Chapter 436: The Gourmand Knows the Result Before He Eats It
After lifting the lid of the lamb pot, you can find that the soup in the casserole is actually milky white, and the cloudy color is very textured, just like milk!
"You're lamb in milk!?" Zhang Jiahui saw this milky white soup, and couldn't help but ask Ye Chuidao, after his mutton pot was cooked, the soup showed a dark color, and the texture of the soup was by no means as thick as Ye Chui, and from the sensory point of view, it was by no means more pleasing to the eye than Ye Chui's mutton pot. Could it be that the leaf lobe is lamb boiled with milk?
"Nope." Ye Chui shook his head and denied Zhang Jiahui's speculation, "I am mutton boiled with clear water." ”
"And where did this milky white color come about?"
Almost everyone looked at Ye Chui curiously, and Zhang Jiahui continued to ask: "Did you use any special spices?" What is it? ”
"The seasonings I use, your mutton pot is also used, green onions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, etc., that's all." Ye Trai said with a smile.
"And what's this milky color?" Zhang Jiahui continued to ask.
"It's protein." Ye Trai said with a smile.
"Protein?"
"That's right, the protein contained in meat, after a long period of boiling, will break down into protein, forming this milky white texture." Ye Chui explained.
Huang Yiyuan's face was a little surprised after seeing Ye Chui's mutton pot, and he couldn't help but question: "Master Ye, you can admit it if you use other seasonings, Master Zhang's mutton pot has also been boiled for a long time, and the meat will decompose protein when it is boiled, these chefs we are present all know, but why Master Zhang's mutton pot does not show this color." ”
"There are five reasons why the Lin family's mutton pot does not show this color." Ye Chui said with a smile, "The defects of the Lin family's mutton pot are all because of these five reasons. ”
Five reasons?
A lot of people were surprised.
One of the dishes that has been famous for a long time and was developed by an eight-star chef as one of the eight representative dishes of Chinatown. There are five flaws?
This has to be surprising.
Huang Yiyuan's heart was sudden, but he still continued to ask: "Then I want to ask Master Ye what five defects there are in Master Zhang's dish, which did not make this dish form such a milky white texture!" ”
"Okay."
Ye Chui smiled, the five defects of the Lin family's mutton pot are actually the key secrets of the dish of mutton pot, these five defects are actually very simple, but they are summed up after countless years of development of Chinese cooking culture.
Everyone in the hall listened with bated breath.
"First of all, the first point is that the cooking time of this dish is too short, and Huaxia has a trick to say it very carefully. Boiling three and four stews means that the soup should be boiled for three hours, and the stewed vegetables should be stewed for four hours, the time is not enough, the texture of the mutton is not cooked enough, and the decomposed protein is naturally not enough. ”
"And then there's the second point, don't add cold water to the soup – that's the most important thing, if I'm not mistaken. When Chef Zhang was making this dish, he must have told people to keep standing by the casserole and keep adding cold water to it, right? When the meat is being heated, it shrinks when it is cold, and the protein will not dissolve easily. Adding cold water will reduce the protein content. ”
"But ......" Hearing Ye Chui say this, Zhang Jiahui immediately retorted, "If it's in the process of making soup." If you don't add cold water, the soup will soon dry and burn out. ”
"That's my third point." Ye Chui looked at Zhang Jiahui and continued, "The fire of making soup." If you let the soup boil, it will make the protein in the meat move violently and the soup will be cloudy, which will seriously affect the texture of the finished dish. ”
Zhang Jiahui was stunned, nodded, and said in a low voice: "I see......"
"Then the fourth point, this dish needs to be conditioned with condiments, but there should not be too many condiments, only a little condiments such as green onions, ginger, and ginger are enough, and condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar are also only a little bit, otherwise the color of the whole dish will be darkened and the soup will become a little sour." Ye Chui continued.
Rarely, or even at all, condiments are used to boil meat in plain water, which was the practice at the beginning of Chinese food culture, when chefs had no extra condiments to use, and could only make up for the lack of taste with exquisite cooking skills.
It was at that time that the culinary realm of the big soup discord was born.
It takes a long time to make soup, but it doesn't need too much seasoning, just to keep the food authentic, which is vaguely full of the truth of discord, in fact, the casserole of cooking vegetables is very similar to the ancient kitchenware "Ding".
Ye Chui had already said four points, and then he said the fifth point.
"The fifth and most important point...... When making soup, add salt last. Ye Chui continued, "Salt can be the coagulation of proteins in meat, and if salt is put too early, it will destroy the dissolution of proteins, making the soup dark and not concentrated enough. ”
"These are the five flaws of the lamb pot dish!"
