Chapter 158 Everything else is just embellishment, this fish is the protagonist!
The grass carp is grilled on charcoal fire.
However, it is only a semi-finished product now.
It also needs to be added with secret sauce and go through the key process of frying before it is considered complete.
"How spicy do you want the base sauce? Are there any dietary restrictions? The only side dishes that come with the grilled fish are bean curd sheets and bean sprouts."
Su Chen put the roasted grass carp on the baking tray, set it aside, and asked.
"Can you add more spice? Can you add some garnish?"
He Rui licked his lips, obviously feeling that the existing side dishes were not enough.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately glanced at the chef beside him.
He really ignored this just now.
As for the side dishes, there are fresh ecological vegetables in the fish farm, so we can serve whatever is available.
The chef understood and quickly took a list and hurried over.
"Then lettuce, mushrooms, and bean curd sheets!"
The side dishes are not expensive.
Five yuan per portion, just order three items, and that's enough for him to eat.
The bean curd sheets and bean sprouts that come with the basic side dishes have already been processed.
Quietly waiting for the shining debut.
As for the lettuce, mushrooms and bean curd skins that the diners just added.
Su Chen quickly told the chef to prepare.
Then he quickly walked to the stove and prepared to stir-fry the base ingredients.
Turn on the stove fire control handle, and blue flames gush out, licking the bottom of the pot enthusiastically.
Heat the pan and pour in golden clear cooking oil.
When the oil was hot and smoking, Su Chen put in the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic.
There was a crackling sound and the fragrance filled the air.
Then, dried red chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns were sprinkled into the pot, and the spicy and stimulating smell suddenly rushed out.
Add another large spoonful of fermented black bean paste.
The red oil is stir-fried and jumps happily in the pot, adding a rich color to the entire base.
This is not enough!
Su Chen added some carefully blended spice powder, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and some boiling water.
At this time, the chef hurried over with fresh side dishes.
He reached out to take it and poured it all into the pot.
Stir-fry the side dishes with the base ingredients for a while. After they have fully absorbed the spicy flavor of the base ingredients, pour them over the grilled grass carp.
Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds, some coriander, and fried peanuts.
Finally it’s done!
"Your grilled fish is ready!"
Following the shout, the baking tray was brought out steadily.
This grill pan was freshly brought from the fishing ground restaurant.
In order to make it work properly, a long wire was specially connected.
The moment it’s served on the table.
He Rui quickly lifted his butt off the stool and stared at the grilled fish.
The fish lay on the plate, emitting tempting heat and smoke rising from it, like a dream.
The golden and crispy fish skin seems to be coated with a thin layer of gold foil, and every inch of it exudes an enticing burnt aroma.
The soup flows slowly in the plate, sparkling with oil and emitting layers of aroma, including the fresh fragrance of fish, the spicy aroma of spices, and the fresh fragrance of vegetables, blending together in a tempting way that is simply irresistible.
He Rui was distracted.
I almost forgot to grab my chopsticks and wanted to just reach in and scoop it up.
Ahem…
Still can't get too excited.
He first picked up a piece of meat from the back of the fish with chopsticks and dipped it in the soup from the base sauce, which was still dripping with red oil.
The closer you get, the spicier the flavor becomes.
Open your mouth wide and put it in your mouth.
“Hmm!”
In an instant, He Rui's eyes widened.
The spiciness is burning, and there is an electric sensation around the mouth.
The fish skin has a slightly crispy texture and the spices have just the right salty flavor.
It was a perfect opening for the subsequent taste.
Next comes the tender fish meat. With a light sip, the fish meat melts in your mouth, delicate and smooth, releasing its fresh fragrance without reservation.
The mixture of the spicy red oil, the numbness of the base and the mellowness of various spices has a very rich taste, which is completely spicy and refreshing.
It penetrates deeply into every fiber of the fish, bringing a long-lasting and intense stimulation.
What kind of grilled fish is this?
How can it be so delicious?
The main course is so amazing, you have to try the side dishes too!
The juicy green lettuce slices are tender, without any string, and have a great texture. They are not overcooked and are easy to pick up. They are very flavorful after absorbing the spicy sauce and taste rich and juicy.
The fried peanuts are fragrant and crispy, and the original astringency of the bean sprouts disappears, replaced by a light sweetness.
The slender thousand sheets are wrapped around both sides of the fish body. They are thin, soft and elastic, and have been infused with the essence of the spicy base. When chewed, they have a fragrant and spicy taste of beans.
The same goes for the bean curd skin, which lies softly around the fish body, layer upon layer, soaked in the rich soup and full of flavor.
He Rui closed his eyes, chewed for a while, and opened his eyes again.
He was smiling while eating, and his whole body exuded a kind of spirit.
The inconspicuous shiitake mushrooms on the edge of the pot have their cross cuts slightly open.
As you chew, the soft, tender, and smooth mushroom flesh instantly oozes juice between your teeth. The umami molecules in the juice happily run across your tongue, creating a tangy blend of spiciness and freshness between your lips and teeth.
Siha!
He Rui ate it with great pleasure.
Even the side dishes are of this quality, no wonder the grilled fish is so good!
He picked up another piece of fish with his chopsticks and dipped it into the soup.
The red oil and base sauce are evenly covered on the fish. The bright red color and rich spice particles make your mouth water at the sight.
ah!
The fish is so fresh, fragrant and spicy, so spicy that it's like shasshas...
The spicy taste is like a fine electric current, jumping and shuttling on the tip of the tongue, making one's lips tremble slightly, but unable to stop.
This is not eating fish, this is clearly snatching the soul.
It was so delicious that I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
The more He Rui ate, the more delicious he felt the grilled fish was.
The side dishes really just became embellishments, and the fish was the star of the show.
It can also be said that it is these side dishes that make the taste of grilled fish more rich.
"Boss, your grilled fish is so delicious! It's incredibly fragrant, numb, and spicy. It's absolutely delicious!"
"As long as you like it!"
Su Chen responded calmly, and was busy heating up the cold crucian carp that he had not finished eating.
After He Rui finished praising, he dove into the baking tray without stopping.
He ate like crazy.
With a nimble flick of the tongue, he quickly separated the fish meat from the fish bone, then spit the fish bone out of his mouth and smacked his lips wildly.
From time to time, he would utter some "hmm" and "ah" interjections, his voice full of intoxication.
The chef standing not far away stared at the grilled fish, almost spinning around in circles because of his greed.
He had very sensitive ears. The sizzling sound of grilled fish and the smacking of customers' lips were pleasing to his ears and stimulated his nerves.
His nose was also sensitive, and the rich spicy aroma kept teasing his nasal cavity.
Not only that, the entire gastrointestinal system is sensitive, and the stomach can't help but feel sour.
The chef was filled with envy and hatred when he saw the guests feasting on the food.
