The day of the new students' enrollment is basically the most lively day in the inner courtyard except for a few major festivals, and the restaurants of each household have also ushered in a small peak period, but this wave only lasted for an afternoon, because most people have to start focusing on the training of new students.

After joining the cooking group, it means that you will be a member of the group in the future, and some necessary daily tasks and work must be carried out.

Sikong Yao followed Liu Ke back to the cyan Pegasus, and the hidden head of the regiment finally revealed the true face of Lushan, the name of the head of the cyan Pegasus is Dai Zangqing, he is a third-level veteran, and the ranking in cuisine is as high as the seventeenth, and he is also the first master, and the best cuisine is the taste of Southeast Asian style, and the first dish of this novice banquet tonight is the Thai lemongrass chicken prepared by him himself.

The food culture of Southeast Asia is heavily influenced by the West. Due to historical reasons, it has been influenced by the culture of France, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries for a long time, and on the other hand, due to the large number of Chinese living in China, it has been influenced by Chinese food culture, so it has formed a unique and charming Southeast Asian food culture that integrates Eastern and Western cultures and local customs.

However, Southeast Asian cuisine is mostly based on natural food, and on the one hand, it has also maintained its own unique food culture, using natural edible plants as raw materials, and cooking cuisines with excellent aroma and good taste. For example, Vietnamese cuisine is known as beauty and health dishes. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and other national dishes are mostly accompanied by rich local coconut, lemongrass, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and other spice plants as ingredients, making their dishes rich in color and flavor. The flavor is unique.

As the saying goes: no chicken is no feast. There are more than 100 kinds of chicken dishes cooked in various restaurants and hotels. Among them, the chicken curry of a "Southeast Asian restaurant" is quite famous. At present, there are no less than a dozen restaurants specializing in curry-flavored food, and there are not a few restaurants that serve all kinds of Nanyang food, and the influence of Southeast Asian food represented by curry on China's food industry can be seen.

Southeast Asian cuisine is also one of the famous departments of the St. E-De Lu Culinary Institute, and the fact that it can be taught as a separate department can also be seen that this flavor of cuisine is famous all over the world.

Dai Navy seemed to have just come out of the kitchen, and he hadn't changed into a chef's uniform yet, but he didn't shy away from it at all, and walked straight to the high platform. Smiling. Welcoming the new members who have just joined the Teal Pegasus: "Welcome to the Teal Pegasus, I am the head of the group, Dai Zangqing, and I ask for your care today." ”

There is no such thing as wearing navy blue. is an approachable big boy. Despite this relatively important occasion. He didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing a chef's uniform, on the contrary, it gave his regiment commander a sense of what's more. That is, in the inner courtyard, the cuisine is the most sacred, and no matter how beautiful the clothes are, they are not as handsome as a set of oil-stained chef's clothes.

This kind of picture is also deeply engraved in everyone's heart, and they all understand that the purpose of joining the cyan Pegasus is to learn cooking, and if you just have the mentality of coming to play, then this inner courtyard will be in vain.

There are millions of people studying cooking in this world, but those who stand out and join the St. Edro Culinary Academy are even more elite, and those who enter the inner courtyard are the elite of the elite, and in order to live up to this honor, we must study hard in the days to come.

Looking at the excitement on the faces of the people below, Dai Navy's heart was also very satisfied, it was enough to be able to instill such thoughts into these new members, and he could understand that when he joined the cyan Pegasus, when he stood at the bottom, that kind of inner turmoil and excitement would turn into an indelible incentive for himself in the future.

After briefly explaining the experience of the cyan Pegasus in previous years, and having already won the names in some competitions, Dai Tibetan did not waste time, for fear that the cooked food would be cold, so he started the highlight of this dinner, which was to eat.

All kinds of dazzling dishes were brought out of the kitchen, causing an uproar among the new members, those dishes flashed like handicrafts, just by looking at it, it seems that people can feel the fragrance, the feeling of constantly turning into the nose, is so strange and wonderful, that indescribable source of aroma, what is it?

Sikong Yao blinked slightly curiously, it is not unheard of delicious food, but in this unique aroma, it seems to be mixed with a lemon sourness, but it is more elegant than it, and it smells a refreshing feeling.

Liu Ke explained: "It's the leader's specialty, and the smell is lemongrass." ”

Thai Lemongrass Chicken will be a dish full of Southeast Asian flavors, and the key ingredient is lemongrass. First of all, the whole chicken is washed and cut into pieces, take the small onion and lemongrass respectively washed and sliced, take a little lemongrass leaves and put them into a stone mortar or food processor, mash the lemongrass, lemongrass is a kind of thatch spice that grows in the subtropics, lemongrass will exude a natural rich lemon fragrance, and the special effect of stomach ventilation and awakening the brain.

