Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 266 Chopped Peppers

After bidding farewell to the others, Qi Han returned to the cold food alone.

"Meow~"

What greeted him was Gulu who refused to sleep because he never returned.

"Sorry for waiting so long."

Qi Han rubbed Gulu's chin familiarly, with a somewhat apologetic expression on his face.

According to the daily schedule of one person and one cat, the business closes at [-]:[-] pm, and they should be in bed before [-]:[-] pm.

After watching the Sea God Fate Conference, it is already ten o'clock.

Fortunately, the bed provided by Ruyi has enough black technology, even if she only sleeps for an hour, she can still be resurrected with full blood.

After washing, one person and one cat quickly fell asleep.

When Qi Han woke up again under Ruyi's call, it was already the next morning.

After comforting Gulu who was awakened by the movement of getting up, Qi Han flashed into the system space.

After an afternoon of practice yesterday, Qi Han has thoroughly familiarized himself with the characteristics of Hunan cuisine, and also gained a lot of experience in the practice of chopping pepper fish heads.

Not surprisingly, this dish should be finished this morning.

And accidents obviously don't happen.

When Qi Han walked out of the training space before opening at noon, he had already successfully mastered this fish head with chopped peppers.

Not only that, he also used the remaining time to start a new two-star recipe: squirrel mandarin fish.

These two fish must be neatly arranged!

Naturally, it is impossible to finish the squirrel mandarin fish in the rest of the morning, but if we work hard, there is hope that we can finish it before opening in the afternoon.

Of course, this is not what Qi Han is concerned about now. At this moment, all his attention is attracted by the fish head with chopped peppers.

Although he had already tasted it when he was successful in the training space, all the ingredients used in the training space were simulated. Although he could taste the taste, he lacked the feeling of fullness, so he lost his soul.

Qi Han has long been used to cooking in reality every time training is completed, a real treat.

The experience isn't complete until you actually eat it.

After helping Gulu prepare the cat meal, Qi Han walked into the kitchen, tidied up the stove, and prepared to start cooking fish head with chopped peppers.

Fish head with chopped pepper belongs to Hunan cuisine.

Any cuisine has its own unique method and soul. For example, in Sichuan cuisine, Yuxiang is a special flavor that other cuisines do not have.

The soul of Hunan cuisine lies in chopped peppers.

One side of water and soil supports one side of people, and most of Hunan Province is humid and rainy. Such climatic characteristics make Hunan Province rich in chili peppers. People are afraid that it’s not spicy.” This can be seen from the fact that people in Hunan Province are addicted to spicy food.

Not every Hunan dish is spicy, but there is no doubt that most of them are spicy.

Chopped peppers, also known as chopped peppers, are widely used in many Hunan dishes.

It is somewhat similar to bald butter.

This similarity does not refer to the ingredients or taste of the two, but the effect.

Chopped pepper itself is full of flavor and can be used to mix noodles or bibimbap, and it can also be used as a seasoning in various dishes.

In this dish of fish head with chopped pepper, it can be inferred from the name of the dish that chopped pepper is needed.

Therefore, when Qi Han cooks this dish, he starts with chopped peppers.

There are only two main ingredients used in conventional chopped peppers: threaded peppers and young ginger.

As a type of pepper with high spiciness, thread pepper is easy to identify. The body of the pepper is slender and thread-like. Compared with other peppers, thread pepper has a stronger pepper flavor and is most suitable for making chopped peppers.

If you can’t eat too spicy, you can also replace it with bell peppers. Its meat is thicker and its spiciness is slightly lower than that of thread peppers. Although the aroma of chopped peppers made with bell peppers will be slightly lighter, they look better in color.

If you can't eat the beauty pepper... Maybe you can try the two vitex?
Young ginger refers to the more tender ginger, also known as ginger buds.

When you cut a piece of ginger, you will find that there are a few thick tendons in the ginger slice. These tendons will make the taste of ginger more jerky, which is the so-called "older".

There is almost no gluten in young ginger, so compared with old ginger, young ginger will be more tender and crisp, and has a better taste. If you eat ginger directly, such as pickling ginger in vinegar, young ginger is the first choice.

And choosing young ginger has another advantage.

The so-called "ginger is still spicy when old", the spiciness of young ginger is much lower than that of old ginger. Among chopped peppers, ginger is mainly used as seasoning, and the spicy taste should be provided by the pepper itself as much as possible. If the spicy taste of ginger is too strong , On the contrary, it will feel overwhelming.

After preparing the two, Qi Han first put the peppers into a basin of water, washed them carefully, and then took them out to dry the moisture on the surface.

