Kung Pao chicken diced and mushu meat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, for most Chinese/Chinese people, these two dishes are just ordinary home cooking, but because Western Chinese restaurants mainly promote these two dishes in the takeaway list, they have become well-known, and even some foreigners who do not speak Chinese can also say the names of these two dishes in a straight voice, as if they have become synonymous with Chinese food.

Today, Lu Li finally showed off his skills.

Before that, Lu Li was just concentrating on making dinner, and the others talked so happily that they simply forgot about Lu Li who was busy. But now, the sweet and sour smell is permeating, the whole kitchen is full of smoke, and everyone's eyes can't help but project it one after another, and when they learn that Lu Li is cooking the famous Kung Pao Chicken, everyone exclaims.

"How can you make this dish?" said Robinson, his eyes wide, not hiding his surprise or surprise in the slightest, and he was almost about to exclaim.

In the eyes of foreigners, Chinese food is inherently mysterious and elusive, and the way Kung Pao Chicken and Mushu Pork are prepared is more like a secret recipe that can only be seen in Chinese restaurants. If you want to make it at home, it's an impossible task.

But now, they have seen the process with their own eyes, and it is like magic, and naturally it is difficult to suppress their surprise.

"Not surprising. It was Randy who spoke, babbling with great excitement, "Before this, Fourteen has already demonstrated his superb cooking skills many times, what kind of hand-grabbed mutton, what kind of earth-wrapped chicken......"

"And the whole fish feast!" Tony's thunderous roar provoked Jessica, Brandon and others to respond, and the voices of admiration were endless, and Robinson, Richard and others who watched it were dumbfounded, and they all showed suspicious looks-because Lu Li was really too young.

Whether in the East or the West, the standard of age is universal, and people's doubts about young people are always widespread. The same is true for the profession of chef, age also represents experience, but also represents experience and erudition, for young chefs, people are always inevitably critical and skeptical.

This suddenly made Tony and the others excited, and the foam began to explain, and the atmosphere of the conversation did not decrease but rose, but this time, the theme began to shift from wine, horses, and pastures to food, and the stomachs of a group of foodies couldn't help but start croaking.

However, Lu Li didn't have time to pay attention to these people, he had to speed up his movements.

Foreigners don't pay so much attention to eating, many dishes are cold dishes, but Chinese/Chinese people can't, we pay attention to eating a "hot" word, the whole table of dishes needs to be steaming, especially now that it has entered November, even if the fireplace is burned indoors, the temperature still has an impact.

Lu Li turned over the ingredients he had picked out before, a radish, three tomatoes, a few greens and a large piece of beef.

First cut the radish into shreds, which should have been cut into thin strips, but Lu Li's knife work was really not good, just finer than the strips, and the size was different, and the appearance was really bad; and then cut the beef pieces into granules, Lu Li wanted to chop the meat puree at first, and then wrap it in the gnocchi, or pinch it into small balls and throw it in, but in the end, because the process was too cumbersome, he still chose the simplest granular;

After completing the preparation process, start to heat the pan, add oil, first stir-fry the chopped green onions, then add the shredded ginger, stir-fry the shredded radish and beef cubes briefly, then add a large pot of water, and wait for it to boil.

In the meantime, start stirring the batter.

This is undoubtedly the most important part of gnocchi soup, the most perfect situation, naturally is to be able to knead the gnocchi out of strength, but will not become dough, elastic teeth but not powder, soft but not dough, chewing can also taste the wheat fragrance of flour, lips and teeth fragrant.

This was Lu Li's first time making it, and he didn't expect that he could reach Yuan Qingzhu's level, but he still meticulously followed the method taught by his grandmother and began to stir the batter.

In the bustling conversation next to him, Richard noticed Lu Li's movements, the action of stirring the batter, it looked like kneading the dough, but it didn't look like it, it was plausible, and the big pot of batter was like baby food, and it was the miserable one, and his expression suddenly became elusive, "Are you sure you're not making 'Looking Up at the Stars'?"

Such a joke made Lu Li laugh out loud, "If I can find the ingredients, I am willing to make a classic stargazing sky and pay tribute to British cuisine." But today should be missed. ”

To be honest, dark cuisine does sound terrifying, but everyone inevitably has a curiosity, and Lu Li is also a little curious about how terrifying it would be to make one by himself and look up at the stars.

Richard's face was also wrinkled into a bun, and he vividly interpreted his mood at the moment with his facial expression, and then laughed happily.

The laughter here made Mark and Raymond turn their heads as well, and Richard repeated the conversation just now, and then explained the allusion to "looking up at the starry sky", which caused everyone to laugh out loud.

