It stemmed from a beautiful misstep
Previously, a website launched such a vote: "The most hated hot pot ingredients". Hot pot ingredients that have been "disliked" by netizens include chicken, taro, crab fillet... Yes, the number of votes for artificial seafood like crab fillet is actually not low. The reason is that many netizens think that artificial seafood such as "crab fillet" and "fish board" is still better to eat less.
And in addition to the different shapes of such products, in fact, most of the taste is almost the same. Xiao Shi personally does not like to see crab fillets in the hot pot, but I can still eat crab fillets!
Crab fillet as the imitation of crab meat "artificial seafood", in fact, has nothing to do with crab, its main raw materials are fish syrup, starch, crab seasoning, and red food coloring, spices and so on. It got its name purely because it tasted like crab meat.
As one of the three major inventions of Japanese food, "crab fillet", its birth was completely a "failure" that was accidentally born during the development of another artificial seafood "jellyfish skin".
According to Japanese media reports, in the 1960s, Japan's シギヨ food companies began to try to develop alternative products that taste similar to jellyfish. After half a year of research and development, they created an "artificial jellyfish skin" from eggs and seaweed. However, the appearance and taste of this product are far from the real jellyfish skin. It can be said that such research and development results are failures!
However, the researchers found that after cutting this product into silk, it actually resembled dozens of crab meat. Therefore, they changed the direction of research and development to "artificial crab meat".
Under such a mistake, the company began to develop artificial crab meat. Later, after 3 years of research, the product "crab fillet" was successfully developed and began to be sold publicly.
Because the artificial crab fillet is cheaper and cheaper, "xie willow" has been widely popular once it was launched on the market. The product was later even known as the three major inventions of japanese post-war food along with instant noodles and curry cubes. Today, it is exported all over the world. Become one of the most popular hot pot ingredients. The artificial jellyfish, which was originally invented, is unknown in the market.
Speaking of hot pot with crab fillet. Xiao Xi heard some netizens ask before: Will you first remove the plastic film on the surface when eating crab fillets?
"9 Min" Ah! I really can't imagine that in order to keep the crab fillet intact and not scattered, someone will cook it together with plastic film, and tear it up when it is fished up and eaten! It is said that the Food and Drug Administration of Taiwan Province has also made a special exhortation to this end, saying that the structure of plastic film is relatively unstable at high temperatures, and it is best to sprinkle the packaging film before cooking.
Of course, you have to dismantle and then cook, isn't this common sense?
As mentioned earlier, crab fillet is actually artificial seafood. Everyone knows that its composition is no crab at all, not even crustaceans. Although it contains fish syrup (frozen surimi), the taste is largely artificially flavored, including sugar, polyphosphate and a large amount of salt.
Also, don't think that crab fillets lack meat ingredients and calories will be low, in fact, every 100 grams of crab fillet contains 99 calories. Almost 1 calorie per gram. Therefore, in fact, this product is not very suitable for weight loss people.
I wonder if you will order crab fillet when you eat hot pot? We look forward to sharing it in your comments section.
Today's sharing of "the birth of crab fillet turned out to be a "mistake", the Japanese originally intended to make this kind of seafood "here." The pictures in this article come from the network, if there is infringement, please contact to delete, thank you.
