Chapter Twenty-Five: Simple Difficulties
Li Muchen has a plan and can only do his best to see which step he can take, but now he can only take one step at a time, he has announced the closure of business a few days ago, and there is no way to open again, so he immediately arranged for the people who remained in the store to help.
The group came to the kitchen, Li Muchen rarely has a hotel kitchen on weekdays, and now when he comes in, he feels that it is a bit like the imperial kitchen in Zhanxing South, which is a traditional manual operation, even if there is high technology on the market that can replace labor, Li Decheng still did not replace it.
Huang Dahl sighed a little: "This is the boss's persistence in the tradition, we must try our best to keep it, after two generations of your family's hard work, my father and I have been watching this store with your grandfather, and I can't help but feel a little sad if I want to be transformed!" ”
As he spoke, he wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle Huang, I'm sorry for you, let's start!" Li Muchen could feel that Huang Da didn't think she had a chance of winning, but she wouldn't give up, even if she could only serve one dish.
Huang Dahl came back to his senses when he heard this: "Okay, let's try fried rice first, I recommend choosing the simple and extreme egg fried rice, Zhang Copying Rice and other Huli fancy must have seen too much, as long as we can present the most exquisite and simplest, we still have a winning rate!" ”
"Okay, then egg fried rice, I'll fry a version first, and then Uncle Huang will guide you." Li Muchen is still confident in egg fried rice.
Huang Da saw that Li Muchen was full of confidence, and his gloomy mood eased a little, and nodded seriously.
Egg fried rice is a simple home-cooked staple dish, which is fast, salty, and the most important thing is to remove the fishy smell of the eggs, as well as the heat!
After starting a fire, burning oil, and putting coarse salt, after making this series of preparations, Li Muchen shouted softly: "Rice! ”
An employee who had beaten down brought a bowl of hot rice, and Huang Dahl wanted to speak again, but still did not speak. Li Muchen took the rice, it was still steaming hot, and her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, she clearly remembered that when her father made egg fried rice for her when she was a child, she said that she must use cold rice, so that she can have the taste that egg fried rice should have!
"Don't you even know that the most basic requirement for egg fried rice is cold rice?"
Li Muchen's serious voice sounded in the kitchen, his face was cold, and there was no trace of the unseriousness of the previous hippie smile, and the employee reacted and said sorry and quickly changed the bowl of cold rice. Huang Dahl behind him showed a hint of relief on his face, it seems that Li Muchen's fight this time is not a joke, and he must do his best to help her.
Li Muchen used her momentum to inspire the crowd, her mind was all on this night's egg fried rice, poured the rice into the red-hot pot, and flattened it. Wait until the rice is bubbling and fragrant and becomes full, then beat two eggs and stir well, add chicken essence, cooking wine, five-spice powder, and secret ginger and garlic juice and stir evenly. Before I got out of the pot, I smelled a faint fragrance! Pour it evenly into the pot and spread a layer on top of the rice, which is the habit of cooking in Zhanxingnan. Most people are used to pouring directly in the middle, so it loses its beauty and is uneven!
Steam the rice over high heat, and wait until the eggs are half-cooked and stick to the rice, then start stir-frying, and then the egg liquid and rice are evenly mixed!
Stir-fry for a minute, then serve, and finally add the garnished shallots on top! A plate of egg fried rice that is ready in less than twenty minutes!
"Let's try it!"
The appearance is very good, and even Huang Dahl on the side nodded again and again, but there are no surprises in this and ordinary egg fried rice. Everyone took a spoon and scooped it up, everyone praised it endlessly, Huang Dahl also tasted it, Li Muchen's cooking skills were indeed much stronger than a few months ago, but this was just delicious, and even everyone didn't show a very surprised look.
Li Muchen was not satisfied with this result, and tasted it himself, although it was indeed not bad, but it was not as delicious as his father's fried when he was a child. She shook her head slowly: "It can't just be delicious!" ”
Huang Da didn't say much when he heard that Li Muchen knew what the problem was, and he also made a version of egg fried rice, although it was also very simple, but the taste was more textured and fulfilling than hers.
"Miss taste, you don't have to fix it in your father's mind, just now this fried rice let me see the shadow of your father making this egg fried rice!" Huang Dahl said lightly.
Li Muchen tasted it, it was indeed more delicious than his own, and he asked humbly: "Uncle Huang, I see that you didn't put anything fishy, how did you get rid of the fishy smell in that egg?" And there is a faint sour taste, which is very appetizing. ”
"This!" Huang Dahl took out a small jar of sour plum from the side, "We have to be good at using the ingredients available around us to create a different flavor from the traditional taste, which is what diners expect." ”
Li Muchen nodded, what she has to do now is not how to optimize the taste of egg fried rice, but how to innovate this traditional rice.
Time passed slowly, and the sun also walked from the east to the west, Li Muchen looked at the big table full of fried rice in front of him with sweat, and the more he made it, the more dissatisfied he became!
