Chapter 40: The Whole Fish Feast and the Shabu Brother
For how to cook an aquatic mobfish.
The correct answer given by Jiang Ember in the end is this, "spring water shabu-shabu".
This way of eating shabu-shabu is inspired by the Chao-style beef hot pot.
Before the crossing, Chao-style beef hot pot was Jiang Yan's favorite hot pot cooking method.
The fresh beef is cut very lightly by the chef, ensuring that the meat slices are cooked in just a few seconds.
The soup base of the hot pot is nothing special, the beef bone broth is boiled beef, highlighting a cannibalistic feeling of "beans crying in the kettle".
If it's a good restaurant, you can drink a bowl of clear soup before shabu-shabu.
Put some celery and ginger shreds in a bowl and pour the hot beef bone broth over the bottom of the pot, and it tastes quite sweet.
Immediately after that, it's the shabu-shabu.
Snowflakes, hanging dragons, hanging dragon companions, spoon kernels, spoon handles, chest stalks, tender meat, fat calluses, three-flower toes, five-flower toes......
All kinds of beef, which make people feel unfamiliar when they hear the name, are quickly put into the hot pot.
After three soak and three drying, it is quickly out of the pot with a mouth-watering delicious attitude.
In order to ensure that each meat retains the ultimate taste.
There are special requirements for the blanching time of almost all parts.
Seven or eight seconds as fast as it is, and one or two minutes as slow.
Finally, put the blanched beef into a dipping sauce with sa cha sauce and take a bite.
The flavor of beef is so fresh that it's much more delicious than holding a steak or something.
This is because it brings out the flavor of the meat without over-processing.
Jiang Ember came up with the idea that he could use the spring water from which the Devilfish grew with fish bones as a soup base.
The thinly sliced fish is then blanched slightly.
As it turns out, this cooking technique is quite good.
The fillet has not lost its sacred power after being simply blanched.
And because the fat of the fish is activated at high temperatures, the flavor is also on the next level.
It's not, just after trying this way of eating shabu-shabu.
The few people at the table were immediately immersed in the delicious taste that had never been seen before.
"This, is this really fish? It tastes so oily. ”
Finally, I picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and successfully scalded it and ate it.
Even Kassandra, who had tasted so many delicacies, couldn't help but squint.
The meat of the fish is white and tender because it is rich in fat.
The feeling in the mouth is quite moist.
These fats are not tiresome at all.
It even has an elegant fruity aroma.
It really makes people want to eat more and more, and the more they eat, the more they can't stop.
For a moment, Kassandra, Lannassel, Ellulu, and Yumi all began to move their chopsticks quickly.
A pair of red sandalwood chopsticks constantly pick up the fish from the plate.
Then put the translucent fish meat into the fish bone broth and soak it a few times.
Finally, with a happy expression, I put it in my mouth and chewed it.
Well? What? Why are there only four names on it?
Of course, it's because there's a little fool at the table who doesn't need chopsticks at all.
"Damn...... This thing...... How could it be...... It's so hard to use! ”
While the rest of the crowd was already happily stirring up the meat.
An Jie was still clumsily struggling with the chopsticks in her hand.
I have to say that An Jie's action of holding chopsticks is a disaster.
Watch her struggle to cross her chopsticks together and slowly pick up a piece of fish.
But before I could put it in the hot pot, it fell to the ground again.
That kind of torturous scene really made Jiang Yan unbearable.
In desperation, he had no choice but to cry and laugh and say:
"Anjie, give me the chopsticks, I'll help you clip them."
“...... No. ”
"Huh? Why not? ”
"They can all be clamped, I can't do it, huh!"
If you want to talk about An Jie, it's really brainless.
What? Do you all think that the old lady can't use chopsticks?
Hum! Even if the old lady doesn't eat this meal, she has to learn to show it to you on the spot!
Seeing that this pure white fool began to drill the tip of the horns again, he looked like a wild bull rushing.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and used his chopsticks to shake a piece of fish meat and sent it to An Jie's mouth.
If you continue to toss her like this, she doesn't know what the fish tastes like after everyone has eaten it.
I had no choice but to feed it.
As for why Jiang Ember had to use his own chopsticks to feed.
Naturally, it was because he only asked Ellulu to make six pairs of chopsticks in the afternoon.
In the absence of chopsticks, isn't that the only way to go?
"Come on, ah~~~~~~"
"Ahhh You're my child! I don't ...... Ahh Oooh oh! It tastes like the same thing! ”
An Jie's biggest advantage is that his knees are hard enough, but his mouth is very honest.
After tasting the delicious taste of shabu-shabu fillet, she turned her head directly to Jiang Yan and winked.
Then he picked up his chopsticks and practiced there pretendingly.
In fact, he enjoyed the good meat sent by Jiang Ember one bite after another.
So unconsciously, Jiang Ember became An Jie's shabu brother.
Boy..... Isn't this smart in PUA for me?
But that doesn't seem to be bad, forget it, I'm too lazy to care about it so much.
I used the chopsticks that Anjie had just bitten to pick up a piece of fish and soaked it when I ate it.
Jiang Yan actually felt that this meat seemed to taste even sweeter...... Presumably a psychological effect.
In this way, as An Jie also joined the battlefield, this dinner was also enjoyed by everyone.
And during the meal, Jiang Yan also noticed everyone's personal preferences.
Although the food is delicious, everyone will enjoy it.
But everyone will definitely have their own preferences, and they will subconsciously choose their favorite flavors.
It just so happened that Jiang Ember divided these aquatic devil fish into different parts and put them on the plate, so that the preference seemed more obvious.
Among them, Kassandra's favorite is the relatively balanced "fish back meat".
The meat in this part is soft and sweet at first.
There is a bit of gluten under the chewing, which perfectly combines the freshness of lean meat and the sweetness of fatty meat.
And Anjie's favorite is the "fish tail meat" with the best taste.
Because it swims a lot, this part is very refreshing to eat when it is cooked.
When you chew, you can even hear the porphyry crunch in your mouth, which is really refreshing.
In contrast, Lannasel's favorite is the juiciest "fish belly meat".
The belly of the fish has the most fat, and the meat quality is also delicate and warm.
With each bite, it is as if fat bursts in the mouth, sliding into the belly with a strong aftertaste.
There is also Elulu, whose favorite is the lighter "fish face meat".
This part of the meat is the softest and has no fat.
Blanch it a little and put it in your mouth, and it will melt on the tip of your tongue immediately, like a marshmallow.
By the way, the most unexpected thing is Yumi.
The child's favorite part to eat is actually the internal organs of the fish.
When processing, ginger embers specially put fish roe, fish bubbles, fish intestines, fish liver, fish white and other internal organs on a plate.
Originally, he thought that the girls would not like to eat offal, and planned to eat them himself for a while.
Who knew that when he fed An Jie, he turned his head and was about to eat the offal.
only to find that a plate of internal organs had already been eaten silently by Youmi.
The kind of food that is slightly astringent but unusually delicious, and has a slight visceral smell.
It seems to be very much in line with Yumi's taste...... It's really unseemly.
