Chapter 114: The Chef's Realm

It wasn't until the next morning, when Xue Yi and Su Zi put it in the kitchen to re-prepare the ingredients for the crab roe soup dumplings, Su Zifang still couldn't believe the reality that it took him a day to get started with top-notch white case dishes.

The kneading technique is not unfamiliar, but the dough in the basin is still not formed into a ball.

Pork bones, chicken racks, and chicken feet are stewed on the stove, and the soup pot is boiling and fragrant.

Xue Yi skillfully stirred the ingredients in the pot, glancing in the direction of Su Zifang from time to time.

Su Zifang was watched a few times, and he also noticed that Xue wanted to stop talking.

"Master, if you have something to say, just say it. ”

Xue Yi coughed lightly and said, "Your method of harmony is wrong. ”

"It's too urgent to add water, the dough kneaded like this can't hold the soup, you have to add a small amount of more, as well as the water and egg whites, it looks like you have forgotten everything. ”

Xue Yi sighed, and his tone was a little hidden.

Su Zifang: ......

"Let's do it all over again. ”

It was probably a whole night, and Xue Yi already had a clear understanding of Su Zifang's strength.

So now I can still calm down when I see such dough.

Of course, there may also be reasons why he saw the shadow of the old man on Su Zifang.

Once people get old, they always have a little nostalgia for the old.

Su Zifang didn't have so much emotion, and quickly put aside half of the dough, although these noodles can't be used to make crab roe soup dumplings, they can still be made into Yangchun noodles.

The dough was prepared step by step according to Xue Yi's instructions, and the time was almost noon.

Xue Yi had already put the stewed soup into a square container and put it in the refrigerator.

According to Su Zifang's experience, it is estimated that it will be condensed into jelly in another half an hour.

"Go fry crab roe stuffing, Boss Wang should be coming soon. Xue Yi glanced at the time and ordered.

"Hmm. Su Zifang agreed very neatly, after all, peeling crab meat and preparing meat filling was one of the few processes that he could make Xue Yi worry.

The noodle skills are average, and the knife skills are also average, but the heat is quite passable, and he is a third-floor chef.

This is Xue Yi's evaluation of Su Zifang.

"What's a third-floor chef?"

Su Zifang thought that Xue Yi's dialect was too heavy and didn't make it clear, but after listening to the explanation, he realized that Xue Yi deliberately ridiculed himself.

"Knife work on the first floor, seasoning on the second floor, and heat on the third floor, you can only heat it, isn't it equivalent to a chef on the third floor?"

By the time Su Zi put the fried crab roe meat filling, Wang Fugui was really speechless.

It is also rare to wear a clean and neat suit, although it is a little ill-fitting, but you can see that the material and cut are of high quality.

"Boss Su, I don't know ......"

Su Zifang knew that he was anxious to prepare the crab roe soup dumplings, and said with relief: "The raw materials are ready, just wait for the steaming, it's almost ready." ”

"That's good!" Wang Fugui nodded and sat down with his hands in his hands, his eyes glancing at the kitchen from time to time.

Su Zifang asked Yang Qiong to pay more attention to the store, and continued to go back to help.

When he returned to the kitchen, Xue Yi had already cut the skin jelly and was rolling out the bun skin.

"The skin jelly can't be mixed with the crab roe filling, it's best to use as much as you want, otherwise the temperature will be too high and it will all melt. ”

"I know this......" Su Zifang whispered.

"Well, it's good to know. ”

Xue Yi set his eyes on the steamer.

The steamer that Chen Chuyi bought is of exceptional quality, the main body is made of bamboo, each layer is equipped with a handle, and the air holes and grid sizes are different, which is suitable for cooking a variety of dishes.

Xue Yi picked two baskets made of bamboo strips and began to boil water on the pot.

"The choice of steamer for crab roe soup dumplings is actually very important, but many people don't have this awareness now. ”

"Huh?" Su Zifang showed a look of surprise.

He only knew that the variety of cooking fire that was circulated in the outside world determined the taste of the food, such as the widely circulated chain of cooking flames: firewood> liquefied gas fire> alcohol fire> induction cooker.

As a result, a new name was heard today: Equipment Party!

"The steamer can actually determine the quality of the buns?" he suspected that Xue was joking.

Xue Yi glanced at Su Zifang and knew that he hadn't understood what he meant, so he took the initiative to remind.

"Do you remember when I told you yesterday the key points of steaming crab roe soup dumplings?"

"Remember!" Su Zi responded quickly

"Tell me about it. ”

"Don't use a strong fire when steaming the buns, otherwise it will easily break through the skin of the buns and cause the soup to flow out......"

"Oh!" Su Zifang reacted suddenly.

Although the traditional steamer can also be used to steam crab roe soup dumplings, due to the large pores, the ventilation and heat permeability during steaming are uneven, which can easily cause a rotten bottom situation for novices.

However, after changing to a flat-bottomed steamer made of bamboo strips, because the steamer itself is breathable, the buns can not only solve the problem of poor control of heat and steam volume, but also will not appear uneven force, which can greatly improve the success rate of steamed crab roe soup dumplings.

"Zifang, you have to remember that things don't exist independently. ”

"For example, this crab roe soup dumpling, although it is a basket of steamed buns, there are many steps in it that are interrelated. ”

"If you choose to mix noodles, you are destined to have a fixed proportion of fillings. When you choose the filling ratio, you choose the porosity of the steamer. If you choose the stomata arrangement, it means that the production time has been calculated. ”

"So I said your steamer is good. ”

"The size of the crab roe soup dumplings prepared for Boss Wang is not small, if you use a regular steamer, the skin may break, I was still thinking about putting a layer of cage cloth, but now it seems to be just right. ”

Xue Yi added.

Xue Yi's words were plain and simple, but they were like a bomb in Su Zifang's mind.

He never imagined that a dish would be so connected. And the so-called "equipment party" really exists.

Xue Yi knew that he needed a while to digest this thought, so he didn't continue to arrange any work for Su Zi, boiled water by himself, put the wrapped buns on the steamer, and covered the lid.

"Thank you, Master!"

After about a minute, Su Zifang looked at Xue Yi and said seriously.

He is not a novice, and he knows that compared to technology, the improvement of the realm is obviously more important.

If a chef only studies knife work, heat, and seasoning, then he can only be a craftsman to achieve the best.

However, Xue Yi's words just now had jumped out of the category of a craftsman, faintly guiding him to a higher level.

If it is explained in an idiom, it may be more like "Ku Ding Xie Niu".

The ultimate state of a chef should not be to think about how to cook the ingredients, but to clearly know how the ingredients should be cooked at the first glance.

Even before each dish is made, it is all made in my mind.

The so-called cooking is just a pre-built step.

When you think about it, it seems to be worth looking forward to.

Su Zifang thought very well, and the crab roe soup dumplings in the pot were also very good.

However, just as Su Zifang was immersed in the delicious aroma, a familiar and eager shout suddenly came from inside the lobby.

"Boss Su, it's not good!"
