Food starts with noodles

The wild small miscellaneous fish in the Yellow River, the dried small fish is definitely better than those on the market.

Not only because the small miscellaneous fish in the Yellow River are pure wild, but mainly because this kind of small miscellaneous fish grows in the Yellow River, in order not to be caught in the undercurrent, they have to swim desperately.

In this case, these trash fish will grow slowly, but the flesh is very firm.

And all the small fish are round and plump, and the meat is relatively thick.

Such a small fish made into dried fish?Can it not be fragrant?

However, although this small miscellaneous fish is delicious, it is not very easy to buy.

Because these small fish are caught fresh, there are many buyers, and they don't worry about selling as many as they have.

Basically, as soon as the small fishing boats come ashore, the catches will be looted.

Not only small miscellaneous fish are popular, but aquatic products such as Yellow River carp, Yellow River shrimp, and wild soft-shelled turtle also have many fans.

Basically, as long as the fishing boats dock, everyone will buy whatever they have.

So if you can't catch up, you will really miss it.

In addition to the large number of buyers, another reason for not being able to buy is that the time when fishing boats dock is uncertain, sometimes early and sometimes late.

If you are lucky, you can still catch up. If you are not lucky, you may not be able to buy it even if you stay there.

Because this kind of small miscellaneous fish is not caught every day.

Moreover, many river sections are now prohibited from fishing, and fishing can only be done at the gates of the Yellow River or in wetland lakes with tidal flats.

Production is not guaranteed.

It can be said that this is a more character-driven activity.

"It's so hard to buy? Then don't buy it at all. Why can't we eat bear cubs?"

Yu Keke hugged the bear cub, pinched the pads on its paws, and began to recount the disasters that this bear had caused in Linping City in the past few days.

For example, secretly followed Li Hao to the laboratory, and took away two frogs that everyone planned to dissect.

It is not known whether the two frogs were eaten or thrown away. Anyway, Li Hao was implicated that day and was punished by the teacher for cleaning the laboratory.

In addition, when you see a girl with big breasts, you will take the initiative to run over to show your friendship.

Girls with cups above C-level are not spared.

This caused Yu Keke and Sun Panpan to be hit again invisibly.

"This kind of small miscellaneous fish tastes good, even if it's empty, it's worth a try. And now that the reeds are lush, it's more suitable to go out and relax."

After arriving at the Yellow River beach area, Yu Keke got off the car with Xiongzai in his arms.

Stepping on the beach and looking at the water of the Yellow River, the two of them relaxed unconsciously.

But Xiong Zai had obviously never seen such a scene.

Standing several meters away from the water, he was too scared to move forward.

Even when the waves appeared, he took a few steps back.

But soon, after adapting to the environment, it started running around, and occasionally used its claws to pull the sand under its feet.

Xu Zhuo was a little curious: "What is it doing? Is it having fun?"

"No... it should be using this beach as its... cat litter box."

Xu Zhuo looked at Xiong Zai, and it seemed that he was really like this.

It pawed around, as if looking for a place to go to the toilet, but it was still not satisfied after pawing a dozen or so holes.

The two of them wandered around the beach for a while, and after taking a photo, they boarded the car again.

Xu Zhuo drove to a nearby fish selling place. As soon as the car stopped, he saw an assault boat approaching the shore. The man who drove the boat was still holding a heavy bag in his hand, obviously there was a catch.

"Is there any small miscellaneous fish? If you have any, give me ten catties."

"This bag is full of small miscellaneous fish, wait for me to weigh it for you right away."

The man put the bag on the spot, then took out an electronic scale from the grass nest next to it, and began to fill Xu Zhuo with fish.

Xiong Zai leaned aside and became irritable when he smelled the fishy smell.

He also pulled Yu Keke's trouser legs from time to time.

Obviously, it wants to eat.

But for the sake of its health, Yu Keke didn't let him eat it.

Instead, a few small dried fish from the bag made it satisfy its hunger.

After buying the fish, Xu Zhuo drove back to the store, cleaned the small fish, picked out some snails and other sundries, and started to clean the internal organs.

This kind of small fish does not need to be cut open, just pinch and squeeze with your fingers, and the internal organs will be squeezed out.

After the internal organs are squeezed out, it is safe to eat like this.

There will be no bitter taste like small miscellaneous fish.

Clean the small fish with their internal organs extruded, soak them in salt water for a while, and then put them in the dryer for drying.

Small fish that cats eat cannot have this step.

But for people to eat, you have to add some salt to increase the taste.

Do not apply salt when drying this small miscellaneous fish, because if you apply salt, it will be unevenly applied.

It can only be soaked in salt water.

In this way, it not only tastes good, but also soaks in salt water, the water in the fish will be killed, and the dried fish will be more firm.

In addition, adding salt also has the effect of gaining weight.

This is also the reason why some dried dried shrimps and other dried aquatic products in the market are very salty.

After all, compared with the ingredients, the price of table salt is much cheaper.

Moreover, table salt is relatively stable, and it is the most commonly used weighting agent in ingredients, especially seafood ingredients.

