Chapter 413 The Food that Makes You Die

The next morning, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle.

Early in the morning, the villagers got up early and started working, and the village, which was beginning to take shape, began to become lively.

When Yang Ming opened the door to the room, he found that Asura had been waiting at the door for a long time.

A hearty smile appeared on Ashura's face, "Chef Yang Ming, did you have a good rest last night?"

"It's very good, just like being at home." Yang Ming said.

Asura stretched out his hand to invite you and said with a smile: "The food cooked by Chef Yang Ming last night was really amazing. I plan to make some breakfast for you today and ask you to taste it."

As soon as he heard that there was food, Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Under the leadership of Asura, Yang Ming and other friends who got up came to the dining room together.

I saw a large basin on the table with a beautiful fish swimming in it.

It is exactly a puffer fish!

To live or to die is an eternal question.

For all foodies, the ultimate test is whether they are willing to taste food with "death awareness", and pufferfish is the most alluring touchstone.

Kitaoji Rashan wrote in "The Kingdom of Cuisine": "The taste of puffer fish is far from comparable to that of Akashi sea bream, sea cucumber, or foie gras." It is a "tasteless taste."

Hearing this, you may think that Lushan and Dugu Qiubai may be good friends who traveled through time and space. Today, when all kinds of cuisine are very flavorful, "tasteless taste" is not necessarily the taste of the public.

However, puffer fish meat is rich in umami amino acids such as glutamic acid and glycine and nucleotides such as inosinic acid and guanylic acid, which are indeed powerful explanations for its delicious taste.

For most people in the Naruto world, many people die every year because they love to eat pufferfish but don't know how to remove the toxins in it.

"You will die if you eat pufferfish" is an extremely crude statement. In fact, different parts of pufferfish of different species, origins, genders, and seasons have different toxicity.

The poison content of puffer fish also varies with the seasons. Before the spawning period in spring, the liver and ovary are highly toxic; after spawning, the toxicity weakens.

Additionally, male fish typically have lower toxin levels than female fish.

Precisely because the cooking of pufferfish is so complex, even experts who claim to have studied pufferfish for decades are not sure how to make pufferfish dishes that are completely non-toxic.

In reality, many people have no problem eating puffer fish. In fact, this is because most of the toxins in puffer fish are removed, and only a small amount is left in the human body, which does not cause much harm. However, for people who are prone to allergies, even a little bit All can be fatal.

Among all the people present, except for Yang Ming and Asura, the others suddenly changed their expressions when they saw the pufferfish!

Even for Uchiha Madara, seeing a pufferfish brought back bad memories.

Although Madara Uchiha survived due to his good physical condition after eating pufferfish, he suffered from diarrhea for three days and nights, which made him look blue, mouth white, and almost doubt his life!

Of course, apart from all the disadvantages of puffer fish, puffer fish meat is the best among all fish meats, and it can be called the uncrowned king!

If you had to choose the most delicious part of the pufferfish, puffer fish liver would be the choice.

Japan has regarded fugu liver as a delicacy since the Edo period. Food critic Hattori Yukio believed that fugu liver has a "rich flavor like condensed milk" and favored it.

The season for pufferfish is winter, and there is a saying that goes from the other side of autumn to the other side of spring.

The puffer fish meat in this season is equivalent to diamonds in human society, and it is the best of the best delicacies!

Seeing that most of the people present changed their expressions when seeing the pufferfish, Asura was not surprised.

However, when he saw that Yang Ming still looked calm, he couldn't help but shine, and asked curiously: "Isn't Chef Yang Ming afraid?"

Asura's question had a rather tentative flavor to it.

When he thought about it, maybe Yang Ming had just never eaten puffer fish.

Who knows, Yang Ming said calmly: "There is no need to be afraid at all."

"If you are making sashimi, finely chop the pufferfish meat and rinse it repeatedly with water to remove the poison."

"If you are making hot pot dishes, cook the pufferfish meat thoroughly over high heat to remove most of the toxins in the pufferfish."

After all, rinsing, rubbing, and heating can significantly reduce the content of tetrodotoxin, and heating can also cause structural changes in tetrodotoxin, gradually changing into weakly toxic dehydrated tetrodotoxin and nontoxic tetrodotoxin.

Therefore, through proper treatment of fugu liver, toxicity can be reduced.

When Yang Ming finished speaking, the entire audience fell silent. They looked at Yang Ming in amazement, admiring him beyond words.

Asura smiled heartily, "Originally I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect Chef Yang Ming to be able to cook this dish for a long time. It makes me feel like I'm trying to do whatever I want."

Yang Ming said nothing and rolled his eyes secretly.

Although Yang Ming doesn't know how to cook puffer fish, he has never eaten pork and has seen pork.

In a country full of foodies, fugu, a top dish, is as well known as fried poached eggs.

After hearing what the two people said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Uchiha Madara touched his flat belly and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect that he could still eat delicious food with peace of mind following Yang Ming. It was an unexpected surprise.

Of course, what Uchiha Madara cares about the most is Asura.

After all, Asura and Senju Hashirama are so similar!

Before describing Asura’s cooking, let’s first talk about another cute skill of pufferfish.

Will you die if you don't act cute?

When the pufferfish becomes cute, it suddenly feels like a crazy bird.

Yes, the pufferfish can instantly transform from a serious fish into a cute ball, or vice versa. The reason why it can do this is because unlike many fish, the pufferfish has no pelvic fins, belt bones, or vertebrae. The upper ribs and the strong stretchability of the abdominal skin allow it to let a large amount of air or water into the extremely elastic stomach, expanding the body size several times to scare off predators.

However, for Asura, these are no problems at all.

When he put his eternal hand into the large basin and grabbed the pufferfish, the pufferfish that originally seemed small suddenly swelled up from the size of a wooden stick to the size of a football, with small thorns waiting on the surface. , with a chubby mouth, not only does it not look ferocious, but actually very cute and cute.

However.

In Asura's hands, this cute puffer fish was cut open in a short time.

Because puffer fish meat is particularly rich in fiber, it is more elastic and harder to chew than other sashimi.

Obviously, since Ashura planned to make fugu dishes, even though he didn't understand what fiber was, he relied on his rich experience and immediately solved the problem of difficulty in chewing by cutting it thinly.
