Chapter 249: The Big Fish Succeeds
Zhao Shen began to handle the ingredients. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He cut off the head of the fish and scaled it off. Use a kitchen knife to break evenly from the back to remove the gills and black membrane.
The gills are the respiratory organs of the fish, which are equivalent to the lungs of humans. It is the 'filter' that the fish breathe in the water, and it is dirty and cannot be eaten. Therefore, when killing a fish, it must be dug up, and a large amount of poison may accumulate here.
The black membrane in the body of the fish is scientifically called the "visceral layer of the inner membrane". It is found between the abdominal wall and the internal organs of the fish, and plays the role of lubricating and protecting the internal organs. Because the membrane of the fish is differentiated from its "gonad" tissue, and the fat content of the membrane is high, it has a strange fishy smell.
Some people believe that this membrane has the effect of filtering pollutants and is therefore "very toxic". In fact, "filtering poisons" is not the function of this membrane, but due to its high proportion of fat content, when pollutants such as heavy metals and pesticides enter the fish, they will be concentrated in the adipose tissue, so that the membrane and the adipose tissue of the fish body are polluted together.
However, it is wrong to judge the degree of contamination of the inner membrane by the depth of its color. The "dirty" in the "visceral layer of the inner membrane" should be read as "zang" four sounds, referring to the internal organs, not the dirty organs.
The color of the inner membrane is determined by its melanin content. Therefore, there is no basis for the claim that the black film is a toxic contaminant. But the fishy smell of the inner membrane was too heavy, so Zhao Shen carefully scraped it clean with a knife.
……
He raised and dropped his knife, and a flash of light and shadow flashed, and he punched a beautiful half-moon flower knife on the head of the fish. Then wash the fish head, cut a few slices of old ginger and a few pieces of chives, and put it in water with the fish head, which needs to be soaked for 15 minutes, so that it can better remove the smell and increase the fragrance.
During this period, he took out a bowl of chopped peppers, poured high liquor into it, stirred well, put it aside for later use, and boiled a pot of boiling water.
This chopped pepper is not made of those ordinary chili peppers, it is the devil chili pepper that was gilded white crispy and used to make gilded lobster.
He didn't know what would happen to this devil's chili pepper when it was made into chopped pepper, after all, it was an attempt that no one had ever tried before.
……
When the water is boiling, Zhao Shen slices the ginger and the green onion into sections, spreads them on the bottom of the plate, takes out the soaked fish head and drains it and puts it on it, smears it with oyster sauce and monosodium glutamate, and then spreads the chopped pepper on the fish head.
Then put the plate into the steamer, cover it, and steam it over high heat.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Shen took out the steamed fish head and poured out the excess soup on the plate. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, drizzle in the steamed fish soy sauce, then heat the oil in a kitchen iron pot and splash it on top.
"Zila." A burst of white water vapor instantly steamed, mixed with a unique sour and hot oil explosion of chopped peppers.
A new plate of chopped pepper fish head is complete. The hot and spicy red chopped pepper is covered with white and tender fish head meat, which is delicate and crystalline, and has a hot and fragrant aroma.
It smells appetizing, and while most people like to eat some simple, light porridge in the morning, the red, fiery fish head with chopped pepper has a different kind of appeal, and the aroma wafting out of thin air makes you can't help but move your appetite.
The steaming method allows the freshness of the fish head to be retained in the meat as much as possible, and the flavor of the chopped pepper penetrates into the fish meat just right, and the "freshness" of the fish head and the "spiciness" of the chopped pepper are integrated into a gentle and elegant spicy taste.
……
Zhao Shen had just finished the fish here, and Dongdong couldn't wait to rush up.
Zhao Shen looked at Dongdong, who pounced excitedly, stretched out his hand and lifted it, and said, "This chopped pepper is used for the first time, I'll taste it first and see if I can eat it." ”
"I'll add a cake, beef, and chicken thighs for you later. This can be eaten for you if you can. Zhao Shen looked at the dissipated ice crystals in his hand and Dong Dong who appeared next to the plate, and said at the fastest speed.
He didn't want to spoil this little guy, although he was reluctant to be woken up just now, but it was better to try the dishes himself.
It's just that what makes Zhao Shen depressed is that this guy doesn't listen to him at all in front of the food, if it weren't for the food as a condition, I'm afraid Dongdong would have eaten all the plates.
After listening to Zhao Shen's words, Dong Dong bit his finger and looked at the fish head, muttered with a small mouth, looked at Zhao Shen again, swallowed his saliva hard, as if he had made a lot of determination, and flashed directly to Zhao Shen's shoulder.
In her opinion, this is the best place to steal the food for a while.
Zhao Shen looked at the new dishes on the plate, the color was red and bright, the soup was clear and light red, and there was a faint oil flower. First of all, the look was definitely a success.
Take a deep breath and come to your nose with an oily spicy taste, which is heavy but appetizing. What follows is a refreshing fragrance that reaches the brain. The taste is also very tempting, so the next step is to try it.
……
Zhao Shen took a bite of the fish and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the fish was fat but not greasy, the taste was soft and glutinous, the meat was delicate, and the mouth was full of fresh and spicy feeling.
The fish is already fat, and it is steamed, and the juice is almost completely locked in it, and it is full of flavor when you eat it. The light soup and the fish meat directly achieve the effect of clearing the mouth and relieving greasy, which adds a lot of color.
After Zhao Shen swallowed the fish, he tasted another bite of chopped pepper, which was pickled, and the steamed devil pepper seemed to fall into a deep sleep, which did not make Zhao Shen feel uncomfortable.
"Whew" Zhao Shen felt as if a line of fire suddenly spread outward from his stomach, and he felt a warmth all over his body, and couldn't help but exhale. At the same time, his tongue couldn't help but burst out with an inexplicable hot sensation that hit his taste nerves.
There is no doubt that this must have been caused by gilt white puff pastry. To use an inappropriate analogy, it's really a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse.
Zhao Shen thought about it and handed the chopsticks to Dongdong. Yes, this new dish has been declared a success.
At the same time, the main and most important thing is that this dish has no fish bones, that is, it can be eaten in a big bite.
After a busy morning, although Zhao Shen was still very sleepy, he finally made up for the dishes in Zhao Shen's shop.
Of course, the most refreshing thing to eat is Dongdong, which is completely incarnated into a fat cat, sitting on the plate and holding the fish and sending it to the mouth, from time to time it is spicy and cold, but it can be seen that it is also very refreshing.
……
In fact, the general chopped pepper fish head does not have such a fiery taste, but with some gilt white puff pastry, although it is only a little bit, it also makes the whole dish hot.
looked at the time, and it was time for business, so Zhao Shen gave up the preparation of sleeping back and started the official business directly.
Although he was sleepy, he didn't want to be surrounded by a group of diners.
