MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 243 【Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly】

  Chapter 243 [Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly]

  Looking at the three dishes in front of Li Yi, the vice president and the judges didn't speak for a while.

  The difficulty of these three dishes is much higher than that required by ordinary exams.

  According to their regulations, the test takers will burn a puffer fish according to the traditional method and eat it by themselves. If there is no abnormal reaction, they will pass the test.

  But Li Yi didn't cook according to the traditional method at all. His three dishes can almost be regarded as innovative and creative dishes.

After exchanging glances, the vice president looked at Li Yi and seriously reminded: "The skin of the leopard-print pufferfish is poisonous. Although you can remove part of it by soaking it in alkaline water, no one can guarantee whether there will be any residual poison. You I think there is still some danger in using cold salad, so you should think about it carefully, whether you want to eat it or not."

   "Thank you."

  Li Yi thanked him first.

  He knew that they were thinking about his safety.

  However, he was more confident in his skills, so he smiled and said, "Since I came to take the exam, of course I have to finish it, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of time?

  I am confident in my craft and I am willing to try my dishes myself. "

   Seeing what he said, the vice president and several judges couldn't say anything more.

   "Then please!"

  The vice president raised his hand to signal.

  Seeing this, Li Yi took a pair of chopsticks and went towards the cold puffer fish wallet.

   Behind, Zhao Jinmai turned to look at Liu Yifei.

   It was Liu Yifei who was holding her hand, and suddenly increased his strength, which hurt her a little.

  But Liu Yifei didn't notice, she looked at Li Yi nervously, her eyes full of worry.

  In the live broadcast room at this time, the audience became a little nervous.

   "No, there is no need to fight like this?"

   "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

   "I'm a little afraid to watch it."

   "Why don't we forget it? Can't we just make non-toxic ones?"

  Li Yi couldn't see the barrage in the live broadcast room. He just held the chopsticks and stirred the shredded puffer fish skin with ingredients and seasonings on the plate with great interest.

  While stirring, he casually introduced: "Puffer fish is thicker and more resilient than other common fish of the same size.

  But the skin of pufferfish with leopard print contains tetrodotoxin, and its scientific name is 4-epitetrodotoxin.

  Its physiological toxicity is weaker than tetrodotoxin TTX, which is slightly toxic, but if it is not handled cleanly, it will still cause discomfort to the human body and even cause life-threatening.

   Tetrodotoxin is a colorless needle-like crystal, which is easily soluble in dilute acetic acid, so I just added vinegar when washing, which can wash away most of the 4-epi tetrodotoxin in the puffer fish skin.

  The nature of tetrodotoxin is unstable to alkali, so I prepared a 4% alkali solution and soaked it for 20 minutes.

  After this treatment, the toxins in these puffer fish skins have been completely cleaned up, and you can eat them with confidence. "

  While speaking, he had already stirred the shredded fugu skin evenly, and the roots were covered with seasoning sauce, full of elasticity.

  Listening to his words, the nervous expressions of the vice president and several judges eased a lot.

   No wonder he is not afraid of being poisoned. It turns out that he has thoroughly studied the tetrodotoxin!

  Li Yi picked up a pinch of puffer fish skin mixed with shredded **** and green onion, and put it into his mouth.

   Chewing lightly, Li Yi nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The taste is very good, crisp and elastic, retaining some toughness, very chewy, and goes well with wine."

  Hearing what he said, the vice president and several judges all changed their expressions, and they were a little moved for a while.

   Should I say it or not, this cold puffer fish skin looks really good!

  But none of them spoke. Now is the exam time, and they have to play the role of examiner well.

  Besides, it will take a certain amount of time for the tetrodotoxin to take effect. Whether Li Yi has cleaned it up or not is yet to be determined.

   But in the live broadcast room, the audience watched Li Yi's chopsticks after chopsticks, eating deliciously, and everyone was speechless.

   "Brother Yi, this is too fierce, isn't it?"

   "This is really not afraid of death!"

