Chapter 192: Are You Really Cooking Cabbage Boiled in Water?
Boiled cabbage is also called boiling cabbage, this dish sounds very simple, plain, it is difficult for people to produce what kind of delicious feeling, and even this dish is made in the most authentic way, from the appearance, it is just a simple combination of water and cabbage heart, it really does not look like a delicacy. △
But in fact, there is a lot of life in this dish, just the water in which the cabbage is boiled is not simple, the essence of the whole dish is integrated into that simple bowl of water, and this bowl of water must be crystal clear, so as to better reflect the purity and beauty of this dish.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that after the boiled cabbage is made, it is just a few cabbage hearts floating in the clear water, but in fact, this dish is a meat dish according to the most authentic method, because the clear soup used in boiled cabbage is to use chicken, duck and other meat ingredients to boil before it can be cooked, and it is also for this reason that this dish has disappeared after the vegetarian exercise, but Ye Chui has a deep study of food, and has already been able to "variety" all kinds of recipes. It can already be a vegan dish.
With a focus on vegetarian ingredients, this wonderful dish can also be fully revealed.
At this time, hearing Ye Chui mention boiled cabbage, everyone in the Lin family's villa showed strange expressions, boiled cabbage, this name and Sun Li's arhat menu felt a great difference from the senses alone, Luohan cuisine was full of extraordinary momentum just by listening to the name, but boiled cabbage ...... The first time you hear the name of this dish, I'm afraid no one will think that it will be delicious.
The Lin family's Lafayette showed a slightly disappointed expression on his face: "What kind of dish is this boiled cabbage you are talking about?" I haven't heard of this dish, is it delicious? ”
"To put it simply, it is boiling water to boil cabbage, and there is nothing difficult to make it, as for whether it is delicious or not, it depends on how you judge grandma." Ye Chui said with a smile, the beauty of boiled cabbage is not something that can be described in words, this dish is not only mellow in taste. The most important part is also the wonderful gap between the simple appearance and the complex taste, which is addictive.
"Cabbage has a history of more than 5,000 years in our Chinese people, and eating cabbage is also a tradition of Chinese people, but we can't deny that the taste of this ingredient is not particularly outstanding." Sun Li only heard the name of Ye Chui's dish, and directly showed a contemptuous look, the surprise caused by hearing Ye Chui know so much about Luohan cuisine has completely disappeared, "I don't know what kind of delicacy Master Ye can make with your boiled cabbage?" ”
"You'll find out soon." Ye Trai said with a flat smile.
After Zhang Ying heard the name of Ye Chui's dish, she also subconsciously felt a sense of contempt, and she said with a smile: "I am also looking forward to Master Ye's boiled cabbage." But now can we start the game first? ”
Wu Haimei walked into the kitchen with three chefs, Ye Chui and Sun Li: "The kitchen is very large, and there are two stoves, you can cook in the kitchen at the same time." ”
After saying this, she also winked at Ye Chui, which was an encouragement to Ye Chui, she naturally stood beside Ye Chui and hoped that Ye Chui could win the other party, Lin Wei even ran directly to Ye Chui's side, and asked Ye Chui in a low voice: "Ye Chui, can I help you?" ”
"Okay." It is rare for Lin Wei to have this heart, Ye Chui took out the three cabbages in the bag and handed them to Lin Wei. "You can help me peel off all the cabbage leaves layer by layer, only the cabbage heart inside is left, and nothing else is needed."
"Peeling cabbage?" Lin Wei was stunned, although she rarely went to the kitchen. But after eating too much, she naturally knows that when you eat cabbage, you don't need to peel off layer by layer, you can directly cut it into shreds and eat it, she doesn't understand. "Ye hang, why should the cabbage be peeled, can't you cut it directly?"
"I asked you to peel it because I need the cabbage sum inside the cabbage." Ye Trai explained with a smile. "The cabbage in the boiled cabbage does not refer to the whole cabbage, but to the cabbage heart in the cabbage, which is the most tender and fresh part of the whole cabbage, and it is very easy to absorb the deliciousness of the soup, which is the essence of the whole dish."
"Oh, I see." Lin Wei didn't know if she understood, and when she heard Ye Chui say this, she began to carefully peel off the leaves on the outside of the cabbage layer by layer, and the peeled leaves were also discarded.
