Chapter 224: Look at the green smoke above his head
Su Miao's stove put two cauldrons, one cauldron on the vigorous stove fire, one cauldron was poured into the chicken bone broth waiting to boil, after the broth boiled, skim off the foam and filter it several times, and then quickly put in the cut brassica and blanch it, and immediately take it out.
The main function of blanching vegetables is to make the color of the vegetables more gorgeous, if the vegetables that have not been blanched are fried directly in the pot, it is easy to destroy the chlorophyll in the vegetables to make the color dull and lose their luster, and put them in the chicken soup to blanch, which is not only to keep the original green color and crisp taste of the vegetables, but also to make the vegetables cook faster, reduce the cooking time after that, and remove the earthy smell of the vegetables themselves, and also bring the umami of the chicken soup to the freshness of the vegetables.
The double-ear cauldron on the side was already burning with white smoke, Su Miao put her palm on the top of the cauldron to test the temperature, burned the fire in the stove to the maximum, poured the refined chicken fat into the pot, poured the drained brassica into the cauldron, and quickly stir-fried. The most important thing in stir-frying vegetables is the heat and stir-frying technique, she lifted a large pot lightly, and used the temperature of the outer flame of the flame to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot over high heat, stir-frying while stir-frying the big wok.
She looks like she has thin arms and legs, and she is extremely powerful when stir-frying, and in the process of stir-frying, she sends the pot upward, and the greens in the pot jump up in the air, turning over two happily, and then falling back and falling steadily in the wok.
She played a dazzling hand, and when all the vegetables fell into the wok, the audience under the stage couldn't help but cheer.
Bring the juice to a boil over high heat, and pour the boiled soup over the sautéed brassica. Finally, sprinkle with a little chopped dried shrimp.
From the appearance, there is really nothing special about fried vegetables, except that the color is tender and green. With a light and seductive sheen, the bright colors look more pleasing because of the delicate presentation, but there is really nothing worth paying attention to. Most people don't particularly like vegetarian dishes, and ordinary fried vegetables can be exquisite, which may be possible in theory, but in fact, no matter how good the fried vegetables are, there are no exquisite meat dishes that look delicious and tempting.
Although the rules of this competition are set by the judges. But this is also in accordance with the meaning of the organizers of Liangdu, the judges in Qin'an Province are mostly male, and they are not interested in vegetarian dishes. Especially after eating Zhou Chengshui's soft fried brassica, they found that even if this kind of green vegetables were made by the chef, the effect was no different from the taste made by their own mother-in-law, so after Su Miao's fried brassica was served. Even if you think it looks quite pleasing on the outside. Still can't get too excited.
Until a breeze swept over the steaming dishes, rolling up a wisp of light smoke and leisurely entering everyone's noses.
Xian, a wisp of freshness, this freshness is not heavy, nor is it particularly prominent, and even if it is not for this wind, it is difficult for people to perceive this tempting, deep but clear deliciousness. But this touch of deliciousness does exist, and it inadvertently reaches people's senses. But it has left an unforgettable and profound imprint.
Almost at the same time, they were inspired, and the judges picked up their chopsticks, reached for the green vegetables on the plate, put them in their mouths and took a bite.
Crispy, crispy, but not the kind where a bite will overflow the vegetable juice from the rhizome part. The taste is crisp and tender, but it has a luscious and mellow aroma of fresh broth. Just now they sat in the audience and only saw Su Miao put chicken bones in the soup when boiling bone broth, but this taste is not just chicken bones can be boiled, thinking of the process of boiling chicken soup, Su Miao once took out a small bamboo tube and poured a little in the chicken soup, and later when stir-frying, whether it was chicken fat or the sauce poured at the end, the small bamboo tube was also used, Xia Chang didn't even taste two bites, and couldn't help but ask Su Miao who was standing on the stage and looking down with a smile:
"What was in that little bamboo tube just now was hanging soup?"
"It's Tang Yin." Su Miao replied with a smile.
"Tang Yin?" Xia Chang repeated the sentence suspiciously, after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand, let go of his pride as a champion, couldn't help but be curious, and humbly asked, "What is 'Tang Yin'?" ”
"Medicine has a drug introduction, guiding other drugs to the lesion and playing the role of 'guidance'. The soup naturally also has a soup guide, which guides the umami of the soup to the green vegetables, and the fusion stimulates new flavors, playing the role of 'a little freshness'. Su Miao explained with a smile on her face.
