After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 383 Eyebrows Falling

Shen Zhaonian and Zhou were enjoying the delicious ginger and scallion chicken. Shen Kesi couldn't help but sigh, "This steamed yellow jiaoli with oil and salt is delicious."

Different from the steamed fish we usually eat, this dish of steamed yellow croaker with oil and salt is not topped with soy sauce.

Instead, place a few small dishes of dipping sauce on the side so that you can dip the fish in it if it tastes bland.

The fish meat is tender and smooth, and when dipped in the special dipping sauce, it is so delicious that it will make your eyebrows fall off.

Shen Huazheng also picked up a piece of fish, dipped it in the soy sauce in the dish, and put it into her mouth.

The yellow-legged fish was sent over as a New Year gift from Mianzhou County. The characteristics of this fish are that it is rich in fat, has tender meat, and exudes a unique fragrance.

The method of steaming with oil and salt can restore the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent.

In order to make this dish of steamed yellow croaker with oil and salt, Shen Huazheng specially "slimmed them down" for a few days.

The success or failure of this dish depends on two things: the freshness of the fish and the cooking time.

When steaming fish, use high heat and utilize sufficient steam to cook the fish in the shortest possible time.

But the heat must be controlled well. If it is not steamed enough, the fish will have a fishy smell.

If it is steamed too long, the meat will become tough and will not taste as tender.

If after you finish eating the fish, you can see a trace of uncoagulated blood between the bones, it is a sign that the fish is cooked to perfection.

Shen Huazheng chewed the fish in her mouth. It was so delicious that she squinted her eyes slightly. The cooking was just right.

Because tangerine peel is added during the cooking process, the sweet taste of the fish is more prominent, while also bringing a hint of tangerine peel’s unique sweetness and mellowness.

If you savor it carefully, the freshness from the ocean is released little by little, interweaving with the refreshing fruity aroma.

The sweet and mellow taste seeps into the tip of your tongue little by little, slowly turning into a light and poetic delicious taste.

It creates a unique and pleasant taste experience that is unforgettable.

Shen Keting: "The fish meat is fresh, tender and smooth, with a fruity aroma. It is really delicious."

After hearing what his sons said, Shen Zhaonian also picked up a piece of fish and tasted it carefully.

He felt the ultimate deliciousness between his lips and teeth: "Zheng'er, what's added to this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Shen Huazheng swallowed the fish meat in his mouth and said with a smile: "Dad, although this steamed yellow jiaoli with oil and salt doesn't have soy sauce, I have already marinated it with oil, salt and tangerine peel in advance."

She paused and added, "Before pickling, the fish was soaked in hawthorn water."

Before cooking, some preparation is required.

Shen Huazheng first added green onions to the hawthorn water, and then put the cleaned fish meat in to soak to remove the fishy smell.

Then add appropriate amount of salt and peanut oil in a bowl, and add some dried tangerine peel to make the marinade.

In order to make the fish taste more fragrant, Shen Huazheng added raw peanut oil instead of cooked peanut oil.

After steaming in this way, the aroma of the fish will be more intense.

Wipe the moisture off the fish, then apply the marinade evenly all over the inside and outside of the fish, then put it into the pot to steam.

When steaming fish, use chopsticks to hold up the fish body to ensure that it can be steamed evenly from top to bottom.

After serving, drizzle with hot chicken oil to enhance the flavor.

It is the addition of tangerine peel, peanut oil and chicken oil that makes the fish in this dish more fresh and fatter.

Shen Ke Ting nodded: "I see, no wonder I tasted the fruity aroma."

No wonder when eating fish, I always feel that the meat seems to have a faint hawthorn flavor and a fresh citrus aroma.

Zhou also ate a piece of fish: "This soy sauce is different from ordinary soy sauce. It tastes much better. Dipping the fish in this makes the fish tender and sweet. It's really first-rate."

Shen Keting: "Indeed, although the fish is delicious, there is still a difference between eating it with the dipping sauce and without it."

He also tried a piece of fish without soy sauce, but it tasted completely different.

It tastes better with soy sauce.

The specially made soy sauce is salty and fresh, which can bring out the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent and make it taste more sweet and pleasant.

After swallowing, the fragrance still lingers on your teeth, and the delicious taste lasts for a long time.

Shen Huazheng was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her parents and brother had such good tastes.

"Mom, you are really amazing. This soy sauce also contains the thick sauce made from crucian carp cooked over a slow fire."

Zhou smiled and said, "My daughter is really good. How can I be so good as her?"

Even if she could taste the difference in the soy sauce, wasn't it because of her daughter's superb cooking skills?

If we really have to talk about someone who is really capable, it should be Zheng'er.
