Chapter 237 Steamed Winter Crab

After eating and drinking enough and resting for half an hour, the group set out on the journey back again, and after driving for more than three hours, they finally reached the dirt road leading to the company, and after continuing to bump for an hour, the off-road vehicle drove to the company. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This dirt road is really uncomfortable, although the air force off-road vehicle is not bad, but it is not easy to be tossed by this road, the company commander and the instructor saw that there was a car coming to the company, and immediately came out of the house.

When he saw Meng Chuan and the first squad leader coming back, the company commander immediately came over and said with concern: "Everyone is okay." ”

Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Everything is fine." ”

The first squad leader smiled: "Company commander, don't worry, Assistant Meng, I have followed your instructions and brought it back safely." ”

The company commander patted the squad leader on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll give you a credit and praise you by name in the evening,"

At this time, the armorer said: "Comrade company commander, I will come and return the weapon, and ask your armoryman to come and receive it." ”

The company commander immediately called the ordnance officer and asked him to hand over the weapons.

The instructor said at this time: "Assistant Meng, I just received an order from my superiors ordering you to rush back to the military headquarters of the group army tomorrow. ”

When Meng Chuan heard the news, he was shocked, "You want to go back so soon?" ”

The instructor thought that Meng Chuan was reluctant to be here, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you are free in the future, you can come to us at any time, but you'd better come in autumn, the fish here can be fat in autumn, and I guarantee that you will eat comfortably." ”

Meng Chuan smiled: "Okay, I will definitely come over when I have time." ”

The company commander said at this time: "Assistant Meng, it's been a bumpy journey, I'm very tired, go to the dormitory to rest for a while, I'll let the cooking class make a good meal, and give you a farewell banquet." ”

Meng Chuan sat in the car for a day, and to be honest, he was not tired, so he said: "I'll also go to the back kitchen to help, anyway, I'm idle now, just let you see how my craftsmanship is." ”

Meng Chuan's craftsmanship, the company commander has seen it, the last time the pot of tofu fish was made by Meng Chuan, although it was a big pot of rice, but it was no worse than a small pot of rice, and it really tasted endless, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, Assistant Meng, let's try your craftsmanship today." ”

The instructor saw that the company commander really asked Meng Chuan to cook, so he hurriedly touched the company commander and said with a smile: "My old partner always likes to joke, Assistant Meng, don't take it seriously, you go to rest first, and when the meal is ready, I will ask the clerk to call you." ”

Meng Chuan saw that the instructor was polite, and said with a smile: "I'm just cooking, cooking is a good job, just when I show you a hand, it's nothing." ”

Then he walked to the back kitchen, and the instructor watched Meng Chuan walk into the cafeteria, and immediately said to the company commander: "Assistant Meng will leave tomorrow, why do you still want to eat other people's cooking." ”

The company commander said with a smile: "I'm leaving, that's why I want to eat, I won't be able to eat in the future, this Assistant Meng really deserves to come down from above, and the cooking level is not good, it is much better than the skills of the people in our cooking class." ”

When the instructor heard the company commander's words, he also agreed: "You said that this Assistant Meng's ability is really not small, those high-end instruments can be fiddled with, not to mention, cooking is so delicious, and he is so young, he is really promising." ”

Meng Chuan came to the back kitchen, and when the cooking squad leader saw it, he exclaimed, "Assistant Meng, are you back?" ”

Meng Chuan smiled: "Well, I just came back, and I have already reported to the company commander and instructor." ”

At this time, after handing over the weapons and locking the door with the ordnance officer, he also came to the kitchen, and when he saw Meng Chuan here, he nodded first, and then said to the cooking squad leader: "The company leader said, I will have a good meal tonight, Assistant Meng will leave tomorrow, we have to get a farewell banquet." ”

The cooking squad leader immediately replied, "Yes." ”

Then he smiled at Meng Chuan, "Assistant Meng, then I'll go and get busy first." ”

Meng Chuan nodded, "Okay." ”

Since you want to give Meng Chuan a farewell banquet, then the characteristics here are indispensable, just in the past two days, I got a lot of aquatic products, such as winter crabs, crayfish or something, plus fish, pork, can definitely make a big table of good dishes.

The cooking squad leader smiled: "Assistant Meng, you can be regarded as a blessing, we got a little crab and crayfish, and we can have a delicious meal tonight." ”

Meng Chuan has never made crayfish and crabs in the barracks, after all, this is the army, and generally can't eat such aquatic products, unless it's the navy, things like this can be eaten every day.

But this is the water source, and the geographical advantages are not to be said, which just allows Meng Chuan to show his hand, Meng Chuan said: "Comrade squad leader, I'll make these crayfish and crabs." ”

The cooking squad leader had also seen Meng Chuan's craftsmanship, nodded and said, "Okay, you can do these two things, I'll get some stir-fried vegetables and cook some fish." ”

Meng Chuan came to the winter crab, scooped up a crab, and said: "Not bad, crabs are fat enough, generally eating crabs are eaten in autumn, there is a good saying that 'the autumn wind rises, crab legs are fat' Autumn crabs are definitely the best time, crabs that can be eaten in winter are generally self-raised, not to mention, the taste is worse than autumn crabs." ”

Being able to see such a fat crab here, it seems that it still has a lot to do with the water source.

Crabs eat on the fresh, generally there are two methods, the first is the most used steaming, the second is boiling, in addition to these two, the other methods, are not very good to make the umami of crabs, Meng Chuan plans to use the steaming method this time to do, this method is simple, and it tastes fresh.

The first step is to wash, crabs are this kind of thing, there are more claws, and there are more fluffs, so you must be careful about cleaning them, although the crabs from the water source here are relatively clean, but you still have to do a good job of cleaning.

There are small brushes in the kitchen, Meng Chuan simply took them over and brushed them, and after cleaning them, they can start steaming in the drawer.

If you want to steam this, Meng Chuan has a good way, which is to cut some ginger and garlic slices first, put them on the steamer, and then put the crabs on one by one and start steaming.

Steam on high heat for fifteen minutes, then simmer for another two minutes, and you're done.

Crabs are easy to steam, but if you want to eat fresher, you have to adjust the sauce, because crabs are cold, so the sauce is best spicy, ginger and garlic foam is essential.

What we eat crab is umami, so the sauce doesn't have to be too complicated, you can put in soy sauce and vinegar, you can also put a little shredded green onion, you don't like to eat green onions, you can leave it out, and then stir evenly.

In fact, many people don't need to make such a sauce when eating crabs, because when steaming crabs, shredded ginger and garlic slices are already added, and more people prefer to dip them in soy sauce or dip them in vinegar and eat them.

Meng Chuan prefers to dip some vinegar directly, because the crab is a bit salty, and when it is dipped in soy sauce, it always feels a little wrong, because the usual soy sauce has a bit of saltiness.

However, there are still many people who like to dip it in sweet soy sauce, and this way of eating it is also very good, and it tastes delicious.

After all, everyone's taste is different, and others you like may not like it, dipping it in soy sauce or vinegar, it still depends on personal taste, so Meng Chuan simply made such a sauce, both soy sauce and vinegar, which is more suitable for most people's tastes. (To be continued.) )
