After all, in his view, even oysters with the best breeding conditions will have some bacteria and parasites.
However, as a daughter, I am willing to eat almost all kinds of food.
It is this kind of non-picky eating that has allowed He Beibei to taste a variety of different styles and cooking techniques since childhood.
The taste and cooking techniques of these delicacies are also deeply imprinted in her mind, allowing her to call them at any time when needed.
If he had never tried using black vinegar and lemon juice when eating oyster sashimi, he would not have been able to create such a sea urchin sashimi.
This is like the last monarch of the Han Dynasty. After he was deposed, he once went to the antique street and saw the antiques all over the place. He easily picked out many genuine items among them.
Others complimented him on his excellent eyesight. The last monarch after his downfall just shook his head slightly and said something calm and indifferent.
"My house used to be full of these things. I could tell if they were real or fake at a glance. It just didn't feel right."
Many people think that everyone is on the same starting line, but in fact it is simply impossible.
It is definitely less difficult for a musical family to train a musician than for an ordinary family.
It is far more difficult for a culinary family to cultivate a gourmet than for a normal family.
I was thinking about something in my mind, but my hands did not delay at all. The broth made from chicken skeletons was added to the chicken paste, and the chicken paste was mixed with mashed potatoes.
He Beibei scooped up a ball with an ice cream spoon, put it into a small green disc, and finally sprinkled it with a layer of finely crushed black pepper.
One serving of [Chicken and Mashed Potatoes] is complete.
Li Xiao scooped out a spoonful of mashed potatoes and looked at it carefully. The mashed potatoes were very delicate. He put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully. The aroma of chicken, fresh potatoes, rich milk flavor, and a touch of
Peppery flavor.
The flavors complement each other and work well together.
As soon as the mashed chicken and mashed potatoes were put into the mouth, without even chewing, the mashed potatoes melted quietly and turned into liquid, sliding down the throat and into the body.
This dish must be very popular with children and the elderly. Milk, cream, cheese, these three dairy products are added to the mashed potatoes, so it can create such a rich milky flavor. After the chicken breast is steamed, chicken soup is added and minced into minced chicken.
, and finally mixed into mashed potatoes.
It's full of creamy flavor, just like eating ice cream, except this ice cream is chicken flavored.
The overall feeling is quite good, with a milky aroma and a very comfortable texture. However, towards the end of the meal, Li Xiao felt a little tired, probably because of the cheese and cream.
Although He Beibei sprinkled black pepper on the last step to relieve the tiredness, he was afraid that the strong taste of black pepper would cause confusion and take away the taste of the mashed potatoes, so the black pepper was not added.
not much.
As a result, the anti-greasy effect it exerts is not strong.
It tasted pretty good at first, but after two more bites, the problem became apparent.
Li Xiao looked down at the mashed potatoes in the plate. This problem is not difficult to solve. The easiest way to solve it is, of course, to reduce the amount.
Since eating too much will make you feel tired, then reduce the portion and the problem will be solved directly.
However, although this method is simple, it only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Just like when you have acne and blackheads on your face, you don't think about how to take care of them, and you just think about using powder to cover them up, which is just to avoid the problem.
When He Beibei saw the smile on Li Xiao's face, he had put down his worries, thinking that the fourth course had passed smoothly and he could prepare to start the fifth course with peace of mind.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to take action, Li Xiao waved to her.
He did not show an unhappy expression this time, nor did he frown. He walked much faster than before and walked towards the back of the workbench.
Li Xiao didn't waste time and asked straight to the point.
"Have you ever tasted this [Chicken Minced Mashed Potatoes?]"
He Beibei was a little confused,
"Of course I've eaten. Is there something wrong?"
Li Xiao nodded, a little confused
"Since you've eaten it, don't you feel anything wrong?"
Could it be that He Beibei is actually a heavy-flavored person, but it's hard to say, after all, he heard that foreigners like heavy-flavored food.
The whips were all very heavy. No, it wasn't the whip, but the seasoning was very heavy. Yes, the seasoning was very heavy.
inappropriate?
He Beibei frowned and picked up Li Xiao's portion of mashed potatoes with a small amount left, feeling puzzled.
I put it to my nose and smelled it, and there was nothing wrong with the smell.
Li Xiao watched the other person pick up the spoon and was about to eat, and quickly spoke to stop him.
Good guy, you’ve eaten this mashed potato yourself, and you still want to eat it. Don’t you know whether men and women kiss or not? Isn’t this the same as indirect kissing?
