Yao Xu, who has experienced hundreds of cooking duels, undoubtedly has a better mental quality than ordinary chefs, and he knows that what he needs to do now is to abandon all distractions and focus on cooking. Only in this way can we succeed.

Yao Xu snorted coldly and said, "So that means that you just need to make the best pike crab dishes, right?" It couldn't be easier. Compared to the test in the St. Edro Culinary Academy, this is nothing at all! ”

Yao Xu's body bloomed with the light called the soul of cooking, which is the firm belief that a chef should have after countless culinary duels and tempering in the Saint-Edro Culinary Academy.

≮ In the face of any unfair treatment, in the face of any ingredients that are difficult to deal with, always maintain a devout heart for cooking, ωáロba, ☆.◎NSB.m focuses on cooking the most delicious dishes, which is what a chef should do.

"I'll just show you that really delicious food doesn't need to be made with any expensive ingredients. In the face of absolute strength, any senseless struggle is in vain! ”

What can be described as a crude way of handling the ingredients, but it is so streamlined that you can't fault it at all, can be considered to be perfect to another extent. Yao Xu's treatment of the pike crab is extremely simple, but it is very effective, there are no complicated techniques, and every action is very in place, which is impressive.

Because the pike crab grows in water, if it is not cleaned properly, there will be a sense of sediment mixed in when cooking, so it must be cleaned well before eating the pike crab before it can be boiled and eaten.

Generally speaking. It is necessary to put the pike crab in a basin and then add an appropriate amount of salt water to soak, so that the pike crab will spit out the toxins in the body, so that there will be no impurities mixed in during cooking. However, Yao Xu did not do this, his right thumb was against the belly of the pike crab, with a little force, he directly opened the green shell of the pike crab, and his left hand grabbed both sides of the pike crab cover with his thumb and index finger and flipped the crab belly to face himself, which was extremely beautiful crab paste, it was like a ruby beating light. It's like delicately stuffed caviar.

Four pike crabs were opened in a row. They are all full of red crab paste, which can't help but make people feel that Yao Xu is changing magic.

There are many theories about what exactly is made in crab paste, and no one has been able to give a perfect explanation so far.

Generally speaking. Crab paste is considered a type of fat. Crabs in preparation for the winter. Gradually, the fat accumulated, and it grew into crab paste. It is also said that the crab paste of male crabs is sperm. But for female crabs, crab paste doesn't know how to explain it. But the only thing that is certain is that the taste of crab paste is absolutely top-notch.

Crab paste, also known as crab roe, is rich in protein, phospholipids and other nutrients, which is rich in nutrients, but also contains high levels of oil and cholesterol. Crab roe can be made into many delicacies: crab roe porridge, crab roe tofu, etc. Shanghai Tang also has a famous delicacy - crab roe xiaolong. Made with crab meat, pork-flavored filling and crab roe, it is extremely delicious, and a bag of crab oil blooms in the mouth when you bite into it, and it tastes full of oil, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and the importance of crab roe is indispensable.

Among the crab paste, the female crab with red as clotted fat is the best, the red paste is full of cover, the taste is excellent, but it is very rare. Identifying whether a female crab contains red paste is definitely not a simple matter. The experienced chef does not dare to say that he can accurately distinguish the female crab every time. However, Yao Xu did it, the first, the second...... The whole four female crabs with red paste were brought by him, as if they were changing magic, which made people feel unbelievable. …

Xie Xiongfei was convinced: "It's amazing, I was able to find the female crab with the most crab paste in the crab group, I don't know what method was used." The navel of the male crab is pointed while the female crab is round, the female crab roe is more fat, and the male crab is more oily and meaty. You picked four female crabs in a row, and it seems that the dishes you are going to make are mainly crab paste. ”

Yao Xu glanced at Xie Xiongfei, did not answer, did not deny, just focused on his own cooking. didn't get Yao Xu's response, Xie Xiongfei didn't feel rude, but paid more attention to the young man in front of him. Originally, he thought that Yao Xu was just a third-rate chef who relied on his family's financial resources to make delicious dishes using top ingredients. That's why I judged that the red soup ivory mussel was just a tie with Su Congshuang's thin-shelled sharp rice pills. However, now it seems that Yao Xu is definitely not a person with no flowers, and Xie Xiongfei is ashamed of himself just by virtue of his ability to pick crab paste.

Seeing Yao Xu so focused on his own cooking, Xie Xiongfei didn't say much, just quietly enjoyed his performance.

Xie Xiongfei muttered: "If you don't soak the pike crab in salt water first, it will have a strong earthy flavor when you cook it later." No matter how strong the flavor of the crab paste is, it can't hide the fishy smell, but I want to see how you deal with it. ”

Yao Xu took out all the crab paste, leaving a thin but sweet crab body, which needs to be treated, and the crab gills are used to filter impurities, which will be mixed with a large amount of mud. For the treatment of pike crabs, Yao Xu chose a bottle of liquor.

