The yellow eel is in Jingzhou, and people call it eel. Despite its snake-like appearance, it is essentially only a scaleless freshwater fish that is not offensive to humans. Its cowardice allows people to kill at will from the belly or from the back of the mouth according to the form of the dish.
Eels are served in a variety of dishes. Cut the strips obliquely, roll in the boiling oil pot for a few seconds, drain the grease, cook the seasoning is the stir-fried eel shreds; the yellow eel with a bone flat knife hammer flattens and then cut the inches, the oil pot with peppercorn ginger minced sautéed until it is broken, the watercress sauce is boiled for a few minutes, until the eel slices are slightly twisted at both ends of the juice out of the pot, is to fry the eel bridge, that is, home-style eel; eel is slaughtered and cut into barrels, and the lettuce or cucumber meat is integrated. The taste is reversed in the quiet stew, the dull cucumber and lettuce are much more delicious than the eel, and people chase the flavor of meat and vegetable inversion; the eel and the nanfeng salt dish are cooked hot pot, which has a significant farmhouse flavor.
"Leather eel", an outlier of the yellow eel.
It introduces the taste buds with a sweet and sour flavor pattern, contrary to the salty and fresh home-style flavor of Jingchu. The tender texture of the outside and the tenderness of the inside show the complexity of its frying several times. In terms of cooking techniques, the flavor type of pimp eel belongs to the "lychee flavor", and the "lychee flavor" is rare in the Chu flavor, which is far from the daily meals of the people of Jingsha.
Pimps are "indecent, merely improperly expressed in dialects, and without ambiguity." "tiao" in the Jingsha dialect means to hang, hang, and relax. A crispy fried eel or sweet and sour eel, which is actually used as a pimp, really reduces the character of the dish. What is the way, the cook of the late Qing Dynasty, can't read a few big characters. It is not easy to understand this way, and today's Chinese characters have evolved from hieroglyphs.
Chinese famous dish strip eel, the production of dishes is extremely complicated, divided, kneaded, hanging pulp, first fried, re-fried, cooking juice, hook and mustard interlocking orderly, a good food is not boring. The subtleties show the unique ingenuity of Chu Kitchen.
We can imagine that when the pimp eel was awarded the title of China's famous dish, it went through ups and downs. Forty years ago, when pimp eels were evaluated before officials and experts, their hearts must have been intertwined with contradictions. The irrepressible sweet and sour aroma of pimp eels passed in front of the judges, and the flowing delicacy covered the indecent characters of the text. In the face of delicious food, any decent can be defeated, and this huge conquest force no one can resist.
Take a look, try it ~ ~~
