Chapter 153 Crab Roe Soup Dumplings
Although crab roe soup dumplings are also a kind of steamed buns, they are actually made very differently from ordinary steamed buns. The difference lies in the dough of crab roe soup dumplings. The dough of crab roe soup dumplings is often more resilient and smoother, and is not as soft as ordinary steamed buns.
The advantage of this is that the soup in the crab roe soup dumplings can be retained inside the dumplings instead of being absorbed by the dough.
When the dough was almost processed, Heath tied up the big purple crabs, put them into the steamer and started steaming the crabs. During the process of steaming the crabs, Heath also needed to deal with some other things, and these other things were the crab meat.
The ingredients used for the filling of a genuine crab roe soup dumpling are very special, including crab roe and crab meat. The soup for the crab roe soup dumpling is also required to be chicken soup. Chicken soup and crab roe are easy to handle, but crab meat is more of a headache for Heath.
Heath has not forgotten what he just saw with the food identifier. Although the roe of the purple crab is a top delicacy, its crab meat is very unpalatable. If the meat of the purple crab is added to the crab roe, then the crab roe soup dumpling would probably be ruined.
"It would be great if there were crabs with firm meat and good taste." Heath sighed. He didn't buy crabs today. After all, Heath didn't expect that he would be making crab roe soup dumplings today. Since there were no crabs, he would need some other ways to deal with them.
After hesitating for a moment, Heath took out a tree fruit from the food cabinet. This was an orange fruit. Heath bought the plant roots needed to grow Farfetch'd. However, the orange fruit can also be eaten and tastes a bit sour. Heath tasted a little and found that it was not okay to eat it directly as it would be too sour and a bit like lemon.
But if this thing is handled properly, it can be used to make crab roe soup dumplings, but the prerequisite is that Heath needs something else.
"Luckily I still have this thing ." Heath looked at his refrigerator and took out a piece of pork belly. This was the leftover ingredient from when Heath made braised pork belly.
Although there are no crab legs, a top chef needs to learn to use local ingredients, or think of other ways to make his dishes complete. A chef who cannot cook without ingredients is still a chef, but innovation and future development trends are destined to be like that.
Such chefs can only be said to be chefs restricted by dogma. The only recipes they can think of are those that have already been made and verified.
Take the piece of pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts, and cut the fat and lean meat into dices, the smaller the better. Then squeeze the juice from the orange fruit, pour the juice into the diced pork belly, add some honey and stir. Heath originally thought about using condensed milk, but condensed milk is too sweet, so honey is more appropriate.
After stirring evenly, you can put it aside for later use. Heath took the opportunity to boil the chicken soup, but the fire was too low. In order to catch up with the steaming time of the purple crab, Heath called out Charmander and asked it to help heat it up over high heat.
After that, he took out some chicken broth and boiled it together with the diced pork belly. Then Heath walked into the lounge with the bowl of chicken broth, woke up Shekaby, and let Shekaby use its ability to quickly cool down the chicken broth, which then formed jelly in the bowl.
Heath nodded with satisfaction, and now all the steps were completed.
Heath took out a kitchen knife, took out the steamed purple crab, and skillfully opened the shell of the crab. Then a large pile of crab roe came into Heath's eyes. Heath couldn't help but smile. People in this world don't seem to like eating crab roe very much. They often only eat the crab meat when eating crabs.
However, for a Chinese who has eaten crab roe, crab roe, the best ingredient, is naturally satisfying. Heath likes this kind of crab with rich crab roe, and the crab roe of the big purple crab looks very fresh. Heath slowly poured out the crab roe. He estimated that the crab roe should be enough to make twelve crab roe soup dumplings. He just didn't know if Feng Wang could finish it.
Mix the crab roe and chicken broth jelly together, wrap them into soup dumplings, put them into the steamer again, steam them over high heat for about seven minutes and they are ready to eat.
"Why is it so slow?" Ho-Oh said dissatisfiedly. Heath took too long this time, and there was no special fragrance. Ho-Oh wondered if Heath was also helpless with this crab.
"Delicious food requires waiting, sir." Heath said calmly. Now all he had to do was wait for the soup dumplings to be cooked. Apart from that, there wasn't much Heath could do.
"Hehe, if it doesn't taste good, I won't pay for it!" Feng Wang snorted twice and sat back. Other customers also came to Heath's dining car. They came to buy braised chicken rice.
By the time Heath had entertained the three guests, the crab roe soup dumplings were ready. Heath opened the steamer, slowly and carefully and placed them on the tray. However, Heath's plate could only hold three crab roe soup dumplings, so Heath gave four plates to Ho-Oh.
"What is this? It smells like crab." Feng Wang moved her little nose and looked curiously at the food that Heath brought to her.
"This is the crab roe soup dumpling made with the big purple crab just now. It's very hot, please be careful when eating." Heath reminded, although he didn't think there was any need to remind, this is the Phoenix King, it would be a rare thing if he could be scalded by the soup on the mouth.
Feng Wang curiously picked up a crab roe soup dumpling with chopsticks. When the soup dumpling was pulled up, it bounced up and down, and a rich aroma came out. Feng Wang could see the soup in the soup dumpling, which made Feng Wang swallow his saliva.
Then Feng Wang blew on the crab roe soup dumpling in front of him and took a bite of it.
The rich soup instantly seeped out from the broken dough and flowed into Feng Wang's mouth. The taste of crab roe and chicken soup mixed together, making Feng Wang's taste buds feel like they were about to explode. This kind of scalding soup would have burned an ordinary person and made them gasp for air, but Feng Wang didn't feel anything and she even took a bite.
There are some things like small water droplets in the delicate crab roe. It is very fragrant when you bite it, and it comes with a light sweet and sour taste. The sour and sweet taste is very light and will not destroy the taste of the crab roe and chicken soup.
"Ha~" Feng Wang made a satisfied sound with a red face. This crab roe soup dumpling was really delicious.
But Heath's expression became strange. What kind of reward is this?
