Chapter 357: Don't be afraid of trouble
"What's it this time again?"
"To the hairy crabs...... Transcend? ”
"That's ...... so"
Following the ratio of flour to eggs, Liu Pleiades began to select live crabs again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Different from selecting eggs, this time everyone can see that Liu Pleiades is selecting hairy crabs that are in good condition and in good shape, including female crabs and male crabs.
Usually, when steaming crabs at home, the live crabs bought back are cleaned and then put into a pot to steam, so that the meat quality of the crabs will remain firm, and the freshness of the crabs will also be ensured......
But in fact, from the perspective of "excellence", steaming crabs in this way is not scientific.
Because in the process of steaming, if the whole crab is put into the pot, the crab's gallbladder, crab gills, crab head and peach belly for excretion in the lower abdomen will increase the bitterness and fishy smell of the crab meat.
So if you want to taste the most delicious crab meat, you can't be afraid of trouble.
It's like what Liu Pleiades is doing now, first slapping the crab with palm power......
(Ahem, children who can't be stunned with palm force can consider the slaughtering method of chopsticks insertion.) )
After that, he opened the crab shell along the edge of the crab shell, and with a movement of his fingers, the gallbladder on the shell was removed, and the gills on both sides of the crab body were also cut off with a knife......
After the selected crabs are all concocted in the same way, the crab heads, the first crab legs and the excretory area behind the crabs are cut off, and the two crab claws are cut off separately to make a slight crack.
After the crab body is processed, it is also cut into four small pieces of the character "ten", and then put into the pot at the same time as the crab shell and crab claws, and steamed with lotus leaf water.
To the surprise of several judges, before each crab was put into the pot, Liu Pleiades had a piece of talisman paper pasted on the crab shell, and then he also made a gesture of praying with his palms together......
Luo Huaiyu and another certifier who didn't even have a name obviously didn't know what Liu Pleiades was doing, while Old Man Zhao recognized the famous hall of "sacrifice sacrifice".
As for Liu Kuishan and Lei An, they already knew about it, and they were not surprised at this time!
That's right, whether it was the selection of eggs before, or the current "sacrificial sacrifice", they are all improving the "source" of ingredients!
Originally, because of the correct slaughtering method, the "source" of the crab did not lose much, and now it has recovered to the peak state.
Whether it is from the perspective of "material cuisine" or "spiritual cuisine", Liu Pleiades tries to adjust the ingredients to the best state!
Of course, in this way, in the eyes of most people, Liu Pleiaus's actions are a "quirk" approach......
If it was before, this was not even a "quirk", in the eyes of most people, it should be just "pretending to be garlic"!
However, because Liu Pleiaus's name of "National Treasure Sword Master" came out, everyone also acquiesced to the conclusion that "masters always have quirks".
Sometimes the only difference between "pretending to be garlic" and "quirk" is the name of the actor......
For example, the New Year of the Great God is a "quirk", and the New Year of a certain east is a short T_T "pretending to be garlic".
As for the top-grade plum blossom meat in the fresh-keeping box, Liu Pleiades also selected them one by one, and then first took out the iron rod, and on each piece of plum blossom meat, it was rolled and poked, as if he was massaging the plum blossom meat......
Plum blossom meat, that is, a part of the upper shoulder blade meat in pork, each pig, usually only about five catties, and pork belly although there is only one word difference, but the two are the same pork, the meat quality is just the opposite!
Pork belly is the rib belly of the pig, showing a division of fat and lean meat, and is one of the parts of the pig that is the least active, while plum meat is one of the most active parts.
Therefore, unlike the fat and lean ratio of pork belly, which is between three or seven or four or six, the fat of plum blossom meat is only one or two percent......
But this is also where the certifiers are more confused, that is, if you make dumplings, the fat and thin of the meat filling should be between four, six, three or seven, that is to say, using pork belly is the best choice, pure meat filling, the proportion of lean meat can be larger, but the lean proportion of plum blossom meat is too large!
Knock, knock, knock......
Gradually, on Liu Pleiaus's side, the original "massage" action range became larger and larger, and finally even became a fine hammer!
In the end, I saw Liu Pleiades as if he was playing a fast drum, frantically hammering the plum blossom meat in front of him, and finally used two steel rods to hammer a few pieces of plum blossom meat into meat filling!
The crab was almost steamed at this time, and as soon as Liu Yuexing's nose moved, he pinched the time, took out all the crab pieces, and used the smallest carving knife and the small tongs used when eating snails to remove the crab meat and crab roe respectively within a few minutes.
After the crab meat is minced, it is stir-fried in the sauce and oil, and the crab roe is marinated directly in the sauce prepared before the crab is cleaned up.
