Chapter 411: Arctic Shell Sashimi

Tan Taoluo's cooking far exceeded Xie Xiongfei's expectations, whether it was the taste of the dish itself or the time it was completed, it exceeded Xie Xiongfei's original estimate. The red snails are a delicate process that requires the removal of fine sand from the inside, while the oysters have to be free of miscellaneous smells, both of which can take a long time for even experienced masters. The larger the oyster, the more cumbersome it is to handle and can puncture the bile.

The key to borscht lies in the sweetness of the ingredients themselves, and what brings this sweetness into full play is the slight spiciness, and it is the slight spiciness, which can awaken people's taste buds and enjoy the deliciousness greedily. At this point, Tan Taoluo is undoubtedly successful.

Xie Xiongfei commented: "Using sweet and sour hot sauce to replace the original beef broth, there will be such an unexpected effect, compared to the traditional borscht lighter seafood borscht, it can also be made so delicious, it is a completely different kind of taste impact, sweet and sour, in the slight spicy taste is perfectly stimulated, and the processing method of the snail meat is worth mentioning, first soaked in baking soda, so that the snail itself is soft, and the soup stock of the boiled beef is used to collect the juice, so that the snail meat can also eat the taste of beef." , which can be described as a must. ”

Tan Taoluo raised his eyebrows proudly, cast a contemptuous look at Yao Xu, and said secretly in his heart: "This time, the champion of the cuisine in front of the gods is none other than me." ”

Yao Xu didn't think so, just shook his head lightly, and didn't take Tan Taoluo in his eyes at all.

Just when Tan Taoluo was almost angry, then Xie Xiongfei continued: "But the fly in the ointment is that this sweet and sour hot sauce still can't replace the sweet and sour meaning boiled with pure red tomatoes. The sweet and sour taste of red tomatoes is never substituted for sweet and sour sauce. If only it could be improved a little bit. Maybe it will be a good work. ”

was unexpectedly pointed out by Xie Xiongfei for lack of cooking, Tan Taoluo at this time seemed to be a deflated ball, and he couldn't lift his strength in the face of Yao Xu's provocation, he just gritted his teeth viciously, but he was powerless to resist.

Finding Yao Xu's almost sympathetic smile, Tan Taoluo felt a wave of anger in his heart, and he was unhappy at the moment. Loudly reprimanded: "What are you laughing at! ”

Yao Xu shrugged. didn't think so, just added a little star anise to his pot, and then said, "I'm praising you." It's finally a little bit of a growth. Originally, I thought you would only be able to make sweet and sour sauce, but now you have the brains and know how to add a lot of taste elements, at this point. I'm still pretty sure. But the cooking...... Forget it, don't talk about it. ”

Yao Xu wants to cover up the proposed statement. Tan Taoluo's face was so angry that he was about to erupt, but Lin Xiaodan on the side laughed out loud, although this Yao Xu was annoying, but she didn't want to see this Tan Taoluo. Seeing the two of them fighting, she couldn't be happier.

Tan Taoluo heard the meaning of the excitement hidden in Lin Xiaodan's laughter, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at!" ”

Lin Xiaodan tilted his head and looked at Tan Taoluo. What she said was more poisonous than Yao Xu! Lin Xiaodan said unceremoniously: "Don't shout here for the lost dog." What do you want to make a lot of dishes, sweet and sour and spicy and hairtail? A hodgepodge? Do you understand real shell cuisine? ”

Tan Tao was furious and roared: "Where are the dishes you are talking about, and people who can't make anything are embarrassed to stand here?" ”

Originally, one Yao Xu was enough to make Tan Taoluo unhappy, but now there is Lin Xiaodan fanning the flames on the side, telling Tan Taoluo how not to be angry. Although the cooking was flawed, at least he firmly believed that no one would give it to a woman. …

Lin Xiaodan retracted his smile, holding a Japanese knife in his hand, the blade flashed a trace of coldness, and snatched it out with Lin Xiaodan's sneer, and then what flashed under the cold light turned out to be an Arctic shell!

"Then I'll let you see it, my shell dishes, the ultimate enjoyment of umami."

Arctic shellfish, also known as Beiji shellfish, basking shell, its scientific name is Sakhalin Ma Ke clam. It is a type of shellfish in the family Makocaceae, one of the most important edible shellfish in Japan and neighboring countries, and is a representative product of Soma City, Fukushima Prefecture, and is also listed as a city shellfish in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido. As a marine product, it is often called a northern seashell.

Hokuyomi shellfish, which live mainly in the subtidal zone along the coast of northern Japan and the eastern Korean Peninsula to a depth of 1 meter, are caught in large quantities as they are the main economic shellfish in nearby countries, and their numbers have declined dramatically. In the 199s, Japan began to study the artificial cultivation technology of Arctic shellfish.

Merchants on the mainland like to shell their bright red feet, sell them under the trade name "Arctic shellfish", and advertise their natural environment from the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Arctic shellfish has the characteristics of bright red, orange and white, delicious taste, crisp meat, rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and is the best in seafood.

