Chapter 83 Fried Escargot
For those who often work night shifts, having a midnight snack is definitely the most beautiful enjoyment.
Think about it, on a silent night, having a hot supper to reward yourself after a hard day and relieve your nervous nerves is enough to re-energize yourself the next day.
Of course, people who eat late at night usually choose to eat instant noodles for one reason or another, such as being too lazy to cook, or because of economic constraints.
After all, instant noodles are economical and affordable, and only a small packet can temporarily satisfy your appetite.
However, for foodies, this is far from satisfying.
There is a night snack that is as affordable as instant noodles, and that is fried snails.
Field snails are different from stone snails in that they have thin shells and thick flesh.
Stir-fried in a wok with an aromatic herb called perilla, it will produce a strange smell that is spicy in the fragrance and sweet in the spicy.
Ordinary people usually don't cook this dish.
Although they tried to use chili, garlic, and fermented soybeans as condiments for fried snails, they still couldn't get rid of the muddy smell of snails, which made people feel a fly in the ointment.
In fact, it is very easy to make this dish. It does not require any cooking skills at all, just a little patience.
This morning, the aunt who ate raw vegetable worms sent a basket of snails over as a gift to thank Professor Yang Ming for teaching him.
These snails are very fresh, they are all fished out from the fields.
In this world without any pesticides, this kind of snail is not full of all kinds of dirty or harmful substances like in the city.
As soon as Yang Ming got it, he poured the snails into the big basin, filled them with clean water, stirred them with a big wooden stick, and used the friction between the snails to wash off the big mud.
Of course, in this process, don't use too much strength, otherwise it will kill the snails.
If the snails are dead, uh, congratulations, you'll be eating food that stinks like poop!
Cleaning snails is a very troublesome process. It needs to change the water constantly and repeat. It is a very patient process.
However, when the foul smell of mud gradually fades away, there will be an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
After cleaning, there is actually one last step.
Often, this step is also the key to whether the snail tastes muddy or not!
After Yang Ming washed all the mud on the surface of the snails, he poured them into a large basin that had been cleaned, filled them with clean water, and dripped a few drops of oil on them, then left them for a period of time.
This is the finishing touch!
The purpose is to wash off the mud in the belly of the snail!
Since the snails spit mud slowly, adding a little oil will speed up the process.
Of course, it would be even better if you add sesame oil, which will give the snails a hint of aroma.
After soaking in the water for a whole day, the snail spit out the mud in its belly, and the originally clear bottom of the basin was once again stained with a layer of mud.
Yang Ming cleaned the basin, filtered the snails again with clean water, and then started to fry them.
Heat the pan and add oil.
When the oil started to boil, Yang Ming sprinkled the snails and scooped them up with oil.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
When the snails with a little moisture were put into the pot, they immediately caused a violent rebound, and even a small fire was set on the oil pot.
Yang Ming didn't feel nervous at all, he grabbed the handle of the pot and started frying quickly!
The flame clings to the snail, like a fiery snake, breathing out raging flames.
But no matter how arrogant the fire snake is, it still can't resist the shaking of the iron pot like a landslide.
When it was half-cooked, Yang Ming grabbed a handful of perilla leaves and chili peppers to bring out the umami taste of the snails.
Suddenly, like sparks hitting the earth, wonderful changes took place on both sides.
A strong fragrance came out, refreshing.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Smelling this scent, the stomachs of all the people who were waiting at the door of the kitchen swelled.
Naruto wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "It smells so good, I really want to eat it now!"
Kakashi pretended to be watching the heaven of intimacy, but his eyes were sneaky, he kept looking at the dishes Yang Ming cooked, thinking about how to be one step ahead of others and steal them.
Everyone is very experienced now, and they know that Yang Ming's products must be high-quality products, and they often need to be robbed in order to eat them.
At this point, Naruto suffered a big loss after a few ninjas, and was completely crushed under the absolute strength of Kakashi and Zabuza.
Fortunately, they are not stupid. After several lessons, they formed an alliance together. The members include Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Shiro.
Yes, Lian Bai also joined their alliance.
Food is currently, how can you miss it!
Moreover, they also named this alliance "Food Club".
Well, considering they don't have much talent for naming, that's about it.
When the steaming snails were on the table, I saw that the black snails, the red peppers, and the emerald green perilla leaves complement each other, which is so beautiful that it is a feast for the eyes.
Coupled with the gushing fragrance, it is even more mouth-watering.
Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and joined the fighting team one after another.
Naruto used several shadow clones to attract Kakashi's attention, and several members of the alliance team seized the opportunity and quickly grabbed a handful of snails.
"Oh, it's hot!"
A few people couldn't eat the hot tofu in a hurry, so they grabbed it with their hands, and their fingers were burned immediately.
But food is currently, how can there be so much care!
Naruto was about to eat it, but he suddenly found that he couldn't put his mouth down!
The exquisite and small snail meat, like a shy elf, is huddled in the snail shell, with only a little root exposed, which attracts people to eat, and makes people love and hate it.
Naruto aimed his mouth at the exposed meat of the snail, sucking and biting clumsily.
However, the snail meat is so stubborn, like a stake made of iron, it doesn't move at all!
Naruto looked at the snail in his hand sadly, as if he felt the other party's ridicule.
"Hehe, let you change in ever-changing ways, even if I'm beaten to death, I won't come out. It depends on you!"
Not only Naruto, but other people also encountered the same problem, and were instantly stunned.
At this time, their respective IQs are reflected.
Kakashi took out the kunai, learned without a teacher, inserted the tip into the snail meat, then screwed it up, picked out the snail meat, and tasted it with relish.
As for not beheading again, uh, he is simple and violent to the extreme.
He held the snail in the palm of his hand, pressed his palms together, crushed the snail shell with a snap, and then picked up the snail meat inside from the broken snail shell.
Naruto and the others followed suit and tried.
But Naruto, a clumsy guy, can neither learn Kakashi's finesse, nor can he learn the strength of no more chopping. He often crushes the snail meat, and can't taste the full taste.
So, in the spirit of asking Yang Ming if something was unknown, he turned his attention to Yang Ming for help.
(By the way, I’m embarrassed! Didn’t anyone see what the author of yesterday’s chapter said? I thought someone would guess what it was for a late-night snack. Gagen said goodbye to you all.)
Can anyone name the foodie club of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shiro? ? ? Post it in the comments or chapters! ! !
