Chapter 47: Fuxi Barbecue
"Chen Mo, explain, why this roasted enoki mushroom has not lost moisture due to the high temperature of the barbecue. Ni Meili blinked her big beautiful eyes, her moist lips pursed slightly, and looked at Chen Mo.
Ni's beautiful eyes and expression made Shota Hoshino uncomfortable.
Chen Mo took out a piece of silver shiny plastic paper out of nowhere, which was still a little dazzling in the light.
"It's this. Chen Mo looked at Ni Meili and said with a smile.
"Tin foil!" Shota blurted out.
"That's right, it's tin foil. I just use this guarantee that the water of the enoki mushroom will not be lost. After Chen Mo finished speaking, he pointed to the vegetables on the plate and said, "Actually, the vegetables in this are all wrapped in tin foil and grilled, but according to the different types of vegetables, the sauce added is different." ”
"Different sauces? but... Where are these sauces? There are only vegetables on this plate?" asked Ni Shuai.
"I guess it's because of the tinfoil. Chen Mo wraps the vegetables in tin foil and grills them at high temperatures on the outside, so that the temperature inside cannot be dissipated, so that the vegetables inside the tin foil will continue to expand, so as to absorb the sauce that was put into the foil in advance, am I right?"
Chen Mo didn't expect in his heart that Ni Meili could say exactly what he could say, which is the most eye-catching thing about tin foil roasted vegetables.
"Absolutely. Chen Mo smiled back.
Sho Hoshino was too close to sit still.
"Take this tin foil enoki mushroom as an example, I put the washed enoki mushroom on the tin foil, add an appropriate amount of butter, black pepper juice, garlic juice, and some other sauces, and then wrap them in tin foil, seal them, and then grill them at high temperatures, as the temperature in the tin foil expands rapidly, the enoki mushrooms also begin to slowly expand, and these pre-placed sauces are gradually absorbed by the enoki mushrooms. The baked tin foil is opened, and the heat accumulated inside quickly dissipates, and according to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the enoki mushroom that absorbs the sauce shrinks rapidly, and the moisture and sauce are firmly locked, which is the secret of the enoki mushroom so full and moist. At the same time, the use of tin foil barbecue can also retain the protein and carbohydrates of enoki mushrooms to the greatest extent, so that the nutrients will not be reduced due to the loss of water. ”
"Bang bang. ”
After Chen Mo finished speaking, Ni Sheng actually applauded.
"It's wonderful, Chen Mo. I didn't expect that a barbecue dish that seemed very simple would be so brilliant and ingenious by you. Every ingredient in this plate has been carefully cooked and made by you, it is really a great Chinese dish!"
Stam and Weinbeck couldn't sit still, and quickly picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of their favorite food.
Stam is a piece of grilled fish with green onions.
"It's... It's so delicious. When you bite into it, the skin of the fish that enters your mouth first is crispy, as if you are eating a piece... Well... A wafer biscuit, followed by a soft and tender fish, it was so delicious! I couldn't help but want to take a sip of white wine after eating this bite of fish. White wine with fish, oh my God..."
Stam, who hadn't drunk yet, seemed to be intoxicated.
Winbeck was sandwiched with a piece of slate beef.
Before swallowing the beef in his mouth, Wen Beck, who was puffing out his cheeks, couldn't help but make a speech on eating: "This meat is delicious and juicy, it doesn't look like it has been barbecued at all, the hot slate can replace the iron plate for barbecue, this is a barbecue method that I have never thought of, thank you, Chen Mo, you have broadened my cooking ideas, and there are already a lot of new creative dishes in my mind at this moment." ”
Seeing that everyone was full of praise for Chen Mo's barbecue dishes, Shota Hoshino still held back himself and never moved his chopsticks.
This little-known boy... Just a chef in a fly restaurant can be recognized by everyone...
Shota was very angry, although he didn't know where this anger came from, but Shota just didn't want Chen Mo to show such a hand in front of everyone.
That's right!
Shota suddenly remembered something, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"I said Chen Mo, this dish may taste good, but you seem to be mistaken, barbecue cuisine is not Chinese cuisine. Shotai said loudly.
"How can it be, the streets of China are full of all kinds of barbecue, why isn't it Chinese cuisine?" Ni Shuai took the lead in standing up to defend Chen Mo.
"Hmph. Shota snorted and turned to David Weinbeck, "David, why don't you popularize it for everyone?"
Wembeck, who is French, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth full of sauce, and then said, "Oh, yes, Shota, you reminded me." ”
After responding to Shota, Winbeck said to everyone at the table: "Actually, barbecue is our French cuisine at the earliest. A long time ago, we French people came to the Caribbean and roasted whole sheep on the grill from whiskers to buttocks, and ate them until they were cooked. Therefore, barbecue was first invented by us French, and even the abbreviation of barbecue BBQ is also based on our French barbe-cul. Since the L letter of cul in our French does not speak, the word barbecul evolved into barbecue, and because cue is homophonic with the English letter Q, it became barbeque, and finally abbreviated as BBQ. We in France know this history. So strictly speaking, it's a French dish. ”
"This..."
After listening to Winbeck's words, Ni Shuai had no way to refute it.
If barbecue is not a Chinese dish, then Chen Mo's dish, no matter how good the taste, is still lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
I've been maintaining Chinese cuisine, and I ended up making a delicious French dish, which can't be justified anyway.
Shota looked at the silent Chen Mo, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he wanted to see how you end.
After listening to Winbeck's words, Chen Mo barely thought about it, and then said, "No, barbecue, it is indeed Chinese cuisine." ”
This time, Chen Mo did not stand up to answer, but sat down and said to everyone calmly: "I want to tell you a piece of our Chinese history. As early as ancient times, there were birds in the sky, fish in the water, and wild beasts on the ground, and people lived by hunting, but raw fish and raw meat did not taste good, and more seriously, sometimes eating these raw meat would make you sick in your stomach. At this time, Fuxi, as the 'head of the three emperors' of our Chinese civilization, took the heavenly fire and taught people to use torches to grill meat and fish. Since then, people have eaten fragrant barbecued meat, stopped getting sick, and have become stronger. In honor of Fuxi, people called him 'Ku Xi', that is, 'the first person to cook animal meat over fire'. This history is not only known to us Chinese, but also recorded in the ancient document "Classic of Mountains and Seas". So, if you want to talk about the history of barbecue, your France is far inferior to our China. ”
Chen Mo's words made Xiang Tai angry, especially when Chen Mo was talking about the history of Fuxi, many people, including Ni Meili, looked at Chen Mo with adoring eyes. Even his own sister Junnatsu Hoshino.
Without waiting for Wen Baker and Xiang Tai to speak, Chen Mo hurriedly said: "The name of this barbecue dish is called Fuxi barbecue, this is definitely a 100% Chinese dish!"
