Chapter 64: It's Delicious to Look at
Looking at Jiang Yu's side again, his handling of fish heads and chopped peppers is not much different from Lu Jinsheng.
If there has to be a difference, it is that when marinating the fish head, in addition to cooking wine and ginger, he also spreads an even layer of pre-prepared sauce on top of the fish head.
After stir-frying the chopped peppers to bring out the fragrance, he also began to put the fish heads on a plate and spread them with the chopped peppers.
However, before steaming, Jiang Yu took another step, that is, he covered the plate with a layer of plastic wrap and poked some fine holes in the plastic wrap with a toothpick.
After seeing Jiang Yu's movements, Lu Jinsheng suddenly laughed, nodded and said:
"Chopped pepper fish head is a steamed dish, and the water vapor will flow back to the plate, so there will be too much soup, and the soup of the steamed fish will smell fishy, which will make the whole dish taste worse.
We usually discard the excess soup from the steamed fish or do other treatments.
Boss Xiaojiang covered the plate with plastic wrap, which is also a way to avoid the backflow of water vapor and at the same time allow the fishy smell to evaporate. ”
The method used by Jiang Yu is not new, some people have used it for a long time, and the reason why Lu Jinsheng wants to explain it is mainly for Hu Zhihai and others, after all, they don't know how to cook, and they don't understand this.
"The fish is easy to cook, can it be steamed for a while and eaten?"
Hu Zhihai saw that Jiang Yu had already steamed the fish head, and stared at the steaming cauldron with bright eyes.
"Well, it's good to steam for more than ten minutes."
Lu Jinsheng was in a very good mood today, he replied with a smile,
"However, Boss Xiao Jiang is covered with plastic wrap, the temperature will be higher, and the cooking will be faster, and he will serve the pot later than mine, so he can almost come out of the pot at the same time."
After a pause, he added,
"The fish can't be steamed for a long time, otherwise the moisture in the meat will be lost, and it will become firewood and dry to eat, and it will not taste good at all."
"Oh, I see."
Hu Zhihai nodded carelessly, thinking to himself, it turns out that there is so much attention to cooking a dish.
However, he is generally only responsible for eating and not cooking, and he doesn't need to know this, he just needs to know whether the dish is good or not.
Anyway, there is Jiang Yu here, he still has to worry about not having anything to eat?
Between the two of them talking, Jiang Yu was not idle, he also processed the rest of the fish body, and then chopped it into small pieces with a knife.
Immediately afterwards, the fish pieces were marinated with cooking wine, ginger, and a sauce made by themselves, covered with plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator.
These two large fish heads are enough for the people in the store to eat, and the fish pieces can be kept for the first time and made when they want to eat.
When Jiang Yu is busy with these things, the fish head is almost steamed.
Lu Jinsheng stepped forward to lift the lid of the pot, and a white mist mixed with a rich aroma steamed up, instantly filling the entire shop.
After bringing out the fish head, he discards the excess soup from the plate and sprinkles chopped green onion and white sesame seeds on the fish head.
Immediately after that, the fire was continued to burn a small spoonful of hot oil and poured it over the fish.
The aroma of chopped green onions and green onions, mixed with the spicy smell of chopped peppers, filled the room at once.
"Wow! It's delicious when you look at it! ”
Hu Zhihai's fat face was flushed, and his eyes were about to pop out.
Lu Jinsheng's plate of chopped pepper fish head is bright in color, and at first glance, the plate is full of bright red chopped peppers with oil.
The fish head, which is tender and tender, fresh but not fishy, is hidden under the chopped pepper, just like "a touch of white in ten thousand reds".
Then there are green green onions and white sesame seeds dotted in the middle, and people can't help but move their index fingers and salivate at a glance.
If it weren't for the slightest trace of reason in his mind, Hu Zhihai would have rushed up to feast at this time!
Not only Hu Zhihai, but Yan Tongtong and the others standing behind him also blushed and swallowed vigorously.
Even if Lu Chunming and Lu Shuwu, brothers and sisters, can eat this dish from time to time, their eyes are red at the moment, and they look eager to try.
Who doesn't want to try the top Hunan dishes made by Hunan cuisine?
Seeing that everyone was looking greedy, Lu Jinsheng was not surprised, he smiled and said:
"Bear with me a little longer, and after Boss Xiaojiang and I have tasted each other, you can eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yu also bring the fish head out of the pot.
Probably because of the plastic wrap sealing, the chopped pepper fish head on his plate did not have such a strong fragrance wafting out.
Jiang Yu tore off the plastic wrap three times and twice, sprinkled chopped chives on the fish head, poured an appropriate amount of steamed fish soy sauce, and finally burned a spoonful of hot oil and poured it on the fish head.
It was not until this moment that the rich aroma of chopped pepper fish head suddenly came out.
But everyone can clearly distinguish that although the chopped pepper fish head made by Jiang Yu is also extremely fragrant, the fragrance is not the same as that made by Lu Jinsheng, which makes people can't help but have a big appetite when they smell it, and the hunger pang appears inexplicably.
"Goo-goo!"
Suddenly, the sound of a belly screaming clearly came into everyone's ears, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Hu Zhihai touching his stomach with one hand, and said with an embarrassed smile,
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I digested quickly, and I accidentally got hungry again."
"Haha, young people, it's normal to eat a little bigger, when I was as young as you, I had to eat four or five meals a day!"
Lu Jinsheng said with a smile, turned his head again, looked at Jiang Yu with a satisfied face, and said with a smile,
"Boss Xiaojiang, we're all done chopping pepper fish heads, why don't we taste each other?
Also, let my little granddaughter taste each other, although she is not a gourmand yet, but her ability to taste food is no worse than those gourmets! ”
"Okay, Grandpa Lu, come first."
Jiang Yu smiled, his face full of confidence.
This self-confidence is not so much a trust in one's own cooking skills as a kind of confidence in the backing of the food system.
In fact, he was still a little fortunate that Lu Jinsheng chose to make the dish of chopped pepper fish head instead of other Hunan dishes.
Chopped pepper fish head is a steamed dish, the whole fish head only needs to be cut, and then spread the chopped pepper on the pot to steam, the method is extremely simple.
In this way, his technical disadvantages in knife work, spoon work, and pot turning were almost neutralized.
If Lu Jinsheng chooses to make quick stir-fried dishes such as bandit pork liver or pickled pepper chicken offal, then even if Jiang Yu has the recipe provided by the system, I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with a master of Hunan cuisine who is first-class in all aspects of cooking.
After listening to Jiang Yu's words, Lu Jinsheng was not polite, took a pair of clean chopsticks from the side, sandwiched a small piece of fish meat into the dish made by Jiang Yu, and put it in his mouth.
As soon as this fish meat entered his mouth, Lu Jinsheng couldn't help but close his eyes, and a pair of eyebrows began to tremble involuntarily......
