The secret eel meat sinks to the bottom, surrounded by jellyfish silk, coriander stalks, shredded cucumber and shredded green pepper, which looks beautiful. As soon as food is served, people first feel a refreshing breath, followed by the smell of meat, which can arouse people's appetite. Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. The meat is tender, tough and chewy. An expert friend said that the meat was marinated in secret sauce in advance. If you eat it after heating according to the general practice, it is more suitable in autumn and winter, but it will feel too heavy and greasy in summer. After cooling, not only the original fishy smell of the meat is removed, but also the fiber structure of the meat is more compact after heating and cooling, so it tastes more tough and sweet.

This Xianerzai is a wild variety from Chaozhou. Generally speaking, Xianerzai's practice is either baking or frying, and it can't get the original sweetness. However, it is better to use secret seasoning to remove fishy smell, rinse with clear water after soaking, and then "ice-cool" with ice cubes than roasting and frying, so that the meat can maintain better freshness and nutrition. The chef said that you can't get oil in the process of freezing, otherwise it will go bad easily, because it is not baked now, but used after freezing. The fresh food on the table looks attractive. Take a bite. Iced fresh food tastes really tender and crisp, but it is even better if it is dipped in mustard.