Arctic shellfish can be used to make sashimi, sushi, salad, hot pot and other dishes, stir-fried, steamed, grilled, stewed, stewed. It can also be eaten in salads, sushi, pasta, appetizers, and some other fresh ingredients. Arctic mussels are low in fat, delicious, high in nutritional value, rich in iron, and contain omega 3 and rol that can suppress cholesterol.

Since 11 years, Arctic shellfish has been chosen by many restaurants and restaurants in Beijing; In the future, it will also enter supermarkets and become an all-natural delicacy that can be enjoyed by ordinary people.

Tan Taoluo was shocked in his heart, and shouted: "How can it be an Arctic shellfish, weren't you tinkering with a few scallops before!" ”

Lin Xiaodan smiled coldly and said, "In this competition, didn't you say that you should bring your own ingredients, so what shells do I choose, what's your business?" ”

Although it was separated by a distance, it did not prevent Xie Xiongfei from carefully observing the Arctic shell, the red, orange, and white reincarnations rotated, which was obviously a symbol of the extreme freshness of the Arctic shell.

Xie Xiongfei nodded, and said with satisfaction: "It's amazing, this Arctic shell was caught just now." ”

Yao Xu asked, his heart was also shocked, he gritted his teeth, and exclaimed in his heart: "The ingredients that were captured just now, this girl is so hard, if you can't get it, it won't be compared." ”

The Japanese food knife in Lin Xiaodan's hand began to operate, and at the same time, accompanied by her light voice, she said: "Originally, I wanted to deal with it casually, just cook it casually with a few scallops, anyway, the final winner will definitely be my brother." ”

When he said this, Lin Xiaodan looked at his younger brother on the side again, and found that the other party was indeed timid and shrank his head, obviously a little scared.

Lin Xiaodan immediately turned his head and said, "But since the family happens to catch this Arctic shell again, then I will also play symbolically." ”

Arctic shellfish need to be processed and scalded and frozen on the fishing boat after 4 minutes of catching, so they only need to be eaten naturally to ensure safety, health and convenience, so fresh Arctic shell sashimi is rare, and the scalded Arctic shellfish is not considered sashimi.

Seeing Lin Xiaodan's posture, even if he didn't need to explain, Xie Xiongfei could understand that Lin Xiaodan was bound to make a sashimi dish.

Female chefs are rare, and it's even rarer for a girl to be able to make sashimi so beautiful!

Lin Xiaodan used a pair of slender jade hands to open the Arctic shellfish into two, remove the internal organs, wash them with light salt water, and use edible paper towels to absorb the water. The arctic shellfish are changed into knives and pressed one by one to form a fan, and then the cucumber is made into a cucumber base, and the lemon is cut into half slices for decoration. …

The most impressive thing is the shredded white radish, which can only be heard before and after a burst of knives like machine gun fire, and even the eyes have not kept up with the speed, and a plate of white radish as thin as silver hair has been laid on the plate.

The scallops were cut by Lin Xiaodan in a thin piece, holding it in the air as if even the sunlight could pass through, showing twelve scallops spread out in a fan shape, the three colors were constantly beating, dazzling, the rainbow tube was cut into three pieces by Lin Xiaodan, and the curled edge became a rose, which made the whole plate of sashimi as delicate as a carving.

With a clean and neat approach, Lin Xiaodan's knife work is undoubtedly a subtle performance, capturing the hearts of many people present. The villagers of Qinglin Village eat big fish and meat, and they eat a lot of halal braised and boiled white, and occasionally eat sashimi, but they have never seen such thrilling knife cooking skills, and they can't help but be stunned, and they don't even make cheers.

However, at this time, silence is better than sound, which makes people stunned by the knife skills, and it seems that Lin Xiaodan's knife skills are so exquisite that people are speechless.

Xie Xiongfei was shocked, although Tongxing Restaurant also has a chef who cooks sashimi, but no one can handle the Arctic shellfish so perfectly.

Xie Xiongfei stood up with a tap on the armrest of the chair and invited: "This little girl, if you have the reason, we Tongxing Restaurant are willing to hire you as our sashimi chef, the salary will not be less than 10,000 yuan a month, and there is also a commission calculation, I don't know if you are interested!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the stunned villagers were immediately called back to their souls, and they let out bursts of emotion, this Xie Xiongfei had never even eaten Lin Xiaodan's food, and just with that knife work, he directly issued an invitation, how can people not be surprised? What's more, 10,000 yuan is definitely not a small amount, and in the Chaoshan area, many chefs with deep cooking skills may not have this salary.

Seeing the gleam in Xie Xiongfei's eyes, Tan Taoluo's heart was cold at the moment. Seeing that Xie Xiongfei treated Lin Xiaodan like this, then his evaluation of his cuisine would naturally not be low, so he had no chance of winning, and he couldn't help but lower his head. (To be continued)
