194. Depart from Crescent Island(1/2)
Li Xiao tried one of the two flavors of baked crab legs and they both tasted quite good.
Minced garlic is fried at high temperature and becomes crispy and delicious.
The garlic sauce is spread on top of the crab leg meat, and after being baked at low temperature for a short time, the aroma of the garlic paste completely penetrates into the crab leg meat.
When you bite into it, the surface is crispy, and the crab meat underneath is firm and chewy with a strong garlic flavor.
Another cheese-flavored crab leg meat is also quite good. After being baked at a low temperature, the mozzarella cheese changes from granular to a soft layer of semi-liquid cheese covering the crab leg meat.
When you bite into it, two different flavors of cheese wrap around the tight crab leg meat, giving you a thick touch.
The outer layer of the crab legs is completely wrapped in semi-liquid cheese, and the taste buds on the tongue can feel the obvious milky taste. The fermented cheese flavor combined with the firm crab meat brings a full sense of satisfaction.
Both flavors of baked crab legs are quite good. The only drawback is that the mozzarella cheese and cheese slices that can be bought in ordinary supermarkets are very average, and the rich flavor from the cheese is slightly lacking.
However, considering that this was only cooking at home, Li Xiao reluctantly forgave the shortcomings in his production.
Put on a bowl of milky white and tender crab meat and fish soup.
Li Xiao usually doesn't eat the soup residue when drinking soup, because the soup residue will make the meat dry and woody after being simmered for a long time, and all the essence and deliciousness will enter the soup.
There was not a single star of oil on the surface of the full bowl of fish soup, because Li Xiao had carefully skimmed off the fat while simmering it.
Li Xiao put the milky white soup in front of the camera, and the sound of drooling came from the live broadcast room.
"Isn't this soup too white?"
"Did the host add some milk or something?"
"Are you new here upstairs? Didn't you see that the anchor poured hot water directly on the fried fish head, and the soup turned white immediately!!"
"Anchor, why does the fish soup I cook turn yellow even though it's very white?"
.....
Seeing this barrage, Li Xiao opened his mouth to explain
"Because we use oil when we fry the fish heads, and the oil will slowly start to turn yellow when we fry the fish heads, so if we don't want the fish soup to turn light yellow, then when cooking the soup,
Just skim off the grease immediately after adding water.”
"And skim off the fat as much as possible to make the whole pot of fish soup refreshing and less greasy."
After finishing his words, Li Xiao scooped up a spoonful of fish soup and put it into his mouth. The fish soup passed through the city, leaving only the taste of the fish soup.
"Although we used fish heads and crab meat, there is no fishy smell in this soup and it is very sweet. Because we also added water tofu, this pot of soup contains not only meat protein but also
With soy protein, you can say this soup is super nutritious.”
After speaking, Li Xiao did not continue watching the live broadcast, but concentrated on drinking soup, one bowl, two bowls, three bowls. He did not stop in a hurry until he felt full in his stomach.
The soup made with two fresh enough ingredients is really delicious and sweet.
Putting down the soup bowl in his hand, Li Xiao turned his eyes to the table and was shocked.
In the large plate of [Cheese Crab Claw Baked Yi Noodles], there were still a lot of crab claws left, but there was very little Yi Noodles inside.
With quick eyes and hands, he picked up the chopsticks and quickly pulled the remaining half of the bowl of Yi noodles into his own bowl. Li Xiao felt like crying when he looked at the pitifully small amount of Yi noodles in the bowl. Everyone knows cheese baked seafood Yi noodles.
Seafood is not the protagonist, on the contrary, noodles are.
Because during the production process, the baking time of seafood will be slightly longer, causing the flavor of seafood to be completely absorbed by the soup, and the soup full of seafood flavor will be absorbed by the noodles under the plate.
Therefore, seafood = soup = Yi noodles, that is, seafood = Yi noodles.
After the noodles are cooked, Li Xiao soaks them in ice water, so the texture will be firmer and more elastic, not like overcooked noodles, and will be quite soft.
After absorbing a lot of soup, the noodles become sticky, and when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the rich taste of crab meat.
After eating all the noodles in two or three times, he was still a little unsatisfied. Unfortunately, he drank too much in the soup, and the rest of the noodles had already been eaten by several people at the same table.
What was left on the plate just now was not that everyone could finish it, but it was specially reserved for Li Xiao. Otherwise, by the time he reacted, there would only be crab claws wrapped in soup in his nose.
Helpless, Li Xiao could only pick out a piece of crab claws.
He raised the crab claws in front of the camera, and drops of golden cheese sauce dripped from the crab claws, which looked very tempting.
Because his family eats it, Li Xiao is very willing to use the ingredients.
The cheese content is very high, and he also sauteed a lot of minced garlic before adding the cheese, so the color of the cheese sauce is not the usual light yellow but a deeper golden yellow. If you look closely, you can see the cheese sauce.
There are also finely chopped light brown minced garlic inside.
"Before frying, in order to prevent the crab claws from losing a lot of water, I covered them with a fine layer of flour. This way, after frying, this layer of flour can act as a protective film to protect it.
The juice inside the meat will not be fried dry."
Li Xiao used chopsticks to easily pop out the crab meat from the crab shell, and a large piece of pink crab meat dipped in golden cheese sauce appeared in front of the audience.