Ye Chui here is to start cooking a variety of seasoning seasonings, green onions, ginger, garlic, peas, fungus, mushrooms, etc., this blending method is Ye Chui himself developed, the recipe is naturally a secret recipe, so he is very careful when mixing ingredients to avoid letting others see.
In the same kitchen, several chefs in the health pavilion on the other side were also busy, Sun Li himself was just the boss, not cooking, he stood on one side as a supervisor, his eyes were not looking at Ye Chui here, of course, he didn't pay attention to what Ye Chui was doing, the focus was on Lin Wei: "Peel off the cabbage leaves, only the cabbage inside is left?" What a waste, what boiled cabbage, just listening to the name has no appetite, how can it be compared to my Luohan dish? ”
Thinking of this, he no longer paid attention to Ye Chui, but concentrated on supervising his own chef.
Lin Wei quickly peeled the cabbage sum of three cabbages, and she asked Ye Chui: "What are you going to do next?" ”
"It's simple." Ye Trai smiled, took out a small box from his pocket, and when he opened the box, there were several fine needles inside-this is the silver needle for acupuncture that Ye Trai specially bought from a pharmacy in the morning, Ye Trai took one out of the box and handed it to Lin Wei, "You use this steel needle to carefully prick the cabbage heart." ”
"Ah, tie the cabbage heart?" Lin Wei felt even more strange, the process of making this dish was really interesting, but she knew that Ye Chui must have her own reasons, so she did not hesitate to take the steel needle, began to carefully insert the cabbage heart, and asked at the same time, "Ye Chui, why did you let me do this?" ”
"The reason for filling the cabbage heart with tiny holes is to make the soup more flavorful." Ye Chui explained simply, he had prepared all kinds of ingredients here, I saw him set up a pot, poured in an appropriate amount of water, and then sent the seasonings that had just been matched into the pot in turn, and with the rise of the domestic water temperature, a rich fragrance soon spread out.
This flavor combines the fresh aroma of shiitake mushrooms, the strong aroma of various condiments, and the fragrance of onion and garlic.
Of course, these flavors are not as good as those made by Sun Li on the other side of the kitchen: the arhat dishes made here in the health pavilion are a veritable big dish. This dish requires at least three chefs to work together to complete.
This dish contains more than a dozen ingredients, and each ingredient must be fried and fried first, and then put into the pot for stewing, the production process is complicated, and the aroma of fried food is constantly diffused, and the taste completely overshadows the fragrance of the dishes on Ye Tuo's side.
Of course, the aroma of the dish exudes during the production process does not determine the finished product, and the most important thing about a successful dish is the taste in the color and aroma. Taste is taste, and when cooking, you must not only bring out the aroma, but also introvert the aroma into the taste of the food, which is the success.
Lin Wei carefully pierced the three cabbage hearts with holes, she wiped the sweat on her face, and a sense of pride arose in her heart, she could also help Ye Chui cook, although this was a bit strange...... She sniffed hard and turned her head to look strangely at the chef on the other side. said to Ye Chui: "Ye Chui, their dishes taste so fragrant, is our boiled cabbage okay?" ”
"Their aroma lies in the variety of ingredients, and the essence of food is to cook a variety of flavors. And they have so many ingredients, and each ingredient has a different taste after being fried, so easy to make so many flavors melt into one pot? ”
Ye Chui turned his head and glanced at Sun Li's side. whispered to Lin Wei and said: "They just have an empty appearance, in fact, I think they haven't figured out the essence of cooking, and the most taboo thing about this kind of chowder dish is that all kinds of flavors are disorderly." This will only spoil the dish, it smells very tempting, but it doesn't taste great. ”
"Oh."
Lin Wei nodded as if she didn't understand, looking at Ye Chui's bright eyes, what she liked most was Ye Chui's confident and seemingly omniscient appearance of cooking-that kind of appearance is simply infinite for the attraction of foodies......
The kitchen is busy, and the eyes of Galeries Lafayette in the living room outside seem to be completely attracted by the direction of the kitchen.
That health expert Zhang Ying naturally had to say something good about Sun Li at this time: "Sun Li's health pavilion is the best vegetarian restaurant in the entire Xizhou, and even in Yan Kyoto, many people come all the way to Xizhou, just to patronize Sun Li's health pavilion." ”
"yes, that's amazing." Galeries Lafayette let out an exclamation.