There are also some "crab roe", which were kept by Liu Pleiades alone, and then they were also fried......
In the blink of an eye, three hours have passed since the review began, and Liu Pleias's filling "seems" to be ready.
The reason why it is said "seemingly" is because Liu Pleiades has already prepared the steamer here, and standing in front of the iron plate on the cooking table, he looks like he is just waiting for the iron plate to heat up, and it looks like it is ready.
But...... There are still two kinds of fillings, and they are not mixed at all!
Not to mention the dumpling wrapper, there is not even "noodles" now, only a small amount of wheat flour is added to the egg, and then the "batter" is stirred!
And standing in front of the iron plate is strange in itself...... The current title is "dumplings", not teppanyaki!
In short, neither the certifiers, nor the group of relatives and friends off the court, nor the audience in the second field, did not know what he was going to do......
Anyway, it doesn't look like it's going to make dumplings!
Liu Pleiades put his hand on the iron plate, feeling the temperature of the iron plate increase, and after reaching a certain level, Liu Pleiades quickly applied oil again, and then ......
Da, da, da......
I saw Liu Pleiades constantly stirring in the egg batter with a small iron spoon, and then after the oil was hot, he saw the right time, the spoon shook on the iron plate, and shook a few times in the air, and several pieces were completely round, and each piece was a thin layer of egg batter, and it was spread on the iron plate!
In the time of breathing after that, Liu Pleiasian's hands had been replaced with special tools, which looked like iron "fake nails" about two centimeters long on the index finger and middle finger of both hands?
Speaking of which, when Liu Pleiades was waiting for the ingredients, he broke it out with the standard iron kitchen knife originally prepared on the cooking table!
Using kitchen utensils to make kitchen utensils, of course, cannot be regarded as deliberately destroying kitchen utensils......
After bringing on the "fake nails", Liu Pleiades flew with his four fingers, and folded a few pieces of thin egg cakes that were somewhat solidified under the heating of the iron plate from a circle into a triangle one by one, and then turned them over!
Such a dexterous and delicate operation was actually completed in an instant......
Liu Pleiades once again proved the dexterity of his "Eagle Hand" in front of everyone.
And Luo Huaiyu was shocked at this time: "What? It's not just egg dumplings? Triangle...... He still wants to make crown dumplings? ”
That's right, just before, Luo Huaiyu just speculated that Liu Pleiades was going to make "egg dumplings".
That is, it is a kind of "egg dumpling" that uses eggs as a skin, which is very difficult and easy to make, and it is not like dumplings, but becomes a meat pie!
Although even so, she did not understand why she used two kinds of fillings.
However, after Liu Pleiades used the "hand of the eagle" to fold the "egg skin" into a triangle, Luo Huaiyu was completely shocked.
Triangle wrappers...... This is a clear feature!
Crowned dumplings, or "crowned dumplings", are wrapped in dumpling wrappers folded into triangles.
Because the crown dumplings need three sides and three dimensions to wrap, the difficulty is higher than that of ordinary dumplings, but because of this, they have a different taste......
After special practice, making "crown dumplings" is not a special skill, but when combined with egg dumplings, the meaning is completely different!
The most difficult part of "egg dumplings" is that the process of "wrapping" is completed with a shovel while heating the egg skin, whether it is the mastery of the rawness of the egg skin, or the force when turning and pressing, there are high requirements.
The egg dumplings are not like ordinary dumplings, which need to be pinched at once, but make the half-boiled eggs stick together by themselves after folding, but ......
How to wrap the "crown dumplings" with egg skin? This is not a problem that can be solved with a single flip!
However, in Liu Pleiades's view, this is obviously not a problem, I saw that after Liu Pleiades finished folding a few thin egg cakes, he also used four iron fingers to quickly put a piece of "meat filling" on the smooth side of the egg skin, and then under the linkage of the four fingers, the side with the edge of the fold was turned up one by one, showing the shape of a "pyramid", and at a speed that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, the "false nails" of the index finger and middle finger of both hands hit each other, and the edge of the union was "pinched".
Luo Huaiyu finally understood why a small amount of flour was added to the egg mixture, instead of using pure eggs, it turned out that it was not that he was not confident in his "egg dumpling" technology, but that he wanted to carry out this kind of kneading!
After the meat dumplings are completed, you can see that there is still a small opening left on the top that has not been sealed, and it is the round crab roe filling that has also been placed on it one by one.
The shape of the finished "crown top egg dumplings" was put into the steamer by Liu Pleiades one by one, like ordinary egg dumplings, in such a short time, it is impossible to cook the meat filling, and it has to be steamed again......
Liu Pleiades repeated these steps over and over again, but no matter how many times he watched it, whether it was the onlookers or the certifiers, they all had a speechless expression......
