At this point, Zhao Jing had already removed all the shrimp veins from the prawns.
Su Wantang poured a little rapeseed oil she had taken from her spatial storage into the pot. After the oil was hot, she added ginger and garlic to sauté until fragrant, then added the prawns and stir-fried them.
The shrimp shells quickly turned red, and a rich, fresh aroma instantly filled the air.
Su Wantang added a little cooking wine and seafood soy sauce, stir-fried it quickly for a few seconds, and then took it out of the pan.
A plate of braised prawns, with a bright red color and an enticing aroma.
"It smells so good!" Zhao Jing continued preparing the seafood, smelling the rich aroma coming from the kitchen, and looked at Su Wantang incredulously. "Just the smell is enough to make my mouth water! It must taste amazing!"
"Then Sister Zhao should have a good taste later," Su Wantang said with a light laugh.
"Our family is in for a treat today," Zhao Jing said with a smile, swallowing hard.
By this time, Zhao Jing had already cleaned the sea bass, removing all its internal organs and leaving no blood.
Su Wantang plans to cook that sea bass in the most classic way: steamed fish.
Make a few cuts on both sides of the fish, stuff it with ginger slices, put a knot of scallions inside the fish's belly, and steam over high heat for eight minutes.
After the dish was cooked, Su Wantang discarded the overcooked ginger and scallions, topped it with fresh shredded scallions and ginger, and then poured boiling hot oil over it with a "sizzle," instantly releasing the aroma of scallions and fish. Finally, she drizzled a ring of steamed fish soy sauce around the edge of the plate.
The fish meat is white, tender, and juicy.
Scallops and abalone are a little more troublesome to prepare, but that's nothing to Su Wantang.
She turned the scallops into steamed scallops with garlic and vermicelli. She soaked the vermicelli from Longkou in her space until soft and used it as a base, then laid the scallop meat on top, and covered it with fried garlic and vermicelli. She then steamed it until cooked, and every bite was an ultimate enjoyment.
As for the abalone, she used concentrated broth cubes, also produced by the space, and a few slices of ham to simmer it slowly, making a nourishing abalone soup.
In just over half an hour, the four dishes and one soup were on the table.
Steamed crabs lay red and shiny on the plate, braised prawns were glistening with oil, steamed sea bass was bursting with freshness, garlic scallops were delicate and tempting, and abalone soup was rich and mellow.
While Su Wantang was cooking, Zhao Jing had already steamed the rice and cleaned up the kitchen.
Zhao Jing carried the prepared food towards the door, calling out, "Come on, dinner's ready!"
"Jianjun, our whole family is in for a treat today! Come and try Tangmei's cooking!"
"I smelled that aroma just now! The smell of this dish has already traveled three miles!" Chen Jianjun said with a smile.
At this moment, Lu Linchuan also walked towards the kitchen and brought out the last two dishes, placing them on the dining table.
Su Wantang carried out a tray with four small plates containing the dipping sauce she had prepared, as well as four bowls of rice.
Everyone sat around the dining table.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Chen Jianjun couldn't help but swallow hard: "Comrade Su's cooking is really good. This tastes much better than the food in our canteen."
"Try it." Su Wantang served everyone a bowl of soup and distributed chopsticks to everyone.
After taking a sip of the soup, Chen Jianjun's eyes lit up: "This soup is so delicious! Honey, you should try it."
Zhao Jing took a sip, nodded repeatedly, and her eyes lit up: "It's so delicious, I can never make it taste like this at home."
"Tang, what are your hands made of?! How are they so skillful!"
"I used to cook a lot, and over time I figured out how to cook," Su Wantang said with a light laugh. "Since you think it's delicious, then everyone should eat more! There's more in the kitchen!"
Little Bean smelled the delicious aroma in her mother's arms, her little mouth opening and closing, looking incredibly tempted.
