Chapter 341: Shrimp Cakes?
Chang Zhaowen not only added minced figs to the shrimp puree, but also added a small amount of sea salt from the blue sea to it, and stirred the shrimp paste well.
"Is it enough to put such a little salt?" He Chong grabbed a lot of bottles and cans in his hand, "You see I took some cinnamon, meat, spices, tangerine peel, peppercorns, cloves, ginger, sand kernels, wood incense, fennel, angelica, sannai, and purple kou, don't you really want to add anything at all?"
"No, just add a little sea salt to this dish. ”
After getting Chang Zhaowen's clear negative answer, He Chong still didn't give up, because this is too different from his previous cognition, Pipi shrimp often lives in the sand accumulated on the bottom of the sea, and there will be some earthy smell on the body, so seasoning is very important. The spices are sufficient, not only can the original earthy taste not be eaten at all, but also stimulate the appetite of the guests, making people want to stop.
The spices of the volcanic crayfish seasoning, which was very popular in the store before, played a huge role, although one is a sea shrimp and the other is a river shrimp, but there are still similarities between the two in many places.
It's not fair to Pippi Shrimp!
He Chong still didn't give up: "Master, wouldn't you have to fade out of a bird if you don't have any spices at all? We usually have to add a little pepper, wine, sauce, green onions, or something to make shrimp, right? Also, I don't see that you have much salt, why don't we add a little more sauce?"
Chang Zhaowen shook his head: "No, just put salt is enough, these skin shrimp are very fresh, almost no fishy smell, there is no need to use other things to rob it of its original flavor." It's not that the more seasonings the better, sometimes it's too much!"
The fresher the raw materials, the less you need to put too many seasonings, and it is also very important for a chef to put it away freely, and he can't force his skills to show off his skills in seasoning. Add a little salt to bring out the original flavor of the ingredients.
The unique floral aroma of figs infuses the oceanic prawn puree, and the air is filled with an intoxicating exoticism.
He Chong was in a trance, and suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had changed, and what he was stepping on was no longer solid ground, but a wide turquoise leaf, and he was not standing, but still lying comfortably on the huge leaf, and the air was filled with a relaxing fruity smell mixed with the fragrance of flowers. As far as the eye can see, there is a blue sea, which ...... He suddenly realized that he was lying on a fig leaf, and this leaf had now become a small boat on the blue sea, carrying him swaying leisurely.
It was a strange feeling, and it was supposed to be a very insecure scene, but he felt calm and tranquil for no reason, and his heart seemed to beat to the gentle and undulating beat of the sea, and his breathing became gentle with the waves.
At this time he forgot everything, even himself.
When was the last time there was such a complete and pure relaxation? When was it when you were lying in the cradle as an infant or when it was an unborn baby floating in the amniotic fluid of the mother's womb?
"He Chong, He Chong!" Chang Zhaowen's voice called him back from his boundless fantasies.
"Eh, Master, what's the matter?"
Chang Zhaowen handed him a mixing bowl filled with pink puree: "Go get some salty cheese and dice, then put them in this puree and mix well." ”
Although the shrimp is delicious, it is not the protagonist today, the protagonist is two kinds of figs, and the sugar content of Celeste, also known as sugar, is very high, and the combination of salty cheese will cleverly circumvent its weaknesses, so as not to make people feel sweet.
This job is very simple, He Chong will do it all in a while, Chang Zhaowen checked the soft and smooth fruit puree, which is like bean paste, and is evenly mixed with some white particles with a strong milky fragrance.
"Very good!" Chang Zhaowen nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, what should we do next?" He Chong seemed to have become a curious baby, "This is shrimp puree and fruit puree, but can't we make pies?"
This kid's association ability is quite strong, Chang Zhaowen laughed: "Although it is not in the middle and not far away, okay, let's start!"
Wet the hands that have been washed clean again with natural mineral water, the fingers of the left hand are together, slightly bent to form a semicircle, the right hand takes a ball of shrimp paste, and the left and right hands alternately pat, and soon the shrimp paste forms a round cake shape in the hand, Chang Zhaowen spreads the palm in front of He Chong, and the hand is a ball of white jade "shrimp cake": "Add fruit puree!"
He Chong couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this is really making pies!
But I complained in my heart, and the movements in my hands were not delayed at all, and a spoonful of pink fruit puree with white particles was placed in the middle of the white shrimp cake......
No, it's not making shrimp cakes, it's making shrimp balls!
A dragon's eye-sized round ball appeared alternately in Chang Zhaowen's left and right hands, his left hand was thrown to his right hand, and his right hand was thrown to his left hand, and it didn't take long for a round and white jade bead to lie quietly in his palm.
"Shrimp balls, burst shrimp balls?" He Chong finally saw something.
Chang Zhaowen waved his hand, and the white jade beads were thrown into a basin containing the broken egg liquid on the side, He Chong immediately understood, and did not wait for Chang Zhaowen's instructions, and took the initiative to step forward and roll the shrimp balls in the egg liquid, ensuring that the surface was evenly covered with a thin layer of egg liquid, and immediately fished it out, and rolled it in the golden breadcrumbs on the side.
Now the smooth jade balls have completely changed because of the coarse particles stained with gold, and they have turned into golden balls.
Chang Zhaowen and He Chong have a tacit understanding, almost no words are needed, one is responsible for making shrimp balls, and the other is busy sizing and hanging materials, and soon, a large pot full of shrimp paste and fruit puree is gone, and there are rows of round shrimp balls neatly arranged on the board.
Now only one last process remains, the oil pan!
The fryer is filled with golden pecan oil, and as the temperature rises, small bubbles bubble up the transparent golden liquid, which gives the illusion of champagne if it is not also emitted heat.
This is the time!
More than a dozen pale golden shrimp balls were put into the oil pot, and the hot oil immediately surrounded these floating balls, and at this moment, the air seemed to begin to freeze......
"Woo......" He Chong snorted lowly, he felt that he couldn't breathe anymore, under the urging of heat, the fragrance in the air instantly reached its peak, the umami of seafood, the fruity fragrance of the forest, and a vague floral fragrance gushed out!
"Master, I'm sorry, I can't hold it!"
