After the duck meat is smoked, it will be stewed again, which is one of the characteristics of Wuwei plate duck, that is, it is smoked first and then marinated.

The ingredients of braised duck are also particularly important, it is a secret recipe, but Ye Chui relies on his own food god level tasting ability, the ingredients to get a thorough understanding, the seasoning used in braised duck includes star anise, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, grass fruit, cumin, anise, Sichuan bone incense, bay leaves and so on.

After these delicious seasonings are boiled, the aromas in the seasonings will merge together and react with the duck meat to create the unique rich flavor of Wuwei Ban Duck.

In the process of duck smoking and roasting, Ye Chui began to prepare the seasonings, the kitchen was newly renovated, and there was no shortage of kitchenware, but all kinds of condiments had not yet been opened, but fortunately, when Dong Qian went to purchase duck meat just now, she also bought some condiments that could be used by the way.

The role of condiments, especially the various spices consumed in the Chinese tradition, plays a very important role in cooking.

A qualified chef should have a complete understanding of all kinds of spices, and have a complete understanding of the role that each spice can play, but this is not easy to do, after all, there are hundreds of kinds of spices in Chinese cuisine, and ordinary chefs, even the most basic spices, such as star anise and Sichuan pepper, have no way to fully control the taste, let alone fully understand the various characteristics of these hundreds of spices.

Even Dong Qian, his understanding of spices is not thorough enough, and the choice of spices in this smoked duck dish she made is quite arbitrary, without considering the specific role of this fragrance at all.

At this moment, Ye Chui found a small cloth bag for braised meat and began to put spices in the cloth bag.

The proportions and composition of this spice are the secret recipe.

The secret recipes that Ye Chui knows can be described as innumerable, and the spice ratios required for many cuisines are completely different. However, Ye Chui can completely memorize these complicated recipes, such as the beef noodles made by Ye Chui at the beginning, there are more than 20 kinds of condiments, but Ye Chui can still make the recipe in every detail.

Of course, Ye Chui was able to memorize so many secret recipes. In fact, it is not a great memory, but a memory of taste, and an extreme understanding of various spices.

He only needs to write down the aroma of the food, and then use the aroma to reverse the ratio of spices when he starts cooking!

Like now.

"Wow, Ye Chui you're not. Are you so precise about choosing a spice? Is this necessary? Dong Youyou saw that Du Ye Chui was sending all kinds of spices into the cloth bag in a certain proportion very seriously and accurately, and immediately couldn't help but say.

"Of course it is necessary, although the taste of spices is insignificant in the whole dish, but the role of each of them in the world is crucial, a little more and a little less. All of them may cause a change in taste. Ye Chui said to Dong Youyou very seriously, and then handed the glass bottle containing peppercorns to Dong Youyou's hand, "Youyou, help me get dozens of peppercorns out...... No, it's still a dozen or fourteen, fourteen is more appropriate. ”

Dong Youyou: "......"

Seeing Dong Youyou start counting peppercorns with a depressed face, Dong Qian stood aside and thought about it, in fact, for the choice of spices. Any chef of a good level has already formed a certain feeling, and by putting in various spices, it can be said that he has a detailed understanding of spices. She is obviously much worse than Ye Chui, in fact, Ye Chui's way of using spices also comes from feelings, but his feelings are far more powerful than Dong Qian.

Dong Qian's use of spices is to find a certain taste, while Ye Shui is to create a taste.

The spices were quickly slowed down in the cloth bag, and the leaves were about to be put into the pot. Fill half a pot of water and wait for the water to start boiling. At this time, the smoked duck next to it was also fully cooked, and the process of smoked duck was completely completed. At this moment, the whole duck meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a layer of black on the surface, and the leaf pat the surface of the duck meat gently, and the skin of the duck meat gradually falls off, revealing the tender red body inside.

――That's why the leaves are smoked and then molted to keep the meat tender.

Duck meat is different from chicken, it is much larger, and in order to make the duck meat cooked thoroughly, the skin of the duck meat is bound to be charred and black, and if you molt first and then smoke, it will inevitably make the meat much worse.

Ye Chui carefully twisted the steaming duck meat, put it in the boiling brine, and began to marinate the duck meat.

Marinade is a unique cooking method in China, which refers to the food after initial processing is put into the marinade and gradually heated over a fire, so that the flavor of the marinade can be incorporated into the food.

In the pot, the spices prepared by the leaf hangers are placed in a cloth bag, and after being processed with hot water, the strong fragrance is exuded, and the water in the pot also turns completely red.

This red color was deliberately caused by Ye Lobe, who added perilla and other spices to the spices in the cloth bag, and the main function of these spices is to dye the food.

