Although grape fish requires more than five kilograms of herring, the actual amount used is not much. It is the essence of the fish, and the rest can be used for other dishes.

For example, Lin Xu plans to cook fish belly and yuba together to make fish belly and yuba stew.

Shen Jiayue asked:

"Why not use the belly part? I think the meat here is the most delicious. It is soft and slippery, and is more delicious than the meat on the back."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Grape fish requires the grapes to be in a radial shape, so that they are close to the shape of grapes. The belly part of the fish is too soft and cannot be branched. Even if it is fried, it is still soft and does not look like grapes, so it needs to be cut off."<

Cut the fish fillets and marinate them in onion, ginger, salt water and light soy sauce. This kind of batter-fried fish is not suitable for cooking wine, because after the batter is wrapped, the flavor of the cooking wine will not easily come out, which will affect the final taste.

After marinating, marinate the ingredients for boiled fish, and prepare the fish heads and tails for decoration when placing the sweet and sour fish fillets.

When everything was ready, he brought over the remaining herring meat, cut off the soft belly first, then placed the fish meat on the chopping board and began to cut the red carp.

In order to look closer to grapes in appearance, the fish should be cut according to the shape of the grape bunches.

That is to say, there are more grapes on the top and fewer grapes on the bottom. The grapes on the top are bigger and the grapes on the bottom are smaller.

Such requirements lead to the fact that during the process of changing the knife, the distance between the knife edges must always change, which is also a difficulty in the entire production process of grape fish.

As long as the presentation is in place, other aspects will be easier.

With the skin of the fish facing down, use a kitchen knife to slit the fish diagonally. The spacing will be 2.5cm at the beginning, and the spacing will become shorter towards the tail of the fish.

When you get to the bottom, the distance even shortens to one centimeter.

After cutting in this step, change the direction and cut at a 90-degree angle to the previous cutting edge, so that the cuts on the fish form oblique squares.

Shen Jiayue was currently taking pictures of the pig's feet and ginger that were still being stewed. She turned her face and saw Lin Xu cutting it diagonally, and asked curiously:

"I see on the Internet that the knife is cut straight, why are you doing it diagonally?"

Lin Xu said while cutting:

"Because normal grapes are staggered one by one, not straight. And if they are slanted like this, when wrapped in bread crumbs, they will visually look closer to a circle. If they are straight, they will look like small squares when wrapped in bread crumbs.

."

The knife for grape fish needs to be cut close to the skin. The deeper the knife edge, the more bread crumbs can be wrapped in it, so that the round shape can be closer to the grape.

"I feel like this is fake. Would it be okay if I cut the fish into small balls and then put them on the plate?"

Shen Jiayue’s diners want to take advantage of opportunities.

As long as this method works, she can start with a ball digger and dig out small balls one by one. This can save a lot of trouble.

Lin Xu shook his head:

"It's okay to do this for Western food, but if you do it for Chinese food, your colleagues will laugh at you. Also, raw fish is in the shape of a ball, but after frying, it won't necessarily be... fish will shrink just like pork."

Shen Jiayue didn't expect that her plan would go bankrupt before she could implement it, and she pouted helplessly:

"That's great..."

Lin Xu put the onion and ginger salt water, pepper water, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and other condiments into the fish to marinate it.

Dark soy sauce is added to color the fish, which will be closer to the color of grapes after frying.

After marinating the fish, he washed his hands, looked at the stewed pig's feet and ginger in the pot and said:

"It feels like it's almost done. Let's take a photo of this dish first. After taking the photo, we'll start making the grape fish."

"Oh, okay, I'll get ready."

The young couple was busy when Chen Yan walked in holding her waist:

"You are going to be elders. The red envelopes are ready, but you can't let my children be wronged."

Shen Jiayue looked at her like a fool:

"Are you too dramatic? I haven't been holding my waist for ten days. No one who is nine months pregnant and about to give birth can walk like you..."

Chen Yan immediately put down her hand and said helplessly:

"My parents were so nervous that they even covered my head when we got out of the car, worried that I would catch the cold... I figured out that those who suffer from depression during pregnancy are mostly caused by this kind of excessive concern."

Shen Jiayue was anxious to take a video, waved to her and said:

"Young lielie, hurry up and help us take the photo. We need to take pictures of the cooking and tasting of the pig's feet and ginger. Don't waste your time. I'll make grape fish for you after I finish filming this."

