Chapter 458: What was the person who invented the stinky mandarin fish thinking?
Stinky mandarin fish is a special dish in Chinese cuisine. Heath was actually very curious about what the person who created this dish was thinking to make such a unique dish. But later Heath realized that unless he could invent a time machine and travel back to the past, Heath would probably not be able to understand why people could make such a unique dish as stinky mandarin fish.
As the name suggests, stinky mandarin fish smells bad. In fact, a fish that has been marinated for seven days will generally have a smell, unless the fish is kept in water. In this case, smelly food usually has to be thrown away. However, since someone actually invented this stinky mandarin fish into a dish, Heath was very worried about what the creator's mental state was when he created the stinky mandarin fish.
However, it must be said that the stinky mandarin fish is really very unique. It smells very bad, but it actually tastes quite good. This made Heath couldn't help but think of a traditional special dish he had eaten in his previous life, which is fried bean worms. Generally speaking, you don't tell your friends from other places what the regional specialty dishes are until they have eaten them. Otherwise, if people feel psychologically disgusted, they may really not be able to eat it. However, bean worms are too easy for Heath.
Heath still remembers that his friend saw Heath eating bean crickets calmly and wanted to laugh at him, but he found that Heath was not afraid at all and didn't even feel awkward at all. Later, Heath invited the friend to Yun Province for an insect feast. Only then did the friend understand why Heath could eat without changing his expression. After all, the insect feast Heath had eaten looked .
"Miss Hemei, here's your stinky mandarin fish." Heath quickly made the stinky mandarin fish. The most troublesome thing about stinky mandarin fish is that it needs to be left out for seven days. Apart from this necessary factor, stinky mandarin fish is actually not particularly complicated to make. However, there are some points that need attention. The oil for frying stinky mandarin fish often needs to be made twice. The first layer of oil should be poured out, and then the second layer of oil should be used to stir-fry it. Only in this way can the stinky mandarin fish taste better. What will happen if the first layer of oil is used?
Then the deliciousness of stinky mandarin fish would be greatly reduced. Later, Heath actually did some research himself, and then he found that the biggest problem of stinky mandarin fish is the oil. The first layer of oil often has the stinky smell of stinky mandarin fish, which is more irritating to the nose, and it does not taste so good. Only the second layer of new oil can solve this problem.
"Stinky mandarin fish?" Miss Hemei was a little interested. She was wondering what kind of dish Heath would serve her, but she didn't expect that he would serve her a stinky mandarin fish? And it really smelled very stinky, like the smell of food that has been left for a long time. This made Hemei hesitate a little. Is it really okay to eat such rotten food?
Heath ignored the entangled Miss Hemei. After putting the stinky mandarin fish in, he went back to the kitchen and started to organize his kitchen utensils. A qualified chef always needs to learn to avoid the problem of food contamination. It's like if you don't wash the pot for Sichuan twice-cooked pork and then use stir-fried cabbage, then the diners will definitely taste the flavor of the twice-cooked pork, so this is not so good.
Of course, the cross-flavoring effect can sometimes play a strange role, so it can be said to be both good and bad. However, as for stinky mandarin fish, it naturally needs to be handled properly. Heath even cleaned Dialga's seasoning jar to prevent the ingredients put in next time from being contaminated by the smell of stinky mandarin fish.
"Stinky egg sauce." Heath scratched his head. This question was a little difficult, or rather, very difficult. After all, Heath had never made any stinky egg sauce. Heath had only heard of it, and there was naturally no such special food as stinky egg sauce in this world. So this meant that Heath needed to find a way to research the method of making stinky egg sauce by himself.
Although the name is stinky egg sauce, Heath feels that although the name is stinky egg sauce, it is definitely different from the rotten eggs that Heath understands. After all, that kind of rotten eggs has reached the point where it is impossible to eat without diarrhea. Eating that kind of eggs is simply a torture to one's stomach. Even the third brother who liked to drink the Ganges water in his previous life probably cannot accept the baptism of rotten eggs.
So this stinky egg is probably similar to the stinky mandarin fish. It smells very stinky, but is not actually rotten. Only the stinky egg sauce made in this way is edible. And if you want to make sauce with stinky eggs, raw eggs will not work. In other words, the stinky eggs need to be cooked, and then made stinky when they are cooked. Heath thinks that a lot of salt may need to be added. This is the same as pickling meat. A lot of salt is needed to ensure that the pickled meat does not have any peculiar smell, otherwise it will become stinky if it is left for too long.
Heath had eaten ham in his previous life, and the way it was cooked was very unique. In Heath's mind, ham can be divided into two categories, one is the Jinhua ham which is famous in China, and the other is the Xuanwei ham which is very famous in Yunnan Province. The hams from these two places have their own characteristics, but Heath still prefers Xuanwei ham.
The ham is also raw, but after cutting it, you can smell a very strong aroma, which is fragrant and not salty. Only this kind of ham is good ham , and other hams are a little bit worse.
"Stinky eggs..." Heath scratched his head. He didn't have any better idea, nor any recipes. He could only rely on his long experience as a chef to judge how to make stinky egg sauce.
Of course, the first step is to make stinky eggs. If you can't make stinky eggs, let alone make stinky egg sauce. Even if you really make stinky egg sauce, how to make the guests like it is also a difficult problem. After all, the stinky smell of eggs is unique.
Heath looked up and saw Miss Hemei eating the stinky mandarin fish she made with big mouthfuls. She wiped her sweat while eating. The sweat soaked Miss Hemei's hair and clothes. Heath couldn't help but smile. It seemed that stinky mandarin fish should meet Miss Hemei's definition of delicacy.
Just when Heath took out a few eggs and put them into Dialga's pressure cooker, the door of Heath's dining car was pushed open, and then Dialga walked in with a dark face and stood opposite Heath in a menacing manner.
