26, eel(2/2)
Marinate the eel bones and liver with onion, ginger, water and white wine for five minutes, then heat up a small pot, sauté the onion, ginger and pepper rings until fragrant, add the fish bones and liver and fry slowly over low heat.
When it's almost fried, add onions and carrots and stir-fry briefly, then pour soy sauce, oil, sugar, water, etc. into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until it thickens and becomes the sauce.
Wash the eel's skin with salt, wash off the mucus on it, absorb the water with kitchen paper, and then put it into a pot and fry it slowly over low heat.
At this time, pour out the sauce that has just been boiled and filter it through a strainer. Only the sauce is needed, not the ingredients inside.
While frying the eel in the pot, brush the sauce on it, brushing the front and back back and forth until the color of the whole eel becomes brown.
Eel rice was originally supposed to use grilled eel.
Lu Ao didn't have a charcoal fire at home, so he could just make do by frying.
As the color of the eel pieces in the pot became more and more intense, Lu Ao swallowed his saliva, scooped them up, and put in new eel meat for frying.
Lu Ao was full of patience for delicious food. A pot of eel meat weighed at least seven or eight kilograms, and he finished frying them meticulously. The color of the finally fried eel pieces was almost exactly the same - they were both browned fish meat with sauce on them.
It has a bright luster, sprinkled with a few chopped green onions, and the rich fragrance goes straight to people's forehead.
Lu Ao brought a large plate of eel meat to the yard and asked, "Is the rice ready?"
"Okay, it jumped to the keep warm mode ten minutes ago."
"Okay, let's eat first." Lu Ao went to the disinfection cupboard and took out two large plates, as well as a spoon and chopsticks.
He opened the rice cooker to check the condition of the rice.
The freshly cooked rice is still steaming and exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Song Zhou fluffed up the rice, scooped it into two people's plates, and gathered it into a semicircle.
Lu Ao used chopsticks to cover large pieces of eel meat on top of the rice until all the white rice was completely covered and no grain of rice could be seen, then he poured two spoons of sauce on top.
Two large plates of eel rice are now ready.
Under the light, the sauce on the eel was shiny, and Lu Ao's eyes also shone.
Song Zhou couldn't help but smile in his eyes when he saw it.
Lu Ao couldn't care about anything else. He picked up his chopsticks and looked at Song Zhou opposite, "Let's eat?"
Song Zhou smiled and said, "Let's eat."
Lu Ao immediately picked up a piece of eel meat and gently stuffed it into his mouth.
The eel pieces are very thick and covered with sauce. When you bite them gently, they are soft, fresh and hot, and extremely tender.
Even if it is fried, this is the tenderest fish Lu Ao has ever eaten.
This kind of tenderness is not as tender as egg custard, it is not that smooth, but when you sip it lightly, the meat is completely broken.
Eels originally have spines, but the fried eel pieces can be chewed off together with the spines.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s fresh, but the eel has no fishy smell at all, it’s just indescribably tender, and even the skin is extra elastic.
Lu Ao took a bite of fish and then took a big bite of rice.
The rice is still hot, and the eel sauce is wrapped in the hot rice. It is just right and salty. If you eat it in such a big bite, there is no other disadvantage except that it is high in calories.
The rice is mixed with the eel juice, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes. Finally, the light and sweet taste of the rice is the base, and the eel rice is finished with this mouthful.
Lu Ao didn't expect eel rice to have such an effect at all. He sighed. "It's not a loss when eels are sold for 81 pounds outside."
Song Zhou swallowed the rice in his mouth and praised: "It's really delicious, the ingredients are good, and your craftsmanship is also good."
"It's mainly because of the ingredients." Lu Ao took a big mouthful of eel meat with satisfaction and said inarticulately: "Compared to eating delicious eel rice, this eel is big enough and I can eat it until I am satisfied.
The happiest.”
"That's right. Is there any wine at home?"
After hearing his question, Lu Ao remembered, "Yes, I haven't finished the wine you gave me last time. Let's drink some of that wine?"
"good."
Lu Ao lowered his head and hurriedly took another big mouthful of white rice, then stood up and said vaguely: "I'll take it out."
Soon, the spirit wine was taken out and the amber liquid was poured into the snow-white porcelain cup.
Lu Ao took a sip, and an indescribable taste rushed to the back of his head.
After finishing the wine, have another big bite of eel rice.
The eel becomes softer and tenderer, the rice becomes sweeter, and the rice wrapped in sauce can capture people's soul.
Spiritual wine, eel rice.
These two foods, which sound completely different from each other, only when you put them together do you realize how suitable they are.
Lu Ao ate without even raising his head.
It took nearly an hour to finish the big pot of white rice and all the eels on the plate.
Lu Ao drank two bowls of wine. He was not drunk at all, but he felt a sense of satisfaction.
Song Zhou packed up his things and sent them to the kitchen for washing.
Lu Ao sat in the yard and looked up at the stars, moving his head little by little.
Song Zhou came out after washing the dishes and lightly tapped the back of his chair, "I'm going back first."
This night with Song Zhou was so enjoyable that Lu Ao was a little reluctant to let him go. He stood up and followed him like a little follower, "Won't you sit down for a while longer?"
Song Zhou turned around and looked at him, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Lu Ao rubbed his eyes and said lazily: "I'm not very sleepy. I can just sit for a while and look at the stars."
"Next time." Song Zhou narrowed his eyes, "I'll come back tomorrow."
Lu Ao couldn't move his head very well. Hearing this, he looked at him with a pair of dull eyes. It took him a while to realize, "It's agreed."
"It's agreed." Song Zhou smiled, "I'll teach you how to make rain tomorrow, and I'll have dinner with you by the way."
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll catch some delicious fish, so I'll stay and let's eat together."
"Well, I'll bring some other ingredients." Song Zhou waved his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Good night."
"Good night."
His figure quickly disappeared. Lu Ao stared blankly at the empty yard, paused for a while, and then shuffled back to the house to wash up.
I don’t know whether it’s because I ate eel rice or drank wine tonight.
He relaxed mentally for a long time.
He hasn't been so relaxed for a long time since his parents died.
As the warm bath water poured down, Lu Ao stood under the showerhead and yawned.
The loneliness in my heart seemed to be melted and washed away by hot water.
He put on his pajamas, lay down on the soft and large bed, and covered himself with a quilt.
