During the Second World War, she was starving, as all the food was sent to the front to the troops. And people received only 100 grams of bread and some vegetables.
BibiAli remembered this feeling of hunger even after 80 years. Therefore, she taught her grandchildren to protect food and treat food with great respect.
Shir Ali therefore tried since then to cook food correctly, since in case of failure he would have to eat this food himself. A somewhat tyrannical relationship reigned in the family. Elders are always right, even if they are wrong. In that part of the east where Dara and ShirAli lived, it was an indisputable truth!
When ShirAli went to the kitchen, Fang noticed that in his city, for example, they use locusts as a medicinal product. The locust head was added to the soup and it helped heal wounds from tumors and heal bone fractures.
On the. that Dara, noticed that in their region, they used a magic tool that came through the millennium.
Fang. Magical You? I do not believe!
Dara But it is so! This is a natural formation, of different colors, from brown to black, with a different texture from solid to grainy. It contains plant, mineral and animal impurities. It looks like a resin.
Fang. What are the names and properties?
Dara Mummy. This substance, diluted with milk, stirred. The taste was very specific. Local herbal grandmothers believed that this was a panacea for all ills. Doctors treated with some skepticism, but did not see a big problem in this. Later, even doctors recognized the ability of the mummy to treat fractures, even complex ones!
The composition of "mummy" contains a large number of various trace elements. Mumiyo promotes the regeneration of liver cells.
Fang. Wow! We can get rich!
Dara Well, this is also one of the interesting areas of business!
Meanwhile, ShirAli was already in the kitchen.
Since time was short, Shir Ali decided to speed up the process of pickling lamb. He poured thinly sliced pieces of meat with sparkling water. Thanks to the gas in the water, the meat was marinated for 40 minutes, it became soft and tasty.
In the meantime, ShirAli began to cook products for cooking. If you want to cook food quickly, you need to carry out preparatory work. Prepare all kitchen tools and products. Put them in piles. Prepare the hob.
Then it remains only to get the products and mix them in the right proportion and time.
There were several oranges in the refrigerator drawer. Shir Ali, mashed the fruit. Cut off the top, poked the flesh with a fork and began to squeeze the juice. The result was a glass of orange juice in 200 ml.
He took one bowl of corn starch and sifted it through a sieve to change the structure of the starch. Make it airier.
I poured some sesame oil into the bowl.
Grated a small pot of Indian light greenish ginger, it has a more astringent taste and a sharper aroma than Thai.
He chopped the floor of the bowl of the peel of the orange, having washed it well beforehand.
Jagged celery, half a bowl. as much root celery. As well as half a bowl of dried slices of orange, mandarin, grapefruit, sour and sweet apples.
Half bowls of purple sweet onions.
On the floor of the bowl - white and red sweet carrots, California pepper - red, yellow, green (traffic light).
Three tablespoons of soy sauce.
In a pot, ShirAli mixed orange juice and soy sauce until a homogeneous mass was obtained. Poured starch into a thin stream. Stirred so that no lumps formed.
About an hour passed while he was preparing, washing and slicing the food. Shir Ali drained the water, dried the meat. And then added to the pot with sauce. Gently mix the pieces of meat in the sauce.
From above, he pulled the cling film and put it on the street, it was cold enough there.
After ShirAli, he took out the pride of Dara, a steel pan of the Turkish company Fearless with a double bottom. He warmed up, added a little oil, ginger, orange peel. As the fragrance went, Shir Ali laid the pieces of lamb that he had brought in from the cold. Fried them on both sides until the meat acquired a golden color pleasing to the eye.
Then pour the sauce remaining from the pickle, add the prepared vegetables and mix. Added ginger, mint, cumin, pepper and salt. He put it on a small fire, and, when ready, removed it from the fire.
He brought it to the dining room, put a silicone stand on the table, and there, right across the peasant's bowler hat. He removed the lid, the room quickly filled with an amazing aroma.
It was a scent of sunshine, warmth, joy. All already full inhabitants of the stomachs again emitted roars of hunger. But this time, Dara and Shir Ali did not count the birds and immediately began to eat! Shameless guests came running to them with spoons, they also wanted to try delicious meat.
Satisfied with Dara and ShirAli, they allowed the guests to eat the remains of their feast. Baraz happily licked the sauce off the cauldron, while Fang ate and praised the lamb.
Fang, who traveled all over Asia, added that he would make soup with miso, lamb, and vegetables.
What Dara smiled at, probably Fang has not yet eaten up, and he will have to treat him with sausage from meat cooked in tandoori!
Now it remained with ShirAli to discuss his work in his new restaurant or cafe, which could be located next to the farm store. They could start selling his new tea already. So Dara would fulfill the condition of the Grandmother, provide work for her relatives, help the poor, who were hit by the crisis and at the same time make a profit from the rich!
ShirAli, after eating, learning new cooking methods, was now ready to discuss the details ...
