Chapter 137 Appetizers

Radish slices are a free appetizer provided by Jian's Restaurant. They are easy to make and taste great, with a refreshing sour and spicy flavor.

Take a bite, and the crisp sound bursts between your teeth, with a slightly sour, spicy and sweet aftertaste. The rich flavor progresses layer by layer in your mouth, awakening your dormant taste buds.

This kind of appetizer is most refreshing and appetizing when eaten with porridge.

Especially when paired with thick, slightly boiled white porridge that has been boiled to produce rice oil, the taste is simply amazing.

The light and slightly hot white porridge exudes the unique fragrance of rice. Once you take a bite of it, all your internal organs will feel relaxed.

Then have a piece of sour, spicy, crispy and cool radish slices. It is no exaggeration to say that Jian Yan can finish a whole bowl in one go.

Unable to resist her greed, she picked up a piece of radish and put it into her mouth. Before she had time to chew it, pairs of chopsticks appeared like lightning, picked up a piece of radish, and disappeared at the speed of light.

Then, the sound of chewing could be heard. Jian Yan swallowed a piece of radish and looked at Tang Zhen and the others with sparkling eyes. "Is it delicious?"

"Cool."

“Rich in flavor.”

“The taste is excellent.”

"I never knew radishes were so delicious."

Jian Yan was embarrassed and asked curiously, "How did you eat radishes in the past?"

"It's eaten as fruit, eaten raw, no one uses it to cook."

Qiao Xi quickly responded, saying, "Radishes are quite expensive. Major shopping malls position radishes as fruits, not vegetables."

Jian Yan, unable to complain, uttered an "oh." Seeing Qiao Xi reaching out his chopsticks to pick up the radish slices, he immediately stopped him and said, "This is a dish, not a snack. If you finish eating now, there will be no dish to go with the porridge later.

Besides, it’s just been marinated, so the flavor hasn’t absorbed into it yet.”

Several people were surprised and asked, "Isn't this tasty yet?"

It's so delicious even without seasoning, how delicious will it be after seasoning? I'm looking forward to it...

"Yes!"

Jian Yan nodded, turned around and took out a red cloud larva from the fresh-keeping box, cut off the head and tail, and removed the mud line. Then he used scissors to cut open the shell and took out the whole shrimp meat.

The Empire's Red Cloud larvae were almost identical to the prawns of her era, except that their shells had a hint of red and they were larger in size.

Don’t underestimate it because it’s a larva. The tail of a shrimp is as long as her arm.

In short, chop the shrimp meat into meat paste and set aside. Then wash and dice the shiitake mushrooms picked from the forest together with other mushrooms such as the shimeji mushrooms, put them together with the shrimp paste, and then add minced ginger, salt, and cooking wine (privately stored in the system warehouse) and stir to season.

There is no pork in the base, so the step of making pork paste, lard and pork skin jelly needed for shrimp dumpling filling and crab roe soup dumplings can only be omitted.

However, the ingredients here are of high quality, and even without adding these, she is sure to ensure that the taste is delicious.

Just as the filling was ready, the aroma of seafood wafted in from the window. Jian Yan shuddered and said, "It's steamed."

"So soon?"

Steaming blue crabs is not that fast.

However, today's bugs are not as big as the blue crabs, so it seems normal that they are moving faster.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhen and the others stopped worrying about it.

Instead, he followed Jian Yan out and brought the steamed red crabs to the kitchen.

The air was filled with the tempting aroma of crabs. Just by smelling it, Tang Zhen and the others began to drool.

"Come and help me dismantle the crab."

Seeing several people staring at the crab and drooling, Jian Yan had no choice but to ask them to come forward and help.

Tang Zhen and the others immediately came over, helpless as they looked at the swimming crabs that occupied most of the counter.

“How do I dismantle this?”
