A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Hearing Wu Lei's exclamation, Li Yi glanced at the whitebait floating up, didn't pay attention, picked it up with his hands, put it on the chopping board, and explained casually: "This is Taihu whitebait, it is relatively delicate, and it will die when it leaves the water. , A lot of people died inside."

Hearing this, Wu Lei looked at the whitebait on the chopping board, only to find that it was turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Eh?"

This scene directly stunned him: "Why did it turn white all of a sudden?"

The whitebait that was in the water just now is still translucent, with a touch of silvery white, very beautiful.

But after being fished out by Li Yi, its body quickly turned snow white, like a boiled egg.

"Normal, just denatured protein."

Li Yi didn't take it seriously, but Wu Lei still didn't understand. He asked in a daze, "What do you mean? The protein is denatured, isn't it denatured after it's cooked? You mean, this fish is cooked?"

"no."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "It's because after it dies, the bioelectrical signals in the body disappear, the regulation mechanism in the body is disrupted, and the protein denatures.

Have you ever seen a freshly caught squid? Live squid come in different colors, some are translucent and even change color.

But once killed, squid often turn white immediately. That is also because after the squid dies, it can no longer control the reflexin protein in the body, resulting in denaturation of the protein and turning it into its original white color.

This is the case with many aquatic creatures, including squid, including the Taishan red scale fish I told you before. There is a legend that it will turn into oil after death. The same is true, protein denaturation. "

Wu Lei half understood what he heard, but he had indeed seen squid that were just caught by fishermen and slaughtered on the spot, and it would indeed turn white instantly as Li Yi said.

While Li Yi was speaking, the whitebait on the chopping board had completely turned pure white, only two eyes were still black, and the rest of the body was white.

The camera faithfully recorded the whole process of discoloration.

Watching this scene and listening to Li Yi's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room were also amazed.

"It's amazing! I heard that silverfish will die and turn white when they come out of the water, but I didn't expect it to change so quickly."

"I have eaten squid sashimi. When the chef slaughtered the squid, it really changed color instantly. It is not an exaggeration at all."

"My family also sells whitebait, but they all sell this kind of dead whitebait, as well as dried whitebait, scrambled eggs with whitebait, and fried leeks are very delicious and fresh."

In front of the camera, Li Yi did not waste the whitebait that had just died.

He took the thinnest kitchen knife, cut the knife from the head of the whitebait, and shaved off the meat on both sides of the whitebait's body.

Seeing his operation, the audience in the live broadcast room reminded him one after another.

"Silver fish don't need to be deboned!"

"Silver fish can be eaten directly, and the bones are soft."

"It's a waste of things! The whole body of the whitebait is full of treasures, and it's too wasteful to actually remove the bones!"

Li Yi could see the audience's barrage, he kept his hands in his hands, and explained: "I know whitebait can be eaten directly, but I want to make fish flakes, so I must use clean meat.

The bones of whitebait are very soft, and you can hardly eat them, but if you smash them into puree to make petals, it will still have a grainy feel, and the eyes on its head will also affect the color, so it is better to keep only the clean meat. "

Hearing what he said, the audience felt relieved and turned their attention to his saber skills.

The whitebait in Li Yi's hand was only as thick as chopsticks and about seven centimeters long, so it was hard to hold it with hands.

But under Li Yi's blade, the whitebait's flesh was shaved off with only two left and right cuts.

Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room was full of barrage.

"Brother Yi's saber technique is beyond words, it's too strong."

"As expected of a man who can shred tofu!"

"Looking at the real decompression, is there a big guy who can record a screen and make a pure version. I will watch it as a decompression video before going to bed at night."

"With this knife technique, Brother Yi's circumcision is absolutely fast and accurate."

"???"

After shaving the whitebait meat, Li Yi put it in a small clean bowl.

In the shrimp pot next to it, the shrimps were jumping and splashing.

Seeing this, Li Yi brought over a bottle of Moutai, handed it to Wu Lei, and asked Wu Lei to pour half of the bottle into it.

As the high-alcohol liquor soaked, the shrimps in the basin struggled less and less, and gradually passed away from drunk.

Seeing that the shrimps were no longer struggling, Wu Lei licked his lips and asked, "Brother Yi, are you ready to eat?"

"Do you want to eat?"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't this a drunken shrimp? Can you eat it with some sauce?"

He is from Modu, drunk shrimp is still very common in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Li Yi drunk the shrimp to death for the convenience of peeling the shrimp, but since Wu Lei wanted to eat it, Li Yi didn't refuse.

"Then make your own sauce!"

Li Yi was busy shaving the meat, so he didn't have time to season the sauce for him.

no problem. "

Wu Lei accepted the task enthusiastically, and went to make the sauce.

After making a bowl of sauce with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, chopped green onion and other seasonings, he went back to the counter, picked up some drunken shrimp, put them in the sauce and soaked them.

Then, he took the chopsticks, picked up a drunk shrimp from the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing that he really ate a drunken shrimp into his mouth, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help taking a half step back with a look of horror on his face.

"what?"

Wu Lei sipped the shrimp meat and said with a smile: "This way of eating is very fresh, you try it?"

"No no no! Come on your own!"

Zhao Jinmai waved his hands again and again: "I can't eat it, aren't you afraid of parasites?"

"This kind of shrimp is generally fine, and it can be sterilized after being soaked in high-grade wine."

Wu Lei was still persuading: "It's really delicious, just try it and you'll know."

"Eat it yourself, I really can't eat it."

Zhao Jinmai refused to try anyway.

She could see that some of the prawns in the feeding bowl were not completely dead, and their whiskers and legs were still moving. It was too scary to eat them raw.

But Wu Lei didn't take it seriously: "My hometown often eats like this. When adults drink, they like to order a plate of drunken shrimp, especially with wine."

"let me try!"

Huang Xiaoming was curious, stepped forward to pick up the chopsticks, and picked up a drunken shrimp, intending to taste it.

He is from a coastal city, so he is more accepting of eating raw seafood.

But just as he was about to put the drunken shrimp into his mouth, the drunken dead shrimp bounced back like a flash of light.

Snapped!

"Ouch!"

Drunken Shrimp was covered with sauce, and with a sudden flick, it bounced towards Huang Xiaoming's face.

Huang Xiaoming was caught off guard, and the sauce was directly thrown into his eyes.

"Brother Ming, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Wu Lei was taken aback, and hurried forward to ask with concern.

There is chili oil in the sauce, as well as balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, which are still irritating to the eyes.

Huang Xiaoming didn't speak, but hurried to the side of the vegetable sink, with one eye closed, fumbled for the faucet, turned on the faucet, and rinsed his eyes.

After a lot of busy work, he finally washed his eyes clean.

Returning to the desk again, looking at the drunken shrimp in the bowl, he couldn't help shivering, and didn't have the courage to try again.
