How to make shredded hot and sour potatoes? This is basically clear to most people, the potatoes are shredded, put into the pot, stir-fried, condimented, and out of the pot. The rhythm is basically these rhythms, and whether it tastes good in the end is another matter.
To put it simply, the taste of shredded potatoes in most families is average, and there is a big gap between the shredded potatoes made by some real top chefs.
This dish, of course, is also extremely exquisite chef's level.
"Hot and sour shredded potatoes?" After Sun Zhengyi heard Li Qingming's introduction, he began to stir-fry.
I have to say that Son's knife work is still there. Before that, french fries, that also needed to be cut. Although you can choose what kind of planer you use to cut the fries, the taste is not comparable to that of a master chef cutting them by hand.
Don't look at the appearance of this seems to be a little bit different, in fact, the final texture comes out, and the taste is much worse. The first gap between the sour and hot shredded potatoes fried at home and the sour and hot potato shredded fried by the master is the knife work.
The top sour and hot potato shreds, the knife work must be good, and the size, length, and thickness of the shredded potatoes must be the same. This is a very delicate knife work. Ordinary families, how can there be such good knife work. Naturally, the taste of this stir-fry will inevitably be uneven, unevenly heated, and the taste will be uneven, which is extremely normal.
Secondly, after shaving the skin, it must be soaked in water. This potato is a starchy food, and if it is under the starch, it will be slimy, and the taste will definitely be bad. Therefore, after peeling, it is necessary to soak it, wash it, and try to avoid the starch sticking to the pan as much as possible, resulting in not being crispy and refreshing enough.
After this is soaked, it has to be drained before you start cutting. This is also to avoid starch sticking. Then after cutting, it is still necessary to soak, not not to soak, which must ensure that the starch will not stick to the surface because of the knife cutting, resulting in sticky and poor taste in the hot pan.
Then, before putting it in the pan, it is still drained, and it must be completely drained so that no water enters the pan. Otherwise, the soup is watery, and this plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes comes out, which will not be any better.
"Master, this Chinese cuisine, every dish has so much knowledge. This is too exquisite!" Sun Zhengyi sighed, "Compared to this plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, the whole chicken feast is nothing at all!"
Li Qingming smiled.
"The reason why Chinese cuisine is unique in the world is that it pays attention to the ingredients, the process, and the heat. Wherever this is bad, the taste will be much worse. Also, as far as Chinese cuisine is concerned, the simpler the dish, the more difficult it is. The simpler the dish, the more difficult it is for you to achieve the extreme. Li Qingming advised, "That's much more difficult than those big dishes." It's like a whole chicken feast, you can make it, and it doesn't taste bad. As long as the condiments are complete, the taste can be improved. But this sour and hot shredded potatoes, just such a plate, without any condiments, you want to fry to the extreme, but it is very difficult. And you can't guarantee that every plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes will be equally delicious!"
The shredded hot and sour potatoes are too simple, but every process in this process must not be sloppy. If it's a little sloppy, the taste will be much worse. And it is difficult for any master chef to ensure that every dish is made the same. It's hard to guarantee. It's also quite understandable. After all, you can't always maintain the same level of every dish, there will always be ups and downs.
Therefore, some chefs of large restaurants, in order to taste similar to different customers, will not suddenly feel that this time is good, and the next time is bad, they will often keep a little hand, and will not do their best to make each dish, and try to ensure that the taste of the dish is consistent.
Of course, whether this is delicious or not depends on the chef's background. If his cooking skills are good enough, good enough, then every dish will not be much worse.
"This dish, there is another point, that is, it must be on a high fire, this is a dish that must be stir-fried on a fierce fire!" Li Qingming pointed out.
Son nodded.
Subsequently, Son put aside the study of other dishes for the time being, and concentrated on stir-frying this plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes. This is not a big deal, and the whole restaurant is filled with the aroma of sour and hot shredded potatoes, which is extremely rich.
"Bang!" and the door opened.
"Oh my God, what kind of smell is this, so sour and spicy, well, it's so fragrant!" Liu Chang's voice came.
"Is it time to eat?" Liu Chang asked in the next sentence.
Li Qingming looked at the time, it was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
"Eat, eat!" Li Qingming announced.
It didn't take long for the table to be filled with dishes.
Zero zero total, twenty or thirty kinds. However, Liu Chang and Uncle Xiang were bluant.
This smell is very fragrant, very fragrant, very fragrant, but on this table, how is it all the same!
"What kind of dish is this?" asked Liu Chang.
"Hot and sour shredded potatoes!" Li Qingming introduced, "Don't look at these more than 20 plates, they all look the same, but they all have their own tastes." Hot and sour potato shredded feast!"
Liu Chang and Uncle Xiang looked suspicious. Although this smells sour and spicy, it is extremely appetizing, and it should be very good. But it's all the same dish, and I feel tired of looking at it.
