382. The first step to transcendence

When Bai Ye came to his own kitchen after a long absence, he saw Liu Shiyu and Tian Suohui together at a glance, I have to say that the scene of such two high-quality beautiful girls getting together is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, just a few more glances seem to be able to become a little more relaxed.

It seemed that Liu Shiyu was lecturing Tian Suohui, so Bai Ye didn't step forward to disturb them, but quietly walked to the other side of the kitchen, where there was also a spare stove, which was enough for him to cook.

However, in this small kitchen, Bai Ye can still clearly hear the voice of the senior sister lecturing on the side.

"Ahem, Xiaohui, before the special training, I have to tell you what curry is. ”

Liu Shiyu said.

The word curry is actually a transliteration, which originated in Tamil, which means to boil many spices together, that is, it is used to refer to the kind of sauce made from various spices. ”

Of course, the word curry has been misused by nowadays, and almost any dish with spices, sauces, or South and Southeast Asian influences can be called curry, which is false. ”

"Curry originated from Ah Sangoku, so the explanation of teammate curry should also be based on Ah San's explanation, that is, the original meaning of curry, the kind of sauce made from various spices. ”

"It is worth mentioning that there is no recipe for curry in Asankoku, because the secret of authentic Asan curry lies in the combination of various spices and the order in which it is cooked, not in the dazzling and complex cooking techniques. And this is the biggest feature of curry cuisine, which is the extreme emphasis on personal characteristics and creativity. There are 10 million curries made by 10 million curry chefs, and even in the same region, there are a variety of curry dishes with different flavors, types, and colors, and this is the most attractive part of curry cuisine. ”

However, although there is no set recipe for authentic curry, and there are no restrictions on spices, most people use spices such as chili, cumin, turmeric, etc., which is not an unspoken rule.

"In today's era of food explosion, with the collision and fusion of cuisines from various countries, curry has become one of the mainstream dishes in the Asia-Pacific region with its unique personality. Apart from tea, curry is one of the few truly Pan-Asian dishes or beverages. ”

"Nowadays, the types of curry are no longer limited to Asan curry, there are many types of curry, according to the country, its origin is Asan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, etc., and in terms of color, there are brown, red, green, yellow, white ........"

Liu Shiyu explained a lot of basic knowledge about curry in one breath, while Xiaohui on the side had already taken out a small book and started taking notes.

Thanks to Xiaohui's blessing, Bai Ye on the side can be regarded as taking a cram class on curry cooking again, and his understanding of curry has become clearer.

For curry cuisine, the predecessor actually didn't know much, and his limited knowledge of curry was actually just some common sense told by the teacher when he was studying at New Oriental, which was far less detailed than the senior sister who traveled south and north and was quite proficient in various cuisines.

The predecessor is only good at Chinese cuisine, which is an advantage, after all, single-mindedness can be proficient, there are many Chinese cuisines, with a long history, and not everyone has the perverted talent of the senior sister, ordinary chefs may not be able to study one of the eight major cuisines of China thoroughly throughout their lives, where is there that spare time to study those foreign dishes. However, being too single-minded is also a disadvantage, after all, today's world is the prosperity of food, the cuisine of various countries collides with each other, the heroes rise together, and the era of a hundred schools of thought contends, the collision and fusion of cuisines of various countries is already the main theme, if you blindly stick to the old ways, sooner or later will be eliminated by this era.

The predecessor is because he has received too much antique education since he was a child, and he firmly believes that Chinese cuisine is the first in the world, as long as I learn Chinese cuisine well, I will be invincible in the world sooner or later, so I disdain those foreign cuisines, which also created the result of the slow progress of his later cooking, in fact, as early as the second grade of New Oriental, the predecessor's cooking skills have almost reached the current point, and the result is that when the white night crosses over, the predecessor has graduated, but the progress of cooking is very limitedThe narrower the road is, the more difficult it is to progress?

However, Bai Ye is not the same as his predecessor in this regard, although he also firmly believes in my heart that I am the first in the world of Chinese cuisine, and other countries are scum, and he has no doubt that if he can master Chinese cuisine, he can beat the whole world, but for those good skills in other countries' cooking technology, Bai Ye is not excluded, in his previous life, the country where he was has entered an open era, as a great man said, whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as he can catch a mouse, it is a good cat, for Bai Ye, no matter which country's cooking technology he is, as long as it is good and can be used, then take it directly and use itThe culture of China has never been fixed, but compatible and continuous, which can accommodate the strengths of hundreds of schools. I don't know how many times the Chinese heritage has been impacted by foreign culture, but as a result, those foreign things have finally been absorbed by Huaxia and become a part of Huaxia, which is extremely inclusive and integrated is the biggest feature of Huaxia, and the same is true of Chinese cuisine.

At the end of the day, the essence of curry is the various techniques used with spices. Both ancient countries, Huaxia and Asan are the birthplace of spices, but due to the vast land and abundant resources, Huaxia cuisine pays more attention to various complex cooking skills, and pays more attention to the integration between ingredients and ingredients, and for the use of spices, it is more just used as an embellishment, the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves is the theme, and the spices are just auxiliary. Although there are many techniques for using spices that have been handed down, there are also magical skills such as spice inequality that go straight to the origin of spices. But in general, Huaxia's research and use of spices is indeed not as proficient as Ah Sanlai, who attaches great importance to spices.

Although I am a little unhappy about this, I have to admit it.

Shame and courage, since spices are the shortcomings of the predecessor, and now they are also the shortcomings of White Night Cuisine, so let's make up for this shortcoming.

"Predecessor, this piece of spice can be regarded as my first step out of your shadow and beyond you. ”

Bai Ye muttered to himself, and then looked at the stove in front of him with sharp eyes, ready to start cooking.
