Wisps of fragrance wafted out of the meatballs. Even though they were just semi-finished products, not even semi-finished products, they had already attracted the attention of many old diners.
Especially those who like to drink, although Zhao Youqian often changes the types of cold dishes and the ingredients of braised dishes.
However, after eating too much, there will still be some similarities in taste. At this time, new dishes appeared, especially old gourmets like Hong Qigong, who showed a look of fascination for the fragrant taste.
"This aroma alone can be paired with a pot of wine!"
I don't know if Hong Qigong has solved the matters on his mind, but he seems particularly heroic today.
He actually started drinking with White Beard directly. Fortunately, he still had some clarity in his mind and knew that he should stay awake to taste Zhao Youqian's cooking, so he didn't get completely drunk.
Now that I can smell the aroma of slow-cooked meatballs, I have taken another step forward from the wine country.
“It’s really delicious. It’s different from the food I’ve eaten in the sea!”
Whitebeard also nodded. At his level of cultivation, it is easy to control his voice. He did not suppress his voice before simply because he wanted to see what kind of place this place was.
Now that he had seen that it was really a restaurant, he certainly didn't have much vigilance left.
"However, it is not that simple to satisfy my stomach!"
Hong Qigong didn't say anything to refute it, but it was a rule that everyone who had doubts about the taste of Zhutian Restaurant's food would eventually be conquered by this place.
He will not break this tacit understanding.
On the contrary, he finally solved the problem in his own world, and he was so happy that he drank even though it was not half of what he usually drank, but his drunkenness was already welling up.
...
Zhao Youqian naturally noticed Hong Qigong's strangeness, but he didn't ask about it while the food was being prepared. Anyway, it seemed like a good thing, so there was no need to worry too much.
Seeing the temperature in the oil pan rising gradually, Zhao You knew it was almost done.
The oil temperature should not be too high or too low. Put the eggplant box in the pot at medium-low temperature, then fry it again at medium-high temperature to remove excess fat. This is the basic principle of frying vegetables.
Even if it is stuffed with meat, the eggplant box is still a vegetable fried food, so you should naturally pay attention to this.
The golden oil pan was already emitting wisps of smoke. When Zhao Youqian put the batter down and it started to bubble quickly, he knew the oil was hot enough.
Of course he knows the approximate oil temperature based on experience, but one thing must be remembered when cooking. Experience alone is not enough. You must try it and confirm the situation before starting.
Otherwise, even Chef Long and the King of Food may fall over.
A pair of very long wooden chopsticks picked up the eggplant box that had not yet been coated with batter, then put it next to the oil pan and turned it around in the full pot of batter that was as white as snow and frost, and then shook it slightly twice.
Shake off the excess batter and slide the eggplant wrapped in batter directly along the edge of the pan.
Just hearing the "pattering" sound that sounded like heavy rain hitting the leaves, you knew that this piece of eggplant box had been completely covered by the oil pan.
He keeps using chopsticks. Even though Zhao Youqian only uses a pair of chopsticks, his speed is really fast.
In a short period of time, a large pot of eggplant boxes was already floating on the upper level of the oil pan.
It’s not all fried at once, at least there’s still room for three or four more fryings, but we also have to take into consideration that the fried food will lower the temperature of the frying pan after it enters the pan.
Zhao Youqian is not that greedy. Only by frying slowly can the quality be guaranteed.
Watching the batter outside the eggplant box gradually solidify, then turn white, then dyed a light yellow, and after three or four minutes, it completely turned into lemon yellow.
Zhao Youqian knew that the first batch of eggplant boxes was almost completed.
However, although the eggplant box is crispy at this time, it is still not as good as Zhao Youqian needs. Pick it up first and place it on the oil-absorbing paper that has been prepared to drain the oil.
Also, remove all the floating batter residue from the oil pan.
When the oil temperature rises again, the second batch of eggplant boxes are put in again.
Even though it is just a small action like removing the batter residue, it affects how many times the oil in the oil pan can be reused, and whether the subsequent batches of fried food will taste the same as the first batch.
Deep frying at high temperature for a long time will make the batter mushy and bitter, which is also the key to causing carcinogens to appear in the oil.
Do your best to do this step well and keep the oil pan clean, which is also one aspect of making the fried food lighter.
While frying, ensure the quality of the oil in the pan. This is what the cook should pay attention to.
But even Zhao Youqian didn't expect that the number of eggplant boxes he made this time was really large. He fried four big pots and piled the fried eggplant boxes into a hill, even attracting some people who were already a little hungry. Hungry Tanjiro's attention.
Smelling the aroma of the fried food, Tanjiro, who had great trust in Zhao Youqian's craftsmanship, felt a little uncontrollable.
Fortunately, at this time, Nezuko came out with a brand-new little girl.
Otherwise, Tanjiro would have to sneak a piece to taste first.
It was precisely because of the reappearance of the little girl that Zhao Youqian could take the next step.
Otherwise, most diners would have their eyes fixed on the hill of eggplant boxes, and he could not guarantee that he would be able to completely protect the pile of food.
The oil temperature was raised again, until it reached over 175 degrees. It was also put in in batches, but this time Zhao Youqian had prepared a huge leakage net. The eggplant box could not be lowered for more than 20 seconds, otherwise it would Confused.
'Must be quick!'
With his eyes fixed on the oil pan, Zhang Xiaofan, who had already put the cooked meatballs and soup into another pot, acted as a tool again and put about one-third of the eggplant box in the hill into the oil pan. The amount of one.
In an instant, a sound like a thunderstorm hitting the ground was heard.
A rich aroma of fried food wafted out.
What's more important is the sudden flash of golden light, accompanied by several farmers' shouts, making the diners present feel like they have arrived in a summer vegetable field.
The fresh earthy fragrance, the vines climbing on the supports, and the black pigs leisurely walking back and forth underground.
It is simply a perfect pastoral scene.
"Can cooking create such anomalies?"
Hearing, vision, smell, the trinity, even if Whitebeard didn't eat it, he seemed to have entered the countryside.
Even the little girl who had just come out looked at everything around her with her big, confused eyes, exuding a childlike side, and even waved her hands left and right, wanting to chase the black pigs in the countryside.
It was at this time that Zhao Youqian picked up the leaking net in his hand and fished out the eggplant box from the oil pan at once.
The unusually rich aroma of fried vegetables spreads, which means that the fried eggplant box dish has been completely completed!