Xia Chang thought about it for a long time, and finally understood what she meant, Tang Yin can be said to be an innovation in the food industry, a new concept, a mysterious secret recipe, he put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the back of the chair, smiled happily, stroked his beard, looked at Su Miao and nodded.
The other judges also nodded while eating, stir-fried brassica, but the fragrance was mellow, the soup was thick, not greasy, fresh and elegant.
The taste is fresh, the color is emerald green, not light or thin, luscious and fragrant, it is obviously just a very ordinary home-cooked dish, after Su Miao's hands are made, but it gives people a feeling that it is not like a delicacy but is better than a delicacy.
Stir-fried brassica belongs to the fresh taste, its characteristics are from the selection of materials to the whole process of the dish are highlighted a "fresh" word, soup fresh, fresh taste, fresh color, fresh vegetables, because the taste is not easy to find the characteristics of the dish is absolutely superior.
Wu Zhizhou even ate a few chopsticks, wiped his mouth slowly with a handkerchief, he didn't like to eat green vegetables, and today he couldn't help but be impressed by this crisp and fresh green vegetables, sighed and praised:
"I didn't expect this fried brassica sprout to be able to stir up this taste, if the fried brassica can be fried so fresh, we don't have to eat those big fish and meat in the future, those things are too tired to panic, let's eat this fried brassica, crisp and delicious, no matter how much you eat, you won't get tired."
A few people next to him laughed in unison.
With a smile on his face, the etiquette officer asked the judges to score it.
Although as a national food competition, stir-fried vegetarian dishes are not very attractive to the judges, the deliciousness of the fried brassica made by Su Miao really amazed the judges.
This round of elimination was a simple one for the judges, as the dishes were exactly the same for both groups. As long as the two are compared from the four aspects of color, flavor and shape, the superiority is superior. In particular, Zhou Cheng is not good at cooking home-cooked food, and there has never been such a thing as dry fried vegetables in his specialty dishes. He had despised this kind of blandness since before, and all he studied was the large banquet noodles with complex workmanship, and the topic of stir-fried brassica was very bad for him, not to mention that he had failed to complicate simple dishes, and it was natural to lose points.
In the first game, Zhou Cheng lost by fifteen points!
Zhou Cheng couldn't believe it. An unbelievable face that looks comical because it's too stiff.
He looked at Su Miao with an extremely complicated look, he couldn't believe that Su Miao actually won him. In terms of identity, Su Miao is actually his junior sister. Because Su Dong once had the intention of making Su Miao the heir of Pinxian Building, and had the intention to take Su Miao with him to teach him hand in hand, Su Miao didn't know, but Zhou Cheng knew very well. Su Dong meant to use Su Miao as a secret disciple. Because of this. His heart is unbalanced, as a big disciple, he didn't get Su Dong's secret inheritance, a straw bag that can't even cut vegetables can have such an opportunity, and that straw bag not only doesn't cherish it, but also says a lot of disrespectful and willful words, and even dislikes the dirty kitchen. She actually said that the kitchen, which was the place where they struggled, was the dirtiest, and that he wanted to avoid her when he saw her from afar, and from then on he became even more bored with this strange and headstrong woman whom he had to marry.
And yet now. The woman he hated the most, the woman he despised the most, had won him over in the cooking skills he was so proud of. He couldn't believe it, and he felt more and more angry because he couldn't believe it. He even felt that Su Miao must have bought off those judges, otherwise why would the tongues of those judges be broken one by one, he glanced at the judges angrily, but saw that those judges were still discussing with each other with great interest because of the fried brassica just now.
His face darkened, he looked at Su Miao, and stared straight at her with a vicious eyes as sharp as a sword.
"You look very angry." Su Miao said with a smile, squinting with a smile.
Aftertaste tilted his head and looked at her speechlessly.
Su Miao looked over, bent a pair of big apricot eyes, and said to him with a smile:
"Come, Xiao Weiwei, let's show our affection, and then watch the green smoke above his head, it must be fun."
The aftertaste was dumb, and he looked at her directly for a while, the corners of his eyebrows twitched fiercely, and he was quite unhappy in his words:
"Even if he's your former fiancé, you don't have to use me to make him angry."
