Chapter 605(1/2)
Try oyster omelette again (please vote)
After eating it in one bite, the dry and crunchy feeling burst out in my mouth. Moreover, I found that this version of oysters is a little more flavorful than the one I just made. Although it lacks some of the original flavor, it has more flavor.
Got some dry aroma.
As for the sauce, Chen Nian directly used the Gaota brand Gaozi chili sauce. Although Xiao Huang also has another Tanglong brand Qingsongle sweet and spicy sauce, Chen Nian also has a Quanzhou recipe, so he plans to wait a little longer.
Use that.
Paired with hot sauce, you can't stop eating it!
This chili sauce looks a bit like ketchup, but it actually tastes sweet. For Chen Nian, a Sichuan native, the spiciness is basically negligible, but even if it is not spicy, the peppery taste is.
It's still very obvious.
Because ginger, garlic and garlic sprouts are added to it, it tastes particularly fragrant and has a completely different feeling.
"It's really good! It's really good!" Chen Nian was extremely satisfied.
"Don't you want to go to Fujian again from now on? Besides, the air there is good, and you can see the sea." Chen Nian silently listed Fujian as one of his destinations for future travels.
It seems like there are still many places I want to go to in the future. Sure enough, I still have to make money to buy an RV and eat wherever I go.
While thinking about it in his mind, Chen Nian also finished the portion of oyster omelette.
Next, Chen Nian plans to make a small portion of pan-fried oyster omelette.
Pan-frying means not making it into a round shape. This is also more common in Fujian, and it is also a more common method.
The basic ingredients are similar to the previous one, except that after adding them to the pot, they don’t spread them out into a pancake shape. When beating the eggs, they don’t beat them in along the edges. Instead, they scoop out the scattered oysters in the middle.
Make a hole and pour the eggs into it, then fry.
Although it is not a whole, in this way, whether it is oysters or eggs, the heated area is larger and the smell will be more fragrant.
It feels good to pair it with some wine when you eat it like this.
So I put the rice wine in hot water.
When the oyster omelette was cooked and the rice wine was almost hot, Chen Nian poured himself a glass of rice wine and held it with chopsticks while drinking.
"Oh, this is how life should be lived."
I feel extremely enjoying the aging at this moment.
However, when eating it, I felt that although this dish is delicious to me, although it is also popular in FJ Province, Taiwan Province and other regions, some northerners or people who don’t like oysters may be quite uncomfortable with it.
adapt.
After all, sometimes when an oyster is eaten into his mouth, it doesn't feel like it's fully cooked.
I feel it's quite fresh, but that doesn't mean others will like the taste.
"Forget it, I'm the one eating it now anyway, and the most important thing is that I'm happy!"
It didn't take long for Chen Nian to finish another plate.
I drank two glasses of rice wine together. Fortunately, the aged wine was quite good. After these two glasses of wine, I just felt a little bit, not that much.
It's the kind of state that just makes people feel refreshed.
But Chen Nian originally felt good while sitting, but as soon as he stood up, he felt full in his stomach.
"Isn't that right, sir? I haven't finished practicing yet, why am I full now?"
"It's too disappointing, isn't it usually quite edible?"
"Is it okay? Thin dog?"
Chen Nian looked at his belly with hatred, why was he so full now? He had just eaten three servings of oyster omelette!
But in this case, I can't eat it even if I make another serving, so I have no choice but to put it away tomorrow.
After thinking about it, I will try the ones in Zhangzhou, Fuzhou and Xiamen tomorrow night, I guess it will be about the same.
If he had known that this was going to be the case, Chen Nian would have called Tonio and Lucas over. The two of them were quite good at eating, and they could probably eat snacks like oyster omelette.
There is no other way, Chen Nian can only clean up the kitchen today.
After three attempts today, Chen Nian found that in Fujian and Taiwan, egg liquid is basically used to make oyster omelette.
That means the side dishes added may be a little different.
But overall the taste is almost the same, but apart from the oyster omelette tonight, Chen Nian found that the bottle of chili sauce at Xiao Huang was quite good.
Although the taste is different from Sichuan spicy pepper sauce or Laoganma's chili sauce, it still has its own unique flavor.
"After I get back, I will take a look online and buy some. I think it would be pretty good to eat it with steamed buns, or mixed with noodles."
I just don’t know if these two brands can be opened more than a hundred years later.
Thinking about this, Chen Nian returned to the room and turned on the light, leaned on the bed, took out the book, and read the contents word for word under the slightly dim light.
From time to time I take notes in the small notebook next to me.
