Chapter 16 The Origin of Noble Rotten Wine
"It's ready to eat, but when it's cold, it will affect the flavor of the dish. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Liu Mang saw that no one moved his chopsticks, so he took the lead in putting a piece into his bowl.
"Alasγγγγ Li Ruonan let out a faint sigh, as if a fine piece of porcelain had been shattered in front of him.
She also picked up a piece, and the burgundy sauce wrapped around the fried golden cod liver, shimmering with a little oil, so that she couldn't wait to put it in her mouth and bite it gently.
First it is crispy, which is why the skin of the cod liver is fried just right, and then it is soft, which is the texture of the cod liver itself. Immediately, a delicious, soft, fatty but not greasy taste overflowed between the lips and teeth.
Li Ruonan closed his eyes and savored the taste, as if recalling the amazing feeling he had when he first ate the top French foie gras.
But unlike foie gras, this time the herring liver is not so fatty, but more delicate, salty and sweet, the two originally opposite flavors, neutralized just right, you have me, I have you.
When I chewed again, the smell of shredded garlic and perilla followed, and a slight spicy sensation rose at the base of the tongue and rushed straight to the nose, making the taste that was originally immersed in the plump taste of cod liver slightly vibrate, as if in a stuffy room, I suddenly pushed open the window.
This is the top delicacy! She has eaten this herring bald lung a long time ago, although it is also delicious, but it is just delicious, and there is no such a rich taste, and this time Liu Mang's herring bald lung is better in the original taste, and the blue is better than the blue.
"How did you come up with the idea of using perilla? Shanghai chefs rarely use perilla? This time, the perilla is a perfect match, not only suppressing the original fishy smell of the fish liver, but also increasing the flavor of the fish liver. Li Ruonan put down his chopsticks and couldn't help asking.
"Well, it's still a secret. Liu Mang was speechless, he had to use this sentence to perfunctory her again, he couldn't say that he still had a magical kitchen god space on his body.
It seems that the recipes given by the kitchen space are not exactly the same, but have been changed on the basis of the original to make the taste more perfect.
"Not bad, not bad. Liu Mang also put a piece in his mouth, nodded again and again, and a sense of pride arose.
What is the chef's greatest wish? and that is to create dishes that not only satisfy diners, but also make them happy.
"Uncle, drink this bar. Li Ruonan saw that Liu Mang's father was about to open a cheap bottle of Shaoyang Daqu, and hurriedly took out the wine she brought.
"Foreign wine, this wine is expensive, isn't it?"
This wine is served in a bottle of red wine, but unlike red wine, this wine is golden in color, like a bottle of yellow-orange-orange honey.
"Come, taste them all, good wine with good dishes, if it weren't for the dishes you made today that made Miss Ben particularly satisfied, I would be reluctant to take it out." Li Ruonan opened it with a bottle opener, and each person filled a glass.
"This taste?" Liu Mang took a sip, his face complicated: "It's very special." β
Liu Mang himself only loves homemade soju from a small local brewery, and is not interested in some red wines, whiskey, or anything. Of course, he couldn't afford to drink either.
However, today this wine gave him a different feeling, and with his sense of smell and taste, which was countless times sharper than ordinary people, he could naturally feel the extraordinaryness of this wine.
This wine has a sweet taste, without the astringency and sourness of ordinary wines, and more particularly, the aroma of this wine is very pleasant, and when you drink it, the whole nasal cavity is filled with an elegant fruity aroma, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Yes, it's a good wine! It's a little sweet, but it's moderately sweet, and it's rich and flavorful, and it's not made from ordinary grapes, right?"
"Huh, have you drunk it before?" Li Ruonan was surprised at this time, and couldn't help asking.
"I've only drunk red wine a few times. β
"Oh my God, it's a waste of your talent not to be a sommelier with this sense of taste!" Li Ruonan shocked this man one after another today.
"It's called noble rot, and it's only grown in a few parts of Europe. The biggest difference between this wine and ordinary wine is that the grapes it uses are infected by a bacterium called noble rot, which requires a very unique climate to form, not every year, and also has to go through artificial layers of selection, and the brewing cycle is long, so this leads to its extremely low yield, which is difficult for ordinary people to buy. β
"Big sister, that must be very expensive?" Wuyan carefully held the cup, for fear of spilling it.
"Of course. Li Ruonan's title of the eldest sister of the Five Eyes is very useful: "Our group has a winery in Hungary, but we can only get more than 100 wineries every year, and the price of such a vintage is about 7 to 80,000 US dollars, and it is not in the market." β
"Ahh
"It's nothing, compared to this herring bald lung, this wine is worthless, because even if the yield is low, you can always drink it for a little more money, but not everyone is happy with such a wonderful dish. β
Li Ruonan pointed to the ancient poem outlined with sauce on the edge of the disc with chopsticks, and then said: "This is from Wang Changling's "Sending Cheng Liu", I didn't expect you to not only have outstanding knife skills, but also write so beautifully, how many years have you practiced?"
"Five years of regular script, three years of official books, two years of small seals, never stopped, recently began to practice the book, in fact, this word is written very generally, if there is a wind bone, from those who are still far away. Liu Mang said modestly.
It is no wonder that only those who have been immersed in calligraphy for a long time can appreciate the wonder of Chinese landscapes and put on such an artistic conception. I've never been able to reach that height in my lifetime. Li Ruonan sighed faintly.
"Not necessarily, there is also plating in Western food, and I have heard that those great chefs can put on an abstract painting, and you studied abroad since you were a child, and you will definitely be able to do it in the future. β
"Okay, is this a consolation?" Li Ruonan was a little frustrated.
"Boss, there's no food, you don't eat the rest of the sauce, then it's mine. β
Unconsciously, a plate of herring bald lungs has been eaten by everyone. Wuyan was even more direct, made a bowl of hot rice, buttoned it into the disc that still had a little sauce left, stirred the chopsticks a few times, and gulped it up.
"Cow chews peony!" Li Ruonan took a sip secretly, rolled up his sleeves, and stood up: "Okay! Next, let's try Miss Ben's craftsmanship!"
She walked to the stove, and instead of using the turret stove used by Liu Mang for stir-frying, she unscrewed the liquefied gas tank and used the small stove next to her to fry the fish pieces that she had already pickled.
As the fish pieces in the oil pan and the grease touched each other, the "sizzle" sound sounded, and a rich fragrance poured into everyone's noses.
"Looks pretty good. Liu Mang sniffled, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Generally speaking, Western food is rarely used river fish to make fish steaks, most of them are used marine fish, in addition to the reason for the many spines, the most important thing is that the meat of the river fish itself has a muddy smell, which is not easy to remove.
However, this time Li Ruonan didn't know what method he used to remove this taste cleanly, not to mention the taste for the time being, this fragrance has already made this dish half successful.
Li Ruonan finished frying the fish pieces, then took out some rice and took out a little rice soup, boiled it on the fire, and then added fish brains to boil.
It didn't take long for the two dishes to be ready, and Li Ruonan brought them to the table, looking forward to it like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to check his homework
"Taste it, how about it?"
