Chapter 113: Egg Fried Rice

Egg fried rice, in modern times, is just the most common and simplest food, which is served in small restaurants all over the street, and a lot of it is made at home on weekdays. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Great Song Dynasty, rice is not something that ordinary people can eat three times a day with an open stomach, even if the price of rice is not expensive, ordinary people still uphold the concept of frugality.

In addition, the higher-priced eggs, which are fried in expensive oilseeds, are even more reluctant if they are not for the rich family.

Legend has it that egg fried rice originated from a dish called "broken golden rice" loved by Yang Su, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, according to the bamboo slips unearthed in the Mawangdui Han tomb in later generations, as early as the nobles of the Han Dynasty had a popular method of mixing rice and eggs to fry and eat, but the name is a little strange, called "egg fire high".

Egg fried rice looks simple to make, just mix rice and eggs and stir-fry it, add some chopped green onions, in fact, everyone in the kitchen knows that the doorway in egg fried rice is far from as simple as it seems to the layman.

Chef Xue is confident in his cooking skills, and this egg fried rice can be regarded as his famous skill. After he graduated a few years ago, he came to Kaifeng Mansion alone, and it was by virtue of this skill of egg fried rice that he was unanimously recognized by his peers.

Usually, egg fried rice is also his favorite food, so the ingredients for making egg fried rice are always prepared in the imperial kitchen.

It didn't take much time, and a row of little eunuchs prepared the two sets of kitchen things, and Chef Xue and Juntaro Inu glanced at each other, with disdain in their eyes.

Jia Wangye Zhao Hao once again presided over, because it was a temporary competition, and there were not many rules, as soon as the order was given, the two of them began to make it.

Chef Xue usually makes a lot of egg fried rice, and he is easy to use, but this time it is above the main hall, and the two biggest masters in the palace, the Empress Dowager and the official family, are looking at him, and he inevitably has some intention of showing off his skills.

If it is made for himself to eat, then it is as simple as making an egg fried rice and putting some chopped green onions, but since the two masters, the prince and the ministers are here, these people are all people who are used to eating all kinds of delicacies and delicacies on weekdays, and if they don't put some precious materials, they can't show his intentions.

After thinking about the ratio of various high-end ingredients in his mind, he began to prepare.

The first thing to prepare is eggs, ten fresh eggs are beaten into a bowl, but instead of breaking them up, they are changed to another bowl, and only the yolks are taken out and put in them, and then beaten evenly and set aside.

For the best fish maw soaked in the skin, only take the tip of the fat and cut it into minced pieces for later use.

Fresh Yellow River prawns, washed and shelled, removed from intestines, crushed into shrimp puree.

For the best lamb hind leg meat, only take the most tender part of the inner thigh and chop it into diced meat.

Fresh green shallots, just the crispest and sweetest middle, cut into evenly sized green onions.

Chef Xue looks busy, but in fact he does it in an orderly manner, and every move shows his excellent skills.

Everyone in the hall, including the envoys of various countries, also gave a burst of admiration for his skills.

With all the ingredients ready, he began to start the pot, and the heat was high until it was hot, and the oil was quickly added. When the oil entered the pan and met the hot pan that heated rapidly to red, a high flame immediately burst out.

Then add the beaten egg yolk and the cold rice stirred with raw oil to the pot successively, stir-fry quickly, quickly add the fish maw powder, shrimp puree, and lamb hind leg diced meat prepared in advance, and then pour in the fish sauce and stir-fry evenly.

All kinds of fresh and expensive ingredients burst out with a strong fragrance after being heated, and suddenly filled the entire hall.

Everyone in the main hall was attracted by this extremely enticing aroma, and it aroused a great appetite.

Finally, sprinkle a little salt and chives, and a golden and fragrant egg fried rice is ready.

Chef Xue's performance is really wonderful, and he is worthy of being the master of the North Chef King.

On the side of Chef Inu Juntaro, until Chef Xue's egg fried rice was put into a delicate silver plate, he did not move, but carefully observed every step of Chef Xue, and finally smiled lightly and clapped a few loud applause.

Xue didn't know what he was waiting for or what he was doing, and when he was done with everything, Juntaro Inu started making his egg fried rice.

Compared with Chef Xue's exquisite materials and fine production, Juntaro Inu's side is much lighter, and even his movements seem to be slow, as if he is a newcomer to the kitchen business.

He only used one egg to beat it into egg liquid, and after cutting a bunch of chopped green onions, he turned on the fire and put it on the pot, and even used not much oil at the bottom of the pot.

The ministers of the Great Song Dynasty and the princes and nobles who came to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet privately began to laugh at the so-called first cook of the Japanese Kingdom for being too small and childish.

All the materials are from our Da Song, who wants you to save for us?

Besides, this is our palace in the Great Song Dynasty, in front of the Empress Dowager and the official family, you buckle the rope as if the materials used are your family's, who is disgusting?

There were a few military generals with straightforward personalities, who couldn't help but be contemptuous, and sneered at him.

"I said, this Taro chef of the Wa Kingdom, you don't have to save materials for our Da Song, don't you hens in the Wa Kingdom lay eggs? Ha ha.

Isn't it just a few eggs, what we have in the Great Song Dynasty is, if you are reluctant to eat, wait for the banquet to go home with the old man and pull up a few baskets, and bring them back to your country for your children to taste, tsk, look at the poor ...... of the children."

As an envoy of the Japanese state, Tokunayama Hachimaru listened to the old general's sarcastic words, and he was a little restless, as if he was about to have a seizure.

However, Juntaro Inu didn't care about it on his face, still slowly stir-frying his pot of egg fried rice, and at the same time squinted at the stubborn Hachimaru who was full of dryness with sharp eyes.

Tokunayamaru seemed to be in awe of this Japanese cook, and when he saw this look, he immediately sat back in peace, closed his eyes and pretended to be pensive, ignoring the ridicule and ridicule of the old generals.

After a while, Juntaro Inu's egg fried rice was completed, but it was much inferior to the fragrant scene of Chef Xue's egg fried rice coming out of the pot.

He didn't use the exquisite silver plate that the waiter had prepared for him, but replaced it with an ordinary porcelain plate and served the egg fried rice in the pot.

Looking at his egg fried rice again, above the brightly lit hall, the color is also oily and bright, but the color is pale yellow, compared to Chef Xue's glittering plate, he lost three points in terms of appearance.

Chef Xue saw that he had also finished it, so he bowed down and reported back to Zhao Hao: "Lord Qiyu, Weichen's egg fried rice has a resounding name, called 'Golden Jade Mantang', please taste it with Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother." ”