Pour the mashed lemongrass and lemongrass juice into the chicken pieces, add shredded ginger, pepper, a little light soy sauce, white sugar, stir well, heat the oil in the pan, when the oil is 6 hot, add lemongrass and small onions, and stir-fry over low heat to bring out the fragrance.

Add the marinated chicken nuggets, turn to high heat, stir-fry quickly, add oyster sauce and soy sauce after the chicken nuggets change color, stir-fry evenly, add an appropriate amount of water, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to medium-low heat and cook until the juice is collected, add a little salt, stir-fry evenly and then put on a plate.

The chicken itself, which is absorbed in the soup, has a unique aroma of lemongrass, and the saltiness in the oyster sauce and light soy sauce can replace the taste of the edible salt, making the deliciousness of the chicken itself more prominent, and the dish with a light lemon fragrance is very fresh and not greasy at all.

Sikong Yao tasted a piece of lemongrass chicken and was immediately attracted by the unique flavor of lemongrass, which is an indispensable and important element in Southeast Asian cuisine, and its personality is strong, because the smell is close to the fresh lemon aroma, lemongrass is also called lemongrass. The stems and roots of lemongrass are often chopped or ground in a variety of Southeast Asian dishes, served with garlic, chili peppers and coriander, and are the most common spices found in seafood soups and curries. Although dried lemongrass can be bought, it is much less aromatic and flavorful to use.

Although the same is to pay attention to the flavor of the ingredients themselves, but there is a big difference between Southeast Asian cuisine and Japanese cuisine, Japanese cuisine is mostly to taste the deliciousness of the food itself, while Southeast Asian cuisine is like to use a variety of spices to mobilize the taste of the food itself, in addition to the sweetness of the ingredients themselves, but also with a unique style of fragrance, the use of lemongrass is one of them.

When it comes to Southeast Asian cuisine, the most important thing is Thai food, and when it comes to Thailand, it is natural to make people sound the famous curry, which is a sauce made of a variety of spices, commonly found in Indian cuisine, Thai cuisine, etc., and is generally eaten with meat and rice.

Curry is a variety of variations and special flavors, most notably Indian and Thai, curry has become one of the mainstream dishes in the Asia-Pacific region, with a spicy and sweet flavor and a special aroma. Mainly used to cook beef and mutton, chicken, duck, crab, potato, cauliflower, soup, etc., curry is an important seasoning in many countries in Southeast Asia. There are many spices used in curry, the main one is turmeric as the main ingredient, and a variety of spices such as coriander seeds, cinnamon, chili, white pepper, cumin, star anise, cumin, etc.

The staple food that goes with curry changes depending on the crops that are abundant in the region. For example, in West India, bread made of maize and chestnuts is often used; The north is rich in wheat, and eats more bread; In the south or southeast, rice is the main food. The secret of Indian curry's success lies in the combination of spices and the order in which it is cooked, not in the intricacies of the cooking.

Until modern times, there were no specific curry recipes, because the essence of curry emphasizes personal style and creativity. There is no set recipe, but many Indian dishes have become world-class cuisines. Because there are no recipes, the curry tastes and looks significantly different even in the same area.

For example, coconut paste is added to Thai curries to reduce spiciness and enhance the aroma, and additional spices such as lemongrass, fish sauce and bay leaf are added to make Thai curries unique.

Red curry is a favorite curry used by Thai people, due to the addition of red curry sauce, the color is red, the taste is also spicy, the curry stir-fried crab made by using red curry is almost a top delicacy that people who travel to Thailand cannot miss, but Sikong Yao has such a good leader, naturally he does not need to go to Thailand in person, he can also taste this food.

The key to stir-fried crab curry is the curry sauce prepared with traditional secret recipes, combined with a variety of exotic spices and fragrant coconut water, the curry flavor and coconut flavor are equally fragrant, the taste is slightly spicy and sweet, and the soup completely penetrates into the crab meat, and the aftertaste is endless.

The carefully cooked crab meat melts in your mouth, and after eating, you will feel fragrant, and the essence of the meat is the juice blended with the red curry. The bright red color has a little golden curry powder, the aroma of coconut milk and egg liquid, plus the extremely red and spicy Thai Chaotian pepper, and the umami of the crab.
