Chapter 1215: Smell

Grandma, who had taken potatoes out to wash, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh to Jian Yan, "Yan Yan, no matter how many times I see it, I admire your knife skills from the bottom of my heart."

"Practice makes perfect!" Jian Yan replied with a smile. He first sliced ​​a plate of fish fillets and put them in the fresh-keeping box for later use. He also scraped half a basin of fish paste and put it in the fresh-keeping box, and then began to process the fish head.

The method of making chopped pepper fish head is very simple. The taste mainly depends on the taste of the chopped pepper. Jianyan likes to make chopped pepper by himself, and also likes to tinker with pickled and soaked products such as sour beans and sour bamboo shoots.

The cabinet was filled with bottles and jars. She took out the bottle of chopped peppers, but did not rush to open it. Instead, she smeared the fish head that was broken in half with cooking wine, pepper and salt to marinate it.

This takes about twenty minutes.

However, with the time compression board, it can be done in two minutes.

While waiting for the fish head to be cooked for two minutes, she opened the sealed lid of the bright red chopped pepper jar. Instantly, a salty, fragrant and spicy smell rushed out and quickly spread. It was particularly appetizing and refreshing, stimulating people's saliva.

Slice the ginger and cut the green onion into sections, and spread them evenly on a large white round plate.

Then pour the white wine into the chopped pepper, stir well and set aside.

With a ding sound, the fish head is marinated.

She brought out the marinated fish head and placed it on a plate, then sprinkled it with finely chopped red peppers mixed with white wine, covering the fish head completely, and then put it in a pot and steamed it over high heat.

The fish head doesn't cook that quickly, so Jian Yan took out the fish paste from the fresh-keeping box during this interval. He also fished out a few shrimps, removed the shrimp heads and shrimp threads, and took out the shrimp meat. He mixed it with the fish paste in proportion, then added five egg whites and stirred until it was firm, and then started making fish balls.

The slender and delicate fingers moved flexibly, and the plump, white and elastic fish balls gradually filled the plate covered with a large lettuce leaf.

The fish head was not cooked yet, so she took the opportunity to make the sweet and sour crispy fish.

This fish is really big. Even if you take out a part to make fish balls and fish fillets, the rest is enough to make sweet and sour crispy fish.

She made cuts on both sides of half the fish body, then marinated it with seasonings such as green onion, ginger, salt, rice wine, pepper powder, etc. for five minutes, then coated it with a paste made of egg liquid and fish starch, and finally applied a layer of dry starch. Then she turned on the fire and poured oil to heat the pan.

The fish head was already steamed by this time. She called out to Old Lu, and Lu Jinxiu, who was standing in front of the sink carefully washing vegetable leaves, immediately came over and said, "My wife, please give me your instructions."

"The fish head is ready, bring it out!"

"Okay!"

Lu Jinxiu turned around and lifted the lid of the pot. The salty and spicy taste of chopped peppers and the fresh aroma of fish instantly spread out in the white mist. The taste was really stimulating.

"It's both pungent and fragrant, and it tastes very appetizing." Grandma said with a smile.

"It's not healed yet!"

Jian Yan replied, and then sprinkled the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic prepared in advance in the glass bowl evenly on the surface of the chopped pepper fish head, and poured a spoonful of hot oil on it with a spoon. With the sound of "sizzling", the aroma of chopped pepper, fish, green onion, ginger and garlic was immediately stimulated.

The taste was even more stimulating than when it was just out of the pot, causing Lu Jinxiu and the others to swallow their saliva continuously, wishing they could pick up chopsticks and start eating right away.

Jian Yan couldn't care about them now. She put the fish that had been coated with starch into the pan and fried it.

The aroma of frying was so strong that the smell of chopped pepper fish head was even weaker than it. When it was almost done frying, the two tempting aromas mixed together, making Yingchun and the others in the living room couldn't help swallowing their saliva. It smelled so good.

It’s torture!
