Chapter 249: No More Regrets
Next, the two began to pat the slices of meat with a layer of cornstarch before they began to make the paste. The step of patting cornstarch is very important, if you use the meat slices directly to hang the batter, the fried meat will lose its crispy flavor.
Of course...... The most important thing is that the meat slices are put into the oil pan, and the moment it comes out of the pot, the control of the heat is the top priority of this dish!
Jiang Shaoyou opened his perspective eye and observed the details of the oil flowers in the oil pot, and he could accurately understand the oil temperature of Shishi, so he naturally knew when the best time to put the meat slices in the pot.
When we watch recipes or cooking shows on TV, we often mention putting the ingredients in the pot when the oil temperature reaches 6 or 7 degrees hot, and some people say that we put the ingredients in when the oil temperature reaches 170 or 180 degrees...... In fact, that's all, when I haven't seen anyone cooking, I have to take a thermometer and put it in the oil pan to measure it first, and then start cooking! Besides, the thermometers sold on the market generally cannot measure such a high temperature.
But if you don't use a thermometer, how can you know how many degrees the oil temperature is? Is it possible to put your fingers in the pot to feel the temperature? All right...... If you do, then you don't need to eat the pot meat, just eat your fried fingers!
In fact, there is no good way to master the oil temperature, only by the chef's own experience, and this experience can only be experienced by the chef himself over time. Therefore, generally a real chef is not too young, even if a chef who is too young has studied with a master who is too smart, but there are some things that you don't understand by yourself, but others can't teach them anyway.
However, Jiang Shaoyou is an outlier, his clairvoyant eye can observe many details that others can't observe with their eyes, and with these details, Jiang Shaoyou can accurately grasp the oil temperature and put the meat slices into the oil pot one by one at the best time.
Needless to say, Jiang Shaoyou relied on his strong perspective ability to fish out every piece of meat out of the oil pan at the most appropriate time, which can be said to be not a second, and every piece of meat was fried to the best state.
When Jiang Shaoyou's reaction speed did not increase before, if he wanted to master the heat, he had to slowly fry the meat slices one by one, so that although each meat slice was fried to perfection, because the interval between the long times out of the pot was too long, the impact on the final sauce was actually very great.
But now it's different, his reaction speed is dozens of times that of ordinary people, and he can put all the meat slices into the pot at the same time, and he can also monitor the heat reached by each meat slice without messing around, so ...... Strictly speaking, the pot-wrapped meat cooked by Jiang Shaoyou this time can be regarded as the most perfect dish he has cooked in his life.
When the juice is hooked and all the meat slices are taken out of the pot, the perfect heat has reached the ultimate effect, and the mellow fragrance contained in the meat slices is released without reservation, and the room is suddenly full of fragrance.
The effect is as if a room full of flowers are blooming at the same time, and the sudden beauty is intoxicating, and even produces an unreal, dreamlike feeling!
The Chu sisters, who had just rushed over and watched the two compete in cooking, were suddenly intoxicated by this shocking fragrance, and they even had the illusion of being in heaven for a moment, this strange fragrance not only stimulated their taste to the greatest extent, but also seemed to stimulate their tear ducts, unconsciously, they had an inexplicable urge to cry!
"It's ...... Truly perfect for the fire! Oh, my God...... It turns out that the perfect heat is really saved zΓ i......"
If the Chu sisters just had an urge to cry, then Liu Ruyun, who was in it, was already uncontrollable tears! She was so excited that even her plate of pots and buns that had just been served fell to the ground.
Crying bitterly over a dish seems a bit funny, but in reality, even the worst foodie should not fail to taste this kind of process.
But that's because they don't have Liu Ruyun's feelings, in fact, Liu Ruyun's cooking skills have already reached a bottleneck that is close to the extreme, no matter how much she studies, it is difficult to improve her level even a little bit. It is precisely because of this that she has a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold, and she will lose interest in continuing to study her beloved cooking skills.
However, Liu Ruyun is also well aware that her cooking skills have not reached the highest level of theory, because she has never cooked a legendary dish with perfect heat at one time. Of course...... If it is in the eyes of ordinary chefs, every dish of Liu Ruyun is a masterpiece of perfect heat, but Liu Ruyun himself knows that it is not! All she can achieve is a pseudo-perfect fire.
Or maybe she only controls the heat a little bit every time, maybe it's just a second earlier or half a second late.
