Chapter 367 Afraid of getting fishbone when eating hairtail fish?Then make a hairtail that can even eat fishbone! 【Subscribe】

In the small kitchen, Lin Xu put the second-time relaxed chestnut crisps into the preheated oven and started baking.

The photographer took a close-up of the glass door of the oven, and then asked curiously:
"Boss, since we have added cocoa powder, can we use brown sugar?"

Lin Xu carefully washed the oil on his hands:
"It is not very recommended to use brown sugar, because the brown sugar will have a bitter taste if it is baked, so it is better to use white sugar. If you want to improve the color, add as much cocoa powder as possible."

After washing his hands, he wiped them and said:
"I've done a lot today, take some with me when I leave, and give it to everyone in the company."

"Okay, let me thank the boss for everyone."

"It's nothing to thank, just some food."

The chestnut cake needs to be baked for about ten minutes. Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu went outside and found that more and more people were listening. Zeng Xiaoqi even made a voice call to listen.

Obviously, this scene is very exciting.

Ren Jie took a bite of the small biscuits filled with pressed pork head meat:
"You have listened to it three times, and I'm tired of talking about it, aren't you tired of listening?"

Zeng Xiaoqi on the phone said:
"Can you explain in detail how the two of you kissed?"

The crowd laughed.

Chen Yan held the phone and said:

"Go to your job well, and be careful that I report you to catch fish at work."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Si Nizi, she has a lot to worry about, no wonder Xiong Xiong is so small, she has her eyes on her, right?
"Xu Bao, is the chestnut cake ready?"

"No, it'll be ready soon. What do you want for lunch? I'll let the kitchen prepare it. It's almost ten o'clock now. It's time to prepare lunch."

Baby Shen looked at Ren Jie and said:

"Let my brother-in-law tell, he made a great contribution last night, so no one will take credit for it this time, right?"

The girl is still aggrieved about this matter.

Ren Jie is also polite:

"Can you make some braised hairtail? I remember that when I was a child, it was not winter, and frozen hairtail was sold everywhere on the street. This is the only seafood that can be touched in the inland area... I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I feel a little greedy."

Lin Xu thought that Ren Jie would say something big.

Unexpectedly, it was just a very homely hairtail, so he said:
"Okay, that's no problem. I'll start preparing the chestnut crisps after baking. It just so happens that the store hasn't made this dish yet. Let's make more today so everyone can try it."

After finishing speaking, he rushed to Chezi and said:
"Go and buy some octopus. It's of higher quality. Let's eat it ourselves without considering the cost."

"Okay, I'll go to the market to pick."

After Che Zai left, Lin Xu returned to the kitchen and continued recording.

When the oven time is up, put on insulated gloves, open the oven, and a strong aroma will come out from inside.

The color of the chestnuts inside is slightly darker brown, the surface is oily, and because of the addition of baking powder, the chestnuts are slightly swollen and look more rounded.

This makes the chestnuts closer to the texture of real chestnuts.

Putting the prepared chestnut cakes and real chestnuts together, there is no obvious difference.

Several photographers were amazed to see it, and they didn't expect it to be like this at all.

After taking the close-up, Lin Xu picked up one and put it in his mouth. It was crispy in the mouth, and the chestnut puree inside had melted and became semi-liquid, and it was full of milky fragrance.

The sharp contrast between the skin and the filling makes the chestnut crisp taste even more delicious than fried chestnuts in sugar.

After one bite, the aroma of chestnuts, noodles, lard, crispy, milk, sesame... all kinds of aromas are mixed together, making people greedy instantly.

"Okay, today's video is finished, everyone can try it, it doesn't have to be like this, a little closer can add a lot of fun."

After the video, Lin Xu put the remaining chestnuts into the oven to continue roasting.

The roasted chestnut crisps in the baking tray are put into bamboo baskets lined with oil-absorbing paper, and brought outside for everyone to taste.

Walking out of the small kitchen, he saw two more people in black training uniforms in the store, who were whispering something to Ren Jie at the moment.

Others moved away a little, probably because they didn't want everyone to hear the conversation.

"what's the situation?"

Lin Xu put the prepared chestnut cakes in front of Shen Baobao, Chen Yan and Dou Wenjing, took a bite of one, and then asked.

"Ah, the chestnut cake is ready? I thought you brought a basket of raw chestnuts."

"It's like hey!"

"Those two are members of the Criminal Investigation Corps. They have been training with Ren Jie before. They came here today, as if they want to recruit Ren Jiete into the Criminal Investigation Corps."

Chen Yan took a bite of the chestnut crisp, and whispered while eating.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she recognized Ren Jie as a police officer because of her sudden craving for pancakes. As a result, Ren Jie failed the disguised assessment and lost the opportunity to join the Criminal Investigation Corps.

