Chapter 363: A small artifact to ward off the cold in late autumn: fish in tomato and sour soup! Justice, Dun Dun, attacks online!(2/3)
"What a coincidence, so am I. Mother Lin is very fond of the landlady, and she wants the same kind of mother-in-law."
"When Mother Lin said it was no trouble, I was suddenly very touched."
"Me too, this family atmosphere is so enviable."
Lin Xu briefly browsed through everyone's comments and thought they were quite good. Maybe his sweet baby can really transform into an UP owner.
At almost four o'clock in the afternoon, I brought two black fish to the kitchen, slaughtered them, and started making fish in tomato and sour soup.
This dish is actually not difficult to make, it is almost the same as the pickled fish recipe.
However, the difference is that pickled fish relies on pickled cabbage to produce sourness, while sour fish needs tomatoes. The unique sour aroma of tomatoes can increase the umami flavor of the dish. This is also the reason why the tomato soup base in hot pot restaurants has always been popular.

When butchering the fish, Lin Xu picked some washed tomatoes, cut them on the surface, and then put them into the steaming cabinet for steaming.
Today's tomatoes are all hard varieties, which are difficult to fry until soft, so steaming them in advance not only facilitates peeling, but the tomatoes can also become soft during steaming.
The tomatoes fried in this way will be more mushy and the sour flavor will be stronger.
Slaughter the snakehead fish cleanly, follow the method of making pickled fish, separate the bones and meat of the snakehead fish, cut the fish meat diagonally into fillets, add a little salt and onion and ginger water and stir until it becomes sticky.
Then add an egg white and a little potato starch and mix evenly. Finally, add a little peanut oil and mix it a few times to marinate.
Cut the fish bones into sections, cut the fish head into pieces, and marinate them in the same way.
After doing this, prepare some yellow lantern pickled peppers to add some spiciness to the sour taste, so that it tastes more delicious.
"Boss, do you need any side dishes to make the fish in sour soup?"
"Put some in, soak some fungus, add some enoki mushrooms, and add some fungi."
Lin Xu has finished arranging these, and the tomatoes are almost steamed.
Take it out, peel off the skin of the tomatoes, and mash all the tomatoes with a garlic pestle until they are pureed.
This step is the same as the eating method in Yunnan and Guizhou areas. The difference is that there is a roasting method for cooking tomatoes, while Lin Xu uses steaming.
Mash all the tomatoes and you're ready to make it.
Boil water on the stove, add a little salt, blanch the enoki mushrooms and fungus and put them on the bottom of the basin.
There were two fish today, and they were relatively big, so Lin Xu divided them into several portions so that everyone could try them.
After the base dish is ready, pour out the water from the pot, wash it, slide the wok a few times, then add cooking oil to the pot, put the fish bones and fish heads in and fry.
After frying, take it out, put another spoonful of lard into the pan, heat the oil, add the onion, ginger and garlic and fry it.
Fry until fragrant, take it out, and then add a tablespoon of tomato sauce.
When making tomato sour soup, tomatoes alone are not sour enough and the color is not good enough. You need to add some tomato paste to increase the color and taste.
However, although tomato sauce is easy to use, it needs to be stir-fried with hot oil until all the fermentation smell in the sauce is released. This will make the sour soup delicious, sour and spicy.
Saute the tomato sauce until fragrant, pour in the mashed tomato paste, add salt, and continue to stir-fry.
This step requires thoroughly frying the tomato paste, and allowing the tomato paste and tomato sauce to be perfectly mixed together.
After the sauce in the pot was stir-fried until a strong sour aroma wafted out, Lin Xu put the prepared yellow lantern pickled peppers in, and then cooked some rice vinegar along the edge of the pot.
Make the sour aroma more intense and soft.
Finally, add the fried fish bones and fish heads, stir-fry briefly, and add boiling water.
Add salt, sugar, light soy sauce, and a little dark soy sauce to the pot, cover the pot, and simmer over high heat for five minutes.
By boiling, the umami flavor from the fish bones is brought into the soup, so that the tomato sour soup tastes more delicious and charming.
Five minutes later, the soup in the pot has completely turned into red soup. The unique sour aroma of tomatoes and the fresh aroma of fish bones are mixed together, making people greedy unconsciously.
Lin Xu used a slotted spoon to break out the fish bones from the pot and put them into a basin.
Then boil the tomato sour soup again, add lemon slices to increase acidity and freshness, simmer for a while and remove the pot from the stove. When the soup in the pot seems to be boiling, add the fish fillets dispersedly.
p>
Just like boiled fish and pickled fish, when the fish fillets are cooked in tomato and sour soup, the soup in the pot cannot be boiled. The fish fillets are cooked by blanching, so that the taste is more tender and smooth.
