Chapter Seventy-One: The Glittering Kitchen
Zhao Youqian's back kitchen in Longhu Mountain can be said to have no secrets, in fact, these dishes have replaced vegetarian dishes with meat, which is really a meat dish method.
Especially for vegetarian crispy pork and vegetarian spicy chicken, the main effort is deep-frying.
These things have the help of Qi's induction, and the few Taoist priests in charge of the chef in Longhu Mountain, as well as Zhao Huanjin, will not be too difficult to master.
And the essence of batter, Zhao Youqian was not stingy, and taught them little by little.
When it came time to fry the last oyster mushrooms, he switched to another batter.
"If the meat is real, you don't need to wrap it, but after all, it is a vegetarian ingredient, and the batter is also to bring more oily flavor when stir-frying, and the taste should also pursue the feeling of crispy spicy chicken."
Thin the batter so that it will fall off drop by drop when hung on chopsticks, and will not be connected into a line.
"This is flour and starch, two to one is fine, with or without eggs is casual, the main thing is that the paste must be to such an extent, hanging on the ingredients, but not too much, a thin layer is enough!"
Zhao Youqian's teaching does not have any secrets, this kind of experience in judging the degree of batter, sometimes it is not enough to point out, and it also takes a long time to practice, but at least after you point it out, they will have a clear goal when they practice in the future.
The key to this step is to fry the small pieces of oyster mushrooms to the point that they are as crispy as spicy chicken, and do not use too high oil temperature.
turned off the fire, and waited until the oil temperature returned to one hundred and forty or fifty degrees, Zhao Youqian began to put these vegetarian chickens into the oil pot one by one, and waited until all the chickens were in the pot before turning on the medium heat again and slowly heating up.
At the beginning, the low temperature forced out the water in the oyster mushrooms, and it was not overly fried, and the whole oil pan sounded densely 'crackling'.
When the oil temperature rises, and the whole pleurotus shrank to a brownish yellow, slightly close to the sauce color, that is, when the oyster mushrooms are just right, the rain-like sound will gradually become louder and sparse.
After Zhao Youqian scooped up all these vegetarian chickens with a draining net, he added the bean skin in the vegetarian spicy chicken to the pot and oiled it.
"Note that if you're cooking vegetarian dishes, the tofu skin is also fried last."
"Winter melon, taro after the batter is not too strong, but it will also make the oil pot bring a fragrance, and then put the king oyster mushroom to fry, the king oyster mushroom can absorb the taste of other ingredients in the oil pot, become no longer monotonous, more like meat with a mellow bottom taste."
"But the taste of the bean skin itself is strong enough, and once it is put in advance, it will increase the flavor in the oil and destroy the original aroma and taste of the ingredients, so the bean skin must be fried in the back."
"Of course, if you make real meat dishes, a kind of meat is changed for oil, which is the most basic, and you have to pay attention to the production of vegetarian dishes."
Looking at Zhao Huanjin who nodded like pounding garlic, Zhao Youqian didn't care too much, these tips are actually ordinary chefs, but it is not necessarily whether they will teach these monks.
He didn't think that he could teach them to the point of Zhongxing and Gaoxing cooking people in the past few days, which was unrealistic, but it was not difficult to get a few delicious home-cooked dishes.
After all, the technique of home-cooked food is not demanding, and the main thing is to use the word heart!
After all the frying was completed, Zhao Youqian began to process the vegetarian button meat and the vegetarian crispy broth, both of which are steamed dishes that can be made together.
Half of the mushrooms are chopped, half of them are flowered with a knife, and the chopped shiitake mushrooms and umeboshi vegetables are mixed and stir-fried.
I have to say that the plum dried dishes in Longhu Mountain are really good, a few dried chili peppers are fried at the bottom of the pot, first the mushrooms are minced, and then the plum vegetables are added, a few peppercorns are dotted sporadically, and a small half teaspoon of sugar is put to improve the freshness, and then there is soy sauce and oyster sauce.
After all, it's not really a pure vegetarian crowd, so Zhao Youqian's oyster sauce is just put in, if you really face a pure vegetarian, then just put vegetarian oyster sauce.
Zhao Youqian mentioned it carefully, while watching Zhao Huanjin and the others couldn't help but take out their mobile phone records, he didn't care, after all, they are all modern society, and they really can't learn it.
The fried winter melon slices are placed in a bowl and lined with a layer of dark soy sauce and salt, just like a piece of fat pork dyed with sauce, and the fried plum vegetables are stuffed in the middle, and then they are directly put on the steamer and start steaming over high heat.
The fried vegetarian crispy pork is even simpler, sprinkle a bowl with a little pepper, salt, green onion and ginger slices, and then half a bowl of vegetarian crispy meat with half a bowl of water, and add a shiitake mushroom with a good flower knife and a small spoon of fried vegetable oil.
It is also steamed in the pot.
In just such a while, in the two large steamers, there have been more than a dozen bowls of vegetarian button meat and vegetarian crispy broth, which is enough for this meal in Longhu Mountain.
"Well... It's so fast, it's obviously fried in parts, but why doesn't it feel like it's an hour, and basically the dish is done? ”
There was a fireman Taoist priest who looked at Zhao Youqian's figure in disbelief, they had generally just finished cutting and cooking rice at this time, so they didn't just wait for the last dish to fry like Zhao Youqian.
Watching the leisurely Zhao Youqian processing the side dishes of dried chili peppers and spicy chicken.
Hearing the emotion of these people, he turned his head slightly and smiled.
"There is no other hand!"
"In fact, it's just a practice of calligraphy, you still need to cultivate the Tao and practice Qi, and there is no need to learn so much, it is enough to be able to eat healthy and happy in the mountains!"
"It's not a good thing to be too sophisticated!"
Zhao Youqian's meaning was actually very simple, and Zhao Huanjin and the others quickly came back to their senses, knowing that they were also confused by the dishes they sent.
The main thing is the effect, not the taste, as for refining Qi into the dish, after seeing Zhao Youqian's technique, they also have ideas, as long as they can try a few more times, it is not difficult to master.
"Those two dishes are vegetarian ingredients, you don't need to steam for too long, Senior Brother Huanjin, you go and help me see how the rice is, if it's almost over, I'm going to fry the last dish!"
Unlike the gas used when frying vegetables, the two steamed dishes used a wood stove for steaming and cooking rice, which would add a bit of flavor, and Zhao Huanjin didn't mind making a start, and quickly checked it back with small steps.
"Alright, alright! It's time for rice! ”
Nodding, Zhao Youqian waved his hand, and the wok was already on the stove.
"Then it's time to eat!"
As soon as the flames rose, it didn't take long for several rays of light to swell in the back kitchen of Dragon Tiger Mountain, which made the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain who passed by amazed.
I don't know what the hell is going on.
And Zhao Huanjin and the other Taoist priests looked lost and depressed, and entered the dining hall with the prepared meal, and a strange aroma quickly swept the entire dining hall.
No one thought that today's meal would be so tempting, and the disciples of the Longhu Mountain Sect, who had been hungry for a long time, held chopsticks and showed a rare look of longing.
When the Heavenly Master and Tian Lao also appeared in the canteen together, the Taoist priests in the canteen were even more surprised by today's meal.
Suddenly, someone saw that a rather strange young man was also carrying a meal among the Huofu Taoist priests, and the Heavenly Master and Tian Lao were rushing towards him.
Just when these Taoist priests had already begun to whisper, the mixed food that had been opened emitted a faint crystal light, making everyone feel as if they had seen some kind of magic!
"Meals... Meals in the glow??! ”
The exclamation came out, and everyone in the cafeteria stood up.
