Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! Chapter 254: One waist of cauliflower per person! This is not a gas station, is it an oil field?
Chapter 254: One waist of cauliflower per person! This is not a gas station, is it an oil field?
In the kitchen, Xie Baomin set up the oil pan and started cooking.
"Brother, don't you need to prepare side dishes?"
Lin Xu was a little curious and remembered that when eating this dish in a restaurant, there would be many side dishes, the most typical ones being green and red bell peppers, onions and other ingredients.
Although it looks good, it looks like a big plate full and very affordable.
Once you start eating, you will find that there is not much kidney meat on the plate, just the side dishes.
Xie Baomin added some cooking oil to the pot again after sliding it:
"Today, this is a one-pot dish. Apart from chopped green onions, no other side dishes can be put in. In order to reduce the difficulty and cost, restaurants will cook them separately. First, oil the kidneys, and then fry the stuffing and garnishes.
Dish, finally add the oiled kidneys, season and serve.”
One-pot dishes test your cooking skills.
Generally, the chefs in restaurants do not have such high cooking skills, and they cannot add side dishes to reduce costs, so they cook them separately.
In addition to kidneys, similar dishes include fresh liver, chicken gizzards and other dishes.
After saying that, Xie Baomin put his hand on the pot to test the temperature, but it was still a bit insufficient. He turned his face and reminded Lin Xu:
"The hot kidneys in Sichuan cuisine are very similar to this. If you want to cook it in one pot, you have to mince the bean paste and marinate it in the kidneys, so that the kidneys take shape and the red oil is fried."
One-pot dishes are basically like this.
But hotels rarely do this, after all, the cost is there.
It is only right to add some side dishes to reduce costs.
The oil in the pot is finally hot.
Xie Baomin poured the kidney flower into the pot, then threw the small basin aside, grabbed a towel and held one of the ears of the double-eared wok.
The other hand grabbed the spoon and stirred it around in the pot, spreading out the bunched waist flowers as much as possible.
Then shake the wok with one hand and use a spoon to quickly stir the pot with the other hand.
The kidney flowers in the pot curled quickly under the action of high-temperature hot oil, and the flower knife also exploded in all directions.
After all the isosceles flowers are formed, the surface will completely change color under the action of high-temperature hot oil.
At this time, pour in the prepared sauce.
Continue to stir-fry quickly so that the sauce hangs evenly on the kidney flowers.
When there is no soup at the bottom of the pot, quickly move away from the stove with the wok in hand, take it out of the pot and put it on a plate.
The whole process only took more than seven seconds, but Xie Baomin operated it in a busy and unhurried manner, and even took the time to observe the door when the pot was out.
Then he felt excited all over.
I found out that my junior brother-in-law’s father-in-law came over again at some point.
Boss Shen, Boss Shen, are you planning to have a second child?
Why is the demand for this kind of exciting dish more urgent than that of Lao Xie?
"Thank you for your wonderful craftsmanship, Master! It's rare to see this kind of stir-fried kidneys that is ready in one pot. Today is really an eye-opener."
Shen Guofu gave a thumbs up, but this time he did not serve the food on the table.
Because when the big boss saw Qiu Zhenhua in casual clothes, he realized that these dishes may not be prepared for him. Maybe these Diaoyutai head chefs are here to support his son-in-law.
It would be inappropriate to carry this away again.
Lin Xu explained to him:
"Dad, there is a supplier who has ordered a roasted whole lamb to treat senior brother and the others to dinner."
Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu blushed:
"I'm sorry just now, Master Xie, those two dishes..."
Chef Xie waved his hand:
"Damn, the food is ready for you to eat. Take this plate of kidney flowers away too, Boss Shen. In two minutes, the kidney flowers will become too old and you won't be able to eat them anymore."
Kidney is too delicate an ingredient.
You must eat it quickly after frying, otherwise the remaining heat will make the dish stale and taste worse.
Shen Guofu really wanted to try this kidney flower without side dishes, but since it was a dinner party, he had better not join in the fun. If he wanted to eat it later, he could just let his son-in-law cook it.
