Chapter 121: The Seven Grades of Tofu of the Manchu and Han Banquets
Twelve o'clock arrived in a blink of an eye, I don't know if it was because of the attraction of the aroma of beef noodles, the entire Haitian company staff were attracted to the cooking room, and they were very interested in the cooking competition between Ye Chui and Junle Xiang.
Qin Yue's mood at the moment was a little delicate, so he didn't make a sound to drive away these employees of his company.
He was the judge who judged whether the cooking was delicious or not, so he didn't know why Ye Trai knew that he was going to decide Wang Jianhua's affairs, but he was still confident to participate in this cooking competition, and now he finally understood that it was because Ye Trai had enough confidence in himself, confident that he could conquer him with the delicious food he cooked......
I have to say that Qin Yue felt that Ye Chui had the strength to be so confident.
The five dishes made by each of the two parties had been placed on the square table in front of him at this time, Wang Jianhua laughed lightly, and said to Qin Yue: "Boss Qin, please taste it." ā
The dishes made by Ye Chui seem to be of a very high level, but Wang Jianhua has already returned to calm, after all, he has already agreed with Qin Yue in advance, and he will win this game no matter how it is compared......
It's just that his smile disappeared quickly, and Qin Yue first chose to taste dessert.
Crispy apples with leaf lobes and sweet potato syrup with Junle fragrance.
And I don't know if it was because he was too greedy for Wang Shiyu's revenge before, Qin Yue couldn't wait to fork a piece of fragrant ā« with a fork, and wāww. crisp apples were sent into his mouth.
The crispy apples made by the leaf lobe are somewhat similar to the brushed apples, but the brushed apples need to use a lot of syrup, so that the surface of the apples is formed into a series of sugar whiskers for the sake of drawing, and the sweetness is also extremely dense, while the syrup of this crispy apple is only a thin layer on the surface, like a crystal cover, which makes this dish extremely good-looking, and at the same time, it does not lack the fragrance of apples.
When eaten in one bite, the taste is sweet and sour. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the flavor is unique, fragrant and crispy is undoubtedly the most charming part of this dish, while the sweet taste has taken a back seat and become a garnish, without the noisy and sour taste of the apple, but it is impressive.
Qin Yue ate a piece of crispy apple in a few bites, nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he really lived up to his expectations just now, and then subconsciously wanted to eat a second piece. At this time, Wang Jianhua coughed lightly, and he reacted, put down the knife and fork with some nostalgia, and went to taste the sweet potato syrup made by Wang Jianhua.
The sweet potato syrup method is also simple, the sweet potato is washed and boiled until it is cooked, and the brown sugar ginger slices are added to taste, after all, it is a dessert, and the method cannot be too complicated. It's important to be creative.
Qin Yue scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon and put it into his mouth.
Sweet.
Sweet and greasy.
This made Qin Yue couldn't help but frown, speaking of which, this sweet potato syrup is also very good, but commenting on the delicious taste, he doesn't know how much worse it is than the crispy apple of Ye Hang, and after eating a piece of crispy apple, he still wants to eat the second fastest. But after drinking one spoonful of this sweet potato syrup, he didn't want to drink the second spoonful......
So Qin Yue put down the soup spoon.
"Boss Qin, do you think which of these two desserts does better?" Wang Jianhua couldn't wait to ask.
Qin Yue showed a hint of hesitation, and then pointed to Ye Chui's side: "I'm sorry Boss Wang, I think Mr. Ye's crispy apple is better." ā
Wang Jianhua's face suddenly changed slightly.
Qin Yue hurriedly looked at Wang Jianhua: the level of the two dishes was too different. Even if he is partial, he can't go too far, after all, so many people in the company are watching...... However, he also asked Wang Jianhua to rest assured, isn't this a five-course dish? It's a best-of-five game. Wouldn't it be okay for him to let Wang Jianhua's other dishes win?
Ye Chui's side, Han Yuyan, Wang Shiyutian, Xiao Du and Xing Sen all showed happy expressions, this was the first game, but Ye Chui's expression was very calm, he smiled, and said to Qin Yue: "Boss Qin, please continue to taste other delicacies." ā
Qin Yue nodded, and the next thing he chose was a cold dish.
The cold dish made by Ye Chui is Mingzhu Tofu, and the cold dish made by Wang Jianhua is Jade Tofu, although they are all dishes made of tofu, but the difference between the two dishes is very large, Ye Chui's Pearl Tofu is a dish made of golden balls, dotted with green lettuce as a backdrop, and Jade Tofu is a whole piece of white and tender tofu, topped with emerald green and crystal sauce.
When Ye Chui made this pearl tofu before, he deliberately stood in front of the board to prevent others from seeing the method, after all, this dish is a confidential recipe Mingzhu tofu belongs to a classic cold dish in the Manchu and Han banquets.
The dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets can be divided into four levels, and this pearl tofu is a cold dish of the delicacy level, which is slightly inferior to the royal cold dish Hongzi chicken shredded cucumber that Ye Chui made for Han Lao at the beginning, but it is still a top delicacy.
