Chapter 255 Bald Butter

Qi Han first brought the female crab in front of him and observed the cooked female crab.

Its crab claws are as bright red as flames, and are as big as Qi Han's two palms. When you look carefully, you can still see a cold light like a blade emerging from the blade of the claws.

Such a big crab claw looks like it can be eaten for a long time.

The crab legs are extremely slender. The crab legs, which are only one palm thick, are as long as Qi Han's forearm. They are divided into three sections.

With such slender and plump crab legs, there must be no less meat.

Thinking silently in his heart, Qi Han picked up the kitchen knife, cut off the eight crab legs and two crab claws neatly, and put them aside, leaving only the body of the female crab.

Then he deftly lifted the crab cover of the female crab, revealing the thick and attractive crab roe inside.

The moment he opened the crab cover, the strong smell of crab rushed straight into his nostrils, which lifted his whole body.

Even if it wasn't the first time I saw it, Qi Han still couldn't help swallowing when he opened the cover and saw the attractive and plump orange-red crab roe inside the washbasin-sized crab.

Just looking at the plump crab roe in front of my eyes gives me a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of my heart.

Suddenly, Qi Han felt the joy of cutting half a melon and eating it with a spoon.

Although the crab roe is not the same as the melon pulp, the crab roe in front of me...

It can really be eaten with a spoon.

However, Qi Han held back. After all, crab roe is the main ingredient of bald butter, so you can't steal it.

Thinking silently, the movements of Qi Han's hands were not slow at all.

After removing the crab hearts, gills, stomachs, and intestines with tweezers, scrape all the crab roe into a bowl with a small spoon.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Han put together the chest and abdomen of the female crab after removing the roe and the claws and legs, and then picked up the male crab and placed it in front of him.

In the same way, put all the crab paste of the male crab into a bowl, and then Qi Han began to tear apart the crab with the smell of crab filling the kitchen.

To disassemble crabs, the commonly used tool is eight pieces of crabs.

The eight crabs refer to the eight tools specially used to remove crabs: hammer, forging, pliers, shovel, spoon, fork, scraper, and needle.

But Qi Han doesn't need such a complicated tool, he only needs a small spatula.

For other tools, his kitchen knife can be substituted.

First, he picked up the crab claws that were the size of two palms, Qi Han swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and while his soul power was surging, he slapped the side of the crab claws with a knife, and slapped the crab claws skillfully. There are a few cracks.

Slowly remove the shell of the entire crab claw along the cracks, and a whole piece of crab claw meat that is complete, white and tender, with a light pink film on the surface, appears in Qi Han's hands like this.

After holding it in for so long, he couldn't help but chuckle, facing the plump and tender crab claw meat that could not be grasped with one hand, he took a bite and let the extremely tender and delicious crab claw meat fill his mouth. his entire mouth.

Life is complete.

Chewing with difficulty, his mouth was almost tender enough to drip water. The taste was extremely elastic, with a hint of sweet and fresh crab claw meat, and he felt extremely satisfied.

Soon a crab claw was eaten whole, and Qi Han felt a bit full.

The most advanced ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.

Even if this kind of crab is steamed directly with a few slices of ginger on the pan, it can bring a wonderful taste experience.

It's fine to eat one and enjoy it. Next, Qi Han did the same thing, removed the plump crab meat from the other three crab claws in the same way, and put them in a clean porcelain basin.

The crab claws are removed, and then the crab legs.

After cutting off the longest section of the three-sectioned crab leg, Qi Han slowly poked it into it with the remaining crab leg, and pushed the crab meat out of the crab leg very smoothly.

The two crabs had a total of sixteen legs, and after they were all removed, the crab meat in the porcelain basin was half full.

Only the crab meat in the crab body is left, that is, the white crab meat hidden in the two large raised parts under the crab gills.

Fold the crab body in half and divide it into two. Qi Han carefully scraped out the whole meat with a small spatula.

The structure of the crab body is like a beehive. There are small compartments inside, and each compartment is filled with complete crab meat. It takes care to dismantle it, but it will not take too much time.

After dismantling the crab bodies of the two crabs, the entire porcelain basin was almost full.

On the top of the porcelain basin is the removed crab body, while the crab legs and claws are covered underneath.

After removing the crab meat, Qi Han put the crab legs and crab cover into the pot together.

Turn on low heat in the pot, and slowly stir-fry the crab caps and crab legs until the crab oil comes out, then add sliced ​​ginger, and pour the oil until the crab caps and crab legs in the pot are covered.

Slowly simmer for one hour, then soak for about eight hours and then filter, you can get a pure crab oil with orange color and crab aroma.

Add the obtained crab sesame oil to the pot, then add crab roe and crab paste and stir-fry over low heat to bring out the umami, then add a little aged Huadiao to enhance the flavor, and finally add salt and pepper to taste, and you will get a perfect bald butter.

Even with the help of systematic black technology acceleration, this cumbersome process still took Qi Han a lot of time, until the bald butter was completely done, Qi Han was suddenly relieved.

The seductive fragrance of bald butter has both the deliciousness of crab roe and the richness of crab paste. The two are perfectly blended and slowly flow into Qi Han's mouth and nose. Scoop up a spoonful of bald butter and put it directly in your mouth.

As the rich and delicious taste of crab roe and the slightly delicate and mellow taste of crab paste slowly melted in Qi Han's mouth at the same time, he couldn't help closing his eyes, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

So delicious.

With two such huge crabs, it is naturally impossible to use up the bald butter made from one serving of jade dragon tendon, and it will be preserved later, and will continue to be used when cooking jade dragon tendon again.

"Meow~"

Gulu squatted on the partition and suddenly called out.

"Do you want to eat?" Seeing Gulu staring at the crab meat piled up in the porcelain basin, Qi Han slightly raised his eyebrows, then nodded, "Alright, you can eat this."

With Qi Han's permission, Gulu suddenly became excited.

Nimbly jumping onto the table, Gulu bowed his waist slightly, lowered his head and slowly ate the crab meat in the porcelain basin.

"Meow!"

Crab meat is so delicious!
(PS: After being reminded by book friends, the author knows that cats can only eat seafood in a small amount. Since it is not easy to change, I will not change it here, but please don’t believe it, and don’t eat crabs for cats.)
The crab stuffed orange that Qi Han made before, the crab used is also forbidden giant claw crab, but it is only a century-old existence. At that time, Gulu was very greedy when he saw the crabs he had never seen before.

Although he has never eaten it, Gulu is very interested in the meat of this big guy covered with hard shells and spikes, and has two huge pincers.

After watching Gulu Meimei tasting the crab meat for a while, Qi Han's eyes slowly returned to the various ingredients in front of him.

The cooking of the bald butter has been completed, and it is time to start the final step of the jade dragon tendon.

After adding two spoonfuls of bald butter to the broth, Qi Han slowly poured the sliced ​​dragon tendon into the pot, then covered the pot and simmered on low heat for about half an hour, so that the dragon tendon became soft instead of elastic.

Immediately afterwards, he reduced the soup to a slightly thicker point, and skillfully put it out of the pan.

Imperial dishes: Jade dragon tendon is complete.
