Chapter 57 Section 57 Fish Belly in Red Oil and Others

Red oil is of course chili oil. The E people’s method is to put cooking oil, add chili powder and sesame seeds, and fry the two as the oil heats up. The oil is spicy and fragrant, and then put it in a bottle. It is directly fried in red oil, and its spiciness is also high, which makes spicy lovers look forward to red and salivate.There are also chili powder and sesame seeds that are eaten directly, so when frying the two things, an appropriate proportion of salt should be put in. There are two types of fish belly that are suitable for red oil production.One is fresh fish belly, the live fish has been killed, and now they all draw the word xian, thinking that eating fresh is the most beautiful way to eat, but it is not the case. The fishy smell is gone, and the rest is the generous and peaceful smell of the fish itself, which has a soft feeling when eaten.The method of fresh fish belly is like this. Three to five catties of river carp are killed, the fish belly meat is taken, marinated overnight, hung on the balcony until it is half dry, cut into pieces and placed in a porcelain bowl, the fish belly is arranged, poured Soak in red oil for about three days. After soaking in red oil into the belly of the fish, you can fry it in a pan.Fried fish belly in red oil, because the red oil has been immersed in it, usually there is no need to use a lot of oil, fry until both sides are burnt, serve with ginger, garlic, carrot shreds and fermented soybeans, add water and simmer for a while, take it out of the pan, eat this fish belly The taste is soft and warm, it feels like the freshness of new green leaves on an old tree in a cloudy and cloudy time.The other is salted fish belly. Salted fish belly is the belly of big carp or grass carp marinated. Amber like rosin.The salted fish belly itself is dry, so cut it into pieces and put it in a bottle, soak it in red oil. After about a week, the fish belly turns red from the outside to the inside, and it is as red as the heavenly fragrance of chili oil.Fry with a slow fire until both sides are golden brown, then it’s ready to cook, take it back to steam, you can use shredded garlic and carrots to accompany it, after steaming, return to the pot and add water to simmer, use cooking wine, pepper oil, Stir-fry the green garlic again, and when the pot is removed, a fish belly in red oil is done.

The above-mentioned method of soaking fish belly in red oil can be widely used in the production of other dishes, such as dried sea fish. silk, soaked in red oil, used to steam pork meat, and silkworm chrysalis can also be soaked in red oil, I think there are many possibilities, such as drying eel segments, soaking in red oil, and then wrapping them Steamed meat and rice noodles are made into red oil powder and steamed eel section. It is a very elegant seafood dish. If it is reversed, fresh fish belly in red oil can also be steamed. I think of one thing that is soaked in red oil and then fried, it is also an extremely beautiful dish, that is wasp pupa.Wasp pupae are white, and anyone who has seen a hornet's nest has probably seen it. Of course, a hornet's nest cannot be stabbed in the daytime. Only at night, use a long pole to pick a torch, and burn the hornet's nest with fire within the range of the safety factor. The resting wasps were burned immediately, missing wings and broken legs, they fell to the ground one after another, picked the hornet's nest and left.Pick out the wasp pupae from the hornet's nest and soak them in red oil. When they are full of red oil, deep-fry them and stir-fry some green garlic leaves for a while, the fragrance is incomparable.Note by the way: Picking hornets' nests is risky and should be done with caution.
