Chapter 416: Western Food
Zhang Hai had studied in a chef school before, and later worked at the Yahuang Hotel, and he was obviously much more exposed to Western food than Yu Kangning, and he was much more experienced. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Especially the last time Fu Yonghan participated in the international food competition in the imperial capital, he learned a lot of Western food with Pu Yuan and Lian Zhiwen, and Zhang Hai and Yu Kangning followed them and learned a lot of skills.
Fu Yonghan has already asked Tiffany for the guest list, and seven of the relatives and friends who came to the dinner today are from the groom's side, and the food is naturally Chinese. The other three tables were all relatives and friends of the bride who had come from France, and the food was Western.
Originally, Fu Yonghan was very confident that she would use all Chinese food at the dinner, and she also believed that her Chinese food would definitely satisfy those Westerners.
However, she came to be the chef this time because she was invited by Tiffany, and in the arrangement of the dinner, she naturally had to listen to Tiffany's intentions.
Although it is a little troublesome to cook both Chinese and Western food, the workload is not much larger. Western food, in particular, is much easier to make than Chinese food, and it can save a lot of things.
In the Chinese part of this dinner, Fu Yonghan prepared most of the flowing water banquets held by Yongji Restaurant before.
The dishes of the flowing water table are very suitable for wedding banquets, and the staff of Yongji Restaurant are very familiar with the flowing water seats, and now they are also very easy to make. Even if you don't have Fu Yonghan staring, there will basically be no problems.
In the Western cuisine, steak is the main food, plus pasta, baked rice, and then served with borscht for each person.
There are not many types, but the portion is not light, and it is guaranteed to fill people's stomachs.
Needless to say, the steak is somewhat similar to the grilled lamb chops made by Fu Yonghan at the international food competition. Although it is still a Western food method, it has been processed by Chinese food technology, and the taste is completely different from ordinary Western-style steak, and it has its own aroma that can conquer everyone in an instant.
It's a dish that can win the championship of an international food competition, and no one won't like it.
Pasta is also referred to as spaghetti, and the spaghetti used in the dinner party is made by Fu Yonghan himself, and the noodles are spiral-shaped, thick and long, which is very different from the common noodle varieties in China.
To make this dish, in addition to the spaghetti itself, which is more important, the rest is the sauce of fried noodles.
Westerners like to eat sauce, no matter what the dish is, they like to spread some sauce and eat it together. Sometimes there is even more sauce in a dish than the main dish itself, so you can't tell if you're eating the dish or the sauce.
In fact, Westerners do have the habit of eating sauce alone. It's just that the sauce they eat is completely different from the domestic sauce.
This time to make pasta, Fu Yonghan asked Zhang Hai to make the sauce a tomato-based red sauce.
There are two main types of sauce used to stir-fry spaghetti, one is the red sauce made by Fu Yonghan, and the other is the white sauce based on flour, milk and cream.
These two sauces are also the most used in Western cuisine.
As for other vanilla sauces, pesto sauces, dark sauces, etc., although many people use them, they are relatively niche in comparison.
Zhang Hai is staring at the pasta and Fu Yonghan is instructing everyone to make baked rice.
Baked rice is rice baked in a special oven. Such rice can have vegetables, fruits, and meat. As long as you want, you can make any kind of baked rice.
Not only that, but the baked rice is often topped with some cheese to make it even more delicious.
Aside from the various ingredients mixed in baked rice, cheese is actually one of the most important ingredients in baked rice. It completely determines how many points a baked rice can score, and there is no room for error.
There are two kinds of baked rice that Fu Yonghan asked people to make today, one is pineapple ham baked rice, and the other is seafood baked rice.
These two kinds of baked rice are also considered to be the more common and famous and classic baked rice.
The pineapple itself has a sweet and sour taste, mixed with the sweet cheese juice, which makes the whole baked rice even more tempting. Seafood is already very popular with Westerners, and it is even more delicious when used to make baked rice.
The final borscht is also extraordinary.
Borscht, a vegetable soup originating from Ukraine, is especially beets-based, and is very popular in Europe.
Many Western restaurants in China will give borscht for free, and it is often in short supply.
Borscht is more of a dish than a soup.
The main reason is that the soup is very thick, and there are a lot of various vegetables in it, and sometimes some meat is even added to it to cook together. Scoop a bowl of soup and bring it out, most of which is the ingredients in the soup, but the thick soup only accounts for a small part of it.
Most of the vegetables in the soup have already been cooked, making the whole soup more viscous. Stir it in the bowl with a spoon and then lift it, and you can clearly see the thick soup hanging on the spoon with a long thread, which feels like a vegetable puree.
There are not many types of Western food, and the process is very simple to make, so it doesn't take much time. Not to mention Chinese food, most of the dishes on the flowing water banquet are prepared by Fu Yonghan after lunch and fought on the steamer, at the beginning of the dinner, everyone basically only needs to remove the layers of steamer and serve, at most a few side dishes, which takes less time than Western food, and even spends most of the time on the matter of serving.
The whole dinner was held, and the guests who stayed were very satisfied.
"Lao Lang has a good dinner! I don't know which master chef you invited to be the chef? I don't think I've tasted it before! ”
"I don't know much about that. However, I heard that the wedding luncheon was made by the old man, but the chef of the dinner was invited by the bride. ”
"It can't be! Such authentic Chinese food, even we may not be able to do so well, what can those French people understand? ”
"Oh, I said, what are you anxious about? If you really want to know, just ask Lao Lang directly, will he still hide it from us? ”
"That's right......"
There is a lot of discussion on the Chinese side of the restaurant, and people in the Western restaurant are also talking about it in private.
"This steak is so well done! I used to think that steak was best when it was fried, but now I realize that the grilled steak tastes so good! ”
"I didn't expect Huaguo to have a master of Western food, why haven't I heard of it before?"
"No, I can't help it, I want to meet the chef who makes this pineapple baked rice! The taste is so good, I can eat it for at least a month without getting tired of it! ”
"Tiffany's here, let's go to her and ask who the chef of this dinner is......"
Under the curiosity of the guests, Fu Yonghan was invited out by Tiffany and Lang Caizhe to greet everyone. (To be continued.) )