It made Chen Yan feel guilty for a long time, and always felt that she had delayed Ren Jie's future.

But the appearance of people from the main team now indicates that Ren Jie may return to the main team, and the damage she caused last time can be regarded as being made up for.

Not long after, Ren Jie got up and walked over and said:
"The team leader told me to report now, I'll go there, Xiaoyan, if you're sleepy, go back and rest, don't wait for me."

"Are you not coming to eat?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the leader's arrangement."

Just as he was about to leave after speaking, Lin Xu took a paper bag filled with some chestnut cakes and handed it over:
"Try it, it's new."

Ren Jie carried the chestnut cake and went downstairs with his two teammates from the special training.

When we got downstairs, seeing Dundun lying on the service desk playing self-playing ball, Ren Jie waved to the little guy:

"Dundun, Uncle is going back first. When I have time, I will introduce you to some friends who are police dogs. You will like them very much."

Who doesn't like playing with dogs... Dundun flicked his ears impatiently, and then continued to play with the ball.

"You are serious, can it understand what you say?"

"It can even understand "Moonlight Sonata", and it has already touched the human language at all."

These two people were the two people who drove a pickup truck to pick him up when Ren Jie set up a stall to make pancakes. When they walked out of the store, they were still talking about that experience.

"I didn't expect that you would share a pancake with a daughter-in-law."

"I should have known, when I disguised myself last time, I wouldn't pretend to be a community security guard."

Ren Jie said with a smile:

"How good it is to be a security guard, you can save more than ten years of detours, and maybe you can become a five-star general in Country Garden."

Several people got into the car chatting and laughing. Just as they started the car and left, Che Zai also bought the hairtail fish. They were all chilled hairtail fish. The silver scales on the surface were still intact and the quality was very high.

When he came upstairs, he heard that Officer Ren had left, so he asked curiously:

"Then do you still make hairtail fish?"

Chen Yan said:

"Do it, not only he is greedy, but I am also greedy... Yueyue, do you still remember the braised octopus that grandma made for us when we were young?"

"Remember, at that time you lied to me that the fish meat was not good, and that you had to eat fish bones to eat octopus. Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to be stuck to death by the fish bones... Why do you ask this? Do you want me to take revenge?"

Chen Yan smiled awkwardly:
"I was just kidding you. When my brother-in-law makes it, see if there is any difference between what he made and what grandma made."

Eating octopus and being stuck in the throat by a fishbone?
Lin Xu said:

"Then let's make a hairtail fish that can even eat fishbone today, so that you can feel the joy of eating hairtail without spitting out fishbone."

Baby Shen's eyes lit up:
"Really? That's so friendly to someone like me who doesn't know how to eat fish!"

The most fearful thing about eating fish is spitting out fish bones. Even if you eat hairtail, having fish bones can make people feel very uncomfortable.

It would be perfect if the fish could be eaten even with fishbone!

After roasting all the chestnut crisps, Lin Xu came to the big kitchen and started making crispy hairtail.

Pack the hairtail first.

There are not many thorns on the hairtail, except for the spine in the middle, it is the fin thorns on the back.

The fins of this kind of chilled hairtail are easier to handle. Cut the knife directly behind the head of the fish, and then pull and tear it. The entire fin and all the bones on the back will be torn off, which is much faster than picking with a knife.

Remove the fishbone, cut off the head and tail, and take out the internal organs.

The abdominal cavity of the hairtail is in the front, clean the internal organs, and rub the uppermost spine of the abdominal cavity with your fingers carefully.

There is a layer of film on it, and there is a lot of blood hidden in the film, which is the main source of the fishy smell, so it must be cleaned.

"Boss, do you want to scrape the fish scales?"

Ma Zhiqiang, who was helping to handle the hairtail, asked.

"No, just put it in the pan and fry it later, no need to scrape the scales."

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to remove the fish scales from directly fried hairtail, because the fish scales can be fried and dried in hot oil, and the fishy smell will also be taken away by the oil and gas.

But if it is batter, it is better to go for a while, because it is wrapped in batter, and the hot oil may not be able to fry it so thoroughly.

After all the hairtails have their head and tail fins removed and cleaned up, they start to change their knives.

It is very simple to change the knife of the hairtail. Just cut a straight knife on both sides of the fish body. The knife should not be less than half a centimeter, otherwise the fish will easily fall off the fish bone.

In addition, when making a flower knife, try to cut as far as possible to the spine of the hairtail.

Only in this way can the hot oil seep in, fry the fish bones until fragrant, and the octopus will be crispy and rotten, and it is no problem to eat the bones alone.