I have never kissed Jiang Yingxue, how can I leave my first kiss to you???
He pointed to the half bowl of mashed potatoes left on the countertop.
"There's too little here. Try eating a normal portion and see how it feels."
When she heard Li Xiao say this, the experienced Beibei immediately understood that there might be something wrong with the weight, and she quickly walked back to the workbench.
She grabbed a blank bowl and scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes with an ice cream spoon. She sprinkled the mashed potatoes with cracked black pepper and started stuffing the spoon into her mouth. She stuffed about two-thirds of the mashed potatoes.
The hand stopped.
She licked her lips and looked down at the half bowl of mashed chicken and mashed potatoes left in her hand.
A feeling of shame welled up in my heart.
Overconfidence can still kill people. After tasting the chicken and mashed potatoes, she made it directly according to the portion.
But as a three-star chef, he forgot the most important point.
If you add too many dairy products, fats and sugars, you will easily feel full after eating too much, which is what most people call the feeling of being tired of eating.
This is actually quite simple common sense, but she is overconfident in her own skills.
Moreover, the minced chicken itself has a certain effect in absorbing fat. However, what she didn't expect was that this time it would suffer a big setback in terms of weight. If the weight was less than half, the problem should not be so obvious or even not occur.
question.
Putting down the bowl in her hand, she turned around and said to Li Xiao,
"I probably know what's wrong with this [Chicken and Mashed Potatoes]. I'll adjust its weight then."
After saying that, He Beibei turned around and walked away. It was not because she was too arrogant, but because she was too shameless to see others.
After only trying 4 dishes, three of them had problems. Whoever it was would be so embarrassed that they would be embarrassed to see others.
Although He Beibei already looked embarrassed when he saw it, he still had to raise his opinions. After all, there is only Samsung in the [neighborhood] now, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Besides, the other party seems to be very communicative, so while we can still communicate, we might as well raise all the issues while the iron is hot.
Li Xiao coughed lightly and quickly stopped He Beibei's escape.
He Beibei's heart skipped a beat. Good guy, he has already admitted his mistake. Does this mean he is going to fight to the end?
Are you going to make fun of yourself in front of the entire kitchen?
Or do you want to scold yourself in public?
Although, there are indeed a lot of omissions on my side, but...
Well, although I was a little dissatisfied, this dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.
This person does seem to have the qualifications to be dissatisfied. If he were the boss, there would be problems with three of the four dishes. Whether he could continue to work tomorrow would be a problem.
But she misunderstood. Li Xiao had no intention of humiliating her.
But I really want to give some guidance, after all, [Neighborhood] will be opening the day after tomorrow.
The substitution now is indeed a bit hasty and outrageous.
Besides, the other party's level has already been able to get three stars, which is indeed pretty good.
If after the replacement, there is no Samsung, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Moreover, Li Xiao has two five-star senior chefs behind him, so the menu will be changed or new products will be released.
If He Beibei encounters a problem, he will definitely go to his parents.
That's like hiring a three-star senior chef, but hiring two five-star senior chefs for nothing. This business is a good deal, so Li Xiao will definitely not have a quarrel with the other party unless necessary.
Li Xiao saw that the atmosphere was not quite right and quickly showed a smile.
"Actually, the taste of this chicken minced mashed potato dish is quite good. No matter the conception, preparation technique, or its degree of delicacy, it is quite appropriate."
"However, you should have clearly known just now that the only drawback is that it will make you feel too tired after eating too much."
"Of course there is no problem in adjusting its weight as you just said. This method is very direct and can solve the problem very immediately."
Li Xiao first praised the other party. After all, he had made many comments in succession. He didn't know what the other party's temper and tolerance were.
So he still thought it would be better to say a few words first, but his opinions still had to be raised.
"But have you ever thought that even if the portion is reduced, the greasiness of this dish has not disappeared, it is just temporarily suppressed, but the feeling of fullness has actually been felt by the body, which may affect the next
Tasting of a range of dishes.”
"So I have a little suggestion here, I suggest you reduce the amount of milk, cream and cheese."
Hearing Li Xiao's words, He Beibei was suddenly surprised. Indeed, she had completely ignored this problem, even though she had temporarily solved the problem of feeling tired after eating mashed potatoes.
However, the problem of consuming large amounts of cream and cheese still exists. Even if the portion is reduced, the intake is only slightly reduced.
At first, He Beibei thought that Li Xiao would have some wonderful suggestions. When she heard that the ingredients of these materials that produce satiety were to be reduced, she frowned slightly, but she quickly relaxed and asked politely.
