The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 357
"What is it this time?"
"Give the hairy crabs... super time?"
"Sure enough..."
Following the ratio of flour to eggs, Liu Subaru started to select live crabs again.
Different from picking eggs, everyone can see this time that Liu Subaru is picking hairy crabs in good shape and condition, including female crabs and male crabs.
Usually, when steaming crabs at home, the purchased live crabs are cleaned and steamed live in a pot so that the meat quality of the crabs will remain firm and the crabs are also fresh...
But in fact, from the perspective of "striving for perfection", steaming crabs like this is not scientific.
Because in the process of steaming, if the whole crab is put into the pot, the crab's gallbladder, crab gills, crab head and peach belly for excretion in the lower abdomen will increase the bitterness and fishy smell of crab meat.
So if you want to taste the most delicious crab meat, you can't be afraid of trouble.
It's like what Liu Subaru is doing now, first he slapped the crab out with his palm...
(Cough cough, children who can't slap dizziness with palm strength can consider chopsticks to cut their mouths.)
Then neatly follow the edge of the crab shell, open the crab shell, and buckle the gall bladder on the shell with a finger movement, and the crab gills on both sides of the crab body are also removed between the strokes of a knife...
After the selected crabs are all processed in the same way, the crab heads, the first crab legs and the excretion at the back of the crabs are cut off, and the two crab claws are cut separately, and the cracks are slightly patted.
After the treatment is completed, the crab body is also cut into four small pieces of "cross", then put into the pot at the same time as the crab shell and crab claws, and steamed with lotus leaf water.
What surprised several judges was that before each crab was put in the pot, a piece of talisman paper was pasted on the crab shell by Pleiades Liu, and then he made a gesture of pressing his palms together in prayer...
Luo Huaiyu and another authenticator who didn't even show his name obviously didn't know what Liu Subaru was doing, and Old Man Zhao recognized the famous "sacrifice".
As for Liu Kuishan and Lei An, they knew it a long time ago, and they were not surprised at this time!
That's right, whether you picked eggs before, or now "sacrifice", they are all improving the "source" of ingredients!
Originally, because of the correct slaughter method, the "source" of the crab did not lose much, and now it has returned to its peak state.
If you want to be good at your work, you must first sharpen your tools. Whether it is from the perspective of "material cooking" or "spiritual cooking", Pleiades Liu tries his best to adjust the ingredients to the best condition!
Of course, in this way, in the eyes of most people, Liu Subaru’s behavior is a "quirky" approach...
If it were before, this would not even be considered a "quirk". In the eyes of most people, it should be simply "pretending to be garlic"!
However, because Liu Subaru's "National Treasure Master of Swordsman" was named, everyone also agreed to the conclusion that "Masters always have quirks."
Sometimes the difference between "pretending garlic" and "quirks" is only the name of the actor...
For example, the New Year of the Great God is even more a "quirk", and some Dong's New Year is short, T_T.
As for the top-quality plum meat in the fresh-keeping box, Liu Maoxing also selected them one by one. After that, he took out the iron rods. On each piece of plum meat, they were rolled and punched again, as if they were massaging the plum meat...
Plum meat, which is part of the upper shoulder blade of pork, usually only weighs about five catties per pig. Although it is only one word difference from pork belly, the meat quality of the two pork is just the opposite!
Pork belly is the abdomen of pigs, which presents fat and lean parts. It is one of the least active parts of pigs, while plum meat is one of the most active parts.
Therefore, unlike the fat-to-lean ratio of pork belly, which is between 37 and 46, the fat of plum pork is only 10-20%...
But this is also the place where the certifiers are more confused, that is, if you make dumplings, the fat and thin of the meat should be between 46 and 37. In other words, using pork belly is the best choice. For pure meat filling, The lean meat ratio can be larger, but the lean meat ratio of plum meat is too big!
, , ...
Gradually, on Liu Subaru's side, the original "massage" movement became larger and larger, and finally it even became a fine hammering!
In the end, Liu Subaru seemed to be playing a fast drum, frantically hammering the plum meat in front of him, and finally used two steel bars to hammer a few pieces of plum meat into meat!
"This Pleiades Liu... is that his apprentice?" Old Man Zhao said coldly.
The crabs were almost steamed at this time. As soon as Liu Maoxing's nose moved, he seized the opportunity to take out all the crab pieces, and used the smallest carving knife and the small tongs used when eating snails. Within a few minutes, The crab meat and crab yellow were removed separately.
After the crab meat is chopped, it is stir-fried in the seasoning sauce and oil. The crab roe is directly marinated with the seasoning juice prepared before the crabs are packed.
There are also some "crab yellows", which were kept by Pleiades Liu alone, and then they were also fried...
