"Flapjack octopus" is a traditional delicacy in old Beijing. The thin and soft octopus is covered with salty octopus. Rolled up and bitten, it tastes really exciting!
Speaking of this, the master who has eaten must be drooling; but those who have not eaten are doubtful. It is true that the octopus meat is tender and delicious, but the octopus bones are hard and long, and the bone joints are also hard. I’ve always eaten fish, spit out stabs, and take out 100. How could it be possible to roll them up and eat them with the stabs and meat?
Hey, how about this special food of old Beijing?
Before eating, almost everyone doubted its authenticity, but after a bite, not to mention 100%, 99% of people would become addicted. For example, my southern gentleman who grew up eating rice, ate the "pancake rolls with octopus" I made. If you don't eat it once a month, you will be greedy.
This old Beijing’s famous dish is not based on the breadth and narrowness of octopus, but is popular among the people for its unique eating method and taste. This old Beijing traditional food is not inferior to braised boiled, fried liver, fried noodles and so on. . There is no trick to making this dish. If you want the fish bones and thorns to be as crisp as meat, you must use a pressure cooker. The important thing is said three times: use a pressure cooker! Use a pressure cooker! Use a pressure cooker!
Let's make pancakes with octopus in two steps, one is braising the octopus, and the other is making pancakes. After these two steps are completed, the most important step is left-eat! To make a long story short, hurry up! "
