This new year is really delicious (17) Pray to the heavens and burn the elbows

Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as the Birth of Heavenly Gongsheng, and is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, the highest god in the Celestial Realm. Legend has it that the Jade Emperor is the highest god who dominates the Three Realms and represents the supreme heaven. In the old days, the worship of the Heavenly Father was very solemn, starting from the early morning of the ninth day of the first month and continuing until dawn. On the eve of this day, the whole family must fast and bathe, and every household is in front of the main hall, placing the eight immortal tables, setting up an altar, preparing lamps and offerings, and holding worship in a solemn and reverential mood, asking for the blessings of the heavens.

Today we are going to do a hard dish - pot roast elbow, learn from Cheng Weihua, the grandmaster of Chinese Lu cuisine and president of Yantai Cooking and Catering Industry Association!

To make a pot roasted elbow, first use the pork knuckle with green onion, ginger, peppercorns, large ingredients, soy sauce, cooking wine sauce, sauce and cut into large pieces. Mix the eggs and starch into a hard paste and spread over the sliced elbow meat. Slowly fry them in 80% hot oil piece by piece, fry them well, then fish them out, then heat the oil to 100% and fry them again. The elbows fried in this way are golden in color, and the outside is burnt and tender on the inside. Use a knife to cut the fried elbow into sections and plate it, and remember to dip it in tiger sauce made with sweet noodle sauce and garlic.

The outer burnt and tender pot is ready to burn the elbows, have you learned? Taste the food, appreciate the New Year customs, "Such a New Year is really delicious" see you tomorrow!
