Chapter 119: Good Taste
What makes a good meal?
The level is different, and the standard is not the same. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, the five-yuan lunch box on the street has only one standard or requirement, that is, heavy oil, heavy salt and heavy monosodium glutamate.
Heavy oil, so that you subconsciously feel that this dish is "affordable", and the store is willing to spend the money. In fact, of course, this is an illusion, and it is a big illusion, because inferior oil is not worth anything at all, and ordinary people can't tell the difference between five yuan a pound of oil and fifty yuan a pound of oil, but there is no difference to the tongue when eating.
Heavy salt, no matter how fresh the ingredients are, the salty taste is heavy, you can't eat anything, and there are even more ruthless stores, not only heavy salt but also heavy color, such as adding some soy sauce and the like, yes, even if the ingredients are expired to the point that the color has changed, you can't see it.
Heavy MSG and heavy salt go hand in hand, and the combination of the two makes people feel "this dish tastes good!"
So the three of them complement each other, and each other's shortcomings are covered up by the other side, so that this meal can be widely acclaimed, "good!" "delicious!" "very affordable!" "I've been eating at this house!"
Implement this purpose, and then try to compress and control the cost of ingredients, such a fast food restaurant, as long as the location is appropriate, even if it does not make a lot of money, it can also make a lot of money, on the contrary, if it does not follow this purpose, it is likely to lose a lot, and the more conscientious the ingredients used, the faster it will close down.
Therefore, if you let a chef with a level to open a fast food restaurant and close down in three days, it is appropriate. Because you don't need to cook at all! There is a kind of meal called anti-cooking.
People who are used to eating home-cooked meals can't eat this kind of meal.
What is a Home Cooked Meal?
Home-cooked meals are palatable and nourishing.
If you eat it at home, you will definitely not buy inferior ingredients, of course, except for a few people who are greedy for small and cheap food, or because you don't know the way and buy what seems to be good and bad. In general, home-cooked meals, at least in terms of ingredients, are guaranteed to a certain extent.
Then, there won't be so much oil, not so much salt, not so much flavor.
Most families know that eating too many of these things is not good for the body, occasionally even if the taste of a dish is heavy, other dishes or the next meal, will be a little lighter intentionally or unintentionally, and adjust it, such as eating fried chicken thighs at noon, and it is likely to have a millet porridge at night.
Every person who is in charge of a home, as long as he is not too stupid, will slowly learn the way of "neutralization" over the years, even if he may not know it.
If it can still have a better taste under the premise of neutralization, it is a good home-cooked meal.
Cooking, in fact, is at this level, paying more attention to ingredients, heat and taste.
In terms of taste, the average family knows to use some MSG chicken essence or soy sauce or something as a seasoning, and it will look dull if you don't add these things, but if you are a chef, you know a lot, and it is convenient to have at hand, so you can have stock, you can have mushroom powder, you can have sea intestine powder, or even if it is kelp soup, in some cases, you can also replace MSG. - Although MSG was originally extracted from kelp, and it is "blue out of blue".
As for onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, peppercorns, cumin, and other common special seasonings, not to mention.
These various seasoning and flavor enhancement methods are naturally not comparable to ordinary families, and if there are many means and suitable collocation, different dishes use different flavor enhancement methods, so a "good taste" cannot run away, and if the ingredients pass the test, the cooking heat is also suitable, with good taste, it is the overall "good taste".
Good taste, these three words are also the highest evaluation of a meal, which seems ordinary, but in fact it is very demanding.
It is the "long" and flavor of the ingredients, collocation, and heat with the cooperation of the three, and the taste is the icing on the cake and the finishing touch on the basis of the cotton. Good taste means that when you eat, it tastes good, the texture is good, and after eating, the stomach is comfortable and the body's feedback is good.
From good taste, to neutralization, to good taste, this is also a process from the outside to the inside, and then to the inside and the outside.
Over the years, the knowledge of the north and south, the sporadic popularity of Jia Gongzi, and the most important dream experience, these three pieces have combined to lead to Xu Guangling, although he is not yet a chef, but fundamentally, he has actually understood the purpose of cooking.
However, there is still a long way to go between understanding the purpose and becoming a master chef.
This journey, walking, is actually easy to walk, there are not too many potholes in the middle, it is not big in terms of difficulty, but it takes time. And the experience in the dream made up for everything, well, I can't say everything, I made up for it a lot.
Now let Xu Guangling create a dish by himself, it is probably impossible, let him make a dish that he has not seen in his dream, then he basically has to catch blind, so that the essence of parallel goods will be exposed, but let him "paint a cat according to the tiger" and draw a seven or eight images, the problem is still not big.
Zhang Lao first looked at the soup in the bowl, then picked it up, took a sip of the clear soup, or it was more appropriate to take a sip.
Just this action, Xu Guangling gave him a thumbs up. - This is a connoisseur.
No matter what kind of soup, if the cooking and heat are in place, the "nourishment" and "taste" are always melted into the soup, and it can be said that the clear soup is the barometer of the soup. If the consommé isn't so tasty, don't expect the whole soup to be tasty, it's impossible.
So if you are a gourmet, you don't need to move your chopsticks and spoons to taste a soup, as Zhang Lao is doing now, Xiaoba's mouthful of clear soup is enough.
And after this soup, Zhang Lao unexpectedly gave Xu Guangling a thumbs up: "Yes, humble words, there is a bit of level." ”
This is actually a high compliment.
It is really impossible to expect a person who has dealt with many imperial chefs and must have tasted many imperial dishes to be shocked immediately after tasting a bite of soup. - At least Xu Guangling's soup, no.
It's just that the materials are not enough.
The four ingredients used in this soup, except for the vermicelli, the other three can only be said to be decent, and it is possible to make up a number, but it is impossible to get a high score based on it.
However, after this compliment, Zhang Lao's second sentence was: "Humble words, you can hurt my old man, this soup of yours still tastes like the past, what can I do in the future?"
"If the teacher likes it, the disciple just comes over every day to make it for the old man, and it's okay. Xu Guangling said, sincerity and sincerity, not half of the tricks.
But at this time, he forgot that he didn't know much, to be exact, two or three. The rest, that's completely out of reach!
However, Zhang Lao laughed when he heard this, and then shook his head, "If God really knows and knows that the old man wasted a genius's time like this, it is estimated that it will be directly a nine-day lightning strike and take the old man away." In short, that's not how your time is spent, and it shouldn't be wasted here. ”
Mr. Chen is not as particular as Mr. Zhang, he starts directly, even eating and drinking.
And just after taking a bite, he immediately put down the bowl, and his face turned solemn and said, "That's not right!"
