This "duck meat" gives Marcus a different feeling.

It doesn't have the feeling of being fatty, but the taste is outstanding, the rich flavor is not much worse than that of duck, and the outside of the "duck" has the same crispy texture.

"This isn't really duck, is it?" asked Marcus.

Catherine also picked up a piece of hooves and put it in a small bowl, "Although there is no meat in it, the taste and texture are exceptional." Que, what are these?"

"The one you eat is called Suzaho, and the one Mr. Marcus eats is called vegetarian roast duck, and as for the method, I'm not good at Cantonese food, so what I said may not be accurate. Zheng Ke should know these ingredients better than me. Que Zhengqing said indifferently.

Everyone's eyes immediately moved to Zheng Ke's body, and they only then remembered that Zheng Ke was also a master of Cantonese cuisine.

Zheng Kezheng lowered his head, peeled off the "duck meat" with chopsticks, and carefully observed the materials inside.

"Zheng Ke, what do you think of this dish, and why is this 'vegetarian roast duck' in your hand so delicious?" asked Marcus.

"Oh, you mean this?" Zheng Ke was slightly stunned, pointed to the vegetarian roast duck in the small bowl, and looked up at Marcus.

"Hmm. Marcus nodded.

"Just like Que Zhengqing said, its name is vegetarian roast duck. As you can see, this kind of food is actually cooked with tofu skin as the main ingredient. Roughly speaking, the tofu skin is covered with a damp cloth to soften, and then coated with a sauce mixed with salt, soy sauce, sake, pepper, five-spice powder, etc., and layered with the tofu skin. Then fold it up, and finally put it on the stove fire to soak and fry it, and it is made into vegetarian roast duck. ”

When everyone heard Zheng Ke's explanation, they didn't seem to understand, after all, they simply relied on the narration, and they never saw it with their own eyes, and it came clearly.

But Zheng Ke didn't want to cook it, so he put the vegetarian roast duck in the bowl into his mouth and nodded again and again, "It's worthy of an old shop, and the cooking technique is very authentic." ”

"This vegetarian hoof should also use a lot of tofu, and the taste is also very good. Catherine pointed to the Suza hoof in the small bowl and looked at Zheng Ke.

"That's right, this kind of food actually uses only two kinds of soy ingredients, one is bamboo and the other is tofu skin. Chop the same amount of tofu skin and bamboo, add various seasonings, wrap them in a cloth bag, and steam. It's easy to say, but Suzaho is also a test of firework. Zheng Ke explained.

Catherine suddenly realized, "What looks like an ordinary platter has so many Taos. ”

"Of course, take shiitake mushrooms as an example, how do you feel when you eat them in your mouth?" asked Zheng Ke.

"Shiitake mushrooms?" Catherine picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms, and ate it into her mouth, the rich aroma echoed in her mouth, it was still so delicious. But in addition to these flavors, the texture of this shiitake mushroom is also unusually crispy.

"You mean the noodle coat?" Catherine tasted and knew the difference between shiitake mushrooms.

"That's right, on top of the shiitake mushrooms, a kind of cantonese cuisine unique to the dough is added, called crispy pulp. Zheng Ke also picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms and put it in his mouth.

"Crispy pulp?" Que Zhengqing rubbed his forehead, "I said, why is the taste so crispy? ”

If it weren't for the deliberate use, Que Zhengqing wouldn't have thought of crispy pulp, and when he heard Zheng Ke mention it, he suddenly realized.

Catherine nodded as if she didn't understand, although she didn't quite understand what crispy pulp was, but the taste of shiitake mushrooms must be related to this kind of coating.

"Crispy batter is the batter used to fry ingredients. There are two kinds of common crispy pulp, one is called baking flour crispy batter, this kind of batter is freshly made, and the method is relatively simple, mixing flour, salt, dry starch with water, cooking oil and other ingredients, and the other is more complicated, because of the addition of leaven, therefore, it needs to be allowed to ferment for four hours, but the taste is better and the texture is more crispy. Obviously, the crispy pulp used in this dish is the latter. ”

Hearing Zheng Ke's explanation, the people present were silent.

You know, this dish is just a platter, and so many ingredients are used.

"But in that case, the dish is too complicated, isn't it?" Catherine rubbed her chin.

"This is the characteristic of Cantonese cuisine, not only does it require fine workmanship, but it also takes a lot of energy to cook a dish, so the price of Cantonese cuisine is more expensive than other dishes. This time, it is not easy for everyone to try this level of Cantonese cuisine, which is much better than those Cantonese restaurants abroad. Zheng Ke said truthfully.

Among the eight major cuisines of China, Sichuan cuisine is the most famous, and there are more Sichuan restaurants in China than Cantonese cuisine, but in foreign countries, Chinese restaurants are dominated by Cantonese cuisine. Both of these aspects are related to the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine.

Que Zhengqing found the chopsticks and picked up the napkin to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth.

"Aren't you eating?" Xingping saw Que Zhengqing holding the teacup and asked softly.

"I don't eat it. Que Zhengqing shook his head slightly.

"This dish is delicious, isn't it?" Ainier looked at Que Zhengqing puzzled with the vegetarian roast duck stuffed in her mouth.

"Is the first course of Western food the best? No matter how delicious the mixed vegetarian platter is, it's just an appetizer. Don't forget, you're not here to eat these things. Que Zhengqing chuckled.

The others were stunned for a moment, then remembered the purpose of the trip, and immediately put down the chopsticks in their hands.

"If it's in order, the next dish should be Liu Haolin's dish, right?" Zheng Ke asked.

Que Zhengqing nodded, "That's right." ”

"What's going on?" Catherine gently tugged at Zheng Ke's clothes.

"Western food has a relatively complete order of serving, usually the first course is an appetizer, followed by soup, if there is a side dish, then the third course is a side dish, otherwise, it will go directly to the main course. After that, there are desserts and fruits or black tea. Although Chinese cuisine is not as strict as Western food, it also has a certain order of serving.

"First of all, we served a clear tea, followed by cold dishes. But it's winter, so this platter is served with heat. The third dish is stir-frying, and this dish is also the most chef's skill. And, if it's a formal occasion, the main course from the hot dish should be served first. To sum up, Liu Haolin's dish has a high probability of being the next one. Zheng Ke explained.

"Eh, why didn't you say it earlier?" Aniel's eyes widened, and she touched her stomach, the hunger in her stomach was gone.

Zheng Ke rubbed his forehead and barely laughed.

Some people have a treat and will serve a snack on the first course. Hungry customers will not have the energy to eat the main meal after eating a stomach full of dim sum, and the price of the banquet will be lowered.

Catherine secretly rejoiced. She doesn't know much about Huaxia cuisine, so she cares more about Zheng Ke's actions. Seeing that Zheng Ke was eating a piece of vegetarian roast duck, he put down his chopsticks, and he had an extra heart, and he didn't let go of eating. Now that I think about it, my decision was really wise.

When the people present heard Zheng Ke's explanation, their expressions were different, thinking about whether there was still "space" in their stomachs. At this moment, the door was slowly opened, and a person pushed the dining cart and walked in.