But let's eat!
"Hey, it's so sour and spicy, but it's delicious!" Liu Chang couldn't stand it when he took the first bite of it. Fierce steak rice, this one is a little too spicy, but it's cool!
"This plate is so sour!" Uncle Xiang ate a plate, and the taste was a different taste, very sour. But it's also very good.
Subsequently, the two began to eat the sour and spicy shredded potatoes on different plates, trying different flavors.
As for Li Qingming and Son Zhengyi, after this day's experiment, their stomachs have long been dead. This chef usually overeats when trying to make a new dish. This feeling is too uncomfortable.
In a row, the two of them ate five bowls of rice, and finally put down the chopsticks, with a satisfied face, patting the round belly, and the smug appearance of the two collapsed.
Satisfied!
Li Qingming didn't ask the two of them if the plate of sour and hot shredded potatoes was better. In fact, to see if the dishes are delicious or not, the easiest way is to see which one of the dishes on the table is less.
There are a total of 27 dishes on this table, and each dish has been tried by Liu Chang and Uncle Xiang. As for people, they all seek good fortune and avoid evil, so if the food is delicious, they will instinctively eat that kind of food.
At the moment, there are twenty-seven dishes on the table, and there are a few dishes that are almost not moving, which goes without saying, it is definitely not delicious. And among them, there is a plate, not to mention shredded potatoes, even the peppers have been eaten. In the end, even that little bit of soup was eaten clean by bibimbap. What does this mean?
Go without saying!
Li Qingming picked up the empty plate and looked at it in turn, and it was written on it: Hot and sour +++.
This sour and spicy means that the shredded potatoes are sour and spicy, sour and spicy. As for +++, that's how sour and spicy it is, it's super sour and spicy.
"Justice, now I know why I say that people don't care how hot and sour it is. They only care about one thing, whether it tastes good or not!" Li Qingming said.
Son nodded heavily.
Of course, Li Qingming's words are not absolute. In fact, there must be a limit to this sour and spicy, and this sour and hot must be within the range of human acceptance. For example, among the twenty-seven dishes, there are also sour and hot +++++, and this Liu Chang and Uncle Xiang just ate a little bit and stopped trying it. Because it's too spicy, it's beyond their reach. is so spicy, people can't stand it when they eat it in their mouths.
Not only people can't stand it, but the stomach can't stand it either. Only the kind of sour and hot that happens right is the best.
"In the future, this is the standard, and then according to different guests, it can be increased or decreased in terms of sour and spicy!" Li Qingming said.
After all, some people have different tolerances. Of course, to put it simply, those who are not afraid of spicy can only show that their bodies are not sensitive enough for spicy nerves. After years of eating spicy, the nerves of taste about spicy have become numb, and I can no longer easily feel spicy. Naturally, I am not afraid of spicy.
"It's delicious! It's delicious! Qingming, since I ate your dish, I never thought that one dish could make me eat so much rice. This is so delicious! This is much more delicious than the whole chicken feast!" Liu Chang sighed.
Is the whole chicken feast delicious? Of course it's delicious. But the whole chicken feast is a meat dish, and if you eat too much of this meat dish, you will definitely get tired. On the contrary, vegetarian dishes do not. And the material is easy to digest. Don't look at the round belly that Liu Chang eats at the moment, after an hour or two, it will be digested. People will not be uncomfortable.
On the contrary, you have to eat too much meat and food, and it will be uncomfortable to toss that night. It is difficult for this stomach to digest so much meat quickly. And it's really going to be crooked.
"Vegetarian food is healthy!" Li Qingming said, "From the perspective of health preservation, it is good to eat less meat and eat more vegetarian!"
Wellness! This is a rather unfamiliar word. For the Federation, life is so difficult, so it is natural to enjoy it. Wellness, there is no such concept yet. After all, the environment is so harsh that it is almost impossible to go out. In this case, if you let them not enjoy it, it will be too embarrassing.
The nature of human beings is to be content with pleasure. It's human nature. No one can resist. The only way to resist is to find pleasure in work. Then you'll love it very much.
"Justice, you must have this sour and hot shredded potato every day in the future. I've never been so greedy. Even though I'm full at the moment, I still miss this sour and spicy taste!" Liu Chang said.
Li Qingming smiled. This is why the simpler the food, the more it is the culinary skills.
Dishes that are too complicated are delicious to eat, and I enjoy them when I eat them, but after eating, they will not be as memorable as dishes like sour and hot potato shreds. As long as I think of the word hot and sour, saliva keeps flowing out.
Imagine sour and spicy, it will make people greedy.
(Starting today, there will be a general cooling temperature across the country, and heavy snow will cover the sky.) I hope you can take good care of your health and pay attention to travel safety!)
