Chapter 182: Herring Fish Becomes Mackerel

While talking on the phone, Dojima Silver took Xia Yu to the hotel's main kitchen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's big enough, isn't it?"

Putting the phone back in his pocket, Dojima Silver stretched out his arms and said heartily, "This is the largest kitchen in our Enzuki Hakone Resort!"

Xia Yu's eyes were filled with shock.

At least two basketball courts have the size of a kitchen space, which occupies an entire floor and has all the facilities.

The dozen or so Yuanyue graduates who arrived first were already busy, and the helpers in the hotel kitchen were carrying the ingredients in a neat and orderly manner.

"Chief Dojima!"

A handsome uncle in his thirties came over, this should be the assistant chef of the Far Moon Resort, and he is also the right and left hand of Dojima Gin, Hiroshi Sena.

He suddenly sighed, stared at Xia Yu a few more times, and said respectfully, "It turns out that Lecturer Xia was also invited to participate in this period of residential study." I saw your halberd in the shopping street, I saw it on TV, and it was very exciting! The most commendable thing is that you beat the special ingredients with ordinary ingredients!"

Xia Yu smiled slightly, but he was slandering in his heart.

When I finally met someone who could recognize me, I felt like I was in tears.

Those Yuanyue graduates, all of them are busy people, such as Kojiro Shinomiya, who rushed back from Paris, France, and didn't know that the halberd war in the shopping street was normal.

So, in the final analysis, the trouble is because of the lack of fame.

The halberd war has only caused a heated discussion, no, just a week has passed, not only has the halberd clip been replaced by the TV station, but the topic of halberd eating on the Internet has also completely disappeared.

The first-line stars in the entertainment industry will gradually be forgotten if they are not hyped, not to mention Xia Yu, who has only been on TV a little once.

Soon, the kitchen utensils and ingredients that Xia Yu needed were gradually transported.

Dojima Gin-instructed a group of kitchen servants to move a few kitchen counters out of the way to make room large enough.

A person in charge of ingredients said with a panicked face: "Chief Dojima, there is no 'herring' in the hotel's food library, and it takes at least 1 hour to get it from the nearest freshwater fish warehouse in Kanagawa Prefecture!"

"Isn't there a 'herring'?"

Xia Yu groaned.

To be honest, 'herring' is not suitable for grilling.

Grilling is a cooking technique that is rarely used in Chinese cuisine for freshwater fish.

In the waters where freshwater fish live, the water quality is inevitably not good, and the fish meat has a strong earthy smell, which cannot be removed by the more primitive 'grilling' method.

In addition, there are too many ways to cook freshwater fish in Chinese cuisine, such as steaming, braising and boiling, etc., so there is no need to go far and far, but use barbecue techniques to make dishes.

"Lecturer Xia, at present, the fish storage in the hotel's food warehouse is mainly seafood and aquatic products, including mackerel, mackerel, saury, tuna and so on......"

The person in charge of the ingredients is quite innocent.

'Herring' is a native Chinese river fish, even if the neon island is professionally farmed, but the hotel usually does not have guests to order food, how can their ingredient department purchase on a large scale.

"Then let's change the mackerel!" Xia Yu said, "Twelve of them, each weighing about 400 grams!"

"Okay!"

The person in charge left in a hurry.

"Isn't it okay to change mackerel?" said Dojima Gin, "Mackerel is an ocean fish, and herring is an inland freshwater river fish......"

"Isn't that the recipe used to be modified?"

Xia Yu was calm.

Since the original recipe is unreasonable, the modification is enough.

Herring, mackerel.

The pronunciation of the two is similar, but they are completely different fish.

The herring is very large, and the mature individuals are generally 1 meter long and weigh 30 catties, so in the original Chinese works, the "Burst Flame Chef" sub-magazine uses several iron chains, and at the same time binds five or six large herring fish to swing in their hands, which looks amazing.

Five or six fish are pulled in the hand, which is one hundred and fifty catties. What kind of concept is this? The god of war, Lu Bu and Guan Yunchang, are no more than a hundred pounds in weight.

The key is that while pulling heavy objects with iron chains, you also need to smoothly perform your cooking skills [Tianxiong Fire Wheel], which is very difficult!

Xia Yu's physique, or arm strength, of course, is not perverted to the level of an ancient fierce general, and it is still difficult to pull two big herrings, let alone five or six at once.

But mackerel is different, this kind of marine fish is not big, generally weighing 200-400 grams, that is to say, mature mackerel, the heaviest is about a catty, more than a dozen tied to the iron chain, Xia Yu can still swing it up.

Choosing mackerel over saury is a matter of weight.

Saury is well suited for charcoal-grilling, and salt-grilled mackerel is also commonly found in Japanese cuisine, which also indicates that mackerel is a more popular form of cooking.

Ten minutes later, the person in charge of the ingredients went and returned.

Several hotel waiters pushed a fish cart full of ice, and more than a dozen mackerel of the same size were placed on the ice.

"Ahh

Hinata greeted Hinata on the side.

Other graduates who were busy all looked at them with concern when they heard the movement.

"That's right. ”

Xia Yu grabbed a mackerel, threw it on the board, and then pulled out a square knife at random in the knife holder, and the hissing sound sounded, and the sharp kitchen knife scraped against the tail of the fish, and the fine scales suddenly ejected out.

Scrape the scales, and the second step is to remove the internal organs, especially the fish gall bladder, and handle it carefully.

The knife flashed.

The dissected mackerel has deep knife marks on the surface of its body.

Clean, neat knife technique!

Qianri gave a thumbs up to the child and said, "Not bad, Xia Yujun." ”

At the nearby kitchen counter, Kojiro Shinomiya's pupils shrank slightly, staring at Xia Yu, who continued to handle the second mackerel with a calm posture.

“…… What a fast knife! He handles each fish for an average of 8 seconds. Moreover, looking at his palms and wrists, it is a pair of knives that hold knives, and they have a solid foundation!" Kojiro Shinomiya pushed the frame of his glasses and stopped what he was doing.

Twelve fish, all processed in less than two minutes.

Once Xia Yu enters the cooking state, he is naturally isolated from the outside world, and even if he finds that more and more graduates are coming around, his heart will not fluctuate and affect his rhythm.

Graduates are likewise spectators.

gave the audience a cooking performance, which seemed to Xia Yu to have a sense of achievement.

However, after cutting the fish, Xia Yu did not marinate it in a complicated way, just used fine salt, evenly spread it on the body and belly of the fish, and then cooled it on the side, turned his head to the kitchen counter, and prepared another sauce.

Ginger, soy sauce, rice wine.

A pinch of spice.

It was even poured into Shuchuan bean paste.

The sauce is the second secret of the recipe of "Tianxiong Grilled Herring", in addition to cooking skills!

The graduates couldn't even see Xia Yu's hands clearly, and eventually, a large pot of sauce was placed on the kitchen counter.

"What are these sauces for?

The blonde Donato Sycamore was also attracted, put down the food at hand, and walked over.

"Shhhhhh

Xia Yu ignored the graduate, and instead asked Dojima Gin, "What do I want?"

Dojima Silver pointed to the toolbox not far away.

Going over to check, Xia Yu smiled, took out an iron chain about two fingers thick, shook it in his hand, and tried the feel.

"I'm awake!" (To be continued.) )
