Chapter 055: The Master Strikes
Xu Zhuo didn't expect Wei Junming to be like this.
People in their fifties and sixties are actually like children.
In fact, it is no wonder that Wei Junming is so out of shape.
The main reason is that he has not eaten hot and sour noodle fish in the Central Plains for a long time.
For many people, food is not only satisfying, but more importantly, it is mixed with memories.
For example, when watching food shows, when hometown dishes appear.
Many people realize that they haven't tasted this dish in a few years.
When I see this dish, some memories of this dish will come to mind in the depths of my mind.
This is called taste memory.
Hot and sour noodle fish is a very common Central Plains snack, so common that I haven't eaten it for many years, and I can't remember to eat it.
But once you taste it, those feelings in the depths of your memory will also emerge.
Some people feel homesick when they see their hometown food.
It's because this hometown dish has memories of home.
Wei Junming is so out of shape, which is also the reason.
He ate more than just this ordinary bowl of sour and hot noodle fish.
And all the memories of his youth in Linping City.
Three, five, two, clean the hot and sour noodle fish in the bowl.
Wei Junming smacked his lips unhappily, obviously wanting to eat.
However, when he saw Xu Zhuo and the others next to him dumbfounded, he couldn't help but blush.
"Xu Zhuo, I'm starting to stir-fry, you come and see. ”
After speaking, he looked at Jianguo, who was a little excited: "You can also take a look." ”
The two followed him to the stove, and Yu Keke quietly came over with the DV.
The ingredients are ready, just wait for the heat to stir-fry.
Wei Junming washed the frying pan first, and then it began.
Pour oil into the pan and heat the pan first.
Once the oil is hot, turn the pan so that the bottom of the pan is completely covered with oil.
This step is to prevent the pan from sticking.
Pour out the oil and re-add the cool oil.
After heating, add Sichuan pepper and star anise, fry until fragrant, and add a spoonful of bean paste.
Yu Keke watched a lot of videos on Station B, and couldn't help but interject at this time: "Inject soul." ”
Stir-fry the red oil, Wei Junming poured in the torn gluten, turned on high heat and stir-fried.
I don't know if it's because I ate a bowl of hot and sour noodles.
I still want to deter Xu Zhuo and Jianguo, two rookies in the culinary world.
Wei Junming used several ways to turn the spoon in a row.
The skills of big spoon, small spoon, assistant spoon, hanging spoon and so on were shown in front of the two of them.
The three onlookers were dazzled.
Xu Zhuo and Jianguo are okay, they can finally see the way.
And Yu Keke didn't understand anything, he just thought it was amazing.
The dishes in the pot are all turned upside down in the air, and they can still fall steadily in the pot.
It's simply breathtaking.
This girl didn't know that her grandfather and her father were only above Wei Junming, not below Wei Junming.
After turning for a few minutes, pour in the sliced green and red peppers.
Flip a few times and season out of the pan.
A plate of small fried hand-pulled gluten is ready.
Serving it out, Wei Junming asked Xu Zhuo: "This is a typical Sichuan cuisine stir-frying, do you feel after reading it?"
The honest Boss Xu swallowed his saliva: "Hungry ......"
Wei Junming was originally ready to tell Xu Zhuo about the precautions for Sichuan-style stir-frying.
After hearing this, I suddenly lost interest in continuing to speak.
"Eat, eat, I'll have to go back later." ”
Tearing the gluten out, Xu Zhuo made cucumbers and onion fungus, and filled more than a dozen sheep's feet.
The hot and sour noodle fish is directly mixed in a large pot, and whoever eats it will serve it.
Everyone eats.
Wei Junming tasted a mouthful of gluten and another bite of cucumber.
"Xu Zhuo, this sauce is good, but it is still lacking, I will help change it after eating. ”
Boss Xu was so happy in his heart.
He'd just made a cucumber.
It's the idea of asking Wei Junming to help improve it.
Unexpectedly, Wei Junming brought it up first.
"Uncle Wei, eat sheep's trotters, come and come, this sheep's trotters actually taste better when eaten cold, and they are very chewy......"
Boss Xu looked fake polite.
As soon as Wei Junming put down the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Zhuo dragged him into the back kitchen.
"Uncle Wei, how do you say this cold sauce should be improved?"
On the table was a bowl of cold sauce that had just been mixed by Xu Zhuo.
Wei Junming tasted it, and it was very simple to distinguish all the ingredients.
"Sugar, light soy sauce, white vinegar, oyster sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, chili oil. This ratio is pretty good, but you shouldn't put minced garlic in it. ”
Xu Zhuo was stunned when he said this.
If you can't put minced garlic, will the cucumber be delicious?
Wei Junming looked left and right: "Xu Zhuo, do you have a juicer here?"
Xu Zhuo turned one out of the utility room.
This is the one he bought himself last year when he wanted to drink pomegranate juice.
After cleaning it, Xu Zhuo squeezed some garlic juice according to Wei Junming's request.
After squeezing, Wei Junming asked Xu Zhuo to cut five cucumbers.
He started with a bowl of cold sauce.
The recipe was what Xu Zhuo had just said, but Wei Junming adjusted the proportion.
He cut back on light soy sauce and increased sugar.
At the same time, the white vinegar was replaced with rice vinegar.
Half a basin of cold sauce was made at a time.
Seeing that Xu Zhuo was chopping vegetables, he was a little flustered.
It's a waste to do so much, if it's not delicious.
Wei Junming took the spoon and began to stir the juice.
Yu Keke, who was full of food and drink, came over and was very curious about this half pot of black sauce.
"Uncle Wei, what is this? It smells good. ”
Wei Junming explained to the girl with a smile while stirring: "The cold sauce made, you will know later." ”
After the five cucumbers were cut, Wei Junming was almost stirred here.
He carefully put the five cucumbers into the pot and marinated them for about ten minutes.
Then remove and drain the excess juice.
Then use blotting paper to wipe the juice off the surface.
Restore the cucumber to its original shape and place it on a plate.
At first glance, it looks like a freshly washed cucumber on a plate.
From a presentation point of view, this look is a failure.
It's mediocre and unappealing.
Wei Junming took the chopsticks and handed them to Xu Zhuo: "You taste it." ”
Xu Zhuo was a little disappointed.
Improvement is improvement, how to change the shape?
Can this be delicious?
It's obviously just a raw cucumber.
He patiently took a piece and put it in his mouth.
I just chewed it twice, and my eyes widened.
"Damn, this is too delicious!"
When Yu Keke heard this, he immediately took a pair of chopsticks from the side, took a piece and put it in his mouth.
In the mouth, the cucumber aroma is first, and then the salty and umami flavor of the sauce.
Chew it twice, and there is a hint of garlic.
After swallowing, the aftertaste is a little sweet.
A cucumber can actually eat so many flavors.
It's just amazing.
Xu Zhuo looked at Wei Junming and asked with some puzzlement: "Uncle Wei, why is it so soaked, the taste has become a compound taste, you are too powerful!"
Wei Junming smiled and waved his hand, his expression was very modest.
"It's your mistake, this kind of umami dish is not suitable for chili oil, it's too noisy. You don't like chili peppers when you look at Cantonese food. ”
"However, the recipe for this salad is really good, I just replaced the unsightly minced garlic with garlic juice and removed the chili oil. The rest is all thanks to you......"
