Chapter 64: Shredded cabbage
Chen Kai saw the latest event poster next door, and Duoduoke launched a recommended dish cooked by Chef Dong himself, and the first dish was actually shredded cabbage.
To be honest, Chen Kai really wanted to go next door to taste it, but it was about to be eaten, so he had to give up.
Cooking shredded cabbage next door, Chen Kai thought about it, and simply had a shredded cabbage at noon to make a base.
Sitting in the Heli fast food store, blowing the electric fan, Chen Kai finally prepared the menu of the dishes on the insulated table.
Shredded cabbage, shredded pork with green pepper, eggplant with minced meat.
In addition to the shredded cabbage, the other two dishes are the dishes that diners who eat at Heli Fast Food with the highest order frequency these days.
As for the shredded cabbage, since the store opened, no customers have ordered it from Chen Kai's side.
Although the name is very ordinary, as a chef from the professional class, Chen Kai knows very well that the cooking process of shredded cabbage is very delicate, and if the technique is slightly worse, the dish will be completely ruined.
It's not as easy to make this dish as good as it gets.
Just as Chen Kai was carefully reinforcing the key points of making shredded cabbage in his heart, the glass door was pushed open.
"Boss morning!" Li Feifei wore a ponytail today, wore khaki casual bib pants and walked in with a big grin, and when she saw Chen Kai, she actually saluted exaggeratedly.
Chen Kai, who was originally immersed in the cooking process, was made to cry and laugh by Li Feifei's set.
"Xiaofei, what are you doing at noon?"
Li Feifei said with a smile: "I am now a regular employee of Heli Fast Food, you are now my boss, I don't want to offend you, I must let you enjoy the feeling of being superior." ”
Chen Kai looked helpless: "You are normal." ”
"Get me ice cream, it's hot. ”
"Oh. ”
Chen Kai honestly went into the kitchen, took a box of ice cream from the freezer, and came out and handed it to Li Feifei.
"Before the guests come, you can rest first, I'm going to start cooking. ”
Li Feifei held the ice cream box in one hand and curiously pointed to the insulated table under the kitchen window.
"You're going to buy this machine this morning, huh?"
Chen Kai nodded: "That's it, I'll show you it, it's very simple." ”
Walking to the insulation table with Li Feifei, Chen Kai tested the heating method.
Li Feifei pouted with an ice cream scoop in her mouth and nodded: "Well, it looks very simple, you go and cook, the guests will be almost there." ”
Chen Kai smiled, first took out the three iron boxes where the dishes were placed on the insulation table, carried them to the kitchen, rinsed them under the cold water pipe, and then installed them back, and covered them with a transparent thermal insulation lid of glass.
Standing in the kitchen, Chen Kai moved his cervical spine and waist slightly, looked at the pile of materials in the room, and smiled slightly.
First, I took out a round cabbage from the vegetable cabinet next to it, and the front looked like a leather ball.
Chen Kai opened the cold water pipe of the sink, carefully cleaned the cabbage under the water pipe with running water, and then held the cabbage in both hands and threw it into the sink to speed up the drainage.
After tossing for a while, the cabbage finally became dry, and the shredded cabbage made in this way will have a crispy texture, which is the first key.
Chen Kai took off the kitchen knife from the knife holder, put the cabbage on the cutting board and cut it off, clicked, and cut the cabbage in half.
Using the tip of the knife to cut the hardest stalk in the center of the cabbage, pull it out with his hand, and then put the kitchen knife aside, Chen Kai began to tear the cabbage leaves into evenly sized leaves with his hands.
The cabbage torn by hand is disconnected along the veins of the leaf itself, so the section of the torn cabbage leaf is irregular and uneven compared to the smooth knife edge.
In this way, the contact area between the cabbage and the sauce will increase during the frying process, making it easier to absorb the flavor and hang the juice, which is the second key.
Chen Kai was tearing up there happily, and the uninformed person looked like a child tearing paper and playing.
Tear off all the crisp leaves and put them in a pot, and throw all the thick stalks into the trash.
Chen Kai took out a few garlic slices, cut them into garlic slices, then took out some green peppercorns, and grabbed a small handful of dried chili peppers and put them together for later use.
Light the fire and burn the pot!
After the pot was hot, Chen Kai took out a big spoon, poured a full spoonful of base oil into the spoon, flicked his wrist, and drew a circle along the middle of the hot pot.
Wow......!
As the oil slides from the edge of the hot pan to the bottom of the pan, it is quickly heated by the hot iron pan, and when the oil comes together, it is basically five ripe.
The base oil of shredded cabbage is slightly more than that of ordinary stir-frying, and if there is too little oil, it is easy to fry cabbage.
After a few moments, the oil temperature reached 70% hot.
Immediately, Chen Kai first put the garlic slices, green peppercorns and dried peppers in the pot and stir-fried until fragrant.
