The duck is cleaned up, and the next steps are the most important.

Xue Yi soaked the washed glutinous rice in water and began to prepare the filler in the duck's belly.

Green beans, chestnuts, red dates, lotus seeds, corn, ham, bamboo shoots, chicken breast, chicken gizzards, scallops, shiitake mushrooms, shrimps, lotus roots, crab meat, truffles, etc......

There are more than 20 kinds of ingredients, and the processing method of each one is not the same.

Some ingredients are blanched, some are stir-fried, some are steamed, and some are cooked.

Xue Yi didn't have to worry about preparing these ingredients, and began to process them one by one, steaming first, then boiling, then frying, and finally flying water.

It took more than 20 minutes to get the ingredients ready.

Mix everything together before seasoning.

Salt, soup, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce...... More than a dozen kinds of seasonings are added, stir evenly with cornstarch water, flip the duck over and fill it into the duck belly, close the duck head and the opening when it is full, and then tie the middle of the duck body with a cotton rope to help form a gourd shape.

Boil a pot of sugar to color the duck, brush with a layer of honey and bake in the oven for five minutes to set the color.

Take it out and put it in the steamer.

After everything was done, Xue Yi breathed a sigh of relief, washed his hands and looked at Su Zifang: "Do you see it?"

"I can see it!" Su Zifang was full of confidence.

"Tell me?"

"Lots of material. ”

"Ordinary eight-treasure duck uses eight kinds of ingredients, but Master Yao's eight-treasure duck uses more than 20 kinds of ingredients, and some ingredients are processed only with taste but no ingredients. ”

"For example, red dates and scallops are used to boil water to increase flavor, one is sweet, the other is salty, and the crab meat and shrimp are used to hang fresh, and the taste is better and better, I think this is the key to the deliciousness of Master Yao's duck. ”

Su Zifang finished speaking, waiting to be praised.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yi hummed and shook his head slightly: "That's not right." ”

Su Zifang was dumbfounded.

Isn't that right?

I quickly went through the production methods of the eight-treasure duck that I knew: deboning, filling, stuffing, coloring, steaming, frying...... Pregnant!

Su Zifang said with confidence again: "I know, it's the wrong production process." ”

"Chef Yao's eight-treasure duck is set in the oven after filling the duck and coloring, this step can make the duck skin more crispy, and at the same time tighten the duck to force out the excess fat, and the subsequent production will be more delicious!"

Xue Yi hummed and sighed, revealing a hopeless expression.

"Still not right. ”

Su Zifang: ???

That's not right!

Carefully reviewing Xue Yi's operation just now, and then comparing it with the videos he had watched one by one, Su Zifang felt that he had finally discovered Huadian.

"Master, are there no pine needles!"

"I remember that the three sets of ducks and pigeon swallows all need pine needles, but this eight-treasure gourd duck has no pine needles, it should be filled with only eight points full when filling the filling, omitting this step, so that the taste of the ingredients in the duck's belly is fully reflected. ”

"Coupled with the oozing of duck fat from the oven, it is able to enhance the flavor to the extreme!"

Xue Yi finally nodded this time: "That's a good point!"

"Still, it's not right!"

Su Zifang: (ΩДΩ)!

What's so great about this dish, it's not right to say that it's like this.

It's a pity that the dish is not done well, it is still in the pot, even the system can't help, you can only rely on your own judgment.

However, the real reason was not said three times in a row, and there were not many remaining steps worth mentioning, Su Zifang decided that it was a big deal to start with the bones and try them one by one, and he could always be right!

"The deboning technique is problematic, the skin and flesh are scraped off, and the flavor of the duck is retained to the greatest extent. "Su Zifang is full of confidence.

"Not true. ”

The filling has been said, the baking has been spoken, and the pine needles have been spoken......

Su Zifang recalled, recalled, and a picture flashed in front of his eyes.

"Using sugar color to color can get better taste and color, and adding honey makes the duck's fat taste lighter, which is more in line with the sweet eating habits of Shanghai people. "Su Zifang has confidence in three paths.

"Still not right. ”

Xue Yi sighed, as if he wanted to give up.

Su Zifang looked at Xue Yi's appearance and knew that he should only have one last chance, so he looked at the steamer cautiously and spoke cautiously.

"It should be steamed first and then fried, so that the puff pastry that was baked before will be crispy again, unlike other people who make this dish will fry first and then steam, and the crispy texture of the duck will be gone. ”

This time, Su Zifang only had one percent confidence.

Xue Yi really didn't disappoint him, and said with a long sigh: "Forget it, you didn't understand it at all." ”

Su Zifang also wanted to cry without tears.

Xue Yi's evaluation is not "You almost understood", but "You didn't understand it at all." ”

This shows that what he answered was too far from what Xue Yi wanted him to understand.

But there are so many steps in this eight-treasure duck, and it's still not right to say it all by myself...... Then he really can't do anything.

The talent is so hopeless.

As the owner of the system, Su Zifang once again felt frustrated.

Is there anything different about this eight-treasure duck?

It's a pity that this is not a system space, and the video can't be played back, so Su Zifang can only try his best to restore Xue Yi's approach in his mind.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, I was suddenly stunned.

Obviously, there are ready-made materials at hand, as long as you do it again according to what you just saw, and when you compare it with the Eight Treasure Duck made by Xue Yi, you should be able to see what went wrong.

When Xue Yi saw this scene, he finally nodded and smiled a little, but in an instant, he thought that Su Zifang couldn't even see the secret of Yao's Eight Treasure Ducks, so he still withdrew his smile.

Fortunately, Su Zifang was concentrating on the whole duck deboning and didn't notice this scene.

Compared with Xue Yi's relaxed freehand, the duck meat is basically retained on the duck, only the bones fall off, Su Zifang's processing technique is a little rough, and a four-pound duck is processed only with the duck skin and a layer of fat that is not too thick under the skin.

"If you play abnormally, you must have been said to be too miserable, and you can't even hold your hands!"

Su Zifang simply cut the crushed duck meat into dices of the same size as the filling, intending to make the original meat as the original filling and backfill it directly.

After another half an hour, he finally finished processing and mixing the other ingredients according to Xue Yi's steps just now.

Fill the duck's belly, eighty percent full, close the mouth, and tie the cotton thread.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is actually ninety percent similar to the eight treasure ducks made by Xue Yi.

However, at this point, in fact, only half of it is completed, and there are several subsequent processing steps, according to Su Zifang's experience, the follow-up steps are the key to determining the taste of Babao duck.

Mix the sugar with the honey, color and put in the oven.

After a few minutes, Su Zifang began to get excited.

The smell wafting out of the oven is exactly the same as the smell of the eight-treasure duck that Xue Yi made just now.

A strange thought could not help but pop up.

"Could it be that Master just wants to exercise my persistence and self-confidence?"

"Actually, what I just said is right? As long as I follow the method I insisted on, I can make Yao's Eight Treasure Duck?"

Su Zifang suddenly brightened, Master is really a good person!

Instantly more confident in the duck he made.
