Dagui had a look of disdain on his face. Even when the other three children gathered around and discussed how to eat the crayfish, he did not move at all.
In his opinion, it would be better to cook a few pieces of meat with such a good soup!
Looking at the appearance of this little demonic beast, it was bright red, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, and had a layer of shell. He believed that the sect master's cooking skills were good, but he absolutely did not believe that this little demonic beast could be delicious!
Chen Muxue did not pay much attention to the children's situation because she was going to make garlic crayfish next.
She first separated more than half of the minced garlic and washed it with water. This was to wash away the starch in this part of the minced garlic so that it wouldn't burn easily.
If the garlic was burnt, it would be really bitter. It only needed to be placed in a filter spoon to drain it naturally, and there was no need to squeeze the water.
Then, she cut a little millet pepper and pickled pepper to add some flavor, then removed the fishy smell with green onion and ginger.
She took a portion of the oil left from and fried the filtered garlic first. Soon, the slightly red oil turned into an alluring golden color, and the aroma of the garlic floated out.
Compared to the numbing spiciness just now, the taste of this stir-fried garlic could be said to be much softer.
At this time, she stir-fried the ginger, pickled pepper, and millet together, and the simple garlic fragrance was instantly dyed with a hint of an alluring flavor.
After the deep-fried crayfish was stir-fried well, wine and water were added. The garlic crayfish could originally be completely cooked with beer, but it didn't exist in this world. They could only be cooked with a mixture of wine and water. The wine here was heavier than the wine in the spicy crayfish.
Actually, many people who had never chosen garlic crayfish would not think that it was delicious. After all, crayfish was a species that grew in the mud and had a fishy smell. It was hard to imagine the taste without using spiciness to cover it up and only using pungent garlic.
In fact, the taste of the garlic crayfish came first from the garlic, then from the wine. In addition, the taste of the garlic was completely different from that of raw garlic. After being carefully boiled, the cooked garlic would peel off the pungent smell of raw garlic, leaving only the fragrance.
Chen Muxie added salt and soy sauce and cooked it over medium heat for about ten minutes. She didn't cover the pot for this step. First, she wanted to let the alcohol in it evaporate. Second, the garlic crayfish juice needed to be thick for it to taste good. She didn't cover the pot to save some effort in collecting the juice.
Ten minutes later, she added sugar, vinegar, and unwashed fresh garlic. After the fresh garlic was cooked, she could stir-fry it and collect the juice.
After collecting the juice, some sesame oil and pepper could be added. It depended on one's taste, and Chen Muxue liked to add it.
After it was taken out of the pot, it was sprinkled with green onions. The red crayfish was wrapped in golden garlic soup and slightly dotted with green onions. From the looks of it, it did look better than the pot of spicy crayfish.
For people who couldn't handle spiciness, garlic crayfish was the perfect choice.
Such alluring colors immediately attracted the attention of the children who were watching the spicy crayfish.
"Let's go to the dining hall."
The group of children cheered as they followed behind Chen Muxue. Only Dagui was unhappy. He felt that he was going to go hungry tonight. He definitely wouldn't like to eat this kind of little demonic beast!
After Chen Muxue taught the children how to eat the crayfish, Xiaohua impatiently reached out and took a garlic crayfish. As she smacked it, the delicious soup instantly stimulated her taste buds. Her eyes lit up. Although she did not know the main points of eating crayfish, when she bit the shell at such a young age, it made a cracking sound. Chen Muxue was willing to call her a merciless shell-breaking machine.
"What's wrong, Dagui? Try it. It's delicious." Chen Muxue considered the fact that the child did not know how to eat spicy food, so she picked up a bowl with garlic crayfish for Dagui.