There are various ways to make tofu in the Manchu and Han banquets, and the most delicious is the seven products of tofu.
The taste here is not a grade product, but a taste taste.
There are seven tofu dishes in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, which are Penglai tofu, almond tofu, Yipin tofu, fragrant sour tofu, Jintang white jade, cloud tofu and this pearl tofu.
At this moment, this pearl tofu is put together with the jade tofu made by Junlexiang's chef.
From the point of view of appearance, Mingzhu tofu seems to be slightly inferior to jade tofu, the jade tofu is crystal colored, it looks quite attractive at a glance, the two dishes are placed together, Wang Jianhua's face suddenly appeared a smile, and he feels that even if he hasn't said hello to Qin Yue, this second dish can win steadily.
Qin Yue picked up the bamboo chopsticks, first tasted this jade tofu, picked up a piece of white and tender tofu, and sent it to his mouth along with some crystal green sauce, and then showed a praising expression on his face: "Good!" This jade tofu is very good, the emerald green sauce seems to be made from vegetable juice, and spices such as sesame paste are added, the flavor is fresh, and the taste is very extraordinary when eaten with a bite of tofu! ā
Hearing Qin Yue's evaluation, Wang Jianhua nodded with a smile, then looked at Ye Chui's pearl tofu again, and said with a smile: "Boss Qin, please taste Mr. Ye's pearl tofu next." ā
At this time, Han Yuyan became nervous and asked Ye Chui in a low voice: "Master, is our tofu okay?" It doesn't look like any of the jade tofu is delicious. ā
"Don't worry, no problem." Ye Trai said to Han Yuyan with a smile, his face full of confidence.
Qin Yue had already sandwiched a piece of fried golden tofu balls with bamboo chopsticks, looked at it a few times, and put it in his mouth.
This ball does look a little bland, put this ball in his mouth, Qin Yue then wanted to symbolically say a few polite words, judging that Wang Jianhua's dish was won, however, the tofu ball took a bite from the mouth, Wang Jianhua's face froze, he was stunned, and then picked up a piece of tofu ball and put it in his mouth, chewed and ate it, his expression was still that puzzled, after thinking for a while, he put another one in his mouth.
Wang Jianhua was originally full of confidence, but when he saw Qin Yue's reaction, he immediately felt a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Boss Qin, what's wrong with you?" ā
Qin Yue stopped his chopsticks and looked at Ye Chui strangely: "What do you use to make this dish?" ā
"Tofu." Ye Trai said with a smile.
"But...... Why doesn't it taste like tofu? Qin Yue said with a puzzled expression, "There is an indescribable fragrance, but I'm sure it's definitely not the taste of tofu!" ā
"That's tofu." Ye Chui's reaction to Qin Yue was not surprising, "It's just that after my seasoning, tofu is more like a carrier in this dish, and what this dish focuses on is the aroma produced by the fusion of concentrated spices." ā
The method of Mingzhu tofu seems simple, but there is a hidden mystery, grinding the southern tofu into bean paste, pouring egg white into the bean paste to make the bean paste have a certain stickiness, and then Ye Chui uses several spices to boil the soup into it.
Although the soup made of spices has a strong flavor, the taste is definitely not good, but after fusing with tofu, it can allow the tofu to absorb the fragrance perfectly, knead it into balls, and then fry it, and then the wonderful texture of the tofu at high temperature is completely changed by the spice soup.
Originally, Qin Yue was not optimistic about this dish, but at this time, he felt a huge gap, and compared with Wang Jianhua's jade tofu, he didn't know how much he had won.
Mingzhu tofu can be ranked as one of the seven products of Manchu and Han Quanxi tofu, which naturally has its advantages.
"Boss Qin, do you think the two dishes are better?" Ye Chui asked with a chuckle at this time.
"This ......" Wang Jianhua originally made up his mind to pay attention to this time to judge Wang Jianhua's side to win, but now he couldn't speak, and after a while, he finally made up his mind, "These two cold dishes are still Mr. Ye, your pearl tofu is more delicious!" ā
Wang Jianhua's face immediately became very unpleasant, and he looked: Qin Yue, what does this mean?
Qin Yue hurriedly glanced at him again: Ye Chui can't every dish be so delicious, right? The difference between the first two dishes is too great, so he can't help but sentence Ye Chui's side to win, but this is a total of five dishes, three wins in five games, and the next three games will be given to Wang Jianhua......
said so, but Wan Jianhua then looked at the remaining three dishes of Ye Chui, but his eyes were involuntarily full of anticipation, he was already a little desperate to taste it!
On Ye Chui's side, Han Yuyan, Tian Xiaodu and Xing Sen were naturally full of joy, and at the same time, they understood why Ye Chui knew that Wang Jianhua and Qin Yue were colluding, but he was still full of ambition in front of the absolute delicacy, that is, Wang Jianhua was embarrassed to even cheat!
