Chapter 12 - Steamed Lobster with Garlic Vermicelli
“smell good…”
While Zhou was frying the crabs, Chen Xunyang, who had been playing with his younger brothers outside, followed the smell and came to the kitchen door.
“I really want to eat.” Chen Ouyang also swallowed his saliva, looking at Zhou Shi’s cauldron with the lid on, his face full of ‘want to eat, want to eat’ expression.
When Zhou shi heard the voice and turned around, he saw Chen Xunyang and his brothers all coveted, and couldn’t help but smile.
“I can’t eat it yet. I’ll give you a taste when it’s ready.” Zhou Shi said gently.
Although Zhou is a widow and a domineering woman, she still likes obedient children.
Hearing Mrs. Zhou say to give them a taste for a while, the boys of the Chen family couldn’t help but their eyes lit up, and said to Mrs. Zhou in unison, “Thank you, Grandma Su.”
When Zhou Shi was told this, he laughed even more happily. “Hehe, don’t thank you, this is your family’s food.”
Soon, the spicy swimming crab was ready, and the juice had been drained. The Zhou family asked Chen Lieyang and the others to find a large pot and put the spicy swimming crab in the pot.
“Come on, try one for each of you. If there’s anything bad about the taste, please let me know, and I will improve it in the future.” Mrs. Zhou smiled and gave Chen Lieyang and the others a piece of spicy crab. The spicy swimming crab was covered.
Chen Lieyang and the other five brothers each handed a piece of spicy swimming crab. Looking at the bright red color and the pungent aroma of chili pepper, they couldn’t help swallowing.
Chen Xunyang tasted the taste first, because they didn’t have eight pieces of crabs to dismantle the crabs now, so Chen Xunyang bit the crab shells with his teeth, and then ate the crab meat inside.
Moreover, the crab shells are stained with the taste of various spices, which makes it even more enjoyable to eat.
“Hmm…” Chen Xunyang felt that the smell of spicy crab filled his mouth for a while.
The spiciness of the peppers, the numbness of the Sichuan peppercorns, the fragrant star anise, and the taste of various ingredients made him feel a great appetite, and then the freshness of the crab meat.
The crab meat is fresh and sweet, and the crab meat wrapped in the crab shell does not have the taste of many ingredients, and it also has a little original taste of pure crab meat, which makes people unable to eat it again and again.
“Delicious.” Chen Xunyang quickly nibbled a crab leg, and then nibbled the crab meat from the crab’s body. He ate it with relish.
Qianwan Village is located in the south, which is further south in eastern Guangdong Province. Leizhou Peninsula is closer to Qiongnan Province. People don’t eat chili very much. Compared with people in Sichuan and Hunan, people in eastern Guangdong Province have better taste. Lighten up.
Just because Qianwan Village is a fishing village, everyone feels very humid when they live by the sea all the year round, so they eat **** and chili to keep out the cold.
However, everyone who eats chili is not as perverted as in the Sichuan and Hunan areas. Everyone eats a little spicy taste. Zhou’s will not cook too spicy dishes, and he will not put too much chili.
So Chen Xunyang and his children can still eat these spicy dishes, but even so, they still feel spicy and blushed.
Seeing that Chen Xunyang was eating with relish, Chen Lieyang and Chen Jiaoyang and Chen Ouyang also hurried to eat. When they ate it in their mouths, they all felt that the food they ate after being reborn was not eaten by humans.
Chen Chaoyang was still abiding by etiquette and didn’t want to eat outside the dining table, but he couldn’t help but be moved when he saw his brothers eating with relish.
Then Chen Chaoyang followed his brothers and was addicted to the taste of spicy swimming crab.
Zhou Shi looked at everyone eating happily, and she was also very happy. Although life is difficult, people who can live will always find all kinds of fun in life.
After preparing the spicy swimming crab, Zhou started to prepare lobster again.
“Lieyang, Chaoyang, you can help with the work.” Mrs. Zhou greeted Chen Lieyang and Chen Chaoyang with a smile.
“Okay.” Chen Lieyang and Chen Chaoyang were overwhelmed by Zhou’s craftsmanship, so they obediently listened to Zhou’s words and came to help.
“Come on, help with these lobsters.” The Zhou family asked Chen Lieyang and his brothers to help. Chen Lieyang and Chen Chaoyang helped with the lobsters, while Chen Xunyang and his two younger brothers planned to stay for a while and try the dishes.
So Chen Xunyang took Chen Jiaoyang and Chen Ouyang to sit in front of the stove, ready to watch the fire.
According to Zhou’s instructions, Chen Lieyang and Chen Chaoyang cleaned the lobster, and then cut off the head and body of the lobster.
After cutting off the body of the lobster, the body of the lobster is cut in half, and then the crab meat is slowly given to the slitting knife.
Chen Lieyang and Chen Chaoyang were handling the lobster, while Zhou was handling the minced garlic on the other side. Zhou Shi smashed the garlic, then chopped it, and chopped the garlic cloves into minced garlic.
Fans are soaked in warm water. In fact, most fans use cold water to soak them, but there is not so much time now. If you use warm water to soak, you can speed up the soaking time.
Zhou Shi boiled a little more water, put the vermicelli in it and blanched the water. After the vermicelli became soft, take it out and drain the water, pour in soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well to taste.
“Grandma Su is amazing.” Chen Xunyang and his younger brother sat lined up in front of the stove, watching the fire while watching Zhou’s handling of various ingredients, and couldn’t help sighing.
“Big brother and second brother are also very good.” Chen Jiaoyang looked at Chen Lieyang who was handling lobsters like swords and swords, watching him handle a lobster in just a few seconds, and watching that although he seemed to be slow, he was very Chen Chaoyang, who quickly dealt with a lobster, couldn’t help holding his face and sighed.
My eldest brother and second brother are really amazing, and he has such a powerful knife craftsmanship? I don’t know, I thought they were old chefs who have been working for decades, and the knife skills are so good.
Chen Lieyang: Back then, when I was training with guns and swords, I never thought that my kung fu would become a day for chefs.
Chen Chaoyang: The ancients said that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. However, it would be cruel for him to kill such a benevolent one day… However, the lobster meat is delicious.
Chen family members: …
No matter how rich Chen Lieyang and Chen Chaoyang’s inner drama is, Zhou’s side has already started to deal with the dishes.
Zhou Shi poured out the hot water that had just blanched the fans, then added a little oil to the pot to heat it, poured in minced garlic, added a little salt, and sautéed on low heat until fragrant.
After frying until fragrant, put the minced garlic on the lobster, and then put the lobster on the plate that has been covered with vermicelli.
Zhou’s is very fast, the portion of lobster is quite large, and there are quite a lot of people eating today, so Zhou’s steamed lobster with minced garlic vermicelli also has a lot of portion.
The Zhou family found another steamer, added water to the pot, and then let Chen Xunyang set the fire on high, put the large plate full of lobster with minced garlic vermicelli into the steamer, and steamed it in the pot.
The steamed lobster with minced garlic vermicelli takes ten minutes to steam. During this time, Mr. Zhou was busy cooking other dishes.
Zhou Shi killed the grouper and cleaned it up. The most important thing is to wash the black film in the fish’s stomach, otherwise it will affect the taste and it will be very fishy.
After the grouper was cleaned, Zhou Shi quickly spent a few knives on the fish, which was more convenient and delicious, and it was more convenient for the fish to be cooked thoroughly.
