Chapter 583: The Great Dao is Simple
Ye Fei was hungry.
He wanted to cook something to eat himself.
It was the first time he had cooked and eaten with ordinary ingredients, and he didn't know what it would taste like.
He took carrots, eggs and corn kernels out of the refrigerator.
"Mr. Ye, what are you doing.......... the fat chef asked.
Ye Fei smiled: "Since there is rice, let's make something simple, egg fried rice." ”
Egg fried rice?
Fat chef Zhang and a group of cooks almost fainted.
They all know Ye Fei's identity, it is a friend of the boss, and what is even more terrifying is that this person is a person with very superb cooking skills, they never dreamed that such a person would make an egg fried rice, this Nima is too simple, this kind of simple food, you don't need to do it yourself, we can also make it for you.
"Mr. Ye, this kind of trivial matter will not bother you, you can rest next to you for a while, and we will do it for you in a while. The fat chef said attentively.
The other chefs all smiled and nodded.
Who knew that Ye Fei shook his head and said, "Since you said it was a trivial matter, why are you embarrassed to trouble you, I can just come by myself." ”
Ignoring these people anymore, Ye Fei took a porcelain bowl from the side, directly beat two eggs in the bowl, and then took a pair of chopsticks and began to beat the eggs.
Beating eggs looks like adding orders, but if you want to beat the eggs, it is also a bit technical.
The egg must be beaten in one direction so that the beaten egg is both uniform and does not foam.
Ye Fei added an appropriate amount of refined salt to the eggs, held a tool in his hand, beat the eggs evenly, and put the bowl containing the eggs in a fat bowl for later use.
Then he cut the carrots into diced turnips, washed the corn kernels, and put them in a bowl.
After these were done, Ye Fei took a proper large bowl and filled most of the bowl of cold rice.
These rice have been cold for a long time, and one thing about this kind of rice is better, that is, the moisture in the rice has almost volatilized, and the rice grains are loose, one by one like a crystal and full white fat man.
Ye Fei brought the beaten eggs, then poured them all into the bowl, and then used chopsticks to stir the rice and eggs evenly.
After doing this, Ye Fei took a wok and put it on a stove.
Immediately after that, the stove turned on, and only after the water in the pot was boiled dry did he pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into it.
To make egg fried rice, the amount of oil is very particular, the oil is less, the fried rice is easy to stick to the pan, and if the oil is put too much, the fried rice is greasy, not only the taste is worse, but also the taste is very greasy.
The amount of oil added to the leaf fly is very moderate.
Once the oil is added to the pan, the heat will start to boil.
When the oil in the pot crackled and began to bubble, Ye Fei took the rice, and then stirred it a few more times with chopsticks, and only then did he stop when the mixture of rice and egg liquid in the bowl became more uniform.
Seeing that the oil temperature was about the same, Ye Fei did not pause and poured all the rice in the bowl directly into it.
Hot oil, cold rice, when the two collided, there was a snort, and then smoke rose.
The fat chef and his group of subordinates were all watching carefully, even the beautiful woman at the front desk.
When everyone saw that Ye Fei's method of frying rice was different from theirs, they felt very strange one by one.
"Ye Shen, based on my years of experience in making egg fried rice, I think it is best to scramble the eggs first and then mix them with rice. The fat chef finally couldn't help it and said.
Ye Fei said with a smile while flipping the mixture of rice and eggs in the pot with a rice spoon: "The method of egg fried rice is very ordinary, and it is precisely because it is ordinary, so there are many ways to make it, but I can tell you very responsibly, if you want to make a real and superb egg fried rice, you have to use my way." ”
As the spoon in Ye Fei's hand kept flipping, the mixture of eggs and rice in the pot began to change shape little by little.
The first thing that comes out of this mixture is the golden color of the eggs, but the eggs are not a piece, but a grain, specifically the egg liquid of this grain wraps each grain of rice, and finally the color after being heated.
The eggs turn golden, but each grain of rice is still crystal clear.
Ye Fei looked at the egg fried rice in the pot, he knew that although the ingredients used in this hotel were ordinary ingredients, but among the ordinary ingredients, this was definitely the best product.
Sure enough, as Ye Fei flipped, the egg fried rice in the pot began to become more granular.
"Ye Shen, I've always heard others say that the ideal rice for egg fried rice is overnight rice, but I never know why, can you tell me?"
The fat chef knows who is standing in front of him, and it can be said that this person is the representative of the Chinese chef, and he is a legendary existence among the Chinese chefs.
Now, this person has come to him, and if he can't learn anything, then he has a problem with his IQ.
He was asking, asking things that he was curious about and didn't know.
Ye Fei saw the fat chef ask, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, if you want to make a good egg fried rice, there are only two main ingredients, that is, eggs and rice, eggs are fragrant, rice is pure and fragrant, when eggs and rice are paired together, it will form a more obsessive aroma, but the question is, how to make eggs and rice match perfectly?"
