502 Tomato Sauce
Then, the fish head and fish meat were marinated with salt and cooking wine for a while, and finally, flour was used to coagulate the sauce.
Then, she went to the stove.
She poured a lot of oil into the small pot that he had washed. There was so much oil and flour. They were probably going to fry the fish head and meat.
Xue Yan could still briefly understand the process.
He immediately went to the stove to light the fire.
When the oil was 70 percent hot, Jiang Yue got to work. He saw that she was holding the tail of the fish in one hand and the other end of the fish meat in the other. She slowly put the fish meat into the pan and fried it.
She saw that he was looking at her, so she calmly said, “You can let go after the fish is ready.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the fish meat was already almost done. She then let go and let the whole fish go in to fry. He even put the entire fish head in.
When it was done, she took it out and placed it on a rather large plate.
“There’s still sauce to be poured on it. Pour the sauce after the other dishes are done. This won’t taste good if it gets cold.” Jiang Yue said.
“Okay.” Xue Yan answered first and then asked,”Can we cook in the big pot now?” He had even brought the rice to cook.
“It’s done. I’ve already cut the vegetables. All that’s left is to cook them.” Jiang Yue said as she poured the rice into the cold water and covered the pot without letting Xue Yan do anything.
Xue Yan set the big pot on fire.
Shao Shuting’s medicine was about to be boiled. If it was boiled now, it could be drunk at lunch. Xue Yan picked up some charcoal and burned it in the stove before putting it in the small stove. Then, he put the medicine pot on the small stove and put some black charcoal in the small stove. Since the charcoal had been burned in the stove and was burning well, they didn’t need anyone to take care of it for the time being. He just needed to add charcoal at the right time. Then, he went back to the door of the stove and took care of the fire in the stove under the big pot and the small pot.
Jiang Yue had already started to make the green pepper spareribs. After that, she made the stir-fried pig heart, mapo tofu, and twice-cooked pork.
Jiang Yue quickly sliced the meat into thin slices. After stir-frying them, the color of the meat slices turned transparent and the edges were slightly curled. Not only did it look good, but it also made Xue Yan’s appetite rise. He was sure that it would turn out to be very delicious.
When she was making the winter melon soup, Jiang Yue took the opportunity to mix a plate of cold cucumber with it. It looked very appetizing.
Then, she made minced meat with eggplant and stir-fried a plate of vegetables.
The dishes were basically all ready. The only thing left was to pour some sauce on the fried squirrel fish. All she needed was some tomato sauce. Jiang Yue scooped a large ladle of hot water from the jar and poured it into the small pot. Then, she put four large tomatoes into the small pot.
The fish was quite big, so she had to make more tomato sauce.
She covered the pot.
After cooking for a short while, the lid could be opened, the tomatoes could be scooped out, and they could be soaked in cold water. At that time, the tomato’s skin could be easily peeled off.
After peeling off the skin, she cut the tomato into small pieces and smashed it in a bowl with a spoon. Then, she poured it into the pot, added sugar, and boiled it.
First, it was boiled over a large fire, then it was boiled over a small fire.
The amount she used was relatively small, so in order to avoid sticking to the pot, she had to keep using the spatula to stir it.
When it was cooked until it was very thick, almost like a sauce, it could be taken out.
In fact, if there was lemon, she could add lemon juice to it. Lemon juice could make the tomato sauce sourer and preserve it for a longer time. However, since she only made enough for one meal, and Xue Yan couldn’t stand the sourness, she decided against it. Otherwise, she might really have planted a lemon in her space just for this dish.
“This is tomato sauce.” Jiang Yue said.
Xue Yan looked at it and tilted his head.
“Is it done?”
