Chapter 90: Abalone and Clams
Looking at the people coming and going outside the window, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the reef, Zhang Yang took the clams he bought before.
Take an iron basin, pour the clams into it, fill it with water and wait until it has overflowed, and put some salt and oil in it.
"For today's first dish, let's make steamed clams with wine, and the first step is to soak them in salt and oil to remove the sand inside. ”
Hearing that the first dish was steamed clams with wine, many people launched a barrage and expressed their understanding.
"Haha, my mother!"
"When I think of steamed clams, I think of the part in the late-night cafeteria. ”
"666, especially the part where Ah Zhang's mother and the three sisters of instant noodles are fighting, six over!"
Zhang Yang naturally understands this paragraph, but he reads novels, after all, TV was also looked down upon at that time.
In the novel, Ah Zhang is a coach in a taekwondo gym, and his girlfriend has also become a little nurse in the hospital, but later he watched the TV series, and the plot is similar.
"Between relatives, there is both love and complaining, the dissatisfaction with life and the fear of powerlessness in the heart, in some people it turns into anger to the closest people, although they know that there is also love in it, but if they don't complain but comfort each other, will each other live more easily?!"
Zhang Yang remembered such a passage in the book review, and simply said it.
"That's right, who can say that my mother is wrong?"
"It's often all about mistakes, and if there is a lack of communication between relatives, the conflict will intensify. ”
"Actually, it's okay, the current society is not as good as before, and the relationship between parents and children is getting more and more harmonious. ”
"My dad and I grew up like this, and we never said anything. ”
Zhang Yang turned the picture in the live broadcast room to the LCD TV, and then turned to his side, while also preparing the ingredients.
Cut the dried red pepper from the middle, squeeze out the seeds inside, pat the garlic cloves flat with the back of a knife, wash the shallots and cut them into small pieces, and at the same time, the clams are also spit out sand.
"Yes, there is no one right and who is wrong between relatives, only the lack of communication leads to mutual incomprehension, okay, the clam is finished, let's wash the pot and heat it and pour the oil, then put in the dried red pepper and garlic, and simmer over low heat. ”
With a 'bang', a thick aroma emanated from the pot, and Zhang Yang casually poured the cleaned clams into the pot.
After tossing twice, I picked up the rice wine and poured it into it.
"After pouring in the rice wine, cover and simmer. ”
Time was not in a hurry, so he simply sat on the floor of the open car door, lit a cigarette and leisurely looked out of the car.
As time passed, the aroma of the pot slowly wafted out of the window, attracting the attention of some people passing by.
"Mom, it's so fragrant!"
"Husband, is it wine?"
"I guess it's the people in the RV cooking. ”
"This kind of life is really enjoyable, driving the RV directly to the side of the road to cook. ”
After estimating that the time was about the same, Zhang Yang got up from the floor, came to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, smelled a faint aroma of wine, poured butter and light soy sauce into it and stirred well, and then sprinkled with the green onions cut in advance.
"Okay, out of the pot, the wine steamed clams are done, this dish is still relatively simple, you can try to make it yourself. ”
Placing the dish on the table at the end, he covered it with a lid to keep it warm, and then he began to prepare the next dish.
This time he took out abalone, and the boss had already helped him remove the shell and clean it when he bought it.
"Abalone is our country's traditional precious ingredients, ranking first among the four major seafoods, the meat is tender and smooth, the taste is extremely delicious, not comparable to other seafood, also known as the 'crown of seafood treasures', known as 'a bite of abalone', the price is still quite expensive, but it is also divided into many kinds.
Abalone is rich in protein, as well as more calcium, iron, iodine and vitamin A and other nutrients, nutrition is 7 times that of Australian walnut, with the ability to nourish yin, calm the liver, strengthen the kidney, can adjust adrenal secretion, has a two-way role in regulating blood pressure. ”
As he spoke, he had already cut the front of the cleaned abalone meat.
