Chapter 708 Make Grape Fish with Grape Juice, Perfect!Chen Yan: If you come out to mess around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later! 【Subscribe】

"I think the best thing is eggs."

After Chen Yan finished eating the eggs, she tasted the pig's trotters, and felt that the eggs were more delicious. The outside was slightly sweet and sour and the spicy ginger, while the egg yolk inside was soft and delicious, giving it a special taste.

No wonder Cantonese people like to eat pork knuckle ginger. The taste and texture are really impressive.

Shen Jiayue swallowed a large piece of stewed elbow meat:

"I think it's all delicious... Let's take it out for everyone to eat. It's very rude to stay in the room."

In fact, she wanted to hear compliments.

After all, this is a delicacy made by Lin Xu together. If it is rounded up, it means that Shen Jiayue made it by herself.

Chen Yan also just wanted to let relatives and elders taste it, so she nodded immediately and said:
"Yes, yes, let everyone have a taste, come, let me hold the pot."

After finishing speaking, she was about to carry it out, but was stopped by Shen Jiayue:
"That can't be done, you are the key protection object of the family now, I can't let you do the work, I will come and I will come...Xu Bao, do you want to get some for you?"

Lin Xu said:

"I'm going to start making grape fish, don't worry about it, let's eat it together when we eat."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue was not polite, put on heat-resistant gloves, and walked out with a casserole in hand.

There are already many people sitting outside, Shen Guofu and his wife, Shen Guofang and his wife, Ren Jie's family, Mrs. Shen, Shi Wenqing's family, Chen Yan's aunt, uncle, grandparents, and Ren Jie's family and relatives. etc……

A large group of people bustled and bustled, all gathered together because Chen Yan was pregnant.

Shen Guofu originally thought that the small jar of wine that Kai brought was enough, but he didn't expect so many people to come today, so he moved out a box of ten-year-old Wuliangye that he had hidden in the kitchen cabinet.

According to wine collectors, wine that has been stored for about ten years is the best.

After ten years of storage, the unique spicy and punchy taste of baijiu has softened, but the alcohol is still there. You can smell the strong aroma of the wine when you open the bottle, and it tastes very soft.

Over ten years, the alcohols will gradually decrease, the alcohol will decrease in alcohol, and the taste will gradually start to sour.

But over ten years, the price of the wine will soar, so although the taste and texture have declined, it will still be exciting to drink.

After all, it is expensive. Once it is expensive, the feeling will naturally come up.

"Grandma, you guys, try the pork knuckle ginger I made, it's super delicious!"

Shen Jiayue brought out the casserole, and quickly brought bowls and chopsticks to serve everyone.

There were a lot of people, and there wasn't much pig's knuckle ginger in the small casserole, but it didn't matter, there were two big pots in the big kitchen, and everyone present could definitely eat it.

Zeng Xiaoqi, who just came from the company, leaned over to Chen Yan and looked at her flat belly:

"I didn't expect that you were pregnant with a baby. You can pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, and don't teach the baby badly."

Chen Yan touched her belly, her face was full of maternal love:
"As long as you don't speak foul language in front of me, my child won't be taught to be bad... Besides, babies who don't have enough to eat will learn to be bad. We have been full from snacks, so naturally there is no reason to learn to be bad."

Not full?
Zeng Xiaoqi looked at her raging face blankly, and immediately became angry from embarrassment:
"Well, baby Yan, you don't forget to mock me when you become a mother. Tomorrow, I will start broadcasting Das Kapital in the place where you appear, so that the baby will know from an early age that you are a black-hearted capitalist."

Hmph, if you dare to mock me, I will defeat you with magic.

Chen Yan whispered in Zeng Xiaoqi's ear:

"Xiao Qiqi, these pig's knuckle gingers have a breast-enhancing effect, and the effect is super good."

When Zeng Xiaoqi heard it, she didn't care about the bickering anymore, she took the initiative to fill a big bowl for herself, then she came to the side and started to eat.

It doesn't matter how big you can grow up, as long as you surpass Xiao Qing.

Han Shuzhen served a bowl of pork knuckle and ginger to Shi Wenqing:
"Pig knuckle and ginger to promote lactation, Wenqing, eat more, and take some away after eating, don't wrong yourself, and don't wrong the baby."

"No, auntie, I gained a lot of weight recently for my child, and you eat too."

