Chapter 73 Every dish is super delicious! The essence of cooking!
All sweet and sour dishes?
After reading the experience, Lin Xu discovered that he could cook all the dishes that were deep-fried and then coated in sweet and sour sauce, such as sweet and sour pork loin, sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour diced fish, sweet and sour shrimp, and sweet and sour crispy tofu.
Sweet and sour crispy eggplant and other dishes.
As for the sweet and sour pork ribs that have countless fans across the country, although the name contains the word sweet and sour, they cannot be made because they are not made in the same way.
There is no word sweet and sour in the name of the squirrel mandarin fish, but it is included in the technique.
After reading the experience.
Lin Xu let out a breath. He originally wanted to learn sweet and sour diced fish, but he didn't expect to learn the entire cuisine.
Is this compensation for the failure in learning white jade bamboo shoot silk just now?
Next to him.
After Xie Baomin put the sweet and sour sauce on all the diced fish, he carefully placed the sweet and sour diced fish on the plate with a spoon. After serving, he did not forget to put two green mint leaves on top.<
/p>
The executive chef wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself:
"The next step is to make milk soup and tofu."
He put the pressure cooker aside to let the air out.
Then clean the pot where you just made the sweet and sour sauce, put half of the pot of water on the stove and boil it.
While boiling water, he took out the prepared tofu from the foam box and quickly cut it into strips with a kitchen knife.
Wait for the water to boil.
He put three small spoons of salt into the pot.
I took a spoon and stirred it in the pot a few times to speed up the melting of the salt.
Then pour the cut tofu strips into the boiling water pot.
"When cooking with tofu, whether cold or stir-fried, you should blanch it in boiling water and salt, so that the tofu will lose the beany smell and taste softer and smoother."
Oh?
Are there any tips like this?
Lin Xu immediately put away his thoughts. Although there was no cooking learning card, he still needed to remember this knowledge. If he had the opportunity to make tofu dishes in the future, wouldn't it be useful?
It doesn’t take long to blanch tofu.
Boil the water in the pot again and let it boil for about half a minute. Then pour out the tofu to control the water.
The pressure cooker is now out of gas.
Open the lid.
A unique aroma of fish suddenly wafted out.
When the steam dissipates, the thick white soup in the pot will appear, which looks very appetizing.
Xie Baomin used a slotted spoon to take out all the onions, ginger and fish heads and fish bones from the pot, and put them into the disposable packaging box that Lin Xu had just prepared to feed the cat.
Then he held the pot in one hand and a fine-mesh sieve in the other hand and placed it above the wok.
Strain the thick white and delicious fish soup in the pot through a fine mesh sieve and pour it into the wok.
Then put half a spoonful of lard, two slices of ginger and a few green onions into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, allowing the umami flavor of the fish soup and the aroma of the lard to be perfectly combined.
At this time, add the blanched tofu and simmer over low heat.
Lin Xu couldn't help but swallowed as he watched the white tofu simmering in the milk soup.
Such a perfect soup.
Not to mention stewed tofu, even if you stew a piece of shoe mat, the taste should not be bad, right?
Just as he was sighing with emotion, Shen Jiayue, who had kissed herself and ran away in the morning, opened the door and walked in.
Oh, the female fugitive was finally brought to justice.
"Wow, it tastes so delicious!"
Shen Jiayue smelled the delicious smell of tofu in milk soup and walked towards the kitchen, while Chen Yan scanned the payment code at the door and actually paid a thousand yuan.
Well, my brother-in-law’s craftsmanship is worth the price!
"Mr. Chen, what are you..."
Song Tiantian was a little puzzled. Since he was a relative of the landlady, why did he still have to pay?
In the restaurants where I worked in the past, the boss and the boss's wife's relatives never paid. Every time I went there, they would not only order a large table of dishes, but also show off their power to the waiters.
"I plan to ask your boss to make some Shaqima. This is the fee. I will tell him later. Just mark the money when you collect the bill at night. He will understand."
