Chapter Eighty-Seven: Stir-fried Chinese cabbage

While Lin Miao was thinking, Shao Chao from Xiangguo Mansion came back with a little cabbage. His expression was slightly anxious and annoyed. Maybe he finally found that after carefully selecting for a long time, he still didn't find the one he was most satisfied with. He first glanced at Fan Erye and found that Fan Erye had already set up the pot and was ready to start frying. looked at Lin Miao again, and found that she was still standing in place with a frown, without any movement. Shao Chao relieved himself at this time, fortunately, he didn't fall behind too much progress.

Shao Chao hurriedly removed the roots and washed the cabbage and picked it cleanly. Next, crush the garlic, chop the dried chili peppers into small pieces, and mince the chives.

Fan Erye and Shao Chao were stir-frying on both sides, and it was impossible for Lin Miao not to be disturbed. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and meditated on a solution to the problem. The last part of the ingredients are: baby cabbage, salt, dried chilies, garlic, chives, and oil.

That's right! Lin Miao had a flash of inspiration, and an idea popped up in his heart.

She first put water in the pot, boiled the water and then stopped the fire. Next, cut the cabbage from the center into several teeth, so that on each tooth, there is both a cabbage sum and a leaf. Then, she pours the oil into the basin as if washing vegetables, letting the cut vegetables soak in cold oil for a while, and then carefully grease each leaf.

Finally, she washed the greased cabbage with warm boiled water. Only then did the pot be put back on the stove and ready to start stir-frying.

Stir-frying vegetables is the easiest, first heat the pan, and when the bottom of the pan is slightly yellow, add oil to the pan. When the green smoke is thickening, throw the patted garlic into the oil pan, stir-fry it twice, and the garlic fragrance will be stir-fried. Next, add the dried peppers. The baby cabbage should be put into the pot with the dried chilies, otherwise the red and bright dried chili peppers will turn into black paste.

As soon as you see the color of the dish from raw green to ripe, you must quickly remove the pot to isolate the open flame, and then add a little salt, sprinkle chives slightly, and put the dish out of the pot.

The three chefs finished this stir-fried cabbage dish almost at the same time. I saw three plates of steaming, verdant and green cabbage, placed in front of several judges.

"Wow! It smells so good. I didn't expect the cabbage to be fried so fragrant! Some audience members in the audience sniffed and couldn't help but swallow their saliva, compared with the fragrance of the cabbage, the dim sum placed in front of them made people lose their appetite at all.

Zhang Liankai is a leader in hot dishes, and his evaluation of hot dishes is the most authoritative. Therefore, after the dish was served, several judges did not move the chopsticks first, but set their eyes on Zhang Liankai. This is the same as the non-face-to-face evaluation in the previous link, everyone will give the right to speak to Liu Heyu, the pastry master.

Zhang Liankai was not humble, he first picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fried cabbage of Fan Erye. As soon as he took a bite into his throat, Zhang Liankai frowned. However, he didn't say anything. Then he stretched out his chopsticks to Shao Chao's dish in Xiangguofu. As soon as he took a bite into his throat, he still frowned. Then he picked up Lin Miao's vegetables. After the entrance, he couldn't help but sigh, and his brow furrowed even tighter.

Several judges looked at him, and Tang Jingliang first couldn't help but ask, "Imperial Chef Zhang, what's wrong?" Why are you frowning? ”

Zhang Liankai didn't answer, he stood up, walked over to the three chefs' stoves, picked up a spoon, and tasted the water in their respective buckets. Finally, his brows expanded, and he nodded again and again, but he praised Liu Wanfu, "Shopkeeper Liu is really high!" Such a test method can also be imagined, Zhang admires. ”

The words made Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper and the second monk puzzled.

Zhang Liankai pointed to the water in the bucket and explained to the judges, "The water used by the three chefs is mixed with soil, so this water has a faint earthy taste, although it is not too strict, but it is enough to affect the taste of this stir-fried cabbage." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, especially Liu Wanfu, the shopkeeper. He never thought that the water prepared by his Huixian Building would be tampered with.

There were enough mistakes in this final, and Liu Wanfu, the shopkeeper, hurriedly knelt down and asked the queen mother for the guilt "The grass people should die, they actually let people be in the water"

Before Shopkeeper Liu finished speaking, the Empress nodded with a smile, "Okay!" This idea is very good, and the mourning family is very satisfied. I won't blame you for asserting. ”

Well? What the? Liu Wanfu almost couldn't believe his ears, the queen mother was praising herself. Do you still admit this mistake?

Although he was still struggling in his heart, Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper stood up obediently. Forget it, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, it's better than being condemned and scolded.

Therefore, everyone thought that it was Liu Wanfu's shopkeeper's idea to deliberately put soil in the chefs' water to make the water taste earthy. Only Shan Xiao knew that the bucket of water was the water that he had washed his hands in the back kitchen of Huixian Building before. I am the culprit of the whole thing.

"So the dishes of the three chefs all have an earthy smell?" Tang Jingliang then asked, his expression couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If a chef only cares about the stir-fry itself, but does not have a keen insight to find the problems in the ingredients, it can only mean that the chef's craftsmanship is not proficient.

Zhang Liankai shook his head with a smile: "That's not the case!" ”

Tang Jingliang couldn't stand his appearance of selling guanzi, so he directly picked up the chopsticks and tasted the three dishes one by one. Immediately, he nodded, "Fan Er and Shao Chao's dishes all have an earthy smell, only the little cabbage fried by Miss Lin Miao does not." ”

The rest of the judges also tasted the dishes one after another, and it was indeed as Zhang Liankai and Tang Jingliang said, only Lin Miao's dishes did not have an earthy smell.

Fan Erye and Shao Chao both looked embarrassed, they didn't expect that they would lose in the hands of a little girl.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and asked Lin Miao, "Lin Miao, how did you do it?" All three of you use the same water. ”

Lin Miao bowed down and gave a salute, "If you go back to the Queen Mother, if you want this dish to have no earthy smell in the water, then you can't use this water to clean the ingredients." ”

"But I saw that you washed the ingredients!" Tang Jingliang asked.

Lin Miao nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, "I have indeed washed it, how dare I make it for the judges without cleaning the ingredients?" ”

"And what method did you use to clean it?"

"Before washing, I rubbed the cabbage with oil, so that the surface of the cabbage was covered with an oil film. Then, I wash the cabbage with warm water. Because oil and water are not miscible, the oil on the surface of the vegetable leaves will still adhere to its surface, forming an oil film, which blocks the contact between water and vegetable leaves, and the earthy smell of the water will naturally not affect the taste of the cabbage. At the same time, impurities in the leaves can also be washed away by water. The reason why warm water is used instead of cold water is because warm water has a better cleaning ability for impurities than cold water, which greatly shortens the contact time between vegetable leaves and water, and can better ensure that vegetables are not affected by the earthy smell of water. Lin Miao said eloquently.

After listening to her, the other two chefs were convinced, they didn't expect that Lin Miao had such a keen insight into ingredients at such a young age. Moreover, in such a short period of time, I can think of a way to deal with it, so that the problem of the smell of water can be solved.

There is no doubt that the winner of this food competition is: Lin Miao.

Fan Erye ranked second, and Shao Chao ranked third.

So far, this year's food competition has come to an end.