When I encounter a word that I don't understand, I write it down in another small notebook and ask Dylan about it tomorrow.
The book Chen Nian read this time was called "The Origin of Art". The author was Grosset, a 19th-century art historian and sociologist. The version Chen Nian read was translated into English.
In fact, these books are not obviously helpful for cooking, but they are quite interesting to read as they age. Many of these works about art are based on the social conditions of the time.
For example, this book "The Origin of Art" is about the process from the earliest primitive society, from plant-based decoration to the use of animal skins and bones as decorations.
Looking at it, I felt sleepy, so I put the book aside, turned out the light, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Chen Nian had another dream yesterday. He dreamed that he was back in primitive society, with no clothes to wear, only a grass skirt around his waist.
But seeing how everyone is dressed like this, Chen Nian feels relieved.
But after searching around again, he was relieved again when he saw that Hongdou had not followed him back to primitive society.
So next Chen Nian went out to hunt with everyone, came back to plant, and then relied on his rich knowledge, scientific training methods, and various methods of setting traps to become the leader of his tribe, and finally led his tribe
The tribe continues to grow bigger and stronger.
There are even preservatives that are now available, which greatly improve the storage time of food.
But when he was out hunting, he and his tribe suddenly realized that they were surrounded by a pack of wolves. There were hundreds of them, and Chen Nian didn't even know where they came from.
But just when he was about to die, the boat bumped slightly, and Chen Nian suddenly woke up.
"Okay, okay, fortunately I woke up, otherwise I would have been eaten by a wolf." Chen Nian suddenly sat up and patted his chest, feeling a little scared.
But while he was washing, he suddenly thought of a question. He had traveled back to primitive society, so why wasn't gunpowder made?
"What a mistake!" Chen Nian couldn't help but feel regretful, "The next time I have this dream, I will definitely develop technology!"
After wiping his hair with a towel, Chen Nian returned to the dormitory and changed his clothes. He put in the notebook where he recorded the words he didn't know last night and planned to go to work.
There was still nothing to say about the work during the day, but when it came to the lunch break, Chen Nian planned to go to Tonio and ask him to come and have something to eat together in the evening and have two drinks together.
After finding Tonio, Tonio said that he was not free today and that he wanted to learn a new dish from his teacher. He said that Gio knew that Chen Nian was practicing new dishes every day, and even got a very high score from Mr. Huo.
evaluation.
This made him feel competitive. Although his apprentice was still much worse than Chen Nian, if he taught him carefully, maybe one day in the future, Tonio could grow into a chef who was not inferior to Chen Nian.
, after all, hard work is also an important part of success.
If you are not as talented as others and don't work hard, then you are destined to fall behind others.
And through Gio's observations during this period, he felt that Tonio was actually quite talented in cooking.
Unable to make an appointment with Tonio, Chen Nian had to turn around and look for Lucas.
Lucas said he had nothing to do tonight and agreed immediately.
At the agreed time in the evening, Lucas came to the kitchen, and Chen Nian had already prepared a meal.
Because Chen Nian ate three servings by himself yesterday, today Chen Nian plans to make the same version that he made yesterday. It will be easy for two people to eat six servings.
"You're here just in time, sit down quickly, let's take half each." Chen Nian quickly opened the stool for the other party to sit down, and then kept half of the oyster omelette cut in half for himself, and put the other half in front of Lucas.
He gave the other party a pair of knives and forks.
"What is this? It looks a bit like pancakes..." Lucas didn't recognize this kind of food, but it still smelled delicious, so he asked curiously.
"This is called oyster omelette. It is a specialty snack from the Fujian region of our country. It is made of oysters." When Chen Nian said it, he also thought about how to say oysters in English.
Of course he thought about it and it seemed like they called oysters oysters.
"By the way, have you ever read Maupassant's short stories? One of them is called My Uncle Jules?"
Lucas thought for a while: "I think I've seen it before. Is it that when he was young, Yule spent a lot of money and lost his life and money. He was regarded as a gangster. Later, he was kicked out. He made a fortune in America and often gave them money.
Writing letters, so that their family was very looking forward to Yule's return, and finally
Just when one of his sisters found a fiancé, when their family traveled abroad, they met an oyster seller who looked exactly like Yule, but was very poor. In the end, when they returned, they quietly changed to
There is another ship, are you afraid of encountering Yule?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Chen Nian nodded repeatedly.
"I didn't expect you had even read this. I remember this was first published in the Journal de Gaulois. The story was very ironic, so I probably remember some of it."
