Chapter 59: Buns
"Wait a minute! Why are it steamed buns? Isn't this very bad for our chefs in Western kitchens? Steamed buns are Chinese food, and they are naturally very good at Chinese kitchens, but for us Western chefs who have never made steamed buns at all, is this kind of competition still fair?"
As soon as the host announced that the theme of the competition was steamed buns, Gao Hui, who is the second chef of the Western kitchen, immediately protested.
But was his protest useful?
The answer is no!
At this time, the general manager Dai Qian has not yet given an explanation, Yu Ruoming said directly: "Steamed buns are the foundation of the foundation in pastry cooking, whether you are learning Western food or Chinese food, you should be no stranger to the practice of steamed buns, the position of the head chef of the knife of the Hemming Hotel is not only in charge of the Western kitchen, but all the kitchens of the entire Hemming Hotel, if you can't even make steamed buns, how can you be the head chef position, it is better to give up directly." ”
Yu Ruoming said a word, Gao Hui had nothing to say, and stood there silently.
Lei Xihua originally wanted to say something for him, but now as soon as he heard Yu Ruoming say this, he immediately closed his mouth.
In the final analysis, he and Gao Hui are also not related, why should he offend his top boss for such a person, this is an irrational performance, and he naturally will not do it.
None of the others spoke, and apparently there was no objection to the theme of buns.
In fact, no matter what the theme of cooking is, as long as you can make satisfying food, you should do it as a chef.
A real chef can be comfortable no matter what kind of subject he is facing, instead of using his words as a Western chef as an excuse, in fact, Gao Hui has already done a good job in this aspect, and if he doesn't make the cooked buns really delicious, it is really difficult to get the position of head chef.
"Except that the theme is steamed buns, there is no requirement for the number of steamed buns made in this competition, as long as the steamed buns you make are delicious even if they are just a steamed bun, this competition allows three chefs to add an additional assistant to help him make steamed buns, the competition lasts for two hours, everyone takes a break first, and the competition starts again. ”
As soon as the host's voice fell, Su Yang and the others had a chance to breathe, and he came to their Chinese kitchen, and Guan Yuping also came over at this time.
As soon as he saw Su Yang, he immediately praised him without hesitation: "Su Yang, you performed well this time, continue to work hard, I can tell you in advance that your score in the last round of the knife skill competition was very high, and there should be no problem in winning the first place." ”
However, the most important thing next is the second round of the competition, although the second round is more than the steamed buns, but the knife skills are also very important, the proportion and thickness of the filling will affect the taste of the buns, and it is not easy to make really delicious buns. ”
For this time the theme is steamed buns, which is also something that Guan Yuping did not expect before, with his previous conjecture that it should be cooking with some themes of knife skills, but now it seems that this is not the case, it is obvious that this choice is not chosen by the general manager Dai Qian herself, she alone does not have this decision-making power, and the real decision is still in the hands of the chairman of the highest person in charge of the hotel.
From this theme alone, it can be seen that the chairman is probably not an ordinary layman, and it is very likely that he is also a chef, otherwise it would be impossible to come up with such a clever trick.
"Don't worry, Chef, I'll make a bun that will please the judges." Su Yang said with great confidence.
"That's good! I look forward to your performance. ”
After praising and encouraging Su Yang, Guan Yuping returned to the judges' seat.
At this time, Tang Xiaoling, who had not spoken, said with a smile: "It seems that our chef has quite high expectations for you." ”
"He knew that only Gao Hui, who was a Western chef among the three of us, was qualified to compete with me, but no one expected that the theme of the second round of this competition would be steamed buns, which are the least popular among Western chefs, so my chances of winning in this row will naturally be greater. Su Yang also said with a smile.
"What if you lose? You must know that the steamed bun seems simple, but the filling in it is very difficult to prepare, what should you do, do you already have a score in your heart?" Tang Xiaoling asked.
"Nope. Su Yang's answer was also very crisp.
As soon as he heard this, Tang Xiaoling immediately covered his face, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I was really defeated by you, I don't know how to make buns yet, you are so confident, are you the other two air?"
"Isn't it two hours for the boat to go straight to the bridge?" Su Yang said indifferently.
Tang Xiaoling really didn't know what to say at this time, the game was about to start, but he didn't have any idea in his heart about how to make steamed buns.
However, since Su Yang has such a strong self-confidence, Tang Xiaoling also knows that he shouldn't beat Zhou Zhou's self-confidence, so he just stands by and waits for the game to come.
Half an hour has passed, and I don't know if the three chefs who participated in the second round have figured out how to make this bun, but the competition time is not waiting, and now I officially announce the start of the second round. After more than 20 minutes, the host spoke.
As soon as these words fell, Gao Hui and Wan Lin both began to act, only Su Yang was still pondering in front of his stove, not knowing what he was thinking, which made the people around him who supported him very confused, however, there were still many doubts at the beginning, and everyone was puzzled, but they were not particularly anxious, so although Su Yang did not start to act, they did not say anything.
At this time, Gao Hui and Wan Lin had already brought the materials to make the buns to the front of the stove, and all that was left was to mix the dough first, and then make the bun skin with the dough, and this first step was completed.
And the rest is the most important filling of the bun.
As we all know, there are all kinds of fillings for buns, and there are many patterns, which can be vegetables, meat, or vegetables.
But it is not so easy to make delicious fillings, and since Gao Hui and Wan Lin have only just entered the noodle season, they don't know what kind of fillings they have chosen.
But one thing is for sure, neither of them chose meat fillings, because there was no meat among the ingredients they were holding.