When he was about to refuse, Lin Xu handed over the plate of food:
"Dad, take it away and eat it. I will make them a dish of raw fried kidneys later. The taste is not inferior to the stir-fried kidneys."
A big waist?
Xie Baomin, who was lamenting that yet another gas station had been robbed, suddenly had his eyes lit up.
"Junior brother, when did you learn to make explosives?"
"Chef Guo taught me this when we were engaged last time."
At that time, Lao Dai had already taught him how to make boiled fish, but he was driven away by Guo Weidong because he failed to turn on the range hood, causing the back kitchen of Building 10 to choke and no one could enter.
The fried fish fillet that Dai Jianli wanted to teach was also snatched away by the furious Guo Weidong.
"In that case, let's show it off. When Lao Dai comes later, let him make another hot waist flower."
Stir-fried kidneys, raw fried kidneys, and hot stir-fried kidneys. Although these three stir-fried dishes make people confused by their names, they are very different in taste.
Stir-fried kidney flowers are a typical Shandong cuisine, with a salty and fresh taste and a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Hot Kidney is a typical Sichuan dish, spicy and rich in flavor.
Although raw fried kidneys is also a Sichuan dish, it does not use bean paste, but is cooked with pickled peppers or chopped peppers. If you like sourness, you may even add some pickled ginger and pickled radish, which tastes sour and spicy, and is an appetizer for your meal.
At this moment, there are only two pork kidneys left in the foam box, which is not enough to make so many dishes.
Lin Xu said to the car boy:
"Ask Boss Hu to send some pork kidneys over quickly. Don't make the quantity too small, at least ten."
When Shen Guofu heard that his son-in-law had exchanged his own dishes and that pork kidneys would be delivered later, he took the plate from Lin Xu's hand and returned to his seat with a bang.
After taking a seat.
He couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.
The kidney flowers are in the shape of wheat ears, with a thin layer of juice hanging on them, making the kidney flowers look oily.
After entering the mouth, the salty taste spreads in the mouth.
Because there is a layer of dry starch hanging on the surface of the kidney flower, it tastes tender, smooth and crispy.
It is indeed made by the head chef of the state banquet. It takes the advantages of kidney flowers to the extreme.
Take a bite of kidney flower, then pick up the wine glass and take a sip of white wine.
So happy!
While he was eating, Shen Guofu suddenly remembered the raw fried kidneys that his son-in-law had just exchanged with Chef Xie, and he couldn't help but look forward to Shu.
I must try it when I have time.
The spicy and sour kidney flower will make you drink it just thinking about it!
In the kitchen.
Lin Xu carefully tore off the transparent film on the surface of the pork loin, then placed the pork loin flat on the cutting board, sliced it in with a kitchen knife, and cut the pork loin in two.
The series of pussies inside the pork loin are revealed.
This is the source of the pungent smell of the pork loin, so you have to squeeze the tender pork loin with one hand and carefully slice it off with a kitchen knife with the other hand.
The nuggets must be sliced cleanly, otherwise the dish will be completely unpalatable.
After slicing, wash the pork loin again to prevent the smell from being left on the surface of the pork loin when slicing.
Then put the pork loin on the chopping board and start cutting.
Only when the pork kidney is marked with flower knife can it be called kidney flower.
It is still a wheat flower knife suitable for pork loin. After beating it, Lin Xu soaked it in clean water to remove the odor and blood from the pork loin.
Taking advantage of this time, he went to the storage room to get some pickled peppers and pickled ginger, and began to prepare the ingredients for raw fried kidneys.
While he was busy, Che Zi came to the kitchen with a box of pork kidneys, followed by Dai Jianli and Guo Weidong who came to the banquet.
"I'm going to choke you, what are you doing with all these kidneys?"
Dai Jianli became curious when he saw the pork loin carried by the driver. He looked at Xie Baomin, then at Lin Xu, and then lowered his voice and asked:
"Who is this? Lao Qiu?"
