Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 148 148. [Crab Roe Fried Rice] [Hang San Xian] [Steamed River Crab]

Xie Siyuan, with a smile on his face, praised

"That's right. As expected, it's the dish recommended by our gourmet anchor. It's really delicious. This soup is also really delicious."

Li Xiao laughed
"Where, where, I just like to drink soup."

When everyone heard his humility, they couldn't help but score higher in their hearts.

Not arrogant or impetuous, he can accomplish great things.

However, only Li Xiao himself understood that what he said was true, although the online reviews of this store were very good.

However, no one has ever been able to say clearly what is so good about [Fuya Restaurant] and which one is his signature dish.

It seems that every dish has a lot of likes and praises, and every dish seems to be the signature here.

Moreover, there are very few negative reviews here. Most of these few negative reviews are caused by the wrong taste, or the environment is not good enough, or the waiting time is too long.

As for which dish is particularly bad, there really isn't one.

Therefore, Li Xiao really chose this [Dried Bamboo Bamboo and Old Duck Soup] purely because he likes to drink soup.

While drinking soup, eat dried bamboo shoots and duck meat.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth dishes were also served together.

【Crab Roe Fried Rice】

【Hang San Xian】

【Steamed river crab】

The river crabs are not big, about 2 or [-] years old, there are males and females.

Of course, the male ones should be slightly larger, but they will not exceed 3 taels.

River crab, scientific name: Chinese mitten crab, also known as "crab" and "hair crab", a crustacean.

Of course, it now has a more noble name, which is "hairy crab".

Crab, especially river crab, is a very seasonal food.

As the saying goes: "When the autumn wind blows, the crab's feet itch, and the navel is round in September and sharp in October."

"Sea crabs eat meat, river crabs eat yellow." The hairy crab is most worth talking about, or the crab yellow, so there is a saying like [nine females and ten males].

In September, female crabs should be eaten. At this time, the roe of female crabs is full and thick;
In October, you should eat male crabs. At this time, the navel of male crabs is pointed, and the meat is firm.

However, eating it at other times will not be too bad, but it will be a little less fat and slightly inferior.

After all, whether it is crab roe or crab paste, they are the energy used by river crabs to survive the winter.

After half of the winter, the energy will naturally be reduced by more than half, and the deliciousness will naturally be reduced a lot.

However, Hangzhou is the place where river crabs are produced, so they are fresh enough and transported over a short distance, so that these slight flaws become less obvious.

There are a total of ten 2 taels of hairy crabs here, obviously not the legendary Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.

After all, given the price, it was beyond Li Xiao's expectation to have such a big crab.

Li Xiao picked a female crab with a round belly. After all, he likes to eat crab roe, but not the crab paste of a male crab. It's not because of any weird reason, but mainly because of one word: fragrant!

Although the hairy crab in his hand was not full of crab roe in the carapace due to the winter, it didn't affect Li Xiao's love for him in the slightest.

After eating the hairy crabs, Li Xiao wiped his hands clean with a towel, picked up chopsticks and tasted the steaming [Hang San Xian].

[Hang San Xian] is a unique delicacy in the Hangzhou area. It is not only often served in restaurants, but also often made at home.

After all, one dish can be eaten for one meal, which not only saves time and effort when cooking, but also saves two dishes when washing dishes.

[Hang San Xian] Although the most important thing is chicken fire shrimp, that is, chicken, ham, and fresh shrimp.

But there are many main ingredients: chicken, ham, river prawns, fish balls, meat balls, fat skin (fried pork skin), belly tip (point of pork belly), bamboo shoots and leek sprouts (chives) You can replace it with bean sprouts and shredded baby dishes].

First cut the chicken legs into pieces, the ham into pieces, the belly tip into pieces, the bamboo shoots (bamboo shoots) into pieces, the hair skin into pieces, and the leek sprouts into small pieces.

After preparing all the materials, you can wait for the countdown of the rice cooker to start cooking.

After all, it doesn't take much time for just such a dish.

Put the hair skin, belly tip, chicken legs and bamboo shoots (bamboo shoots) into clean water, and after the water is boiled, scoop it up. This will remove the astringency and fishy smell of these foods, and blanch for 1 minute after the water boils.

Add a little lard into the oil pan, and the oil will smoke. First add the ham and stir-fry until the aroma is released, then pour in the blanched ingredients and stir-fry together.

Add water, the amount of water does not need to be too much, just cover the ingredients, add salt and sugar to taste.

Of course, some people who are not confident in their cooking skills can also add a little chicken essence and monosodium glutamate.

It should be noted here that [Hang San Xian] is an authentic stew, not a soup, so the water must not be too much.

After boiling, add river prawns, fish balls and meat balls. When the river prawns start to turn red, add bamboo shoots and leek sprouts (chives) [for picky eaters, you can replace them with bean sprouts and shredded baby vegetables].

Turn up the heat, add a little starch water to make the soup thicker, and you're done.

This [Hang San Xian] is very authentic.

Although Li Xiao is not from Hangzhou, he eats a lot of 【Hang San Xian】.

There is not much soup, just enough to cover the ingredients, but there will be no excess soup left on the plate.

