Chapter 305: Grilled Oysters with Garlic Sauce~
Jiang Rou has another secret weapon, waiting to be used——
That's garlic sauce.
The fragrant garlic sauce was made by Jiang Rou herself yesterday.
Together with Zhou Xiaohua, she peeled five pounds of garlic, one by one, turning them into white and tender crescent-shaped petals.
Chop all the garlic cloves finely.
It doesn't need to be completely chopped into fine pieces. The best state is to have some fine particles like crushed peanuts.
Because it still needs to be fried in a pan next.
The chopped garlic cannot be used directly, it needs to be washed first.
The pungent taste of garlic comes from its own bitterness and astringency.
Washing with running water can wash away the smell of this part and make the garlic sauce taste better.
After washing, squeeze out the water from the minced garlic and set it aside for later use.
Next is to heat the oil in a pan.
Jiang Rou poured in nearly 2 liters of cooking oil in one breath, filling up half of the large iron pot.
Wah-la-la, so greasy.
When the oil temperature reaches 50% to 60% hot, that is, when you put your palm close to the cooking oil and can feel a distinct burning sensation, you can add the washed and chopped garlic.
For the first time, put in one third of the amount.
There is still some moisture left on the minced garlic, which will splash everywhere when you put it into the pot, so be careful~
When the water evaporates, the high temperature cooking oil wraps the tiny garlic pieces. Keep turning.
The originally white minced garlic gradually turns into a golden color during the frying process.
This minced garlic is called golden garlic.
In this process, you must grasp the time and temperature.
If the frying time is too long or the temperature is too high, the minced garlic will easily change from golden to burnt black, and it will also easily form a burnt bitter taste.
There is no trick to this, you just have to be worried and careful.
Besides that, Jiang Rou has gained proficiency through practice.
After the golden garlic is completed.
Next, add the remaining two-thirds of the minced garlic.
This minced garlic is called silver garlic.
Silver garlic does not need to be fried completely, just cooked through.
Mixing golden garlic and silver garlic together can greatly enrich the taste.
Right after.
You can add the previously chopped chili peppers all at once.
And various seasonings.
White sugar, MSG, light soy sauce, and a little salt.
This part also reflects Jiang Rou's natural touch, and it was all added based on her feelings.
All the ingredients were blended together, and the garlic sauce changed from its original silvery white color to a fragrant sauce color, with the addition of red chili peppers.

That's it, you're done.
Garlic sauce can not only be used to eat seafood, but it is also very practical to add one or two spoons when cooking.
For example, stir-fried choy sum.
Simple and convenient, the key is that it tastes good.
So Jiang Rou made a whole pot of garlic sauce, and the aroma filled the house.
After cooling down.
Jiang Rou filled two glass bottles and the largest teacup ever made.
…
Under the night light.
Jiang Rou came out with a large teacup. Before she opened the lid, someone nearby had already smelled the fragrance.
"What is it? Why does it smell so good?"
Song Qingqian smelled a fragrance, very faint, but very tempting.
Zhou Xiaohua also sniffed the air.
My eyes widened instantly.
She made the sauce together!
I used it to mix with noodles while having dinner yesterday. Although it was a bit spicy, it was so fragrant!
The little girl turned her head hurriedly and saw the big teacup that Jiang Rou was holding.
【This thing is delicious! 】
Zhou Xiaohua couldn't wait to share it with Song Qingqian, but Song Qingqian was not Jiang Rou and Zhou Xiaochuan, so she couldn't understand the urgency in her eyes.
Even He Donglai raised his head and took another look at the "treasure" in Jiang Rou's hands.
It is indeed very fragrant.
He Donglai pushed up his glasses which had slipped down with his finger joints.
Right now.
“Red, red! It’s burning!”
"Sister-in-law! The charcoal is burning, come out and take a look! It's ready for grilling!"
The loud shouts of Zhao Guosheng and Song Yan came from the open space outside the courtyard.
Along with it came a wisp of hot smoke.
The two of them had been missing just now because Jiang Rou had arranged for them to go to the barbecue stove.
When the charcoal fire first starts to smoke, it is all black smoke.
Once the charcoal fire turns red, the black smoke will gradually become less.
Zhao Guosheng and Song Yan were busy for quite some time and finally managed to get the charcoal fire burning red. Each of them carried a barbecue stove and walked into the small courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, the stove is lit."
Song Yan smiled brightly at Jiang Rou and came to report.
When he grinned, his teeth looked particularly white.
Just because...
Zhao Guosheng and Song Yan's faces were blackened by the smoke, leaving only their eyes and teeth.
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
"Zhao Tuan, Song Yan, go wash your faces...hahaha..."
There were laughters in the yard one after another.
Zhao Guosheng and Song Yan looked at each other amid the laughter of the crowd.
Standing under the tall electric light, the two of them saw that each other had the same expression as Bao Gong.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
“Hahahahahaha…”
Instead of feeling awkward, they just laughed at each other.
The charcoal fire glowed dark red in the night breeze.
He Donglai took the initiative to walk to the grill and placed the opened oysters one by one on the iron net over the charcoal fire.
He looked at Jiang Rou and asked uncertainly, "Is that so?"
"That's right. Oysters are easy to cook. Grill them for a few minutes. When they start to emit a little water, add a spoonful of garlic sauce to each oyster and grill them for another one or two minutes. That's it."
Jiang Rou explained the steps of grilling oysters.
He Donglai was a little bit incredulous, "Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple! With my secret sauce, it will definitely taste good!"
As Jiang Rou spoke, she handed a large teacup filled with golden garlic sauce to He Donglai.
Song Qingqian responded from the side, "Trust Arou, it will definitely not be wrong!"
Jiang Rou is someone who can make six, seven or eight different flavors even for small potatoes.
He Donglai nodded, "I will do as you say."
For a genius in science and engineering and a bomb disposal expert, making simple grilled oysters is just a matter of following the routine.
It can’t go wrong!
The fragrant garlic sauce can not only be used to grill oysters, but also to make many other dishes.
Jiang Rou used local materials.
I made a cold dish with sea greens and garlic sauce. It is crispy and refreshing. Add a little Shanxi old vinegar and it is very appetizing in summer.
The eggplants on the island are thin and long purple eggplants, not the plump ones.
Break the long eggplants into pieces, brush them with a layer of oil, and grill them over charcoal until they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
At the same time, grill the green peppers over charcoal, which are also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Put the grilled eggplant and green pepper into a bowl, cut them into pieces with scissors, sprinkle with a layer of fine salt, and add two spoons of garlic sauce.
A simple version of garlic roasted eggplant is ready~
There is still a highlight next...
