Two-three-six: I'm going to heaven! [Up]
A real Michelin yogurt platter requires a lot of fruit.
These include strawberries, blueberries, bayberry, grapes, kiwi, mulberries, apples, oranges, lemons, large cherries, small cherries, and coconut.
Among them, except for mulberries, oranges and coconuts, there are no others in the Northern and Southern Dynasties today!
Although grapes can be substituted for grapes, and there are grapes in this era, but... Today, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, grapes are different from modern times, and the taste of grapes is worse than that of wine grapes used to make red wine, and even more sour than lemons.
However, it took hundreds of years for the technology of making red wine to be introduced to the land of China, and if you eat grapes of this age, as long as there are two or three grapes, it will cause serious dysentery, and in severe cases, you will have stomach perforation to death.
So it's not nothing, it's just that no one will be afraid to eat this thing for a long time, and even because of medical limitations, people don't know the reason why eating grapes can cause stomach perforation, and they think that grapes are poisonous, and naturally they won't prepare it in the kitchen.
So, there are only three kinds of fruits needed for the yogurt platter.
Because it was stuck at the time of the system refresh, Mingtian could summon two ingredients, one was naturally indispensable yogurt, and the other was blueberries that Mingtian finally decided to summon.
Conditions are not a reason not to cook good food!
A chef who can simplify a dish with the only conditions is a good chef.
Mingtian can even simplify the rare Buddha jumping over the wall by feeling, so what's so difficult about this small yogurt platter?
Ingredient calling: yogurt!
Ingredient Call: Blueberries!
Condiment Summoning: Caramel, rock sugar, ice cubes, gelatin and butter!
Since it was decided, Mingtian did not stop and started cooking.
The Michelin yogurt platter is very complicated, and in the case of a limited variety of ingredients, what Mingtian wants to do is to simplify its production process to the extent that even ordinary people know how to make it easily.
At the same time, the flavor must be preserved to the maximum.
First heat the wok up, add a small amount of butter, simmer until you can smell the butter aroma, immediately pour in the mulberries and blueberries, then pour in the appropriate amount of caramel, and a trace amount of gelatin, add a small bowl of water, and simmer over low heat.
Gelatin is not theoretically a condiment for cooking, but the gelatin used here is not to make jelly, but to make the puree more viscous, in order to add a mellow but not greasy taste, just like the skin of Qingtuan, but much thinner, but a little thicker than jam, so the amount must be controlled very precisely, very little!
When cooking, it is necessary to stir slowly so that the flavor of the caramel evenly penetrates into both fruits, but never too hard.
Although it needs to be broken and cooked until it is soft and sticky, it is not made into a sauce, and blueberries and mulberries must retain part of their original shape as much as possible.
This is a great test of the chef's ability and speed to stir the spoon, and if you accidentally let some of the fruit stick to the pan, just wait to make a lump of fruit paste.
After about seven or eight minutes, the water evaporates, the fruit is boiled into a half-sauce and half-fruit shape, and then put it in a bowl, place the bowl in ice cubes to speed up its cooling, and at the same time, pay attention to the yogurt needs to be iced with ice cubes until it is cold.
Damn, if only there was a refrigerator!
Although Mingtian was so emotional, he kept working on his hands.
Peel and remove the oranges, leaving only the pulp, and set aside for later use.
The biggest headache is the coconut.
In these years, there was no coconut opener, and the big kitchen knives were used to kill livestock, and they were full of the smell of flesh and blood that could not be washed off, and they could not be used to split coconuts, so Ming Tian could only hold a light kitchen knife and slowly chop.
But, chopping a coconut with a light kitchen knife, that feels like poking Iron Man with nail clippers, that's called a grind.
In the end, Mingtian, who was on fire, simply used the fire monster power, and with a knife down, with a bang, the kitchen knife collapsed, and he barely opened the shell of the coconut.
Dig out the pulp, chop it into coconut sauce, melt the rock sugar with coconut water and mix with the meat sauce.
It is worth noting here that the coconut water mixed with pulp sauce needs to be adjusted and proportional, and the meat sauce with too much coconut water will be too thin, generally the pulp of a coconut only needs one-fifth of the coconut water, and the rock sugar only needs a small amount of seasoning.
Finally, put the previous blueberry mulberry jam on a plate, then mix the iced yogurt with the coconut pulp sauce and spread it on top, be careful not to mix the yogurt and jam, you want to be layered.
If you stir it at this time, the color will definitely turn into a brown, and the taste will not change, but the shape will not be visible.
Finally, you can decide how to place the flesh of the orange according to the feeling and in a beautiful way.
This is the end of a simplified yogurt platter.
Mingtian's calculations are very in place!
The biggest difference between pre-dinner desserts and post-dinner desserts is that pre-dinner desserts either taste sour or light and sweet.
As for desserts, what is required is to be sweet and fatty.
This is also the reason why rock sugar dates can be used as appetizers, but not desserts, while cakes can be used as desserts, but not as appetizers, obviously both are sweet.
Desserts, according to the formal rules of dining, must not be sour or refreshing, just like many hotels, after eating will give a plate of fruit platter, in fact, according to the real dining rules, that is wrong, corn or tart cake or the like is the right choice.
Although the yogurt platter is mainly based on yogurt and many sour fruits, in fact, those sour flavors are only auxiliary flavors, and the real main flavor is its sweetness.
Mulberries and blueberries are boiled with caramel, and their sour taste is covered by the sweetness of the caramel, and a trace amount of gelatin makes the taste smooth between jelly and jam, adding a "fat" characteristic.
Even if taken out on its own, it is an excellent dessert.
Similarly, the mixture of yogurt and coconut also adds to its taste, while giving people a stronger sense of satiety, the sweetness of coconut fruit and the rock sugar mixed in it will also weaken the sour taste of yogurt, but not erased, so that its sour taste is perfectly used as a secondary flavor to set off the sweetness.
As for the orange decoration at the end, it is just a decoration, the amount is not large, and it is necessary to say that the effect is just a fine-tuning of the taste of the finished product.
Divided into four portions, Ming Tian instructed the servant to serve the yogurt platter.
Along the way, the maid serving the dishes had obviously never seen such a delicacy.
Although it is cold, it still exudes a strong sweet fragrance, so that the servants can't help but salivate and want to taste the taste of this beautiful dish.
Back in the hall, Cui Huijing, An Luo and Cui Xinrou have been waiting for a long time.
Cui Xinrou saw Ming Tian coming in, and immediately raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at that, the little girl was already ready to saliva, so she waited for the dish to look for some stabs after tasting it.
"Why is it so slow, it's been half an hour." Xiao Rou pouted.
Ming Tian smiled slightly: "Let Miss Cui wait for a long time, please forgive me." ”
"Hmph, let's talk about it first, I'm not as easy to deal with as my father." Xiao Rou pouted, turned her head angrily and didn't look at Ming Tian.
"Xiao Rou, don't be rude, Patriarch Xiao is kind enough to cook for us, how can you talk like that? Have you forgotten how your father taught you on weekdays? ”
Cui Huijing gave a lesson, and immediately apologized and said, "Patriarch Xiao, my daughter is young and doesn't understand the rules, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, girl, it's better to be lively."
As he spoke, Ming Tian also threw a kind smile at Cui Xinrou.
With this smile, Cui Xinrou, who saw it, blushed, hurriedly turned her head, snorted arrogantly, and made a look of not caring, not daring to look at Mingtian again.
It was useless to say more, Ming Tian smiled slightly, clapped his hands and signaled that the food was served.
So, guys, are you ready to ascend to heaven?
