Chapter 290: The snails are also extremely delicious
"Oh, the little boss actually cooks this, but can this be delicious?" Seeing Wang Kuang pouring oil into the pot, pouring garlic paste, stir-frying with ginger rice and chili sauce for a while, he took a large bowl handed by the guy behind him, poured the bowl into the pot with a slam. The sharp-eyed man immediately realized that this was a matter, and opened his mouth wide and became incredible.
When she saw the one who fell into the bowl, Yang Sanlang smiled and nodded at the two live treasures, Passerby A and Passerby B. It was not without any gratitude. The bamboo sticks really came in handy.
The people in Jian'an recognized Wang Kuang as the one who poured it into the pot. Not to mention the people in Jian'an, almost everyone present recognized it as the snail.
As Wang Kuang's cognitive thoughts, no one has ever eaten snails. In previous years, there was no food. Not to mention snails, even the earthworms in the mud were dug to eat. Jian'an is old and almost all people who have experienced the change of Sui and Tang Dynasties have eaten them. If they are not cooked, the snails cannot be taken out. But if they are cooked, they can naturally come out with a bamboo stick, but the meat is so good that it is difficult to swallow. Moreover, the snails are difficult to taste. If they weren't hungry, few people would touch them. Therefore, Jian'an has had a better life in recent years, so naturally no one would think about it again.
In fact, it is called a snail, but there are two types. One is a snail, which is smaller in size, thick in shell, and yellow in color; the other is a real snail, which is larger in size, thin in guest, and dark green in color. The snails naturally grow in the river, and snails naturally grow in the fields. These two are actually the same species, but because the fields are nutrient-rich and snails eat microorganisms in the mud, they have enough food, grow faster, and are much larger in size. In addition, the fields are not like rivers, and fish eat them, so the shells naturally don’t need to be so thick.
What Wang Kuang was going to do was two kinds, one was fried snails, and the other was cold-mixed small rice.
The snails were brought to the fields a few days ago. When Wang Kuang said he wanted snails, many Jian'an people went out to mobilize them. They thought they were to feed Dabai and Xiaobai. Those who had seen Dabai and Xiaobai had a lot of food, and the snails could be kept in clear water for many days and could not die. Therefore, you can send some, and he would send some, and within a day, they would give them about a hundred kilograms.
The sizes sent were big and small, so Wang Kuang asked someone to pick out all the thumb-sized ones. It was difficult to cook if the big ones were mixed together. If the small ones were cooked, the big ones were not cooked. When the big ones were cooked, the small meat would become hard and not beautiful.
These snails were kept in the inn for a few days with water, and the intestines were spit out completely. Early this morning, the guy clamped the tail tip of the snails with tongs as Wang Kuang ordered. After washing them a few times, he raised them with water. The snails were strong and they would not die if they clamped the tail tip for half a day.
After stir-frying the snails in the pot for a few times, Wang Kuang sprinkled salt and wine. After stir-frying for a while, he added half a bowl of sauce and wine to mix one to one and continued to stir-fry for a few times. Then he added half a bowl of water. Finally, he took a few bay leaves, lit them on the stove and threw them into the pot. He covered them and stuffed them for a while. After a few sips of tea, he opened the lid and flipped them up, and then started the pot.
It is strange to say that the snails are born with perfect matches with osmanthus leaves. The snails are the only ingredients that Wang Kuang knows that can mix the aroma of meat and osmanthus leaves to the maximum extent. The combination of the two seems to be natural, and it is unforgettable to compare with the combination of osmanthus leaves and the aroma of loach. Don’t talk about eating, just smelling the smell can make people feel refreshed.
That feeling is funny. When Wang Kuang once had a crush on a girl, he seemed to have such a feeling. Whenever he saw that girl, his heart would roar, and then his whole soul seemed to float, drifting all the way outside the Nine Night Clouds. There were green mountains, green waters, insects, birds, flowers, breezes, fragrance of land, and the refreshing of the river brushed across his face...
Fried snails is very simple. The seasonings are oil, salt, ginger rice, garlic paste, chili sauce, sauce, wine, and bay leaves (all of them must not be missing. You can use less chili sauce that you don’t like spicy food or put it later). The wine must be used twice. Once, after pouring the snails into the pot, and once, add half a bowl of wine and sauces before adding water and cover and stuffing, mixing them one by one (small soy sauces are good, and dark soy sauces are used less, and light soy sauces are more. Therefore, when adding salt in front, you must consider in advance that the sauce itself is salty and control the amount of salt. However, the advantage of snails is that they are very salty, as long as they are not salty enough to make them numb).
It is not difficult to master the heat. When you see the thin cover of the snails turning up, some of them start to fall off, and they are cooked. If you fry, the meat will become harder and harder. After the pot, you can also sprinkle some green onions according to your personal preferences.
Many people like to add some sugar when stir-frying snails, especially chefs in the north. In fact, it is very special. The snail meat tastes sweet. If you put sugar, you will cover the sweetness of the snail meat tightly, which is not beautiful. It can be said that people who like to put sugar in fried snails actually do not understand snails. Not only snails, but any wild seafood and river food, adding sugar will not increase the flavor, but will cover up the sweetness of these ingredients themselves. However, artificially raised fish and shrimp are not included in this.
