Chapter 270: Crab
"Brother, help make this galaxy crab to eat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" A tall man, with a white face and a black beard, wearing white armor and carrying a jasper lute, said in a voice like a bell.
Zhao Shen looked at the crab that suddenly appeared in front of him and was a little confused, and looked carefully at the person and the background behind him.
The man looked very powerful in appearance, and the clouds and mist behind him were like a fairyland.
Behind him, two huge white stone pillars each hovered several golden dragons. There is a plaque on the top of the two stone pillars, and the three big characters of "Nantianmen" shine brightly.
Through the Nantian Gate, Zhao Shen could vaguely see the towering palaces in the clouds and mist behind!
"I'll go, extreme contrast, this is the fairy world?" Although Zhao Shen already knew the rules of this food battle, he was still shocked by these scenes.
"That's right, this is the South Heavenly Gate, in the Lower Demon Rite Sea." The man who had just spoken replied.
Mo Lihai: One of the four generals of the Demon Family, with great magical powers, holding a jade pipa with four strings on it, and also pressing 'earth, water, fire, and wind', plucking the strings, and the wind and fire are coming.
……
I saw that the back carapace of the crab was blue-gray, shiny, the abdomen was white, the golden claws were thickly covered with yellow hair, the color was bright, the umbilicus was rounded, convex outward, the limbs were firmly connected and curved shape, it was big and old, the activity was powerful, and it was crawling around, which showed its freshness.
At the same time, there was a halo on the crab's body, and the spiritual power formed a mist, even if it was restrained, it would not stop, and the clouds around it were like waves.
"Do you have any requirements? For the ingredients. Zhao Shen returned to the topic and asked, taking a look at the crab by the way.
The crab was staring at Zhao Shen with wide eyes, even if he had been imprisoned in strength, he still didn't dare to become a fish.
The pair of powerful pliers clamped at Zhao Shen, if Zhao Shen hadn't dodged in time, just looking at the size of its pliers, it was definitely not as simple as bleeding.
"Be careful, this crab is strange and fierce." Mo Lihai said, and added: "You can just watch it, it's best to be similar to the food in the world, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
Although crab is a delicacy in food, it is known as the folk proverb of "a plate of crabs, a dish on the top table". But just steaming or boiling a few crabs seems to lose the meaning of the gastronomic battle.
Zhao Shen thought about it and decided to make some classical delicacies according to the ancient recipe, and legend has it that even if the crab was on the emperor's table, it was also an extremely noble dish.
He first took out a few Jiuxian chickens, chopped off the chicken feet, and prepared to marinate some chicken feet for later use.
He cut the chicken feet from the hind leg bones, removed the nails, and then changed the knife to split two petals, and soaked them in the source of the iceberg for a while to soak away the blood.
Turn around and add water to the iron pot of the chef, take out the chicken feet and put them into the pot, the water is exactly 1.5 times more than the chicken feet. Then add green onions, ginger, garlic, chili, peppercorns, cooking wine, salt, and some rock sugar powder, then add the secret marinade and put it in the marinade packet to seal tightly, and boil over high heat.
After this treatment, the chicken feet have a basic base taste, which can be said to be slightly sweet and spicy, traditional and full of heart.
After boiling over high heat, switch to low heat and simmer, and after a while, the thick aroma of lo-mei will come out, which will make people appetite.
……
Of course, Zhao Shen is not going to make chicken, this time, Jiuxian chicken is only used as a side dish!
While marinating the chicken feet, Zhao Shen began to process the crabs.
It was said that the eyes of the crabs were dead, but he clearly felt that these crabs were staring at him. After all, they are not mortal things, and it seems that it will not work to clean them up in a hard way. If the hard one doesn't work, then let's go for the soft one.
Zhao Shen took out a section of green bamboo wine, cut it with a knife and soaked it in it. After a while, Zhao Shen noticed that their eyes seemed to be in a daze, motionless.
It seems that this good wine is not only liked by people, but also by living creatures. Apparently this dude is already drunk.
Zhao Shen tapped them with a knife and made sure that they were unconscious before he began to officially clean them.
He picks one up first, grabs its back, and lifts the crab to a position where his chin is level, as the angle of view from this position is the best.
He picked up the brush and slammed it towards the belly of the crab, which was already flat, and no corners were missed when brushing. After carefully checking that there is no dirt, it is disposed of in another bucket and the next one is washed.
As a chef, Zhao Shen does not allow the ingredients to be unclean, or even a little clean.
After everything was cleaned, he really began to officially process the crabs, that is, to clean the crab guts.
He opened the crab cap, removed the gills, heart, and stomach, smeared corn starch on the knife, cut the crab in half, and slapped it on it a few times with the kitchen god knife before the crab claws cracked.
This will allow the flavor to be deeply moisturized.
Lock in the crab roe and juice with cornstarch when cutting.
To clean the internal organs of the crab, it is simply necessary to do four clearances. One clears the crab stomach, which is commonly known as the "crab monk", that is, a triangular bone bag in the center of the front edge of the back shell, with dirty sand inside; Second, remove the crab intestine, that is, a black line from the crab stomach to the crab navel; Three clear crab heart, crab heart is extremely cold, hexagonal, also called "hexagonal meat", it is in the center of the crab, under a black membrane coating, you can take a crab toe to pick out; Fourth, remove the crab gills, that is, the two rows of soft things that grow on the crab's abdomen like eyebrows, also known as "crab shutters". The above parts are dirty and have no edible value, so do not chew them indiscriminately to avoid food poisoning.
……
At the same time that Zhao Shen handled the crabs, the chicken feet were also marinated, and he did not take out the chicken feet after turning off the heat, but poured out the soup and soaked the chicken feet to make them more flavorful.
He takes a pine dew and uses it instead of potatoes, a compound ingredient that brings the quality of the dish to a new level.
Zhao Shen made the pine dew into a condensation paste, put it into the pot with fresh lotus root slices, stir-fried it a few times in the pot, and poured it into the pressure cooker, and the time was controlled for about two minutes.
After it is ripe, pour it out and put it at the bottom of the large plate for later use, and at the same time, Zhao Shen has already boiled a pot of hot oil, put the crab in it, and fried it until it is about seven ripe.
He started another pot, heated the iron pot with cold oil, put in a small amount of dried chili peppers, sesame peppers, and then put in garlic slices and ginger to stir fragrant, a simple aroma spread to the end of the screen.
Mo Lihai carefully smelled this simple and simple taste, which reminded him of the days he spent in the human world before, there was no prosperity in the fairy world, only the warmth and calmness of the human world.
Zhao Shen was accustomed to these tastes. He added spicy sauce and broth to the pot, poured in the meat crab and chicken feet and stir-fried, reduced the juice on high heat, turned off the heat, poured a pot of delicious food into the large plate, and sprinkled a handful of chives, which ended perfectly.