Wu Haimei is Ye Chui's firm ally, and when she heard Zhang Ying say this, she immediately sat on the other side of Lafayette and praised Ye Chui unto be outdone: "Mom, you don't know that Ye Chui's cooking skills are not ordinary, even Old Man Han praised him very much, and he even left his granddaughter by Ye Chui's side as an apprentice." ”
"Old Han?" Hearing this name, Lafayette is obviously a little uncomfortable - Lafayette is over sixty years old this year, but Han Lao, a ninety-seven-year-old old man, is still a child, plus the Lin family and the Han family have never been harmonious, Lafayette naturally has no good sense of Han Lao, everyone else shouts Lafayette when they see her, but Han Lao likes to call her nickname, which makes her often feel very angry, at this moment she can't help but snort on her face, "It turns out that this Ye Chui is so close to that old guy!" ”
Wu Haimei shouted in her heart that it was not good, didn't it make Lafayette feel worse about Ye Chui, she was also witty at this time, so she hurriedly added: "The last time Han Lao came to Xizhou, he ate Ye Chui's meal, but because it was so delicious, he ate it directly, and he has been recuperating in the hospital for more than a month before recovering." ”
"What?" It was the first time Lafayette heard this, she was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help laughing, "And this thing, that old guy will be so ugly, it's a pity that I wasn't here at the time, Ye Chui did a very good job......"
Although the old lady gives people a feeling that it is difficult to get along with, in fact, as long as you find the right way, it is still easy to please her.
Lin Zhengdao, who was sitting on the other side of the living room, was obviously not in the mood to participate in this kind of controversy, his face was calm, but there was some hidden brilliance in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking......
Inside the kitchen.
The soup in the leaf hanging pot has been boiled.
The soup that has just been completed is mixed with blue-gray, which is the effect of various seasonings, I saw Ye Chui pour the soup into a large bowl, and use a colander to fish out the seasonings inside, at this time the soup is still turbid, Ye Chui took a big bowl again, put a layer of filter paper on the bowl, and poured the soup into the filter paper with a spoonful of soup spoon carefully, so that the fine impurities in the soup continue to be filtered, and the process was repeated three times.
At this time, the soup has become very clear - this process is called hanging soup, is the most important part of this boiled cabbage, the clear soup made is crystal clear, and then Ye Chui gently sent the three cabbage hearts that Lin Wei tied into the clear soup, and slowly pressed the cabbage heart with chopsticks, so that the clear soup fully flowed into the cabbage heart.
The texture of this cabbage heart is tender and can be eaten raw, and the soup flows into the cabbage through the small hole pierced by Lin Wei, which fully absorbs the flavor, so that the cabbage heart not only preserves the freshness and tenderness of the cabbage, but also does not lose the allocation of various flavors, and the dish is finished at this time!
Boiled cabbage belongs to Sichuan cuisine, originated from the imperial dining room of the Qing Palace, ranked in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet in the royal flavor level dishes, is a high-grade clear soup dish, look at this dish that looks very simple, only to see that the soup is mellow and elegant, clear to the bottom, and the color of the cabbage heart is tender and green, the form is perfect, people have a clear and cheerful feeling, elegant and fragrant, and the fresh fragrance is abnormal.
Lin Wei no longer has any doubts about this dish, only full of amazement is left on her little face, and there is an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, this dish also has her share of credit.
And almost just now, the chefs in the health pavilion on the other side of the kitchen also finished that Luohan dish.
Luohan cuisine is a collection of eighteen kinds of ingredients chowder in one bowl, it is a kind of assorted vegetarian dishes, and suddenly it looks full of visual impact, in stark contrast to the boiled cabbage on Ye Chui's side, Sun Li glanced at the soup bowl that Lin Wei carefully held in his hand, looked at the tender yellow cabbage heart inside, and was slightly stunned: "The dish you make is really boiled cabbage?" ”
"That's right, that's why it's called boiled cabbage." Ye Chui smiled faintly.
Sun Li: "......"
In fact, when he heard the name boiled cabbage, although he didn't think it was delicious, he still felt that there would be another mystery in it, after all, Ye Chui also had a lot of origins, but when he really saw the finished product on Ye Chui's side, he felt that his worries were really too much, what is the mystery of this dish, it is clearly boiling water to soak cabbage, this simple thing dares to compare with his own assorted Arhat dishes?
It's not an order of magnitude at all, okay! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