Because it is mixed with garlic slices, Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers are not fried.
Now is the most critical time, Chen Kai's eyes lit up, he concentrated, picked up the vegetable basket next to him, and poured the torn cabbage leaves into the pot.
The heat wave gushed out from the bottom of the stove pot, Chen Kai didn't blink his eyes, grabbed the big spoon, gently moved the pot back and forth with his left hand, and quickly stir-fried with the spoon in his right hand.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, the cabbage gradually broke off.
Chen Kai felt that the time around him seemed to slow down, his mind was very clear, put down the big spoon, and opened the spice box.
Half a spoon of salt, half a spoon of monosodium glutamate, and a little sugar to enhance the flavor, and then quickly grabbed the glass bottle containing the soy sauce of the fairy world next to it.
Here's the key point!
Chen Kai stared tightly, opened the cap of the bottle, poured a small circle of fairy soy sauce along the edge of the pot, and then quickly took the old vinegar bottle next to him and put it into the pot a little.
The vinegar-scented, salty-fragrant, and unparalleled umami of fairy soy sauce poured out of the pot at once, and Chen Kai couldn't help but take a deep breath with his nose.
"It tastes so good!"
The lettuce was coated with a faint sauce color, and Chen Kai quickly stir-fried it over high heat while counting in his heart.
After a few seconds, the sauce and cabbage leaves were perfectly stir-fried evenly, and the aroma of the ingredients and vegetables blended together, and Chen Kai himself couldn't help but want to taste it.
Turn off the heat and get off the pot!
Chen Kai grabbed the wet towel next to him and wiped his face slightly, and with his left hand, he picked up the whole wok, and shouted outside:
"Xiaofei, lift the glass lid of the three vegetable grids on the top of the thermos, and I'm going to serve the food out." ”
"Okay!" Li Feifei's voice came from outside.
"Whew...... Here it is, be careful, be careful!" Chen Kai held the handle of the pot steadily, looked at the road in front of him, and cautiously walked out of the kitchen.
"Here's this!" Li Feifei held a rectangular glass lid in her right hand and stood next to the insulation table.
"You stand a little farther away, if my hands shake when I pour the food inside, the hot soup may spill. ”
As soon as Chen Kai reminded him, Li Feifei immediately took two steps back, and blocked the rectangular glass insulation cover in front of her, and pushed her glasses with her index finger, looking wary.
Gradually moving the wok to the top of the insulation table, Chen Kai stabilized his left hand, tilted the pot, and gently transferred the hot dishes in the pot to the insulated box with a spoon in his right hand.
Wow...... As the shredded cabbage in the wok is poured into the insulated box with the soup, a mouth-watering aroma of vegetables is also stimulated.
Li Feifei originally looked vigilant against scalding, but suddenly her little nose twitched.
"I'll go, Chen Kai, what kind of dish are you stir-frying, it smells super appetizing!"
Chen Kai scraped the vegetables at the bottom of the pot, raised his head and said to Li Feifei with a smile:
"Don't talk about these things yet, there is no one who uses this lid as a shield, quickly take the lid and cover it, otherwise it will be easy to get cold even if it is insulated." ”
Li Feifei sighed, hurriedly stepped forward to close the lid, unscrewed the power supply of the insulation table, and adjusted the temperature to eighty-five degrees.
"I just took a look, and it looks like a hand-torn cabbage. ”
"yes, that's right. ”
"Why did you think of making this dish?" Li Feifei couldn't help but lean close to the insulation table and sniffed it, and asked puzzledly.
Chen Kai shook his head helplessly: "No way, it's also inspired, I haven't made this dish for a long time, take it for an experiment, and there are two more, I went in first, and the guests came and shouted." ”
"Okay. Li Feifei made an OK gesture.
Chen Kai turned around and entered the kitchen with a wok, first brushed the pot in the sink, then took ten seconds to sort out his thoughts, lit the fire and boiled the pot, and stir-fried a pot of shredded pork with green peppers and vegetables.
After putting the shredded green pepper meat into the insulation table, Chen Kai entered the palace three times without stopping, and went to the kitchen to make the last meat foamed eggplant.
The three hot food compartments of the insulated table were already filled, and Chen Kai stood at a dining table with chalk in his hand, and on the table was a blackboard used by Heli Fast Food to make notices.
"Xiaofei, do you write beautifully?"
"I'll write it to you. Li Feifei picked up the chalk and wrote the words "dominate the country" on the blackboard.
glanced at Li Feifei's calligraphy.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself. Chen Kai was also helpless.
"Dear customers, Heli Fast Food has launched a secret dish, ready to eat in the store, welcome to taste, today's main course: shredded cabbage, shredded pork with green pepper, eggplant with meat foam. ”
After brushing and writing, Chen Kai straightened his waist, walked out of the door, and hung the small blackboard at the door.
