As soon as Meng Chuan came to the back kitchen, he saw a lot of big fish jumping around, this fish is really fat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The cooking squad leader looked at Meng Chuan staring at these fish, and said with a smile: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, this fish is our specialty, it is cheaper than pork anyway, and we usually eat fish." ”

Oh, after Meng Chuan squatted down, he fished out a fish with his hands and said, "Comrade squad leader, can I make a fish?" ”

The cooking squad leader immediately nodded and said, "Of course you can, Comrade Second Lieutenant, is it the fish in your hand, I'll do it." ”

Meng Chuan picked up the fish, came to the side of the pool, and said, "I'll do it, I'm also cooking, you can just watch from the side." ”

Although the fish is very active, but how can not break free from Meng Chuan's hand, the cooking squad leader saw that Meng Chuan's posture of pinching the fish is very good, it is estimated that he is also a person who often makes fish, there is a stick next to the pool, Meng Chuan picked up the stick and knocked the fish's head hard, and the fish immediately fainted.

At this time, the cooking squad leader handed over a pair of scissors and said, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, are you used to breaking the belly of a fish with scissors?" ”

Meng Chuan said with a smile: "I used scissors to break the belly of the fish, which is convenient and fast, and it is easy to use." ”

Soon Meng Chuan dealt with the fish, and the cooking squad leader saw that Meng Chuan's method of handling the fish was very fast, and praised: "Comrade Ensign is amazing, the technique is very fast, it turns out that he often makes fish." ”

Meng Chuan smiled: "I have done it a few times, and it's okay." ”

The cooking squad leader has been cooking for more than ten years, and he knows a little bit of Taoism, and said with a smile: "Second lieutenant, your technique is here, you do it neatly, you have to have at least two or three years of skills, I see that when you slaughter fish, you are very handy, and you can't hide it from my eyes." ”

It was impossible for Meng Chuan to tell this cooking squad leader that he had a system bonus to have this effect, so he opened the topic, "Comrade squad leader, do you still have rice here?" ”

The squad leader nodded and said, "There is still rice, two people will definitely not be able to eat it, you can rest assured, but it may be a little cold now, I'm going to heat it up." ”

Meng Chuan immediately replied: "Okay, then I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't bother, what's the matter, raise your hand." After saying that, the cooking squad leader went to heat the rice.

Meng Chuan looked at the fish in his hand as a catfish, and thought about whether to make a garlic catfish, spicy and delicious.

There is mucus on the fish, and if you want to remove this mucus, Meng Chuan has a little trick, which is to blanch it a little in warm water, and then wash it, and you can easily remove the mucus.

There is no shortage of hot water in the back kitchen, Meng Chuan scooped out two scoops of hot water in the pot and poured it into the basin, and then put the fish in, half a minute is enough, and then filter out the hot water, add water, and clean it again.

Then start to marinate the fish, the fish is difficult to taste, so the pickling step is essential, and the marinating is also simple, add some cooking wine, pepper, pour some light soy sauce, sprinkle some starch and mix well.

The fish is marinated on the side, and Meng Chuan is not idle here, since it is garlic catfish, garlic is essential, and the garlic of this dish is to be fried, so those who feel that they have a stomachache after eating garlic and have a peculiar smell in their mouths, there is no need to worry about it, after the garlic is fried, it will be cooked, and the above situation will not occur.

Garlic, there is no need to use too much, one head of garlic is enough, while the fish is still marinated, Meng Chuan will first dial the garlic skin, after a dozen cloves of garlic are dialed, Meng Chuan began to add oil, the fish of garlic catfish needs to be fried first, which is different from boiled fish, boiled fish is boiled and spices are put into stew, and garlic catfish is fried first in stewing, the method is not the same.

The oil can be a little more, so that it is easy to fry, and after the oil is hot, you can put in the marinated fish pieces, because the fish is marinated, so there is some moisture, when you enter the oil pan, the oil will burst out, you should be a little careful at this time, otherwise it is not comfortable to be splashed by the oil star.

It's just that Meng Chuan is not afraid, he has been cooking for so long, this little oil star is nothing, and he took chopsticks and put the fish and meat into the oil pot one by one to fry.

You don't need to fry the fish for too long, you can take it out after it changes color, about two or three minutes, after taking out the fish pieces, Meng Chuan put the garlic into the oil pot and fry it, at this time, you can use a colander to basket the garlic, otherwise the garlic will not be easy to get out.

The garlic can be fished out when it is fried to yellow, and you can start to stew at this time, there is a lot of oil in the oil pan, first get it all out, and wait for the next stir-fry to be used, leave a thin layer of oil in the pot.

Garlic catfish is spicy and delicious, then you have to boil red oil, there is bean paste in the kitchen, this is a good thing, there is bean paste can put a lot of materials, Meng Chuan still put pepper and dried chili pepper in the pot to fry it, and then take out the fried pepper and dried chili pepper.

If you like to eat peppercorns and dried chili peppers, then there is no need to fish, and then add bean paste to start boiling, at this time you can also put some ginger, tangerine peel and other spices, but the bean paste tastes very full, there is no need to put too many ingredients.

After boiling for a while, after the red oil came out, Meng Chuan poured the fried discolored fish pieces and garlic into it and stir-fried it, the most important thing was to stew, so Meng Chuan scooped a scoop of water and poured it in.

It is not advisable to put too much water, which is different from boiling fish, as long as the water covers the fish.

Then cover the pot and start simmering.

The cooking squad leader's side was also hot, and then he walked to Meng Chuan, looked at Meng Chuan's already started to stew fish, and asked, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, how long do you have to stew this fish stew." ”

Meng Chuan looked at his watch and said, "My fish is fried, so the stewing time is relatively fast, and when the water is boiling, it can be out of the pot after ten minutes of stewing." ”

The fire power of the big stove is very fierce, and after a while, the pot will be bubbling, and the smell of fish and meat will come over, and the cooking squad leader smells this smell is fragrant enough, and hurriedly asked: "Comrade Ensign, what kind of fish are you making, the taste is really good." ”

Meng Chuan said: "It's garlic catfish, the method is not difficult, fry it first and then boil, although it is a little different from the practice of boiling fish, but the taste is not bad at all, each has its own flavor." ”

The cooking squad leader smelled the more and more attractive fragrance, and quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, I can smell it, it's really fragrant, what spices did you put in the pot?" ”

Meng Chuan pointed to the bean paste and said, "I put some bean paste, and I didn't put much else, compared with the spices of boiled fish, there are many fewer spices in this one." ”

The smell of the fish is getting more and more fragrant, and the cooking squad leader is hungry after smelling it, these two comrades are from the military headquarters, and they can't be ashamed, so they said: "Comrade, then you do it first, and I'll bring you the rice first." ”

Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Comrade squad leader." ”

No thanks, no thanks, after the cooking squad leader turned around and left, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said to himself: "I also made garlic catfish in the morning, this dish is really fragrant." (To be continued.) )