"Everyone, pay attention, don't scratch the knife flower thoroughly, the purpose of this is to better absorb the taste, and the other is to make the shape more beautiful. ”
Put the cleaned pot on the induction cooker again, pour cold water, then add the abalone, and pour in a small amount of cooking wine to remove the smell, then turn on the heat.
"It's about 5 minutes, the role of cooking wine is to remove the fish, and then I will prepare the ingredients first, mainly green onions, ginger and garlic. ”
Take out a small piece of ginger, two garlic cloves, and three shallots, cut them all into foam, and put them in a small bowl.
"In addition, let's find a small bowl to mix the sauce, and I use a spoonful of June fresh braised soy sauce, a spoonful of oil, a little salt, a small amount of sugar, and two spoons of water. ”
Hearing a few or a few of these words, many people have a black line in front of their computer or mobile phone.
"A little, so how much is a little?"
"A little, how much is a little?"
"The last time I went with an old man in the village to ask how to marinate sour fish, he gave me a bunch of small and small words, which confused me. ”
"2333, so how did you get it?"
"Just make it like that, depending on the situation, don't say it, it's quite delicious later. ”
Seeing that someone in the live broadcast room was criticizing a small number of words like that, Zhang Yang also smiled helplessly.
"Similar to this kind of quantifier, basically every chef is different, recently personal tastes are different, each chef's practice is also a little different, this amount of people who can cook can probably hear what it means. ”
At this time, the abalone in the pot was almost cooked, Zhang Yang took it out and put it aside for later use, then washed the pot again and put it on the induction cooker, heated the pan again to heat the oil, put in the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic before, and soon exuded a fragrance under the processing of low heat.
"When the aroma comes out, pour in the sauce and stir-fry evenly, like this, and then put the abalone in it. ”
This time, Zhang Yang did not use a spatula, but picked up a pair of chopsticks and carefully turned over the abalone in the pot.
"Be careful when stir-frying, be sure to keep the heat low, and then make sure that every crevice of the abalone meat fully absorbs into the soup. ”
When he was steaming clams with wine before, the big sage guy was already so anxious that he jumped up and down, but fortunately he was quickly appeased by Zhang Yang, but at this time, the abalone was in the pot, and the little guy couldn't help it at all.
Rubbing, he climbed down his flamboyant trouser leg to his shoulder.
"Squeak squeak~~~~"
Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Zhang Yang quickly stabilized his body while stir-frying the abalone in the pot.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't let my saliva flow on my clothes, it's worth the wait, go over there and wait obediently." ”
Here, when he saw that the soup was obviously decreasing, he poured the starch of the water he had prepared before into the pot.
"At this step, if you feel that the thickening is almost done, you can get out of the pot, and then sprinkle some chopped green onions and garnish it. ”
Lay out a slice of lettuce on a plate in advance, then place the finished abalone on top with chopsticks and place it on the table again.
At this time, Zhang Yang took out a sea bass from the bag, and it was cleaned, he only needed to clean it again.
"I saw a little friend buy a sea bass before, just right, I'll make a four-flavor fish later, it's a bit difficult, you look at it, let's prepare peas, fresh corn, salt, cooking wine, starch, Thai sweet and spicy sauce, tomato sauce, pepper. ”
Place the cleaned sea bass on a cutting board, start a knife along the tail and cut the fish diagonally into slices about 6 mm thick.
"When cutting, tilt the blade as much as possible, then put the fish head and fish fillets in a bowl, add the appropriate amount of salt, pepper, and cooking wine and marinate for about 20 minutes. ”
While waiting for the marinade to finish, he put the peas and corn kernels in hot water to cook them, and then mixed the water starch.
"The little yellow croaker was going to make it myself, but when I came over, I saw that there was a ready-made smoked small yellow croaker over there, so I bought a little directly, and by the way, cut some green onions, and ate it later. ”
