readx; Supplement to Volume 2, Chapter 21:

Originally, twenty chapters were going to be written about food, but due to the hurry, my mind was confused, so I had to make up this chapter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info don't be surprised, just listen to the second hammer slowly for you.

Chinese food culture has a long history and occupies a very important branch in Chinese civilization. Now China is mainly divided into eight major cuisines, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Hui cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Benbang cuisine, the remaining two can't remember, please don't suggest! The most successful in the Chinese world should be Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine! The streets and alleys are full of signboards of Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine.

When it comes to eating, everyone has a favorite, from the Manchu and Han banquets in the palace to the beggars' flower chickens. Numerous. I won't show it off one by one, the key is that I can't sell it either...

I'm not going to look it up today, but I'm going to talk about my understanding of food. A delicacy pays attention to the color, flavor and shape: the color is bright, respects the original color of the ingredients, and through the combination of seasonings and utensils, it makes people have an appetite at a glance. If something looks like it's black and burnt, you don't have an appetite! It's about seducing you by visually impressing you.

Incense: It smells good, saliva drips, and the image of the food entering begins to come to mind. It's the sense of smell that impresses you.

Taste: In the mouth, it tastes even better than you think, wow! The chopsticks couldn't stop at all, and they kept stuffing into their mouths, and Mo Ren said that if you are a ghost, you must also be a full ghost. It's the sense of taste.

Vessel: It is a vessel for serving vegetables, if it is well matched, it can play a role in icing on the cake, if a certain ingredient is what we usually eat, such as shredded potatoes. If one day it is placed in a very exquisite plate, served in front of you, you will definitely think that this shredded potatoes must be unusual, although you have eaten shredded potatoes many times, but he has changed a container, changed to a more gorgeous plate, your heart of its expectations will be greatly improved!

Type: It's the way the food is placed! In fact, some foods are not fresh, and they can be seen everywhere in our daily life, but chefs can put on a very delicate and vivid pattern and shape with a few toothpicks through a carving knife. Let's not bear to get down. For fear of accidentally destroying the beauty in front of you. Chefs often carve daiked radish, carrots, cucumbers, winter squash, and pumpkin... Sledgehammer major, I studied cooking in my hometown, I didn't... Basically, the knife worker who graduated from the chef school has become a model, and no matter what he cuts, he will do what he is taught in the school. Sledgehammer can carve simple carving, I have seen sledgehammer carved roses, when I used his carving knife to carve turnips, because of the excessive force, one of his carving knives was broken, let alone turnip roses!

I learned about food when I was working part-time. At that time, I went to some relatively large five-star restaurants, which had a lot of ingredients, there were more than 20 chefs, cut and matched, played lotus, and chopping boards, as well as steamers, and there were nearly 40 people in a kitchen and a class. I have eaten a lot of dishes in five-star restaurants, whether I eat them secretly or secretly make my own dishes. But there are few that really match my taste. Sometimes I feel that some dishes are not as good as my spicy soup.

Do you think a five-star dish must be fresh? Maybe! This is a must-have for a star-rated hotel. But fruit and sandwiches and certain ingredients that can be frozen, I can't guarantee them! Because some banquet hall banquets in five-star hotels are booked in advance, chefs will make some dishes into semi-finished products two to three days in advance. It would be nice to work on it a little more the next day. After all, they can't cook so many dishes at once, they can't be busy in a day. There are also cold dishes that we often order, I dare not say that they are ready two or three days in advance, a day in advance is a must. Don't talk about it, or you won't have an appetite.

I also learned a little bit about cooking during my time in the kitchen, and now I share it with you, and you will become a chef too.

I won't talk about chopping vegetables, because I'm left-handed, and I can't handle the knife work, so I'll say how to cook the vegetables! Let's give you a spicy chicken demonstration!

Ingredients: 300 grams of chicken pieces, 100 grams of chili peppers (dried chili peppers), salt, monosodium glutamate, oil, soy sauce, garlic cloves, shredded ginger, chives, and a few pieces.

Step 1: Heat the food oil, then fry the washed chili peppers in the oil (remember that the chili peppers must be wet, and you should prepare protective gear to prevent the oil from splashing on your body!). Step 2: Mix the chicken pieces with starch so that the chicken pieces are golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 3: Add the chopped green onion, shredded ginger and garlic cloves. Then add the chicken pieces and start stir-frying. Be careful not to let the food stick to the pan, as this will not only affect the color but also the taste.

Step 4: It takes five to eight minutes to stir-fry, depending on the heat. Put some light soy sauce in the meantime to make the chicken nuggets not look so white. The fried chicken nuggets are golden in color. When the chicken pieces are cooked, add a little salt to your taste. Serve on a plate and sprinkle with some cilantro and chives. OK Such a plate of chicken nuggets with golden and red peppers, as well as green coriander and white garlic cloves are placed in front of you, don't you have a big appetite, what are you waiting for, the chopsticks move!

Remember not to eat too salty food for health, try to use less seasonings, and respect the taste of the food itself. It's like being human, you can choose to learn and imitate, but if you want to live a happy life, it's better to be yourself!
