Chapter 239: 'Yam Root'
In fact, this is Xia Yan's return to the main paradise and the first time he has cooked "Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot" in public, of course, compared with the version when he went out on an adventure in the "Another World Canteen" half a month ago, today's version can be said to be an extremely updated and improved version.
So, where is the update, and what links have been improved?
First of all.
It's definitely the ingredients.
You must know that the original whims of the adventure, except for the cooking utensils, basic seasonings, and flour starch for kneading the meatballs, almost all the other ingredients come from another world.
And at the moment, in the world of halberds, in the Yuanyue campus, Xia Yan certainly couldn't beckon out of thin air and bring out a lot of strange and weird ingredients.
A brand new 'alienated ingredient' that has never been successfully conditioned before is enough to cause heated discussions.
If it's a lot, it simply doesn't have to be explained.
Relying on a good relationship with the commander-in-chief of Yuanyue, he may not be arrested by the official to study or anything, but in the face of the investigation of a group of people in Yuanyue, who can withstand it.
Moreover, the improved version of "Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot", except for the "Elf Mushroom", Xia Yan also discarded all the other otherworldly ingredients.
That's a lot of fun.
The principle is the same as the usage of 'truffle'.
The truffle is known as the king of ingredients, and all ingredients should be subservient to it.
If you mix it with ingredients with strong textures and flavors, the elegant 'smell' of truffles will fall to the bottom of the mud puddle, and it will be a great loss and waste!
After returning from the adventure, in the second half of the research of the house, Xia Yan discovered that the "elf mushroom" can be called the king of the mountain treasures.
Using ordinary ingredients in the store, and using wild ingredients from another world, even if it is exactly the same and unchanged reproduction process, and completing the dish "Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot" at the same time, there is at least a 10% difference in completion!
Therefore.
The subsequent improved and improved version proved that in the process of mixing with many otherworldly mountain treasures, the flavor of the "elf mushroom" was masked, and the crown was dusty, and it was no longer so dazzling.
The results of this study, Xia Yan had not had time to tell the female elf gourmand Faldaniya, that the 15-day trip came to an abrupt end.
He could already imagine that the next trip to restart the "Other World Canteen", discuss related issues with Fardania, and bluntly point out that there is a big problem with the traditional eating method of the elves, and how the female elf foodie will be angry and disbelievable.
"The fact that the dish will prove that I used "elf mushrooms" in this way, which is completely correct!"
Xia Yan thought secretly.
Immediately, he walked towards the clear glass case where the fresh food was stored.
There is a lot of seafood here, some still alive and some that are frozen in foam boxes.
Glancing at the past, Xia Yan once again sighed that the otherworld and the modern urban world, the painting style of food resources, is really not a channel!
Due to the lack of transportation and preservation conditions in other worlds, not to mention the people at the bottom, even in the middle and upper areas of the city, seafood is considered an expensive and delicious meal.
Of course, for the 'Great Sage', 'Admiral' and 'Red Dragon Lady', who are already the embodiment or classic representatives of the rules in a sense, the distance of time and space is often very blurry, and what is the seafood, the huge sea monsters that are hidden deep in the sea bottom and only move in the trenches, they can all be dragged ashore and brought to the cat house - as long as Xia Yan releases his words and declares that I can cook peerless delicacies with such and such a sea monster.
"In the pursuit of the original reproduction style, you should choose 'sea shrimp'!" Prawns'! ”
Thinking like this in his heart, Xia Yan's hands and feet were not very obedient.
He deviated from the foam box where the shrimp were stacked and grabbed an 'octopus' from another box full of ice cubes.
Take it in your hand, it's slippery.
Xia Yan himself complained badly: "Why is it a tentacle monster ingredient again?" ”
The otherworldly adventure picnic version is to use wild boar meat to make pork balls.
The original version of Liu Pleiades is shrimp balls, emphasizing umami.
And 'meatballs' is precisely the key link in "Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot", which can be said to be the only part of the soul structure of the whole recipe.
The other part, of course, is the "elven mushroom".
No doubt.
With the tentacle monster ingredients, the recipe style is going wrong again!
"It's too normal, but it shouldn't be!"
So with the idea that he was a dark wind chef in the next place, Xia Yan was generous, grabbed the big octopus in his hand, returned to the kitchen, and began to dissect the octopus.
Due to the diligent study and hard practice of "Sashimi Nine Steps" some time ago, the treatment of the "King Squid" again and again can be said to be a know-it-all, Xia Yan can now be called a good hand at slaughtering tentacle ingredients.
Cut out the tender meat of the octopus cleanly and completely.
Take only the 'tentacles' and cut them into sections.
Then, throw it into hot water, blanch it and then remove the water.
At this point, the style of cooking and painting has changed again.
I saw Xia Yan take a very large transparent conditioning bowl, put a lot of low-gluten flour in it, and I don't know how many eggs were broken.
There were also finely chopped fruits and vegetables.
Seeing a large bowl of "batter", in Xia Yan's stirring, gradually took shape.
The crowd around the open kitchen also woke up.
"Batter, octopus meat......" Dojima Silver had a strange face, obviously speculating in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell the truth.
"That's, that's it!"
Kojiro Shinomiya's eyes flickered.
"Octopus balls!" Shiomi Jun whispered.
At this time, someone sighed.
Ichiro Caiba put his hand in his trouser pocket, shook his head and said, "This can't be an octopus ball." ”
"First of all, the amount of flour used is very abnormal, and the "batter" used to make octopus balls cannot be so sticky!"
It seems to be to verify Ichiro Naki's statement.
Xia Yan put all the drained octopus touch cubes into the cooking basin, and stirred and mixed with the "batter" thoroughly.
As a result, the contents of the pot are completely a pot of half-solidified things.
See here.
Everyone was stunned.
"It's really not Maruko."
"That's right, the small balls need to be baked in a mold, which is to pour an appropriate amount of batter on each mold first, and then use chopsticks to put the octopus meat one by one, piece by piece, and rotate constantly during the baking process, so that the batter wraps the octopus meat......"
However, Ichiro Chinami, who denied that it was the 'little pill' approach, had a different opinion, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and said:
"Now, it's more like a normal 'octopus ball', right?"
"But the question is, shouldn't you put 'starch' in the production of normal meatballs? Why flour? ”
Starch, flour, the difference is very big.
Starch is usually the main ingredient at the end of a dish.
Thickening, coagulation.
If you want to knead the balls into a shape and not fall apart during cooking, you can't lack starch.
"Huh!"
Everyone also realized this big problem, "Only flour, not starch, 'balls' will break, right?" ”
The other end of the mobile phone voice live broadcast.
Caibo Chaoyang didn't have to worry about others, and in the dark room, he shouted: "Impossible! That guy wouldn't make such a common sense mistake, it's a mistake that only stupid newcomers would make! ”
At the scene, the riot was a little unstoppable, and everyone focused on the topic of balls.
The most silent, who didn't spit a word, was only Nagi Senzaemon.
This 'Ogre King' swept his eyes to Xia Yan, who had his back to the stove, and stared at the stainless steel tools in his hands full of holes.
This is a multi-purpose tool for slicing + grater + grinding.
At this time, what was reflected in Nagi Senzaemon's field of vision was not a radish head, any common fruits and vegetables.
A small white and slender rhizome, which seems to have been peeled, is held in the hand of the young chef and rubbed against the dense holes on the surface of the stainless steel tool, making a slight "sizzling" sound.
Seeing puddles of soft white mud, piled higher and higher in the bowl, Nagi Senzaemon suddenly tightened his white eyebrows:
“…… Yam root? ”