Xie Xiongfei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Oh, it turned out to be using white wine, which is interesting." In this way, the umami of the crab meat will be washed away. ”

Through the stimulation of alcohol, the booty in the crab's body can be expelled, but the strong stimulation will also make the crab meat lose its original sweetness. Generally speaking, only a few drops are placed in the brine in which the crab has been soaked, and if you wash it directly with white wine, it will be more than worth the loss. But Yao Xu didn't care, what he wanted to cook was not the crab meat of the pike crab, and the ingredients he wanted had already been taken out by him. The rest of the crab meat is not too much edible value for him.

Seeing this, Bai Xia's brows were also deeply furrowed, and he seemed to be confused in his heart, and he was even more worried about Su Congshuang.

Seeing that Bai Xia's expression was so solemn, Sikong Yao also speculated a little uneasy in his heart, the food that could make Bai Xia look at it so carefully must not be a vulgar product.

"Bai Xia?" Sikong Yao screamed, trying to get Bai Xia's attention.

Bai Xia took a breath, a little heavy, and said, "It seems that this Yao Xu is going to make a flowing yellow crab." ”

Sikong Yao frowned, and said suspiciously: "Flowing yellow crab? ”

Bai Xia nodded and said, "At last year's Sino-French food exchange meeting, I once tasted this dish, if I remember correctly, that amazing talent chef seems to be accompanied by an assistant, Yao Xu is probably a student who attended on behalf of the St. Yi Delu Culinary Academy at that time." ”

Sikong Yao broke out in a cold sweat, she knows how high the level of students in the St. Edro Culinary Academy is, and she can stand out among so many talented students and represent the St. Edro Cuisine Academy to participate in the Sino-French food exchange, then Yao Xu must also be one of the best chefs in the St. Edro Culinary Academy.

Yellow crab is a famous traditional food of the Han nationality in Ningbo. The most famous is the flowing yellow blue crab in Ningbo Zhuangyuan Building, which is a representative Ningbo dish. The crab is fresh, the meat is fat, and the appearance is beautiful, and it is praised by diners as a must. Crab is a delicacy in the world. There used to be: the taste of the Quartet, when Xu Han Huang Bo is the first. Hanhuangbo is a crab in the golden autumn season. However, at the beginning, people were afraid of crabs with full armor and claws, and of course they did not think of eating it. So Mr. Lu Xun Youyun, the first crab eater, can be called a hero. Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, there was a crab plague in one county, and crabs were everywhere, and even the crops in the fields were ruined. This made the county officials of that county anxious, how to eliminate the crab and eliminate the disaster? He thought of a way to take the risk of eating crabs, so he gathered the villagers, caught crabs and cooked them, and took the lead in stripping them. After the spread of this measure, the people followed suit and replaced food with crabs, which not only eliminated the crab plague, but also tasted the deliciousness of crabs, and crabs became a delicacy on people's tables. …

As if he had caught Bai Xia's voice, Yao Xu cast his gaze to this side inexplicably, originally thinking that he had an illusion, but when he saw Bai Xia, Yao Xu laughed.

"I met you at the Sino-French food exchange meeting last year." Yao Xu said to Bai Xia that at the exchange meeting last year, although Yao Xu did not have the opportunity to show his skills, Bai Xia's cooking show on behalf of the French royal family made Yao Xu have deep memories.

Bai Xia and Yao Xu's eyes met in the air a little, and Bai Xia said, "It seems that you have learned your teacher's craft." ”

This dish of flowing yellow crab is the work of Yao Xu's master, and it is also the proud work of the culinary master who specializes in crab cuisine in the St. Edro Culinary Academy. However, Yao Xu smiled and said, "I have learned the teacher's craft." But as a student of his, the dish I want to make is a new dish that can surpass his drift crab and create a new dish with my cooking method, the Extreme King Crab! ”

The blue crab used in the flowing yellow crab is delicious, nutritious, and has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. In particular, the female blue crab is known as "sea ginseng". Blue crabs are abundant in warm shallow seas, mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Taiwan, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The use of pike crab to make this dish of yellow crab is obviously insufficient, but it is definitely impeccable. However, Yao Xu still needs to innovate, and it is unimaginable how delicious the dishes he will make.

A pale cyan flashed in Yao Xu's hand, and he said, "This kind of ingredient, France definitely doesn't have it, right?" ”

Bai Xia's eyes narrowed, and he saw clearly what Yao Xu was holding in his hand, and he was suddenly stunned, and muttered: "It seems that now, Congshuang is in trouble." (To be continued......)