When vendors in some coastal areas make such dried products, they directly use seawater to make them, which contains salt, which saves costs.

Most of the dried seafood that tastes bitter is made with sea water or coarse salt water.

It was after four o'clock in the afternoon that Xu Zhuo cleaned up these small miscellaneous fish.

I have been busy since ten o'clock in the morning, and I am so busy that my back hurts.

"Just now I wanted to tell you that when people eat this stuff, they don't remove the internal organs, and there is no taste at all."

Feng Weiguo was a little speechless towards Xu Zhuo's behavior.

Such a small fish actually squeezed out their internal organs one by one, which is a bit unnecessary.

Xu Zhuo smiled, but didn't speak.

He filled himself with a few sheep's hoofs and took them out. He needed to relax. If he knew it, he would have bought five catties.

As a result, not only the dryer is full of dried fish, but even the oven is baking at a low temperature.

"Wei Guo, do you think Xu Zhuo has gone further than you in cooking?"

The old man was free, chatting with Feng Weiguo.

"It must be farther than me, it goes without saying."

The old man asked again: "Do you know why?"

"Because he is more talented than me, and he has taught him more chefs..." Feng Weiguo pondered for a moment, and said his answer.

But the old man just shook his head.

"No, what you said is not the main reason."

"Then why did you say it?"

"It's because our family is so clumsy, so serious about ingredients!"

Chapter 700 Spicy Dried Fish

After the dried fish was dried, Xu Zhuo tried to make a spicy dried fish.

To be precise, this dish should be Hunan cuisine, but this dish is available in many places across the country.

It should be considered a home-cooked dish by now.

Since it is a home-cooked dish, it is somewhat casual to make.

The way Xu Zhuo got it is more in favor of the Sichuan and Hunan style, because the hot millet is used, and the quantity is relatively large.

This kind of spicy stir-fried dish with millet is more common in Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.

So Xu Zhuo thinks that this is Sichuan and Hunan style dishes, but whether it belongs to Sichuan cuisine or Hunan cuisine, Xu Zhuo does not know.

Besides, Hunan cuisine is separated from Sichuan cuisine. In many places, Sichuan and Hunan cuisine are not separated. In some places, the name of the shop is directly called Chuanxiangqing.

It can be seen how closely the connection between Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine is.

In addition to the spicy millet, this dish also uses minced garlic, minced ginger, pepper, dried fermented soybeans, bean paste and scallion.

In addition, the dried fish needs to be soaked before cooking.

Do not soak for too long, half an hour is enough.

Soaking in this way will soften the dried fish, but because of the presence of salt during baking, the dried fish will not become very waxy even if it softens after soaking.

On the contrary, after soaking, the taste of the dried fish is still strong, and after soaking in water, the salt in the dried fish will be dissolved, and the taste will be better.

Of course, if you buy small dried fish, you need to wash it several times.

Because the dried fish produced in large quantities not only has a lot of salt, but also has a worrying hygienic condition, so it needs to be washed several times.

After the dried fish was soaked, Xu Zhuo cut the millet into rings, the scallion into sections, and the garlic and ginger into pieces.

After everything was ready, Xu Zhuo started to make this delicious spicy dried fish.

First pour oil in the pan and heat the oil to [-]% heat.

Then pour the dried fish that has been dried out and fry it.

This step is to lock the water that entered the dried fish just after soaking, so that it will not feel like eating a rubber band.

The frying time does not need to be too long, basically it can be out of the pan in 1 minute.

Within 1 minute, the outside of the small enough fish is fried dry, but the inside of the fish is still fresh and tender.

If it takes a long time, the moisture in the dried fish will be completely blown out, and such dried fish will become a failed product.

After frying, pour out the oil in the pan, leaving a little base oil.

The next step is to fry.

But before adding the main ingredients, you need to fry the peppercorns first.

For this dish to taste spicy and delicious, pepper is an indispensable ingredient.

However, after having the peppercorns, it is a bit troublesome to eat, so you need to fry the peppercorns first, so that the taste of the peppercorns remains in the oil, and the fried peppercorns can be taken out and thrown away.

After Xu Zhuo started the fire, he turned down the heat and put the peppercorns into the pot.

Slowly fry on low heat, so that the aroma of peppercorns can be deep-fried into the meat.

This step should not be overheated. If the fire is too high, it will be burnt before the aroma of peppercorns is fried.

Only slow frying over low heat can bring out the flavor of peppercorns little by little.

When the color of the surface of the prickly ash increased and the aroma of the prickly ash wafted out of the pot, Xu Zhuo took a finer colander and scooped out all the prickly ash grains in the pot.

Then, Xu Zhuo put a spoonful of bean paste into the pot, turned up the heat slightly, and started to stir fry.

After frying red oil, Xu Zhuo turned up the fire.

He put in the prepared dried tempeh and fried it for a few times, then put in the minced ginger and minced garlic, stir-fried until the aroma was released, and then added millet pepper and scallion white.

After the choking smell of spicy millet wafted out, Xu Zhuo poured in the dried fish that had just been oiled.