Qiu Zhenhua, who was cooking loach and yam not far away, immediately walked over with a kitchen knife in his hand:
"Lao Dai, are you in trouble again?"
Despite Chef Qiu’s elegant and easy-going appearance.
But when I heard someone call me false, my gentle and easy-going attitude suddenly turned into a rage.
"Hey, he's in a hurry. It seems he's really weak."
Dai Jianli hid behind Xie Baomin, but his mouth was not idle, and he was still analyzing it in a serious manner.
Qiu Zhenhua: "..."
There is absolutely no reason to argue with this kind of hob meat.
Xie Baomin said:
"Lao Dai, I just made a stir-fried kidney dish. My junior brother is making raw stir-fried kidney noodles right now. Do you want to show me the hot stir-fried kidney noodles?"
"Okay...but why are you making so many waist cauliflowers? A waist-length flower feast?"
Xie Baomin whispered:
"You don't know this, right? Lao Huang is weak, so he got a bunch of ingredients to strengthen his waist... Why don't Dongdong show his skills?"
Guo Weidong looked at the pork loin brought by the driver:
"Then I'll make a dish of shredded kidneys later."
The kidney flower with sauce is a slightly less popular dish. The method is to blanch the kidney flower into wheat ears in water, then place it in a shallower basin, and then pour the special sauce.
It tastes refreshing and delicious, and is more suitable for summer consumption.
Lin Xu, who was busy at work, sighed with emotion, what a great learning opportunity, but unfortunately he didn’t have a cooking study card in his hand.
This is not over yet.
When He Baoqing from Building 1 came in, he heard that everyone had made kidney dishes, and immediately said that he would make a dish of oil-soaked kidneys.
Zhu Yong's uncle Song Dahai made a dish of boiled kidney flowers.
Then there were dishes such as cold kidneys, boiled kidneys, mushroom soup, fried kidneys and other dishes. Shen Guofu, who had already eaten and drank enough, felt excited when he heard them.
Hey, they say pork loin is a man’s gas station.
This dish is not as simple as a gas station, it is like digging an oil field.
If you have the chance, you must let your son-in-law do it all again, so that our old Shen can also experience the joy of stabbing in the oil field.
When all the head chefs arrived, the dishes were brought to the private room one after another.
After seeing so many pork loin dishes, these head chefs joked with each other, asking who was weak enough to cook out so many pork loins.
Everyone said they were worthy.
Today I only eat roasted whole lamb, without touching the kidneys.
However, when Lin Xu finished his work and went up to prepare a toast to the group of head chefs, he discovered that not much of the roasted whole lamb had been eaten. Instead, the group of head chefs had eaten all the kidney dishes, which he had refused to taste. After he came in, Song Dahai was still rummaging in the pot of juice kidney flowers.
While turning over the food, I muttered that Cantonese food is really not affordable. There is so much sauce in such a big pot, but it ends up being gone after a few mouthfuls.
Tsk tsk tsk...
The middle-aged men who just said that they are worthy are actually like this in private?
Qiu Zhenhua was holding back his energy to drink wine to thank Bao Min. When he saw Lin Xu coming in, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said:
"Lao Xie, we're on your junior brother's territory. You have to take the lead in drinking. The brothers are waiting to clink glasses and drink with you one by one."
After saying that, he winked at Song Dahai.
Song Dahai picked up the wine glass and said:
"Yes, I have always wanted to have a drink with Lao Xie, but I never had time. Even if the King of Heaven comes today, I still have to have this glass of wine..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Baomin take out a box of cephalosporins from his handbag.
"Ouch, it took me a long time to remember, I forgot to take the medicine...Old Song, what are you talking about? What are you going to do when the King of Heaven is here?"
This guy shook the pill box in his hand in a cowardly manner.
Then he opened the medicine box, took out a white pill from it and put it into his mouth. He didn't even drink water and just chewed it raw and swallowed it.
"Oh my god, it's so hard. Boss, bring the pumpkin soup in front of you and let me have it..."