As he spoke, Ye Fei scooped up a spoonful of rice from the pot with the spoon in his hand.
When everyone saw this spoonful of rice, they were all amazed.
I saw that the rice in this spoon was crystal clear, but on the outside of this crystal clear, it was all wrapped in a layer of pale golden egg yolk.
", egg wash wrapped in rice?"
One of the chefs exclaimed.
The other chefs also collapsed, and the egg yolk wrapped in rice, although it is a very common name, but it is not easy to do it.
Because after all, there is less egg liquid and more rice, and it is not easy to let this small amount of egg liquid wrap all these rice, not to mention that Ye Fei still uses ordinary ingredients.
In the past, when Ye Fei had just made money, he had an idea, he wanted to open a restaurant, and then guard the restaurant to eat and wait for death for the rest of his life.
It was only after communicating with the system that he realized that if he wanted to make the best taste with ordinary ingredients, he not only needed the experience provided by the system, but also had to practice a lot with ordinary ingredients.
Now he has not practiced with ordinary ingredients at all, but he has experience.
He has already made a lot of delicacies based on the experience and excellent ingredients provided by the system, and when he is making these delicacies, although most of the time he still does it according to the experience of the system, Ye Fei is also slowly summarizing and accumulating, which is his own progress.
It's like making a pasta, at the beginning, Ye Fei just used the experience of the system to make a kind of pasta, but later, as he made more pasta, he would slowly transform the experience of the system about pasta into his own experience.
Egg fried rice, he really made it for the first time, but with his previous experience in making eggs, he also knows how to make this egg fried rice well.
Mix the eggs into the rice, mix well with the rice, bring the oil to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium.
After another moment, when the temperature of the oil was suitable, Ye Fei poured the mixture of rice and eggs into it, so that the fried rice would be full and golden.
Egg fried rice, if you are a simple egg fried rice, it will definitely not be a good idea, the key is some auxiliary ingredients added to the rice.
Some people like to add ham, some people like to add cucumber cubes, and some people like to add some greens.
But today, these things are useless to Ye Fei at all, he just adds corn and turnip cubes to the egg fried rice.
Cooking the pot over medium heat, the spoon in Ye Fei's hand kept stirring in the pot for a moment, so as to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot.
In fact, the reason why overnight rice is used to make egg fried rice is mainly related to the moisture in the rice.
Almost everyone knows that when a pot of rice is just steamed, the moisture content in the rice is the largest, and some better rice, the steamed rice is even very sticky.
Such rice is obviously not suitable for egg fried rice, not only will they stick to themselves, but they will also stick to the inside of the pan, and it is difficult to stir-fry.
Overnight rice, on the other hand, becomes more compact after a period of water evaporation, because the water evaporates and locks the rice together.
It's just that the force of attraction between the locked rice is very small, as long as you gently knock it or stir it evenly with chopsticks, these rice grains will loosen up and become one grain after another.
The reason why Ye Fei was excited when he saw the leftover rice in that pot at the beginning was because the first thing that came to his mind was egg fried rice.
This rice is definitely the best rice for egg fried rice.
The mixture of rice and egg mixture had already been fried in the pot, and after turning it a few more times, Ye Fei poured the diced carrots and corn kernels into it.
At this point, many people will like to put some soy sauce, so that the scrambled egg fried rice has a ruddy color, but Ye Fei did not use soy sauce, what he wanted to eat was pure golden egg scrambled snow-white rice.
When the diced carrots and corn kernels were poured in, there was no sound at all.
He used the spoon in his hand to turn the egg fried rice in the pot evenly, as the temperature rose, the diced carrots began to become soft, and the corn kernels were slowly fried.
At this time, the fat chef came to Ye Fei's side and asked cautiously, "Ye Shen, do you want to add a little diced mushrooms and ham?" ”
Ye Fei shook his head and said: "No, the reason why egg fried rice is liked by many people is not because the more auxiliary ingredients it adds, the better, but because of its simplicity and elegance, if you add too many ingredients to it, the egg fried rice that comes out in the end is not egg fried rice, but a plate of stir-fried vegetables." ”
The fat chef nodded oh, in fact, he didn't figure out why this was true, he just felt that what Ye Fei said made sense.
Ye Fei made this egg fried rice until the end, and used these ingredients, rice, eggs, diced carrots and corn kernels.
Finally, when the rice was ready, Ye Fei added an appropriate amount of refined salt and chicken essence to it, turned it twice, and waited until the refined salt and chicken essence were completely integrated into the rice, and then directly out of the pot.
Taking a plate from the side, Ye Fei picked up the pot with one hand and a spoon with the other, and then gently and forcefully shook the hand holding the pot, and directly took the rice grains slowly and slowly took a spoonful, gently placed it on the plate, and then picked it again, and then continued to serve the rice.
When all the rice in the pot is on the plate, and then look at the egg fried rice on the plate, it is like a beautiful scenery, and the white and tender rice grains are wrapped in a layer of golden egg film, just like an exotic woman.