Chen Yan brought Mrs. Han a bowl of pork knuckle ginger, and then hugged Dundun in the old lady's arms:
"Little Fat Cat, you haven't let me wear high heels since a few days ago, did you notice something?"

Dundun naturally does not admit it:
"Meow~~~~~~"

The little guy yelled aggrievedly, and then jumped into the arms of Shen Guofu next to him.

Shen Guofang whispered to Chen Yan:

"Xiaoyan, don't touch the cat if you're pregnant, just in case..."

"Don't worry, Mom. Just now, Wen Qing said that cats don't have so many viruses and bacteria. It's us who scare ourselves. Besides, Dundun is my nephew, so I can't offend him."

It's not that he can't offend, but he coerces Dundun to make him happy.

People with children, their weakness is children, and people without children, their weakness is cats.

Shen Guofang didn't say anything about her daughter, so she didn't say anything else. Instead, she held a bowl and ate pig's knuckle ginger, while asking Han Shuzhen about the precautions for pregnant women in daily life.

"Keep a good mood, don't be impatient, try to wear flat shoes, don't wear heavy makeup and hair, try to keep the whole person relaxed, and pay attention to the people around you, don't create tension for her..."

Han Shuzhen talked about what she had inquired in the obstetrics and gynecology department before, and by the way told Ren Jie to pay attention to Chen Yan's emotions, which is very important for the development of the fetus.

After Shen Jiayue greeted everyone outside, she entered the kitchen:
"Xu Bao, can I make sweet and sour fish fillets?"

Lin Xu just cooked the fish belly and said with a smile:

"Okay, just crack an egg into the fish fillet, then grab two handfuls of starch and a handful of flour, mix well, and use chopsticks to put the slices into the oil pan for frying."

In order to prevent this girl from having accidents during the production process, Lin Xu simplified the steps as much as possible.

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she immediately brought over the marinated fish fillets, took out half of them, and started beating eggs to prepare the batter.

As for the rest, it will be directly made into boiled fish later.

Lin Xu put the oil pan on the stove, turned on the fire, and poured peanut oil into it.

When the oil was hot, the batter had already been applied to the fish fillets. Shen Jiayue carried them to the stove, held the fish fillets with chopsticks, and lowered them into the pot one by one.

At the beginning, she actually wanted to make a video to show off.

But when I started frying, I forgot about this, and devoted myself to the state of cooking food, concentrating on observing the fish fillets in the pot, and even turned the fried fish fillets in the pot.

When the fish fillets are fried until golden brown, take them out with a slotted spoon, and then start frying the next pot.

"Wow Kaka, Xu Bao, how did I fry?"

Shen Jiayue asked as if asking for credit.

Lin Xu glanced twice:

"Yes, the color is very good. Don't forget to fry the fish heads and tails for the plate later."

"Good!"

There are so many people today that there is definitely no room for one table, and there are two tables, so the sweet and sour fish fillet needs two fish heads and two fish tails to arrange.

For the remaining ingredients, two fish tails are made into boiled water, and two fish heads are mixed into boiled fish.

All dishes are clearly arranged, and there will be no waste.

Shen Jiayue fried all the dishes that needed oil, then raised the temperature of the oil, and did a second fry.

After the fish fillets were fished out again, they began to arrange the plate.

The fish is neatly stacked in the middle of the plate, and then the fish head and tail are placed on top, and the sauce can be poured.

The sweet and sour sauce she made is also the simplest one. Add a little oil to the pot, heat it up, add two tablespoons of tomato sauce, one spoon of white vinegar, one tablespoon of white sugar, and one teaspoon of salt.

Use a spoon to quickly stir-fry in the pan until it becomes a paste, then scoop a little hot oil from the fish frying pan and pour it in, stir-fry a few more times, then turn off the heat and leave the pan.

Pour the sweet and sour sauce on the fish and call it a day!

Shen Jiayue looked at the dishes she made with her hips on her hips, her face was full of complacency:
"Wow, I can't believe that I can have this kind of culinary skills, Xu Bao, how many levels can I get if I get a chef certificate at my level?"

Lin Xu smiled wryly:
"You can't even pass the level of knife skills, so don't think about the research."

All the layman's work is done by others, and this kind of chef can't go to the exam.

Shen Jiayue was not angry either, but handed him the chopsticks:
"Then try my craft and see if there is anything that can be improved."

