God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts
Chapter 582: Making Oyster Sauce
I made dinner with coconut oil yesterday and it was a success as expected, with unanimous praise from everyone.
They must have thought that they would have coconut-flavored dishes for today’s meal.
However, Li Heng has always been free to choose dishes, so how could he let others guess his thoughts?
There were some sudden impulses that even Li Heng himself could not control.
For example, now, when Li Heng was checking the situation in the beast-controlling bag, he accidentally saw schools of sardines swimming past him.
He was planning to do something fancy, and these sardines just happened to give him some inspiration.
"Hehehe~ Let's have Stargazing Pie for lunch. It's such a happy decision!"
This famous dish originally came from the British Empire on Earth, a place known as a food desert.
I don’t know what the mental state of the first person who invented this dish was at that time.
Also, he was really curious, would the Stargazing Pie, which was called the dark cuisine, really be as unpalatable as rumored?
Li Heng was immersed in his own world, but the next moment he was pulled back to reality by the two little ones.
"Xiao Chi, run!"
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Li Heng's evil smile, she felt something was wrong and pulled Xiao Chi back a few feet away.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao did not forget Xiaochi this time, and their sisterhood was maintained.
"What are you two running for?"
Li Heng put away his smile and looked at the two little ones in the distance with confusion. It was really puzzling as he clearly did nothing.
"Hehe~ Brother Li Heng, stop pretending! You're planning to trick people again, right?"
“I saw you smiling just now!”
Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Li Heng very vigilantly, fearing that she would be fooled if she was not careful.
"This time it's all thanks to the young lady!"
After Xiao Chi next to him figured out the situation, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and cast a grateful look at Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I'm thinking about something, I don't have time to entertain you guys!"
Li Heng shook his head and talked to the two kids absentmindedly. He had already started thinking about the ingredients that would be used later and how to prepare the dish.
"The more you say this, the less we will believe it. Brother Li Heng, you'd better stop it!"
The two little ones took a few steps back while talking.
"Tsk! If you don't believe it, forget it!"
Li Heng decided to start taking care of his own things and ignore them for the time being.
But it was less than an hour since they finished breakfast, so it was too early to make lunch.
In that case, let’s do something else to pass the time!
The sand crab juice made yesterday was still fermenting. Li Heng went over to check it out and it was in good condition and had not deteriorated.
But you have to wait at least half a day before you can taste it.
After thinking for a moment, Li Heng finally found something that he could do now.
When he cooked before, he was always missing one condiment: oyster sauce.
Although this thing has the word "oil" in its name, it actually does not contain oil, just like soy sauce.
The raw material for making oyster sauce is oysters. Although some oysters were consumed during the beach barbecue a few days ago, Li Heng still had a lot of them.
It is just right for making oyster sauce.
After coming up with the idea, Li Heng immediately started to put it into practice. He took out a basket of oysters in shells from his beast bag, weighing about thirty or forty kilograms.
The first thing to do is to pry open the shells of the oysters one by one and take out only the meat inside.
The two little ones stood on guard for a long time, only to find that they were on guard in vain.
Finally, the two came to a conclusion that Brother Li Heng’s target this time might not be them.
After putting their minds at ease, the two little ones came up to Li Heng with a grin on their faces and started helping him with the work.
After removing the oyster shells, there are still five or six pounds of meat left. I don’t know how much oyster sauce can be made from this oyster meat.
The freshly opened oyster meat will inevitably have some impurities on the surface and needs to be washed with water.
To wash it more thoroughly, you can add a little salt and flour to the water.
The washed oyster meat does not need to be drained, but put directly into the pot.
Simmer over low heat to extract the oyster juice, which is the main component of oyster sauce.
After five minutes, oyster juice began to appear in the pot. At this time, it could be observed with the naked eye that the volume of the oyster meat had decreased slightly.
During the cooking process, stir the oysters with a spoon from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the pot.
After one stick of incense has passed, the size of the oysters no longer decreases and the oyster juice in the pot begins to decrease.
This means that the oysters in the pot have been "squeezed dry" and the oyster meat can be scooped out with a colander.
Although they have lost their value for making oil, don't rush to throw them away. You can still keep them and eat them.
Continue to use low heat to thicken the oyster juice, then serve and filter out the impurities.
Scrub the pot clean and make sure there is not a drop of grease in it. After setting up the pot, add a bowl of sugar and a bowl of water and simply fry the sugar color.
The purpose of frying sugar color here is to color the oyster sauce. If you find it troublesome, you can use soy sauce instead.
It should be noted that even if you choose soy sauce, white sugar must be added.
After the sugar juice in the pot turns dark red, pour in the oyster juice.
The oyster juice is still hot at this time, so the sugar color will not crystallize or splash out.
Next, add two spoons of salt to the pot for seasoning, because oyster juice tastes very fresh.
To make the oyster sauce more viscous, you can add an appropriate amount of starch water.
Continue to simmer over low heat, stirring with chopsticks as it simmers. When the oyster juice thickens, turn off the heat and continue stirring to let it cool down quickly.
Prepare a clean container and filter the oyster juice one last time, as there may be a small amount of undissolved starch particles in it.
After about half an hour of tossing and turning, Li Heng finally got a small can of homemade oyster sauce without any additives. Unexpectedly! There are also pictures for making a condiment ( ̄︶ ̄)↗ Perhaps because the ingredients are relatively simple, the oyster sauce made by Li Heng himself is somewhat different from the one he bought in the supermarket.
The ones I made myself are obviously lighter in color, and there is a faint fishy smell if you smell it up close.
Just looking and smelling is definitely not enough. If Li Heng doesn't taste it himself, he can't guarantee whether the oyster sauce he made is real oyster sauce.
Dip a little with clean chopsticks and put it in your mouth. The rich oyster flavor will instantly fill your entire mouth.
The taste is very delicious. In Xiao Chi’s words, it’s the taste of the sea.
"Um, Brother Li Heng..."
If you dare to eat in front of the two little ones, you must be prepared to be asked for your food.
"No! You guys wronged me before."
Li Heng interrupted Xiao Chi, turned around and pretended to ignore her.
"Hehe, Brother Li Heng, don't be so stingy! What's more, we helped you with work before. Even if we didn't get any credit, we still worked hard, right?"
Xiao Chi walked around to Li Heng again, staring at the jar in Li Heng's arms and swallowing his saliva.
