When Yun Ming came to the cupboard of the insurance beef, he was not in a hurry to choose the beef immediately, but looked at the beef and considered what kind of beef was most suitable to use.
The beef preserved in this area is not one type of beef, but three varieties of beef, from different parts, and can be divided into different meats, and the use is also very particular, it can be said that there are many types, if you are not a chef, you can't tell one of them.
"Let's use the ox from the plateau cattle. After thinking about it, Yun Ming made a decision.
Niu Lin, selected cattle, the part of the meat of the hind leg of the cow, after fine trimming, remove the gluten oil, without fat, its appearance is long cylindrical shape, the average weight of each piece is 3-4 kg, the meat is red, the feeling is fresh and delicate, the pure lean meat type does not contain artificial water, it is the essence of lean meat.
Yun Ming reached out and picked up a piece of Niu Lin, then turned around and walked to the ingredient area, picking out the ingredients that must be used.
The adjuncts of honey-glazed beef include honey, shiitake mushrooms, magnolia slices, and other ingredients for cooking.
After selecting the beef, trimmings, and ingredients, Yun Ming returned to the kitchen counter and began to process the beef.
He cleaned the cow, then cut it into three pieces and placed it on a clean porcelain plate.
In fact, it is enough to make one serving of honey beef, a slice of beef lin, but in order to avoid failure on the first attempt, it is necessary to make three parts of beef lin first, in case you need it later, and be prepared.
Yun Ming took a piece of Niu Lin, put it on the cutting board, held a small kitchen knife in his right hand, and crossed three cuts on Niu Lin, cutting some openings, so that the beef was like a square, and each grid in the central area was the same size.
He flipped Niu Lin over, and also used a kitchen knife to cut out three staggered openings, the two sides were basically symmetrical, but it would not let the beef collapse, and the knife was very particular.
After cutting Niu Lin's opening, Yun Ming took the honey and directly smeared the honey on Niu Lin with his hands, so that the honey could penetrate the beef.
Honey not only has the effect of preserving freshness, locking the umami of beef, but also has a certain fermentation effect, which can make the meat of beef more soft, better flavored, and not as firm as ordinary beef.
After processing Niu Lin, Yun Ming began to process shiitake mushrooms and magnolia slices, cleaned these two accessories, and then cut them into small slices.
After five minutes of Niu Lin's development, Yun Ming turned on the fire, poured the cooking oil into the wok, poured the mushrooms and magnolia slices into the super, and quickly stir-fried to fry the fragrance.
When the shiitake mushroom slices and magnolia slices are fried until they are eight ripe, Yun Ming puts the marinated beef lin into a pot and deep-fries them over a simmer.
On the other side of the kitchen table, the dishes that Chen Luo was going to make seemed to be more complicated, he returned to the kitchen table earlier than Yun Ming, and it turned out that he hadn't really started cooking food yet.
However, he was still very calm, did not panic at all, and still maintained his self-confidence and felt that he was sure to win.
Many guests in the restaurant watched Yun Ming and Chen Luo cook, although it was not very intense, but it was not too dull, at least everyone was looking forward to it.
At the same time, many customers are betting on the wins and losses of Yunming and Chen Luo, and the handicap is getting bigger and bigger.
Among these bettors, although they have heard a lot of news about Yun Ming, they don't recognize his cooking skills, and most people still think that Chen Luo will win, so when they bet, most of them bet that Chen Luo will win.
"It seems that most people are not optimistic about Yun Ming and think that he will not win. Zhang Ziwen is now leisurely, coming to the side of the betting market, watching these guests bet, muttering slightly, revealing a sly smile.
These guests are betting that Chen Luo will win, and not many people bet on Yun Ming, but the odds of Yun Ming winning have greatly increased, reaching 5 times the odds.
"Anyway, Yun Ming is also my friend, so I'll support him, meaning, I'll press 10,000 spirit crystals. Zhang Ziwen said with a smile.
As he spoke, he handed out a blue card, similar to a bank card, and handed it to the person who recorded the bet on the market.
This kind of card is called the Spirit Crystal Storage Card, which is jointly issued by some Spirit Crystal suppliers and some Chamber of Commerce, you can store the Spirit Crystal in the memory card and hand it over to the Spirit Crystal Chamber of Commerce for temporary safekeeping, if you want to use it, you just need to go to the branch under the name of the United Chamber of Commerce to get it.
There are many such institutions in White Emperor City, and these monks can also trust this kind of institution, and are willing to temporarily deposit the spirit crystals in the institution and let them keep it temporarily.
In general, this kind of memory card is the same as a real-world bank card, but the storage is different, and the effect is the same.
Seeing that Zhang Ziwen was going to bet 10,000 spirit crystals, many guests looked sideways and felt very surprised, they didn't expect him to be so generous.
Is that just a point?
Many guests were not very optimistic about Yun Ming, but seeing Zhang Ziwen bet 10,000 spirit crystals, they changed their minds and tried to bet on Yun Ming, but the bets were not very many.
On the kitchen counter, Yun Ming had already fried Niu Lin, temporarily fished out Niu Lin, and drained the oil.
Next, Yun Ming put all kinds of spices into the wok, stir-fry, slightly fried to bring out the fragrance, then add water starch and honey, boil the sauce to the extent of viscosity, and then put Niu Lin back into the pot, stir-fry with the sauce, and simmer slowly.
After simmering for five minutes, the water in the sauce has almost evaporated, Yun Ming turns off the heat, takes the beef out of the pot, and serves it on a plate.
The boiled honey-glazed beef, wrapped in a translucent red sauce on the outside, looks crystal clear, flashing with a slight red light, filled with heat, wisps of aura ups and downs, and looks very good.
Inside, the beef has been braised and shrunk after cooking, unlike ordinary beef, which is now completely fluffy, as if it has been fermented.
At this time, the honey beef, like a bright red mango that has been cross-cut a few times, is really bright red, and the juice flows out.
Yun Ming didn't directly announce that he had made honey beef, after all, he just looked good, and he didn't know how it tasted, so he couldn't be so reckless.
He picked up the chopsticks next to him and reached for the honey-glazed beef, picking up a small piece of beef.
The honey-glazed beef is very fluffy, like jelly, as long as you hold it with chopsticks, you can hold the pieces of meat, and it is very elastic, and it trembles slightly, so that the sauce is bounced off a little.
Yun Ming put a small piece of honey-glazed beef into his mouth......
