Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 262 Innovation
[Renewal of leave in May]

"Let's do it one by one, try adding snake orchid grass first."

Qin Lang opened the big bag on the table and took out one of the three small bags inside.

In that bag was a spice that looked like a dried flower, with petals that were slender and curved like a snake curling up its body.

This spice has a dark purple appearance and a citrus-like aroma that can be smelled when it is brought close to the nose.

This is Snake Orchid, a spice that does not exist on Earth but is quite common in this world.

Qin Lang's own understanding of it quickly emerged in Qin Lang's mind.

Snake Orchid, mild in nature, slightly sour, with citrus smell.

Add it to the cooking process of crabmeat…

In the blink of an eye, Qin Lang already had an idea.

"Remove the crabs first." He handed over the hairy crabs that had been steamed under accelerated cooking to Danbao, and he started to heat up the oil.

Danbao has a high level of proficiency in removing crabs. While the oil is hot, the hairy crabs have been split into crab roe, crab paste, crab meat and crab shell.

Adding crab shells into the hot oil, Qin Lang took the lead in frying and boiling the crab oil.

For this step, which has already been done with ease, the cooking speed is used again, and the hot oil in the pot changes from the original golden yellow to an attractive bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye under low heat.

After taking out the crab shells, Qin Lang picked up about ten snake orchids and sautéed them with the minced ginger that was supposed to be used in frying the crab powder.

With the sound of "stinging" oil, the strange fragrance erupted under the stimulation of the hot oil, and rushed towards the face with the rising heat.

Qin Lang and his two little eyes lit up at the same time.

They have worked together to fry crab noodles many times, and they are already familiar with each cooking step and the taste of the corresponding semi-finished product.

After adding snake orchid, the taste is completely different from adding only minced ginger before!
The scent of ginger is mixed with hints of citrus, and at the same time there is another strange fragrance looming.

The taste of snake orchid is only close to citrus, and as a spice, it naturally has its own unique taste.

Recognizing this delicate fragrance, Qin Lang couldn't help but smile on his face.

He is no stranger to this scent.

Although he has never added this spice to his cooking, among the many local delicacies Qin Lang tasted in the past, the taste of this spice appeared quite often.

I don't know what kind of changes the taste of snake orchid will bring to the crab noodles after the crab noodles are completely cooked.

After sautéing until fragrant, Qin Lang quickly fished out the shriveled and completely black snake orchid and fried ginger on the surface, and then added crab roe and crab paste.

Considering that the snake orchid itself is slightly acidic, Qin Lang reduced the amount of vinegar in the process of frying crab noodles, and the other steps were exactly the same as normal crab noodles.

Soon, a crab meal that seemed unchanged on the surface came out of the oven.

But smelling the vaguely extra scent from the crab powder, Qin Lang knew that the taste of this crab powder must be different from the original version.

"Taste it." Qin Lang dressed up and handed it to the two little ones, and then began to taste it himself.

The next moment, the eyes of one person and two spirits lit up at the same time.

The two cubs ate the delicacies cooked by Qin Lang every day, and their tastes have long been cultivated, and they have unknowingly developed a strong ability to appreciate food.

As a chef, Qin Lang also has no shortage of this aspect.

They quickly noticed the difference between the modified crab powder and the original version.

"It's a bit like orange stuffed with crab?" Qin Lang asked thoughtfully after tasting it.

Citrus and crab go well together, as evidenced by the Crab Stuffed Oranges.

At this moment, the citrus scent of the snake orchid is completely integrated into the crab powder, which naturally adds a unique sweetness to the crab powder. This sweetness complements the deliciousness of the crab itself, making the crab powder more appetizing.

But there are also big differences.

The scent of snake orchid itself plays a very interesting role in this process. It is like a glue, which makes the two different flavors more closely combined, and at the same time gives the crab powder a strange aftertaste.

With its help, the taste of crab powder has really improved a small level.

If you want to use flavor value to quantify, this wave is at least +5 flavor value.

"Let's try the remaining two spices!" Seeing that Ms. Ye Zangqing's suggestion can really improve the taste of crab powder, Qin Lang couldn't wait.

Soon, one person and two spirits became busy again.

Kentseed is a kind of special spice with dark red color and a shape similar to sesame, but its actual taste is very different from sesame, and it is somewhat similar to peppercorns. fragrant.

Add it to the crab powder for a slightly spicy taste.

There is a feeling of changing from crab powder to spicy crab.

But after tasting it, Qin Lang had to admit that it was really delicious with rice.

As long as the amount of unique spicy is appropriate, it will not destroy the deliciousness of crab noodles. The numb taste is also a must for diners who like spicy food.

Although it is a bit unorthodox to make crab noodles spicy, and there are few spicy flavors in the local dishes it belongs to, but Qin Lang in another world said that he is the mainstream!
As for the wooden crab fight, it brought Qin Lang another surprise.

This is a lumpy spice with a bright red appearance. At first glance, it really looks like a steamed crab body.

And its taste is equally strange, somewhat like a mixture of sweet ginger and chopped pepper.

Mince it like ginger and add it to the crab oil to saute until fragrant. This taste will undergo some wonderful changes. When it blends with the aroma of the crab itself, there is a transformation of one plus one greater than two.

In the case of adding one of the spices alone, the deliciousness brought by the wooden crab bucket is the biggest!
After trying the three spices, Qin Lang's work was not yet finished.

He still needs to try the effects of combining these spices in pairs, and finally see if he can use the three spices at the same time...

It wasn't until the electric bell rang again, the communication phase was over, and the third operation of the night was about to start, that Qin Lang recovered from his frenzied study.

It's a bit of a shame that snake orchid doesn't work well with the other two spices.

After its own taste collides with the spicy taste, there is a feeling of losing both sides, and they cannot coexist.

However, kenaf seeds and wooden crab buckets can be paired.

The former is mainly spicy, and the latter is also slightly spicy.

After the two spices are compounded, the taste can be sublimated again.

So it's obvious how Qin Lang should choose.

He is going to embark on the road of no return for crab noodles and spicy food!
After confirming the spices to be matched, Qin Lang also tried some ratios, and now he has figured out the ratio of the two spices.

It may not be the best, but it is also the limit of what he can do in a short time.

Looking at the approaching cruise ship in the sunset, Qin Lang showed an expectant expression.

I don't know how the diners will feel when they taste the new crab noodles.
