Food Circle Plug-in Emperor - Chapter 808
Chapter 808 Sour teeth
After determining the specific dishes of the herbal diet, Fu Yu already had a relatively comprehensive positioning and arrangement for the cooking operation in Fu Yu’s mind.
Wait for Zhang Zhen to count the existing ingredients and Chinese medicinal materials in the back kitchen, and then contact the buyer to replenish the stock immediately.
Fu Yu just started to make arrangements, and he was going to cook a medicinal meal with relatively complete ingredients.
After drawing up the cooking order of several dishes, Fu Yu turned to Zhang Zhen and said, “Get ready to cook, Chef Zhang, send me a helper!”
After hearing this sentence, everyone in the back kitchen was full of energy and wanted to volunteer!
After all, this is a good opportunity to watch herbal cuisine cooking up close!
This kind of opportunity is rare, but in the end it depends on how the chef Zhang Zhen arranges the candidates.
Before, it was because the kitchen received a large number of orders and had many things to do, so when Fu Yu was cooking medicinal meals, Zhang Zhen always sent Zhou Yesong to help the kitchen.
But now that the new year is just over, it is the off-season, and things in the back kitchen are in order. I heard that Fu Yu is going to make medicinal food, not only the small workers, but even Lin Chef and Liu Chef are eager to look forward to it.
Isn’t it just a helper in the kitchen?
At a time like this, what is the difference between being in charge and not in charge!
In the field that you are not good at, whoever is good at the craft is the master chef!
Hearing that Fu Yu wanted to find someone to help, Chef Lin hurriedly recommended himself: “It just so happens that I’m done with my work here, Xiao Fu, I’ll come over and see if you need to do anything, I’ll do it.”
Upon hearing this, Chef Liu hurriedly said, “Yes, I’ve also made arrangements here, and I can help.”
Fu Yu and the two of them are also quite familiar. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile: “Okay, it’s really nothing, just need to prepare dishes, or help deliver something.”
Chef Lin raised his brows immediately. He couldn’t wait a long time ago, and quickly responded with a smile: “No problem, I can’t cook medicinal food, but it’s okay to help the cook.”
And Liu Chu smiled slightly, and knew that Fu Yu was a good person, and he didn’t hide his secrets at all. This person is really worth paying for!
The rest of the chefs who are eager to try are a little at a loss
There are all kinds of feelings in my heart, it’s too complicated!
It’s obviously just a job to help the cook, but I didn’t receive it, and I felt a little sour inside.
Especially Zhou Yesong, who had been working as a helper before, felt an unprecedented sense of loss!
After all, this opportunity is rare!
Others in the back kitchen watched with envy and envy as the two chefs passed happily and prepared to become assistant chefs.
At this time, the difference between high and low positions is reflected.
And when Chef Liu turned around, he almost couldn’t hold back his joy.
This kind of good opportunity to watch and learn to cook is to take the initiative to seize whatever you say. As for those who lose face, this thing cannot be eaten.
Throw it away, it doesn’t matter!
After all the dishes were prepared, Fu Yu started cooking quickly and orderly.
Compared with ordinary cooking, medicated food cooking will be more cumbersome in terms of operation steps. Not only must the processing of ingredients be considered, but also the preparation of medicinal materials, as well as the control of fire and taste.
Fu Yu stood in front of the kitchen counter, and put the ingredients and seasonings needed within easy reach.
Chu Lin and Chef Liu stood beside each other, one was in charge of handing the kitchen utensils, and the other was helping Zhang Luo prepare the dishes.
No matter how easy the work in the back kitchen is, there are still many things to do as a chef.
Zhang Zhen couldn’t stay by the side and watch Fu Yu cook, but as long as he had time, he would pay attention to the situation here, mainly because he was curious about what kind of medicinal food Fu Yu planned to cook today.
It is still Zhou Yesong who is in charge of Zhang Luo’s preparation of the dishes. In fact, the little worker should be in charge, but Liu Chef specially ordered Zhou Yesong to do it.
The work of preparing dishes may seem simple and arduous, but it actually tests Xiaogong’s basic cooking skills.
No matter what the dish is, it needs to be prepared before cooking.
When it comes to a dish, apart from the chef in charge knowing the ingredients that need to be used, the assistant chef who is responsible for helping Zhang Luo prepare the dishes knows best.
The same is true for cooking medicated diet. First understand the specific ingredients needed for a medicated diet, and then understand the processing method of the ingredients. When cooking, as long as you learn all the operating procedures, you can easily complete the cooking of a medicated diet.
