562 Jia Baoyu has never eaten eggplant!
With a god chef to watch the fire, I am afraid that only Zhou Dong can be so extravagant when looking at Huaxia.
But the effect is also very good.
Shi Buyu was completely lightweight, looking at the fire while peeking at Zhou Dong's next means from time to time.
The red clay stove is not a gas stove, even an intern in the back kitchen can quickly master the skill of watching the fire, this kind of wood-burning stove should be optimistic about the fire, relying on experience and feeling.
Shi Buyu didn't even look at it, throwing a few new firewood for a while, shaking a fan a few times for a while, but his eyes were staring at Zhou Dong.
At this time, Takemiya Zhengtian had already taken out the eggplant strips, cut the lotus root pieces with square specifications and the same size, and was also looking at Zhou Dong.
In their minds, even if Master Zhou wants to correct the name of the eggplant and reduce the role of chicken melon seeds in this dish, he will also use some chicken seeds, after all, even if the second master of the book eats eggplant, they have to mix it with chicken and melon seeds to eat.
After all, eggplant has a soft texture, and even with the neutralizing flavor of lotus root, the crispiness is still insufficient, and if the chicken seeds are missing, the dish is not perfect.
The method of chicken melon seeds is very simple, the ingredients are just chicken breast, various dried fruits, and the auxiliary materials are Sichuan pepper and red pepper.
The oil is hot for about eight minutes, stir-fry the peppercorns to bring out the aroma, and then slowly stir-fry the chicken breast with chili peppers, so that the water vapor in the meat completely evaporates, take it out and let it cool, and then stir-fry it with new oil and various dried fruits.
According to personal taste, you can add salt, you can also put sugar, fry until the meat and fruit aroma melt into a furnace, the chicken melon seeds are counted, put in the jar and sealed, and eat as you go.
But Zhou Dong's approach is completely different from that of the 'public'.
The moment the chicken breast was fried in oil, Hu Shenchu first 'pouted' and looked at him with a confused gaze.
Then, Shi Buyu and Takemiya Masata also discovered the problem.
Could it be that Master Zhou made a mistake?
They are all experts among experts, so they can naturally see Zhou Dong's problem at a glance.
Less oil!
With the amount of oil that Zhou Dong puts now, the chicken melon seeds can't be fried at all, and if you reluctantly fry them, it is likely to cause the chicken to be stiff and even burnt.
Even if Master Zhou's stir-frying skills are first-class, he will not directly fry the chicken breast like a novice, but can the half-cooked chicken breast still be used?
This is a mistake that an ordinary second-level chef would not make, but Master Zhou actually made it?
There must be a cat in it!
The oil was nine minutes hot, and Zhou Dong hadn't started to put in the peppercorns, and when Hu Shenchu began to frown, he saw that his wrist flicked, and the hot oil at the bottom of the pot had been shaken into the air, like a round blister, and no half drop fell out.
"Master Zhou's pot-turning skills are already perfect. β
Shi Buyu and Takemiya Masata's eyes were engrossed, it wasn't that they didn't have this kind of pot-turning technique, but they never thought that there would be this kind of usage.
When the hot oil ball had not yet fallen, Zhou Dong's hand shook, and the peppercorns entered the oil ball, and then fell back to the bottom of the pot.
Then wrap the oil ball in peppercorns again and shake it up, and the pepper fragrance is overflowing.
The chili peppers and chicken breasts, as if they had eyes, flew out of his hands and into the hot oil ball.
As Zhou Dong's hand kept shaking, the oil ball flew up and down, often just touching the bottom of the pot, and then it flew up, and the moment the temperature became low, it fell back into the pot.
The oil temperature is always in just the right state, and there will be no problem that the oil temperature is too high and a lot of oil smoke will rise, and the amount of oil consumed will naturally be reduced.
It's really a blind operation.
Before, even Hu Shenchu thought that Zhou Dong had put less oil, but now he knew that the oil was just right, and he was really worried about him in vain.
"Zilazila......"
The chicken is fragrant, the chili pepper is fragrant, and it is diffused in the air, and the three great chefs don't even need to taste it, they know that Zhou Dong's heat control is just right, seeing that the oil in the pot is exhausted and the meat is cooked, Zhou Dong poured the chicken breast into the plate, obviously showing an amber color after being fully fried, but there was no half drop of oil on it.
