Of course, Li Xiao has acquired a lot of skills in cooking.
There is no need to use the method that only newbies use, just flick your wrist from left to right.
The small yellow croakers in the pan are driven by inertia and rotate together.
Very good, the fish skin is not damaged at all, and the fish meat is not stuck to the pan.
Taking advantage of the inertia, Li Xiao rolled his wrist back and forth, and the little yellow croaker was turned over.
While the little yellow croaker was still heating itself, Li Xiao took the unpacked rice cake and rinsed it in water.
Because the quality of this rice cake is worse than expected. There are a lot of broken rice cakes on it. If these broken rice cakes melt in the juice during cooking.
This will make the juice thicken quickly and may even turn into a lump in the end.
It's like adding a lot of starch, which makes this dish fall short.
Li Xiao explained to the camera
"Packaged rice cakes are dried in order to extend their storage time."
"So before we use it, we must remember to put the rice cake in water so that the rice cake can absorb enough moisture."
Li Xiao felt a little regretful. If he had known it earlier, he would have made some rice cakes last night and put them in the refrigerator before using them today.
It's all my fault for being greedy for convenience. This habit of being indolent and indolent is a must.
After reminding himself, Li Xiao checked the situation of Liang Guobao again.
The soup base of the abalone juice has turned light brown. In the tumbling soup, Li Xiao can already see that a lot of meat has begun to become crispy and rotten.
Turn down the heat a little, maybe after he finishes eating, he can turn off the heat.
The abalone in the other stainless steel pot looked about the same. Li Xiao scooped up one of the abalones with a spoon.
Pick up a toothpick and poke it in gently. Although the toothpick can be poked in, it feels a little hard.
Li Xiao quickly turned off the fire on the abalone side. Although the abalone was not cooked until soft, it had completed the first step. Now turn off the fire and rely on the remaining heat in the pot to suffocate the abalone.
Because there is a second step in cooking abalone, which is to add the stock and continue cooking, so that the flavor of the stock can completely penetrate into the abalone.
You know, the taste of abalone itself is very light.
The taste of an abalone depends entirely on the abalone juice.
A pot of good abalone juice is sometimes even more outstanding than a good abalone.
Turn off the heat, throw the abalone out of the pot back into the pot, and close the lid.
Returning to the stove next to it, the little yellow croaker above also completed its own redemption and sublimation, from a dead little yellow croaker to a two-sided golden little yellow croaker.
The fish skin, which had turned dull due to death, once again regained its former glory and turned into a dazzling golden color.
Li Xiao took a gentle breath, yes, it was a really good fish, and the fish smell was fragrant.
He praised
"This little yellow croaker! As long as you can cook it, it can rival the big yellow croaker."
Of course, this is just a metaphor. If there was a large yellow croaker, Li Xiao would probably choose the large yellow croaker.
Just like many people say that only those with average looks and figures are suitable as wives, but in fact they just cannot get those ladies with hot figures and beautiful facial features.
However, self-comfort is also useful, at least you don’t have to feel sorry for yourself.
Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Li Xiao continued to explain the method
"After frying the small yellow croaker, use kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil. The oil from repeated frying is not good for your health."
"This is also the reason why many people get angry and get acne after eating takeaway."

"The washed rice cakes have been drained of water and put aside for later use."
"We clean the pan and pour a small amount of oil again. Remember there must not be too much oil."
"When the oil temperature reaches 50% heat...50% heat is..."
Li Xiao quickly took the wooden chopsticks and put them into the oil.
Small bubbles kept popping up from the wooden chopsticks in the oil. Li Xiao looked at the clear focus and couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.
"Thank you again for the camera, it's very easy to use. You can see, the wooden chopsticks make small bubbles, and the small bubbles are not dense but the oil temperature is 50%. The temperature will not be too high. It should be kept at about 150 degrees."
"At this time, we add sliced ginger and garlic, which can also remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma."
"When the garlic slices turn slightly yellow, we can put the small yellow croaker in."
No spatula was used, and the pan was gently tossed twice.
To make the aroma of garlic and ginger more even, Li Xiao picked up the hot water kettle next to her and poured hot water into the pot.
Li Xiao explained to the camera
"If there is hot water, pour it in as much as possible, because the firepower of the stove in the home kitchen is too small. Heating the cold water will waste a lot of time, which will cause the cooking time to be too long and the fish will become old."
"There shouldn't be too much water, so that it can completely cover the back of the fish. Add a little more, which is about the thickness of a fingernail, and that's enough."
"Then, we pour in a small amount of cooking wine, light soy sauce, salt, and my favorite sugar!"
"In addition, we just bought Lee Kum Kee's Jiuzhuang oyster sauce today. We can add a little bit of it to increase the flavor and umami."
[Relevant companies, please reward some publicity fees after seeing this promotion, thank you.]
After finishing all the work, Li Xiao put the lid on the pot and said to the camera.
"Because hot water is added, the pot is boiled directly. We turn down the heat and simmer for a while. This can make the small yellow croaker more flavorful."
After it was done, Li Xiao finally had time to sit down and take a rest.
I feel the soreness coming from my waist. Oops, I am still single, but my waist and back hurt. Is this a sign of premature aging?
No, no, I have to go to the live broadcast room when I have time and ask which fitness lady near Hangzhou is better, no, no.
Which gym has better equipment and personal trainers? Of course, if the personal trainer is a young lady, there is nothing you can do about it.
For his own health, even if the personal trainer was a young lady, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
Now that I have some money, I can’t save money on protecting my health. I have to work hard to keep fit and maintain a good physical condition.
Hey, wait a minute, when Li Xiao was thinking wildly, he saw the time on his phone, oh, my dear, it's past eight o'clock, is it so late for overtime work in the company now?
The other two roommates in the apartment haven't come back yet. Life is really difficult.
After resting for a while and feeling that his waist was no longer sore, Li Xiao stood up again.
The water in the pan has been reduced by one-third.
Li Xiao glanced at the past time and then continued to explain
"Okay, about 7 minutes have passed now, but this time needs to be adapted accordingly."
"After all, the fire in everyone's home, the pot at home, the size of the fish, and the amount of water are all different."
"Anyway, it only takes about 7 minutes. The water has reduced by one-third and just covered the fish body. You can add the soaked rice cakes."
Put all the rice cakes in and cover the pot.
"Okay, it was 7 minutes just now, and now it's more than 7 minutes, and then you can start eating."