In fact, the cooking process is often the same, nothing more than operations such as frying and frying.
For a seemingly inconspicuous task, Chef Liu deliberately entrusted Zhou Yesong to complete it.
Others don’t know it, but Zhou Yesong himself knows it very well. This is a good learning opportunity.
You must know that the amount of ingredients used in cooking a dish is also very critical. After mastering the specific ingredients that need to be used, and then finding an opportunity to learn how to cook medicinal food, not only can you get twice the result with half the effort, but you can also understand some of the particularities of Chinese herbal medicines.
For example, some medicinal materials cannot be soaked in water in advance, some need to be ground, and some even need to be freshly processed before use.
And these, if you don’t prepare the dishes yourself, you have no chance to learn, and you don’t pay attention to the details at ordinary times.
Zhou Yesong has been with Chef Liu for more than two years, and he has always been grateful for his master!
Don’t look at Liu Chu’s usual work, which seems to be simple and casual, and he doesn’t fight or grab.
But all the bad things can’t be touched by him at all, but none of the good things can be left behind.
It can be seen that this person is very rich in the city, but he does not like to fight, nor does he fight for success.
It was a chance in life for Zhou Yesong to work under Chef Liu.
In this life, one will always meet a few noble people. Zhang Zhen’s nobleman is the boss Yao Shi, and Zhou Yesong’s nobleman is the master Liu Chu.
These noble people will give you some help at critical times, and will give you a hand when some opportunities come.
This seemingly easy task is actually a big step forward for your life!
Because it was just preparing dishes, Zhou Yesong didn’t need to cut and handle them himself, so Zhou Yesong only had to follow Fu Yu’s arrangement and asked the workers to make preparations.
Zhou Yesong’s basic skills are very solid, and he is cautious and careful. After the small workers have finished all the preparations, he checked them carefully one by one, and then he safely took them to the kitchen counter for Fu Yu to cook.
Fu Yu has worked with Zhou Yesong before, knowing that he works meticulously, and he is very reassuring to use.
All the preparations are completed, and Fu Yu starts to cook the medicinal food!
First of all, mutton bone porridge, pork belly soup, and kelp duck soup.
These three medicated meals are time-consuming to cook, so you can save a lot of time by cooking the other medicated meals during this time.
Two soups and one porridge, it seems that the soup is more troublesome to cook, but in fact it is the most labor-intensive to make mutton bone porridge.
Because lamb bone is not like other ingredients, it has its own unique smell of mutton. If you want to make this taste delicious, you need to use seasoning properly when cooking, and try to increase the taste and freshness.
Similarly, the control of water consumption and heat is also a test of the chef’s skills.
It is also very important to be able to properly stew the umami flavor of the lamb bones and blend the tastes of other ingredients well.
So, when Fu Yu was cooking this herbal diet, he was very serious and spent a lot of time searching for the methods and tricks of stewing mutton bones.
The culinary feature of mutton bone porridge is mainly mutton bones.
Fu Yu completely followed the relevant instructions on stewing lamb bones in the detailed cooking instructions for some soups.
He chose fresh lamb bone.
After washing, boil the water in a pot under cold water to remove the blood foam, and take it out for later use.
Put warm water into the casserole, add the boiled lamb bones, and beat off the excess foam after the water boils.
The secret of this medicinal recipe lies in the need to crush the lamb bones and then decoct the soup.
In Bei’an, this kind of mutton bone porridge is stewed with a whole big bone. The rice soup also has the umami taste of mutton, but the unique smooth taste and aroma of bone marrow cannot be fully stewed. come out.
Crack all the lamb bones and fry the soup. The soup is rich in flavor and more nutritious.
As a medicinal diet, it is to find a way to extract all the nutrients of the ingredients and cook them together with the medicinal effects to achieve the effect of conditioning.
Fu Yu smashed all the sheep bones. He did this step very carefully, and all the sheep bones were smashed into fine bone residues.
Then put the lamb bones into the casserole and add the tangerine peel.
To make this medicated meal, the tangerine peel used is different from the ordinary tangerine peel that is usually used, and the white layer inside needs to be removed.
Add galangal, grass fruit and ginger.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of salt, add water, and boil over low heat to make juice.
Taking advantage of the time to stew the mutton bones, Fu Yu started cooking pork belly soup again.
The recipe of Pork Ling Soup is relatively simple.
Peel the Poria cocos, put it in a casserole, add water, add Poria cocos, Alisma and talc respectively, and boil over low heat.
