Chapter 233: Sushi Culture

The main meal is sushi, but the sushi doesn't smell good, and the most fragrant thing on the scene is the crystal rice scallop porridge, just hearing the name is enough to make people's mouths water.

Tao Ran spent most of the time processing the dried scallops, cutting the shell pillars, washing and boiling them in seawater, because there was no condition to dry them, she used the method of sealing and drying. Because some seasonings are added during the cooking process to remove the smell and increase the flavor, the dried scallops are more fresh and fragrant, and it is delicious enough to eat it dry.

Crystal rice is the best rice, although it is a bit extravagant to cook porridge, but its effect will not disappoint at all, the fragrant and soft porridge with a few dried scallops, full of fragrant and fresh, eat to the mouth is extremely enjoyable.

Naturally, the sushi as the main dish will not be overwhelmed by the scallop porridge, and it is neatly stacked on the plate, like a soldier waiting for a review.

Sushi was also a major food in the gastronomic era, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has formed a unique culture. To say that sushi is rice and raw fish is too unsophisticated. The most elaborate sushi meal is divided into five parts: relics (rice), seeds (pickles), tears (wasabi), purple (soy sauce or salt), and ginger.

The relics are the rice in Sanskrit, the sushi rice has very high requirements for heat and water, usually the ratio of rice and water is 1:1, and the heat pays attention to the five steps of 'stable fire heating, strong fire cooking, medium heat steaming, closed fire stewing, fierce fire smoking', so that the rice has a slight burnt fragrance, and the texture is more compact and elastic. The rice should not be touched until it is cooked and taken out of the pot, it tastes without any sweet and sour taste, and remains absolutely pure white. Add the juice or sushi vinegar after cooking to keep the rice in its best condition.

There are many ways to make sushi, such as nigiri, sushi, roll sushi, etc., which are handed down by the ancient method, and Tao Ran always uses the nigiri justice, which is also the oldest sushi production method. It's not because she doesn't do it for any reason, but because nigiri sushi is the best way to grasp the looseness and firmness of the rice grains, and it also brings out the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves.

The finished sushi rice grains are firm and plump, the outer grains are firm and sticky, and the inner part maintains a relatively loose structure, with a rich taste, moist and transparent, perfect shape, and the warmth of the mouth makes the heart soft and warm.

Sushi ...... Pickled vegetables, which are usually fish-based, are also an important factor in determining the freshness of sushi. The fish and shellfish used by Tao Ran are naturally the freshest...... A quarter of an hour ago, it was still alive...... The most eye-catching of these are tuna sushi and scallop sushi.

The tuna sushi is made with the highest part of the inside of the tuna's gill cap, and the meat is full of juice and has a texture like frosted beef, which goes well with the light flavor of crystal rice. This part of the tuna is high in fat and full of holes, which makes it extremely easy to spoil, but this sushi naturally does not have this problem, and it is the freshest ingredients.

Scallop sushi, on the other hand, is the richest sushi in flavor, and unlike tuna sushi, which is slightly whiter, the rice used in scallop sushi is mixed with some mixed vinegar. The scallops are processed through multiple processes, full of umami, with a strong aroma, chewy taste mixed with soft rice grains, as if composing a delicious symphony in the mouth.

Ou Shiyi ate one bite after another, moved to tears, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious handmade dish~ People who can eat sushi are really the happiest~"

"You're exaggerating...... Tao Ran's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly drank porridge to cover it up, "It's just ordinary sushi." ”

Tao Ran's cuisine has always been comprehensive, and it strives to be exquisite and perfect. To eat sushi, ginger slices are naturally indispensable.

If the previous is the standard for measuring the quality of a sushi, then ginger slices are the threshold to measure the level of a chef, and it is also the finishing touch of sushi cooking. If you make the perfect nigiri sushi without the same 'portion' of ginger slices, then the dish is a failure, no matter how rare and rich the ingredients are.

The ginger slices prepared by Tao Ran are sea ginger slices collected on the reef by the sea. Sea ginger slices are also a specialty of the food industry, and they are layered on a moist reef near the sea, about half a meter wide, and the pale yellow color seems to be covered with tulip petals.

When Tao Ran processed the sea ginger slices, he added a little sour plum juice, and the processed sea ginger slices showed a faint red color, and there was only a little spicy taste in the mouth, and then there was only a piece of pure white in the mouth, which can fully remove the residual flavors in the mouth, so that diners can enjoy every sushi perfectly.

Just imagine, if the ginger slices did not perfectly remove the residual flavor from the mouth, then this perfect sushi dish would become a mixed seafood with tuna, saury, scallops, black caviar, etc...... It's all about spoiling the ingredients, spoiling the deliciousness!

Ou Shi chewed a slice of sea ginger and looked at Tao Ran with admiration.

After receiving the emergency contact, he thought that these two people were forced into the food world by the sinister situation in the human world, but they were just a pair of middle-to-upper strength and a combination that did not know the height of the sky, even if there was a lot of room for improvement, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the food world.

Because there is a lot of room for improvement, this sentence is usually used to encourage younger generations, which itself represents a lack of strength.

Therefore, Ou Shi was disdainful at the beginning, and he also wanted to teach the two of them some lessons.

In fact, the information received by Ou Shi, in addition to testing Song Rui, also has the article of protecting and taking care of the two, and the deadline naturally starts from the two of them entering the food world. But Ou Shi made a discount, he did not enter the Angolan forest, but chose to wait for the two at the mouth of the strait on the way as if he was deliberately trying to test them.

Having lived in the food world for many years, he knows a lot of things better than anyone else, he has fully adapted to this world of the jungle, and he is also a big fan of the law of the jungle. In Ou Shi's opinion, if the two of them can't even get here, it's better to add a handful of bones to the food world as soon as possible! Anyway, there are no four digits of people who die here every year, and there are also people in a small group, and those who die can't even make a splash in the food world, and two more corpses can be called a problem in the food world?

But the two young men turned his perception on its head, and he realized that his senses for the pair were probably completely wrong. These two people definitely didn't come to the food world because they couldn't stay in the human world! In fact, if you think about it, this is reasonable, no matter how cruel the human world is, can there be danger in the food world?

These two people simply took advantage of the excuse of what happened in the human world to come to the food world to break through! And they are not at all ignorant of the sky, but a very powerful pair.

Tao Ran's cooking level gradually took shape, and he began to develop his own unique style.

The most surprising thing was Song Rui, a creature with an extremely strange life form, as if he had no upper limit of strength at all, and every time he fought, he had amazing changes. Only then did Ou Shi understand that the two of them were not the type with a lot of room for progress at all, but the type with endless room for progress and an amazing speed of progress!

These two points are nothing on their own, but the effect they can achieve together is extremely amazing.

"Are young people so cruel now?" Ou Shi muttered to himself, deeply feeling that he had not returned to the human world for too long and had completely fallen behind?
