Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 228 Peony

Qin Lang, who had returned to the hotel, was completely unaware of the unusual events that occurred on the pier.

At this moment, he had just received the ingredients needed for the practice dishes, placed them one by one in front of the independent kitchen table, and started the preparation work before cooking.

"Gulu?"

What are we going to cook?

After careful observation, he determined that the fish used this time was one that had not been used before. Danbao couldn't help but curiously asked.

"This time..." Qin Lang knocked the still alive grass carp unconscious and put it on the chopping board, "The dish we are going to make this time is called peony fillet."

Use fish ingredients to cook flower-related dishes. After hearing the test request, this was the first dish that popped into his mind.

Only peonies are the true national beauty, and they move the capital when they bloom.

The dish of peony fish fillet completely meets Ms. Tang Mi’s requirements.

However, cooking this dish is not that easy.

As a classic non-spicy Sichuan dish at the state banquet, peony fish fillet is a dish that is easy to overturn.

Peony fillets? !

Dan Bao and La La's eyes quickly lit up.

Naturally, the two little ones don’t understand how difficult it is to cook this dish.

But they know that this is a new dish.

What a blessing!

"Then let's start now?" Qin Lang smiled and suddenly remembered something, "The peony fish fillet is a very pretty dish. We can record a new food video by the way."

The two little ones nodded in unison. Having already tasted the benefits of eating and broadcasting, they naturally had no objection to this.

Soon, Qin Lang's cooking officially began.

Remove the head from the grass carp and cut the body into two parts along both sides of the spine. After deftly removing the bones and skin, Qin Lang placed the two separated pieces of fish meat, one on the cutting board and the other aside.

Next, it’s time to show off your knife skills.

As Qin Lang moved the knife like flying, the diagonal knife quickly cut into the fish meat, and a large piece of fish meat was quickly cut into wide and thin fillets. The slices were crystal clear and had a somewhat translucent texture under the light.

The two little ones had seen Qin Lang's knife skills countless times, but when they saw it again, they could not help but have a look of pride on their faces.

This is my own Yuling Chef!

Even as food spirits, they can never see his limit!

Soon, under the eyes of the two little ones, a whole piece of fish meat was sliced ​​into fillets with a thickness of only three millimeters, followed by the second piece.

A good-quality large grass carp can easily exceed sixty centimeters in length. Excluding the length of the head and tail, the fillet of half the fish can easily exceed a hundred pieces, and a whole fish can easily exceed two hundred pieces.

Such a large number of fish fillets is enough to make four large peonies arranged with seven to eight petals.

Place the filleted fish fillets in ice salt water, add onion and ginger cooking wine to soak and marinate.

The function of this step is not only to remove the fishy smell, but also to make the fish shrink when it is cold, increase its elasticity, and prepare for the subsequent cooking steps.

And the waiting time it requires is...more than an hour.

"La La, I leave it to you." Qin Lang looked at La La, who was eager to try, "Accelerate with all your strength!"

"Chaka!"

clear!

There was a hint of excitement on Spicy's face. It took a deep breath, and then released invisible power from its body, covering the fish soaked in ice salt water, accelerating the process of marinating and processing the fish.

After being promoted to two stars, Lala uses all his strength to accelerate cooking, and the maximum duration of acceleration at one time is doubled to fifty minutes.

Coupled with the time required for the casting process and the time Qin Lang spent preparing for the subsequent steps, the fish fillets soon reached the required marinating time.

In order to make the marinated fish fillets crispier during the subsequent frying process, the surface needs to be coated with cornstarch, and then one of the two most tedious steps in the entire peony fillet cooking process - pounding.

Tap each starch-coated fish fillet one by one with a wooden stick. With just the right amount of force, the fish fillets become thinner and thinner, spreading out as if they were flattened.

Guided by intentional force, these extended fillets fan out and are finished with a slight trimming of the outline using kitchen scissors.

This step requires a lot of experience. Even Qin Lang had to knock out two or three slices before he could regain the original feeling of cooking this dish.

"Gulu!"

I'm coming too!

Seeing a complete fan-shaped fish fillet being born in Qin Lang's hands, Dan Bao showed an eager expression.

Doesn't it seem too difficult?

Maybe using the fluctuations of thoughts, I can do it myself?

"You can try it."

Qin Lang handed it a wooden stick and gave it an encouraging look.

He was asked to crack more than two hundred pieces of fish by himself. How long would it take?

It's different with Danbao's help. When multi-tasking, it can support several.

"Chaka!"

I want to come too!

Seeing that Dan Bao has a share, La La is not far behind.

The beating process involves the intervention of Yu Lingchu, so cooking cannot be accelerated.

But it can help knock it together!

Although it can't control the stick, it can hold it in its mouth!

"Okay, you both try."

Qin Lang leveled a bowl of water, took out another wooden stick and handed it to LaLa, and then began to slow down and show how to tap the fish fillets to spread them without breaking.

After a while, the two little ones got started.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

A series of dull knocks echoed in the kitchen.

Dan Bao's control over the fluctuations of thought had already reached a very delicate level. After the seventh failure, he finally perfectly knocked out a thin fan-shaped fish fillet.

Amid its cheers, the other side's spicy attempt ended in failure.

Holding a wooden stick in his mouth and striking, it was a bit difficult to control the force accurately.

It put down the stick in frustration and flew to Qin Lang's side for comfort.

"Each one has his or her own strengths." Qin Lang rubbed Lala's head, "There will be some ways for you to help later."

"Chaka!"

good!

LaLa's eyes lit up.

Are there any areas where cooking needs to be accelerated?

Its excitement only lasts for a moment.

As Danbao becomes more and more proficient, he is no longer satisfied with just knocking one piece, and gradually begins to try to knock two, three or even more pieces at the same time.

When Dan Bao could knock ten pieces at the same time, Qin Lang put down the stick with satisfaction.

What does it mean to free your hands! (tactical fallback.jpg)

With such powerful help, the beating process that originally took a long time was completed in just over an hour, and by the way, he helped Dan Bao train his combat skills.

"Kill two birds with one stone"

After picking out the ones that were knocked out, every remaining piece of fish has become a regular fan shape, like petals.

At this point, the cooking of the peony fish fillets is half done.

Next, comes another extremely tedious step in the cooking process of peony fish fillets - frying.

If you want the final product to show the delicacy of a peony flower, the step of frying and shaping is essential.

In order to fry the fish fillets into slightly curled petals, and even control the curvature of different layers of peony petals to have a better appearance, Qin Lang needed to——

Put it in the pot piece by piece.