After the pork belly soup is cooked, the taste is sweet and light, but it is not unpalatable.
But the problem is that Gao Shaoyuan can’t eat traditional Chinese medicine soup, so he definitely can’t accept the taste.
Fu Yu had already considered this problem when he decided on this medicinal diet.
However, pigling soup has a miraculous effect on hair growth and nourishment. If you want to make this dish a herbal meal, but you can’t change its taste, you can only find another way and find a way to solve this problem from other places.
Pigling soup was being boiled in the casserole, and when Fu Yu was busy cooking kelp and duck soup, a worker who was temporarily sent out to buy frozen shaguo came back at a trot.
“Fu Chu, is this okay?” Xiaogong handed the bag to Fu Yu, waiting for him to check.
Fu Yu opened the bag and took a look, and there were red frozen fruit inside.
Frozen Shaguo is the specialty of Beian.
Whether it is Chuanling fruit or Daqiu fruit, no matter what kind of frozen sand fruit it is, it will make people’s eyes shine. Their game taste is still the same, and will not be weakened in the slightest because of freezing. The familiar taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, and the haze in the heart Instantly dispelled.
Xiaogong bought crabapple fruit that is very common in the market. It tastes sour and sweet, and it feels like smoothie when eaten frozen.
This thing tastes sour and sweet at first, but after two bites, the glacial sourness will spread directly from the tip of the tongue to the gums, and you can’t taste anything.
It can be called a mouthful of sour teeth.
And this is what Fu Yu wanted.
Zhou Yesong got the order and handed over the frozen sand fruit to Xiaogong for processing.
Fu Yu asked to peel and remove the core, and grind it into smoothie.
Kelp duck soup was also stewed, and Fu Yu hurriedly cooked Atractylodes Poria cocos chicken.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hair is “the surplus of blood and the essence of kidney”, which is closely related to the spleen, stomach, liver and kidney.
The liver stores blood, if the liver blood is sufficient, the hair can have sufficient blood supply.
The spleen governs transportation and transformation, and is responsible for transporting nutrients to the whole body, including hair.
Essence qi in the kidney is the foundation of the human body. The growth of hair and the maintenance of health are closely related to the kidney, so the growth of hair is closely related to the rise and fall of qi and blood in the internal organs and meridians.
And this Atractylodes Poria cocos chicken is a medicinal diet specially for regulating the spleen and stomach.
Before cooking, Fu Yu first fried the barley in the ingredients.
Because barley removes dampness and promotes water, but it is also a little cold, so it needs to be fried to enhance the effect of removing dampness.
Cooking this dish is a soup that invigorates the spleen, clears away heat and dampness, and promotes water. In addition to various Chinese medicinal materials, chicken is added to make it more moist.
All the medicinal materials are cooked together, and it will not be bland.
The medicinal materials must be soaked in advance, so that it will be more delicious.
Fortunately, the medicinal materials used in this dish are all brewed in advance, and they can be used directly after being fished out.
Boil hot water in a pot, put the chicken and blanch it to remove impurities and dirt on the surface of the chicken.
Take out the blanched chicken and put it in a clean water basin, and run through cold water.
Wash the chicken with clean water, then prepare the soup pot.
Turn on the fire, turn it up to the maximum.
After the water boils, pour the chicken into it, along with the herbs.
Ginger slices, fried barley, soaked white lentils, and fresh Atractylodes macrocephala, after soaking, you will find that Atractylodes macrocephala has softened.
This way the taste will come out faster and it will be easier to cook.
Add fresh Smilax cocos, cover the pot, increase the heat, and bring the soup to a boil.
After boiling, reduce to medium heat and simmer.
All the stewed medicinal meals were put on the stove, and it only took half an hour.
Fu Yu’s hand speed is very fast when cooking, and his operation skills are also very skillful, especially the arrangement of each processing process is simply seamless, and every minute and every second is used reasonably.
And he is very careful and serious when cooking.
Because this is the guarantee of cooking success, and it is also the key factor for the perfect taste of stewed dishes.
Everyone present knew that this set of seemingly simple operations was actually worth learning in the details. Naturally, everyone held their breath and watched carefully.
But no matter what, the control of the fire is one of his biggest advantages!
Because Fu Yu can easily control the heat, allowing the soup to be heated perfectly during the cooking process.
At the same time, he can also precisely control the amount of water to ensure that the ingredients can reach the best ratio when stewing, without adding a drop of water.
Because Fu Yu’s eyes can clearly see the most suitable water level line, and then add water according to the standard to ensure that it is just right.