The general Wuwei duck is dyed by eating nitrate, but Ye Chui feels that nitrate is harmful to the human body, so he looks for other methods.

At this moment, after the duck meat is put into the pot, Ye Chui uses a bamboo sieve to press the duck meat, so that the duck meat is completely immersed in the brine, covers the pot, and simmers slowly over low heat.

When Ye Chui smoked roast duck meat on the charcoal fire before, the taste was also very attractive, but the tempting was no different from the smoked duck that Dong Qian made before, but at this time, the brine prepared by Ye Chui was boiled for ten minutes, and the taste of the spices reacted with the duck meat, and the fragrance stimulated was indescribably attractive and delicious.

Dong Youyou immediately exclaimed: "No, it's just that after boiling in the pot for ten minutes, why has the taste changed so much?" ”

"That's why all kinds of spices, right?" Dong Qian seemed to understand something and said, "Just now, Ye Chui carefully selected every flavor, which made the taste of duck meat change so much, and every spice is essential for this taste." ”

"The peppercorns are all accurate to the grain, not so godly, right?" Dong Youyou said with an amazed face.

Dong Qian's expression moved slightly, and she looked at Ye Tuo, what kind of understanding of spices must be in order for him to use peppercorns accurately to the ......

At this moment, Dong Qian's admiration for Ye Chui has turned into a kind of awe, is this young man a god?

In fact, the reason why Ye Chui was able to get the title of God of Food in his last life was because of his ability to be a god who was extremely proficient in all aspects of cooking, so much so that people felt speechless......

After simmering on low heat for 10 minutes, the brine became smaller and continued to simmer for about half an hour.

By now, the duck meat can already be out of the pot, carefully put the boiled duck meat on the board, just look at the duck meat all over the body sauce yellow, the whole body is oily, the aroma is overflowing, the appetite is opened, Ye Chui took a plate, cut the whole duck meat with a knife, cut it into strips and put it on the plate.

This is the end of this Wuwei plate duck.

Dong Youyou couldn't wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and taste it carefully, and then the expression on her face changed: "It's really delicious......

After saying this, she hurriedly shut up again, and glanced at Dong Qian with some embarrassment, what she said was too delicious, obviously comparing it with Dong Qian's smoked duck, and she couldn't help but say this.

Dong Qian smiled, didn't care, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite to taste in her mouth, then nodded and said: "This dish is somewhat similar to the dish I developed, but the taste is much better than my smoked duck...... That's what this dish is supposed to do. ”

"That's right, you also saw the steps just now, and you can follow this step in the future." Ye Trai said with a smile.

Dong Qian was stunned: "This is already your recipe, I can't continue to make this dish." ”

"Hehe, anyway, this dish is sold together with sugarcane crispy duck, so let's think it's a collaboration between the two of us." Ye Trai said with a smile, this dish is used to sell for money, which is good for Ye Trai, of course he will not deliberately refuse this kind of good thing.

"Alright then......"

Dong Qian nodded, and suddenly she was very glad that she chose to join Ye Chui's restaurant, she didn't value money, but the ultimate pursuit of cooking skills was what she cared about the most, following Ye Chui, her cooking skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

"It's getting dark, you two just got off the plane and came to the hotel, you must not have eaten yet, right?" Ye Chui smiled and picked up the plate of Wuwei duck, "This dish can just be used as dinner, let's go, go outside the kitchen." ”

Dong Qian, Dong Youyou, and then followed Ye Chui to the hall outside.

The smoked duck made by Dong Qian before was given to Pan Qingguo and other waiters to eat, and several waiters had a delicious dinner with rice, but as soon as they finished dinner, they saw Ye Chui walking out with Wuwei duck, and the eyes of several people were immediately attracted.

Although Ye Chui's Wuwei duck is very similar to the smoked duck made by Dong Qian, the attraction seems to be better than Dong Qian......

Working in a restaurant, they are naturally accustomed to seeing all kinds of food, and they should have a certain resistance to food, but Pan Qingguo and others found that after Ye Chui came to the hotel, their appetite was still hung up again and again......

At the dining table, Ye Chui and Dong Youyou Dong Qian were about to have dinner, but Han Yuyan's voice suddenly came into the hotel.

During this time, Han Yuyan has been following Han Lao, but almost every day she will come to the hotel to have a look, most of the time to see how the hotel decoration is done, and sometimes to bring back some of the delicacies made by Ye Chui for Han Lao.

But what is the important thing that she came to find Ye Zhuo today?

"Master, Master! I brought something good, and my grandfather told me that I would give it to you personally......" (To be continued)