"Eat all the oil!"
Hu Shenchu paused slightly, and looked at Zhou Dong's eyes unconsciously brightened a little.
Shi Buyu and Wu Gong Zhengtian glanced at each other, and their hearts were extremely admirable, the two of them are known as the god chefs, and they are also diligent masters, what kind of cooking techniques can't be mastered?
The food is perfect, there is no fault with any faults, and the oil aroma is not lacking, but there is not a drop of oil to be seen, which is called 'eating all the oil'.
Even for a chef like them, it's a goal to pursue.
"Not bad......"
Hu Shenchu looked at Zhou Dong, his eyes were full of praise.
"The eggplant in "Dream of Red Mansions" is still exaggerated, and according to Feng Lazi's approach, the taste is not much better.
To put it bluntly, it is still supported by chicken and melon seeds, and the eggplant itself has become a foil. Therefore, when cooking chicken melon seeds, it is necessary not only to see the oil, but also to have a thick flavor, so as to make up for the lack of flavor of eggplant.
Xiaodong, the main ingredient in the chicken melon seeds is just right now, the taste is medium, not thin or thick, and the food is all oiled, obviously not ready to rely on chicken melon seeds to win our tongues?
I'm looking forward to it. β
Ginger is still old and spicy, in a word.
Zhou Dong nodded: "I hope I won't disappoint Grandpa Hu." β
After the chicken breast is cooked, the remaining dried fruits, such as cashew nuts, almonds, blueberries, etc., are stir-fried in new oil.
This time, Zhou Dong did not perform the magical pot turning technique just now, and completely relied on frying skills, after all, these dried fruits are not as easy to enter the oil and flavor as chicken breast, and they also require even and continuous firepower.
However, it was just a stir-frying skill, which still made the three great chefs sigh again and again, only to see Zhou Dong's hand speed as fast as a phantom, the frying spoon turned into two, two into four, and four into eight, every time he stir-fried, it seemed to be spooned from all directions at the same time, and all kinds of dried fruits were completely evenly heated.
The requirements for cashew nuts and almonds, blueberries and white melon seeds to be heated are completely different, but in Zhou Dong's hands, this is not a problem.
In the blink of an eye, all kinds of dried fruits were on the fire, and they were poured directly on the board that had been washed and dried, and the faint blue knife light rose, first accurately dividing these dried fruits one by one, and then flipping the knife body, holding it high and patting it lightly, using the slap force and pressing hard, a few photos down, all kinds of dried fruits have been crushed into pieces by Zhou Dong, and stirred evenly.
Honey was poured into the pot, and the cooked chicken and melon seeds were rolled in the honey, then put on the cutting board, and after evenly dipping the dried fruit powder, Zhou Dong smiled: "Old stone, the eggplant can be out of the pot." β
The hot eggplant strips were peeled out of the lotus root, and it was hot, Zhou Dong picked up the eggplant strips with a fork knife in one hand, and held a carving knife in the other, broke the mouth, pulled the pulp, and opened a long fruit sac in the eggplant, and then stuffed the chicken breast meat dipped in dried fruit powder into the eggplant strips one by one with a very fast technique.
At this time, the eggplant strips have just come out of the chicken soup, and there is a unique aroma of chicken root soup, the temperature is above 80 degrees, and after the chicken melon seeds are stuffed with various dried fruit powders, they are forced by the residual temperature, and the flavors of various ingredients are all inhaled by the eggplant, and they begin to blend perfectly.
In the end, there are eight eggplant heads side by side, which are placed on a white porcelain plate like a peacock opening the screen, and between the roots of the eggplant, some lotus root dices cut by Takemiya Masata's own hands are placed in a staggered manner.
Suddenly, a strange aroma rose, divided into countless levels, and entered the noses of the three great divine chefs layer by layer.
"Sizzleββ!"
Even Chef Hu Shen not only gasped, but also became a little excited.
Although he hasn't tasted it yet, he can already judge from his years of experience in cooking that the plate of eggplant in front of him is the most authentic and delicious eggplant.
The kind that Jia Baoyu and Feng Lazi have never eaten!
"Haha, good boy, let Grandpa Hu taste it first and give you a score!"
Chef Hu laughed and pulled the plate in front of him......
