Chapter 518: Spicy Crab
Stiffen your scalp, pinch your nose and taste a chopstick, and this crab stinks, the meat is very delicious, even better than other river crabs, and the meat quality alone is not worse than a third-order demon beast sea crab that she has ever eaten.
The simpler the original method of such delicious ingredients, the more it can retain the original delicious taste of the ingredients, but unfortunately it is too smelly, and simple steaming obviously cannot remove these odors, even if the effect of adding deodorized seasonings is not obvious.
If steaming is not suitable, try the heavy flavor.
Mo Qiqi rummaged through the cabinet and found a bunch of spices, selected more than a dozen kinds of them and grinded them into powder, and then slaughtered the crabs, washed them, tasted them with spirit wine, soaked them for a while, dried the water on the crab with a small breeze beam, and then smashed the tongs, chopped them into several large pieces, accompanied by ginger and onion wine, and their own special spices to marinate for a quarter of an hour, and then scooped up and controlled dry.
Then take a pot of hot oil, first add spices and fry it to get fragrant, then put the crab in, fry it until golden brown, and remove the oil.
After repeatedly using the condiment to remove the smell, she tasted it, and there was no obvious fishy smell, but it was still lacking, and it smelled like a crab that was not too fresh.
After all, this kind of crab is not a precious ingredient, she tossed it several times, and the condiments she spent can buy a lot of delicious crabs, if you have to calculate the price, it is obviously not cost-effective.
But people just want to taste things they haven't eaten.
Looking at a pot of fried golden-colored crabs, she hugged her arms, thought about it, picked a few red oranges from her portable medicine garden, and broke a bunch of red orange twigs.
This kind of orange is small and the meat is not delicious, but the orange peel and leaves are quite fragrant, and she occasionally found it, and collected two plants and planted them in her own medicine garden as a preparation spice.
Because the aroma is too strong, it will always overshadow the original taste of the ingredients when used for cooking, she is personally a person who prefers to taste the original delicious taste of the ingredients, and is not very keen on a lot of condiments, and always feels that if you put a lot of ingredients, there are many spices, and a lot of meat tastes similar, and what you eat is spices, not food, which is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Therefore, after she discovered this kind of red orange, she tried it several times, and found that no matter what ingredients it was put in, it tasted like this, which was really not her favorite, so she simply put it on the shelf.
It suddenly occurred to me that this aroma might be something thick, wouldn't it be suitable for covering the fishy smell of this crab?
So I started another pot, put a little oil and fried some spices and spicy firewood, and cut a few small red oranges, and put a few orange leaves into it, after stir-frying the fragrance, put the fried crab into the pot, add a little stock to stew it, so that the crab is more flavorful, and then collect the soup and taste it.
After such a toss, I can't smell the original taste of this crab at all, the meat is very tender and smooth, after peeling it out, and then dip it in some soup, the taste is not bad.
I took a look back at it, and I always felt that it was still a little lacking.
So he killed a few more crabs, and after they were cleaned, they were marinated in spirit wine for half a quarter of an hour, scooped up to dry the water, and cut them directly, this time not marinating them with those spice powders.
Got up the oil pot, threw the green onion, ginger, spicy and red orange leaves into it and fried it until fragrant, and then fried the crab until the crab turned red, cut a few red oranges, and threw it in with the belt meat, without stock, only added some water and simmered for a while, so that the spices and spicy smoke could be flavored.
When the fire arrives, as soon as the lid is opened, the smell of fresh fragrance comes to the face, the red orange completely integrates the original fishy smell of the crab, and it is not the taste of red orange in the mouth, only a faint sweet and fragrant fragrance, as if born a pair.
Mo Qiqi took a tong, peeled out the meat and tasted it, the meat was quite tender and smooth, because the wine was added when cooking, compared to the previous steaming, there was more tendon, very refreshing, although because of the addition of spicy firewood, the whole belongs to a heavy dish, but after entering the throat, the mouth will be flooded with a unique sweetness of seafood.
That's the taste!
Mo Qiqi high-fived, recorded this recipe, in the past, whenever she invented a new dish, the system would always be very dutiful to record her newly invented recipe, and recently it is quite dereliction of duty, Mo Qiqi does not call it silent, and it may not be silent when it is called.
Or do it yourself to be more abundant.
After that, she tried to add or decrease spices according to the recipe, and found that the spicy flavor with red oranges was the most suitable for this dish, so she processed all the crabs that were only left in a basket, threw them into the pot, boiled a large pot of spicy crabs, and shared them beautifully with Bian Hongjun and several people in the same company.
Of course, this beautiful is only her and Bian Hongjun, this little spicy taste is naturally not a problem for Bian Hongjun, who is suffering from the fire all the time, but whether other people can eat spicy is still the same thing, from the dense sweat beads that came out of one or two heads, you know that this meal is not easy.
After eating, Bian Hongjun wiped his hands and mouth, rinsed his mouth again, returned to an elegant and decent appearance, and asked her: "It's not the first time I've come to Xilancheng, I've always heard that this kind of crab is quite unpalatable, but it is so delicious when made by your hands, I think you have any unique secret recipe, can you tell me about it?"
Mo Qiqi shook his head, and rejected him righteously: "You have said it, it is a unique secret recipe, how can you say it casually?"
Bian Hongjun is a businessman after all, the inns and restaurants of the Bian family are all over the immortal cities of the Yuxing Continent, the cost of this kind of crab is very low, not to mention that it can be completely made as delicious as Mo Qiqi, but it can be made like about seventy percent, and it can be regarded as a special dish if it is sold in the restaurant.
Then he said: "If you don't plan to open a restaurant or something." This unique recipe may not be very useful to you, so why don't you resell it to me?"
"Resale?" to the spirit stone, Mo Qiqi immediately changed his words: "Oh, that's okay, but I can only provide the formula, a condiment or something, and you have to collect it yourself." ”
"That's nature. "The restaurant of the Bian family, what kind of condiments are available in the whole continent, and it can't be collected, it's not a big problem.
So Mo Qiqi happily threw the unique secret recipe he had just developed to him, and also bought one and got a few free with a few slightly lighter flavors.