In a blink of an eye, three hours have passed since the review, and Liu Subaru's filling "seems" to be ready.
The reason for saying "it seems" is because Liu Subaru has already prepared the steamer, and he is standing in front of the iron plate on the cooking table, looking like he is just waiting for the iron plate to heat up. It seems that he is ready.
But...there are still two kinds of fillings, there is no mixing at all!
Let alone dumpling wrappers, there is no "noodles" now, only a small amount of wheat flour is added to the eggs, and then the "egg batter" is stirred!
And standing in front of the teppanyaki is very strange in itself... The title now is "dumplings", not teppanyaki!
In short, whether it is the certified teachers, the relatives and friends off the court, or the audience in the second field, they don't know what he is going to do...
It doesn’t look like making dumplings anyway!
Pleiades Liu put his hand on the iron plate and felt the temperature of the iron plate increase. Just after reaching a certain level, Pleiades Liu quickly applied oil again, and then...
Da da da……
I saw Liu Subaru using a small iron spoon, stirring constantly in the egg batter, and then watching the timing after the oil was hot, the spoon flicked on the iron plate, shaking in the air, several pieces were completely round. The shape, and each piece is a thin layer of egg batter, spread on the iron plate!
During the subsequent breathing time, Liu Subaru's hands have been replaced with special tools. It looks like they are about two centimeters of iron "fake nails" on the index and middle fingers of both hands?
Speaking of which, when Liu Subaru was waiting for the ingredients, he used the standard iron kitchen knife that was originally prepared on the cooking table to break it!
Using kitchenware to make kitchenware, of course, can’t be considered as deliberate destruction of kitchenware...
After wearing the "fake nails", Liu Subaru's four fingers flew in succession, and some solidified pancakes under the heating of the iron plate were folded one by one from a circle to a triangle, and then turned over. !
Such a dexterous and delicate operation was completed in an instant...
Liu Subaru once again proved the dexterity of his "Eagle Hand" in front of everyone.
And Luo Huaiyu was surprised at this time: "What? It's not just egg dumplings? Triangular... He still wants to make Mianding dumplings?"
Yes, just before, Luo Huaiyu just speculated that Liu Subaru was making "egg dumplings."
It is a kind of "egg dumplings" that use eggs to make the crust, which is very difficult and easy to make, not like dumplings, but turned into omelets!
Even so, she didn't understand why two kinds of fillings were used, let alone why flour was added, but at least she probably guessed it was "dumplings" like "egg dumplings".
However, after Liu Maoxing used the "Eagle's Hand" to fold the "egg skin" into a triangle, Luo Huaiyu was completely shocked.
Triangular dumpling skin... This feature is obvious!
Mianding dumplings, or "guanding dumplings", are wrapped in triangle-shaped dumpling skins.
Mianding dumplings are more difficult than ordinary dumplings because they need three sides and three-dimensional packaging, but they have a different taste...
After special practice, making "Mianding dumplings" is not a special skill, but when combined with egg dumplings, the meaning is completely different!
The most difficult part of "egg dumplings" lies in heating the egg skins while using a spatula to complete the "wrapping" process, whether it is the mastery of the degree of rawness of the egg skins, or the force when turning and pressing. High demands.
The egg dumplings are not like ordinary dumplings, which need to be squeezed, but to make the half-boiled eggs stick together after being folded, but...
How to make "Mianding dumplings" with egg skins?This is not a problem that can be solved with a single look!
However, in Liu Subaru's view, this is obviously not a problem. After making a few pancakes, Liu Subaru also uses four iron fingers to quickly put a piece of "meat filling" on the smooth surface of the egg crust, and then four fingers. Under the linkage, the sides with the folded edges are turned up one by one, showing the shape of a "pyramid", and at a speed that is difficult to discern with the naked eye, the "false nails" of the index and middle fingers of both hands collide with each other to merge the edges. Pinch it up.
Luo Huaiyu finally understood why a small amount of flour should be added to the egg liquid instead of using pure eggs. It turned out that it was not that he had no confidence in his "egg dumpling" technique, but that he had to perform this kind of meticulous kneading!
After the meat and egg dumplings are completed, you can see that there is still a small opening left unsealed, and at this time, the round crab fillings are placed on top one by one.
The shaped "Mianding egg dumplings" were put into the steamer by Liu Maoxing one by one. Like ordinary egg dumplings, it is impossible for the meat to be cooked in such a short period of time, so we need to steam it again...
Pleiades Liu repeated these steps over and over again, but no matter how many times he watched it, no matter how many times he watched it, no matter how many times he watched it, no matter how many times he watched it, whether it was a bystander or a certifier, he always had a speechless expression...