   "Brother Yi is too confident!"

   "That's called Yigao people's boldness!"

  Seeing Li Yi eating happily, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help swallowing.

   For a while, she was even a little envious of Li Yi, this dish was too exciting!

  Liu Yifei's hands loosened a little, but she was still a little worried, and stared at Li Yi closely.

  Li Yi was still eating the fish skin, and after eating several mouthfuls, he stopped his hands unsatisfied.

   "Let's eat later!"

  He said something with a smile, and came to the side of [Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly].

  The wine fire on the plate has been extinguished, and the fugu meat is slightly cooked under the high-grade liquor.

  The thinner parts on both sides of the fish fillet have been rolled up and stretched out into the air, like a butterfly spreading its wings.

   "This is a dish made with pork."

  Li Yi pulled the plate to the center and explained: "The meat of the leopard pufferfish is not poisonous, but for safety reasons, I still cleaned it strictly.

  However, vinegar will affect the quality of the meat, so I chose high-alcohol liquor for cleaning.

  Dilute acetic acid and alcohol solution are the only two solvents that can dissolve tetrodotoxin, so high-concentration liquor can also wash away tetrodotoxin.

  And high-grade liquor itself is also a seasoning that is very suitable for cooking, so I used high-grade liquor for cooking and made this dish. "

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish and showed it in front of the camera: "This dish is called Zhuang Zhou Mengdie. I cut the fish into symmetrical shapes and roasted it with a flame of high-grade liquor. It will form this special shape."

  Looking at the close-up of the fish fillet in front of the camera, the audience in the live broadcast room started to discuss curiously.

   "It really looks alike at close range!"

   "Absolutely!"

   "It's so beautiful! It's so creative!"

   "I want to eat it just looking at it!"

   "This fish fillet is really thin, no wonder it is cooked with alcohol."

   "Real butterflies aren't so pretty, are they? It's crystal clear and should taste delicious."

  Looking at the close-up camera, Li Yi joked with a smile: "How about it? Are you greedy? You can't eat it, only I can eat it."

   As he spoke, he dipped in the sauce bowl and put the fish fillet into his mouth.

   "O livestock!"

  The audience in the live broadcast room was filled with righteous indignation.

  Li Yi smiled and chewed the fish fillet lightly, very satisfied.

   The extremely tender fish fillets have a touch of crispness, and the entrance is Q-bomb.

  The savory sauce enhances the flavor of the fish fillet itself, and also reflects the sweetness of the fish fillet itself.

"delicious."

  He explained to the camera: "The taste is very similar to very tender and tender pickled fish fillets, but the meat is much more delicate, and the taste is different, it will be fresher, understand what I mean?"

  Listening to his description, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't stand it anymore.

   "Ah! Whether it's poisonous or not! Let me have a bite!"

   "People try their best to eat fugu, but I can't eat it even if I try my best!"

   "Understood! The pickled fish has been ordered and will be delivered in 45 minutes."

   "I'm so hungry! Mom! I want to eat fish!"

   Tasting the fish fillets carefully, after eating three slices in a row, Li Yicai looked at the puffer fish liver in the wine cup.

   Seeing that he was going to attack the puffer fish liver, the vice president and several judges became nervous again.

  Compared with the liver, the poison of puffer fish skin and meat is negligible.

  From the cleaning time of Li Yi, it can be seen that he cleaned the liver the longest and most carefully.

   But even though he had cleaned it so carefully, the vice president and the judges were still a little worried, and even the boss Changshun had a trace of worry on his face.

  The temperature of the alcohol fire is too low, and there is no way to roast the fugu liver until it is fully cooked.

  This fugu liver can be said to be in a half-cooked state, and the most central part may even be a little raw.

   This is almost the same as eating raw.

  Even in the Changshun Fugu restaurant, most of the time when making fugu liver, it is fried at high temperature until fully cooked.

  But this time, Li Yi actually wanted to eat half-cooked puffer fish liver!

   This is too scary!