However, even if it is only a fraction of a second, it is a pseudo-perfect heat, and it is definitely not a real perfect heat! If the pseudo-perfect heat can release 90 percent of the aroma in the dish, then the real perfect heat can release the 300 percent of the flavor in the dish...... Even if there is only a slight difference, it is the real separation between heaven and earth!
It is precisely because he has never reached this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, and he has never seen any chef reach this legendary realm, so Liu Ruyun began to wonder if this legendary true perfect fire was really alive! Maybe...... That's really just a legend!
But today, Liu Ruyun really saw it, it's like a most devout Buddhist finally seeing the legendary Buddha appear in front of him one day, and that kind of emotion can no longer be described in words! Although this legendary realm was not achieved by herself, being able to witness the birth of a miracle was also worthy of her heartfelt touching for Liu Ruyun!
It is precisely because of this that Liu Ruyun can't help crying!
Seeing Liu Ruyun's appearance of pear blossoms with rain really startled Jiang Shaoyou, and he thought...... Isn't this just a conversation between our sisters and brothers? What if you lose or win? As for losing to me, you cry like this!
Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyou hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Ruyun, who looked a little shaky, and comforted him: "Senior sister, you ...... What's wrong with you! Why are you crying? I...... Actually, senior sister, you don't have to be discouraged. My cooking skills are actually nothing, but this dish of pot-wrapped meat is not bad, if we change the dish to compete, I will probably lose to you! β
Where did Liu Ruyun cry because he lost to Jiang Shaoyou, and wanted to explain when he heard the words, but he was excited but couldn't speak, so he could only shake his head again and again, while wiping his tears again and again, trying to stop the tears, but somehow, the tears were wiped more and more.
Jiang Shaoyou was even more panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly whispered to him: "Senior sister, it's all my fault, I'll make you cry as soon as I come!" Alas...... I'm a bastard, I'm not human...... Senior sister, don't cry, okay! My cooking skills are really not as good as my senior sister, I am Cheng Biting Jin's three axes, except for a limited number of dishes, nothing else is as good as my senior sister, how can I be as proficient as my senior sister with such a mask! It's true...... Senior sister, don't cry, you cry again...... If I cry again, I'll cry too! β
Seeing Jiang Shaoyou's stupid look at a loss, Liu Ruyun finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, and tirelessly reached out to pull Jiang Shaoyou's ear and twisted it, saying, "Stinky junior brother, what are you talking about!" Senior sister seems to be such a stingy person, so can't afford to lose? Are you a senior sister or one of those young and vigorous little girls? I feel uncomfortable when I see someone who is better than me! β
Jiang Shaoyou thought to himself, you can't afford to lose, why are you crying so sadly? But he couldn't say this, so he had to pat himself and say, "That's natural, how can senior sister be such a stingy person!" Senior sister, you are the hero among the women and the dragon and phoenix among the people, how can you be stingy! I'll just say it...... Senior sister must have been spicy to the eyes by the onion just now, right? Fast...... Senior sister, wash it with water! β
"Nonsense!"
Liu Ruyun smiled and rubbed Jiang Shaoyou's face, and said, "What is the onion spicy to the eyes!" Senior sister really cried just now, but ...... Senior sister, this is happy, you know? Didn't my sister tell you before? Sister, I really hope that your cooking skills can surpass me. Because my current cooking skills have reached a bottleneck, no matter how hard I try, I can't improve a little more, but I know that my cooking skills are not really perfect, and I can do better, but ...... I just don't know how to do better, so I always feel very lost and helpless in my heart......"
"Legend has it that when a dish is really cooked to perfection, it will fully bring out the natural aroma of the food, and this aroma is really volatilized by the essence of the ingredients, and has nothing to do with the taste of any spices or condiments added to the cooking. The natural aroma of this ingredient is deeply trapped in the ingredient, and ordinary cooking methods simply cannot bring it out. And the so-called perfect heat is like the key to open this lock, once the heat is truly mastered to perfection, it can completely stimulate this inner essence of the fragrance...... I've never seen anyone do this before, I've never seen a real perfect fire, so ...... I have always felt deep regret for this in my heart, and even once wondered whether this legend in the kitchen world was true! β
"But today...... Senior sister saw it, it was you who fulfilled a wish in my sister's heart and solved the regret in my sister's heart, even if this perfect fire was not completed by my sister herself, but my sister was still very happy and excited! Senior sister is really grateful to you...... Thank you! β
Liu Ruyun said, actually picked up Jiang Shaoyou's cheek, gently kissed Jiang Shaoyou's forehead, and then opened his arms and gently hugged Jiang Shaoyou in his arms......
