Chapter 39 Charcoal-grilled hairy crabs
For the amazing creature of crabs, the best cooking seems to be steaming, which is also the most familiar way to eat crabs, but today Chen Peng plans to have a charcoal grilled crab and try different flavors.
There are many varieties of freshwater crabs, and the eight freshwater crabs caught by Chen Peng this time should be called Chinese mitten crabs, which are the hairy crabs in our mouths.
The quality of crabs is closely related to the water quality of the environment in which they grow, and of course, to the food they usually eat.
These two most critical elements are absolutely not any problem in the eight crabs caught by Chen Peng, they usually eat pure natural food, no artificial feed, and at the same time, the quality of their lives, the audience in the live broadcast room is obvious to all, that is the degree of being able to drink directly, and there is no such thing as excessive heavy metals.
For crabs, the most delicious is nothing less than its crab roe, you may not believe it, but the crab roe is actually the ovaries and digestive glands in the crab's body, high-quality crab roe is orange and delicious, if you see the crab roe is gray or black, then what you should do is to throw the crab in your hand into the trash, and then call the complaint number to report the shop where you bought the crab.
In addition to crab roe, there is crab paste, just mentioned that crab roe is the ovary and digestive gland of crabs, crab paste is the fat and sperm nest of male crabs, they are normally blue-white translucent jelly-like liquid, after steaming, crab paste will become translucent and sticky gum, and crab paste is also divided into river crab paste and sea crab paste, the crab paste of river crab is slightly sweet, and the crab paste of sea crab is slightly fishy.
The crab meat of hairy crab tastes very delicious, and the nutritional value is needless to say, it must be rich, otherwise it will not become a good product on the table of our Chinese people.
It is important to pay attention to the fact that when you usually want to eat hairy crabs and buy them yourself, you must not buy dead crabs, because after the protein in the dead crab is decomposed, crab toxin will be produced.
When Chen Peng and the audience in the live broadcast room popularized crab knowledge, the speed under his feet did not slow down, and he quickly returned to the temporary camp that had been built before, judging from the situation in front of him, it was correct to build a roof above the bed to cover the rain, and the raindrops in the sky still showed no signs of stopping, I am afraid that the rain tonight will be the rhythm of the next night.
Chen Peng deliberately kept the height of the bed from the ground about 1.5 meters when setting up the bed, keeping it so high from the ground not only to prevent predators from coming to him in the middle of the night to find trouble, but also because Chen Peng planned to make a fire below, if it was too low, the fire might burn his buttocks directly.
After some hard work, Chen Peng successfully lit a flame, and the firelight made his face suddenly turn as red as drunk wine, and he could see the flames reflected in Chen Peng's eyes, and his eyes were full of excitement, because this meant that he could start roasting crabs.
The fire grilled crab is also very important for the control of the heat, if the fire is too small, the crab meat inside can not be cooked, but the fire is too big and it is easy to burn the whole crab, Chen Peng thought about it and decided not to use the traditional barbecue method, if you directly support a rack to put the crab on the roast, I am afraid it is difficult to ensure that it is all cooked inside.
So Chen Peng first burned the flames, and at the same time threw a lot of stones into the surroundings, many viewers in the live broadcast room didn't know what Chen Peng's purpose was for doing this, aren't you roasting crabs, why are you roasting stones now?
"The anchor saw that many viewers and friends expressed doubts, I don't grill the crab directly, everyone should be easy to understand, because then it is easy to bake the whole crab, as for the anchor to throw the stone into the fire is not useless, this is for the next oven preparation. Chen Peng said while fiddling with the stone.
About half an hour later, Chen Peng used a thick wooden stick to pick up the stones inside next to the burning fire, then he arranged the stones in a circle, put the charcoal made of wood burning in it, and then put eight crabs directly on top of the charcoal, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then Chen Peng put the burning wood on top of the soil layer, and increased the flame to continue burning.
After this batch of wood was completely burned, Chen Peng did not continue to add wood to it, and it could be seen that a little spark inside the stone circle was still emitting the last light.
"Wait another hour and a half and you'll be ready to eat. Chen Peng said with a gloomy smile.
In the process of waiting for the crabs to be roasted, Chen Peng also took out the purple casserole, this time it was simply for boiling water to drink, earlier today Chen Peng picked some wild chrysanthemums along the road, now come to make a chrysanthemum tea and wait for a while to eat charcoal-grilled crabs.
Half an hour later, Chen Peng picked out the crabs one by one, and a fragrance that had been covered by charcoal and soil for a long time suddenly came to his nose, Chen Peng nodded with satisfaction after carefully inspecting it, and regardless of the fact that the crab was still in a very hot state, he couldn't wait to pull the largest crab claw down, so it looked like the pincers alone were seven or eight centimeters long, which was already a big hairy crab.
"Look, audience friends, this crab meat is definitely full of mouthful. ”
Chen Peng showed the crab claws in front of the camera, then blew and dried them a little, and bit the crab shell with a large tooth click, and you can see that the steaming snow-white crab meat inside is full of temptation, Chen Peng removed the fine crab shell and bit it down.
The moment he entered the mouth, the slightly hot crab meat filled Chen Peng's mouth, and the fragrant crab flavor suddenly burst out after chewing.
After the two crab claws were solved cleanly, Chen Peng picked up the whole crab, and after peeling off the crab shell, you could see the bright yellow crab roe inside, but unfortunately this time period is not the season, and there are not many crab roes, but the fragrance is enough to intoxicate Chen Peng.
Sucking the crab roe into his mouth, Chen Peng only felt that his mouth was suddenly filled with a strong aroma, which was a fragrant and oily feeling, which was definitely a great tonic in a state of hunger.
While the crab roe remained in his mouth, Chen Peng also took a bite of the crab meat left in the shell of the white flowers, when the deliciousness and the strong fragrance collided together, Chen Peng had closed his eyes happily.
"Audience friends, this is the best hairy crab that the anchor has ever eaten in his life, and I feel that the ones I ate before were fake crabs!"
After solving a crab, Chen Peng shared his feelings with the audience in the live broadcast room, and at this time, natto MM naturally came uninvited, she received a charcoal-grilled crab to a different space, and ate it, and finally hummed it in an unusually cute voice.
"Well~ delicious and delicious, let Ben Meng Mei eat another one, that one just now doesn't count~"