Lin Xu really wanted to taste it, so he picked up a piece of fish fillet covered in sweet and sour sauce and put it into his mouth. He took a bite, the rich sweet and sour flavor formed a strong contrast with the crispy fish.

The freshness and tenderness inside the fish fillet makes the taste rich again.

However, the disadvantages are not without, the fish fillet is a bit over-fried, the sweet and sour sauce is not fried enough, the sour aroma of the tomato is not fully fried, it should be fried for a while.

However, just as he was about to tell the truth, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a good baby wiping a kitchen knife, and said quickly:
"The taste is very good. With my superficial taste level, I can't find any faults at all."

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"No, no, absolutely not...can you put down the kitchen knife first?"

Shen Jiayue put down the kitchen knife and kissed Lin Xu:
"Forget it, forget it, I won't tease you...Xu Bao, hurry up and make grape fish, I still want to see it."

Lin Xu agreed and started production.

But before doing it, he also assigned Shen Jiayue a task:
"You wash the grapes and blueberries and dry them, and use a juicer to squeeze out the grape juice. The proportion of blueberries should not be too high, just put them in a handful. If there are too many, the color will be heavy and it will not look good."

Shen Jiayue didn't expect that she could still participate, so she immediately asked the waiter to bring out two plates of sweet and sour fish fillets, and then began to wash the grapes and prepare the juice.

Lin Xu cracked two eggs, took the marinated fish, poured the egg wash, and rubbed the fish inside and out.

Especially in the crevices of knife flowers, it is evenly applied.

After finishing this, he lifted the fish out of the basin, controlled it a little to let the excess egg liquid flow out, and then put the whole fish in the bread crumbs, so that the surface of the fish was covered with bread crumbs.

While washing the grapes, Shen Jiayue looked over here, wondering how the original square fish pieces turned into round grape shapes.

After the bread crumbs are wrapped, the edges and corners of the fish have disappeared and become much rounder, but there is still a gap from the real grapes.

Lin Xu said:

"Actually, this dish uses visual misalignment. Regardless of whether it is round or not, if you can think of grapes at first glance, it is the success of the dish, and after the bread crumbs are wrapped, it is also drizzled with a thick layer of sugar. The vinaigrette, relatively speaking, will be more like the grape itself."

Put all the fish meat on the batter, open the oil pan where Shen Jiayue fried the fish just now, reheat the oil, and then put the fish in for deep frying.

Putting it in, the fish skin began to shrink due to the heat, and those knife edges opened rapidly.

The original whole piece of fish was immediately rolled up and turned into a string of meat, which really looked like grapes.

At this moment, Chen Yan walked in, dinner was already served upstairs, she couldn't stand everyone's excessive concern, so she came downstairs to get some air, and by the way, urged the food.

Uh huh, the delicacy belongs to my baby Yan!

She took a freshly washed grape from Shen Jiayue and put it in her mouth to taste, then said:

"Wow, so sour!"

Shen Jiayue was taken aback:
"You don't like sour food?"

"I like it, but it's too sour, and those pork knuckle gingers are a bit spicy for me, so I don't dare to eat more."

I don't like sour, and I don't like spicy food. So, should the baby in my stomach be a boy or a girl?

Shen Jiayue felt that her CPU was about to be burned dry.

But after thinking about it, the baby probably hasn't started to develop yet, so don't guess.

She quickly washed the grapes and put them together with the blueberries to make juice. Just at this moment, Lin Xu had already fried the fish.

"Xu Bao, don't you start now?"

Shen Jiayue saw that Lin Xu didn't arrange the plate, so she asked anxiously.

"I'm going to fry it again later. I'll boil the grape-flavored sweet and sour sauce first. If you want to learn it, you can learn it. Grape fish with this color should not be eaten outside."

Due to cost considerations, most grape fish are made with tomato sauce.

Because good grapes are too expensive, if you want to use grape juice for cooking, you need at least two catties of grapes per serving.

And there are so many people in the back kitchen, if you really make two catties of grapes, it is estimated that one person will eat them up one by one before they start making them.

In addition, the color of grapes is not easy to control. Some are dark in color and some are light in color. Relatively speaking, it is more cost-effective to use tomato sauce, which is cheaper, less wasted, and has a stable color.

Lin Xu put the wok on the shelf, moistened it first, then added half a spoonful of peanut oil, and put in two sections of scallions.

