Chapter 33 Maowen Dahongpao peppercorns
"Dangdang, dang, dang..."
Chen Mo's action of cutting potatoes is quite skillful, and the sound of the blade cutting through the potatoes and the board is like a machine, densely and evenly spaced.
Although the Matsukaze knife cut is only 1 grade, the potatoes are easily cut into pieces with the Kinmen kitchen knife.
The sliced potatoes were turned over and cut again, and in a short time, the shreds were cut.
Zhao Ling, who was watching from the sidelines, stepped forward and took out a shredded potato, which was as thin as a hair, and she didn't dare to exert herself, lest she crush the shredded potatoes, but who would have thought that although the shredded potatoes were thin and thin, they were full of tendon and toughness.
Zhao Ling held the tail of a shredded potato and shook it a few times, and it didn't look like it was about to break at all.
"The knife skills of this shredded potato are quite good, and there is no sign of the level of knife skills that a young chef in his early 20s can have. ”
Zhao Ling raised the shredded potatoes in her hand, the camera pulled in, the texture of the shredded potatoes was quite good, and after shaking a few times, the shredded potatoes swayed left and right in the direction of the swing, and it seemed to be quite elastic.
After cutting the shredded potatoes, Chen Mo did not simply put them aside, but prepared a basin of water and put the shredded potatoes into the water.
"Before cutting the green peppers, putting the shredded potatoes in water can prevent the shredded potatoes from oxidizing and discoloring. ”
Zhao Ling is worthy of being the host of "The Food is Coming", and quickly explained the reason why Chen Mo put shredded potatoes into the water.
Then he took out the green pepper, and Chen Mo began to perform like a machine again.
After the green pepper was cut, Chen Mo put the green pepper into the water.
"Okay, our Master Chen has already shown his knife skills just now, and at the same time, the shredded potatoes and green peppers have been cut and set aside, and now it's time to start stir-frying. ”
As soon as this sentence was finished, Zhao Ling's eyes subconsciously glanced at the shredded potatoes and green peppers in the water, and suddenly found that the yellow and cyan shreds were exactly the same in size.
Terrible!
Zhao Ling secretly praised in her heart.
Chen Mo turned on the fire like a chef, quickly heated the oil in the pan, and then took out the drained shredded potatoes and green peppers.
Turn the heat to high, add both ingredients at the same time, and stir-fry quickly.
The flames rushed up along the edge of the pot, and Chen Mo's face turned red in the light of the fire.
Although he has no formal chef training, Chen Mo, who has often been mixed in the kitchen since he was a child, has a posture that is not inferior to that of a chef, and he looks like a chef and is very bluffing.
......
At this time, the entrance square of the street office in the spring breeze.
"Oh, it smells so good. ”
"You can smell it, it's fake. ”
"It's really fragrant, don't you think it's a pleasure to watch Xiao Chen stir-fry?"
"Well, yes, it must taste good just by looking at it. ”
"Oops, Boss Chen has finally launched the stir-fry, I really want to give it a try. ”
"By the way, why hasn't the egg fried rice been on the menu last time?"
......
Stir-fry quickly until the shredded potatoes are dry, and quickly remove the shredded potatoes with green peppers in the pot.
Green pepper shredded potatoes, success!
After the shredded potatoes came out of the pot, they exuded a trace of heat, and Zhao Ling, who was very close, didn't even need to fan it with her hands to smell the bursts of aroma.
The smell is not only fragrant, but also spicy, and there is an indescribable taste.
......
Looking at Chen Mo's confident expression and Zhao Ling's satisfaction with closing her eyes slightly, Jason Arterton couldn't wait to humiliate these "actors" fiercely.
Just a dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers, how delicious can it be?
Maybe it's not as good as freshly cleaned green peppers and potato chips, sandwiched in bread.
When the gastronomic lady took the stage and placed the steaming shredded green pepper potatoes in front of Artton's eyes, the somewhat arrogant Michelin-starred chef noticed something unusual.
It is neatly like shredded potatoes and green peppers carved out of a mold, the width is even, and the dishes served out are neat and uniform, just like watching the phalanx that has just finished military training walking, and it looks pleasing to the eye.
"It's good to have such a knife at this age. ”
Zhao Ling couldn't help but be stunned, this was the first time Jason Arterton praised others on the show.
looked at Zhang Liang on the sidelines, saw that the other party also showed a surprised expression, and stretched out his thumb to himself.
In recent episodes, this is the first time Mr. Jason has praised a chef on stage. Zhao Ling immediately said in a clear voice.
Arterton raised his hand, his eyes were still sharp, and said: "This is only for his age, and the most important thing about a dish is the taste, I better try this dish while it's hot, I hope it won't disappoint me." ”
With that, Arterton skillfully picked up his chopsticks and picked up a few shredded potatoes and green peppers, which were fluffy but not fragile.
"Hmm... The aroma is good, with the strong aroma of potatoes and the spicy smell of green peppers. ”
Wait, there seems to be a smell left, what is it?
Arterton put the steaming shredded green pepper potatoes in his mouth and chewed slowly.
The shredded potatoes are refreshing and crisp, very chewy, and the shredded green peppers are just right, making a "crunch" and "crack" sound in the mouth.
Zhao Ling held her breath and quietly observed Artton's expression.
What is it?!
Arteton's brow furrowed, as if something was wrong.
Zhao Ling's heart has already mentioned her throat.
Jason Arteton stopped chewing, and his eyes drifted to Chen Mo on the stage, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
Silently put down the chopsticks.
"What, still can't you?" Zhao Ling saw Arteton's reaction, her heart collapsed, and she was already about to give up.
After being silent for a few seconds, Arterton took the initiative to speak and asked Chen Mo: "Young man, let me ask you, what is it in this dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers that stimulates my sense of taste and makes the taste of ordinary shredded potatoes and green peppers several times higher?"
"He didn't deny the dish, he didn't deny the dish!"
Zhao Ling was excited, this was the first time Arterton had eaten the dishes made by the chef, and he did not give a negative or even ugly answer.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, and took out a few small particles from the leaky net placed next to him.
"The sensation you eat is actually numbness, and this is what brings it. ”
Jason Arterton stood up and stared at the small black round particles in Chen Mo's hand.
"It's... It's peppercorns!"
Zhao Ling, who was closest to Chen Mo, was the first to recognize it.
"That's right, when I was heating the oil, I put a few peppercorns in it first, and fried it to bring out the fragrance, just to mix the hemp of the peppercorns in the hot oil of fried green pepper shredded potatoes. In this way, even the most ordinary shredded potatoes with green peppers will stimulate the taste buds several times better!"
Of course, Chen Mo didn't tell them that the seasoning of this pepper is by no means simple.
These peppercorns are not amazing, but they come from the well-known M County, also known as Maowen peppercorns, and they are the representative varieties of Maowen peppercorns: Da Hong Pao.
Maowen Dahongpao Zanthoxylum, heavy oil grains, red and bright color, rich aroma, mellow and delicious, long history, Zanthoxylum pepper is located in M county perennial dry climate, low annual precipitation, for the production of Zanthoxylum pepper provides a good natural geography and climatic conditions. This kind of pepper of Maowen Dahongpao is a famous product, and is even called "tribute pepper".
After listening to this, Arterton sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and took another chopstick.
