Chapter 928: Chapter 392: Not Enough Ingredients? Borrow Dundun’s Fish! Taking the Kids Hiking!

Finally, drizzle some seasoning oil on top, cover with a lid, and let the aroma of the chili oil seep in.

"Whoa, smells amazing, like those spicy strips from childhood."

Ren Jie, who was washing the baking tray, couldn’t help but praise.

Just casually making something turns out delicious; the brother-in-law’s skills are truly enviable.

Lin Xu said:

"This is different from spicy strips; spicy strips are actually more complex because you need not just red oil, but they must be chewy enough."

As he spoke, he plugged in the electric griddle and started preheating.

He then took out the dough that had been relaxing for a while, rolled it into long strips, divided them into small pieces, and then rolled them thin with a rolling pin. He placed them into the preheated electric griddle and selected double-sided heating.

This kind of flatbread takes just a minute to cook, you can even skip the step of flipping it.

Lin Xu skillfully cooked the flatbread, and Ren Jie watched in awe.

He always thought making such flatbread was a big task, yet didn’t expect it to be so simple and easy. He remembered they were just making dough not long ago, and now the first flatbread was already done.

"What are you making, bro? Wow, this artificial meat looks tempting, let me have a piece of flatbread to taste."

Chen Yuanyuan, having finished taking night scene photos, just prepared to sit on the sofa to edit them. Smelling the spicy aroma from the kitchen, she followed the scent and walked in.

She casually washed her hands, took a freshly cooked flatbread, placed it on a plate, and brought it to the kitchen countertop. With chopsticks, she grabbed some artificial meat and cold dish dried tofu, and specially added some crispy fried dried chili pieces.

Then she rolled up the flatbread, using a kitchen paper underneath, and took a big bite:

"Delicious, delicious, bro, your skills are truly exceptional."

"It’s nothing special; if you want to eat more, I’ll make the rolls specifically next time, it’s not difficult anyway."

Just as Lin Xu was speaking, Zeng Xiaoqi walked into the kitchen. When Chen Yuanyuan was about to take the second bite, she leaned over and took a big bite out of the roll:

"The taste wrapped is quite nice, I’ll have one too."

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the big gap bitten off from the roll, handed it over with a helpless expression:

"Good for nothing, number one in hogging food... You have this, I’ll make another one."

Zeng Xiaoqi was overjoyed:

"Yuanyuan, you spoil me the most, if you were a guy I’d definitely marry you."

Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips:

"If I were a man, I’d definitely not marry you."

"Why?"

"Afraid of wronging the kid."

Zeng Xiaoqi: ??????

Why are all you Chens so sharp-tongued?

Soon after, Chen Yan walked in wanting a flatbread roll as well, Lin Xu helplessly pointed at the fish in the bowl and said:

"The baked fish is almost ready, don’t rush. Such a big fish, my brother-in-law and I can’t finish it."

Seeing the several pounds of sea bass, the ladies finally left the kitchen, each clutching a flatbread roll, heading upstairs to visit Dundun’s room.

Lin Xu finished cooking the flatbread, then heated the pan, slid it before adding some oil again, and took the marinated bass out of the bowl, removing the scallion and ginger marinade.

When the oil is hot, he puts the fish in to fry.

Without baking conditions, frying also yields delicious baked fish.

Once the fish is in the pan, there’s no need to interfere, just let it fry slowly.

Taking advantage of the time, Lin Xu puts on oven mitts and opens the oven to take out the baked fish strips.

The Silverfish were roasted dry and stiff, and quite a bit of juice had dripped onto the baking tray.

Lin Xu places the rack on the countertop to speed up the cooling of the fish strips, so Dundun can enjoy them soon.

If Dundun likes them, he’d make more in the store for the little guy to feast on fish.

After taking out the fish, he shakes the wok to fry the fish head and fish tail, then flips it over to fry the fish meat inside.

He takes some onions from the fridge, peels and slices them, and spreads them evenly on the baking tray.

For baked fish, onions are indispensable.

They not only enhance the scallion aroma of the fish but also crucially prevent sticking to the pan.

Ren Jie says:

"Seems simple enough, but why does it become difficult when I try it myself?"

Whether it’s the guard team or police academy, he attempted to make baked fish using a baking tray, hoping to achieve baked fish freedom in the dorm, but every attempt ended in failure.

Grilled lamb skewers or iron plate barbecue, as long as the right sauce is bought, can be easily made in the dorm.

But eating in the dorm either results in food poisoning if done poorly or the fragrant smell attracts the leaders, leading to trouble; nothing good ever comes of it.

Lin Xu finishes frying both sides of the fish, and by now the fish meat is almost cooked through.

But it’s not ready yet; it needs to be doused with baked fish sauce and brought to a boil before eating.

He places the fish on the baking tray, and ideally there should be some blanched lotus root slices, celery, gluten, soybean skin, but there’s none at home, so he settles for some shredded artificial meat.

After setting that up, he puts the wok back on the stove, adds some lard, and heats it with the oil from frying the fish.

A spoon of dry pot sauce and a small spoon of Doubanjiang are added to the wok, frying until red oil emerges, then scallion, ginger, garlic, and a large spoon of dried chili are added.

Stir-fry until fragrant, add two bowls of clear water, boil over high heat, then add some garlic paste, followed by salt, sugar, light soy sauce, and common spices like thirteen-spice blend, five-spice powder.

Simmer for a few minutes to extract the aroma.

Then pour it over the baked fish.

He brings the baking tray to the dining table, and puts the artificial meat and cold dish dried tofu on the table, then takes out some crunchy pickles from the pickle jar, along with the freshly cooked flatbread.
