Chapter 744 Lifelike “Dragon Skin”
“Dragon scale... burden?”
Yang Shaoyue didn't understand, but she didn't care. Then she raised her finger to the empty iron pot and asked curiously: "Why don't you add water?"
“This is dry steaming.”
Hao Libao on the side explained to Li Yi: "Dry steaming means steaming without adding water. It is the same as smoking or sugar smoking, but without adding sugar or smoking materials, it is dry pot cooking.
In fact, the principle is the same as that of an oven, but Xiaoli is dry-steaming fish skin, and the heat needs to be controlled, so he uses a pot to steam, and the heat can be adjusted at any time. "
“Is that equivalent to drying it?”
Yang Shaoyue generally understood.
"almost."
Hao Libao nodded and stepped forward to help Li Yi clean up.
Soon, all the fish skins were put into the pot.
Li Yi stared at the stove, adjusting the flames on each stove from time to time.
Seeing Li Yi holding the gap in the pot lid with his hand and smelling the smell, Yang Shaoyue also curiously stepped forward and took a smell, but only smelled a fishy smell of dried seafood, which was a bit pungent and made her choke. He started coughing.
“This is so fishy!”
She stopped coughing and complained with a grimace.
“It definitely doesn’t smell good if it’s not taken care of properly.”
Li Yi smiled and joked: "Besides, I'm judging the heat, why are you joining in the fun?"
…”
Yang Shaoyue looked depressed, then turned around and ran to Liu Yifei's side, hugged her arm and complained: "Sister Yifei, Brother Yi said to me."
Liu Yifei smiled helplessly, then glanced at Li Yi and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
"good."
"good."
Li Yi and Liu Yifei responded at the same time.
Hearing Li Yi's voice, Yang Shao became more and more anxious. He stamped his feet and asked Liu Yifei, "Sister Yifei, who did you tell me?"
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and snickered, but she didn't answer.
Seeing Li Yi smiling slightly, Yang Shao became even more depressed.
“You just bully me! I won’t play with you anymore.”
After complaining, she turned around and ran behind Zhao Jinmai, who was cleaning astragalus. She hugged Zhao Jinmai's waist, rubbed her shoulders, and laughed: "Sister Maimai is the best, Tie Tie."
Zhao Jinmai raised his hands with a look of horror on his face, and his whole body tensed up.
！
Along with a wisp of smoke, a smell of slightly burnt protein wafted out of the first pot.
After smelling the smell, Li Yi turned off the fire decisively and opened the lid of the pot.
A burst of thick green smoke floated up, and then it quickly dissipated, revealing the dragon skin on the inner tray.
“Hiss!”
Hao Libao, who was behind Li Yi, saw the dragon skin in the pot clearly and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I saw pieces of dragon skin on the tray, which had been curled into a cylinder shape. Pieces of fish scales exploded and stood on top of the fish skin. They were densely packed and looked very eye-catching.
After seeing these dragon skins, Hao Libao finally understood why Li Yi just said they looked more impactful.
The dragon skin in this state is a bit too impactful!
The cameraman also came closer and took a close-up of the dragon's skin.
When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, the screen was filled with "!"
!!”
“Holy shit! What the **** is this?”
“Hiss! It makes me feel so uncomfortable! I have goosebumps all over my body!”
“Ah! Why don’t you remind me?”
"This is very similar to what my fish looks like after the scales are fried! But it's much more serious." "Oh my god! If this happened to me, I would just peel off my own skin! No lie!"
After smelling the smell of smoke, Yang Shaoyue also ran back curiously.
But after seeing the dragon skin in the pot, she couldn't help but screamed: "Yeah!"
Everyone in the kitchen was startled by her exclamation and looked over.
Yang Shaoyue stared at the dragon skin in the pot and backed away with a grimace: "Oh my god! What is this! It's too scary!"
When the other Rocket Girls saw this, they also ran over curiously.
They were also shocked when they saw the appearance of the dragon's skin.
“Emma! What is this? Why are you so scared?”
“It’s so scary, like the skin of a monster.”
Li Yi ignored their comments and quickly put the freshly cooked dragon skin into the ice water basin prepared nearby.
The scalding dragon skin was put into the ice water, and with a "sizzling" sound, the whole skin quickly softened.
Soaked them in ice water, soaked them for a while, and then started scrubbing them.
Under his scrubbing, the fish scales fell off easily, leaving only the fish skin full of pores underneath.
After dry steaming, the fish scales are expanded, and diamond-shaped scale holes are opened on the light black fish skin.
Soaked in ice water, the fish skin is instantly saturated with water, and the originally dry fibers are soaked and separated, forming fiber strands.
Looking at the dragon skin in Li Yi's hand, Hao Libao couldn't help but marvel in secret.
He has never seen what a real dragon skin looks like, but after seeing the dragon skin in Li Yi's hand, he has a feeling that the dragon skin should look like this!
Li Yi took the tweezers and carefully tore off the light black film on the surface of the fish skin.
This is the mucosal layer formed after the mucus on the surface of the fish skin is dried. It has a strong fishy smell and needs to be removed thoroughly so as not to affect the taste of the finished product.
Soon, Li Yi processed a piece of dragon skin and placed it on a tray aside.
After removing the scary scales and black membranes, the remaining dragon skin is white and flawless, still maintaining a cylindrical shape, and the scale holes on the top are still clear, but it is much more "delicate".
Although it still has a strong visual impact, it looks much better than the freshly fried fried scale dragon skin.
After seeing this piece of dragon skin, Yang Shaoyue dared to step forward again and look at it carefully.
"so hot!"
She looked at the scale holes on the dragon skin and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why do I feel that it is a real dragon skin?"
“It’s very similar!”
Wu Lei looked at it in amazement.
While Reba was holding his chin, after some serious examination, he came to a conclusion: "There are so many holes in it, it will definitely taste good after it is cooked."
Zhao Jinmai looked at it curiously, and then asked Li Yi excitedly: "Brother Yi, can you make one to try?"
“Forget it about this dish.”
Li Yi shook his head while handling it: "There is too little dragon skin, that's all, if you make one, you will lose one.
Besides, making just one portion is too troublesome and not cost-effective. It would be better to cook it together tomorrow and eat it together.
Besides, aren’t you all satisfied with the rolls? After eating too much, your sense of taste will become dull. "
Hearing what he said, Zhao Jinmai no longer insisted, but became more and more looking forward to tomorrow's banquet.
After watching the excitement, everyone went back to their respective places and continued their work.
Li Yize and Hao Libao worked together to get rid of all the dragon skins.
Placing the last piece of dragon skin on the tray, Hao Libao wiped his hands and looked at the lifelike pieces of "dragon skin" on the tray. He couldn't help but sigh secretly.
As the executive chef of the State Guesthouse, he has countless disciples and disciples, but this is the first time he has seen dragon skin cooked like this for dishes.
Sure enough, you have to live and learn, and the masters are among the people!
Looking back at the busy kitchen, he secretly made a decision.
Tomorrow he will bring a few more disciples here so that those boys can open their eyes and know what it means to have people outside the world and heaven outside the world.