But no wonder people, the ingredients are always subject to regional restrictions. People in the imperial city rarely eat fresh seafood, so they just act smart and add some sugar. They also call it "most seafood is of southern taste, sweet in the south, salty in the north?"
Just like most people in the south do not know green onions, and northerners do not know green onions. Northerners usually call southern onions chives, but in fact, they are the same. Onions are chives and green onions. These are two different varieties. Onions are smaller, thinner, but more fragrant. Onions are slightly less popular. Most of the onions sold on the market are onions. Onions are generally only a little planted by farmers in the fields. They are almost impossible to buy onions. Because the yield of onions is extremely low and their economic value is far less than onions. No one can grow that one to sell, and they can only grow them and eat them.
In fact, many dishes in the south taste sweet, not with sugar, but with full use of the sweetness brought by the ingredients themselves, which is usually done by southern chefs and even ordinary families. However, don’t forget that cooking sheep, cooking beef, making pasta, etc., southern chefs are not as good as northern chefs and even some ordinary families in the north. It can be said that they have strengths and shortages, each with their own specialties and their own unique skills.
It is said that it is fried snails, but it can only be considered as stir-frying in soup, rather than dry snails. Generally, when cooking, it is important to keep no leftover juice on the plate, but snails are the opposite. They must have leftover juice, and they must not be thickened after at least one-third of them. When eating, you should not put chopsticks from above, but pick the ones soaked in the soup and eat them first.
Snail meat is considered an alien in the ingredients. The thicker you thicken it, the less it will be. The real taste is soaked in the soup after being put on the pot. This one can be long or short, and the taste will still be the same. If it is short, it can also be sufficiently tasty. In just three or five minutes, Snail meat can absorb the flavor in the soup.
Moreover, after eating the snails, the soup is extremely good. It only takes one or two tablespoons to pour on the rice. It is guaranteed that you can usually eat two bowls of rice and eat three bowls of rice and you will still feel unsatisfied.
If there are no bay leaves, the snail is at best a dish with a good taste, but if you add bay leaves, you can compare with dragon liver and phoenix marrow. It is one of the most delicious things that Wang Kuang believes. Therefore, the deliciousness of snails can only be well reflected in places with bay leaves in the Minyue area. In addition, when eating, you need to suck it with your mouth and a "suck" sound, which is quite silly. This will be regarded as a very impolite behavior, so you don't have the opportunity to serve it to the banquet. However, when you go to the Minyue area, when it comes to snails, few people don't like it. People have a nickname for snails."
Think about it, I picked up a snail with chopsticks, put it on my mouth, pouted my lips and sucked it like this, wasn't it kissed? Not only did the movements look like, but the sound was also very similar.
But before Wang Kuang came, he did not have such a status. Therefore, Wang Kuang now needs to change it. No matter whether he makes a sound or not, it cannot be buried. In fact, it is simple to not think of it. Just pick it with a toothpick. When he was a child, Wang Kuang couldn't suck it, so he used chopsticks to pinch the tip of his tail and poke it out, and the snail meat was exposed. Therefore, passers-by didn't bring bamboo sticks. For those who have not learned the skills of eating snails, bamboo sticks are the best tool.
Even if the tail tip of the snail is not clamped off, it will not be difficult for those gluttons. Wang Kuang has seen many people. When eating snails, he occasionally encounters one or two that are leaking and not clamping off the tail tip. He just needs to turn his head and gently bite the tail tip with his teeth. Then he rolls his tongue and then pulls the snail off. He sucks it. The movement is as smooth as flowing water. Usually, the left side of the mouth has not spitted the snail shell in his mouth, and another one has been held on the right. Typically, it is in and out at the same time. The speed is so fast that others have eaten a few of them, and there is already a pile of shells in front of him.
Before Wang Kuang frying snails today, no one had the trick to pinch the tip of his tail. The audience saw that the little boss poured the snails into the plate, took a pair of chopsticks, picked up one from the plate and sent it to the innermost part. He heard a slight "sucking" sound, and the little boss threw the snail shell into the garbage basket prepared on the side. Then he saw the little boss chewing it a few times and sighed very satisfied.
"The little Dong family is really a god. Even the snail meat can be sucked out with just one mouth. It is really worthy of being able to chop blue bricks." Passerby Jia was shocked when he saw Wang Kuang's pose.
"Slowly." Yang Sanlang turned around in dissatisfaction and stared at the passerby fiercely, "Didn't you see the little boss closing your eyes to rest? Don't disturb the little boss."
When passerby A heard this, he closed his mouth obediently and reached out to cover passerby B's mouth, afraid that he would make a sound, but he didn't look back. This cover was also covered by passerby B's nostrils, and his strength was quite strong. Passerby B was crowded and could not move. He finally twisted his head around, got rid of passerby A's claws, took a deep breath, then raised his feet and stomped him, and immediately passerby A grinned, but could not make a sound, and his facial features on his face were squeezed into a ball.
