Chapter 479: The Difference Between Black and White Truffles
There is one thing to say.
The taste of the white truffle is not very good, but the more this is the case, the more people can't help but chew a few more times, just to squeeze out all the fragrance.
After Ye Luo finished tasting it, when he looked at the plate again, it was empty, and the little bit left was put into his mouth by Alice, the little guy, and he was eating happily.
"Boss, it seems that truffles can stimulate the egg flavor of eggs more, anyway, I think today's egg fragrance is also very special. Li Qingqing said after carefully recalling it.
Ye Luo said thoughtfully: "Don't make up your mind first, let's try something else, I'll fry some steak for you." ”
When the stove starts a fire, this time the fried steak is a common practice, and after frying and serving, the white truffle is sprinkled on top.
This time, you don't have to rush to eat, one piece per person.
And this is eaten by his own family, Liu Heming's ingredients are still very kind, and there are a lot of white truffles on the top, as if he doesn't want money.
Ye Luo cut a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth with crushed white truffle, just like Li Qingqing said, the taste is really different.
In fact, many ingredients, whose flavor is unique to it, tend to overshadow the taste of the rest of the ingredients.
But the white truffle is different, and Ye Luo personally feels that it is a bit inappropriate to call it an ingredient, and it would be more accurate to call it a seasoning.
Its own taste is very distinctive, but it does not steal the flavor like other spices, on the contrary, it can stimulate the deliciousness of the rest of the ingredients.
For example, the egg flavor just now is much stronger than usual, and the steak is more delicious now, and the taste is different from when you usually eat it.
And these are the credit of white truffles, as a top delicacy, but they can better set off other ingredients.
Although Ye Luo has not yet tasted foie gras and caviar, which are also top delicacies, he thinks that truffles can really be called the first delicacy.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
No one spoke, but they were quietly savoring the freshness of the steak paired with truffles.
After eating the steak, Ye Luo did not sit idle, but went to the side to raise the stove fire again and start making ramen.
He wanted to see if the white truffle would taste different when paired with ramen.
After making the noodles, a small bowl was distributed to each person again, and everyone ate the noodles and crushed truffles together, without accident, the flavor of the noodles was even stronger.
When the leaves fall three times and divide five by two, they will eat the noodles cleanly, and they are very happy.
Now he really has no doubts, there are a total of three ingredients, truffles can be perfectly matched, and then stimulate the original taste of the ingredients.
He didn't know what grade these truffles had, but it was certain that they would bring him a lot of money.
The only thing that makes him feel a little sorry is that these truffles are not produced from the system, so he can't get reputation!
However, it doesn't matter if you don't have prestige, it's all earned for nothing anyway, so what's not to be satisfied with.
A group of people are well fed, but they haven't drunk enough.
Ye Luo made another truffle consommé to make everyone slip away.
After taking a sip, Ilobella frowned and asked, "No, boss, why do I think truffle soup is not as delicious as our morel soup?"
"Alas, it seems that our morels still sold at a loss, and in terms of making clear soup, it is a well-deserved number one, and truffles can't compare. ”
Ye Luo sighed a little helplessly and said, "Maybe when making thick soup, truffles can play a role."
Bigger. ”
This may be a little bit of the white truffle itself, if you eat the truffle dry, the taste is really not very delicious.
The method of clear soup is similar to eating it dry, and the taste is really much worse than that of morels.
It's just that this is just a small flaw, and it can't shake the status of white truffles in the food world.
At this moment, Ye Luo felt that his morel mushrooms last time were still at a loss, and the price was cheaper.
As for the truffles this time, he has to evaluate them carefully before setting the auction price.
The auction of morels belongs to their own no knowledge, and now it can be proved that in terms of making clear soup, giant morels are well-deserved queens of mushrooms, and truffles are not easy to make.
And this time, he naturally won't let himself suffer any more for truffles.
……
Ye Luo's evaluation of the black and white truffle this time is very detailed.
In these days alone, he has changed the appearance for everyone to eat all kinds of truffle meals.
It can be said that eating truffles until you vomit may be the only group of people in this world.
Even if it is a good thing, eat it every day, every meal, and let you eat it for a week, you are similar to them.
The others didn't know what was falling, but he knew it anyway, and now when Alice saw truffles in the meal, she would rather nibble on two carrots than eat!
After such a long period of careful research, Ye Luo was finally able to determine some of the differences between his two personalized truffles.
It's not that white truffles are superior to black truffles.
After Ye Luo carefully tasted his own black and white truffles, he felt that white truffles were suitable for raw food, and black truffles were suitable for cooked food after heating.
