Chapter 35 Hot and sour shredded potatoes

Several soldiers heard that the deputy squad leader was going to have a competition, and immediately cleaned up the venue, but no one was optimistic about Meng Chuan, this new squad leader was too young, still a college student, and now college students brag about being more powerful than the other, but when it comes to cooking, I want to compare with a veteran who has been doing it for more than ten years, it is really a bit unscrupulous.

Meng Chuan looked left and right, and saw two potatoes exposed on a burlap bag on the ground, Meng Chuan smiled: "Since I saw you for the first time, let's use you to cook." ”

Seeing Meng Chuan take two potatoes, Zheng Cai smiled inwardly: "A little doll is a little doll, no matter how delicious the potatoes are, how delicious can they be?" Watch me make a delicate dish this time to kill him in seconds, so that he won't be able to get up in the future. ”

Zheng Cai thought for a while, and said to the soldier next to him: "Xiao Hu, you go and bring the bacon meat, Xiao Wu, you go and bring the enoki mushroom, Xiao Kong, you go and clean the non-stick pan for me, and don't affect my level of performance." I'm going to make a bacon enoki mushroom roll today to compete with the squad leader. ”

When the people in the cooking class heard Zheng Cai's words, they immediately took action and went to get the materials, and for a while, the entire cooking class was in chaos.

Meng Chuan saw that the people in the cooking class were commanded by Zheng Cai, he just smiled, then took a kitchen knife, squatted on the ground and began to cut potatoes, Meng Chuan's knife was very fast, a big kitchen knife was made by him, Wang Hao, who was watching from the side, noticed Meng Chuan, compared to the mess on Zheng Cai's side, Meng Chuan is too clean, all the processes of cooking are done by one person, if it is more momentum, Wang Hao thinks that Meng Chuan, a hands-on leader, is much better than Zheng Cai's leader, If Meng Chuan can win this time, he must follow Meng Chuan closely.

Wang Hao walked up to Meng Chuan and asked in a low voice, "Squad leader, do you need help?" ”

Meng Chuan looked up at the sergeant and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can be busy alone." ”

Meng Cai's knife seems to have magic power, whether it is cutting pits or peeling, the big kitchen knife is always in his hand, with this knife skill, Wang Hao can see that this Meng Chuan is really not simple.

In less than a minute, the two big potatoes were peeled, and after the skin was peeled, Meng Chuan began to shred, Meng Chuan's knife skills were very good, and the sound of chopping vegetables was very good, and the cooking soldiers who were busy hearing Meng Chuan's sound of chopping vegetables looked over, as if this voice had a kind of magic power, which could hook people's souls.

Zheng Cai was rolling enoki mushrooms with bacon, and when he heard the sound of Meng Chuan chopping vegetables, he also looked over, and when he found that all the cooking soldiers were looking at Meng Chuan, as if enjoying Meng Chuan's sound of chopping vegetables, he coughed and said, "Haven't you seen a shredded potato?" Even a cook who has been a cook for a year is better at cutting vegetables than him, come and help me. ”

Several soldiers hurriedly came back to their senses and watched Zheng Cai cook.

After the shredded potatoes are cut, they should be soaked in water for two minutes to remove the starch, so that they are more refreshing to eat, and it is not easy to break when stir-frying.

Slice the chives and shred the peppers. Soon the excipients were also ready.

Meng Chuan's sour and hot shredded potatoes do not need to prepare the sauce in advance, and its practical vinegar flavor can completely highlight the refreshing and crispy feeling of the shredded potatoes, and adding too many seasonings is cumbersome.

After taking the shredded potatoes out of the water and controlling them dry, Meng Chuan began to light the fire and stir-fry.

Add a little oil first, wait for the oil to heat up, add red pepper and chives and stir-fry, after you can smell the spicy smell, pour in shredded potatoes and start stir-frying, because shredded potatoes are shredded, so they are cooked quickly, and they must not be fried for too long, and Meng Chuan's stir-fry technique is more special, so that the shredded potatoes can be heated together, so the fried time is faster, less than a minute, and the fragrance of shredded potatoes will come out.

At this time, Meng Chuan kept stir-frying, took vinegar and poured some into it, vinegar can highlight the sour and spicy taste, but if you put too much, it will reduce the spicy taste and highlight the sourness, so this amount must be grasped well.

Salt is the king of all flavors, but salt should not be added more, and the current salt is iodized salt, it is best to add it a while before the pot, so as to increase the absorption rate of iodine.

