"How to make hot pot base ingredients more fragrant? In addition to learning from a master to master the recipe, you also need to be familiar with the taste of each spice and the effects of combining them."
In the kitchen, Fang Lin stood in front of the chopping board and said slowly.
The chopping board in front of him was filled with all the spicy condiments currently available in hot pot restaurants.
Su Xiaomeng and chef Da Zhuang stood beside him. Su Xiaomeng listened attentively, holding a notebook in her hand and taking notes while listening. Da Zhuang looked contemptuous and absent-minded.
"Bibo, galangal, tangerine peel, caoguo, white buckle... these spices are used to remove fishy smell and relieve greasiness, but these aniseed ingredients are auxiliary ingredients and will not emit fragrance alone. They need to be combined with other aniseed ingredients to be effective.
."
Fang Lin reached out and picked out a few, and continued: "Cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, peppercorns, fennel, angelica dahurica, angelica... These kinds of aniseed have their own unique spices and unique fragrances.
."
Fang Lin picked out the ingredients he needed and started to stir-fry them.
"The oil should be mixed with oil, preferably rapeseed oil and butter. Onion, ginger, and garlic should not be missing. Pixian bean paste is also an excellent choice for color and flavor."
While he was stir-frying the ingredients in an orderly manner, he set up a soup pot on another pot.
"If you want to make a delicious hot pot soup, stir-fried ingredients alone are not enough. Bone broth is also essential."
"The combination of big stick bones and chicken racks can make a delicious soup base."
He controlled two pots by himself and still seemed to be able to do so with ease. Seeing his posture, Da Zhuang's face gradually became serious.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell if something is there as soon as he takes action. If Fang Lin only knows the seasonings, he only knows some theory and cannot be trusted.
But now that I see Fang Lin's master-level demeanor in every move he makes, I can't help but calm down, remember it with all my heart, and learn from it.
Fang Lin noticed the change in Da Zhuang's attitude and nodded slightly in his heart.
The hot pot restaurant has become what it is now. Sometimes Su Xiaomeng can't even pay her salary. Employees who can stay and continue to work are a fortune to Su Xiaomeng.
There is nothing wrong with this chef, but he is too rigid and dogmatic. However, as long as he is willing to learn patiently, Fang Lin is sure to train him.
Some things are easy to understand. Chinese food in China, especially hot pot, has the highest requirements for spices.
Spices are also Chinese medicinal materials. Fang Lin has a clear understanding of the pharmacological properties of medicinal materials, so he naturally knows how to prepare delicious hot pot.
The whole process of stir-frying the ingredients and boiling the soup took him three hours, and by the time it was finished, it was already noon.
After the hot pot base prepared by Fang Lin was boiled, the whole hot pot restaurant was boiling!
All the employees gathered around the pot of red soup, their eyes shining brightly.
This kind of fragrance can be clearly smelled even from a long distance away. Just smelling this kind of smell will make people salivate and make them want to have a feast!
Su Xiaomeng suppressed her nervousness and excitement and said: "While there are no guests now, everyone brings chopsticks and bowls and try the hot pot made by Village Chief Fang together."
Da Zhuang was the first to taste it. He picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, but his expression became dull and he was speechless.
Su Xiaomeng took a piece of meat and froze after eating it in her mouth.
The handsome cashier took a bite of the food, with stars in her eyes. She was so excited that she almost bit her tongue: "Boss, this tastes great! It tastes several times better than the hot pot we used to have! It's so delicious.
Make people bite their tongues!”
La Ding Tian Hot Pot Restaurant once had the most confident hot pot taste, but because the partners left with the recipe, it was gone forever.
This has made many customers gradually become disappointed and stop spending money here.
However, the hot pot base made by Fang Lin today tastes even better than before. Compared with the hot pot made by Da Zhuang, it is simply shit.
The aunt who was choosing the dishes laughed and said: "To be honest, I have smelled enough of the hot pot made by Da Zhuang. I never thought that there could be such a delicious hot pot in this world!"
"And the dishes provided by Village Chief Fang are not only beautiful, but also rich in flavor and crispy in texture!"
Everyone was talking a lot and had a great time discussing it.
Everyone feels that if the taste of hot pot in hot pot restaurants can be improved to this level in the future, and coupled with the vegetables provided by Fang Lin, it will be difficult to start a business.
Su Xiaomeng was stunned and speechless from beginning to end, but after a while she raised her head and glanced at Fang Lin, who was sitting not far away and was smiling, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
At this moment, a couple walked in outside the door. The two of them twitched their noses. When they walked in, they said: "Oh my God, such a fragrant hot pot. I was so greedy on the roadside that I couldn't walk."
Already."
It turns out that the smell of this hot pot has spread to the street outside!
When the two saw a group of hot pot restaurant employees gathering around the pot and enjoying themselves, they couldn't help asking sadly: "Don't you think you've opened the business yet?"
Su Xiaomeng was startled, showing a hint of surprise, and quickly threw away the bowl and chopsticks and said: "It's open, it's open."
The other employees also woke up, reluctantly threw away their bowls and chopsticks, and began to serve the two customers.
In their hot pot restaurant these days, it basically has to wait until the afternoon before they can get even one or two tables of customers.
But now, customers can actually walk into the store just because of the smell. This is something that was simply unimaginable before.
As a caterer, if you can make people unable to walk due to the fragrance wafting out, that would be the ultimate success!
As soon as the couple was seated, four middle-aged men walked in from the door.
The person in front walked quickly and twitched his nose, saying: "Did you change the cook for Spicy Dingtian Hotpot? The smell is too delicious!" wavv
Su Xiaomeng seemed to know this person. She smiled and greeted him: "Boss Wang, the cook has not been changed, but the taste is indeed much better. Hurry up and sit down. Hurry up and sit down."
Boss Wang laughed and sat down with his three companions: "Then I really want to try it. If the taste really changes, I will never go to other places to eat hot pot in the future. There is no need to look far away."
After a while, four or five more tables of customers came, making the entire hot pot restaurant extremely busy.
Fang Lin stir-frys a lot of base ingredients, enough for a hotpot restaurant to use for several days, so there’s no need to worry about that.
However, seeing that the business was so prosperous, Da Zhuang also became more motivated. He came to Fang Lin anxiously and excitedly, and said in a low voice: "Village Chief Fang, it was my fault before. I was the frog in the well. You just stirred up the stir-fry, and I was a little bit
I was distracted and some places are still a little blurry. I would like to ask you to teach me again."
After saying that, he quickly added: "No need to demonstrate, just say it once."