Immediately afterwards, the footsteps of the others gradually shifted, standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at the pot of batter that Lu Li was stirring, and expressing their opinions one after another, Robinson and the others expressed deep concern, because the ingredients seemed to have been destroyed beyond recognition by Lu Li, but Tony and the others were full of confidence, firmly believing that Lu Li's strength could definitely turn decay into magic.

Gradually, it seemed that everyone gathered, and no one fell, as if this was the living room, and everyone was chattering about Lu Li's gnocchi, the noise attack was really annoying, Lu Li had no way to concentrate at all, and the speed of work would be reduced.

"If you want to talk, go to the living room or dining room, and don't get in the way of my cooking. Lu Li complained dissatisfiedly and began to drive people away.

Richard was still unwilling, looking at the big pot of batter in Lu Li's hand, and asked with an embarrassed expression, "Fourteen, what surprise are you going to give us today?" Even Tony, Randy and the others were full of curiosity.

"Rural food. Lu Li deliberately had a threatening expression, and seeing that the effect was not enough, he strengthened his tone and added, "It's the kind that feeds pigs." ”

This made everyone scatter in a swarm, and the expression of fear of avoiding it made Lu Xuan satisfied.

After a short time of talking, the water in the pot boiled and the batter was beaten, although he didn't know how strong it was, Lu Li had done his best, and he only hoped that it wouldn't become a pot of flour soup. If that's the case, then he's going to have to make a trick - "nail soup".

Putting his thoughts away for the time being, Lu Li began to pick up the gnocchi with chopsticks, put them into the pot piece by piece, and after a large pot of batter was put in, Lu Li couldn't help but be stunned - such a big pot of rice does look a bit like pig food, could it be that his production method is wrong?

But now there is no chance to regret it, and he can't do it all over again.

So, stir the hot pan with chopsticks to avoid sticking to the pan and avoid all the paste, and when it is almost cooked, throw the prepared tomatoes and greens into it, and the last step is to pour the pre-beaten egg liquid along the edge of the pot and wait for it to boil again.

While waiting, Lu Li beckoned Cole, Tony and the others and brought out all the dishes they had prepared before.

Even standing in the kitchen, you can hear the exclamations in the restaurant, the two dishes of Kung Pao Chicken and Mushu Pork alone are enough to calm the audience, not to mention that the potato roast beef is also their favorite daily food, but the way it is prepared is slightly different.

Lu Li could even hear Jessica enthusiastically explain the ins and outs of the dish "scrambled eggs with tomatoes", and she still has a soft spot for this dish and has never changed.

"Fourteen, are you sure you're full?" Cole looked at the pot of batter soup that was gradually boiling, the visual effect was really indescribable, and for the first time, there was a worried look in his eyes.

For the time being, he hasn't tasted the taste yet, and Lu Li is also a little hesitant, but he still patted Ke Er on the shoulder, "It's okay, I steamed potatoes and corn next to me, these can also be used as staple food, serve them out, let everyone share them themselves." ”

In the West, the dining table adopts a split food system, that is, the food is placed in a large basin, and each person takes some according to their own needs, puts it on the plate in front of them, and eats it separately, and then adds it when it is not enough.

Now, Lu Li is gradually getting used to this way, even if it is Chinese food, they also use a separate food system, instead of everyone stretching their chopsticks to the same dish.

Kele glanced at the pot of batter soup again, even if he was a little hesitant, even if he was a little skeptical, but remembering Lu Li's brilliant achievements in the past, he still chose to trust. Carrying steamed potatoes and corn, he walked towards the hall.

In a moment, the pot boiled again. Although this is Lu Li's first time making gnocchi soup, his movements are very skillful, turn off the low heat, drip sesame oil, add salt, stir, turn off the fire completely, and finally sprinkle a little fresh green onion, a pot of gnocchi soup is completed.

It's quick and easy, yet delicious, filling, and more importantly, steaming, and top-notch, making it perfect for a rainstorm.

It's just that I don't know what Lu Li's first attempt tasted like. At least from the visual effect, the turbid soup base and milky white soup can't see the contents clearly, only seeing a mass of large and small things floating and sinking, which looks really a bit terrifying.

Lu Li carried a large pot of gnocchi soup and walked quickly to the restaurant, "Guys, are you ready? Dinner can be enjoyed!"

Hearing the voice, everyone stepped out of the way, watching Lu Li put the basin on the table, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused, looking at the big pot of batter, they couldn't even tell what the material was, and they couldn't help but look at each other, even the confident Ke Er and others were no exception.

This...... What is it?