Cut the octopus into ten-centimeter-long pieces.

When he was busy, Lin Xu said to Ma Zhiqiang:
"Put the oil pan on, pour some exhausted oil into it, first fry some scallions, ginger slices, star anise and cinnamon, to add some spice to the oil in the pan."

After Lin Xu beat all the octopus and cut them into sections, Ma Zhiqiang had already fried the spices.

"Do you want to throw away these spices?"

"Throw away the green onions, and save the rest for later use when stewing."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xu took the cut hairtail and placed it next to the stove, and began to fry it.

This kind of directly fried hairtail does not need to be marinated, and all the peculiar smell will dissipate during the frying process. Even if there is a little bit left, it will be cleaned up when it is stewed later, and there will be no residue.

The oil temperature is [-]% hot, put the hairtail fish piece by piece into the oil pan for frying.

When frying this type of fish, use as little oil as possible, otherwise there will be a fishy smell in the oil, and no matter what you cook in the future, it will taste like eating fish.

The hot oil in the pot is boiling violently, don’t worry about putting it in, and shake the wok after a pot is enough to prevent the hairtail from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

"Hey, where's the fried octopus?"

Xie Baomin's voice startled Lin Xu:
"Brother, why are you here?"

"I'll come here to inform you that at the end of the month or the beginning of next month, I'm going to make a classic dish created by our master. You should try your best to bring up the skill of stretching noodles before then, otherwise you won't be able to learn it by then."

The so-called stretched noodles are actually ramen, just a different name.

Lin Xu is not very interested in ramen, because the store's main specialty is hand-rolled noodles, which is also the foundation of Lin Kee's establishment.

If you make ramen noodles, it’s more or less like dismantling your own platform.

But when he heard about Master's own dishes, he immediately became interested.

This is related to a lost dish.

A silver thread fish soup added a grilled fish fish that countless customers praised in the store, and the silver thread fish soup made Geng Lishan and the others admire it even more.

This is going to be another lost dish, isn't the business in the store even hotter?

He smiled and said:

"I'm planning to go to Building No. [-] to learn about ramen from Chef Yin, and my brother will go with me then."

"Hey, the timing of your choice is really good. Lao Yin just ordered two scalpers from Lao Huang. When the time comes, we brothers and sisters will have to take one of the cattle's hind legs."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ?

Brother, we are here to learn crafts, how can we even eat and take food?
With this bandit style, sooner or later someone will beat him with a sap.

Thinking that he had never seen the process of dismantling a whole cow, Lin Xu said:

"When the cow arrives, you can call me. I haven't seen such a scene of decomposing beef. This time, it's just a sight to behold."

"Row."

While speaking, Xie Baomin turned over the pot with a spoon:
"You want to make braised octopus, this heat is enough."

"I cook soft-bone hairtail. Yueyue is always afraid of being caught by fish bones when eating fish, so I will make some hairtail that doesn't need to spit out bones."

"Then it needs to be fried for another minute and a half to two minutes. The crispy hairtail needs to be fried for a while until it is fully fried, so that the fish bones are crispy enough."

When the surface of the octopus is fried until it is browned, and the knife flower is fried until it is burnt brown, take out the octopus with a colander, and then start frying the next pot.

All the hairtails were fried, and Lin Xu brought the pressure cooker over and began to prepare for stewing.

To make this kind of crispy hairtail, it is best to simmer it in a casserole for two or three hours, so that the meat is rotten and the bones are completely crispy.

But now I am in a hurry to eat, so I have to replace the casserole with a pressure cooker.

Clean the pressure cooker, and put a bamboo net on the bottom of the pot, which can effectively prevent sticking to the pot.

Put it away and then cut some green onion and ginger, and put all the fried ingredients at the bottom of the pot, then add the fried hairtail, put a frying spoon of white sugar, half a frying spoon of dark soy sauce, two frying spoons of light soy sauce, a A frying spoon of lard, a frying spoon of sugar, a few dried chilies, a small handful of Chinese prickly ash and two teaspoons of salt.

The soy sauce already has enough saltiness, so just add a little less salt to enhance the freshness.

Put these away, and then add a catty of rice wine and a catty of mature vinegar.

In order to make the bones of octopus crispy, in addition to frying them in place, another secret weapon is to braise them with vinegar. Vinegar can soften the fish bones and make them crispy and delicious.

Finally, add pork bone broth to cover the octopus, cover the pot, and simmer over high heat.

As long as it is stewed for half an hour, it can become a crispy hairtail with crispy bones and rotten meat, which is also delicious. This kind of hairtail is also called boneless hairtail.

