Yes, since it is so difficult to make chicken innovation, why do you have to make chickens?

Isn't it good to be a pigeon?

If you want to make a pigeon, you can add a turtle to it, and it becomes an excellent match.

Of course, this excellent match also has to add certain auxiliary materials to make it more perfect.

Ivan began to think about new ideas from the perspective of health care.

Pigeon meat has the effect of nourishing the liver and strengthening the kidneys, invigorating qi and blood, clearing heat and detoxifying, and quenching thirst.

Turtle meat has the effects of nourishing qi and replenishing deficiency, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, benefiting the kidneys and strengthening the body, and purifying blood and dispersing knots.

Cooking and eating pigeon meat with turtle meat can play a very good role in nourishing yin and kidneys, nourishing qi and blood, moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

In addition, the combination of soft-shelled turtle and wolfberry also complements each other, which can strengthen the kidneys and prolong life, and the combination of pigeon meat and wolfberry can also play a therapeutic role in replenishing physical weakness, waist and knee soreness and softness.

The first auxiliary material was determined by Ivan.

Chinese wolfberry.

The second auxiliary material was also quickly settled on by Ivan.

Yam.

Yam has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, nourishing the lungs and kidneys, nourishing and strong, and the pigeon meat, in addition to the effect of tonifying the liver and kidneys, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, it can also prevent cancer to a certain extent, and nourish the body of cancer patients.

In addition, if Ivan wants to refer to the method of Farewell My Concubine to cook turtle pigeon pairing, yam can replace the current carrot to put on the plate.

Other excipients were also quickly listed by Ivan.

Three or two shiitake mushrooms, a little white fungus, five or six red dates, a little ginger, green onions, and cooking wine.

Of course, the most important thing is that you can't lose the flavor of the appendage: Jinhua ham slices.

This is the finishing touch of the dish of Farewell My Concubine.

Ivan knew it.

Once the main ingredients and accessories are determined, the next thing to consider is the cooking method.

In fact, there is no need to think too much about the cooking method.

Compared with chicken, pigeon meat is more nutritious and tender, and if the pigeon meat is stir-fried, it tastes good, but there is a lot of loss of nutrients.

Therefore, in Cantonese cuisine, the most common cooking method of pigeons is to stew and roast, even if it is a famous pigeon chain restaurant, these two cooking methods are mainly used.

Then don't think about it.

The most suitable cooking method for this turtle pigeon stew is to stew.

This is also in line with the practice of the bowl overlord Farewell Concubine in front of Ivan.

"Let's go, go to the vegetable market. ”

Ivan staggered to his feet.

He remembers that in the vegetable market in Jinling, there were turtles and pigeons for sale.

Because the idea was mature, he couldn't hold it back.

This made Fang Yizhi a little puzzled, he pointed to the overlord Farewell Concubine and a few other dishes on the table: "Teacher, we haven't finished eating yet." ”

Only Dong Xiaowan knows that there will be no shortage of food in the future.

She couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Fang, let's go, wait for some to be delicious, I guarantee that you will vomit until you eat it." ”

This made Ivan a little embarrassed.

He knows that a chef is never short of food.

There is a saying that "the cook will not die of hunger in a bad year", which means that no matter how difficult the year is, the chef can find something to eat.

And a new product trial production maniac like him will not be short of food.

Dong Xiaowan, as a taster, naturally understands this.

Well, then one more trash can.

In Ivan's opinion, all the trial products that do not meet his mind are garbage, and of course the garbage has to be emptied into the trash can, and it is not appropriate to let Dong Xiaowan be the trash can.

Just go.

Ivan turned around and walked away, on a trip to buy groceries.

To be honest, it is really a costly thing to develop new dishes, and the development method like Ivan is completely a matter of only input and no output, whether it is in reality or in a copy, it is a very expensive thing.

It's a little better in the dungeon, at least there is the 1,000 taels of silver that sold the secret recipe of the squirrel fish as a foreshadowing.

In reality, it's more sad, Ivan's own income is not high, and his savings are not much, but recently he has been buying all kinds of chef supplies and trial ingredients, and the money is flowing out, which really makes him feel a little distressed.

Gotta find a way to make some money.

It's the same in reality, and it's the same in copies.

Ivan had such a thought again.

But for him now, he has to put his energy into two things first.

One is of course Lao Jiang's competition.

Only by helping Lao Jiang win the competition can he make plans in the future.

The second thing is to let Xiaowan's private restaurant open smoothly.

The smooth opening of Xiaowan's private dishes is not difficult, at least, if it is just selling soup dumplings and crystal shrimp dumplings, it can be opened to the public at any time.

It's not difficult to say, but the most troublesome part is that the whole fish feast dish that Ivan is going to make is not yet perfect.

But now, Ivan still has to make the turtle pigeon stew that suits his heart.

As soon as the required ingredients were purchased, Ivan immediately returned to the Moon Tower and began the trial production of turtle pigeon stew.

Although it was the first time to concoct it, Ivan still had a relatively clear idea.

In the processing of Cantonese cuisine, because it pays attention to light and original flavor, and does not use seasonings that are too heavy, the processing requirements for ingredients are particularly delicate.

In the case of this turtle pigeon stew, there are some things that must be done before it is officially stewed.

For example, after the turtle is slaughtered, the skin of the turtle must be removed, and then the blood foam is blanched with boiling water.

The same is true for the pigeons after they are slaughtered.

The reason why I do this is to get rid of the fishy smell.

This is an inevitable step in a top-notch delicacy.

When it is simmered, there is also a lot of attention to it.

In the case of the main soft-shelled turtle and pigeon meat, the tenderness of the two types of meat is obviously different, and the simmering time should also be different.

In the same way, because of the different materials, the time of adding various auxiliary materials will be different, such as wolfberry, you have to add it last, and you can't cook it for too long, otherwise it will be rotten.

This is called heat.

For a delicacy, heat is very important, and Ivan's next trial production process lies in the control of the heat.

He moved skillfully.

Compared to his previous innovative dishes, this turtle and pigeon stew is relatively time-consuming.

This time-consuming is not a complicated process, but a stewing method, which is more suitable for slow boiling in a clay bowl.

To be honest, if you follow the practice of Cantonese old fire soup, two hours is far from enough, and Ivan can only settle for a little now.

He knew that this kind of compromise would definitely have a little sacrifice in taste, but it was also a last resort.

"Teacher, are you going to make this dish, do you want to make some more fish or something?"

Fang Yizhi, who had been watching curiously, put forward another non-point request because he hadn't eaten enough.

Obviously, he was still obsessed with the two first-tasting fish dishes that Ivan had made.

Ivan frowned.

Fang Yizhi's question can be regarded as adding a small block to him.

According to his positioning, the main dish of Xiaowan's private cuisine is fish and shrimp, but this does not mean that there will not be other high-quality delicacies here.

There is only one thing, that is, this turtle pigeon stew, even if it is successfully tried to make a high-quality delicacy, it is estimated that it will not be able to be served here.

Alas, the abominable food rushes together.
