Chapter Seventy-Three: Huang Kui and Xuemei
Huang Kui accompanied by Xuemei, Minglan Palace passed on the dishes, and few people among the people heard of it.
Because it is a dish in the palace, the selection of materials is naturally the best, but fortunately, behind Yanchen's small restaurant is Mufu. With Mu Shaobo's ability, the supply to the small restaurant is the best, and it also saves Yan Chen a lot of trouble.
After Yan Chen's explanation, the ingredients needed by Huang Kui and Xuemei were quickly presented in front of him, and this time he did not let the lotus man help deal with it, but personally handled the battle.
Lao Chen could imagine that someone was smashing the field, how could Yanchen's intelligence not know that he was really curious about the people in his heart. In his mind, the person who came may be the same existence as Lao Chen, and his ancestors had the experience of being an imperial chef in the palace, so he ordered a dish that was only available in the palace and had never been heard of by the people to test himself.
"Master, are you really sure?" Lao Chen came to Yan Chen's side worriedly, and on the first day of opening, he encountered a smashing field, and no one was happy about this matter.
"Don't worry, this dish won't bother me. Yan Chen gently patted Lao Chen's shoulder to show reassurance, and looked at the ten fresh prawns in the basin in front of him and groaned for a moment.
These ten live prawns were just sent by Yan Chen, and each one was as long as one palm and two fingers as wide. This shrimp is naturally not an ordinary prawn, but grows in the living water of the place where the aura is abundant, and each shrimp is moistened by the aura since birth, and the meat is fat and high-quality.
Ten prawns are jumping around happily in the water, and the surface of the body is crystal clear, and even the internal organs can be seen clearly. Although it is not a desolate beast, it is nourished by spiritual energy and also reveals a trace of spirituality.
The water in the pot is not ordinary water, but the living water collected from the place where the shrimp grow, and the characteristics of the shrimp are preserved as much as possible, because changing the water and soil will inevitably have a certain impact on the meat quality of the shrimp.
Yan Chen gently stretched out a finger and put it into the water, and the finger shook gently in the water, and the water surface rippled in circles. That finger seemed to have magical power, and the ten prawns it attracted formed a circle and swallowed bubbles.
Although the place where the shrimp grows is extremely pure, the living water of the origin is also used during transportation without a trace of pollution, but Yanchen's extreme requirements for food are not allowed to affect the ingredients, even if there is only a trace of it.
What he is doing now is to use the method of purifying the ingredients recorded in the "Chef God Fat Master's Heart Method", and use the shaking of his fingers to drive the true yuan to vibrate in the water, peeling off the impurities that are not visible to the naked eye that the ingredients are contaminated, so as to restore the most natural and innocent taste of the ingredients.
The cleaned prawns lay comfortably on the cutting board and stretched out, completely oblivious to what was coming, and the glistening kitchen knife gently cut through the shell, and the shrimp line was picked out as soon as the tip of the knife picked up. Yan Chen's fingers pinched lightly, and the shrimp meat was completely peeled out of the shell without any damage, and the life of a shrimp ended without any pain.
"Master, I finally understand why your dish is so delicious, just this prawn, the meat that dies in the most comfortable way is definitely more delicious than the one that dies in pain. Lao Chen, who witnessed how Yanchen handled the ingredients throughout the whole process, was really convinced.
"This is only part of it, Young Master Yan has other means that you haven't seen. Lao Wang said a little proudly on the side, he was a little complacent after seeing Yanchen's cooking skills many times.
"You talk a lot. Lao Chen rolled his eyes resentfully, turned his head and stopped talking to Lao Wang.
Just as the two were arguing, Yan Chen had already processed the remaining nine prawns according to the previous method, and the white shrimp meat was spread on the cutting board full and elastic.
Yan Chen gently stroked the shrimp meat, felt the elasticity of the meat and nodded with satisfaction, picked up the kitchen knife and slashed horizontally on the shrimp meat a few times, and then modified it a few times, and a piece of shrimp meat was cut into several even shrimp balls. He also prepared the rest of the shrimp meat in the same way, and then placed it on a plate, adding a little old wine and salt to taste.
