Chapter 124: Senior Sister's Cooking Skills (Part II)
Shallot seeds grow luxuriantly.
This wild vegetable, which begins to grow in spring, resembles an onion in appearance, but is much thinner. If normal green onions are like thick rice noodles, then shallots are like rice noodles.
They don't differ much except for thickness.
It has a white shallot, just like the onion in the market.
But there is a slight difference in taste, after all, this is a wild variety, and the taste will be a little more fragrant.
Under Xiao Ran's orders, Laidou took 30 worker ants and the Shi brothers to dig up six shallots. Along with the loaches, they were transported back to the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland.
Dinner was carried back to the Sea Buckthorn Heath, and it was nearly dusk.
After the loaches are cleaned, they are placed on top of a taro leaf, sprinkled with salt, flowered, and pickled in shallots.
Cooking wine and ginger are important machines for removing fish, but there are no such conditions here.
Among the existing seasonings, only shallots can remove a little fishy smell.
The senior sister was seriously commanding on the side, and she seemed to be curious that the incarnation of the Zerg could still cook, although the Jade Waist Clan was a vegetarian Zerg.
After marinating for about 10 minutes, the senior sister instructed the ants to add sweet potato starch to the taro leaves.
The loach wears several needles and threads, and the ants use these needles and threads to roll it up, and in a few moments, the loach is covered with starch.
"Get oiled!" the senior sister shouted in an unfamiliar whisper. This is the language she learned from Xiao Ran a few minutes ago, just to show off in front of the ants.
The ants were stunned at first, but after seeing Xiao Ran dotting their tentacles, they immediately executed their senior sister's order.
Crash!
A vat of vegetable oil is poured into the enamel pot by way of siphoning.
Rumble!
The kerosene lighter burns up, slowly heating the enamel pot.
A minute later, the senior sister tested the oil temperature from a distance.
After transforming into a Zerg, every step is much more complicated and difficult than that of humans. To test the oil temperature, I also used a tender grass with a lot of moisture and tried to put it in an enamel pot.
Under the torment of the hot oil, a small bubble bubbles bubbled up from the tender grass.
"The oil temperature is right, put in the loaches!" said to Xiao Ran. She had just learned a phrase for oiling, and she was not familiar with the rest, so she needed Xiao Ran to forward the order.
"Ahem...... Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the spicy old man come first!" The wizard didn't know when he ran out of the Cloud Palace, everyone was working hard to make food just now, and he seemed to be resting in the Cloud Palace.
"Dinner isn't good yet, Wizard Qing waits. Xiao Ran said. Wizards don't have to do any manual work, which seems to be the default clause in the Seabuckthorn Wastes. One is that the wizard is indeed old, but because he is very prestigious, and he is the leader of the church, and he is deeply respected by the ant people.
"Heyzole~"
"Scratch, scratch, scratch loach~"
"Heyazole~"
......
Xiao Lin shouted the trumpet again, and the tentacles of the ant people swayed neatly.
The Shi brothers pushed the small pebbles, activated the lever on the enamel stove, and hoisted the loach.
The ant people also cooperated, adjusted the direction, and put the loaches in the hot oil.
Multiply~
The hot oil makes a sizzling sound when it comes into contact with the starchy loach.
"Your tentacles are interesting. The senior sister looked at the neatly swaying tentacles of the ant people, he couldn't understand what the ant people were shouting, but she thought it was funny.
"You have it too. Xiao Ran pointed to the tentacles on her senior sister's head.
"But I don't know how to speak. And, one day I'm going back. "Senior sister is a little melancholy.
"Then you go back and learn again. ”
......
Multiply~
After the loaches have been fried for a while, the aroma comes out.
This is the reaction of protein and fat, and the whole sea buckthorn wasteland is filled with this meaty aroma.
Even the ant people of the Artemisia Empire ran over to watch the excitement regardless of the darkness.
They are all greedy, but unfortunately, they are not currently citizens of the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations, so they cannot participate in this meat-eating event.
Multiply~
One of the benefits of frying in canola oil is that it will fry the food to a golden brown.
The ants pulled the needle and thread and pulled the loach up from the oil. This needlework and thread produced 20 years ago is made of pure cotton, so it is not afraid of being fried in oil.
"Ahem...... Let the old man come first!" the wizard squeezed into the front row, not so much squeezing, but rather the ant people had long been familiar with the habits of wizards, and they all got out of the way.
Multiply~
But the senior sister did not rush out of the pot, but ordered the ants to increase the fire of the kerosene lighter.
When the oil in the pot was hot again, the senior sister asked the ant people to put the loaches into the pot again.
This, is this not fried?
"Ahem...... Why did it blow up again?" the wizard was equally puzzled.
Multiply~
After frying the loach for the second time, the loaches are lifted.
The fried loaches are placed on top of a taro leaf, and the golden fried loaches are particularly eye-catching in the twilight light.
Then, the senior sister asked Xiao Ran to instruct the ant people to bite the green onion of the shallots into green onion segments and sprinkle them on top of the fried loaches.
"Senior sister, the ant people can't be called sprinkling green onions, they can only be called lifting. Xiao Ran corrected.
"You, what nonsense. Is there a difference......"
After the green onion is sprinkled, the golden fried loach adds another color, making this dinner more soulful.
"Ahem...... Let the old man come first!" the wizard was already impatient.
Xiao Ran looked at her senior sister, as if she was asking for advice.
"Go ahead, butterflies can only be vegetarians. Senior sister said.
Xiao Ran stepped forward, and he first took a bite of the crispy skin fried by starch.
The faint taste of Sichuan peppercorns is mixed with the aroma of chopped green onions, and the appetite can be stimulated. Take a bite and the salt and pepper mix with the flavor of fried protein!
Salt and pepper flavor......
Oily aroma ......
The fried skin of sweet potato starch is so delicious!
Then, Xiao Ran brushed aside the starch and took a bite of loach meat.
It smells so good!
Although it is only the simplest seasoning, the simplest way to deal with it, and the simplest way to fry, it is precisely this simplest way that brings out the delicious taste of loach meat.
The outside is charred and the inside is tender, which is very delicious.
Loach is originally a fishy food, but after simple pickling and frying, it does not taste a trace of fishy.
This meat, in addition to being delicious, is still delicious.
Why is the meat fried by my sister always much better than fried by herself......
Could it be because of the operation that my sister just had?
Blew up twice......
That's right! It must be so! Xiao Ran recalled the food he woke up to during hibernation, and one of them was a "sweet and sour tenderloin", which was exactly how to do it.
For the first time, fry the food over low heat. On the second heat, fry the skin to crisp.
I see!
Senior sister blew up twice just now, and it turned out to be the same reason.
It's just that in the recipe of awakening, there is no such simple dish as fried loach, it seems that you have to understand it yourself!
After Xiao Ran tasted it, the wizard was the first to rush up, and he devoured it and gulped it, regardless of whether his old body could digest such greasy food.
"It's so fragrant! cough cough ......" the wizard swung his tentacles as he ate.
Then, after Xiao Ran ordered the ant people to bring some meat to the queen ant's room, all the ant people pounced.
Some of them flanked the fried loaches, while others climbed directly on top of the loaches and enjoyed a delicious dinner.
"It smells so good!".
"Delicious!"
"It's delicious!"
