CH.71 Imperfect Crab Meat

Speaking of which, some people may not know. Although www.biquge.info it seems that king crabs and crabs are very similar, this big guy is indeed not a crab.

"Eh, can't you use king crab?" said Catherine, confused.

"If the school is dead, this crab really can't be used. Real crabs have four pairs of legs and a pair of claws, just like these red-haired crabs. But king crabs only have three pairs of legs and one pair of crab claws. So, I don't know if it can be used as an ingredient for this competition. ”

"I know that, but king crabs are crabs. Catherine retorted.

Zheng Ke shrugged, "But the topic of the final is crabs." ”

"Oh, my king crab, you are so pathetic, I can't even use you to compete. Catherine held the king crab up and looked at it pitifully, as if it could understand its own words.

However, since it has appeared in the fish market, it is almost impossible not to be eaten.

"How about I give you these crabs?" Zheng Ke handed the bucket to Catherine.

"No, these crabs are so small. Catherine shook her head.

I'm going, it's not a fight, why do you want to be so big?

Zheng Ke complained in his heart while following Catherine and helping her choose crabs. Eventually, Catherine picked seven or eight snow crabs. And the king crab was also brought back by Catherine, ready to cook a king crab dish in the evening.

Alas, Mr. King Crab is really pitiful.

After entering the school, Zheng Ke and Catherine parted ways.

Whether Catherine will return to Pole Star Liao or Nagi Che Mansion, Zheng Ke does not know, but his destination is very clear - the school's practice room.

After all, there are only 10 days, so every day is extra important.

Crab occupies an extremely important position in Chinese cuisine, and there are many recipes. In contrast, Western cuisine is slightly weaker at this point.

There are also a variety of cooking techniques, such as steaming, boiling, boiling, frying, stewing, and stir-frying, and the dishes made by each method are both beautiful and delicious. Among these methods, steaming is the first to be recommended.

In order to ensure the freshness of crab meat, live crab is generally used when cooking. But in the process, the crab claws may fall off, and even the crab will crawl out of the pot. Therefore, when Zheng Ke was in Chunfangyuan, he saw that the masters would use cotton ropes to tie up the crabs.

It's easy to say, but it's a bit difficult to do.

When Zheng Ke was in Chunfangyuan, he practiced the method of trapping crabs. There was no problem dealing with river crabs. However, the size of sea crabs is generally large, and red-haired crabs have sharp bristles, and it takes a lot of effort to tie them up.

However, Zheng Ke didn't bother too much about these, and simply fixed the crab claws and legs of the red-haired crab with a cotton rope, although it didn't look very beautiful, but I thought the effect was pretty good.

After the crab is washed, he takes a chef's knife and removes the crab gills, crab stomach, crab intestines, and crab heart, with the shell back down, and puts it in the steamer.

After coming to this world, Zheng Ke rarely eats crabs, so when he smells the fragrance coming from the steamer, his stomach growls.

Estimating that the time was almost enough, Zheng Ke lifted the lid of the pot, and the rich fragrance rushed to his face.

After uncovering the red crab shell, the golden crab roe and snow-white crab meat appeared in front of his eyes.

It's delicious.

Zheng Ke picked up the chopsticks and was about to savor them, when he suddenly heard a knock on the window.

He immediately turned around, only to see a student standing outside the window, greeting him.

Zheng Ke opened the classroom door and looked at the person knocking on the window, he was wearing the school uniform of Yuanyue School Park, the suit was on his shoulders, and his tie was also pulled off, looking a little lazy.

Short black hair, good looks, and a tear mole at the corner of his eye.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Zheng Ke looked at the classmate in front of him suspiciously, he was older than himself, and his height was half a head taller than himself.

"Well, classmate, I'm a little embarrassed to say, I haven't eaten yet, I see that you seem to have just cooked the food, can I take a bite?" the man looked pleading.

"Uh...... Seniors, please come in. ”

Zheng Ke glanced back at the fragrant crab and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. In fact, he hadn't eaten much since the morning, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

Fortunately, I made two red crabs this time, so I should have my own, right?

Zheng Ke thought so, but the reality surprised him.

The classmate ate the first crab very skillfully, and in Zheng Ke's surprised gaze, he did not hesitate to eat the second crab into his stomach.

"Senior......" Zheng Ke looked at the crab shell on the plate, wanting to cry without tears.

"What's the matter?" the man looked at Zheng Ke with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't ...... Is it okay?Is it delicious?" Zheng Ke watched as the classmate threw the last crab leg onto the plate, his heart dripping blood.

"Oops, forgot. I'm sorry, I just remember eating. The man scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. Zheng Ke reluctantly laughed twice.

"Still, the heat is not bad. Also, I'd like to make a small suggestion that if you have a dipping sauce, it might taste much better. ”

Dipping sauce? I really forgot to prepare this. And, he said, what's the deal with forgetting the taste?

Watching the classmate leave the classroom, Zheng Ke fell into deep thought.

The crab is fresh and delicious, normally, it is impossible not to eat it, and looking at the way the person left, it seems that he was not full in the end. In that case, why didn't you taste it?

Zheng Ke decided to try the crab himself.

After lifting the lid of the pot, Zheng Ke quickly took out the crab, then put it on the plate, opened the crab shell, the crab roe was like gold, and the crab meat was like snow. The rich fragrance is mouth-watering.

It's obviously the best delicacy, but how can it not have a taste?

Zheng Ke couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put the crab roe into his mouth, which was as delicate as cream and tasted like crispy sand, comparable to fish roe.

Crab roe is a substance that only female crabs can have, and the composition is basically the same as crab eggs, but it is not a simple crab egg, but contains organs, glands and other substances, which is very nutritious.

"It tasted good. Zheng Ke muttered to himself, and picked up another piece of tender crab meat.

The fragrance is sweet and luscious, melts in the mouth, but has a faint fishy smell.

However, after eating two bites of crab meat, Zheng Ke also discovered the problem.

The steamed crab is delicious and delicious, but it is also a little bland. Ordinary people may think it's a delicious dish.,But as a student of Yuanyue School Park,It's normal to feel boring.。

If even the students of Yuanyue School Park can't be satisfied,The judges and teachers will definitely feel bored.。

However, today is only the first day, and there is still plenty of time to perfect the cooking.

"Alas, I forgot to remove the fish. Zheng Ke was chewing on crab meat while thinking about another problem.

When it comes to removing the fish, the best pairing with crab is vinegar and ginger. The strong acidity of the vinegar and the spicinessness of the sauce not only remove the fishy smell of the crab, but also resist the coldness of the crab.

After Zheng Ke simply made the condiments, he dipped the snow-white crab meat in the sauce, and the mellow flavor and delicate taste spread all over the body.
