Chapter 456: Salt-baked lobster
"But think about it, it's true, everyone except Lena used to be the most ordinary family, who has nothing to do to buy two big lobsters to eat?" Immediately, Zhao Xian also said with a smile.
The pressure came to Lina's side as soon as possible, but after getting along for so many days, everyone knows that Lina's cooking skills are simply at the level of dark cuisine, although there has been some progress these days, but it is still a little unsightly.
"Have you ever seen a rich man cook by himself?" But Lena just rolled her eyes and spoke.
In the end, Li Fei personally took over the job, and everyone was a little excited.
In fact, Li Fei rarely cooks now, so naturally everyone can't eat the food cooked by Li Fei himself.
"Captain, what are you going to do?" Li Han was about to flow out at this moment, and asked.
"Real food often only needs the simplest way to cook it, you see." Li Fei said confidently.
In fact, this kind of lobster is basically not the lobster they once commonly ate on the mainland, for ordinary people like them, most of the lobsters they eat are the most ordinary kind of lobster, the taste is average, the body shape is average, and most importantly, the probability is also artificially raised.
For upper-class people like Lina, most of the lobsters eaten are imported from Australia or Boston, and the taste is naturally very different from ordinary lobsters, and the freshness of the ingredients is also very demanding, plus the best chefs, and the best seasonings, the taste is naturally not ordinary!
And the lobster in front of him is obviously a wild lobster, and the taste is probably in the middle of the two, taking the big lobster to the back kitchen, Li Fei is really a little difficult.
To be honest, he was also a little afraid that he wouldn't be able to cook this lobster well, after all, his cooking skills could only be regarded as middle and upper class at best, and even how to deal with it stumped Li Fei.
But since he had already boasted about Haikou just now, he naturally couldn't let others see the jokes, so Li Fei still continued to deal with the lobster.
When he was dealing with it, he suddenly noticed the refined table salt that a native had just delivered, and suddenly he felt a little measured in his heart.
Salt.......
In an instant, Li Fei had an idea in his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he clapped his hands.
They can now sell almost all the salt they have in their hands, because the supply is far greater than the demand, after all, the amount of salt that everyone needs to consume every day is relatively fixed, and even if they don't consume it all day, it will not have much effect.
He was going to salt the lobster, but the first task now was to clean the lobster, which was obviously not an easy task.
Because the first step in handling lobsters is to release all the urine in their bodies, otherwise the food they make is not only unhygienic, but also very sour and difficult to swallow.
In fact, the method is relatively simple, but there will still be some discomfort in psychology.
But for the sake of his own mouth, and for everyone's mouth, he still turned the lobster over, opened a small opening from the abdomen, and used a sharp bamboo stick to pick open its weak abdomen, and followed the advocacy all the way, and the urine quickly flowed out.
After processing all the urine, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing was to kill the lobster and dispose of it.
Obviously, this is a complicated process, but it doesn't look much different from dealing with fish, so Li Fei stubbornly went on it.
The head of the big lobster was pressed on the stone, the latter seemed to have realized that his limit was approaching, but he struggled symbolically to return to the light, and then lay there without moving, Li Fei's hand was very fast, took out the dagger, looked at the position, and chopped off the head of the lobster.
Suddenly, this arm-length lobster is officially dead, and soon it will be sent to the table for everyone to enjoy.
Salted
The process is not difficult, Li Fei remembered that when he was a child, his mother liked to make a lot of salt-baked dishes for himself, and the taste was a must.
Naturally, the lobster can't be cut open, otherwise it won't be able to lock the most tender part of the flesh, and there is no tin foil on the island, so what to do next becomes a problem. ap.
But soon he had an idea, he instructed Li Han to find two banana leaves for himself, and under the temptation of food, Li Han also acted quickly.
The role of banana leaves is similar to that of lotus leaves, although they can't lock in moisture, it is not easy to find a substitute on this island, so Li Fei is naturally not qualified to find fault with anything.
After wrapping the lobster, Li Fei sealed the mouth with a rope, and the next step was the process of making a fire.
Soon the bottom of the pot was fried, and all the salt was poured down, which had just been refined, so it soon crackled in the pot.
Constant stir-frying can make the salt evenly heated, and soon a breath of salt rushed into Li Fei's nasal cavity, which he was very familiar with.
Because when my mother made salt-baked dishes for herself when I was a child, I would guard the stove and smell this position almost every time.
After the temperature of the salt almost reached Li Fei's expectations, he also threw the lobster wrapped in banana leaves into the pot.
I poured half a bucket of salt to cover all the lobsters, so that the food could be more flavorful.
During the long waiting process, Li Han kept talking to him, but his eyes kept staring at the inside of the pot, obviously he wanted to be the first person to taste the deliciousness.
Li Fei naturally didn't drive him away, because as we all know, Li Han is the master of food evaluation in their team, and if he thinks he has passed the test, others will naturally praise him.
About half an hour later, Li Fei opened the lid of the pot, and suddenly a stream of steam wafted on his face, and he took a breath.
After all, I haven't cooked for a long time, and it's the first time I've tried salt-baked, so if it is ruined, it will be a pity.
The hot banana leaves exuded heat, but even through the leaves, Li Fei could smell the faint fragrance of the lobsters inside.
He nodded in satisfaction and opened the leaf's package.
