Chapter 298: An Unexpected Deliciousness

The plate of "Green Pepper Crispy Eggplant Shrimp" is a simple and fresh dish, the yellow bell pepper and purple brown eggplant are cut into neat diamond-shaped flat pieces, the pink and transparent crystal shrimp are mixed with it, and the fiery red and shiny two wattle strips are embellished among the eye-catching, and the five colors are scattered in the plate, which is simple and bright to arouse the appetite.

Zhiming Lao Dao and Fang Yu each picked up a piece of chopsticks and eggplant, and before they could send it to their mouths, they smelled a familiar and attractive spicy fragrance.

It turns out that the "green pepper" in the name of this dish does not refer to the bell pepper commonly known as "persimmon pepper", but the green pepper placed on the edge of the plate that looks like a decoration.

The entrance of the eggplant is not as soft and tender as originally expected, the first thing that comes into contact between the teeth is a thin layer of crispy shell, after biting through the crispy shell, the tender and fat eggplant meat immediately gushes out amazing juice, slightly numb, slightly spicy and crispy, and there is a strange sweetness.

"Hey, the taste of this dish..."Old Dao Zhiming showed a look of surprise on his face.

Just now he saw that Fang Yu was afraid that he would be sad, so he deliberately used this dish to change the topic, and he also took the initiative to cooperate and taste a chopstick. But I didn't expect to be blind, this dish with a fresh and simple appearance is actually delicious beyond imagination.

He picked up another piece of eggplant and looked at it carefully, and there was a thin layer of almost transparent yellow hanging on the purple surface of the eggplant, which should have been formed by hanging paste and then oiling.

"Hanging paste" is a very common cooking technique, also known as "dressing" in the industry, that is, hanging a layer of clothing-like paste on the surface of the raw materials that have been treated by knife work.

This cooking technique is usually used for tender and juicy ingredients, and the batter will immediately form a protective layer when heated in the oil pan, protecting the ingredients from direct contact with the hot oil.

This not only locks in the moisture and umami of the ingredients, so that the nutrients are not lost, but also increases the taste, so that the prepared dishes are loose, tender, fragrant, crispy and other textures, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

There are more than 10 kinds of common "hanging paste", such as egg white paste, egg yolk paste, whole egg paste, egg paste, crispy paste, Korean paste, etc., and the process and final taste of each are different.

To the surprise of Zhiming Lao Dao, it was not this cooking technique, and the method of hanging paste was not unusual. However, the outer shell of this eggplant is unexpectedly thin, but the taste is not affected at all.

Not only that, but the eggplant wrapped in the crispy shell is steamed and the heat is just right, and if it is too ripe, it will have a peculiar smell unique to eggplant, and if it is too ripe, it will be too runny and cannot be formed.

This detail may not have any other thoughts for ordinary people except that it is particularly delicious, but for masters like Zhiming Lao Dao and Fang Yu who have entered the door in cooking, they can see a lot of mysteries.

Behind the unexpected deliciousness is the exquisite ratio of the paste, the subtle control of the oil temperature, and the accurate calculation of the oil time, and every process must be almost perfect in order to give birth to such a high-quality product.

The two raised their chopsticks again at the same time, each took a piece of crystal shrimp, looked at each other and smiled and put it in their mouths.

The texture of the crystal shrimp is crispy, which is just right to match the soft eggplant pieces, and the taste is perfect. The two main ingredients present a fresh and sweet taste, respectively, and the soft sweetness of the yellow pepper, which starts and ends with each other, forming a rich taste layer.

Among them, the aroma and taste of green pepper are the "finishing touch" in the "painting dragon".

Green peppercorns are chosen instead of peppercorns precisely because they pay more attention to fragrance in hemp fragrance. The unique aroma lingers on every ingredient on the plate, making it taste before you even eat it. In addition, there is a wonderful change between the pepper oil and the eggplant meat of green peppercorns, which can reduce the fishy smell of the eggplant, increase its sweetness, and form a balance with the sweetness of the shrimp.

Tasting such a delicacy is like a calligraphy lover seeing a wonderful calligraphy, which makes Zhiming and Fang Yu nod their heads again and again.