"But if you rashly reduce the proportion of these three ingredients, the taste will be unbalanced, which may cause more serious problems than satiety."
Li Xiao chuckled, of course he would never forget this kind of thing
"This is not simple. Just add something with the same properties and similar taste, such as salted egg yolk?"
Hearing the fluffy material from Li Xiao's mouth, He Beibei was shocked, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a door to a new world suddenly opened in front of him.
Although salted egg yolk is not any dairy product, its taste complements that of dairy products.
Although she hasn't tried adding salted egg yolk to it, what will it taste like, but she thinks it won't be too bad.
Seeing the sudden realization and surprise on He Beibei's face, Li Xiao understood that the other party must have figured out the reason.
He continues to speak
"As for the ratio, you can try it as soon as possible in the next two days. And I think the flavor may be richer after adding salted egg yolk, which can add a lot of color to this chicken minced mashed potato dish."
After watching He Beibei walk back to the workbench, the squad leader leaned into Li Xiao's ear and said,
"I really hired the right person this time. I didn't expect that you are not only great at live streaming, but you are also so great at tasting food."
"I have never seen Chef He convinced by anyone, but you raised so many opinions, but she didn't react much."
"Obviously he quite agrees with your opinion. Do I need to pay you another menu improvement fee?"
The monitor was very happy to see it.
This is indeed an unexpected surprise for her. Originally, she just wanted to find an anchor with enough traffic to help promote it.
Unexpectedly, after searching around, I found my old classmate, and this old classmate also helped improve the menu and asked a lot of questions.
This is like the experience that many people have had. You bought a lottery ticket and thought you won the third prize. Who knows, but you went to the welfare company and said that the prize could not be redeemed.
You think you saw the wrong number or got a fake lottery ticket, but the other party says that yours is the first prize, and you need to go to the general bureau to claim the prize.
What is a surprise? This is probably a surprise.
Li Xiao and the monitor were chatting without a word, while He Beibei turned around and continued working.
During the chat, the only soup on the menu was served.
【Mushroom clear soup】
When He Beibei was preparing this list, Li Xiao felt that his saliva was constantly secreting.
The rich aroma of mushrooms is constantly coming out of the oven, which is very tempting.
The preparation of mushroom soup is actually very simple. Wash the mushrooms and then pull out the stems.
Adjust the temperature of the oven to 130°C, place the umbrella side up first, and bake slowly at low temperature for 3 minutes until the surface of the mushrooms becomes brown.
Just open the oven and turn the mushrooms over.
Place the umbrella face down neatly in the oven. At a high temperature of 130 degrees, the water in the mushroom will begin to slowly drain out. Because the umbrella cover has been browned, the water will naturally gather in the original umbrella cover.
of depressions.
When the juice from the depressions of the mushrooms is about to overflow, turn on the oven, pour the juice from the depressions into a bowl, then put the mushrooms back into the oven and continue baking at low temperature for three minutes.
Collect the remaining juice in the depression again, add salt and a little sugar while it's hot to freshen it up, and finally cut a mushroom that has been baked to a semi-dry state into thin slices and slowly put it into a bowl to make a simple [Mushroom Clear Soup]
It's finished.
[Mushroom clear soup] is packed in a light blue soup bowl.
Except for the thinly sliced mushrooms, this bowl of soup has no decorations and looks very simple and elegant.
Li Xiao put his head in front of the soup bowl and fanned it gently with his hand. The richer fragrance of mushrooms poured into his nose.
[Mushroom Clear Soup] An extremely simple clear soup. Not to mention high-end restaurants, even ordinary families can make the same effect using a pan.
The only thing you need to worry about with this dish is whether the ingredients used are good enough.
Although the preparation method is very simple, Li Xiao doesn't think there is anything wrong with such simple dishes appearing in high-end restaurants.
The more complicated the food is, the more delicious it is, nor is the more expensive the more delicious it is. As long as the customers like it, there seems to be nothing wrong with having such simple dishes on the menu.
Use the same light blue spoon to scoop up the golden and clear soup.
When you enter the clear soup, the fragrance of mushrooms comes to your nostrils. There is a slight burnt aroma in the clear soup. This is because when the mushrooms are roasted, some protruding small bumps are too prominent and are cooked first, which brings a special flavor to the clear soup.
The mushrooms are very fresh and don't have that rotten wood fermentation smell that is unique to many mushrooms.
It should be a mushroom culture kit that has only been used once. In fact, most mushroom culture kits can be reused.