And the red and bright diced radish is like a delicate flower blooming in the snow-white field, the corn kernels have been ripe, a grain of gold, dotted in the snow-white and red bright colors, just like a grain of gold, eye-catching, attractive color.
"Goodong~~"
Seeing this plate of egg fried rice, the fat chef standing on the side couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Now this guy's heart is full of shock, and his heart is strange, it's just an egg fried rice, and the ingredients he makes are richer than those used by Ye Fei, what carrots, corn kernels, ham grains, all of them are used, it can be said that it has been made into an authentic assorted rice, many customers say that it is delicious, it is no exaggeration to say that the egg fried rice made by himself is almost the signature dish that customers in the hotel must order.
But after seeing the extremely simple egg fried rice made by Ye Fei, Wei Mao felt that many of the ingredients he used before were unnecessary?
Diced shiitake mushrooms?
If you add diced shiitake mushrooms to this egg fried rice, although it can add another flavor, the taste of shiitake mushrooms is too fresh, and it will definitely destroy the aroma of the eggs.
Ham?
The preservatives in the ham are too strong and the protein content is too high, which will not only destroy the original taste of the egg fried rice, but will definitely make the nutritional value of the egg fried rice greatly reduced.
It doesn't work!
None of these things can be used!
The fat chef seemed to be suddenly open, looking at the egg fried rice made by Ye Fei, his eyes were shining.
Ye Fei finished the egg fried rice, put the wok on the stove, and said very undisciplinedly: "Can you please help wash the pot?"
The fat chef hurriedly nodded: "Ye Shen, you don't have to worry about these little things." ”
Ye Fei sighed, he was really hungry, and he didn't care about the others, picked up the egg fried rice in front of him, picked up a small spoon, and ate it directly.
As soon as he entered the mouth, Ye Fei nodded with satisfaction, the ingredients used in this egg fried rice can be said to be all ordinary ingredients, rice, it is made with the rice of the hotel, and the eggs are not very expensive eggs, carrots........ Well, although this carrot is also a very good thing, it is also an ordinary thing, as for corn and cooking oil, they are also very ordinary.
But Ye Fei knew that no matter how ordinary he was, with the character of eating all over the world, he would choose the best goods in the ordinary.
When chewed in the mouth, the rice grains have a slight elasticity, and they are separated from each other, just like a gummy candy, but the difference is that the aroma of the rice grains is different from the sweetness of the gummy candy.
With the elasticity and aroma of rice grains appear, followed by the aroma of eggs.
To be honest, this fragrance can't be compared to red-tailed chicken eggs at all, but Ye Fei knows that this is definitely an authentic native egg, because the egg fragrance is still very strong.
The fragrance of eggs had just appeared, and Ye Fei had bitten a corn kernel at this time.
The corn kernels are sweet, and as the corn kernels are broken, a faint sweetness but a different aroma comes out, and it is also a very good feeling to explode in the mouth with the flavor of rice and the flavor of eggs.
In the end, Ye Fei chewed a diced carrot.
As soon as the diced carrot was chewed, Ye Fei felt a faint sweet taste, which was not strong, but it was just right to blend into the rice, which made people feel very kind.
"Not bad. ”
While Ye Fei was eating, he had already made an evaluation of this egg fried rice in his heart.
A serving of egg fried rice, Ye Fei didn't take long to eat it.
It's just that after he finished eating, he looked around and saw that not only the fat chef, but even the little sister at the front desk was swallowing saliva.
"Uh~~ Do you want to eat?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
The heart said that you don't talk nonsense? This egg fried rice doesn't say how it tastes, at least the color looks tempting, and it's the puppy who doesn't want to eat it.
"But not anymore. Ye Fei put the empty plate on the table and said apologetically.
The fat chef hurriedly said, "It's okay, we can do it." ”
"Will you do it?"
"Will do, eggs and rice mixed together, then scrambled, with diced carrots and corn kernels. The fat chef said with gratitude.
Ye Fei nodded and said, "Just do it, okay, I'm full, you're busy." ”
After saying this, he wiped his mouth and left.
After Ye Fei left, the entire kitchen exploded.
"Wori, Ye Shen, Ye Shen, who is worthy of Ye Shen, is just an egg fried rice, and he is so superb. ”
"You know a fart, the road is simple, Ye Shen used the simplest egg fried rice to tell us what is the essence of food. ”
"Emma, that egg fried rice is really beautiful, head chef, don't be angry, I think the egg fried rice made by Ye Shen is much better than yours. ”
The fat chef saw that his subordinates compared the egg fried rice he made with Ye Fei's, not only was he angry, but he also said proudly: "Of course, how can the egg fried rice I make compare with Ye Shen's?"
"Chef, are we still tidying up?"
"Don't clean it up, make egg fried rice. ”
"Uh~~~ Head chef, there's no overnight rice. ”
“………….”