After the scallions are fried, take out the scallions, put in half a spoonful of tomato sauce, and fry it with the fat in the pan until the tomato sauce is sandy, and by the way, give the sweet and sour sauce a basic color.

After the tomato sauce is fried, pour the grape juice along the side of the pot.

Due to the presence of blueberries, the squeezed grape juice is dark purple, but when it is neutralized by tomato sauce, it becomes a very beautiful purple red.

Bring to a boil over high heat, and add some sugar and white vinegar by the way.

At this time, turn on the stove of the oil pan next to it, and prepare to return to the pan to fry the fish.

When the taste is about the same, add some water starch to make the soup thicker.

Compared with other sweet and sour dishes, the grape fish sauce has a higher consistency, so that after pouring the sauce, it will show the round shape of grapes.

After thickening the sauce, the temperature in the oil pan next to it has also risen.

Lin Xu scooped up half a spoonful of hot oil and poured it into the purple-red sauce, then poured the fish into the oil pan and started frying again.

It doesn't take too long to re-fry the fish, and it can be out of the pan in seven or eight seconds.

Take out the fish with a colander and place it on a plate, then take a few spinach leaves, cut them into the shape of grape leaves with a kitchen knife, blanch them in hot water, and place them next to the grape fish.

Everything is ready, poured with a grape-flavored purple-red soup.

The thick soup is instantly soaked in the gaps of the flower knife of the grape fish, which looks very attractive.

When everything is ready, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan couldn't help admiring:
"It's really exactly the same as grapes, it's amazing."

"It's so powerful that I can't bear to eat it. Hurry up and let everyone see it."

Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan each carried a copy, ready to send it upstairs for relatives to taste.

However, as soon as I went out, I met Fu Jie who came to pick up pork knuckle ginger. Seeing the grape fish on the plate, Fu Jie was also a little surprised:

"This dish is so beautiful, how much is it? I want to buy a copy."

Chen Yan said:

"These two are eaten by our own family, and we can't sell them. If you want to eat, you can only make an order in the afternoon."

Shen Jiayue also echoed:
"That's right, the herring used in this dish is not easy to buy in the capital, so if you want to eat it, you can only order it in advance."

Since I couldn't eat it today, Miss Fu asked curiously:
"Where's Dundun? Why didn't I see it when I went upstairs?"

"My grandma is holding it, Miss Fu, do you still want to buy piers?"

Shen Jiayue spoke more directly, she was really afraid that someone would miss her child, if that was the case, then she had to be on guard.

Miss Fu quickly waved her hand:

"I can't afford it. I just want to make friends with it. You go to eat. When I have time, I will call Ms. Shu at the front desk to order this dish... Is this grape fish? It's different from what I usually see .”

"That's right, it's grape fish, made with grape juice, it's not easy to buy outside."

At this time, Zhuang Yizhou came out of the kitchen with a large thermos bucket and handed it to Sister Fu:
"Is it the pork knuckle ginger you ordered? It's already ready. If you can't finish it, you can reheat it. It won't go bad, but you can't heat it in a metal pot. It's better to use a ceramic pot or casserole."

Pig’s knuckle ginger is stewed with vinegar. Vinegar can chemically react with iron pan, resulting in an iron smell, so this dish should try to avoid iron pan.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

Sister Fu took the large thermos bucket, turned around and went downstairs.

Shen Jiayue carried Grape Fish and Chen Yan upstairs, chatting in a low voice while walking:

"Yan Bao, why do I feel that this rich lady is weird?"

"Everyone has a different personality. It's not surprising. I have to thank her for talking about it. If this rich lady hadn't ordered pork knuckle ginger, we probably wouldn't even think of eating it."

Chen Yan has already decided that she will eat pig's knuckle ginger once a week in the future so that the baby in her stomach will grow up strong.

Shen Jiayue smiled:

"I have learned how to do it, and I will cook it for you when the time comes."

"Okay, it's still my sister who treats me well."

"That is, an older pregnant woman like you has to take care of it carefully so that nothing goes wrong."

Chen Yan: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The day I became a mother, you still don't forget to mock me, don't you?
Thinking back to how he secretly teased Zeng Xiaoqi when he was eating pork knuckle ginger, he didn't expect the retribution to come so soon.

If you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!
When the sisters went to the banquet hall, in the small kitchen, Lin Xu took a piece of tenderloin and quickly cut it up, preparing to cook a relatively rare Fujian dish in the north—lychee meat while all relatives were around!