This step is particularly critical. If there is moisture on the surface, the chopped peppers are easy to rot.

The washed and dried peppers have a slight luster under the light.

The color of the surface of the pepper is very attractive red, faintly orange, and a little closer can smell the strong and slightly pungent spicy taste.

For Qi Han who has done chopping pepper fish heads countless times in the training space, this bit of spiciness can be ignored.

Because he knows that the spiciness emitted by the unpicked and uncut peppers is just a drop in the bucket.

After removing the dried peppers, Qi Han first took a deep breath, and then quickly cut the peppers into even small pieces.

As the peppers are cut open, a strong spicy smell instantly sweeps through the entire kitchen.

In just a split second, Qi Han felt his eye sockets turn red and his nose turn sour.

Boy, this smell is really big!

Gulu, who was squatting on the partition, was eating cat food deliciously, but suddenly his body froze, he sniffed lightly and let out a scream.

"Meow!"

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, I bid farewell to meow!
Immediately after it held its rice bowl in its mouth, a flash of mist appeared directly in the corner of the dining area farthest from the kitchen.

Seeing Gulu's miserable appearance, Qi Han smiled hoarsely, and then his soul power traveled through the meridians near the nose and eye sockets, slowly relieving the discomfort caused by the spicy stimulation.

Fortunately, I am already a soul master.

The role of soul power is not only to create powerful attack power, but as time has passed since becoming a soul master, Qi Han has also figured out a lot of small techniques for using soul power.

Cutting into sections is just the beginning. After cutting into sections, Qi Han gathers the wire peppers that have become small sections on the cutting board, and then chops them up quickly.

The so-called chopped chili, the word "chop" is the essence.

After chopping the chili peppers until they were all finely chopped, put them in a large porcelain bowl with a relatively wide opening for easy subsequent stirring. Immediately afterwards, Qi Han began to chop the ginger.

The cutting method of young ginger is somewhat similar to that of pepper, first cut into thin slices and then finely minced ginger.

Although the smell of ginger is equally pungent, it is not the same as that of pepper, not to mention the smell of young ginger is lighter, so cutting ginger is more friendly to Qi Han's nose.

Chop the young ginger and sprinkle it in the large porcelain bowl already filled with peppercorns. A third color is immediately added between the red peppercorns and the golden pepper seeds.

It belongs to the bright yellow color of young ginger.

After adding refined salt according to the ratio of pepper to salt ten to one, carefully stir the minced ginger and crushed pepper in the large porcelain bowl evenly...

Yes, you heard that right, salt is added in a ratio of ten to one.

Usually when we add salt, we often use words such as "a little" and "appropriate amount" to describe it, but chopped peppers are different. A lot of salt needs to be added. The amount of salt has a great impact on the taste of chopped peppers, because it will Keeping the liquid in the chopped peppers with a high salt concentration inhibits the yeast fermentation process.

If you put less, the shelf life of chopped peppers will be shorter and they will be more prone to sourness.

Although this will make the chopped peppers too salty and difficult to eat when eaten directly, the way of eating bibimbap and noodles will not be affected at all.

Then carefully add high-altitude white wine to achieve the effect of sterilization and flavoring.

After stirring a few more times, after fully mixing the extremely mellow high-grade liquor provided by Ruyi with the chopped chili in the large porcelain bowl, Qi Han carefully scooped up a spoonful of bright red chopped chili with a large stirring spoon.

Make the edge of the large spoon close to the side wall of the large porcelain bowl, and slowly tilt it so that the water in the chopped peppers slowly flows back into the porcelain bowl, and then Qi Han carefully brought the spoonful of chopped peppers close to his mouth and nose.

After such a long time of stirring and processing, the incomparably pungent spicy taste when the peppers were just chopped has almost dissipated. What is left at this moment is more of the peppery smell that belongs to the peppers themselves. The pungent but incomparably alluring taste is accompanied by a trace of mellow wine aroma, which sneaks into Qi Han's nostrils like a needle.

Although it is not the complete version of chopped chili, the taste has already made him unable to restrain the secretion of saliva from his mouth.

smell good…

Qi Han sniffed it greedily, then reluctantly brought a large empty jar from the side, and put this spoonful of chopped peppers into it.

Spoon after spoon, each spoonful of chopped pepper needs to be drained as much as possible before being placed in the altar.

Until the porcelain bowl bottomed out and only some light red water remained, Qi Han sealed the mouth of the altar and put it into the time acceleration device beside him.

Normal chopped peppers need to be marinated for about a month to be completely perfect.

But for Qi Han, 5 minutes is enough.

The black technology of the system is so terrifying.