After Xie Baomin finished cooking octopus, he turned his hands behind his back to instruct Zhuang Yizhou and the others to cook.

And Lin Xu went to the duck roaster to ignite the charcoal to prepare for the grilled fish.

Since I had fish bream the evening before yesterday, it has become the most popular dish in the store, and it is also the fastest-selling dish, even more crazy than the two days when the steam pot squab was new.

Many customers are fascinated by the traditional marinated flavor with honey and the aroma of slowly roasting with fruit charcoal.

It's not enough to eat one in the store, but you have to pack one when you leave. When you watch a movie or a ball game at night, you can have a few yuan with wine. It's so delicious.

Only after finishing his work did Lin Xu realize that Dou Wenjing had left and Chen Yan had disappeared.

Only Shen Baobao was still holding up his mobile phone, taking pictures of the chestnut cakes on the table.

"Where is Miss Yan? Are you leaving?"

"I didn't leave, I couldn't stand the sleepiness, I asked Sister Yuanyuan for the key, went back to the back of the community to sleep, and specially told her to leave some hairtail."

Spending the night on the bench in the police force office last night must have been a bit unbearable for the well-clothed aunt.

It's just the enthusiasm of love to hold on, otherwise she might go back early and fall asleep.

"Where's Miss Jing?"

"The ordered equipment has arrived, she went to inspect the goods, and asked me to ask if you have time to make hot drinks in the afternoon?"

"Yes, yes. In the afternoon, I will go to the workshop and teach them the business practices of several hot drinks. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to introduce new ones in Ziqiang Shengjian."

Half an hour later, Lin Xu took the pressure cooker off the stove.

Remove the air valve, wait until the steam in the pot is released, open the lid, and a delicious taste will come out of the pot.

Che Zai on the side sniffed and said in surprise:
"At first, I thought it would have a very sour vinegar smell, but I didn't expect the vinegar smell to be not strong, but the aroma and umami taste are more obvious... Mmm, it's really tempting."

Lin Xu took the large frying pan and put it on the stove, poured the octopus from the pressure cooker into it, picked out the onion and ginger, and collected the juice over high heat.

After half an hour of pressing, these hairtails were all ruddy in color and trembling, as if they had lost their bones.

Xie Baomin took a look:
"The hairtail is good, and the fire is very good."

At this moment, you can't use a frying spoon to turn the pot, you can only shake the frying pot constantly to let the octopus turn in the pot.

When cooking, the unique umami taste of hairtail, the aroma of pork bone broth and lard constantly tantalize the taste buds, and people can't help but want to pick a piece and taste it.

It didn't take long for the soup in the pot to thicken.

When the ruddy soup hangs evenly on the octopus, Lin Xu scoops up some cooking oil and pours it on, and takes it out of the pot.

Put the octopus in several small pots, and save some for my sister-in-law, and the lunch in the store begins.

Holding the rice, carefully pick up a piece of hairtail with ruddy color and thick soup, put it in the bowl, take a bite, and you can't feel the existence of fishbone at all.

After one bite, the meat is completely crispy, and the salty and sweet taste is full of rich umami and fragrance. It feels really good to eat a bite of hairtail and then a bite of rice.

"Wow, I really can't eat fish bones, I like the feeling of eating fish without spitting out bones."

"Yeah, I'm finally not afraid of eating fish stuck in my throat."

"Boss, can only hairtail fish do this?"

Lin Xu took a bite with the hairtail:
"No, crucian carp, small yellow croaker, small pomfret and other fish can all be cooked in this way. They are all crispy and rotten, very delicious."

Xie Baomin tasted the crispy hairtail made by Lin Xu, and said with a smile:

"During the Qing Dynasty, there were four major crisps in the palace, which were crisp hairtail, crisp chicken, crisp meat, and crisp kelp. They all tasted super delicious. If you have time, you can study it. Even if it's not new, at least you can try it. Try it out."

The four palace cakes?
Is there any such statement?
Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll go back and study it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his mind:
"The host has the courage to challenge the court dishes, and triggers a side mission [re-enactment of the classic]: within a week, the host is required to successfully make the four palace pastries without resorting to the points mall and cooking learning cards, and each level cannot be low. At the excellent level, after the completion, the award will be rewarded with a lucky draw for the lost palace dishes of the excellent level."

"Because the host has mastered the perfect-level crispy meat technique and the excellent-level crispy hairtail fish technique, the progress of the side task [Re-engraving Classic] is +2, and the host only needs to copy the other two within a week to get rewards. Congratulations to the host."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ?

No sooner had the mission been issued than it was announced that the mission was half done.

System, are you here to brighten up the atmosphere?
