Chapter 109: Oil

"Soup...."

Luo Wei thought about it, and the soup was full of old hens, skinless and lean chicken breast, ham hooves, whole lean pork, wolfberries, salt, scallops, cooking wine, green onion and ginger...... There's nothing wrong with it, how can this be.

Then the steps are to boil the water stock first, cut the old hen well, wash it quickly, soak the scallops, and the washed ham hooves, ribs, etc. into different boiling water pots to blanch the water, remove the blood and impurities, and then take it out and wash it, and then put it in a large soup pot to cook the soup you need.

When cooked like this, not to mention the soup, even the ingredients themselves will not have a taste.

"Wait.... Is it because of this...."

Luo Wei glanced at a few cauldrons of ingredients, and suddenly thought of a little, regardless of Zhang Tian on the side, and went directly to a few pots.

"Give me a spoon. ”

"Na!"

Zhang Tian took the spoon and squatted carefully. This boiling cabbage, when he encountered such a problem, he was also very confused. I've encountered it before, but even Lao Liu and the boss couldn't find the reason, so the dish of boiling water cabbage, sometimes delicious, sometimes unpalatable, he has long been used to it. So much so that when he was helping the little boss try the dishes, he was not surprised, after all, it tasted like this.

It's just that looking at the appearance of the little boss, it seems that a solution has been found. Zhang Tian was overjoyed at first, and followed Luo Wei's movements, but when he calmed down, the thought of doubt surfaced again.

"Hiss"

Luo Wei tasted the soup in each pot, and sure enough, as he expected, there was a problem with the water.

"Where did we get our water from, and it is still supplied in the morning, noon and evening, and the water will be cut off at other times?"

"Well, tap water. ”

Zhang Tian was stunned, if it was a water problem, the old man and they had also thought of it, but in the end they all verified that it was not. Thinking of this, he was more or less disappointed in his eyes, and it seemed that the problem of boiling cabbage still had to be followed. Although he is still an apprentice, he has been cooking with Chef Liu all the year round, and he can already be a chef online. This time, Lao Liu asked him to help Luo Wei, just to mention what he meant. So he is not bad for that eyesight and sophistication....

He was sighing, when he saw Luo Wei's eyes light up, and he shouted Sure enough.

"What's wrong, little boss?"

"The tap water in our city doesn't come from that reservoir, it's summer again, the temperature is high, the algae are growing wildly, and the rainstorm has just passed, and it is normal for the water to have a fishy smell. Luo Wei talked eloquently, although the waterworks are equipped with advanced equipment, it is difficult to ensure that there is no time to cut corners.

But that's obviously not the point, it's about how to taste it.

Vinegar can remove the taste, everyone who cooks this knows, but in boiling cabbage, it will destroy the taste. No matter how little vinegar you put in, it will have a sour taste. Just like the water in this season, no matter how it is filtered, when it is delivered to every household, it still has the breath of nature.

Luo Wei's mind moved, the kitchen god deserved to be the kitchen god, and even this situation was solved in his experience.

"Xiaotian, please bring me some peanut oil, hurry. I figured out a way to fix it!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Tian smashed his mouth, hurriedly ran to the warehouse, and took a new bucket of peanut oil, or Arowana's 1:1:1 blended oil. There are many types of oil in the warehouse, and the taste varies depending on the oil used for cooking. Therefore, the hotel generally prepares all kinds of oil in case of emergency. Jumanlou is naturally no exception, Zhang Tian didn't hesitate much when choosing oil, the best peanut oil is not Arowana. When people advertise, they all go to national television.

Carrying a barrel of new oil, Zhang Tian ran back. As soon as he entered the back kitchen, he shouted:

"Little boss, I brought the oil, is there anything else to do. ”

As soon as he finished shouting, Zhang Tian was stunned when he looked at Luo Wei's figure.

The pot was up again, and it looked like it was messing with something. I actually threw in the chicken skin and chicken fat that had been removed before.

"Little boss, are you fried chicken fat?"

"Hmm. ”

Luo Wei nodded, took the pot, and poured the hot oil into the bowl on the side. Then he saw the bucket of new oil that Zhang Tian was carrying in his hand, and he was instantly happy.

"Arowana's. ”

Zhang Tian looked at Luo Wei and smiled, something was wrong, and asked, "Isn't it okay?" There are other ones in the warehouse, or I'll pick them up again. ”

"No, no, I just thought of the Arowana advertisement, not to say no. Give it to me...."

Luo Wei took the oil, opened the oil drum directly, and poured some into another bowl.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Tian looked at it and felt inexplicable.

"Mix the oil and cook the cabbage. ”

Yes?

Boiling cabbage, why do you have to adjust the oil. Zhang Tian didn't understand, so he could only watch it silently.

After Luo Wei waited for the chicken fat to be cold, he first removed the impurities in it, and then took a new bowl, picked up a bowl of chicken fat and a bowl of peanut oil, and began to adjust the oil. Each time I mix, I use chopsticks to take some of the flavor and then controls the amount of the two oils according to the taste.

After doing this, Luo Wei asked Zhang Tian to prepare a new pot.

Then the consommΓ© is boiled and a layer of fresh oil is poured on top. Waiting for the oil to spread out on the surface of the water, then the cabbage heart was thrown in.

At the same time, Luo Wei also took some soda in another new pot and boiled a new pot of boiling water. After cooking, I passed it through a strainer to a new pot, and then I made a new pot of broth.

Zhang Tian obviously saw some condensed impurities on the filter screen, and the little boss even added some vinegar to neutralize the taste of soda.

(PS: This plot is pure fiction, in fact, the ratio of vinegar and soda cannot be estimated so well, just neutralized, in fact, it will definitely affect the taste.) οΌ‰

The cabbage and broth are made separately and then stewed together.

"Little boss, why do you put oil when you cook cabbage. ”

"The oil I mix is peanut oil and chicken fat, two very light oils, which not only have a refreshing taste, but also form a film on the surface of the water, which will envelop the cabbage before it enters the water. In this way, the earthy smell in the water cannot be entered. It also ensures that the cabbage hearts are cooked. ”

"In addition, I add soda and vinegar to the soup pot to remove the earthy smell of the stock. ”

"The reason why we stew separately and then together this time is to ensure that the earthy smell can be isolated. Later, the product of the neutralization of vinegar and soda will also be evaporated by stewing. So in the end, they are stewed together, which not only ensures the freshness of the cabbage, but also ensures the removal of the fishy smell. ”

While preparing a new tea cup, Luo Wei took out a little soup from the pot and poured it into a small bowl.

"Try it again and see if it works. ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Tian was very excited, when the small bowl was served, the smell that he could smell before had changed a little.

The soup entered his mouth first, and a breath of heat directly burned Zhang Tian again and again, but his eyes did widen.

"How is it possible, not only is there no fishy smell of earth, but there is also a refreshing feeling. ”
