Chapter 597: The Successor of Zhejiang Cuisine [Asking for Votes]
In the field of boiling sugar, because the oil frying method is more risky, this method of boiling sugar has a natural advantage.
On the contrary, boiling with water is very commonplace.
Even if it is perfectly done, it is "mediocre" in the eyes of professional chefs.
In fact, if you want to put it aside, Pang Shijie must use oil to fry properly.
But today, in order to convince Xu Zhuo, he took it for granted that he used the water boiling method, because Pang Shijie felt that Xu Zhuo should choose water boiling.
As a result, his nephew and son-in-law did not play his cards according to common sense at all.
Of course, this also blames Pang Shijie for being too careless.
He should wait for Xu Zhuo to do it before deciding which method to use to boil the sugar, always thinking that Xu Zhuo was young, and it was too risky to fry in oil, who knew that as soon as he poured the sugar into the water, Xu Zhuo began to use oil here.
If you change the method at this time, Pang Shijie really can't pull this face, so he can only make mistakes.
He had a hunch that he might not win today.
Because as a professional chef, I know too well the difference between the two ways of stir-frying and boiling.
The water boiling method is at the level of a housewife, and even people who don't have cooking skills can make it.
Only the frying method can reflect the professionalism of a chef.
The wrong choice of boiling sugar does not mean that you have to lose, but it must be based on the opponent's performance mistakes, such as accidents in the process of frying sugar, or obvious shortcomings in other links.
Pang Shijie secretly observed Xu Zhuo for a long time, but he didn't see any mistakes in this child.
On the contrary, in some links, he did even better than his uncle.
This made Dai Zhenting, who originally wanted to knock Xu Zhuo on the side, worried that the child would fall into fame and not want to make progress, suddenly couldn't accept it.
If it weren't for the fact that there were outsiders next to him, he really wanted to smoke Pang Shijie's two crutches.
Dai Zhenting is not only Pang Shijie's father-in-law, but also Pang Shijie's mentor, it was Pang Shijie's outstanding performance in the back kitchen that made Dai Zhenting have the idea of marrying his daughter.
As a result, his proud protΓ©gΓ© is now about to be defeated by a young man of twenty years old, which no one can stand anymore.
The oil frying time is relatively fast, and without waiting for the oil to heat up, Xu Zhuo scooped a spoonful of white sugar and poured it into the pot, and then began to stir-fry over low heat.
In just over a minute, the sugar in the pot has been stir-fried and has taken on the color of small grinding sesame oil.
At this time, it is actually the state of drawing silk, but if you make glass, you have to fry it a few times.
When bubbles appeared in the sugar juice, Xu Zhuo divided half of the steamed open smiles and poured them into the pot.
He held the wok in one hand and a spoon in the other, and lifted the pot off the heat for six or seven seconds, so that all the sugar in the pan hung on the open smile.
Then take out of the pot, pour the open smile from the pot into a tray, and spread it all out with a spoon by the way.
At this time, it cannot be plated, and it can only be plated at this time when the temperature of the sugar juice drops down and solidifies into an amber glass shell on the surface of the smile.
Making this dish is actually the same as making a rock sugar gourd.
After hanging the sugar, it can no longer be moved, and it will not be operated until it has cooled and formed.
Otherwise, it will affect the appearance and taste of the finished product.
After washing the pot, Pang Shijie had just boiled the sugar juice here, and after the golden bubbles appeared in the pot, he poured the steamed open smile into the pot and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
It's nothing to lose to his nephew and son-in-law, after all, people are famous.
But the thought of having to take out 20,000 yuan from his small treasury made Pang Shijie feel bad.
Originally, he planned to take advantage of Xu Zhuo's enthusiasm when he had just become a visiting professor to find a way to win some private money, but ......
This kid is poisonous, and I will never bet with him again.
After the chagrin, Pang Shijie's mentality was much calmer.
Even if you can't win, you can't lose too ugly, otherwise it won't be a matter of 20,000 yuan, which is about the dignity of a middle-aged man.
