Chapter 711: Life and Death Love (Part II)
In addition to this live flounder, Liu Mang also found a bag of frozen chicken wings in the refrigerator and brought it from China, using the remaining half of the salted fish.
"Chef, why don't we go to the kitchen of the hotel below and get some ingredients? ”
"Forget it, we'll pay, but it's a bit bad to always trouble others. Liu Mang shook his head and pointed to the various colorful packaging bags on the upper layer of the refrigerator: "By the way, these potato chips are yours?"
"Yes. Shan Jian stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed.
Although I know that this is junk food, as a woman, who hasn't ordered their own little hobbies?
"I'll take some. Liu Mang directly took two bags.
"Ah, chef, do you want to eat it too?" Shan Jian is very strange, Liu Mang has always been extremely picky about food, and it stands to reason that these potato chips should not even be able to read.
"Well, I'll use it for cooking. ”
"Cooking?" Shan Jian was surprised.
"It's not good to eat too much fried food, but it's okay to eat it once in a while. Liu Mang tore open the package of potato chips and poured all the potato chips inside on the board.
"You go and deliver the tea, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Okay. Although Shan Jian wanted to see how Liu Mang cooked with potato chips, she still went out with the brewed tea.
After Shan Jian left, Liu Mang first cleaned the chicken wings, then used a knife to cut a bone-like oblique knife on the wings, and then put them in a stainless steel basin, adding salt, black pepper and other condiments for marinating.
The chicken wings were marinated in a basin, and Liu Mang slaughtered the flounder and bled it, and also hit an oblique knife on the fish.
There are salted fish and fresh fish, and Liu Mang is going to make a special dish tonight.
What I brought from home was a plum salted fish. This kind of salted fish originated in the Zhanjiang area of Guangdi, and is generally made of mackerel, compared with ordinary salted fish, the moisture of the plum salted fish is heavier, and there is a feeling of rottenness.
Liu Mang slapped the half of the salted fish with the back of the knife and changed the knife into square slices. Then stuff it into the cut edge of the milkfish. Finally, put the fine ginger shreds, sprinkle with some white sugar and pepper, and put it in the steamer.
This dish of salted fish and fresh fish steamed together has a very interesting name - life and death love.
"Chef, I'm back. Jane walked into the kitchen.
"How are Brother Lin and Miss Gu chatting?" Liu Mang took a fresh-keeping bag and put the potato chips in it.
"I don't know. Shan Jian shook his head: "Neither of them spoke." ”
"It's a good situation. Liu Mang squeezed out the air in the fresh-keeping bag, sealed the opening, and crushed it with a rolling pin.
"Chef, what are the potato chips used for?"
"Oh, there's no breadcrumbs readily available, so I want to use potato chips instead. ”
"Make fried chicken?" asked Shan Jian, looking at the marinated chicken wings in the basin.
"Yes. ”
The potato chips were crushed, Liu Mang took a few eggs and beat them into egg pulp, put the marinated chicken wings into a dip, and then rolled the potato chips into pieces.
Put oil in a pan until it is 70% hot, then add the chicken wings coated with chopped potato chips and fry until cooked.
"It smells so good!" Shan Jian sniffed, and her eyes lit up.
The color of the potato chips was originally golden, and after Liu Mang's second frying, the color became brighter.
The texture of the potato chips was already crispy, so Liu Mang did not re-fry it a second time like frying traditional ingredients, and only fried it once before removing the oil.
The chicken wings are fried and the fish in the steamer is also time.
Compared with the usual steaming of fresh fish, the steaming time this time is a little longer, about two or three minutes later.
"Chef, the chicken wings are delicious!" When the chicken wings are a little cold, Shan Jian can't wait to pick one up, blow lightly, and put it in his mouth.
The potato chips are crispy, the skin of the chicken wings is very elastic, and because they are not fried too hard, the juice in the chicken wings is preserved to the greatest extent, and the bite is extremely tender.
A spoonful of hot oil is poured over the fish, and the unique aroma of the plum salted fish is stimulated.
"Chef, did you steam the salted fish with the fresh fish?" Smelling the aroma of the salted fish, Shan Jian, who was attracted by the chicken wings, came back to his senses.
"Well, this dish is from Yangjiang cuisine, it was originally made with pomfret, but now it is not, I will try it with flounder instead. ”
"And what's the name of this dish?"
"Life and death. ”
"Huh? That's an interesting name. ”
"It's so fragrant, Lao Liu, is your dish ready?" walked to the living room with fish and chicken wings, and Lin Xiao, who was nervous, hurriedly stood up.
"Simply did it. ”
"Fried chicken wings? Isn't this a KFC routine?" Walking to the table, Lin Xiao was stunned.
"No, the chef's chicken wings are much better than those fast food. Jane's lips shimmered, and she had eaten three in one go.
"Taste it. Lin Xiao picked one up, stretched his hand to his mouth, and immediately stopped again, and handed the chicken wings to Gu Qianyao in a curt.
"Hello~ Try it, Lao Liu's craftsmanship will not be bad. ”
"Okay. Gu Qianyao, who had a tense face, smiled and took the chicken wings in Lin Xiao's hand.
"Master Liu Mang, the breadcrumbs on these chicken wings are so crispy!" Gu Qianyao took a bite and immediately let out an exclamation.
"It's not breadcrumbs. Liu Mang smiled.
"Isn't it breadcrumbs?" Lin Xiao picked up one again and put it in front of him to look at it carefully: "Garlic slices, or cereal?"
"You taste it. ”
"Can't guess. Lin Xiao took a bite and couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a while.
"I can't guess it, it's crushed potato chips. Jane giggled.
"Talented!" Lin Xiao gave a thumbs up.
"What about this dish? What is the name of it? Salted fish steamed fresh fish?"
"Life and death. ”
"Ha! Is that really your name?Lao Liu, did you do it on purpose......" Lin Xiao smiled a little embarrassed.
"No, I don't. ”
"The name of the dish is very good, I like it. Gu Qianyao took a sip of the tea on the table, picked up the chopsticks, and stretched out to the fish on the plate.
"Hmm...... The taste is very wonderful!" Gu Qianyao sandwiched the fish meat of fresh fish, the fish meat in the entrance is fresh and salty, fresh in the front, salty supplement, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet, compared with pure steamed fish, fresh fish steamed with salted fish, there is more breath of the sea, eat it empty, fragrant rap, have a unique taste.
"Miss Gu, you can taste the salted fish on it again. ”
"Okay. Gu Qianyao picked up the salted fish embedded in the fish and brought it to her mouth to take a sip.
The taste of salted fish is somewhat unexpected, probably because the salt is absorbed by the fresh fish, it is not as salty as expected, the meat is not too hard, and the juice from the salted fish and fresh fish is combined with the taste of shredded ginger stimulated by the hot oil, which has a long aftertaste.
"Two different umami flavors, entangled with each other, but like a lover in the world. Could this be the origin of the name of the 'Life and Death Love' dish?" Gu Qianyao muttered to herself.
"Ahem...... ahem" Lin Xiao coughed, also stretched out his chopsticks, took a piece of fish belly from the fish maw and put it into his mouth.
"This tastes amazing!"