"Let me show you how these crab claws are done."
As he spoke, he threw the crab claw meat dripping with cheese into his mouth.
When the teeth bite open the golden shell, the juice inside the crab meat immediately splashes out.
"It's very good. I coated it in flour very thoroughly, which protected the juice inside the crab meat very well. The juice is sweet and sweet, and there is a unique sweetness that belongs to Sakura crab that bursts in the mouth."
“The cheese sauce is rich and has a very layered texture.”
"The crab meat inside is still tender, but the crab meat on the outside has been fried to a crispy texture. It is coated in a rich and sticky cheese sauce. The cheese sauce is mixed with minced garlic, which makes the taste richer and more enjoyable.
Can’t put it down.”
He licked the liquid that flowed from the corner of his mouth, but did not continue to taste it, instead focusing on the last dish.
【Crab leg meat sashimi】
He picked up the tea cup next to him and rinsed his mouth. The crabs he had eaten just now had a relatively strong taste.
If you do not rinse your mouth, it may affect the taste of the final dish.
In fact, what Li Xiao was looking forward to the most was the last dish, so she left it until the end.
After all, the better the ingredients, the simpler the cooking method.
Food like this sashimi can only use the freshest and best ingredients to perfectly express its taste.
The crushed ice under the sashimi emitted bursts of white cold air. Since the current temperature is not high, the ice cubes have only melted a little. However, since there are two layers of plastic wrap covering the crushed ice, Li Xiao is not worried.
The water after the ice cubes melt will seep into the sashimi and affect the texture and taste of the sashimi.
Pick up a complete piece of crab leg meat directly. There are some pink lines on the crab leg meat that look like cherry blossoms, and the crab meat underneath is translucent.
Hold one end of the crab leg between your fingers and put the crab leg in front of the camera.
"If your cooking skills are not up to par with the five dishes I have made, then the audience can just make the crab legs into sashimi like I did, throw the crab legs directly into the pot, steam them and then dip them in mustard.
Just eat it with soy sauce.”
"Of course, crabs are relatively cold, and sashimi crab meat will be even more cooling. After eating crab legs and sashimi, remember to drink a large pot of ginger tea, especially female friends."
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. If the sashimi becomes hot, it will be very unpalatable, so I will try it for everyone now."
When preparing the crab leg meat, Li Xiao had already taken out the cartilage, so the whole crab leg looked soft.
Dip the crab leg meat directly into the soy sauce that has been mixed with a little mustard, and bite into the crab leg that has been dipped in the soy sauce. The taste of the mustard is very spicy, but the amount of mustard Li Xiao added is very small, just to coat the taste buds on the tongue.
Open.
After all, the deep-sea crab itself does not have many parasites, and there is no need to consider whether it needs to add a lot of mustard for sterilization. Moreover, it also has a [steel stomach], even if it has parasites, it will not be in vain.
If mustard hadn't brought out the flavor of the seafood, he wouldn't have even added such a pungent thing.
After being cooled by crushed ice, the crab leg meat becomes ice-cold as a whole. It has a strong sense of fiber and the meat becomes firmer.
"It's very sweet and delicious. It's crispy in the mouth. There's no hint of comfort at all. It feels crispy when you bite it. The cold crab meat even has a bit of sweetness, it's perfect."
After finishing the review of [Six-Eat Sakura Long-Legged Crab], Li Xiao casually chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room for a while, and then closed the live broadcast room.
After taking a look at his income this time, he twitched the corner of his mouth. In these short 20 minutes, half of it was spent eating.
I actually earned more than 9,000 yuan again. It seems that after a person's income reaches a certain level, his income will become higher and higher, and it will become easier to make money. It is true.
I used to work very hard for a month of live broadcasting, and I was only in my early 2000s. Now I can live broadcast casually for half an hour, and it is worth the hard work of the previous 4 months.
Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, what does hard work lead to wealth? Hard work can only lead to a moderately prosperous life at best, but you still need a little brains and luck, otherwise you will just do it recklessly and not make much money at all.
It was such a harmonious meal that you finished your meal and went to bed early, because tomorrow was the day to go snorkeling. According to the original plan, after completing the snorkeling, Li Xiao might go home at any time.
After all, there are quite a lot of people here now. There are only 5 employees hired. As long as the passengers are arranged reasonably, the problem should not be too big.
Sleep until dawn, because there is no special time requirement for snorkeling. As long as the time you choose is not night, low tide, high tide, and there is no wind or rain, the scenery of underwater snorkeling will be very beautiful.
It’s already past 11 o’clock in the morning when everything is ready. Of course, if you insist on saying it’s already noon, it’s actually fine.
The lunch meal was still very sumptuous, because the meal for lunch today was originally a luxurious seafood meal that the third aunt planned to give Li Xiao.
After eating and drinking, I sent my third aunt behind the fish steak.
The four people drove a fishing boat and set off towards today's destination, an island located 2 kilometers away from Hailing Island.
The reason why today's destination is this island is that it is very close to Hailing Island and it has a small crescent-shaped bay.
Moreover, there is a pretty good coral group under this island. Some underwater creatures can survive well in this haven. The scenery can be said to be quite beautiful.