But the more times it is reused, the stronger the smell of rotting wood will become. Some unscrupulous plantations will even use inferior culture kits and hormones to cultivate mushrooms.
Although this method is cheaper and grows faster, such mushrooms have almost no nutritional value and taste strange, without the freshness and sweetness that mushrooms should have.
He Beibei did a very good job in selecting materials. The chickens are good chickens, their age and breeding methods are quite good. The mushrooms are also good. I don’t know if they are supplied through the supply channel provided by my parents.
This soup is quite satisfactory, very fresh and sweet, and has a somewhat elegant and refined feel.
It is very consistent with the concept of Cantonese cuisine pursuing the original taste of ingredients. The current [Mushroom Clear Soup] only uses itself as the raw material, without even adding a drop of water. It is very consistent with the purpose of their store entrance - to return to the original beauty.
And isn’t the original beauty of Cantonese cuisine just returning to the taste of the food itself?
If this dish had a perfect score of 100, Li Xiao would be willing to give it 95 points.
It's not that his score is really that high, but that according to this approach, there is really not much room for improvement.
In other words, the [Mushroom Clear Soup] made with this method has very high upper and lower limits. It is very suitable for novices to become a house cook. Moreover, the shape is also quite advanced, and the production method is super simple.
Seeing that Li Xiao did not greet him, He Beibei let out a long breath. At this time, Song Peiyuan, a two-star chef in the team, quietly walked to He Beibei and whispered.
"Beibei, it seems that you are not in the right state today? Who is that guy's background?"
The kitchen area is not small, and Li Xiao deliberately lowered his voice in order to prevent others from hearing what was being said here, so others in the kitchen who were several meters away had no idea what was going on.
But calling He Beibei back and forth is obviously not a good thing.
However, He Beibei, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, did not show any unhappy expression today. Instead, he looked thoughtful. This behavior surprised Song Peiyuan, who had been working with him.
You must know that the main reason why they appeared in this newly opened small store was that an unreasonable shareholder appeared in the previous store.
He put forward various opinions on He Beibei's seasonal menu, and the opinions put forward were all ridiculous. He Beibei, who was the chef at the time, paid one month's salary and resigned directly.
Of course, the kitchen team is all He Beibei's. Since she is leaving, the others must also be leaving.
However, this approach is actually quite demoralizing. After all, as a shareholder of the store, the other party has made certain requirements. Logically speaking, the kitchen here needs to follow up in a timely manner.
After all, it is difficult to make a fair judgment on whether the request made is reasonable, but He Beibei's immediate resignation did violate professional ethics.
The normal process is to wait for the other party to find a chef to replace the original team, or to resign for a month.
Although one month's salary of the entire kitchen was paid, it caused a lot of commotion in the circle.
In the end, his parents temporarily hired a four-star senior chef and his team to temporarily replace the restaurant's back chef, so that the situation would not spread.
The person involved, He Beibei, was also banned for a long time and was only recently released. He Beibei's father also found this store for her, despite repeated orders not to allow her to continue causing trouble.
However, Song Peiyuan knew He Beibei's character very well. Logically speaking, it was natural for the owner of the new store to bring an inexplicable so-called anchor over to try the dishes, and to anger He Beibei.
Therefore, in fact, when Li Xiao came in, everyone had already considered whether they should rest at home for another month or two.
After all, they really knew the temper of their boss. Even though He Beibei was a girl, she had a hotter temper than many boys. However, what surprised everyone was that He Beibei seemed to be uncharacteristically different today.
Same as one person.
He Beibei glanced at Song Peiyuan angrily
"If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after get off work. Work hard during work hours. That guy doesn't just prepare meals well."
Hearing the words coming from He Beibei's mouth, Song Peiyuan was secretly shocked.
What do you mean that guy is not simple? Why is he not simple?
Is that guy not only an anchor, but also a famous food critic?
Or maybe he is a descendant of some gourmet family?
After all, the other party looks much younger than He Beibei. If you rely on yourself, no matter how outstanding you are, you won't be able to make He Beibei so submissive.
Song Yuanpei was a little puzzled, but since the boss had spoken, let's talk about it after get off work. After all, he was also a two-star chef, and he still had certain professional ethics.
He took one last curious look at the man who was still chatting with the store owner, and continued to focus on his work.
Thank you everyone for your rewards.
get something,
will forget,
At first,
Pad your feet,
Lie down by the window and look at it.
Therefore, that person who suddenly appears on your road and surprises you is actually already by your side.
