Chapter 1284 (1/2)
The most common practice for crabs or hairy crabs is steaming. However, because of the growth environment of hairy crabs, even if the water quality is very clean, they always grow in the sludge at the bottom of the lake, so they always have to spit dirt first and then steaming.
In this way, the steamed crabs will taste delicious and the meat is fresh and sweet, but this time, it is obvious that Yuanzhou has no time to spit dirt, so it can only be boiled with wine.
In fact, the practice of cooking crabs is also quite common. After drinking after the special washing method in Yuanzhou, and then spitting out the wine, the crabs have been very clean, and now the purpose of wine cooking is two.
One is to let the last bit of sludge sink to the bottom and be decomposed by wine. The other is to use the fragrance of beer and the wheat flavor of wheat to replace the deodorization effect of onion, ginger and garlic.
The low alcohol in beer keeps the crab meat tender and elastic.
After chatting for a while, we found that Yuanzhou didn't speak much. Ling Hong coaxed Yuanzhou to speak, and his reason was also very legitimate. Ling Hong said, ”Yuanzhou today, we don't come as a boss and diner, but as a friend. Why don't you tell a joke?”
”No jokes.” Yuan Zhou shook his head.
”That's OK. You can say anything.” Ling Hong said magnanimously.
”Well, do you know why crabs are steamed with flowers?” Yuan Zhou thought for a moment and then said.
”Because then the crab can't escape from the palm of my hand.” Jiang Changxi raised her eyebrows, stretched out her white and tender hand and made a grasping action.
In an instant, the men present had a feeling of egg pain. Even Yuanzhou felt a cool wind blowing, a little cold.
Looking at the quiet scene, Jiang Changxi wondered, ”isn't it right?”
In order to prevent Jiang Changxi from giving a more wonderful answer, Yuan Zhou quickly opened his mouth: ”no, it's for fear of crab disability.”
”Why?” Even if Yuan Zhou's answer is very cold, everyone still actively asks why.
After all, compared with Yuanzhou, Jiang Changxi's answer may be painful, so everyone's choice is very clear.
”Because crabs can be cooked in cold water or hot water. If they are cooked in cold water, they can be tied or not, but they must be tied in hot water. Otherwise, the crab legs will be broken before the crab is cooked, which will lose the delicacy of the crab and the integrity is not good.” Yuan Zhou explained seriously.
”Uh huh.” All the diners present looked as if they had been taught, and then everyone began to talk about something else.
No one asked Yuan Zhou to speak this time.
Before long, Yuanzhou got up and began to turn off the fire one by one.
With three crackles, the flame of the card stove on the table went out, and the steam and beer gushed from the pot.
”Now you can untie the lid of the pot and fish for crabs. There is a prepared ginger vinegar dip dish on the side.” Yuanzhou road.
”It's finally ready to eat.” Wuhai immediately got up and untied the lid of the pot, while the others were not slow.
In an instant, a very strong wine aroma came from the pavement.
The smell is mixed with the aroma of wheat and the fishy smell of crab, followed by the strong taste of wine and warm steam, which makes people feel slightly drunk.
”Good wine.” Chen Wei took a deep breath and sighed.
”It's a pity that I have too much wine.” Chen Wei said as he picked up a crab with slow hands and feet.
”Indeed, the boiled beer is really delicious.” Sun Ming nodded in agreement. Of course, his speed was not slow, and he soon picked out a crab.
On the side, the crab Yan Yagang just fished out of the beer was a male crab, with a big head and claws, but the whole crab was cooked red, emitting the smell of crab and wine, which smelled very appetizing.
”Hiss”, but it was so hot that Yan Ya couldn't help hissing.
