Chapter 44: Top!
Five kinds of fillings, five cages of shrimp dumplings, a total of thirty, were brought to the back kitchen by Ivan and Dong Xiaowan, and then put on the steamer.
Ivan pinched the time.
After five minutes, the cage is immediately released.
Compared with steamed buns, dumplings are thinner in skin, and steamed shrimp meat is too old and tough, which affects the texture, so steaming for about five minutes is the most appropriate.
"Taste it, how does it taste?"
Because it was the first food he tried to make after he had the kitchen god system, Ivan didn't dare to try it easily because he was too much to look forward to.
He handed over the first tasting right to Dong Xiaowan.
It's time for her to play to what she does best.
Ivan believes that she is the kind of person who has a super sense of taste.
Dong Xiaowan was already a little impatient.
She carefully picked up the chopsticks and the small bowl, and first picked up a dumpling from the first cage and put it into the small bowl.
Color and fragrance, shape and meaning.
She muttered in her heart the six-character mantra that Ivan had taught her to taste food, resisted the urge to eat it immediately, and carefully observed.
"Today's crystal skin is more transparent than yesterday's. ”
She started by saying the first advantage.
Ivan: "......"
It's a must.
In many cases, handmade products may appear more sincere, and may also maintain a better texture.
However, it does not include flour and mung bean flour.
The quality of the high-quality flour and mung bean flour processed by the machine in strict accordance with the process is by no means comparable to the manual grinding and refining of this era.
At the very least, the precision of the tools is far from the machines of later generations.
In this way, through the crystal clear dumpling skin, you can clearly see the colorful filling inside, and the color alone can be called the top quality. ”
Dong Xiaowan gave his second evaluation.
Ivan nodded.
That's what he thinks himself.
Don't talk about anything else about these dumplings, they look really good.
The red and white shrimp puree, the pink and white pork filling, the green green onion, and the golden skin jelly soup are mixed together, and when you look through the dumpling skin, you can really give people the desire to move their appetite.
Dong Xiaowan put the dumplings to her nose again and sniffed them.
"This fragrance is also great, I haven't eaten it yet, through the dumpling skin, I can already smell the aroma of green onions, the freshness of meat, and the sweet aroma of shrimp. ”
Another review came out.
Ivan also picked up a dumpling with a small bowl and chopsticks, put it to his nose and smelled it.
He smelled the aroma of dumplings and the fragrance of green onions, but he couldn't distinguish the aroma of meat and shrimp.
She really has a super sense of taste!
"Go on. ”
Dong Xiaowan blew the steaming shrimp dumplings with her mouth, and finally brought it to her mouth and took a bite gently.
She frowned, then chewed on.
This frown made Ivan lift his heart.
Could it be that the taste is not good?
Fortunately, after Dong Xiaowan chewed it carefully for a while, she swallowed it and then spoke.
"It's delicious!"
She had a happy expression.
Ivan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've never eaten such delicious dumplings! The shrimp meat inside is really tender, smooth and fresh, and the taste is also great!"
After sighing with emotion, Dong Xiaowan's specific comments also followed.
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a wave of consciousness suddenly appeared in his mind again.
"Ding, the host has successfully developed a top-grade second-class delicacy, and 2,000 points will be awarded, and I hope the host will make persistent efforts. ”
And so came the surprise.
He never expected that there would be a reward for developing a high-quality delicacy, and the reward was not cheap.
His points were originally negative, but now they are positive.
Could it be ...... systemWhich is meant to encourage innovation?
Suppressing the joy in his heart, he said, "Go on." ”
Dong Xiaowan replied playfully: "The color and fragrance are all top-grade, and the shape and meaning will not be commented on for the time being." ”
This is Ivan's last comment on soup dumplings.
This dumpling was made by herself, so she naturally did not comment on the shape, even if she was very satisfied with the exquisite style of the dumpling.
Can't boast.
As for the evaluation of Yiheyang, she hasn't learned it yet.
After finishing speaking, she stuffed the remaining half of the dumplings into her mouth in one bite and chewed them regardless of the image.
Ivan smiled helplessly.
He found it a pleasure to stay and work with such a young and beautiful and playful little girl.
Not to mention, her disregard for her image made him move his index fingers and have the urge to taste it.
No hurry!
After Dong Xiaowan swallowed it, he immediately handed over a cup of warm water that had already been prepared.
"Rinse your mouth, taste the second, and savor the difference between the two. ”
"Ahh ”
Obviously, Dong Xiaowan didn't expect Ivan's tasting requirements to be so high.
Instead of receiving water, she picked up another dumpling in the first cage and stuffed it into her mouth.
Ivan: "......"
Are you looking for an excuse to eat more delicious shrimp dumplings?
However, he saw that Dong Xiaowan was indeed chewing slowly this time.
After swallowing, she also tasted it, and then put down her chopsticks and stretched out her hand to Ivan: "Water." ”
Ivan hurriedly handed over the water.
After rinsing her mouth carefully, Dong Xiaowan stretched out her chopsticks to the second cage and began to repeat the previous movements.
After a few moments, her opinion came out.
"Wow, this cage has a better taste! Especially the shrimp meat, it seems to be more elastic and refreshing when chewed!"
Dong Xiaowan said in a somewhat surprised tone: "It turns out that a little difference in salt has such a big impact on the texture of shrimp meat!"
Ivan: "......"
It's a given!
This is the conclusion of celebrity chefs after a lot of experimentation.
This is why some meats must be salted before cooking.
The same is done with salt, which is added during the cooking process, and there is a big difference between salting it in advance and marinating it in advance, and here's why.
During the cooking process, the cells of the meat have been destroyed by the high temperature, so the role of salt is more just a difference between saltiness and lightness.
Pickling is different.
A good marinating recipe can greatly improve the taste and texture of meat.
For example, the popularity of squirrel fish made by Chef Zheng has a lot to do with his pickling secret.
"Go on, cage three. ”
Since a total of five cages have been trial-made, Ivan has to let Dong Xiaowan taste them one by one, and then choose the best of them.
Dong Xiaowan repeated the previous action again.
This time, she didn't rush to comment, but tasted all the back cages, and then her opinion came out.
"I like the fourth cage the most, this one tastes similar, but the shrimp meat is more elastic and refreshing. ”
She added: "I feel that the shrimp meat in the fifth cage is a little tougher." ”
In this way, the texture of this fourth cage should be the best!
Ivan rinsed his mouth carefully, picked up his chopsticks again, and stretched out to the steamer.
It was the first high-quality food he had ever developed, and he had to taste it himself.
"Derpy, what are you doing?"
There was a thunderous shout in his ears.
It's Chef Zheng!
