Chapter 65 It Looks Delicious

Looking at Jiang Yu again, his handling of fish heads and chopped peppers was not much different from Lu Jinsheng's.

If there must be a difference, it is that when marinating the fish head, in addition to using cooking wine and ginger, he also evenly spread a layer of sauce prepared in advance on the fish head.

After frying the chopped peppers, he also began to put the fish heads on plates and spread the chopped peppers.

However, before steaming in the pot, Jiang Yu took another step, which was to cover the plate with a layer of plastic wrap, and poke some fine holes in the plastic wrap with a toothpick.

After seeing Jiang Yu's actions, Lu Jinsheng immediately laughed, nodded and said:
"Chopped pepper fish head is a steamed dish, and the water vapor will flow back into the plate, so there will be too much soup, and the soup of steamed fish has a fishy smell, which will make the taste of the whole dish worse.

We usually pour off the excess soup of steamed fish, or perform 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. Someone has used it for a long time. The reason why Lu Jinsheng wanted to explain it was to explain it to Hu Zhihai and others. After all, they don't cook and don't understand it.

"Fish meat is easy to cook, can it be eaten after steaming for a while?"

When Hu Zhihai saw that Jiang Yu had already steamed the fish head, he stared at the steaming cauldron with bright eyes.

"Well, about ten minutes of steaming will be fine."

Lu Jinsheng was in a good mood today, he replied with a smile,
"However, Boss Xiaojiang is covered with plastic wrap, so the temperature will be higher and the cooking will be faster. His cooking time is later than mine, so it can be cooked at about the same time."

After a pause, he added,
"The steaming time of the fish meat should not be too long, otherwise the moisture in the meat will be lost, and it will taste dry and dry, and it will not taste good at all."

"Oh, that's what it is."

Hu Zhihai nodded indiscriminately, thinking, so there are so many specialties in making a dish.

However, he is usually only responsible for eating and not cooking, so he doesn't need to know these things, he just needs to know whether the food is good or not.

Anyway, with Jiang Yu here, why should he worry about not having something to eat?
While the two of them were 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 the sauce I made myself, covered with plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator.

These two big fish heads are enough for the people in the store to eat, but the fish pieces can be kept for now, and they can be cooked when they want to eat.

When Jiang Yu finished these tasks, the fish head was almost steamed.

Lu Jinsheng stepped forward and lifted the lid of the pot, and a white mist mixed with a strong aroma evaporated, filling the entire shop in an instant.

After taking out the fish head, he poured off the excess soup in the plate, and then sprinkled chopped green onion and white sesame seeds on the fish head.

Immediately afterwards, continue to fire and add a small spoonful of hot oil, and pour it on the fish head.

The chopped green onion and white sesame seeds are poured with hot oil, and there is a sound of "sizzling" in an instant. The aroma of sesame seeds and chopped green onion, mixed with the spicy smell of chopped peppers, fills the whole room at once.

"Wow! It looks delicious!"

Hu Zhihai's fat face was flushed red, and his eyes were about to pop out.

This plate of chopped pepper fish head made by Lu Jinsheng is brightly colored. At first glance, the plate is full of oily bright red chopped peppers.

The fish head with tender meat, fresh and not fishy, ​​is hidden under the chopped pepper, just like "a touch of white among thousands of reds".

There are emerald green onions and white sesame seeds dotted in the middle, so that people can't help but twitch their index fingers and salivate at a glance.

If it weren't for the sliver of rationality in his mind, Hu Zhihai would have already rushed to feast on it right now!

Not only Hu Zhihai, Yan Tongtong and the others standing behind him were also blushing and swallowing hard.

Even if brothers and sisters Lu Chunming and Lu Shuwu can eat this dish from time to time, they are still jealous and eager to try it.

Who doesn't want to try the top Hunan cuisine made by the master of Hunan cuisine?

Seeing that everyone showed a greedy look, Lu Jinsheng was not surprised to see it too much. He chuckled and said:

"Patience a little more, after Boss Xiaojiang and I have tasted each other, you can eat it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu also took the fish head out of the pot.

Probably because it was sealed with plastic wrap, the fish head with chopped peppers on his plate did not have such a strong fragrance wafting out.

Jiang Yu tore off the plastic wrap three times, sprinkled chopped chives on the fish head, poured a proper amount of steamed fish soy sauce, and finally poured a spoonful of hot oil on the fish head.

It wasn't until this moment that the strong aroma of the fish head with chopped peppers suddenly came out.

But everyone could clearly tell that Jiang Yu's fish head with chopped peppers was very fragrant, but the fragrance was different from that of Lu Jinsheng's. When one smelled it, one couldn't help but feel hungry, and the feeling of hunger appeared inexplicably. up.

"Cuckoo!"

Suddenly, a sound of stomach growling clearly entered everyone's ears. Everyone turned their heads and saw Hu Zhihai touching his stomach with one hand, and said with an embarrassed smile,

"Hey, I'm sorry, I digest quickly, and I accidentally got hungry again."

"Haha, young people, it's normal to eat a lot. When I was young like you, I had to eat four or five meals a day!"

Lu Jinsheng laughed and said something, then turned his head, looked at Jiang Yu with satisfaction, and said with a smile,

"Boss Xiaojiang, we've finished cooking fish heads with chopped peppers, why don't we try each other?

In addition, let my little granddaughter taste the flavors separately. Although she is not a gourmet, her ability to taste food is no worse than those gourmets! "

"Okay, Grandpa Lu, you come first."

Jiang Yu smiled, his face full of confidence.

This kind of self-confidence is not so much a trust in one's own cooking skills, but a kind of confidence in relying on the food system.

In fact, he was a little fortunate that Lu Jinsheng chose to cook fish head with chopped peppers instead of other Hunan dishes.

Fish head with chopped pepper is a steamed dish. The whole fish head only needs to be cut open, then spread with chopped pepper and steamed in a pan. The method is extremely simple.

In this way, his technical disadvantages in knife skills, spoon skills, and cooking pots were almost offset.

If Lu Jinsheng chooses to make fast-cooked dishes such as bandit pork liver or chicken offal with pickled peppers, even if Jiang Yu has the recipe provided by the system, he may not be able to compete with a master of Hunan cuisine who is first-class in all aspects of cooking. Compete.

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Lu Jinsheng was not polite. He brought a pair of clean chopsticks from the side, put a small piece of fish into Jiang Yu's dish, and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the fish was in his mouth, Lu Jinsheng couldn't help closing his eyes, and his eyebrows began to tremble involuntarily...