Everyone was ready to rush in and drink wine:??????
This bitch deliberately took pills in front of everyone, he really deserves a beating.
But it is a well-known fact that you cannot drink alcohol after taking cephalosporins.
So although everyone felt that they had missed a good opportunity to get Xie Baomin drunk, no one said anything more and could only wait until the opening day to think of a solution.
When the time comes, no matter what, I will get this bitch drunk to vent his hatred.
Qiu Zhenhua put down his wine glass with a disappointed look.
But when he caught a glimpse of Dai Jianli, who was chewing a mutton rib, he suddenly became energetic.
If you can’t irrigate Lao Xie, can’t you also irrigate Lao Dai?
Just as he was about to speak, Xie Baomin threw the medicine box in his hand to Dai Jianli:
"Lao Dai, haven't you had a stuffy nose these past two days? Just take a pill and you'll be fine."
"Oh, this is really great. Brother Xie understands me."
Dai Jianli put down the mutton ribs in his hand, opened the medicine box and looked at it, then took out one pill and put it into his mouth, while taking two sips of boiled water.
These two pieces of shit!
Guo Weidong looked at them and said speechlessly:
"You don't need to take medicine if you don't want to drink, right? This kind of medicine is not good for your health if you take it right."
Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli had a laugh, and then the topic turned to the opening ceremony on Saturday.
"Junior brother, on Saturday the head chefs of each building and Director Liao of the catering department will come together. In addition, there will also be several leaders from Diaoyutai. I will introduce you to them." In addition to Chef Yin who went to the northwest to collect food, , all the other head chefs were present, just to give Lin Xu a platform and let the outside world see the background and heritage of Lin Ji’s cuisine.
"Thank you so much, senior brother and all the head chefs."
Lin Xu drank the wine glass in one gulp and expressed his gratitude with practical actions.
After finishing the drink, he saluted the chefs one by one.
When it was Dai Jianli's turn, the head chef, whose mouth was full of oil and had no cold symptoms at all, quietly stuffed the medicine box on the table into Chef Lin Xu's pocket.
After the toast.
As soon as he arrived outside the private room, Shen Baobao, who was waiting at the door, saw half of the pill box exposed in his pocket.
"What is this, Xubao? Cephalosporin? Do you have a cold?"
"No, this... seems to be the medicine that senior brother and Chef Dai took."
Lin Xu held it in his hand and looked at it while he and Shen Baobao walked back to the second floor along the stairs.
The medicine box must have been a long time old, and the writing in some places was even a little blurry. I finally found the expiration date on the medicine box, and found that it had expired for more than a year.
This...
Open the pill box and there is a plate of white pills inside.
After taking it out, I discovered that it was two circles larger than the average pill.
When he was wondering, Baobao Shen next to him was surprised and grabbed the tablet in his hand:
"Ah, milk tablets! This was my favorite snack when I was a child. Were there any children in the private room just now? Why is there anyone else bringing milk tablets?"
Lin Xu recalled his senior brother's performance just now, and suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression.
"There are no children, but there are two old naughty boys."
Baby Shen took out a piece of milk and put it into his mouth to taste:
"Well, it's sour and sweet, and has a strong milky flavor. You should try it too, Xubao."
After saying that, she took out a piece and handed it to Lin Xu's mouth.
Eating this sweet and sour milk tablet, and then thinking about the feat of chewing pills by my senior brother just now... He is really a performing artist who was delayed by cooking.
Come to the second floor.
Chen Yan, who was still sipping pumpkin soup, saw Lin Xu and said:
"Brother-in-law, are you busy tomorrow morning?"
Tomorrow is Friday, and my parents will drive over, but it will probably be around three or four in the afternoon when they arrive in Beijing.
If it's morning, it should be fine.
He looked at his sister-in-law and asked:
"What's wrong, Sister Yan? Is there something wrong?"
Chen Yan said:
"I plan to go to grandma's house on Sunday. It's not appropriate to go empty-handed, so I want to learn the crystal skin jelly you mentioned. If I can learn it, I can show it in front of my grandma."
