Jiangyin people have a kind of soy products called oil embryo, foreigners called oil tofu, it and oil gluten is not the same, oil gluten is made of gluten made of bran, oil gluten color golden, smooth surface, crisp taste, delicious and delicious. Oil embryos are foods fried with tofu, which are golden in color and white meat inside, delicate and empty, and elastic. It is made by grinding, pressing, frying and other processes. When we were young, we ate less oil gluten, so oil gluten stuffed meat such dishes basically do not eat, probably only in the New Year, the food product store will have a bag of oil gluten per household to sell, we can usually eat is the oil embryo stuffed meat,
Of course, this meat is not pure meat, but a meat filling mixed with cabbage and green vegetables. Oil embryo is produced by the soy products factory, not big, oil butter yellow, golden color, compared to the country oil embryo, much smaller, soy products taste less concentrated, the most important thing is that the oil embryo inside the tofu meat is also much less, and far less than the country oil embryo delicious, although the color of the countryside is less golden, even dark yellow and faint, but should be a sentence "there is a look at the old saying " . Huashi's oil embryo stuffed meat is large, juicy, strong and chewy, and it is truly a delicious meat dish.
Grandma oil embryo bought back, must be a good quality of boxy oil embryos, mix a large bowl of cabbage minced meat filling, with chopsticks in the top of the oil embryo poke a small hole, and then rub a chopstick meat just stuffed in, an oil embryo can be stuffed with many, many vegetable meat, stuffed enough, and then it will be cooked.
Probably really inseparable from the good of Huashi soy sauce, Huashi people burn oil embryo stuffed meat can not forget the braised, a dozen oil embryo stuffed meat in the braised juice rolling around, is not damaged at all, the oil embryo in the gravy water and the outside of the braised juice water blended together, so the delicious gravy and the fresh flavor of the ingredients into one, all sucked by the huge oil embryo, as if it is a fat doll that has eaten and drunk enough, bulging sacs, fat and chubby.
At this time, the oil embryo plug meat is brought to the table, which is called a pleasing eye: "Oh, so polite, this oil embryo plug meat is too big, eat one can be full", the host has long counted the number of guests, one does not cheat, one per person, that is called a good ah, like crab yellow soup buns, bite a small window, gently suck the soup in the oil embryo bulging sac, that is called a fresh, bite a mouthful of loose and soft cabbage meat, that is called a fat fragrance, and the soft and not scattered oil embryo is after sucking the essence in the juice, Soy products have become meat-like fat soft and fragrant vegetarian meat, and the older ones prefer such a fat and moderate oil embryo.
I have always wondered, obviously oil gluten stuffed meat is more delicious, why did we particularly prefer oil embryo stuffed meat at that time? Later, I thought about it, where did we have so much meat to make oil gluten stuffed meat at that time? Oil gluten look fluffy, a water and meat close together, a pound of meat made out of the oil gluten stuffed meat barely strong a bowl, although the taste is good, but there is really a look at wow,
That's like the oil embryo stuffed meat, a pound of meat is good to burn without collapsing a big mountain and sea bowl, that pile, that style and shrink into a clump of oil gluten stuffed meat is obviously a dry date, a behemoth, look at the oil embryo plug meat comfort wow. Look at the oil gluten stuffed meat, the skin is the skin, the meat is meat, the soup is the soup, an oil gluten down taste is praiseworthy, the oil gluten chewy is also smart, but the soup water is embarrassed to scoop up the food.
That is like oil embryo stuffed meat, there is meat in the skin, the skin is like meat, the soup is soaked in it, so that the fat and soft oil embryo has become a meat dish with full taste, as if it has earned a pound of meat, the juice soup is not wasted at all, and it is evenly distributed to every diner, that is really to be complete, how beautiful it is. It is the meaning that the Jiangyin words "Zha Zhi" and "Zhen Nian" can represent. Of course, in that era, even if you eat oil embryo stuffed meat, it is not an easy thing, but in the New Year, at least in jiangyin Dongxiang area, it must be the main dish of every household, this oil embryo stuffed meat can be put for a long time, it is the most popular dish for hospitality, can't finish eating, put it in the cupboard, in two days there are guests coming, steaming on the steamer, using chopsticks to put the dishes neatly, it is another bowl of good dishes. It is said that at that time, the oil embryo stuffed meat was brought to the table, the family said good, never move casually, but left for the guests to eat, and the guests can not eat at will, must be the host to give you a bowl, you can eat, can not eat one and then another, everyone tacitly abide by this rule, now think it is really funny. To this day, I still love the country's oil embryos and the oil embryo stuffed meat it makes, one is now advocating healthy food, all of which is meat is not popular, and the other is the oil embryo taste and chewiness after the oil embryo is steamed, that is the real childhood taste, childhood memory, that is the lowest dish.
