Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 262 Innovation

[Update for leave in May]

"Let's do it the same way. Let's try adding snake orchid first."

Qin Lang opened the big bag on the table and took out one of the three small bags inside.

In that bag, there was a spice that looked like a dried flower, with petals that were slender and curved like a snake curling its body.

This spice has a dark purple appearance, and when you put it close to your nose, you can smell a scent that is somewhat similar to citrus.

This is snake orchid, a spice that does not exist on earth but is quite common in this world.

Qin Lang's knowledge of it quickly emerged in his mind.

Snake orchids are mild in nature, slightly sour, and have a citrus smell.

Add it to the cooking process of crabmeal…

In the blink of an eye, Qin Lang already had an idea.

"Open the crab first." He handed the hairy crabs that had been steamed under accelerated cooking to Dan Bao, and he began to heat the oil in the pot.

Dan Bao has become very proficient in dismantling crabs. While the oil is hot, the hairy crabs have been split into several parts: crab roe, crab paste, crab meat and crab shell.

After adding crab shells to the hot oil, Qin Lang took the lead in stir-frying and boiling the crab oil.

La La, who was already familiar with this step, used cooking acceleration again. The hot oil in the pot changed from golden yellow to attractive bright red under low heat at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After taking out the crab shells, Qin Lang reached out and grabbed about ten sticks of snake orchids and sauteed them together with the minced ginger that was originally used in frying the crab powder.

With the sound of "stinging" the oil, the strange fragrance exploded under the stimulation of the hot oil, and hit the face violently with the rise of the heat.

Qin Lang's two little eyes lit up at the same time.

They have worked together to fry crab noodles many times, and they are already familiar with each cooking step and the taste of the corresponding semi-finished product.

After adding snake orchids, the taste that comes out now is completely different from just adding ground ginger!

The aroma of minced ginger is mixed with traces of citrus aroma, and at the same time there is another strange fragrance looming.

The taste of snake plant is just like citrus. As a spice, it naturally has its own unique taste.

Recognizing this faint fragrance, Qin Lang couldn't help but smile.

This scent was not unfamiliar to him.

Although he has never added this spice to his cooking, the flavor of this spice has appeared many times in the many local delicacies Qin Lang has tasted in the past.

I don’t know what kind of changes the taste of snake orchids will bring to the crab noodles after the crab noodles are completely cooked.

After sauteing, Qin Lang quickly fished out the shriveled snake orchids that turned completely black and the minced ginger that was fried to a golden color, and then added crab roe and crab paste.

Considering that snake orchids themselves are slightly acidic, Qin Lang reduced the amount of vinegar appropriately during the process of frying crab noodles. The other steps were exactly the same as normal frying of crab noodles.

Soon, a portion of crab meat that looked unchanged on the surface came out.

But smelling the faint extra aroma in the crab powder, Qin Lang knew that the taste of this crab powder must be different from the original version.

"Try it." Qin Lang dressed up and handed it to the two little ones, and then tasted it himself.

The next moment, the eyes of one person and two spirits lit up at the same time.

The two little ones ate the delicacies cooked by Qin Lang every day, and their tastes had long been developed. Unknowingly, they also developed a good food appreciation ability.

As a chef, Qin Lang is also not lacking in this aspect.

They soon noticed the difference between the modified crab noodles and the original version.

"A bit like crab stuffed with orange?" Qin Lang said thoughtfully after tasting it.

Citrus and crab go well together, as evidenced by crab-stuffed orange.

At this moment, the citrus smell of snake orchid is completely integrated into the crab powder, which naturally adds a unique sweetness to the crab powder. This sweetness complements the deliciousness of the crab itself, making the crab powder a little more appetizing.

But there are big differences.

The faint fragrance of snake orchid plays an interesting role in this process. It is like an adhesive that combines the two different flavors more closely, and at the same time gives the crab powder a unique aftertaste.

With its help, the taste of crab powder has indeed improved to a small level.

If you want to quantify it by taste value, this wave has at least a taste value of +5.

"Let's try the remaining two spices!" Qin Lang couldn't wait to see that Ms. Ye Zangqing's suggestion could really improve the deliciousness of the crab powder.

Soon, one person and two spirits were busy again.

Kennel seeds are a special spice that is dark red in color and looks a bit like sesame seeds. However, its actual taste is very different from sesame seeds. It is somewhat similar to Sichuan peppercorns. It can bring a unique spicy flavor and has the strong taste of dried chili peppers. fragrant.

Add it to crab powder, and the crab powder will have a spicy taste.

There is a feeling of changing from crab noodles to spicy crab.

But after tasting it, Qin Lang had to admit that it was really delicious when paired with rice.

The unique spiciness will not ruin the deliciousness of the crab noodles at all as long as the amount is right. The numbing taste is also a must-have for diners who like spicy food.

Although the spiciness of crab rice with rice noodles is a bit unconventional, as spiciness is rarely added to the local dishes to which it belongs, Qin Lang, who is in another world, said that he is the mainstream!

As for the wooden crab fight, it gave Qin Lang another surprise.

This is a lump-shaped spice with a bright red appearance. At first glance, it really looks like a steamed crab body.

And its taste is equally strange, a bit like a mix of sweet ginger and chopped pepper.

Chop it into pieces like ginger and add it to crab oil to sauté until fragrant. The flavor will undergo some wonderful changes. When it blends with the scent of the crab itself, there is a transformation of one plus one greater than two.

When one of the spices is added alone, the wooden crab bucket brings the greatest improvement in deliciousness!

After trying the three spices, Qin Lang's work was not done yet.

He also needs to try the effects of combining these spices in pairs, and finally see if he can use three spices at the same time...

It wasn't until the bell rang again, the communication phase was over, and the third business session of the evening was about to begin, that Qin Lang came back to his senses from his feverish research.

Somewhat sadly, snake plant doesn't pair well with the other two spices.

After its own taste collides with the spiciness, there is a feeling of losing both sides and they cannot coexist.

However, kenaf seeds and wooden crab buckets can be paired together.

The former is mainly spicy, while the latter is also slightly spicy.

After the two spices are combined, the taste can be sublimated.

So it was obvious how Qin Lang should choose.

He is going to embark on the road of no return where he eats crab meat and rice with spicy food!

After determining the spices to match, Qin Lang also tried some matching ratios, and now figured out the ratio of the two spices.

It's not necessarily the best, but it's also the limit of what he can do in a short time.

Looking at the approaching cruise ship in the sunset, Qin Lang showed an expectant expression.

I don’t know what diners will think when they taste the new crab meat rice.
