Chapter 223: Cooked oil and spicy seeds
This special add-on contest has a very simple question.
It's very simple.
It was so simple that all the contestants were unbelievable, so much so that several contestants thought they had misheard and asked the host what the topic was.
The host continued very calmly:
"You heard it right, tonight's extra game is about making a can of chili oil!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
Chili oil?
How can such a question come up, isn't that a very simple thing, who can't make chili oil, chili noodles mixed with hot oil, isn't it how simple and how simple it is?
Everyone wondered and summed up, the competition project has been decided, no matter how many doubts there are in their hearts, they must be implemented in accordance with the regulations.
So, each stood in front of a stove and began to prepare.
As the host started, the contestants began to get busy.
When Zhang Jun heard that he wanted to make chili oil, he was not as confused as other contestants, and he was quite happy because he had a unique secret recipe for refining chili oil.
A crucial competition for me happened to meet what I was best at.
Zhang Jun felt that his luck was really good, so he rubbed his palms and prepared to start.
Everyone can choose raw materials and propose them to the staff, Zhang Jun told the staff what he wanted, there are twenty or thirty kinds of things.
When he heard so many things, the staff member was visibly surprised.
Probably I've never seen anyone who needs so many ingredients to make a spicy dish, and after listening to it, the man asked Zhang Jun again to confirm:
"These things, just make a spicy one?"
"That's right."
Nodding, he recorded all the dishes according to the staff, and then went to ask the next contestant. Zhang Jun looked at the countertop, and each person was allocated a large jar of oil.
He stepped forward and just lifted the lid, and a huge strong fragrance immediately emanated from the jar.
Quickly picked up the spoon on the side and scooped a spoonful and poured it down, under the light, the color of the vegetable oil was a bright golden yellow, and the texture was very thick.
With this color, fragrance and texture, Zhang Jun can be sure that this is the best and freshest rapeseed oil that has just been pulled from the oil mill.
Zhang Jun had lived in Rongzhou before, and he knew that the people in this place especially liked this fragrant rapeseed oil.
This oil went to the north, but it was not so popular.
Many northerners have eaten peanut oil, which has a special aroma, but they don't eat it much.
And the people of Rongzhou, no matter what they eat, they can't do without this thing.
Zhang Jun remembers very well that he came back once three years after leaving Rongzhou, and stayed at a friend's house that night, and the first thing he did was to go to the kitchen of his friend's house, open the oil jar, and take a deep breath.
At that moment, Zhang Jun felt that he had finally returned to his hometown.
Like Zhang Jun, most Rongzhou people have this habit. When they arrived in the north, they couldn't smell the fragrant and pure rapeseed oil, and they felt that the food was not fragrant, so they were haunted by this taste all day long.
Now, Zhang Jun is very excited when he sees this can of rapeseed oil.
Because he knows that the best red oil is the freshest rapeseed oil that needs to be refined, which is the foundation and the foundation, and if there is no such thing, no matter how good other places are, it will be in vain.
Moreover, with this concentration of rapeseed oil of this quality, the rapeseed used is also the best autumn rapeseed.
Generally, rapeseed on the market is marketed at the turn of spring and summer.
Although the taste of this clear oil squeezed from rapeseed is also very fragrant, the heaviness is much worse. If you choose rapeseed that is marketed in autumn, the oil and flavor of this rapeseed will increase a lot after a day of summer exposure.
So, quality determines the price.
Most people who can eat it will choose this rapeseed oil, which has caused a shortage of supply.
Therefore, the market price of rapeseed oil in autumn is several times higher than that of ordinary rapeseed oil, and it can be sold for about thirty or forty-one catties.
Zhang Jun also went home for the New Year's Festival, so he would find a relationship to buy some of this.
I looked at the label on the oil can, which said "Intercontinental Hotel Exclusive", and couldn't help but praise in my heart, it seems that the materials used in this Intercontinental Hotel are so hardcore, and it seems that their executive chef requirements are really strict.
Zhang Jun is not yet thirty years old.
His dream is to one day, like Song Kun, to become the executive chef of a five-star hotel.
It is said that the line is the champion, a long time ago, the identity of the cook was looked down upon, Zhang Jun did not study, so he could only do this, but he didn't want to accept his fate, so he came to participate in the competition.
Song Kun is the goal he strives for.
If one day Zhang Jun himself sat in such a high position, he would also ask for ingredients and raw materials, and he couldn't be sloppy at all.
After all, only the best raw materials make the best tasting things.
This point, all chefs, have figured it out.
Ignited the fire, Zhang Jun gently poured it into the hot pot, the taste of the vegetable oil was so fragrant that Zhang Jun felt that cooking was a process of enjoyment.
The vegetable oil in the air, forming a downward liquid, is as beautiful as flowing gold.
When the vegetable oil is heated over low heat, the surface gradually forms small bubbles, and the dense floating surface slowly breaks one by one as the heat rises.
The best and freshest canola oil has this quality.
At this time, don't worry, you must wait until all the bubbles are gone, and the rape is completely cooked.
So, during this period, Zhang Jun can do something else.
And the staff over there have already sent all the things that Zhang Jun needs. Grabbed a handful of shallots and twisted them into a lump, then sliced the ginger, and while there were still half bubbles on the hot oil, Zhang Jun threw them into the oil pan.
I only heard the sound of "hula", and many blisters bubbled up from the fried green onion and ginger.
At the same time, don't force out all the fragrances of the two.
Then the addition of star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves and other spices, this pot of rapeseed oil exuded an attractive fragrance, and even the spicy shrimp aunt not far from him couldn't help but look back at him.
I sighed twice in my heart, this person really has two brushes.
The oil and spicy seeds made by Aunt Spicy Shrimp are much simpler than Zhang Jun in oil refining, and she didn't put any spices in the oil and water, but just added a secret recipe.
This secret recipe makes the cold dishes in the restaurant taste long aftertaste.
I have been in business for so many years, and I have done this for many years, and the customers who have eaten it have been praised constantly.
