Chapter 701: Sugar Becomes Crystal (continued)
"Master Liu Mang, can I taste it?" staring at the 'grunt meat' on the plate, Sun Youchen felt a burst of heat in his throat.
"Taste it, when it's cold, it tastes gone. Liu Mang said with a smile.
Sun Youchen picked up the chopsticks, carefully picked up a piece of sluggling meat, put it in his mouth, and bit it down.
"Click!" a crisp sound burst between the teeth, and the aroma of pineapple mixed with the sweetness of the sugar shell rippled on the tip of the tongue first.
When the taste buds are intoxicated by this fascinating taste, before they can react, the second layer of sugar shell shatters as the teeth are engaged. The sweet and sour juice wrapped in it splattered ferociously all over the mouth.
The sweet and sour taste stimulates the salivary glands under the tongue, and a large amount of saliva is secreted, flooding the mouth.
I can't help but chew quickly, pineapple juice, sour vinegar sauce, plus the crispy pork belly with a 'crunch' bite, I want to make people like going up to the clouds.
Compared with Lin Xiao's traditional 'pineapple grunt meat' just now, Liu Mang's dish now not only retains the essence of it, but also enriches the level of taste and taste.
"It turns out that this is to improve the dishes!" Sun Youchen suddenly understood that the gap between himself and Liu Mang was at the bottom.
"Master Liu Mang, can you authorize me to sell this dish in my restaurant?" Sun Youchen blurted out.
"Uh...... Yes. Liu Mang was stunned.
"Mr. Sun, it doesn't matter if you sell it, but who are you going to find to do it?
"I'll do it myself. ”
"Don't be busy, you can't do it. Lin Xiao was sure.
"Why?" Sun Youchen was a little angry, he had already watched the whole production process just now, and Liu Mang promised to give him the recipe of the sour vinegar sauce, wouldn't it be difficult to copy it again?
"Mr. Sun, don't be angry, you see that Lao Liu made this dish just now is very simple, and the whole production process is not complicated, isn't it just wrapped in two layers of syrup, right?"
"This ......" Sun Youchen glanced at Liu Mang, in fact, he had already defaulted in his heart.
"I told Lao Liu that this new 'pineapple grunt pork' represents the top level of Chinese cuisine, and without ten or eight years of experience in Chinese kitchens, it is enough to even get started. ”
"No, is it that hard?"
Sun Youchen feels that he has learned cooking for nearly eight years, although it is not authentic Chinese food, but it is better than ordinary people, once or twice, it will definitely be able to make it after a few more practices.
"It's very difficult!" He Donglin picked up a piece of grunt meat from his plate: "I dare to say that there are no more than five people who can copy Chef Liu's dish, even in China." ”
"Why?"
"See this shell?" He Donglin pointed the Gollum meat at the spotlight on the ceiling: "If you want to make this shell, you must first learn to 'calm sugar as crystals', only people who have a certain degree of grasp of the characteristics of the ingredients and the heat can make a transparent shell like ice, if you don't master it well, the sugar color will be yellow and bitter, you don't need a few hundred catties of sugar to practice, you can't even enter the door at all." ”
"How many hundred catties?" Sun Youchen's eyes widened: "Use a few hundred catties of sugar to practice?"
"Of course. He Donglin nodded: "Actually, I still said to Shaoli, people with poor understanding, even if they use thousands of catties, it is not unusual." ”
"I guess I'm a bit less perceptive. Liu Mang touched his nose: "Back then, in order to practice, I used up two thousand catties of sugar. ”
"Please, you're not poor in understanding, you're desperate!" Lin Xiao rolled his eyes: "I heard Ruonan say that you can make a syrup that is bitter first and then sweet?"
"Yes. Liu Mang nodded and admitted: "Actually, it's very simple, if the syrup is boiled in the pot for too long, it will become bitter, and this process from sweet to bitter has a critical point, just grasp this critical point and quickly fade the fire." ”
"How long is the tipping point?" He Donglin asked.
"Four or five seconds, not a second late. ”
"Well, I can't do that. Lin Xiao and He Donglin thought about it and shook their heads again and again.
As for Sun Youchen, he was confused, and he didn't know what Lin Xiao was talking about.
No way, for these masters, Sun Youchen's understanding of Chinese food is still in the initial stage of Xiaobai.
"Then everyone, do you know all this kind of sugar suppression technique?" However, Sun Youchen was still a little unrelenting, he felt that if everyone knew it, it meant that there should be a chance to succeed in learning.
"Of course I would. Lin Xiao replied.
"Well, I'm a little worse, compared to the sugar color that Master Liu concocted, the color is more cloudy. He Donglin replied.
"I ...... I'll probably practice for another three years to see if I can do the same as the head chef. Shan Jian said with some uncertainty.
"Chinese food is really difficult!" Sun Youchen sighed.
"The hard part is yet to come. Although it is a bit difficult, most chefs can do it after hard practice, and the real difficulty is how to wrap another layer of sugar shell in addition to one layer of sugar shell!" He Donglin put the grunt meat on the tip of the chopsticks into his mouth, and after chewing it a few times, he praised it again and again.
"These two layers of sugar shells are independent of each other, pineapple juice and sweet and sour sauce have no flavor, only after the taste of the population will they blend with each other, forming a gradual sense of layering, not a real glutton, will not feel the wonders!"
"Then what should I do?" Sun Youchen asked.
"I don't know, I can't do it, you ask the person. He Donglin spread his hands.
"At the end of the day, it's still the heat. Liu Mang took over the conversation: "After the syrup is wrapped in the first layer of syrup and cooled into crystals, you have to have a bottom in your heart, knowing how many degrees the sugar shell melts, and how long it will take to stir-fry in the pot." If the stir-fry time is too short, another layer of sugar shell will not form, and if the stir-fry time is too long, the first layer of sugar shell will melt and paste together with the second layer of sugar shell, and the two juices contained in it will taste and affect the taste and appearance of the dish. ”
"That'...... How do you grasp that?" Sun Youchen's heart fell to the bottom.
After seeing the true charm of Chinese cuisine, he has already strengthened his determination to learn Chinese cooking, but now it is just a dish, and the difficulties involved are like unclimbable mountains, blocking his footsteps.
"To be honest, I can't tell. Liu Mang pondered: "This feeling can only be understood, not spoken." The dish is stir-fried in the pot, and you can naturally feel its changes in your mind. It's like people are born to eat, but they don't know why. ”
"Diligence is the only way to success. Lin Xiao patted Sun Youchen on the shoulder: "Of course, if you compare it with some perverts, the so-called diligence is not worth mentioning." ”
"Who...... Who's a pervert?"
"Hello!" Lin Xiao pouted at Liu Mang: "The chef god standing in front of you has actually only learned to cook for three years and seven months. ”
"Ah!!h
