Chapter Thirty-Four, Fish Head Soup!
I found a convenient stone, and hit the huge fish head twice, and the bighead carp that was jumping and happy passed out!
Such a big fish is not easy to hold, Tang Fan simply picked it up directly, and returned to the backyard like a child.
Came to the kitchen, found a large basin, began to put water to clean, the scales of this fish are small, it doesn't matter if you scrape the scales or not, but the internal organs and gills still have to be cleaned up!
After disemboweling, Tang Fan was a little disappointed, there was no fish roe, which was considered one less dish.
But it doesn't matter, such a big fish, you can't eat it to death, even if you have fish roe, you have to consider whether to make it or not, and now I'm already very entangled in what to cook.
The fish head is naturally a single dish, and the essence of bighead carp is all on the fish head, and the taste of the bighead carp head in this other world must be even more extraordinary, but it can't be tyrannical.
What makes Tang Fan entangled is the fish, and there are countless dishes about fish, but there are not many suitable for bighead carp.
Tang Fan naturally ate bighead carp, but as a foodie, after tasting the obvious difference between fish meat and fish head, he naturally only ate delicious fish heads.
However, fortunately, he is still a chef, and he knows how to make bighead carp, since other fish can be made, bighead carp will not be made?
The easiest is to chop into pieces, fry them and then braise them!
Isn't this what I do best!
I didn't say it, the fish meat is used to braise it, and as for the fish head, it's even simpler, just make fish head soup.
Bang ~ Tang Fan chopped off the huge fish head with one knife, and then raised the knife and fell, and chopped the huge fish body into small pieces of uniform size with a few knives. The fish head is placed on a plate, the fish meat is left in two catties and put on another plate, and the rest of the thirty or forty catties of fish meat are all stuffed into the refrigerator. Speaking of which, the two new refrigerators I bought the day before yesterday are finally a little useful now.
The newly made four stoves have become dry and hard after two days of drying, and they can also be used.
Deliberately find a new stove, light the fire, heat the oil, add green onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry, and then quickly put the fish head in, and when the fish head is slightly golden on both sides, pour in a large amount of water, put some cooking wine to remove the fish, and then boil over high heat, and then turn to medium heat and simmer, a fish head soup is OK!
Taking advantage of the fact that the fish head soup didn't have to think about it anymore, Tang Fan opened a new stove and began to make braised fish pieces.
Remove from the pot, heat the oil, roll the chopped fish pieces in the flour, and then put them in the pan to fry, because they will be braised later, so you don't need to fry too thoroughly, the skin is slightly charred and the fish is still fresh and tender.
After all the fish pieces are fried, take them out and start the pot again, and then it is time to braise them, braised is Tang Fan's best dish, the steps are similar to those of braised hare, and it is naturally very skilled to do, and compared with rabbit meat, fish is easier to cook, and the time consumed is much less than that of braised hare.
So when the braised fish pieces are ready, another pot of fish head soup is just done.
Gently lift the lid of the fish head soup, a burst of white mist rises, accompanied by a burst of aroma that hits the nose, how to describe this aroma, two words, rich, incomparably rich!
Smell it carefully, there is a faint sweet fragrance! The last time I steamed the hairy crabs from the other world, I also had this kind of sweet smell, and Tang Fan, as a chef, knew that this was the taste that fish, shrimp and crabs would only emit when the meat was particularly beautiful and delicious.
The white mist dissipated, the situation in the pot came into view, the whole pot was white, and the fish soup had become a beautiful milky white, this is because most of the essence of the fish head was integrated into the soup, and the milky white fish soup was surging from time to time with the residual temperature of the bottom of the pot, which was indescribably tempting!
Just looking at the color and the rich aroma in his nose, Tang Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, took the salt and pepper and sprinkled some into it, gently stirred it with a spoon, and then scooped half a spoonful, blew some cool and put it in his mouth......
In an instant, the unique freshness and fragrance of fish burst out in the mouth!!
Coupled with the slight spiciness, which is unique to pepper, an indescribable rich aroma filled his mouth, which made Tang Fan can't help but close his mouth, and can't bear any trace of aroma coming out!
Strands of fish soup slid down his throat into his body, and where he passed, Tang Fan only felt a moisturizing sensation burst out with the fish soup, moistening it along the esophagus from his throat to his stomach, and began to slowly moisturize his whole body!
Soups and delicacies will bring people a sense of moisture, and the fish soup itself is even more nourishing, and the moisturizing feeling brought by this otherworldly fish head soup is not only refreshing to people's hearts, but also penetrating people's hearts, which is really indescribable!
"It's called fish soup!!"
Tang Fan, who was finally willing to open his mouth, couldn't help but let out a sigh. While sighing, the movements in his hands did not stop, scooped a spoonful of fish soup and put it in his mouth, and then closed his eyes again to taste.
In this way, Tang Fan stood by the stove, spoonful after spoonful, and he slowly drank the small half pot of soup until there was no soup left in the pot, leaving only a boiled white huge fish head with a few green onion leaves and ginger slices lying alone at the bottom of the pot.
Smash it, smash it, smash it, Tang Fan, who was still a little unsatisfied, finally set his eyes on the head of the fish.
Most of the essence of the whole fish head has basically melted into the soup, and the fish head has lost its taste, but it still has some edible value, such as the fish brain, the fish lips, the fish eyes, and the best part of the bighead carp head - the gills of the fish! These are still worth eating.
Put the fish head on a plate, Tang Fan picked up the plate and nibbled directly on it.
"Zi Walk~ Zi Walk~"
With the continuous sucking and the fish bones constantly spitting out, Tang Fan's eyes also lit up from time to time.
Just because the taste of this fish head is also more delicious than he imagined.
The fish brain is soft, the fish lips are delicate, and the gills are elastic and soft.
Especially the gill meat, although the gill meat of the ordinary bighead carp that I have eaten before is also good, the entrance is slippery, but the gills of this otherworldly bighead carp are very different, the meat is transparent and gelatinous, and the feeling of eating some pig's trotters in the mouth is like a jelly-like Q bomb!
That taste, I really didn't say it!
And although most of the essence has been lost, all the edible parts of this fish head still have that unique flavor, which is a little more delicious than ordinary fish!
"It's worthy of being a bighead carp from another world, and it really didn't disappoint me!"
After eating the huge fish head, Tang Fan exclaimed in admiration, and his eyes also fell on another stove.
Since the boiled fish head can be so delicious, the braised fish pieces should not be much worse!
