Chapter 666: Sweet Potato-flavored Orange [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
After eating, Xu Zhuo went to the kitchen to see that the chicken soup had to be boiled for a while.
At this time, the foreigner chef was in a daze with a washed sweet potato, and when he saw Xu Zhuo coming in, he was so excited that he pulled Xu Zhuo, and even said with a gesture, as if he wanted to make sweet potatoes with Xu Zhuo.
Compared to sweet potatoes, Westerners are better at making potatoes.
The recipe for all kinds of potatoes is classic.
But for sweet potatoes, it seems to be a cheese-baked sweet potato.
Although this dish is delicious, you will always get tired of eating too much.
And if you use molecular materials to make sweet potatoes, if you just make them like this, you will inevitably be a little out of reach.
Xu Zhuo looked at the sweet potatoes on the table and began to think about how to make them.
Worried about the language barrier, Xu Zhuo called Zhou Wen in and asked her to act as a translator.
Then, Xu Zhuo began to discuss the preparation of sweet potatoes with the chef.
However, the concept of molecular cuisine is very different from the concept of Chinese food, and the two talked for a long time, but neither of them had Gatt to the other party's order.
Xu Zhuo is a man of action.
Seeing that this method didn't work, I had to make it by hand.
Yesterday, all the sweet potatoes in the utility room were used by Xu Zhuo, and today Zhao Guangming actually bought a box of sweet potatoes.
Although this thing has the same flavor as sweet potatoes, after steaming, the sweet potatoes are in a semi-liquid state, which has a greater water content than ordinary sweet potatoes and has a sweeter taste.
He thought about it, peeled the sweet potatoes, and steamed them in a pot.
During this period, the foreigner chef has been watching Xu Zhuo's operation, probably trying to find some inspiration from the way he makes sweet potatoes in Chinese food.
After the sweet potatoes were steamed, Xu Zhuo used a spoon to crush the sweet potatoes into a puree.
Honey potatoes feel more viscous because they have a higher sugar content.
However, the yellow color looks very good, which makes people very appetizing, and the sweet potato fragrance that keeps wafting out makes it feel good.
While Xu Zhuo was doing it, the chef stopped talking and watched Xu Zhuo's operation directly.
After all the sweet potatoes were mashed with a spoon, Xu Zhuo grabbed a handful of sweet potato starch and put it in, sprinkled some sugar, then washed his hands, and directly started stirring and pounding.
Until the starch and sweet potato mash are integrated, Xu Zhuo boiled the water in the pot, and after boiling, turned on a low heat to keep the water in the pot slightly boiling.
Then he scooped up some sweet potato puree, kneaded it into a round ball, and carefully threw it into the pot.
This is the method of sweet potato dumplings in Chinese food.
Because these meatballs are boiled in water, they have a soft and waxy taste and a moderate sweetness, which is more suitable for the elderly and children.
In addition, the sweet potato balls produced in this way are translucent, and the appearance is relatively high.
And the translucent sweet potato balls are served in a bowl, and they look better in appearance.
Xu Zhuo put half of the pot into the pot, and was just about to burn the oil and fry it again, when the chef who had been watching next to him suddenly became excited, he didn't know what he said, so he went to work, which made Xu Zhuo a little surprised.
He made sweet potatoes into balls, but after eating two molecular dishes, he found that many dishes were in the shape of balls, so he wanted to fish in troubled waters in this way.
Of course, it would be better if the chef could have the inspiration to make sweet potato puree after reading this, but Xu Zhuo's main purpose is to fool the system.
Now it seems that it really gave the chef some inspiration.
"What is he doing? Uulala said a lot, and I couldn't understand a single word. ”
The chef's speech was a little fast just now, and Zhou Wen didn't understand too much: "He seems to say that he can make this yellow ball into an orange, but it still needs to be tested, so let you wait for a while." ”
Just wait.
It would be great if you could make sweet potatoes into oranges.
It's just that......
No matter how he looks at the meatballs in the pot, it has nothing to do with oranges.
I don't know what kind of aesthetic this chef is.
Soon, the sweet potato balls in the pot were cooked.
The chef was also busy with the preparations, and he fished out the sweet potato balls from the pot to control the water.
When the temperature of the sweet potato balls cools down, the color becomes darker, and the overall appearance is translucent and light orange.
The chef carefully rolled it on a tray with a tong, and the meatballs were suddenly stained with a white web-like substance.
This layer of white net is thick and thin, and when paired with sweet potato balls, the feeling of orange comes out immediately.
Next, the chef used tweezers to clip some thin white strips and carefully stick them on top of the balls, and the oranges became petals by petals.
"Hey, it's pretty similar. ”
Xu Zhuo didn't expect this chef's skills to be so good, if he didn't look carefully at this time, he would really treat it as a peeled orange.
But that's not all.
The chef flattened the fake orange a little more, and added some white substance to the ends.
It seems to be sugar or something.
Now, it has completely become a peeled orange.
Xu Zhuo casually took an orange from the fruit basket next to him and peeled it, and put it together with the fake orange, it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake......
Awesome!
Then it's time for the chef's show.
Not only did he make the oranges, but he also made the orange peel with other ingredients.
An hour later, the plate of boiled sweet potato balls that had just been boiled turned into a plate of oranges.
Some oranges have been peeled, some have been peeled in half, and some are whole oranges.
Even for the sake of credibility, the chef sprayed a little orange juice on the orange with a small sprayer, which added to the credibility.
After doing it, Xu Zhuo took a look at the random task and showed that it had been completed.
But what about the rewards?
Didn't you say that you got the opportunity to get to know Guo Shuying?
What about people?
Xu Shu looked left and right, not to mention Guo Shuying, except for him and Zhou Wen, there was not even a Chinese in the entire kitchen, all foreigners were busy preparing dishes.
The chef took the plate, pulled Xu Zhuo, and said a word of English happily.
He said that it was time for us to surprise our guests, take a walk, go out and let them see the newly made oranges. ”
When the three of them came outside, Zhao Guangming's friends didn't take it seriously when they saw that it was a plate of oranges, and continued to play with their mobile phones or chat.
However, those handsome foreign guys surrounded and took pictures with their mobile phones.
Although they didn't ask, Xu Zhuo knew that they must have guessed that this was a dessert, and it was newly made.
Because it's brought out by the chef.
In Western food, the dishes that can be served by the chef himself are quite heavy.
It is precisely because of the weight that it ......
After they finished taking the photo, they were not embarrassed to eat directly, but stood aside and waited for Zhao Guangming, who had finished greeting his friends, to come over and eat together.
At this time, among Zhao Guangming's friends, a girl in her twenties dressed like a sister strode over, pinched an orange and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Eat an orange to moisten it...... Why does this orange smell like a sweet potato?"