For example, when you make steak, you sprinkle white truffle crumble directly on top of it, which is delicious.
But if you add a sauce to the steak and sprinkle the black truffle crumble into it while the sauce is cooking, it tastes amazing.
Then there is the white truffle, whether it is made into thick soup or clear soup, the taste is worse.
I can't say it's bad, but compared to morels and black truffles, it's a cut or two.
Morel mushrooms make clear soup, black truffles make thick soup, the finished soup is much better than white truffles, and the taste is more layered.
In the end, Ye Luo came to the conclusion that don't look at the truffles that grow a little willful, don't drill into the ground, you have to grow to the ground.
But in terms of taste, it is definitely not worse than those excellent truffles on the market.
Because the truffles of the house have a better characteristic, they are easy to store.
Truffle (scientific name: Truffle is a general term for a mushroom that is classified into the genus Tuber (scientific name: Tuber.
There are about 10 different varieties, usually annual fungi, mostly grown in the roots of broad-leaved trees, generally under pine, oak and oak trees.
Scattered at the bottom of the tree with a radius of 120~150 cm, the block-like body is hidden in the ground 3~40 cm, distributed in Italy, France, Spain, China, New Zealand and other countries.
Truffles have a special edible smell and are rich in protein, amino acids and other nutrients. Truffles are extremely demanding on the growing environment, and cannot be cultivated artificially, and the yield is scarce, resulting in its rarity and high price. Therefore, Europeans rank truffle as one of the world's three most precious dishes, along with caviar and foie gras.
Among the many species, the black truffle (Tubermelanosporum Vitt. from France) and the white truffle (Tubermagnatum Pico) from Italy are the most highly rated.
White truffles are eaten raw, grated and sprinkled on pasta or omelettes, sliced and grilled in meat, grilled with foie gras, and even added to some cheeses.
The taste of black truffles is not as strong as white truffles, and you can make truffle salt or truffle honey.
Truffle has high medicinal value, and is known as the king of immunity together with Qiongzhen Ganoderma lucidum in the forest, and is the best food to enhance human immunity.
The truffle body is like a lump, the small one is like a walnut, and the large one is like a fist.
When young, the interior is white and uniform, and when mature, it becomes dark black with a lighter marble-like vein.
Ascomycetes are spherical, oval, brown or brown, some as small as beans and some as large as Fuji apples, with polygonal verrucous surfaces that reflect a red sheen and are depressed at the top, and their flesh (spore-producing tissues are white at first, then brown or gray, and turn black when ripe.
The slices are brown and marbled and have a forest-like smell of moisture and aromas of dried fruits, which lure small animals to forage and take the spores to reproduce.
Truffles can be as small as a peanut or as large as a handball.
The truffle growth cycle is only one year. Its size and age are completely irrelevant.
It grows only with the changes of the seasons, death and birth.
Generally speaking, black truffles ripen in about December and continue to reach maturity in March of the following year.
However, truffles are not easy to keep, and once overripe, they will rot and disintegrate.
The reason why truffles are valuable is not only because of the small production, but also because they are not easy to preserve.
Serious truffles are best eaten within three days after they are dug out of the ground. If you can't eat beyond that, you'll have to study how to preserve it.
For a family, even if it is a borrowed refrigerator, it is ten days and half a month.
In the industry, most of them are frozen after vacuuming, so that the storage days can be longer.
But he didn't know it before, and he put the remaining half of the unused half of the unused by Ilobela that day in the kitchen, and then he dug up a black truffle and came back to study, and he put both truffles in the same basket.
I used it every day, and today I have used up all the two black and white truffles, and almost ten days have passed, but the quality of the truffles has not changed at all.
When the last bit of truffle was used up, Ye Luo found that the truffle was still as fresh as it had been at the beginning, without any decay or shrinkage at all.
If it hadn't been for Scarlett's reminder, he wouldn't have noticed this.
There's no way, whether it's him or Li Qingqing, although they can be regarded as chefs, they are good at cooking Chinese food, and they can even be regarded as masters, but they really haven't studied Western food, another food culture.
Of course, it can't be said that they don't understand.
At least fry a steak, poached egg or something like that.
Ye Luo is an experiment to see how long the truffles can be stored and whether the taste will change.
He went to the greenhouse and found two more, then cut them into slices and kept them in groups of two under different conditions.
The most basic thing is to put it in a cupboard, and then it is refrigerated and frozen, and added plastic wrap or tin foil.
It's just that the two truffles will eventually need to be tasted by himself ten days later.
After all, even if these people in the family know that truffles are of high value and taste good, they really can't eat them now.
No, I guess it's disgusting that I can't eat it......
