The bones and flesh of the fried dace are shaved from the opening of the abdomen, but the yellow croaker in the soup cannot be opened because the soup is not sprinkled, and the debris in the abdomen can only be removed from the mouth.

Liao Jie obviously knows the body structure of the yellow croaker well, the knife is extremely accurate, very confident, and as soon as the knife goes down, he directly finds the vent of the yellow croaker, cuts off the fish intestines, and takes out the internal organs.

Subsequently, he used a flat bamboo slice as a knife to probe into the mouth of the fish, and flipped his wrist, the blade did not touch the lip of the fish at all, only suspended and moved, and in a short time, the fish bone of the yellow croaker was completely taken out of the mouth.

Carrying the yellow croaker, Liao Jie came to the pool and poured clean water into the fish's mouth, the fish's belly was swollen, but it did not leak.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but admire and applaud.

"Miraculous!"

Long Kunbao applauded.

Although he can do it as a whole fish and deboning it, he will never be able to do it as easily as Liao Jie.

It is worthy of the knife skills that beat him in the competition, and after five years, there is still no regression, but more refinement.

After cleaning the yellow croaker, Liao Jie took four or five green onions, rubbed them with salt and killed them, and then stuffed them into the fish's mouth to support the fish's belly.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched him operate curiously.

Jiahui looked at him, couldn't help but pull Zhao Gangsheng, and muttered in a low voice: "I just found out that I don't like cooking because my father is too ugly, it turns out that old men are also very handsome when cooking!"

As she was talking, Liao Jie suddenly walked over to her.

"Little girl, do you have a hair dryer?" Liao Jie asked her, "Can you borrow it from me?"

"Oh, good. ”

Although Jiahui was puzzled, she still went to the bedroom and took a hair dryer and handed it to him: "Here you go." ”

Liao Jie took it, came to the desk, and blew the yellow croaker with a hair dryer from a distance of more than two meters.

The liquor he poured into the water before was swallowed by the yellow croaker, which not only had the effect of drunken fish, but also had the effect of removing the fish.

In addition to removing the smell, the green onion stuffed into the belly of the fish also plays a role in shaping it.

After the yellow croaker is deboned and the meat is removed, it needs to be marinated for 12 hours to allow it to absorb the flavor and set the shape. But if you speed up the air flow, you can speed up the process.

More than two meters away, the wind from the hair dryer was already very weak, but Liao Jie was still too big, so he took a step back and was only satisfied when he was three meters apart.

Yellow croaker needs to be marinated for a long time, on the one hand, through the evaporation of water to drive salt into the flesh of the fish, marinated into the flavor, on the other hand, it is also to tighten its skin and fix the body of the fish.

If the distance is too close, the hot air will tighten the skin too quickly, thus locking in the moisture, so that the water in the belly of the fish cannot evaporate, resulting in the skin has become hard, but the fish meat is still soft.

Liao Jie needs to constantly adjust the angle and wind speed of the hair dryer to let the yellow croaker gradually shape.

This technique requires experience, and he can't do it by himself.

This step took a long time, and Ou Zhaofeng and Long Kunbao on the side began to discuss in a whisper how to replace rare ingredients with ordinary ingredients, but there was no good way to simulate the unique smell of rare ingredients.

All ingredients have an odor, but an odor does not represent a foul smell, on the contrary, the boundary between odor and aroma is not so clear.

In fact, many peculiar smells belong to the flavor and have a unique charm.

For example, there are many people who don't like the smell of mutton, but in the mouth of the addict, if it is not good, it will lose the taste.

There are also plants in the Apiaceae family, such as coriander, celery, carrots, cumin, cumin, etc., all of which have their own unique odors.

Not to mention stinky tofu, stinky tempeh, preserved eggs and other foods that artificially create a unique smell.

These peculiar smells are tantamount to a flood beast in the eyes of those who don't like it, but in the eyes of those who like it, they are irresistible flavor temptations.

But with the right treatment, these off-flavors transform into unique scents that exude an unparalleled appeal.

Bear's paw has a special smell that is difficult to remove, and must be dried for more than a year before this smell gradually transforms into a special smell.

It is true that you can imitate the shape of a bear's paw with cow's paw and camel's hooves, but it is difficult to imitate the special taste.

"Why don't you ask Master Liao?" Long Kunbao proposed.

Ou Zhaofeng immediately nodded and asked Liao Jie: "Master Liao, do you know any way to make the taste of bear's paw with ordinary ingredients?"

Liao Jie thought about it and said: "The amino acid content in the bear's paw is different from ordinary ingredients, it is more fishy, and the aroma after treatment is stronger. ”

Long Kunbao groaned: "The practice of bear's paw is nothing more than braised red, white and yellow, but white roast needs to show its true colors, and it is easy to be seen through. ”

"That's right. ”

Ou Zhaofeng nodded and said: "Braised and yellow braised can be colored, and heavy ingredients can also be used to suppress the flavor, which is easier to hide." ”

Liao Jie suggested: "It might be better to grill it with green onions or sauce. ”

"Miso yaki?"

Ozhaofeng fell into deep thought.

"That's right, the flavor of green onion grill and miso grill is thicker and less noticeable. ”

Liao Jie shook his head and said, "But when you eat it, there will always be slight differences, and it can't be exactly the same." ”

"You can just confuse the real with the fake. ”

Long Kunbao said with a smile: "We have Anan, who is the first person in the world to eat, and we will definitely try to succeed." ”

Fei Nan smiled and asked, "Why does it sound like an insult?"

"Haha!"

Ou Zhaofeng opened his mind and proposed, "I think using pig's trotters as the main ingredient, and then using ox feet and sheep's feet to combine the flavor, should be successful." ”

Liao Jie reminded: "Bear's paw has a high gum content, so it is best to stew it with hoof tendons, fish lips, and fish maw to increase the gelatinity. ”

Long Kunbao also echoed: "And the meat of the pig's trotters is not thick enough, so it is best to use cow feet for the palm, and then use the pig's trotters and sheep's feet as toes, connect them with cow tendons, and press them into shape." ”

Ou Zhaofeng thought for a while and said: "The structure of these ingredients is different, and the time required to stew is also different, in order to achieve the same degree of softness and glutinousness as a whole, it is necessary to process them separately, and then shape them halfway, and finally fire them together, the process is probably more complicated than the real bear's paw." ”

"It's fun to be complicated!"

Long Kunbao smiled and said, "If we can really succeed, we will create a dish at the level of the Manchurian and Han people, which is much more interesting than winning the game!"

"That's right. ”

Fei Nan stepped forward with a smile: "In the future, the law will become more and more perfect, and the protection of wild animals will gradually increase, and there are too many dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets that will be lost. ”

Liao Jie agreed: "If it is really possible, then for the culinary industry, it is a good thing that will benefit the present and the future, and it is indispensable!"

"Yes!"

Ou Zhaofeng was excited, and then clasped his palms together and said proudly: "That's right! I'm short-sighted! I shouldn't limit my vision to this competition, I want to use this competition to promote the Manchu and Han seats! Transform the Manchu and Han seats! I want everyone to have the opportunity to taste the real Manchu and Han seats!"

"Then I'll wait to taste Master Ou's Manchu Han feast!"

Fei Nan made a joke, and everyone laughed.

In the laughter, in the career column of Ozhaofeng, the special chef has been quietly promoted to a super chef.
