pretty little cook

Chapter 14

Mi Xiaowan was slightly embarrassed, she was just thinking about picking them one by one.

"These things were brought over by Uncle Sun and the others these days. Dad hasn't been out of the boat since his leg was injured, otherwise the family wouldn't be able to eat these things." Mi Xiaoyue poured the snails directly into the wooden basin, and then He took some white prawns from the net and put them into another wooden basin, "These things don't have any meat, and they don't taste good. Why did you think of eating this?"

"I've never eaten it! I live in the mountains and I haven't eaten these things, but I read about them in books, so I've always wanted to taste what these lake delicacies taste like." Mi Xiaowan squatted there carefully Looking at the snails and white shrimp in the two wooden basins, what should I eat?

Seeing Mi Xiaowan squatting there eager to eat, Mi Xiaoyue said a little funny. "You! You haven't eaten it. If you have, you don't want to eat it. The white shrimp is even better, but this snail has a strong earthy smell and less meat. It's not good!"

Mi Xiaoyue is not surprised that Mi Xiaowan can read. Grandpa can read, and their mother, Mrs. Zhang, can also read. She can also read a few, so Mi Xiaowan said that she saw something in the book. Not surprising either.

Earthy smell?Unappetizing?When Mi Xiaowan curled her lips, it means that you don't know how to eat it!However, is there any material at home?This snail does have an earthy smell if it is not cooked properly. "Sister, there are prickly ash, ginger, and hot pepper at home."

Mi Xiaowan reported a series of names.

"No prickly ash! I have everything else, and Mother usually uses these for cooking!" Mi Xiaoyue didn't know why. "What do you want these for?"

No pepper?Mi Xiaowan was a little disappointed. "Is there any sauce?"

"Sauce? Yes!"

"Where is it? Bring them all, I want to use them!" Hearing that Jiangmi Xiaowan swept away the disappointment just now.

"You want to use it?!" Mi Xiaoyue was startled, only then did she realize that the loofah and eggplant had already been cut on the chopping board. "Xiao Wan, can you cook?"

"En! I learned from my grandfather!" Mi Xiaowan has already started to clean the snails. If this thing is not cleaned, it doesn't have a smell of dirt, but it really has dirt.

Wash and drain the snails, add firewood to the stove, heat the pot, pour oil on it, then put minced ginger and garlic cloves in the pan to fry, then put the snails in the pot, add ingredients while frying, wine, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and finally put some more The water is simmering.

When the snails are almost stewed, put the sauce in, stir-fry over low heat, and finally add some peppers to complete. A plate of delicious, irresistible sauce-boiled snails is ready.

"Xiao Wan, how did you make this? It smells so good! Is this really a snail? Why is it so fragrant!" Mi Xiaoyue kept sniffling. I haven't eaten it yet!I couldn't help reaching out and twisting one into my mouth. The hot air just out of the pot, the umami taste of the snails, and the slightly spicy taste of the chili immediately made Mi Xiaoyue speechless and just spoke vaguely. "Good. Delicious. Delicious."

"Of course it's snails, fried snails in sauce! It's delicious!" Seeing Mi Xiaoyue's greedy face, Mi Xiaowan felt a sense of accomplishment, and she twirled one into her mouth casually. The spicy and mellow taste made Mi Xiaowan It's also amazing, she has eaten a lot of Shanzhen, but compared with the natural umami of Huxian, she still loves the latter. "Sister, fry those two dishes, I'll clean up the shrimp!"

Clean up the shrimp?Aren't shrimps washed and boiled in water?Mi Xiaoyue wanted to ask, but because of the smell of snails just now, she closed her mouth.