"Okay, no problem, you can learn this once you learn it."
Crystal skin jelly is made by blanching the pig skin and then steaming it in a pot. It is not difficult at all.
Relatively speaking, Lin Xu feels that dipping is a little more complicated, because it involves seasoning in cooking. If the ratio of seasonings is slightly off, the taste of dipping may be greatly compromised.
Upon hearing that Chen Yan wanted to learn this, Shen Baobao immediately said:
"Then I'll learn from it, as you promised me before."
"You won't go to work tomorrow?"
"I am the lunch purchasing specialist at Tianpeng Audit Firm. Isn't it normal to come to lunch vendors to inspect food safety issues?"
Lin Xu: "..."
I didn’t learn much about my skills, but I picked up the official accent quite quickly.
He nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll teach you two how to make crystal skin jelly tomorrow."
Seeing that her brother-in-law agreed, Chen Yan happily asked:
"Can you also teach us the crystal elbow? It feels like it is not much different from the crystal skin jelly."
You'd better save some money.
Just picking off the bones is much more difficult than crystal skin jelly, plus roasting pig skin and so on... It's good to have dreams, but don't be unrealistic, okay?
Lin Xu said:
"You have to wait a little longer for the crystal elbow, because it's very difficult to pick the bones. If you really want to learn another dish... why not let me teach you two how to make steamed eggs with minced pork. It's easy to get started, and it's not easy to overturn."
After acquiring the egg steaming technique, Lin Xu can cook all egg steaming dishes.
This kind of dish is simple and convenient, easy to get started, and much simpler than crystal elbows.
Steamed eggs with minced meat?
Chen Yan and Shen Baobao's eyes lit up.
This is simply awesome!
"I'll steam a few portions tomorrow morning. You two can try it and get a rough idea of the taste. This will make it easier to learn."
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he went down the stairs to the first floor to see if the number of souvenirs prepared for the head chefs was enough.
As soon as he left, Chen Yan said to her cousin in a serious voice:
"Yueyue, you can either call me and wake me up tomorrow morning, or stop sending me messages. I almost got angry when I saw the message this morning."
"I know, I know, you are the same, sleeping so hard, was it last night... huh..."
Sure enough, I guessed it right. This stinky girl is really good at making random jokes. Fortunately, her brother-in-law is not here at the moment... Looking at Shen Baobao's winking look, Chen Yan became very angry:
"Go, go, go, you think I'm the same as you two. I practice during the day and at night. I was too late to catch up on the drama last night, so I didn't get up."
"Yes, yes, I believe it, Yanbao, why don't you go and pay homage to Dundun? Lele ranked first in the grade again, and further widened the gap with the second place."
When Chen Yan heard this, she couldn't help but pout:
"You said that Baiyunguan burning incense is very effective, which is more credible than this. Don't say that often in the future, otherwise your brother-in-law will suspect that you have a problem with your IQ and choose to return it."
"Tsk, believe it or not!"
While the two sisters were bickering, Lin Xu, who had just arrived downstairs, was surrounded by a group of customers:
"Boss Lin, please give us a portion of these Shaqima and colorful water chestnut cakes. We really want to taste them."
"That's it, how many days have passed, is it time to start selling?"
"Hurry up, don't forget the other snacks, we are all waiting to eat!"
"Boss Lin, can you give me accurate information on when we can buy these snacks?"
"..."
Lin Xu didn't expect the customers to be so proactive and enthusiastic.
He said:
"These snacks are prepared for the chief chefs of Diaoyutai, who are gathering for dinner upstairs. Well, tomorrow our store will make a hundred boxes of Shaqima and a hundred boxes of colorful horseshoe cakes. If you want them, come back tomorrow. ”
I originally planned to serve snacks after the opening ceremony.
I didn’t expect customers to be so proactive and enthusiastic.
After Lin Xu made a promise to his customers, he immediately turned on his mobile phone and started checking the popularity ranking of Lin Ji's food topics...