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled frankly and said: "I don't, I just want to see him angry, the more angry he is, the happier my mood is, and when I see his black face, I have a feeling that I am about to float up after eating the elixir." ”
After looking at her for a long time, the corners of his eyebrows twitched even more, and he asked more and more unpleasantly:
"You hate him so much?"
"No, I just like to see him grit his teeth at me, and occasionally I want to have a little fun." Su Miao flattened her mouth and said without feeling that there was anything wrong, "It's so strange Xiaoweiwei, why are you still saying such things now, I thought you knew me very well." I don't hold a grudge against someone, how troublesome it is, I'm most afraid of trouble, if there is a real need for me to hold a grudge against someone, I will let him ascend to heaven before then. She blinked at him with a pair of large, innocent and innocent eyes, and said to him with a smile.
Aftertaste was stared at by her like this, and the hairs on his whole body seemed to have the urge to stand up collectively, and he looked at her straight for a while, a little toothache.
"Xiao Weiwei, let's show our affection." Su Miao blinked a pair of big eyes and said with a smile.
The aftertaste stopped for a while, and then stretched out her hand without being stunned, rubbing it twice on her head like a cat's hair, and Su Miao squinted her eyes comfortably like a little cat.
Opposite, when Zhou Cheng behind the stove saw this scene, green smoke really rose above his head.
It's not that he likes Su Miao so much, but that the ex who was abandoned by him when he was most unhappy actually showed affection to Xiao Baiyan in front of him, this ex who was abandoned by him was still the culprit who trampled him under his feet and made him unhappy, how could he not smoke!
Under the stage, Tong Ran, who was sitting upright in the VIP seat, saw Su Miao's big eyes squint like a cat because of the aftertaste, the hand holding the handle of the fan gradually tightened, and after a while, it was released again, and the folding fan was unfolded as if no one was around, shaking it gently.
Changsheng saw these small movements of his, shook his head with a smile, turned his head, and continued to look at the smiling little face on the stage.
The auspicious gong sounded again, and the second game began.
Once again, the eyes of the crowd were focused on the hand of the ceremonial officer, who, under heavy pressure, smiled wryly, reached into the wooden box, and took out a paper slip.
The second game, which is also the second game of the first game of the fourth round of elimination, turned out to be the topic of the game - shredded bamboo shoots and pork.
It is also a home-cooked dish that has no special features, Qin'an has many bamboo shoots, and the dish of shredded bamboo shoots and shredded meat is almost made in every household in Qin'an Province.
The audience was in an uproar again, everyone was speculating about the organizer's intentions, and many eyes were on the judges, staring at the judges one by one. People think that the rules of this competition are set by the judges, but in fact, they also listen to the above, and the matter of comparing home-cooked food really has nothing to do with them.
Zhou Cheng's face is green, his weakness is vegetarian dishes, but he has been vegetarian for two consecutive games. Don't tell him that shredded meat is actually a meat dish, even his wife, who is stupider than his feet, can make this dish, he came to participate in the chef competition, and the organizer actually asked him to make bamboo shoots and shredded meat, he was very angry.
Su Miao was happy when she saw him angry, and kept looking at the wisps of green smoke coming out of the top of his head, smiling.
Looking at her gloating mischievous appearance, he sighed speechlessly in his heart, no wonder his father would say that in this world, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and women are really terrible creatures.
For Su Miao, shredded bamboo shoots and shredded meat are quite good, this is a dish she likes to eat very much, and she also has a lot of experience in this dish.
First of all, this is not an ordinary home-cooked dish, but a dish with a certain degree of difficulty, whether it is bamboo shoots or shredded meat, it must be finely chopped. First cut the green onion into small pieces of one centimeter for later use, remove the thicker part of the bamboo shoots, cut off the tail of the bamboo shoots for later use, and remove the part that is not good on the skin surface, and then slice it against the grain, and then cut it into shreds, the thickness of the bamboo shoots must be about the same as the thickness of the shredded meat.
When marinating the meat, add two spoonfuls of broth, pour in a little soy sauce to color, add a little starch to grasp well, and then add a little clear vegetable oil to the meat.
The cured meat is also particular, it must be grasped by hand, and in the process of grasping, we must strive to make each piece of meat shredded with a thin starch coating, so that the fried shredded meat will be smooth and refreshing, with elasticity. (To be continued......)
