Chapter 178: Chaos
In order to ensure that the meatballs form a ball, you need to add starch to the minced meat, otherwise the minced meat will be scattered in the pot.
The principle of vegetarian balls is the same, simple mixing cannot be integrated. However, vegetarian meatballs are different from meatballs, adding starch to vegetarian meatballs will make the meatballs too hard, and the taste will not be seriously damaged. Don't look at the difference between meatballs and vegetarian meatballs, the change in taste is enough to become the fatal wound of a dish. This is why most people choose to make meatballs instead of vegetarian meatballs.
Xu Yuan calls herself a chef, but she forgets the simplest questions.
How to make the vegetarian balls ensure the taste and not loosen has become a big mountain in front of her.
Xu Yuan was stunned in place, it was not that she couldn't solve this problem, but that there was not much time left, and a pause at this time would inevitably affect the completion of the dish. Coupled with the fact that I didn't even realize this simple question before, self-blame and guilt instantly came to my heart.
Just when Xu Yuan was about to mess up, the firewood on the stove beside him was booming.
Xia Shang set up the oil pot and worked seriously......
"Oil pot? What do you do in a grease pan? "Xu Yuan was very strange that he didn't let him get into the oil pot.
Xia Shang not only set up an oil pot, but also gave Xu Yuan something - bean flour.
Xia Shang didn't have any explanation, and naturally completed everything, as if it had been planned in advance.
This scene fell in the eyes of the people around him, and it was indeed planned, so that no one noticed Xu Yuan's panic and helplessness just now.
The smart Xu Yuan quickly understood Xia Shang's intention, which was to add bean flour to himself.
Replace starch with soy flour.
Xu Yuan's eyes lit up, this is indeed a feasible solution. Coupled with Xia Shang's behavior of starting the oil pot, it is already clear what to do next.
Soybean flour and starch are different, the viscosity is weaker but softer, adding a small amount of soybean flour can make several vegetarian dishes stick together without being stiff, so the balls may not withstand boiling water, but the way of frying can ensure that the balls are not deformed and not scattered.
Xia Shang's seemingly inconspicuous actions pointed out the direction to Xu Yuan, and at the same time took care of Xu Yuan's identity as a chef.
Xu Yuan was very grateful, although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart and felt that she didn't do much in the game, but winning was the key.
Without hesitation, Xu Yuan added soybean flour to the dish, stirred clockwise, and waited until the oil temperature in the oil pan was suitable, and the vegetarian vegetable balls were put into the pot.
Jia Yu wisped his long beard and nodded again and again: "Wonderful, bean flour with fried, worthy of a, this kung fu has made the old man learn a hand." ”
After deep-frying, the skin of the meatballs takes on a golden color, losing the color of several vegetarian dishes, but unexpectedly obtaining a quality that resembles meatballs.
The onlookers were in an uproar, who would have thought that after being put into the pot, it would show a color that was enough to be fake?
Xu Yuan was even more energetic, thinking that this was an unexpected gain.
Vegetarian meatballs show the appearance of meatballs, closely following the word "strange"!
In addition to being excited, Xu Yuan peeked at Xia Shang and found that Xia Shang was still calmly controlling the oil temperature, and his face was not sad or happy.
"Did he already know this was the result?"
The meatballs were not finished after being scooped up from the oil pot, and the pig's trotter soup on the other stove had already been boiled, and the meatballs were put into the pot, but they were not cooked for a long time, and only the meatballs were fished out with the pig's trotter soup with a wine glass, and then stood still.
Everyone thought that it would be over when they reached this point, but Xu Yuan was silent for a long time, just staring at the cup and occasionally looking at the sky.
It was freezing cold, and the cup gradually changed, and some astute people finally understood Xu Yuan's intentions, and couldn't help but say no.
The soup quickly becomes jelly, locks the meatballs firmly in the center, and finally pours the meatballs out of the cup with the jelly and puts them on a plate. The milky white frozen skin can be blown and broken, just like the delicate skin of a young girl, which makes people want to come forward and take a bite when they see it.
If it weren't for everyone around watching the preparation process of the dish, who would have thought that there were vegetarian meatballs hidden in it?
This dish can be described as twists and turns, each layer hides the unexpected, and the word "strange" is vividly reflected.
"Done!"
As Xu Yuan shouted, the afterglow of the setting sun suddenly disappeared, and the light in the pear orchard dimmed a lot.
Everyone was shocked into a cold sweat, and it was completed at the last moment, which was not thrilling.
Just looking at the process is indeed "strange", but it is unknown whether it can conquer Jia Yu's tricky taste.
Jia Yu was already waiting on the sidelines, it may be the last dish, Jia Yu took the initiative to comment for the first time.
"It's a strange dish, but it's clever and reflects the imagination of a chef. It is not easy for a to complete such a dish, but whether it can be presented to His Majesty depends on how it tastes. I don't know what the name of this dish is? ”
Xu Yuan looked at Xia Shang, who didn't show anything.
After thinking about it, Xu Yuan spoke: "Chaos." ”
"Ravioli?"
"No, this chaos is not a ravioli."
Jia Yu suddenly said: "Wonderful! The appearance is pure white, there is a lot of Qiankun inside, it seems to be meat, but in fact it is a vegetable, there are many mixed ones, it is difficult to distinguish types, and the name of chaos is indeed appropriate. Good! The old man will try this chaos first, what is it? ”
After taking a bite, Jia Yu looked surprised: "How so?" The frozen skin is mellow, and the meatballs can't eat the taste of vegetarian dishes, and they don't look like meat, but they have a strong aftertaste, and they really can't be connected to the combination of several foods just now. Is it because of the knife cutting that has never stopped before? ”
Xu Yuan didn't answer, but kept smiling.
Jia Yu knew that he had a lot to say, and turned his head to the guard beside him and said, "Straight to the saint." ”
Most people were shocked by Jia Yu's decision, but a few eyes focused on the unattractive deputy behind Xu Yuan.
These people didn't see Xu Yuan's panic just now, but they found the calmness of the deputy in the whole process, which was better than that of chef Xu Yuan. The chef's instincts told them that the deputy was a very experienced cook, but he looked so young!
What's even more suspicious is that the meatballs can show a golden flesh color when they are put into the oil pan just now, and the credit should be the deputy who controls the oil temperature. Because the oil temperature directly affects the color of the balls, the oil temperature should not be too high or too low, so it is necessary to always approach and leave the flame. This is a process that seems simple but is actually difficult. He can actually make all the balls almost the same color! What kind of control of oil temperature is required?
Yunshui Pavilion doesn't have this number one, who is that deputy?
There are still more than ten days left before the third round, and if Xu Yuan can get lucky enough to enter the third round, then the deputy next to her is definitely the target of the investigation!
After sunset, it was getting dark quickly, and the rest of the results were postponed until early tomorrow morning, except for Cao Fu, the only one who was the first to be selected.
After half a day of tension, everyone has to accept another night of suffering, whose dish can be selected into the recipe of the Great Pilgrimage? Who will fall in the last seven promotion places? We'll find out tomorrow morning.