Because the fried shredded potatoes were originally fast, it didn't take long to add the vinegar, and Meng Chuan added salt and prepared to get out of the pot.

At this time, on Zheng Cai's side, several people were helping, but now they are still making bacon rolls enoki mushrooms.

Zheng Cai saw that Meng Chuan was out of the pot, and he was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Wu and Xiao Hu continue to roll enoki mushrooms, Xiao Kong, you go and pour the oil and heat it." I'm going to spice the sauce. ”

After waiting for another fifteen minutes, Zheng Cai was able to get it right. Sprinkle with sauce and hurry out of the pan.

Meng Chuan saw that Zheng Cai had also done a good job, and said, "Class deputy, who will we let be the judge?" ”

Zheng Cai was just about to speak, when a voice suddenly came from outside the cafeteria, "I think I will be the judge of this one." ”

Meng Chuan looked out of the door and hurriedly saluted, "Director Ding is good." ”

The other cooks also hurriedly gathered and shouted, "Hello Director Ding." ”

Ding Zhiqiang, director of the logistics department, waved his hand and said: "Everyone is disbanded, don't be so nervous, I just came, I just turned here, and I was about to come in and take a look, I heard that you had a competition, so I came in after watching it outside." ”

Director Ding walked up to Meng Chuan, patted Meng Chuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little Meng squad leader, you are very good, you do it alone when you cook, and the speed is fast, which fully reflects the quality of a soldier." ”

Then he said to Zheng Cai: "Zheng Cai, you can't do this well, you always have to remember that you are a soldier first, and then a cook, you are a procrastination in cooking, everyone else has come back from a battle, and you are still wearing shoes there, you can't do this." ”

Zheng Cai looked at his three little helpers, and he also knew that he had taken advantage of Meng Chuan, so he didn't dare to refute it at all.

Director Ding said: "It's just that the cooking class still has to make dishes with excellent skills, so I'll try your dishes." ”

Director Ding first tasted the bacon enoki mushroom rolls, and after eating, he exclaimed: "The cooking skills are still excellent, the taste is good, and it is worthy of praise." ”

After receiving Director Ding's affirmation, Zheng Cai smiled contemptuously at Meng Chuan, looked at Meng Chuan's plate of shredded potatoes and smiled, this time he must have won the game.

Then Director Ding walked to Meng Chuan again, took a chopstick and shredded potatoes and put them in his mouth, and immediately it was gone, and all the cooking soldiers looked at Director Ding's expression, hoping that Director Ding would announce the result.

Director Ding slowed down for a while before swallowing the shredded potatoes in his mouth, and then said to Zheng Cai: "Zheng Cai, come and taste it, I won't announce the verdict, you can say it yourself." ”

Zheng Cai didn't understand what Director Ding meant, what is so good about a plate of shredded potatoes, and how delicious can it be if you fry it again?

But Zheng Cai still took a pair of chopsticks, put a chopstick shredded potatoes into his mouth, just ate the shredded potatoes in his mouth, Zheng Cai was suddenly stunned, swallowed the shredded potatoes after a long time, silently put down the chopsticks, and said dejectedly: "I lost this competition." ”

This made the cooks present unbelievable, this fourth-class sergeant major with superb cooking skills actually said that he lost, how delicious is this plate of shredded potatoes? All the cooks wanted to taste what this shredded potato tasted like.

Director Ding looked at the appearance of these cooking soldiers and said with a smile: "You also come to taste it, otherwise you won't believe it." ”

After several cooks got the order of Director Ding, they immediately took chopsticks to taste the taste of shredded potatoes, and after eating, they were really amazed by Meng Chuan's craftsmanship, Wang Hao said: "I dare to guarantee that this shredded potatoes are the most delicious sour and hot shredded potatoes in the world." Xiao Hu and several other cooks also nodded in agreement.

Director Ding said to Meng Chuan and Zheng Cai: "Comrade Zheng Cai, you lost this cooking, did you learn any lessons from it?" ”

Zheng Cai really couldn't understand why a simple shredded potato could taste so delicious, and his own hard work to make a meal made with these good ingredients was not as good as a shredded potato.

Director Ding looked at Zheng Cai and didn't speak, and said, "Comrade Zheng Cai, think about it, if you can't figure this out, then it will be too difficult for your cooking skills to go further." ”

Then Director Ding said to Meng Chuan: "Little Meng, then I'll leave first, don't forget to start the meal in time at noon." ”

Meng Chuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Director Ding." ”
