Chapter 55: Sauce
"Oh?" Jiang Houchun didn't expect it to be because of charcoal, "What kind of dishes do you plan to use charcoal and iron plates in Jiuli?" ”
"Uncle Jiang will come and see it later, it was the kid who figured it out, and it was actually a fresh picture." Qi Jiuli took the iron plate and went to the kitchen and began to choose ingredients suitable for barbecue.
Pork belly, mushrooms, leeks, ...... These are secondary, the most critical thing in barbecue is the sauce, the autumn restaurant only has the sauce, Qi Jiuli has tasted it just now, it is not suitable for direct dipping sauce, and it must be processed again.
Stir-fry the chili pepper in the oil pot, fry the fragrance and spicy taste of the chili pepper, put salt and sugar, and wait for the red oil to float in the pot, Qi Jiuli put the chili oil out and put it in the bowl.
Then chop the minced garlic and cut half a bowl.
Qiu Wei Restaurant's own sauce, Qi Jiuli also went down to the oil pot and stir-fried, added some sugar and a little water, let the sauce be slightly thinner and then put it in a bowl.
There weren't any spices in the kitchen, and Qi Jiuli thought that today's dipping sauce should be as simple as that.
took a small bowl, scooped a big spoonful of sauce with a spoon, then scooped a spoonful of minced garlic, and then poured half a spoonful of chili oil, Qi Jiuli stirred the sauce evenly, and then tried the taste with his little thumb, well, it's still very good, Qi Jiuli came to Jiang Houchun with the sauce, "Uncle Jiang, do you want to taste it?" ”
Although Jiang Houchun was curious, when Qi Jiuli was busy working in front of the stove, he was handling the ingredients to be made today from a distance, and when Qi Jiuli came over with a bowl of sauce, Guo Houchun put down the kitchen knife, looked at Qi Jiuli's expectant eyes, and tasted the taste of the sauce.
Guo Houchun's eyes lit up, he had tasted the taste of the sauce in the restaurant, he never used it when cooking, but now the sauce processed by Qi Jiuli is less salty and astringent, and more mellow, spicy and sweet.
"It tastes good." Guo Houchun praised with a smile.
"It's just that there is less spice, otherwise it tastes better." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.
"What does it taste like?" Yan Chengtao had already entered the kitchen and asked with interest.
"Shopkeeper Yan." Guo Houchun saw Yan Chengtao and said with a smile, "The sauce in our kitchen has been seasoned in Jiuli, and now it has a different taste." ”
Qi Jiuli handed over the bowl, "Shopkeeper Yan, please." ”
Guizi handed over the clean chopsticks, Yan Chengtao dipped the chopsticks on the head, tasted the taste, and smiled, "The contemptible people are looking forward to the new dishes made by the little brother more and more." ”
"Jiuli, Uncle brought the charcoal." Qi Shan moved a large basket of charcoal over, he was so tired that he was out of breath, Yan Chengtao's eyes were made, and Guizi went to bring a cup of tea, Qi Shan drank it with a smile, and after drinking, he gave Qi Jiuli a hand.
Qi Jiuli fried the meat slices in a big pot, put in the old tofu slices after stir-frying the oil, stir-fry over high heat, then add soy sauce and rice wine, scooped a spoonful of seasoned sauce, stir-fried a few times and put it into a small pot.
"Is this fried?" Yan Chengtao was a little surprised, just stir-fried for a while, the old tofu definitely didn't taste much.
"This stove is going to be put on the table?" Guo Houchun asked clearly.
Qi Jiuli nodded, at this time Qi Shan had already lit the stove, Qi Jiuli put the pot on the stove, and the burning charcoal fire slowly made the taste of pork belly and old tofu in the pot come out.
"It's just fried in the pot, and you have to load the pot and move the stove to the guests' tables." Someone questioned.
"It tastes different." Qi Jiuli was not annoyed at all, "And this old tofu is more and more flavorful the more it is cooked, if it is not the old tofu today, it is made of vegetables, and it is also made, and the dry pot always has the unique taste of the dry pot." ”
"What's more, it's still cold now, and there is a dish on the table that is not easy to cool, do you think it will be more popular with guests."
"Can you eat it?" Yan Chengtao asked.
"Yes." Qi Jiuli nodded,
Yan Chengtao directly used the chopsticks he had just used to grab a piece of old tofu and bite it open, the tofu already had some flavor, but there were still some differences in the color between the inside and the outside.
Guo Houchun also took chopsticks to taste it and was amazed, "I didn't expect it to taste so fragrant after adding the sauce." ”
"It's a person who can cook, the whole dish is not watered, soy sauce and rice wine are used as the base soup, and the miso and soy sauce are put in, the saltiness is moderate, is there no salt?" Guo Houchun asked.
Qi Jiuli nodded and gave a thumbs up, "It's worthy of Uncle Jiang." ”
Waiting for the ingredients in the pot to "gurgle" and roll, gradually exuding a fragrant taste, Yan Chengtao and Guo Houchun stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the old tofu again, the juice was full of hot mouth, with a faint spicy taste, stimulating the taste, eat a few more bites, straight to the brain, cool.
After a while, a pot of pork belly and old tofu went halfway down.
Yan Chengtao wanted to clip it again, but was stopped by Guo Houchun, "Jiuli also borrowed an iron plate from me, and the shopkeeper Yan is still waiting for new dishes." ”
When Yan Chengtao heard this, he was reluctant to put down his chopsticks, "The little brother is called Jiuli, as long as the dishes are still so amazing, the charcoal must be wanted, and the price of the dishes is also negotiable." ”
Qi Jiuli was a little embarrassed, "The kid is just a trick, the autumn restaurant already has a great chef like Uncle Jiang, where am I embarrassed to sell these dishes for money." ”
"There is no end to learning, and now because of Jiuli, I have learned new things." Jiang Houchun said with a smile, "By the way, I heard you talk about spices before, I don't know what they are?" ”
"The kid saw in a medical book before that some medicinal materials can be used as spices, also called spices, so I was curious to use them to make dishes and try them, but I didn't expect them to have a different flavor." Qi Jiuli replied, "But not today, use this sauce as a dipping sauce first." ”
Jiang Houchun was a little expectant, "Jiuli, when will I come again, I can't wait." ”
Qi Jiuli has more and more respect for Jiang Houchun, a chef who develops dishes wholeheartedly.
"If you book a charcoal business with Shopkeeper Yan, you will come tomorrow." Qi Jiuli looked at Yan Chengtao and smiled.
"Let's cook, then." Yan Chengtao said with a smile and squinted his eyes, secretly thinking in his heart that he was a shrewd boy.
Remove the small pot on the stove with a cloth towel, add new charcoal again, put it on the iron plate, wait for the iron plate to dry, Qi Jiuli put the pork belly cut into half a centimeter thick, "Wow-", Qi Jiuli put ten pieces in a row, and put shiitake mushrooms and leeks on the side, and through the roasted lard, the shiitake mushrooms and leeks exude oily shine.
Qi Jiuli took the clean chopsticks, turned the ingredients from time to time, and when the pork was roasted and fragrant, he took it out and put it on a clean plate, "Shopkeeper Yan, Uncle Guo, dip it in sauce and eat it." ”
The two couldn't wait to pick up the pork and dip it into the red dipping sauce and put it in their mouths, fragrant and delicious, Yan Chengtao and Jiang Houchun ate pork like this for the first time, and tasted shiitake mushrooms and leeks, "It's delicious." ”
"The point is in this sauce, and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's spices." Yan Chengtao smiled and said, "Let's talk about business now, this big brother." ”