Fang Yu tasted a few chopsticks one after another, and secretly compared it with the "vegetarian soup chrysanthemum" he had just drunk.

On the artistic conception is naturally "vegetarian soup chrysanthemum" far outstanding, its taste is elegant and refined, the charm is long, and the production method of "white chrysanthemum" is a unique stunt, which makes people amazed. Just like the traditional fine brush painting, delicate and elegant.

The ingredients of this soup dish are extremely exquisite, the recipe of the soup is relatively complex, and the combination of flavors is perfect, and there is no way to restore the complete recipe with Fang Yu's ability. But Fang Yu can at least be sure that it uses chicken fir, matsutake mushrooms and other mountain and wild mushrooms, which is also a major reason for its superb taste.

In contrast, "Green Pepper Crispy Tomato Shrimp" is much more ordinary in terms of ingredients, they are all common things, and at most the quality is much better than the outside world, which is slightly worse than the ingredients that Fang Yu treated with the "purification" of the small magic power. However, thinking that there was such a magical thing as "aura" in the cave, Fang Yu was not surprised that the quality of the ingredients was outstanding.

The main thing that amazes me is that this dish is very high in terms of production level, and the attainment of some basic skills is even more outstanding, and the skills shown by a simple dish are by no means ordinary people.

Fang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhiming, wouldn't the chef of this canteen also be the elder in the door?" ”

Zhiming Lao Dao shook his head:

"The dining hall downstairs is managed by the outer disciples, and the upper floor is the inner disciples taking turns. This is also to give the disciples a chance to practice, it is difficult to adjust the mouth, the small pot dishes are easy to make, and the big pot dishes are difficult to do. Moreover, the kitchen is not only about cooking, but also the cooking skills learned are incomplete if you have not been in charge of a restaurant or canteen. ”

"Are you saying that this dish was made by an inner disciple?" Fang Yu couldn't believe it.

Some of the skills of this dish are only slightly inferior to him, although the higher the skill climbs, the more difficult it will be, but it stands to reason that the inner disciples cannot have such a high level, otherwise their master's ability will not be high.

"It's impossible, the level of this dish is already on par with mine, but I'm afraid that the slightly weaker true disciples may not be able to compare."

Daoist Zhiming frowned and thought for a while with a puzzled expression, and suddenly a person flashed in his heart: "Could it be him, impossible..."

Just thinking about it, oh oh, there was a person downstairs, it was Zheng Zhiqiang who left just now.

He went upstairs and went straight to Fang Yu's room, hurriedly gave a salute, and said without waiting for Zhiming to return the courtesy:

"Elder Cui just asked for an elders' meeting to be held in advance, and my uncle asked me to inform you to go to the Ziyang Peak Hall as soon as possible to wait for the summons."

Hearing Zheng Zhiqiang say this, Zhiming Lao Dao didn't have the heart to eat, so he hurriedly pulled up Fang Yu:

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Elder Cui will suddenly convene an elders' meeting in advance, but I'm afraid that there will be another change, so let's go early, so as not to be taken advantage of by him to make trouble."

Fang Yu also thought so, nodded yes, and the three of them left in a hurry.

At the same time, a corner of the main hall of the Ziyang Peak Sect

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face pulled Cui Qingfan and whispered:

"Old Cui, why are you in such a hurry to convene the Council of Elders, is there something wrong?"

"Something is wrong."

Hearing this, the yin owl man showed a panicked look on his face:

"Ahh Lao Cui, this is not a joke. The head of the house is already suspicious, and he contacted Senior Sister Ren to secretly check on us. There is no patience on the other side, and if today's incident goes wrong again, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it at both ends. ”

Compared with the panic of the yin owl man, Cui Qingfan's face was as usual:

"What are you afraid of! If the situation is leveled, I don't panic, what are you anxious about. Go and call Senior Brother Huo, and I'll tell you the plan later, as long as you do what I say, you'll be fine. ”

Looking at the back of the yin owl man leaving in a hurry, Cui Qingfan showed a look of disdain on his face:

"Hmph, the more you live, the more timid you become. Hand over! I, Cui Qingfan, have I ever had to explain to whom. You memocratic people, and look at me today, once and for all. ”
