Chapter 102: Fifty Stars of Dongpo Meat
"Wensi Tofu!"
Because of the thickening and seasoning, it is indeed difficult to judge Wensi tofu based on the sense of smell alone, but Su Zifang thought that this specialty dish was indispensable in all the descriptions of Xue Yi, and Xue Yi's own seasoning, heat, and knife work were all in one.
The three dishes in front of you are actually easy to guess.
It is very likely that there are three famous dishes of Huaiyang cuisine: Dongpo meat, Wensi tofu, and three sets of duck.
Su Zifang told his guess.
Xue Yi smiled and lifted the lid, "That's right, it's indeed the three things you said." ”
Although they had already guessed that it was these three dishes, after Xue Yi himself confirmed, Su Zifang and Shen Anyan were still a little excited.
For Su Zifang, tasting this kind of food made by the top chef in the culinary world, and feeling the heat and mood of the top chef when making the food, is very helpful to improve his own cooking skills.
And Shen Anyan is much simpler, is it not worth the excitement to be able to eat the dishes of the chef in front of the building?
Xue Xinjian often eats these dishes of Xue Yi, and when he heard the name, he had already made up the taste in his brain, half lost and half begged: "Grandpa, is there no other dish?"
"Yes!" Xue Yi turned his gaze to Su Zifang.
"Didn't you say that it was excellent to make Longjing shrimp? I deliberately left a basket of Longjing shrimp, and by the way, made a shrimp curd, isn't it enough?"
Su Zifang: ......
Although I had expected myself to cook before I came, I didn't expect it to be such a direct link, so I served it for lunch.
"You can use the ingredients in the kitchen as you like, and the old man won't accompany you. New note, you put it down. ”
"Okay. Xue Xinjian got up with a smile.
"I'll help you. Shen Anyan also followed with a smile.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Su Zifang was shocked by Xue Yi's generosity, and the simple and simple appearance of the residential kitchen was pretended to be the kitchen of a five-star hotel.
"Is Master Xue sleeping in the kitchen?" Su Zifang couldn't help but tease.
"He had this plan, but I scolded him back. Xue Xinjian's eyes were a little more complicated when he looked at Su Zifang, "As chefs, do you all like to collect kitchen knives and kitchen utensils?"
"What do you mean?" Su Zifang was stunned by the sudden question.
"That's it...... That's it!" Xue Xinjian raised his hand and waved a few times under the wall cabinet, and the back panel of the wall cabinet sounded softly, and slowly sank down a row of supports, on which countless knives and cutting boards were placed.
"And so. Xue Xinjian opened the cabinet below, revealing a full of small kitchen utensils, from yogurt makers to cooking machines, and even several coffee machines.
"Isn't your grandfather a master of Huaiyang cuisine?" Su Zifang suddenly became suspicious of the information he found on the Internet. How can there be a Chinese chef with so many modern kitchenware, or a Huaiyang cuisine master who is good at his kung fu, he is afraid that he has met a fake Xue Yi!
"yes. Xue Xinjian nodded and did not deny it.
"Then what's the matter with these kitchen utensils?" Su Zifang's curiosity was hooked, as if a cat kept scratching his heart.
The smile on Xue Xinjian's face instantly froze, and his voice was a little more justified: "Some of them were bought before." That is, you know that I am a food critic, so naturally people will ask me to review kitchenware...... So, huh...... That's it. ”
"Really?" Su Zi stared at Xue Xinjian suspiciously.
"Ahem, you are busy first, I won't get involved. Xue Xinjian quickly changed the topic, leaving the kitchen for Su Zi to play freely.
"What do you mean by asking the new note?"
She is a chef, let her say that the clothes and fabrics are better, but it is too difficult for her to participate in the chef industry, so Shen Anyan has been listening just now, and when she saw Xue Xinjian leaving, she couldn't help but come up and gossip.
"Chef Xue is a master of Huaiyang cuisine, a chef of this level, where will he use this kind of kitchenware, you see, even the dough mixer and dumpling folding tools are available...... At first glance, Xue Xinjian bought it himself and wanted to cook, but he used it once and put it here. ”
Shen Anyan recalled Xue Xinjian's poisonous tongue when she usually commented on Jiangshan, but in private, she was a cooking idiot who didn't even know how to make dumplings, so she couldn't help laughing.
"Uh, what are you laughing at?"
"It's just the idea that someone is amazing on the surface, but in fact doesn't know even the most basic things, it's so cute. ”
Su Zi was taken aback, could it be that Shen Anyan saw through that she could only cook these few dishes?
"Wait, I must let Xinjian make a specialty dish, and let me try to complain about others. Shen Anyan didn't see Su Zifang's expression, and said to herself.
After figuring out that what he and Shen Anyan said was not the same thing, Su Zi relaxed and began to prepare the dishes he was going to make.
Because the preparation of Longjing shrimp and shrimp curd was not something that Shen Anyan could handle, Shen Anyan's hand became to help Su Zifang catch the water and change the water on the side.
It's really not much faster than one person.
However, there was always a beautiful woman to accompany and talk, and when Su Zi put the cooking ingredients in a better speed and state, even Xue Yi was a little surprised when the dishes were served.
"So fast?"
"Well, the state is better, and with An Yan's help, it's faster. ”
Xue Yi glanced at Shen Anyan thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at Xue Xinjian, and shook his head slightly.
"Then let's try it first. Xue Yi put out the dishes and chopsticks to signal everyone to take a seat, "It's not as hot as it just came out of the pot, but it should be just right for the entrance." ”
Under the casserole, there is a layer of blanched Shanghai green, which looks verdant, and is lined with squarely cut pieces of meat, bright in color, like agate, with moderate elasticity, just by looking at the appearance, you know that the taste is excellent.
Su Zifang first picked up a piece of Dongpo meat, untied the cotton thread, and tied it with chopsticks, which was easily pierced. The oil under the skin oozes slightly along the chopsticks holes, exuding a charming meaty aroma, and the sweet smell burrows into the nasal cavity, making Su Zifang can't help but swallow a large ball of saliva.
When the meat was like a mouth, Su Zifang's face changed instantly.
Thin but not firewood, fat but not greasy is no longer enough to describe this piece of Dongpo meat in the mouth.
The fat melts in the mouth, sliding into the throat like melting snow, making every part of the body feel delicious and delicate, and when you chew it carefully, the lean meat begins to ooze the aroma of wine, which mixes with the aroma of meat, and is full of happiness.
If the happiness index of the braised pork made by Su Zifang is five stars, then Xue Yi's Dongpo meat is about fifty stars!
After a long aftertaste, Su Zifang finally came back to his senses and began to set his eyes on the other two dishes.
Dongpo meat is already so tempting, so how wonderful should the Wensi tofu with the peak of knife work and the three sets of duck that integrate knife work, heat and seasoning.
"Let's try Wensi Tofu first. Xue Yi saw that Su Zifang wanted to move three sets of ducks, and opened his mouth to instruct.
"Hmm, is there any order for these three dishes?" asked Shen Anyan puzzled.
Xue Yi smiled and didn't speak, and looked at Su Zifang: "What do you say?"
"Probably because the Dongpo meat itself tastes very mellow, if you eat three sets of duck now, the taste will not be so perfect, so use Wensi tofu to neutralize it. ”
"Well, that's right. Xue Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Of course, there is another reason, I'll tell you when I start eating." ”
"And another reason?"
Su Zifang's hand stretched out to Wen Si Tofu suddenly stopped......
It's really terrible to talk halfway through!
