Chapter 676: Delicious Food (Part II)
Gordon Ramsay's sandwich noodles are similar to the 'soup fried rice' that Liu Mang used to make.
"Don't think about it, it's not surprising that it is poured with a machine, it has long been available in China. Seeing Liu Mang staring at the spaghetti on the plate stunned, Lin Xiao couldn't help but remind in Chinese.
"Ah, did the machine do it?"
"Of course, do you think foreigners can make it by hand?"
"Oh...... Machine-made. Liu Mang was still thinking about what to do with handwork, but when he heard Lin Xiao say this, he was relieved.
Liu Mang's thinking is actually very old-fashioned. In his opinion, the skill of the chef is the most important, and the machine is always different from the human. Just like hand-rolled dough and machine-pressed dough, the taste can be felt by ordinary people. So when Gordon Ramsay brought the noodles, he didn't realize that they were being pressed by a machine.
"It can be done manually, and the taste will be even better. Liu Mang thought for a moment and said to Lin Xiao.
"How?"
"It's very simple, roll the noodles into large pieces, spread the filling, and then roll them into strips, and pull them directly with the Lanzhou ramen method. ”
"It's going to break. Lin Xiao was a little skeptical, this would indeed be able to pull out the noodles with filling, but after adding the filling to the noodles, they would lose their elasticity and could not be pulled at all.
"It does break. Liu Mang nodded: "So the chef's skills are very demanding, and you must have enough patience." ”
"You can add egg whites to increase the toughness of the noodles. ”
"That's right, the noodles are more elastic, and if you make your own filling, it will definitely be better than the ordinary noodles sold outside. ”
"Okay, I'll try it later. ”
"What are you talking about?" Seeing Liu Mang and Lin Xiao discussing passionately, Gordon Ramsay, whose Chinese was only in the elementary stage, couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, we're talking about how delicious this noodle would be if it was processed manually. ”
"Haha, Mr. Lin. It's impossible, how can humans replace machines?" laughed Gordon Ramsay.
In order to make this unique sandwich noodle, Gordon Ramsay found a pasta factory and set up a production line to produce it according to his requirements.
You know, even the production line made by the machine was made by engineers repeatedly and changed the recipe countless times.
As for the artificial? Gordon Ramsay didn't even think about it, it was like training a monkey to cook, it was impossible.
"Of course, in the eyes of our Chinese chefs, as long as it is a dish, there are all possibilities. Lin Xiao affirmed.
"Then Mr. Lin, do you mind if you ask Mr. Liu Mang to demonstrate it to me?"
Gordon didn't believe that he could make stuffed noodles with his hands at all, but if he could make Liu Mang a little ugly, wouldn't the last time be over?
"This ......" Lin Xiao stopped and scolded himself secretly.
After all, this kind of noodles is still in the discussion between him and Liu Mang, and it is unknown whether it can be realized.
"Lao Liu, you want to see it, can you try it?"
"Now?" Liu Mang was also stunned.
Of course, it's good to be able to do it, but if you can't do it, isn't it a shame?
"How sure are you?"
"It's about seventy percent. ”
"Seventy percent is enough! The chances of winning are very big. Lin Xiao immediately said in French: "Mr. Gordon, Mr. Liu Mang is very willing to show it." ”
"Okay, here, please. Seeing that Liu Mang agreed, Gordon suddenly became suspicious. Is it true that a human hand can be compared to a machine?
Everyone followed Gordon into the back kitchen of the restaurant, and as soon as they saw the arrival, the chefs in the kitchen immediately started talking.
"Who is this Asian? Didn't the chef invite Paul Bocuse to dinner?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a good friend of the chef. Seeing that it was not Paul Bocuse who came, Escher was a little disappointed.
"Let me introduce to you that this is Mr. Liu Mang, a chef from China. Gordon motioned for everyone to put down their work and said.
"It turned out to be Mr. Liu Mang, and I didn't recognize the real person for a while. Escher was stunned.
"Escher, do you know?" asked a cook next to him.
"I don't know, but I've seen his cooking videos in the U.S. last year. ”
"How's the level? Can you compare to our chef?"
"Well, it's two different styles entirely. All I can say is that the skills of this Chinese culinary god are full of oriental mysteries and are very amazing. ”
The video Escher saw was the last time Liu Mang recorded a promotional video for the World Heritage application in the United States. In that film, Liu Mang not only made fried hemp balls, but also demonstrated the use of inverted incense to smoke golden legs, and explained its principle.
"Amazing?"
"Very, very good! No wonder Chef Gordon treats him as a guest. ”
"Where did you look at that video? I'll take a look at it too. ”
"It's on my computer at home, and I'll pass it to you in the evening. ”
"Mr. Liu Mang, what tools do you need, just say. Led Liu Mang to a large stainless steel table, Gordon said.
This stainless steel table is covered with a whole natural wooden plank, which is supposed to be where the chefs usually make pastries with noodles.
"I need a rolling pin, do you?" Liu Mang said, rolling up his sleeves.
"Rolling pin?" After listening to Lin Xiao's explanation, Gordon Ramsay understood what Liu Mang wanted for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Mang. We don't have your Chinese rolling pins for Western food. Do you think this is okay? No, I'll call someone to Chinatown and buy one right away. Gordon took out a wooden utensil from the cupboard: "We usually use this to make pastries. ”
The utensil is a log with a thin piece of wood in the middle and can be rolled back and forth, much like the mills used to grind corn in rural China.
"No, just use this. Liu Mang pressed the handles at both ends of the appliance with both hands, rolled on the board a few times, and replied.
"That's good, what else do you need?"
"Well, I need about three pounds of cake flour, one pound of cake flour, and twenty eggs. After Liu Mang finished speaking, he patted Lin Xiao's shoulder: "Brother Lin, I'll make noodles, and the filling will be handed over to you." ”
"What are the requirements?"
"Demand. Liu Mang thought for a while: "Anything is fine, but the humidity should be just right, not too wet, not too dry, just like making a lion's head filling." ”
"No problem, leave it to me. ”
"Chef David, what is this Chinese chef god going to do?" asked a chef.
"They say Chef Gordon's lobster pasta tastes even better if it's made by hand. ”
"You mean, hand-made pasta with a filling?"
"Yes. ”
"Impossible, right?" At this point, the other cooks in the kitchen almost fryed.
"Is there any mistake? How can a person fill a small filling into a thin noodle?"
"yes, unless it's magical!"
…………
"I believe that Mr. Liu Mang can do it!" There were so many people, only Escher made a different voice.
Liu Mang performed the reflux incense, before he knew the principle, no one would think that the smoke would flow backwards. Escher vividly remembers the overwhelming feeling he felt when he watched the video for the first time.
He felt that the miracle would definitely be repeated in this Chinese kitchen god.