The five main points of Ye Hang are finished.
Many people in the hall had a surprised expression, they didn't expect that there were so many truths in a dish, and the most surprising thing was that Ye Chui could still say these truths in such an orderly manner......
In fact, for Ye Chui, these are not difficult, there are five taboos in soup, and it is the five points that Ye Chui said, but unfortunately, Zhang Jiahui almost violated all these five points - so Ye Chui thought before, this Lin family mutton pot tastes not as good as the craftsmanship of any housewife in the previous life......
In the previous life, any housewife who knew how to cook would deliberately avoid these five defects when making soup, of course, this is also because those housewives should not be taught to do this when they learn to make soup, there is a ready-made empirical science, and in this world, although the cooking is flowed out, the most delicious food for cooking this cooking method is meat.
It has been nearly two years since the ban on meat was lifted, and the earlier experience has long been cut off, this mutton pot can be said to be created by Zhang Jiahui from scratch, and it is understandable that he will commit these taboos in this case.
And as Ye Chui finished explaining these points, the other people present all showed some expressions of admiration, Huang Yiyuan and Mrs. Gao had nothing to say, Zhang Jiahui was silent, but Lin Li showed a refreshing smile on his face - he spent a million to buy two recipes, if the eggplant pot made him feel a little lost, then this mutton pot is definitely worth the money.
He seemed to have seen that after getting Ye Chui's brand new recipe, the reputation of the Lin family pot would reach a higher level!
In comparison, the angry eyes of Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan are nothing at all......
Robert smiled heartily at this time, as if he felt very interesting about the development of things, and then continued: "Although it is somewhat unnecessary, since the five gourmets are here, why don't we continue to ask the five gourmets to taste and rate this mutton pot of Ye Chui." ”
He spoke English, and the five gourmets nodded their heads.
The first to speak was Michelle: "Since the lid of this dish was lifted, I have been intoxicated by the aroma of this dish, the strong aroma of mutton, to be honest, Master Zhang's dish has given me a new understanding of mutton, so I give this dish a five-point taste, and I am looking forward to tasting his taste." ”
"Well, I don't think I need to say anything more, five." Hannah continued.
"Five points." Chris shouted as he looked at Tony and Sid, "You two don't have any objections. ”
"That's right, five points." Tony nodded.
Sid agreed: "So do I. ”
"Well, I can't wait to try it." Chris is obviously an impatient, and he has already shown a picture of impatience - even if he is urgent, he feels that it is impossible to be so enthusiastic about other dishes, which can only show that Ye Hang's dishes are too much for him to look forward to.
He quickly picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of mutton on the small plate in front of him, carefully waited for the piece of meat to cool and then sent it into his mouth, exhaled with satisfaction, and then couldn't wait to take the soup spoon, bit a bowl of thick soup in the spoon, blew a few mouthfuls and sent it to his mouth, couldn't help but exclaim: "Delicious, so delicious, if I don't give full marks to this dish, I will never be a qualified gourmet!" ”
Michelle, Hannah, Tony, and Sid also tasted the lamb pot separately, and obviously didn't need to say anything more about the ratings - this is probably the first time since the International Gastronomy Association established a sound foodie system and cooking competition rules that others have been completely sure of what the outcome of the competition will be before the foodie has even tasted the food.
"The taste didn't disappoint me, five."
"I'm sorry I didn't have a higher score than five."
"If I had eaten this dish first, I might have given him a lower score when I had just tasted Master Zhang's dish."
"Five points, I don't have anything more to say."
Another perfect score.
Receiving such results and evaluations from the five gastronomic associations of high-class gourmets is not something that the average chef can achieve - even Gordon. Ramsey may not be able to achieve such results!
But Ye Zhuo did it.
"Then it seems that today's cooking competition is officially over here." Robert announced with a smile, "As the chairman of the gourmets of the Gourmet Association, I announce that Mr. Ye Chui has won a complete victory in this cooking competition!" ”
Complete victory.
This is only announced when a contestant gets a perfect score and wins.
It's like PERFECT in a fighting game, you get PERFECT by taking down the opponent with all your blood!
There was some noise in the hall, and at this time, a person walked into the Lin Family Pot Restaurant - it was the eight-star chef who hadn't shown up since the Spring Banquet, Jim! (To be continued......)
PS: The main points of the claypot, three pots, four stews and five taboos, but they are all really ha~~~~
