Hello everyone! Welcome to Amanda Tastes!
Today's video is a bit special
because it is the time of year for the World Cup
there are lots of friends over at my house watching soccer and eating barbecue.
See here they are
Actually during the last World Cup
I was watching with a lot of German friends
and we had barbecue at that time
so I thought we had to eat some skewered food while watching soccer
So today I will share with everyone how we skewer some food
Now I will tell everyone how I prepped the ingredients
First the most important is skewered lamb!
You can choose sheep hindquarters
and the best ones are those that have fat and lean meat
Cut them into small pieces
And then we have pork belly
You can cut these into thick slices
There is a small technique to put a layer of scallion slices under the meat
onion is another option
This can act as marinating seasoning for the meat
Stick the meat on the skewer
If you are using wooden ones
it's best to soak them in water first
thus preventing them from charring on the barbecue
It's not easy to penetrate the pork belly
and be careful not to poke yourself
Do the same for the lamb
It important to know that in every meat kebab
there has to be at least 2-3 pieces of fat meat
That way the meat kebab will taste delicious and juicy.
You can put all the meat together
Next is chicken feet (palm)
Because there is a piece of cartilage in the feet
there will be a lot of resistance when penetrating it with the skewer
Carefully avoid the bone when you work with it
and again don't hurt yourself
For the vegetarian dishes I have potatoes
after skinning cut them into pieces
and put them on the skewer
Do the same with the pineapple (skin and de-seed) and cut it into thick slices
and put it on the skewer
Pineapple tastes pretty good after grilling it
and it helps ease some of the greasy tastes
We also have steamed buns
cut them into thick slices
and put them on the skewer
Most importantly, don't forget about the marshmallows!
It's a pity to not have marshmallows when you are eating barbecue!
You can only put one on each skewer
and put them on the very tip of the skewer
Besides the kebabs
we can also prepare a garlic sauce
since we will use in in a lot of the other ingredients
All the garlic prepared has been skinned
Crush the garlic and put the paste in a small bowl
add some light soy sauce
Here I used the entire bulb of garlic
and about 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce
Next we add some of my special oyster sauce
I used about 1-2 tablespoons
and just mix it thoroughly
Now we can prepare the charcoal
it takes a while to burn the charcoal
so you will need to prepare ahead of time
Did everyone watch the barbecue video from before?
I use flammable charcoal
because it's easier to use
But this time I'm using wood charcoal
It needs an ignition process
but it will last longer than regular charcoal
You can prepare this ignition bucket
put some wood charcoal on the bottom
add the ignition piece
or alcohol piece
and light everything on fire
The add more wood charcoal on the top
but don't add too much
There must be air circulation in the charcoal pile
Put it aside and wait for it to burn
and return to prepare the ingredients
Now the charcoal has been burning for a while
When you will notice that the charcoal does not have an open fire
and they are becoming red
move them into the oven
So for the meat dishes, I have prepared
chicken skin, lamb skewers, pork belly, cattle ligament, and chicken feet
For the vegetarian dishes we have
corn, gluten, chives, needle mushrooms, shii-take, steamed buns, potato, and eggplants
There will also be clams and oysters later
For the sweets we have pineapples and marshmallows
These are enough to eat
so now we can start grilling!
Everyone might be familiar with barbecue
so I don't need to talk much here
Just grill it on the rack
Brush some oil and sprinkle some salt,
cumin powder, and chili powder
also peppercorn powder and white pepper
It really depends on what flavor you like
Don't grill the lamb skewers for too long
but the pork belly can be grilled for a longer time
Grill them until they are sizzling
Don't grill the cattle ligaments for too long
or they will be too hard to chew
It's the same for chicken feet
but you can grill the chicken skin for longer
Grill them until they are crisp for the best taste.
Next we have the vegetarian dishes
You can put chives, needle mushrooms in these small tin foil containers
Put a spoonful of the garlic sauce from before
add some oil, and let them cook slowly
Then add salt, cumin powder, chili powder
stir every now and then
Next we have the eggplants
You can put the entire thing onto the fire
and just remember to flip them ever so often.
They need a bit longer to grill.
After a while the eggplants will be soft
then you can move it into a small tin foil container
and slice it open using a wooden skewer
After opening it, add some garlic sauce from earlier inside
and add whatever flavoring you like
Grill it until it starts to bubble
Now the eggplant will be soft throughout
Lastly just add some chopped green onions and it will be ready to eat
Grilled eggplants is something I must eat
and I strongly recommend everyone else to try it
Also we have the clams mentioned from before
The clams will spit sand out after soaking them in salt water
Now they are dried and put into this small tin foil container
I also added some rice vermicelli noodles in
add a spoonful of garlic sauce
If you have beer you can also add some in
Again add salt, cumin, and whatever flavoring you like
Mix them ever so often
and they are ready to eat once it opens up
Clams are really popular
and they will instantly be gone after grilling
Also, we have the oysters mentioned earlier
After opening the oysters set them on the grill
add some garlic sauce
salt, cumin
some oil
Before eating sprinkle some chopped green onions
Oysters are also really popular
so be quick when you are grill oysters!
Don't forget about the marshmallows
Do not grill them directly on the grill
but suspend them
and turn them often
Grill until the marshmallows expand
and the surface starts to tan
Now it will have a fluid-like texture inside
I think that everyone will love it if you try it.
Next will be the main food
like steamed bun pices
You can brush some oil on the bun pieces
and toast it with salt and pepper or cumin
Or you can do it my way
and put a small slice of cheese on it
grill until the cheese is soft
and add a toasted marshmallow piece
This will taste very fulfilling.
Okay that ends today's episode
I don't know if everyone likes watching this kind of video
But if you are all interested
while watching soccer with friends
you can have a barbecue party.
I must resume watching soccer and eating barbecue with my friends
See you all next week! Bye bye!
