"Your original intention is to highlight the aroma of chili peppers, and the dry nature of mushrooms can be used to highlight the flavor of chili peppers. However, if you fry them directly, the flavor of the mushrooms will cover up the flavor of the chili peppers, so you choose to blanch and fry them.
This method makes the moisture and original flavor of the mushrooms disappear!”
"But you forgot a very crucial step, that is, in addition to the fragrant aroma of fungi, mushrooms also have a taste, which is the earthy smell!"
"When you blanch water, use tap water directly, so the aroma of the mushrooms is boiled away, but the earthy smell remains, so the main flavor of this dish is not the aroma of chili pepper.
But it tastes earthy!”
Listening to Ye Gui's words, Chef Liu narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about Ye Gui's words.
"I'll try it!"
He took a bite of the vegetables he cooked. It would have been okay if Ye Gui didn't say anything.
After Ye Gui said it at this moment, he found that it was indeed the case!
"Is it really like this? Why does it have such a strong earthy smell?"
Chef Liu let go of his hand and the kitchen knife fell to the ground. After bouncing several times, it fell right at Yang Pengfei's feet.
Yang Pengfei immediately picked up the kitchen knife and had someone send it back.
"Boy, don't you call yourself the God of Cookery? What are you going to do about this?"
Chef Liu looked at Ye Gui unhappily. He really had no choice at the moment!
Ye Gui said: "Chef Liu, your idea is actually correct, but the method is wrong. The blanching step can be replaced by dry frying, and the earthy smell can be fried with the heat of the iron pot!"
Ye Gui said a new word - pot gas!
After all, Chef Liu is the chef of the Imperial Kitchen. After Ye Gui’s reminder, he immediately understood.
But the viewers in the live broadcast room asked one after another: "Master God of Cookery, what is pot gas?"
"Yes, I've heard of athlete's foot, but this is the first time I've heard of pot odor!"
Ye Gui glanced at the barrage and explained: "The so-called pot gas should be wok (huo) gas. When a stir-fried dish is served hot, everyone will praise it as 'really fragrant.'
"Huo Liao Wei', that is, the gas from the pot that arouses appetite, makes people feel happy when tasting it."
"Wok gas means that when ingredients are stir-fried at high temperatures, violent firepower is used to quickly stir-fry them in the pot. The temperature of the ingredients soars instantly, the water evaporates, and the burnt aroma is caused by contact with the pot body."
"This aroma is the pot gas, and because of the thermal conductivity of the iron pot, the high temperature can be almost completely applied to the ingredients. When frying, you can't just put the mushrooms in and they won't move. You have to turn the pot repeatedly, so that the food will be cooked.
The earthy smell and moisture of the mushrooms are all fried away!”
“Fry them dry and then fry them again to form a protective layer of oil on the surface of the mushrooms. This way, when stir-fried with the mushrooms, the mushrooms will not absorb too much flavor, and it will only increase the taste of the chili!
"
After listening to Ye Gui's words, Chef Liu suddenly grabbed Ye Gui's hand and said excitedly: "Boy, I think you have a pretty good talent. Learn how to cook with me. Then I will pass on all my skills to you.
This store is for you too!”
Everyone: "..."
Ye Gui silently took his hand back: "Chef Liu, this is a shop opened by your apprentice, but even if you do this, the taste of your dish will not be as good as the mushrooms made by Shan En!"
"Although the peppers made in this way are very fragrant, they have lost the characteristics of the mushrooms!"
Chef Liu curled his lips: "You're right, because the purpose of developing this dish is to make a rice cooker. Forget it, let's try the last dish, steam pot chicken!"
He finally took out the steam pot chicken. Although twenty minutes had passed, the temperature of the steam pot chicken was still very high!
"Yesterday we saw how to cook steam pot chicken at Shan En's restaurant. I won't add water here, so let's eat it directly!"
Ye Gui said something to the barrage and opened the lid of the pot himself.
The moment I opened the lid of the pot, a burst of hot steam came out along with the aroma of chicken.
This smell is very strong, it seems that the whole room is filled with the smell of steam pot chicken.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
“It smells so good!”
Ye Gui took a look at the steam pot chicken and saw that the soup in the pot was very clean and the chicken was lying quietly on the bottom of the pot.
Golden chicken fat floats on the surface of the soup.
Steam Pot Chicken, as the name suggests, chicken is the protagonist of this dish.
But in movies and novels, in addition to the protagonist, there are also supporting roles.
The same goes for steam pot chicken.
The supporting roles of this dish are various Chinese herbs and vegetables.
Although this dish only contains chicken and chicken soup, Ye Gui just smelled it and smelled the ingredients.
"One cordyceps, two slices of ginger, three wolfberries, four day lilies, five garlic, six red dates, seven scallions, eight grams of astragalus, nine grams of Codonopsis pilosula, this is a medicinal steam pot chicken!"
