Chapter 1260: The Lone Horseshoe Crab (Part II)
The horseshoe crab has only one rectum, and both the seeds and the flesh are very crystalline, which looks very clean and smells very fresh, not slightly sharp like the taste of crabs, but can be compared to the gravy of oysters or mussels.
"It's not what it looks like on the surface... I've heard that horseshoe crabs smell very strong..."
Fierce and savage, cold and violent on the outside, is it actually a gentle type in his bones?
This is my money, Boss Lin said he was very excited.
In ancient times, most of the horseshoe crabs eaten by the people were raw, and this texture is very reminiscent of caviar...
Don't think about it, then just come ahead!
Generally speaking, the condiments of this raw sauce are mostly ginger, shallots, coriander and mustard, but the horseshoe crab sauce is obviously a different theme.
Lin Chou believes that its soul is actually chili, the chili pepper made into hot sauce, and the soul of hot sauce is dogwood.
Less salt, accompanied by dogwood and peppers with low spiciness, aroma and large moisture into the jar.
The hot sauce fermented with white wine and sugar looks scarlet in color, but in fact the spiciness is softer and the texture is thicker, and it does not take away the flavor of the horseshoe crab sauce itself.
Lin Chou took out the fermented hot sauce from the hot air box and thought it was not bad-
And he also has an alternative ingredient, which is the thunder mountain fish sauce that was made a long time ago.
As soon as the new hot sauce appeared, Lin Chou thought of the Leishan fish sauce he used to make with freshwater fish as the main ingredient, and the magical seasoning fermented by rock climbing fish and straw shoe insects felt that it should be very good to match.
The action is particularly gentle to wash the horseshoe crab meat and seeds with soaked green onion and ginger water, and to push them to wash themselves with a stream of water, rather than rubbing them like washing clothes.
After that, the meat, paste and seeds are separated, and the meat and paste are pounded together with the lemongrass and coriander to make a sauce, and finally the meat paste sauce is mixed with the hot sauce and horseshoe crab seeds.
Yes, Lin Chou finally decided to keep the horseshoe crab seeds intact.
And then—
Stir-fry, typhoon shelter, casserole baking, double winter stewed horseshoe crab soup.
What seafood has in common is that even the fancy you describe can't escape so many limited practices in the end, because that is the truth that most people grind out with taste and time.
It's like a rule, this thing should be eaten like this, and this thing is the best to eat like this.
After the incident, Lin Chou and Huang Dashan squatted in the kitchen directly to get started.
Chi Qi and Su Yourong were in a pressure formation, and there was no trace of psychological burden and guilt for the people who were waiting outside.
The meat of the horseshoe crab is white, the paste is yellow-green, and the fragrant willow and other things are pounded into a very light green, mixed with a little red of spicy sauce, and the crystal seeds of the horseshoe crab are like bright topaz beads, hidden in the middle of the want to cover up.
Su Yourong's little head was completely buried in the bowl,
"It smells so good..."
Lin Chou hurriedly pushed his head aside,
"You'll have to wait a while, this thing is a sixth-order."
"Oh..."
So poor Xiao Yourong watched with a big spoonful of horseshoe crab sauce into Lin Chou's mouth.
"The wet tiger's mouth can be opened so big..."
Lin Chou himself has a special preference for this kind of fresh food and is looking forward to it.
When the horseshoe crab sauce is eaten, the taste of the meat itself occupies the highest point on the tongue before the flavor of fragrant willow and hot sauce, which is a texture that does not exist when eating other seafood.
The freshness is superb, and the unique freshness of the sea creatures is difficult to describe perfectly in a few words.
He was particularly surprised by the overall feel of the horseshoe crab sauce on the tip of his tongue, which was a thick, elastic and stagnant sensation, which was enough to show how elastic the horseshoe crab meat was before it was pounded into the meat sauce, and even now, it can still easily pick up the clotted sauce with the tip of the tongue.
Subsequently, the spiciness of the lemongrass coriander and hot sauce began to channel the communication in the mouth.
"Tsk, this dogwood is really right!"
Lin Chou clenched his fists excitedly, unexpectedly that the inspiration at that time had created such a wonderful taste.
Dogwood is also known as Yue pepper, before the pepper was introduced into China, it firmly occupied the position of "spicy" in the absolute mainstream of the taste, "Yue" can be understood as its origin, Baiyue people make horseshoe crab sauce, how can they forget their more pepper.
The special aroma and spiciness, which is the upper hand of dogwood, cannot be ignored as a finishing touch, no matter how spicy and pungent the smell and taste of the willow lemongrass and hot sauce itself are.
Chew it again...
Hiss!
If you want to find the best annotation for the word "burst", it must be horseshoe crab seeds.
Horseshoe crab seeds are more crisp and tough than caviar, and when they explode between the teeth, they seem to have a rich aroma of extremely heavy animal fat and a subtle dry aroma of fried beans - the latter should be more intense and intense if it is a cooked horseshoe crab seed.
Lin Chou said without hesitation,
"Going to the horseshoe crab is undoubtedly the right decision I made this year."
It's so delicious, it's so wonderful, this thing is simply poison, how can you forget it after eating it once?
Just look at Huang Dashan's expression, this thing can't wait to break the bowl and dip it in the horseshoe crab sauce to eat.
Next...
The double winter stewed crab soup soup is slightly yellow and white, which seems to be monotonous, but in fact the method is not simple.
First of all, the horseshoe crab, seeds, ointment and blood are steamed in the pot with broth as the base, and the horseshoe crab meat is thoroughly cooked and directly soaked in ice, and then torn into as fine shreds as possible, the horseshoe crab blood and ointment are also shredded, and the winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms are shredded with simple seasoning and beaten into glass to make the soup base, and the horseshoe crab seeds, blood and shredded meat are slightly fried, and then the two are combined after the dry fragrance is stir-fried.
The flavor is rich, sweet and smooth, and it is a lone horseshoe crab.
"Tsk~"
Huang Dashan put down the soup bowl, somewhat crying and laughing,
"Lao Tzu has eaten a lot of good things, this mouthful of soup is down, I have a hunch, in addition to this meal, the next meal Lao Tzu can't afford to eat this thing..."
"How rare, drinking soup and tasting noble and elegant rush to the feet, this..."
However, the most inconspicuous thing in this is not this soup, but the stir-fried horseshoe crab tail triangle meat.
There is only such a piece on the root of each horseshoe crab's tail, and a big tail four or five meters long can pick out a piece the size of a baby's fist, God knows how many tails Lin Chou chopped to make such a big plate.
Tear into a horseshoe crab into a spindle shape, looking at the pearl round jade white as ivory, the slightly charred yellow meat is filled with a rich dry fragrance, chewing, the elasticity is amazing, but the inside is moistened with a whole bag of juice, and the gravy splashes to describe it as not having a little nonsense in it.
Lin Chou took a chopstick triangle and threw it into his mouth,
"It's extravagant, it's extravagant..."
It's rare, Boss Lin himself chewed so hard that his cheeks puffed out and his eyes were shining.
I don't know if Miss Horseshoe Crab has knowledge under Izumishita...
Hey?
I don't know how Miss Horseshoe Crab will feel when she sees this scene through the broken door panel in the back kitchen.
emmmm,
Why don't you give it a whole bite??
