Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 268 The Soul of Chopped Pepper Fish Head
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Qi Han carefully carried the oversized dinner plate, walked to a table in the dining area and put it down.

"Meow!"

Seeing the familiar bright red color, Gulu frowned suddenly, and almost left in a flash of fog again.

However, his nose twitched slightly, and he found that the horrible irritating smell did not appear again. In other words, after being much milder than before, Gulu quickly calmed down. He only glanced at the dinner plate in front of Qi Han, and immediately lowered his head. Go ahead and enjoy your cat meal.

The green onion on it made it lose interest in an instant.

As the excrement shoveler said, cats can’t eat onions, ginger, and garlic.

Ignoring Gulu's movements, the large plate of fish heads with chopped peppers in front of him almost occupied Qi Han's entire field of vision. He swallowed, picked up his chopsticks impatiently, and poked towards the fish heads with chopped peppers.

Slightly peeling away some bright red chopped peppers, the blue-black gelatinous skin on the outermost side of the fish head is revealed.

During the previous steaming process, the green-black skin became a bit darker. Now under Qi Han's chopsticks, it collapsed with a slight force, and the edge part tilted inward. It moved slowly, the soft and elastic texture was almost visible to the naked eye, and the blue-black and slightly crystal-clear color looked a bit like jelly.

In the process of steaming the gelatin in the steamed fish head, the gelatin will not only be heated and cooked, but also absorb a large amount of water vapor, so that the gelatin after cooking is soft and waxy, but elastic It is impossible to do so.

What can achieve this is the final process of pouring hot oil on the fish head.

The hot oil that absorbs a lot of the spicy flavor of chopped chili is poured directly on the steamed fish head with chopped pepper after boiling.

The scalding hot oil penetrates quickly, along the gap between the thick layer of chopped peppers covering the surface of the fish head, and comes into intimate contact with the fish head, thus producing an effect similar to frying.

After contacting the gelatin with hot oil, a large amount of moisture on the surface is lost, and the epidermis is thus tightened and becomes taut.

Therefore, the gelatin on the surface is elastic, but the gelatin inside is still soft and refreshing.

This treatment gives the colloidal elasticity and softness in the fish head a taste.

A mouthful of jelly was directly sent into the mouth by Qi Han. At the beginning of the mouth, the unique and strong spicy taste of chopped peppers instantly soaked the tip of the tongue, bringing a strong burning feeling.

Hiss, so spicy!

But this spicy taste was not continuous, and soon, Qi Han recalled a more intense fragrance hidden in the spicy taste.

After the tip of the tongue was briefly numb due to the burning heat, it slowly regained consciousness, and the unique taste of gelatin in the fish head also broke out at this moment.

There is no trace of fishy smell in the jelly, and the special delicious taste of the fish head itself is slightly light, like a clear spring, moistening things silently, slowly released from the jelly as Qi Han chews, and wrapping The spicy taste of chopped chili soup on the gelatinous surface is thoroughly integrated.

Like chewing jelly, Qi Han closed his eyes beautifully, feeling the complex and layered taste erupting together with the wonderful taste.

Wonderful.

The jelly wrapped on the surface of the fish head was picked up, and the crescent meat hidden under the jelly also revealed its true face at this moment.

The crescent meat is located in front of the fish's gills and behind the fish's eyes, which is exactly where Qi Han's knife made a crack.

Between the large, smooth and transparent fish cheekbones, the crescent-shaped spindle-shaped fish meat is white and tender, with pink patches interspersed on it.

This is the most tender and plump meat in the whole fish.

That pink lump is not undercooked fish.

Fish is white meat, even if it is not cooked, it will not be pink.

From the perspective of fish physiological structure, the crescent meat is closely connected with the gills of the fish, and the fish needs to breathe continuously. It will be more elastic and energetic, and it will contain more colloid and fat.

Slowly take out the large piece of fishbone wrapped with crescent moon meat with chopsticks, suck off the soup on the surface of the fishbone and a trace of jelly, and then put it on the table beside him. Immediately afterwards, with excitement, Qi Han put A whole piece of crescent moon meat came out.

The head of the hammerhead silver carp is so huge, so the crescent meat is naturally not small. This piece of crescent meat is half the size of a palm, which is the biggest crescent meat that Qi Han has ever seen.

The fish head that is usually eaten, all the crescent moon meat is not enough to eat in one bite, this one is different.

It's cool to eat.

The crescent meat is extremely tender, and the meat is firmer and smoother than ordinary fish.

Before steaming the fish, Qi Han made cracks on the bone of the fish face covering the crescent meat. During the process of steaming the fish head, a large amount of water vapor engulfed the spicy taste of the chopped peppers covering the surface of the fish head. It continuously passes through the cracks and penetrates into the crescent meat. Therefore, although the crescent meat is wrapped by large pieces of fish bones and located inside the fish head, the taste is not bad at all.

"Ow!"

After taking a bite, the crescent moon meat almost oozes juice in Qi Han's mouth, as long as he chews lightly, a rich and fresh fish fragrance is continuously released along with the spiciness of chopped chili. Qi Han's lips and teeth were soon filled, staying on the tip of his tongue for a long time.

What a delicious fish!

Qi Han's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but slow down his chewing speed.

After swallowing the crescent meat in his mouth, Qi Han saw that there were still about two-thirds of the crescent meat on the chopsticks, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

There is another way to eat crescent meat.

That is to eat with the soup of chopped chili on the plate.

Qi Han dipped the gap he bit into the soup on the plate, and then bit down again.

Different from the taste of chopped chili peppers that permeated into the crescent moon meat before, this time the surface of the crescent moon meat was covered with the fresh and spicy soup of chopped chili peppers. As Qi Han chewed, his mouth felt a burning sensation.

The soup that absorbs the rich and spicy taste of the chopped chili is the spiciest.

"hiss…"

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his lips felt a little swollen.

But the discomfort brought by that feeling is not much, on the contrary, it is a kind of heartiness that gradually comes to my heart with the process of tasting the chopped pepper fish head.

That's cool!

After finishing the piece of crescent meat in three bites, Qi Han's chopsticks stretched out to the chopped pepper fish head on the plate again.

cooked rice!

...

A plate of chopped pepper fish head that is the size of a chopping board may look like a lot, but in fact...

The portion is really generous.

When the plate in front of Qi Han was filled with some chopped peppers and a pile of fish bones beside the plate, he was almost sixty percent full.

Looking at the remaining soup and chopped peppers on the oversized dinner plate, Qi Han fell into deep thought.

Always felt…

It seems something is missing...

what is it then…

Qi Han sat up straight suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

noodles!

If the broth of chopped pepper fish head is not used to mix noodles, the chopped pepper fish head will lose its soul.

"Ruyi! I think it is necessary to improve the chopped pepper fish head!"

"What improvement?"

"I think a portion of cooked noodles should be added next to the chopped pepper fish head, so that after eating the chopped pepper fish head, the broth of the fish head can be eaten with noodles!" Qi Han's expression was very serious, "Ruyi, what do you think? Sample?"