Chen Yan originally wanted to complain to her cousin and brother-in-law and show off her feelings after pregnancy. When she heard about grape fish, she immediately returned to her previous lively style:

"Come on, let me see how pig's feet and ginger are, if they are suitable for a beautiful girl like me who gets married early and gets pregnant early."

"It's not suitable. The skin of pig's feet is not as thick-skinned as yours."

"Gungungun, I know you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."

The two sisters finished their bickering and started recording Pig Knuckle Ginger.

Lin Xu said to the camera:

"The pig's trotters and ginger have been simmered for two hours and are almost ready to eat. I will serve them first and let the food expert next to me taste them to see if they are satisfied."

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"Then I will reluctantly give you some advice."

Lin Xu placed the heat-insulating mat on the workbench, turned off the fire on the stove, then put the casserole on the workbench with a rag, and opened the lid of the casserole.

As soon as I opened it, a meaty aroma mixed with a strong ginger flavor wafted out of the pot.

Shen Jiayue took a sip and confirmed that it was the smell she liked.

Before getting married, I could not avoid the smell of ginger, but after getting married, I became obsessed with it. This may be the power of love.

When the steam dissipated, she saw that the pig's trotters, eggs, turmeric and even elbows in the pot had all turned black. The sweet vinegar that had been poured in before had also become very viscous, like freshly boiled black syrup. .

The casserole has good heat retention. The soup is still sizzling at this moment, and the pig's trotters and elbow meat are also trembling. Many bones have been exposed. It is obvious that the meat has been deboned.

Under normal circumstances, pig's trotters stewed in water will never reach this level.

But the pig's trotters and ginger are stewed in sweet vinegar. Vinegar itself has the effect of softening the meat. Adding such a large amount without adding a drop of water makes the cooking effect naturally extraordinary.

"Wow, the color is so beautiful and it looks delicious."

Shen Jiayue said with some surprise, becoming even more admiring for this delicious dish.

Chen Yan, who came over to take a close-up, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, feeling that the taste was indeed very tempting.

Normally, baby Yan, who is thinking about losing weight, would naturally not dare to eat such high-sugar and high-fat foods. But now that she is pregnant, she can no longer just think about herself, she has to think about her baby.

Failure to keep up with nutrition will be very detrimental to the development of the fetus.

However, overnutrition is not allowed. If the fetus is too fat, the only option is a caesarean section.

After the close-up shooting, Lin Xu took a small wooden spoon and took two pieces of pig trotters, an elbow meat, a piece of turmeric, and an egg from the pot. He also scooped out a little thick soup and handed it to Shen Jiayue:

"Try it and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"Yes! You didn't call me baby~~~~~"

Chen Yan:?????????

It’s already this time, could you please stop being such a jerk and finish filming quickly so I can take a bite!

Shen Jiayue held the bowl and smelled it first, then picked up a piece of pig's trotters, blew on it, and then put it into her mouth for a taste.

The moment you enter the mouth, sweetness, slight sourness and strong ginger flavor pour into your mouth. It feels like eating braised pig's trotters with ginger candy.

It's a little weird, but it's really delicious.

Especially the pig's trotters, which are soft yet elastic, and paired with the spicy syrup, it's a real pleasure to eat!

"Wow, it's super delicious, very delicious, sweet and spicy. I feel like my skin has improved as soon as I took one bite."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Don't be so exaggerated. Netizens thought I put some contraband when they saw it."

He took a piece of ginger and took a bite. He felt that turmeric was indeed different from ginger, and it actually didn't taste bad.

It’s no wonder that Cantonese people put so much ginger in making pork trotters and ginger. The spiciness is all in the soup. The texture and taste of turmeric are actually much better.

The young couple started eating in front of the camera and even forgot to say a word.

Chen Yan, who was immersed in the joy of pregnancy, quit immediately when she saw it.

Okay, on my first day as an expectant mother, you just treat me like a cow and a horse, right? Strike, strike, quit!

She said:

"No more pictures, no more pictures, I'm so jealous."

After saying that, he turned off the camera, rushed to the workbench, picked up the egg in Shen Jiayue's bowl with chopsticks, and ate it happily...