Next, Yan Chen picked up a piece of Jiuluo pig meat with three fat and two lean, first slice it into thin slices, and then cut it into thin strips, "Da Da" chopped for a while, the fat and thin evenly mixed meat foam was chopped, some sesame oil was added, some seasoning was sprinkled and stirred evenly, and then put aside for later use.
Then he took a few eggs laid by the phoenix chickens that grew up with herbs and insects, mixed them with an appropriate amount of starch and water, stirred them in the pot and spread out more than 20 thin round cakes, wrapped some egg dumplings with the meat filling prepared before, patted a thin layer of flour on the surface, and put them in the egg batter left over from the previous egg cakes and rolled around, and dipped some white buns cut into pieces for later use.
Take another phoenix egg, skim off the yolk and don't just leave the egg white. Add a little starch to make an egg batter, stir and spread on the egg dumplings, add a little salt to the remaining egg batter, mix well and set aside.
Finally, take out a few sweet and sour red fruits, cut them into fine cubes, put them in a pot and stir-fry them into sauce, then add sugar, salt, a little starch, add water to make sweet and sour juice for later use.
At this point, all the raw materials needed for Huang Kui and Xuemei were prepared, and Yanchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the oil is warm, pour the previous egg batter into the pan and stir-fry, remove a flat plate and spread it in the middle. At this time, the shrimp balls have been stacked with a good taste, add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot again, burn to about forty percent, the shrimp balls are quickly fried in the pot, pour in the sweet and sour juice and stir-fry twice, and stack them on the fried egg batter in the middle of the plate.
The egg dumplings wrapped in white buns are lightly fried in oil, placed in a circle around the shrimp balls on a flat plate, fresh coriander takes young leaves, smokes dried bacon and finely minces and scatters it on the plate.
"It smells so good. The fragrance of shrimp meat mixed with the unique rich flavor of egg dumplings wafted in the entire back kitchen, and penetrated into the nostrils of the people in the back kitchen who had been staring at Yan Chen's movements, and they couldn't help but close their eyes when they smelled this aroma, and there seemed to be a scene of fish and shrimp swimming happily in the water in front of them.
"This ......" After the young tilt, everyone woke up one after another, looking at Yan Chen in shock, they really couldn't imagine what kind of cooking skills they had to be able to arouse people's senses with the aroma of the dishes.
"It turns out that this is the rumored Huang Kui and Xuemei that can only be eaten in the Minglan Palace?" The door curtain was lifted, Mu Hai closed his eyes and walked in with his nose twitching, followed by Mu Nianwei and Mu Lan, two sisters who left the work at hand, as soon as they entered the door, they went straight to Huang Kui and Xuemei on the table, and saw that the saliva between the corners of his mouth had slowly seeped out.
"Yan, Yan, Brother Yan, that's all right, why don't I try it first and see what it looks like?" Mu Hai smashed his mouth twice, and the thief came over.
"While playing. Yan Chen slapped away Mu Hai's claws stretched out to the plate, "There is still one step left to complete." ”
"What's the difference, isn't this good, it's fragrant. Mu Hai, who was ruthlessly slapped away, muttered dissatisfiedly, Yan Chen didn't pay attention to him, mobilized the true yuan to transport it to his hand, and with a "poof" sound, a brilliant swaying flame appeared in his hand.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, Yan Chen flicked his fingers and shot the real fire at the dishes on the plate, "Hey, Brother Yan, what are you going to do!" Mu Hai, who was closest to him, noticed that something was wrong for the first time, and shouted anxiously, but unfortunately it was too late for the real fire to act.
"Huh? "The imaginary scene of a plate of delicacies turning to ashes did not happen, and the real fire fell on the plate and bloomed into a beautiful flame flower, which was fleeting. When you look at it again, the color of the dish on the plate is brighter, and the flavor is even stronger.
"I'm going to serve the food to this table myself. Yan Chen picked up the dishes and ignored the stunned crowd, and strode out of the back kitchen.
