Chapter 51: Snails, trembling ()

It takes a lot of effort to prepare the snails, scrubbing, soaking, and then using pliers to remove the tail section. This process is essential. Without it, fried snails would not be called snails, but simply fried snails. Stir-fried snails

Field snails and snails are two different concepts.

Anyone who has eaten snails knows that by sucking the cut off tail of the snail shell hard, the meat will be sucked tightly to the tail, and then turning the snail back to suck the head, so that the meat can be sucked out. How does the snail get the result?

The name? It’s because it makes a squeaking sound when inhaled, so it’s called a snail. So without the process of clamping the tail, it can’t be squeaked. If it can’t be squeaked, it’s naturally not called a snail.

It is not difficult to clamp the tail of the snail. Luo Hui did it very quickly. Su Wenjing watched him clamp a few and learned the lesson. The female man also picked up a pair of pliers.

It took the two of them forty to fifty minutes to make half a pot of snails.

Luo Hui washed the clamped snails, scrubbing away as much snail debris as possible, and then soaked them in more concentrated salt water. The main purpose of doing this was to allow the snails to completely spit out the dirt in their belly.

As the snails soaked quietly, Luo Hui began to prepare side dishes. Anyone who often eats snails knows that the main thing that snails eat is not the snail meat, and certainly not the snail shells, but the taste, so the side dishes are

It's important.

Garlic cloves and old ginger are essential. For chili peppers, you must use small red peppers, and it is best to get some chili peppers. It should be noted that if the snails are not spicy enough, no matter how delicious they are, they will not become a real snail dish.

Only when it's spicy enough to make those who eat it shiver can it be called perfect.

There is no need to add the green onion, and use leeks instead. Do not use the large-leaf leeks sold in the market, it is most suitable to use the leeks grown by the locals.

In the countryside, leeks are a more popular vegetable than onions. Onions can only be grown once a year and must be planted every year. But leeks only need to be planted once in a lifetime, and after picking them today, they will come back to life in a few days.

It comes out, and it is the same in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The leaves of the leeks grown by the villagers are not very big, but when cooked, they smell very fragrant and make people salivate.

We have garlic, ginger, peppers, and leeks, but the last thing that is indispensable is perilla. Perilla is known to remove fishy smell and enhance the flavor. When making fishy dishes, adding perilla is indispensable.

It is also indispensable when frying snails.

No one would plant perilla in the countryside, because it grows everywhere in front of and behind the house, on the roadside and in the wild ridges. If you want to use it, just pick it. When the perilla is about to get old, the villagers will

They will pick them in large quantities and dry them in the sun. The effect of using them with vegetables will be the same. At the same time, dried perilla also has medicinal value.

"Brother Xiaohui, go get the other dishes. I'll just cut these." When Luo Hui got all the side dishes ready to cut, Su Wenjing said from the side.

"Okay, you cut it. Remember to chop it into fine pieces, so as to make the snails more flavorful...Also, this pepper is very spicy. You must pay attention when cutting it. Remember to wear gloves, otherwise your hands will be damaged."

Wherever the pepper juice touches the skin, it will be as hot as fire." Luo Hui nodded and explained.

"Yes, I understand." Su Wenjing agreed, took the kitchen knife and started cutting.

A female man would put his hands in his clothes to open his mouth, and rarely went into the kitchen, let alone cutting vegetables. However, in the past two days, she had been learning how to cook from Luo Hui. Luo Hui did not refuse her, and taught her

It is not harmful to her, it can also reduce her own burden, and it is good for her to learn something. Firstly, she has many skills, which is not overwhelming, and secondly, it allows her to experience more labor, which is good for her arrogant temperament.

Su Wenjing followed Luo Hui's instructions and cut vegetables with leather gloves. Not to mention that she was a pretty good cutter.

Luo Hui is preparing other dishes on the side. Tonight, he will serve five dishes and one soup, including snails, fried field snails with perilla, boiled crucian carp with green pepper, fried panlong, and stir-fried water spinach.

In addition, the soup is yellow-bone fish soup, and the yellow-bone fish has to be picked up from the net bag beside the pond.

The eels and fish that Luo Hui now stores in the pond weigh several dozen kilograms. Luo Hui had planned to send them back to his parents a few days ago, but the watermelons in the fence

The vegetables are growing crazier and crazier, and all four plants have already bloomed and produced small fruits. It is estimated that it will only take a few days before the first melons and vegetables are ready, so I might as well wait and send them back together.

Normally, a trip back to the city from Gaojia Village only takes a few hours. Luo Hui can definitely spare these few hours of free time. But Luo Hui is afraid that after going back, his mother will say he is not doing his job properly, and he will be criticized by Lao Luo.

In the ideological and political class, Luo Hui simply waited for the vegetables to be ripe.

"Hey, when they taste such wonderful melons and wonderful dishes, I guess not only they won't say anything, but they will even encourage themselves."

While imagining and preparing, Luo Hui had already prepared the ingredients for other dishes in a short time. Over there, Su Wenjing had already cut the snail garnishes. Luo Hui rolled up his sleeves and began to show off his skills. Su Wenjing did not come out.

In the kitchen, she was watching and studying.

Luo Hui first made the four dishes and one soup. These were all for children, and he was very familiar with them. He took them in two places, put them in a bowl, and took them out with Su Wenjing. Then he asked Niu Niu to shout and sing Liu Guihua, while he

Call the village chief Gao Zong's home phone number and ask him and his wife to come over and have a few drinks to shake things up.

Gaozong was originally polite and embarrassed to come, but after hearing Luo Hui say that there was a very exciting dish tonight, Gaozong, who had tasted Luo Hui's cooking several times, couldn't resist the temptation and brought his mother-in-law.

Luo Hui put down his cell phone, returned to the kitchen, cleaned the pot, and tonight's highlight, the fried snails, officially began. Su Wenjing wanted to continue coming in to observe, but Luo Hui didn't let her in because the smell of cooking oil was too strong.

Moreover, when Chaotian pepper was passed through the strong oil, it stung the nose very much. Didn't you see that Luo Hui himself was wearing a mask?

Many people like to cook the snails first with water. Firstly, the pieces on the snails are boiled off, so that the flavor is easier to eat. Secondly, the snail meat is easy to cook and is safe to eat.

Luo Hui didn't take this route, he poured oil directly into the pot. After the oil boiled, he poured the snails in, and it turned out to be deep-fried snails. The fried snails can also play the role of boiled snails, and at the same time, after

Fried snails, including the snail shells, are fragrant, and the taste is definitely not comparable to that of boiled snails.

However, the heat for frying snails must be controlled properly. If the heat is not enough, it will not be done properly. If the heat is too high, the snail meat will change flavor, and even the snail shells will become crispy. If you bite it with a little force, your mouth will be full of snail shell fragments.

What a shame.

Luo Hui controlled the heat of frying the snails very accurately. He let the snails tumble in the oil for a few minutes, then turned off the heat, fished out the snails, and filtered the oil. Then he washed the pot, put it on the rack, and turned on the heat again to pour in the oil.

This time, the side vegetables were put in. When the side vegetables were put into the pot, a strong aroma burst out, mixed with a large number of spicy molecules, which was very exciting. The side vegetables were fried briefly, and then the snails were added to the pot, stir-fried together,
Chapter completed!
