Hello dear, I am happy to answer your questions!
Zhao County in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province was called Zhaozhou in ancient times. Salted donkey meat in Zhaozhou has been a local delicacy since ancient times. Donkey meat restaurants are popping up all over the streets. No wonder some people say that if you don’t eat salted donkey meat, you are not in Zhaozhou.
Zhou Yuanwai’s donkey meat shop is located on Shita Road, known as the tourist avenue. His donkey meat barbecue is a local specialty. The skin is crispy and the meat is so rotten that you can’t stop eating it.
Zhou Yuanwai Donkey Meat has its own meat shop, which uses the original ecological Zhou Yuanwai brand donkey meat produced by Shijiazhuang Hanni Trading Co., Ltd. as the meat source. Meat donkeys only eat natural wild grass and do not eat artificial feed. They are pure and green. The boiled meat adopts the unique process of Zhaozhou’s traditional salted donkey meat without adding any chemical additives.
In addition to the well-known "hundred-year-old soup", the master chef of the stove relies on "stewing" to win. Before putting the donkey meat into the pot, first spread a layer of donkey bones on the bottom of the pot to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Then put the donkey meat soaked in water into parts of the pot, then put in the secret seasoning bag, and then use an iron grate to press the meat into the soup. Lower the heat and cook over high heat until it is six times cooked, then remove the heat and let the stewed soup slurry cook. There is no lid on the pot during the whole process. The four-finger-thick donkey fat floating on the soup forms a natural lid, allowing the fishy smell and moisture in the donkey meat to escape.
After long-term simmering, the flavor is absorbed from the outside to the inside. After the cooked meat comes out of the pot, it will be rosy in color, clear in texture, soft and tender, delicate in texture, lean but not woody, and mellow and delicious.
It is an excellent dish that goes well with wine and rice.
Compared with traditional donkey meat shops, Zhou Yuanwai Donkey Meat looks trendy and Western due to its different business philosophy. The donkey meat sold freshly in his house is grilled and the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, with a mellow taste. Master Shi is the chef of this donkey meat shop. He said that the method of grilling donkey meat in the store is derived from the unique flavor of Hejian's "big fire grilled with donkey meat". On this basis, it is also adapted to the tastes of modern people. Innovation.
The baking process of Huo Shao Pi is entirely done by hand. After the dough is kneaded, it is stretched into a long strip, coated with oil, then rolled up into strips, pinched with glue, rolled into a fire dough, and put into the oven for 20 minutes. When grilled, there will be a layer of crispy skin on the outside, which is very crispy when bitten into your mouth. Donkey meat is made from alternating fat and lean rib meat, which is the most flavorful part of donkey meat. This part is easy to taste and very delicious.
Because the store has a bright kitchen and a bright stove, diners can easily watch the entire process of making donkey meat. I saw Master Shi take out the freshly roasted meat, use a knife to cut it flatly from the middle of the roasted skin, and chop the donkey meat, donkey intestines and stewed meat into pieces on the vegetable pile. If diners request, green chili peppers can also be added. Stuff the minced donkey meat into the fire, and a fragrant donkey meat will be cooked.
In his restaurant, diners can taste three different flavors of donkey meat grilled on fire. One is pure donkey meat, one is a mixture of donkey meat and braised seeds, and the third one is pure braised rice. The prices are eight yuan, six yuan and four yuan respectively. I feel that the key to whether donkey meat is delicious when grilled is the stew rather than the meat. It is best to choose a mixture of donkey meat and stew. One bite is indescribably beautiful. It is best to eat Huo Shao with a bowl of local mixed noodle soup. Take a bite of the fragrant Huo Shao and drink a light sip of mixed noodle soup. It seems that the taste of old Zhaozhou is all here.
I hope my answer can help you! Please adopt
