Chapter 47: Delicious hairy crabs, greasy meatballs

Hairy crab, a delicious ingredient.

There are many ways to make it, but the most suitable one is steaming.

In the past, Lin Feng once taught Lin Lan the practice of hairy crabs.

Lin Lan still remembers very clearly, after learning a few specialized skills, his confidence in cooking has gradually increased, he has never done hairy crabs, but it does not prevent him from giving it a try at Du Mingfei's house tonight.

The hairy crab has long been washed clean by Aunt Song. The first step for Lin Lan to do was to pour some cooking wine on each hairy crab, then put them into a pot with boiling water and steam them for fifteen minutes.

There can be more time, but there must be no less!!

Otherwise, the crab has not thoroughly absorbed the cooking wine, and it may have a slight fishy smell.

Steamed hairy crab, and most importantly, its sauce. According to the recipe in his memory, Lin Lan first poured an appropriate amount of aged vinegar, a little steamed fish soy sauce, a drop of white sugar, and a few grains of black pepper in a bowl.

Finally, add a few drops of ginger juice to this bowl of sauce.

With the boiling of the water in the pot, the hairy crabs in the steamer gradually emitted a sweet aroma, which spread out of the kitchen and went to the living room.

"It's so fragrant, it's worthy of Brother Lan!" Du Mingfei, who smelled the smell, sniffed violently, revealing an intoxicated expression.

"Mingfei, you are with Lin Lan every day, why haven't you ever praised his cooking skills before?" Du Tai glanced at his son who was not angry.

Lin Lan became the ambassador of Green Vine Food at a young age!!

Du Mingfei follows Lin Lan every day, why don't you see him, there is a little bit of interest!

"I don't know, Brother Lan, I've never cooked before, and since his parents went on a trip, I only knew that he was so good at cooking." Du Mingfei also looked puzzled, he had indeed never seen Lin Lan cook before.

"You two sons, I can't figure this out, Lin Lan and his parents were there in the past, which round got him to cook, but now they are not here, Lin Lan, don't you have to cook yourself?" Aunt Song threw a disdainful glance at the father and son.

Du Mingfei's family, what are they talking about?

Lin Lan didn't know, he was there, holding a kitchen knife, chopping the meat filling. Tonight, he's going to delve into the recipe for rock sugar balls.

In his opinion, this dish is not difficult, there should be no need, go to Chen Baolin for advice, he may be able to complete the task of the system by himself.

Rock sugar meatballs, a traditional dish of green vine, are very delicious and go well with rice. Fried first and then slipped, the taste is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy, there is a small sweet and sour mouth, and the color is very beautiful.

After the minced meat is chopped, the washed and peeled water chestnut is chopped into cubes. To make meatballs, eggs are naturally indispensable, remove the egg whites, leave the yolks, throw in the meat filling, and add cooking wine, salt and pepper in turn.

Lin Lan took the chopsticks and stirred the meat filling in a clockwise direction. This is a meticulous job, and it must not be frizzy, otherwise there will be a mistake, so that the meat filling is not smooth, and you will not be able to make delicious rock sugar balls.

After the egg yolk is thoroughly mixed, add the diced water chestnut, minced green onion, minced ginger and a little dry starch, and a new round of stirring begins.

At this time, the time for hairy crab steaming has also arrived.

Lin Lan turned his head and shouted into the living room: "Mingfei, the hairy crab is fine, come and bring it out!" ”

"Here we go!" Du Mingfei, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately ran into the kitchen and took away the eight hairy crabs that had been set on a plate by Lin Lan.

Soon, all the dishes were brought to the table. In addition to hairy crabs and rock sugar balls, there are also braised prawns in oil, water spinach with garlic paste, and boiled broccoli.

Lin Lan's carefully made rock sugar balls were the last to be served. He came to the table with the dishes, and Du Mingfei hurriedly took them from him.

"Brother Lan, this is rock candy balls, right! It's so troublesome for you, this dish, that's not, you can eat it there! ”

"That's right! Xiaolan, you can just cook a few dishes, it's fine, why do this! Originally, you were in a noodle restaurant, and after a busy day, you were tired enough. ”

Aunt Song showed a heart-wrenching expression and beckoned Lin Lan to sit down.

"Ha, uncle, aunt, you guys, try rock sugar balls first, this is the first time I've made them, I don't know yet, what the taste is!" Lin Lan, who had just sat down, immediately motioned to everyone to go and taste it.

Du Tai glanced at the brightly colored rock sugar balls, took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks, picked up a meatball full of sweet and sour sauce, and slowly put it into his mouth.

After taking a bite, I found that it was very tender, and the whole meatball, and soon, it was chewed, and the rich aroma of the meat began to spread between the lips and teeth. After eating a meatball, I found that it seemed to have a slightly greasy feeling.

Not at all, the desire to clip a meatball again!!

Lin Lan, who was staring at Du Tai, did not react after seeing Du Tai finish eating. In an instant, I understood that this rock sugar ball did not satisfy Du Tai.

"It's not delicious! I think it's good! Du Mingfei swallowed a meatball and sandwiched another one, but found Du Tai without saying a word.

"It's not delicious, your dad, he doesn't like to eat meat, and you don't know it!" Aunt Song sensed that something seemed to be wrong with the atmosphere, so she sandwiched some water spinach, put it in Du Tai's bowl, and pushed him again.

Du Tai also realized that the atmosphere was a little stiff at this time, and he just wanted to speak.

I heard Lin Lan say: "It's not delicious, it's too normal, when I did it just now, I felt that something was wrong, let's eat hairy crabs first!" ”

Although Lin Lan's heart was a little depressed, the expression on his face was very optimistic, and he took a hairy crab and put it in Du Mingfei's bowl.

After that, everyone began to eat crabs happily, no one, and then went to mention rock sugar balls, where was it not good.

The plump hairy crab with the secret sauce is amazing!!

Lin Lan tried to eat a meatball, but because he couldn't help the greasy feeling, he spit it out, and he also understood that this time, it was a complete failure.

On the dining table, a large plate of rock sugar balls, it can almost be said that they were all wrapped by Du Mingfei, and he ate a mouth full of oil.

The oil is not greasy, it doesn't seem to have any effect on him at all!!

After the meal, Lin Lan stayed and talked for a while, homely.

"Lin Lan, your parents, why did you go out to travel for so long?"

"I don't know very much about this, they only told me that they went to the Maldives and came back that day, and they didn't tell me."

"Is that so......" Du Tai touched his chin, frowning slightly.

Du Mingfei licked the popsicle and said casually: "Lin Lan, that food promotion ambassador, what's the use!" No, just put it on a name! ”

"It's really, a name, given to me, a compilation." Lin Lan took out the work card that he was carrying from his pocket.

This is, something like an ID card.

[Name: Lin Lan]

[Position: Member of the Green Vine Food Promotion Group]

[Title: Food Ambassador]

Du Tai stretched out his hand, took the work permit, glanced at it, and asked suspiciously:

"Lin Lan, if you have an establishment, you can be regarded as a member of the public family!"