Put all the fish fillets in, push them gently with the back of a spoon, wait until all the fish fillets change color, put all the fish and soup into a basin, garnish with some coriander leaves, and start eating!
Song Tiantian went out and quickly replaced Chen Yuanyuan.
"Hahahaha, I just said casually, brother, are you really a fish in tomato and sour soup?"
"How dare you not do what I asked you to do?"
Sister Yuanyuan wears a newly bought scarf around her neck, and her trousers that were originally rolled up have been lowered.
After being taught by the cold wind at the street corner, she finally learned to keep warm.
"I have to go back and put on my long johns after eating. The wind is too strong and my legs are freezing due to the cold."
When she was hesitating about what to wear in the morning, Director Zeng helped her analyze it and said that although the location of Ziqiang Shengjian No. 1 store does not receive sunlight, there are large frying pans in the store that are constantly working, so it will definitely be very warm.
It might even be so hot that you might sweat.
As a result, Sister Yuanyuan believed this and almost turned into a stupid dog from the cold.
At this moment, she looked at the red-colored fish in tomato and sour soup on the dining table and exuded a rich sour aroma, holding the freshly served rice in her hands, and she felt a little warm.
"Brother, please bring the hot drinks quickly. The coats worn by employees are too thin. Why don't you get some winter clothes that can protect you from the wind? It's going to snow and you won't freeze people into ice sculptures?"
Dou Wenjing, who came to eat, said:
"The company is preparing for this. We will definitely distribute the clothes within three days. In addition, we will add heating equipment to everyone to ensure that front-line employees will not get cold."
"Thank you Mr. Dou."
"I should thank you. Without your feedback, it would not be easy for us in the company to discover these details."
After everyone sat down, they started eating.
"What did you shoot this afternoon?"
Lin Xu scooped up a spoonful of tomato soup and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. The sourness of the lemon made the dish less greasy and more refreshing.
Baby Shen took a bite of rice:
"I took a picture of Dundun playing with the cat castle. He is so smart. He even pulled the cat stick to the Tongtian Pillar to tease me like fishing."
Lin Xu:??????
Which one of you is the cat?
The fish fillets are very tender, and the sour aroma of tomatoes is simply perfect.
Eat a piece of fish, then scoop up some sour and delicious soup and drink it in small sips. The coldness in your body will be dispelled by the sour and delicious soup.
Comfortable, so comfortable!
"It's delicious. I think it would be delicious if you add some rice noodles or noodles to this soup."
"That's for sure. Even if you put two big cakes in this soup, it will still be delicious."
"I almost want to hold the basin and take two big sips."
"Brother, you have such good craftsmanship, don't you plan to introduce new ones in the store?"
"We won't sell it for the time being. The pickled fish has been selling like hotcakes these past two days. We won't sell similar products for the time being, so that the kitchen will not have to prepare the ingredients for the fish in sour soup."
When introducing new dishes in a restaurant, you can’t just introduce them all at once, but you need to introduce them in an orderly manner.
Today's dinner included fish in sour soup and braised pig's trotters with soybeans. Dou Wenjing poured some soybeans into a bowl and put a piece of pig's trotters on it. Then she took a photo and sent it to the group. She liked Zeng Xiaoqi:
"Come on, Boss Lin's limited edition breast enhancement package, it's time for you to get rid of your little bear hat."
"Tch, my 34B is rounded up to 32C. Is C cup considered small? Leave some for me. I'm not doing it to enlarge my breasts, but I'm suddenly craving soybean braised pork knuckles."
Chen Yan said in the group:
"Director Zeng, it feels like if I throw you into a pressure cooker, even if the bones are crispy, your mouth will be hard."
Zeng Xiaoqi countered:
"Whatever you say, Sister Qiqi, I have a lot of money. Don't be angry. By the way, why is it Xiaodoudou's turn to poison today? Mr. Chen, the poison king, is not eating in the store?"
Shu Yun bubbled up in the group:
"After Mr. Chen fell in love, he paid attention to his figure and stopped eating with us."
Chen Yan said:
"Ren Jie was in a bad mood, so I accompanied him to Chaoyang Park for a walk, and then found a nearby cinema to watch two movies to relax."
"Why are you in a bad mood? Are you bullying someone?"
"How could I bear to bully him? The leader talked to him and told him that he was still young and had long-term goals."
Dou Wenjing immediately sent a message:
"These words sound familiar. Are you trying to take credit for it?"
"Yes, they say Ren Jie has only been in the team for a year and is too young... I'm so angry. Ren Jie's Captain Sui even cursed her on the phone..."