"Okay Mr. Chen."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, she carried her bag and headed towards the kitchen.
Seeing Shen Jiayue taking pictures of two prepared dishes with her mobile phone, she leaned over and asked softly:
"What kind of dishes are these two?"
One side is made of white filaments, and the other side is covered with sweet and sour sauce, so you can’t see its true appearance.
"This dish is the white jade lotus root that my Xubao is talking about. It is a dish created by Master a few years ago. These white filaments are all cut from lotus roots."
Chen Yan: "!!!!!"
This is actually lotus root?
I thought it was an ingredient like wild rice.
Why have I never seen this dish on the menu when I went to Diaoyutai several times?
"This dish is sweet and sour diced fish. My Xubao just said that it is made from filleted fish. There are no fish bones at all, so you can eat it in one bite with confidence!"
No fish bones?
Isn’t this too friendly to people who don’t know how to eat fish?
Mr. Chen, who always had fish stuck in his throat, immediately wanted to try a piece.
Not long after.
All dishes have been prepared.
It’s almost eleven o’clock now.
Start eating!
"Wow, today's food is so rich, thank you, senior brother!"
Shen Jiayue politely thanked her and sat down next to Lin Xu after Uncle Gao sat down. She looked obedient, but her eyes were searching for the dishes on the table, thinking about which dish to eat first. "Eat, eat, you have to work later, don't be restrained."
Uncle Gao took a mouthful of white jade lotus root, tasted it, nodded and said:
"This dish is done well. It seems that after becoming the head chef, my basic skills have not fallen behind."
Hearing Uncle Gao's praise, Shen Jiayue quickly took a chopstick and put it into her mouth, with an expression of surprise on her face:
"Isn't this delicious?"
The crisp and refreshing taste combined with the right sour and sweet taste gives people the feeling of jumping into the swimming pool in the summer.
After eating, the spiciness of ginger and the numbness of peppercorns in the mouth further stimulate the taste buds, making people subconsciously raise their chopsticks and continue to enjoy this white jade-like deliciousness.
What is endless aftertaste?
What does it mean to be unable to stop?
This dish perfectly gives the answer.
After eating a few bites, Shen Jiayue picked up a piece of sweet and sour diced fish and tasted it.
The sweet and sour sauce on the outside is sour and appetizing, and the batter in the middle is crispy and delicious. As for the fish inside, it is tender and juicy. You can have three different textures with a piece of diced fish, and you don’t have to worry about eating fish bones. It’s so satisfying.
People are fascinated.
While she was eating, Lin Xu helped her fill a small bowl of tofu in milk soup.
Use a spoon to scoop up a mouthful of milk soup and put it into your mouth. It is fresh and has a strong fragrance. It is really refreshing to drink it warmly. The tofu is tender and smooth, without a trace of beany smell, but has a slight hint of it.
Sweet.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh every dish is very classic and delicious!
Uncle Gao held a bowl of rice, slowly took two bites of beef tenderloin with chilli pepper, and then asked:
"Xiao Xu, how do you feel after watching your senior brother make lunch today?"
In order for Lin Xu to watch Xie Baomin cooking, Uncle Gao helped Xu Xinhua braise chicken feet this morning, and then used a sandwich pot to make sour plum soup. He was not idle for a moment.
Now, it’s time to hand in your homework.
Feelings?
Lin Xu recalled his senior brother's cooking experience, and it seemed that it was different from those celebrity chefs who taught cooking on the Internet.
The chefs on the Internet use all kinds of sauces at every turn, as if the more they use, the more professional they become, but my senior has never touched it from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, he tentatively said:
"I feel that my senior brother is more... restrained in using seasonings."
As soon as I finished speaking, the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"The host has understood the essence of cooking and will be rewarded with a 50% off coupon in the points mall. Congratulations to the host."
Lin Xu:????
I'm just blind, now I understand the essence?
