Chapter 12 Delicious food is comparable to people
In fact, the specifications of each restaurant kitchen are different.
The size, location, and order of each department are all exquisite.
There are many elements involved: the size of the store, the area where the operation is more important, and which department is more important.
Xue Yang's head couldn't think of so much, he just learned the hotel decorations he had seen before.
As soon as you enter the kitchen, you will be greeted by a bright and spacious cold dish and serving section.
The original place was not big, and it could even be said that it was a little cramped, and the first thing you could rely on when you stepped in was the food room.
So Xue Yang and Long Gui laughed and demolished the wall, of course, these problems were negotiated with the landlord next door.
"How does this work?"
"How can guests rest assured?"
Although Xue Yang has never been a restaurant owner, he thinks from the perspective of a diner: "This restaurant even avoids customers, there must be something greasy and unsightly." ”
Yes, since 17 years, Modu has opened up the "selfie" function in the kitchen: put a few more public cameras in the hot food room to use them in turn, in order to reassure customers and eat happily.
Xue Yang is an unwilling ordinary person, if he wants to do it, he must become bigger, stronger, wider, and more popular...... Do.
Therefore, all the standards of Xue Yang Hotel are based on the big hotels, those famous and reputable ancestors......
When Xue Yang saw the first scene, it was a neatly arranged cold food room.
Others may not know the location of the food in the cold food room (including the boss), but the chef must not forget it.
The cold food room must be well ventilated because it is a cold dish that is made here......
A lot of the food in the cold dish is frozen, so you can't expect to order salmon sashimi and someone will drive you to get fresh food, right?
Xue Yang came to the cold iron table with a nervous mood, he hadn't cooked cold dishes for a while.
It is strange to say that an executioner who has even killed people is afraid of something.
On the sleek iron table was a log board, a brand new unused kitchen knife, and a pile of small porcelain bowls that were clean and tidy.
"Crispy okra, salt and pepper peanuts, husband and wife lung slices."
Xue Yang took the invoice and gradually relaxed his brows while muttering.
For him, these dishes are easy to come by, and it is not difficult.
Making money is only secondary, and when the finished meal is delivered to the guests, it is really cool to make others show an expression of enjoyment.
That kind of satisfaction is self-evident, Xue Yang knows it, because he has cooked cold dishes before and knows that feeling.
Scared, worried, nervous, excited......
Everyone must take their job seriously.
Xue Yang frowned and glanced at the small iron box in front of him, picked up the disposable transparent gloves and put them on.
"Crunchy okra ......"
Xue Yang muttered to himself, leaned down to look for the empty bowls that were neatly placed and of different shapes and sizes, and found the pile of small bowls in a corner.
The price tag for crispy okra is not high, but many diners love it.
Not only because it's delicious, but it's also cheap and perfect for the sake of the moment.
Its raw materials are an unopened bag of molded okra, and a small pile of peanuts.
The raw materials can be eaten raw, and the same is true for salt, pepper and peanut rice, which are all ingredients that have been made for a long time.
Cold dishes should come out quickly, be varied, and look good.
Because it is the first feeling that the restaurant brings to the customer, it is also an appetizer.
Have you ever seen someone eat a hot dish first and then a cold one?
No, unless...... That man was a strange man.
The crispy okra method is actually very simple, first fix the position of the porcelain bowl to prevent it from moving.
Then pick up the small round bucket with the peanuts and pour it down.
Some vegetable cooks tend to dump peanuts on the ground and cause waste, and they jump all over the ground at once.
Xue Yang did the same thing before, and he was also scolded by the cold dish master pointing his nose and scolding him in person.
I also thought about secretly pouring a little peanuts and putting them in a small bowl, so that it could be safer.
However, this is actually a test of a person's standard for doing things, and opportunism is not advisable.
Sometimes the cold food room is busy, and when I am busy, I can't wait to have a few more hands, so those little cleverness can't compare to real kung fu.
Salt and pepper peanuts are relatively simple, after pouring them full, use a spoon to pick up some salt and sprinkle them on the peanuts, and shake them left and right unevenly.
Of course, this dish is also to be tasted, no matter how many times you eat it.
Salty? Not brittle? Bad?
When you stand in the cold food room, you find that it's not too late, and the boss won't blame you when he sees it, but when you get to the table, the situation is different.
Customers spend money to spend, what will others think if you are not serious?
Just take money and don't do anything? Fooling yourself?
……
After Xue Yang tasted it, he nodded with a smile, if it weren't for his thin face, he really wanted to shout: "The dishes made by Young Master Ben are still top-notch!" ”
To crisp okra, you need to tear open the bag first, pour the okra into the bowl, put it neatly one by one, and put it in a small round bowl.
Regardless of whether it is cold or hot, it is best not to use the same type of food on the plate, which is easy to make people feel uncomfortable and confuse the public.
If you just look at the plate, if the two dishes are similar, others may think that it is a repetition at first glance, which is easy to mess up!
After the okra is packed and put into a small round bowl, pour the peanuts down, not too little, and not overflow.
It's almost at the mouth of the bowl before you can nod your head contentedly, and put it next to it with salt, pepper and peanuts.
The dish of husband and wife lung slices pays attention to knife skills, and there are a lot of raw materials needed, so this dish is generally put in the back, and many cold dish chefs are also from simple to difficult.
Doing so can give you a little more control and a little comfort.
When others urge the food, he will not be nervous and anxious.
The raw materials of husband and wife lung slices are: beef, beef heart, tripe, beef tendon......
These things need to be frozen, so when they are taken out, they have a thick layer of ice on them.
It needs to be defrosted and heated on a plate, otherwise it won't even be frozen, let alone eaten.
After heating for about five minutes, you can take it out, and Xue Yang can see the steaming breath.
At this time, Xue Yang needs to feel the temperature with the back of his hand, and when he feels that it is suitable, he can carry out the next "project".
Xue Yang nodded with satisfaction, put it on the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife next to it and cut it into slices.
It can't be too thick, it can't be too thin, about a centimeter is just right.
Too thick affects the taste, too thin makes people feel less, and it is easy to cause disputes.
Wait for Xue Yang to sprinkle some pepper oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and monosodium glutamate......
He picked up a piece of the clean communal chopsticks that had been placed next to him and tasted it.
There are also two flavors of husband and wife lung slices, one is lighter and suitable for the elderly and women.
A spicy and sweet flavor that is suitable for heavy diners.
"Hmm."
Xue Yang nodded with satisfaction. A happy expression appeared on his face.
At least he liked this dish, and looking at the deliciousness in his hand, he even had a feeling in his heart that he wanted to secretly hide a copy.
Xue Yang frowned at the delicious food in his hand and thought for a while, thinking why not?
That's right, just do it, he put the already made couple's lung tablets next to it and sealed them with safety film, and made a new one himself.