Like Xu Zhuo, Pang Shijie poured the smile into the pot, stir-fried it a few times, and then poured it into the tray, and then he quickly washed the pot and prepared to make a smile.
This time, he didn't boil it with water, and changed it to the oil frying method.
First heat the pan with cold oil to prevent the pan from sticking, then pour a little peanut oil on the side of the pan, add a spoonful of white sugar, and stir-fry over low heat.
Xu Zhuo washed the pot for a long time just now, and he deliberately waited for the sugar juice in the tray next to him to cool down, so the time when Xu Zhuo started to do silk drawing was almost the same as Pang Shijie.
Not only the starting time is the same, but the actions of frying the sugar after pouring the oil into the pan are also the same.
It's like a person cooking in front of a mirror.
But everyone's attention is still on Xu Zhuo.
No way, being young is an advantage.
A chef in his forties and fifties doing these things is completely different from a chef in his twenties.
After the sugar in the pot was stir-fried and took on the color of small sesame oil, the two of them poured the rest of the smile into the pot at the same time, and turned off the heat at the same time.
Then the two of them stir-fried at the same time with a small spoon, so that the sugar juice hung on the smile as much as possible.
Seeing this, Dai Zhenting's frowning brows gradually relaxed.
Obviously, he noticed the change in Pang Shijie.
Originally, he looked like he was suffering from gains and losses, and his mind was not on cooking at all.
And now, his mind has obviously calmed down, and the frequency of Xu Zhuo's movements is exactly the same, and the two of them operate like this, showing an indescribable charm.
As someone who has worked hard in the back kitchen all his life, it is natural to know that this is a manifestation of full concentration in cooking.
A chef can only have this state if he puts his mind on the dishes.
The two of them kept stir-frying in the pot and laughing, not only to make the sugar juice hang more evenly on top of the smile, but also to cool the sugar juice.
Only when the temperature drops down and the sugar juice becomes more viscous will it show the effect of pulling silk.
Two minutes later, the two of them put the open smile in the pot on the plate.
At this time, the sugar juice was already viscous, and there were even golden strands of sugar on the spoon when it came out of the pot.
Use chopsticks to adjust the smile on the plate, then prepare a bowl of cold water and put it aside.
The reason for preparing cold water is to make it easier to disconnect the shredded sugar from the cold.
At this time, the glazed smiles in the tray had also taken shape, and Xu Zhuo used chopsticks to put these crystal clear smiles on the plate and put them in shape.
He brought it to everyone and said, "It's all ready, everyone can taste it as they like." β
Pang Shijie next to him had already prepared the two dishes, he walked over and patted Xu Zhuo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The future is terrifying, kill me all over the ground to find teeth." β
After speaking, he took out his mobile phone very shamefully and transferred 20,000 yuan to Xu Zhuo.
Xu Zhuo glanced at Pang Shijie with some surprise, it's really rare to be so straightforward, don't you want a small treasury?
After turning the money, Pang Shijie sighed with emotion: "Originally, I thought that this life would be like this, eating and waiting for death to play until I was old, but today Xiao Zhuo taught me a lesson."
As a chef, you must treat your food with care and your craft at all times. β
After speaking, he looked at Dai Zhenting and said, "Dad, this year I plan to open a branch in Yuhang District to put some pressure on myself." β
Dai Zhenting's face was full of relief: "Shame and courage, you are very good." Shijie, the burden of inheriting Zhejiang cuisine may fall on your shoulders in the future, don't let me down. β
These words can almost be regarded as the successor of Pang Shijie as a Zhejiang cuisine.
Xu Zhuo was just about to congratulate Pang Shijie, but the prompt sound of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden quest [Descendants of Zhejiang Cuisine], and the B-level famous dish of Zhejiang cuisine - stewed meat with dried vegetables will be rewarded, congratulations to the host. β
Xu Zhuo: ????
There's a bonus to that too?