The tip of the belly is very springy, not very hard, the bamboo shoots are very refreshing, and the river prawn is a small river prawn with a shell, which is very fresh and sweet.

However, this soup is a bit sweet. After all, the soup made by stewing so many ingredients will be very sweet, but when seasoning here, a lot of sugar is added.

If it wasn't for Li Xiao's taste for sweet food, he would definitely feel that this dish is too sweet.

However, considering that most of the people who come here to eat are locals, it is completely understandable that the seasoning is a little sweeter.

Presumably, this is also the reason why the system did not lower her score because of her sweet taste.

After all, different restaurants in different places have different guests to entertain.

Come to think of it, if a clear water beef hot pot or a pork belly and chicken soup hot pot are opened in Sichuan, even if the taste is good, the system's score may be correspondingly lowered a lot.

After all, a restaurant that can’t even do as the Romans do and adapt to local conditions really has no reason to get a high score.

Liu hurriedly licked the juice on his lips, shook his head and sighed

"I've been in Hangzhou for so long, and I'm still not used to the special dishes here, especially the special dishes in restaurants run by locals. They're too sweet."

As he spoke, he picked up the tea next to him and poured it into the innermost part.

Xie Siyuan quickly showed an apologetic expression,

"It's all my fault, otherwise."

Liu hurriedly put down the teacup,

"What do you say, I'm so happy today, eat, eat, this crab roe is delicious!"

As he spoke, he scooped up a large spoon and put it in Xie Siyuan's bowl, his slightly tired eyes were full of tenderness.

Li Xiao also picked up a spoonful of crab roe fried rice. The 38 yuan crab roe fried rice was full.

There must be a large bowl per person, but the crab roe fried rice here is not real crab roe, but a tricky way.

In the overnight cold rice, add an egg yolk.

Heat the pan with cold oil, add the beaten eggs, scramble the eggs to give out the aroma of the eggs, and then pour the overnight cold rice.

Master chefs who have lit up their cooking skills can choose to stir fry continuously.

Of course, if you don’t have lighting skills, ordinary readers can also use a frying pan, use medium heat to slowly fry the water in the cold rice, and fry the eggs until fragrant.

Take out the fried rice and set aside.

Heat oil in a cold pan, add crushed salted duck eggs, shrimp skin, egg whites, and crab sticks.

When the salted duck eggs are broken and white bubbles appear, immediately pour the fried rice next to it into the pot, stir fry all the ingredients evenly, and a crab roe fried rice with delicious color and flavor is complete.

Although there is no crab roe in the ingredients, it is completely unnecessary. Fried rice with crab roe is worse.

Li Xiao carefully looked at the fried rice in the bowl, and the heat was well controlled, although not every grain of rice was coated with egg liquid.

Cost control did not make this fried rice golden.

However, it is not necessary at all, some legendary golden fried rice is so bad.

The crab sticks are also made of real fish mixed with a small amount of starch, not those inferior crab sticks that only taste like crab meat but contain only starch.

The salted egg is very sandy, and under the skillful hands of the chef, it really looks like real crab roe.

After the shrimp skin is fried, the freshness effect is even better than MSG and chicken essence.

The egg whites are mixed with the salted egg yolk, shrimp skin, and crab meat, and the fake crab meat has a very good taste.

A spoonful of fried rice enters the mouth, the rice grains are distinct, there is no fishy smell of eggs, only the fragrance of eggs,

The combination of materials is very reasonable, and there is no use of inferior products because of the low price, or the use of less expensive ingredients in the ingredients and more cheap eggs.

After one bite, the mouth is full of salted egg yolk and crab sticks, imitating the taste of crab meat and crab roe.

Although the brain clearly knew it was a fake, the tens of thousands of taste buds distributed on the tongue tried to tell his brain that this was real fried rice made from crab roe and crab meat.

Xie Siyuan took two mouthfuls of fried rice with crab roe, and unconsciously showed a satisfied expression on his face, that kind of satisfied expression after eating delicious food.

"Hey, you said that the [Hang San Xian] just now was too sweet, so you can eat two more bites of this [Crab Roe Fried Rice] is really good!! You must like it."

Liu busy raised his eyebrows, he didn't know if it was because of the expression on Xie Siyuan's face, or because of what she said, he smiled happily and said

"Okay, I'll try it."

After talking three times, two and two, after eating the bamboo shoots in the bowl, I scooped up a few spoonfuls of golden [crab roe fried rice].

"kindness!?"

After one bite, Liu Mang's eyes lit up.

"good to eat"

After the words fell, another three or two mouthfuls of fried rice fell into his mouth.

I just heard him say vaguely

"I haven't eaten such delicious fried rice for a long time. Compared with the fried rice in other restaurants, it can only be said to be fooled."

Within two times, Liu busy finished the fried rice in the bowl, stood up, and filled another bowl.

Obviously, as Xie Siyuan said, this [Crab Roe Fried Rice] is very much to Liu Busy's appetite.

While eating, the last two dishes were also brought in.

But this time it was not the old aunt who served the dishes, but the manager who took orders for several people.
