Bamboo shoots, there is a way is "fresh to beautiful, vegetable food".

Common, divided into spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots:

Every time it rains in spring, the new bamboo shoots come out of the mud, and the spring bamboo shoots after opening the bamboo shell are as tender as white jade, and the taste is crisp;

In the cold winter, the winter bamboo shoots hidden deep in the soil are more plump in appearance, and the taste is delicate and tender.

Spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots, these two are like a small jasper and a young woman in the boudoir, and the diners have their own love.

In addition to these two, there are also seasonal bamboo shoots in the hot summer.

The sweet dragon bamboo shoots produced in the Yunling area are one of the bamboo shoots that go on the market in July and August.

Facing Xia Miao's inquiring gaze, Luo He explained:

"Bamboo shoots have a bitter taste, and the chef needs to add an extra process of "de-bittering".

However, sweet dragon bamboo shoots do not need to be bitter, and even do not need condiments, and they can taste fresh and sweet when stir-fried.

What I asked the pet beast to pick in the mountains is the sweet dragon bamboo shoots. ”

Sweet dragon bamboo?

Xia Miao didn't know much about this thing, but it didn't prevent her from convincing the boy with her cooking.

"It can be seen that you really want to win sister."

Xia Miao's eyes fluttered, and he chuckled: "That sister also has to show some real skills." ”

Seeing her take out a jar of honey, Luo He was a little surprised: "Killer honey? ”

"That's right, but unfortunately there is no reward."

Natsuae carefully brushes the honey on the surface of the beef on the cutting board.

Honey has the effect of tenderizing the meat, thus reducing the simmering time.

Immediately, she put on clear gloves and kneaded the beef. This process, called 'tumbling', aims to shorten the marinating period and improve the tenderness of the finished dish.

After completing this step, Xia Miao took off her gloves, washed her hands, and held a sharp, snow-white Western-style chef's knife with a sharp and snow-white blade, her eyes flashing with a glimmer.

A flash of cold light.

Almost invisible, she had cut the cuts of beef from the cutting board into small steaks.

This is a manifestation of the knife work that has been perfected and processed quickly, accurately and steadily.

Luo He couldn't help but exclaim: "What a superb knife work." ”

Xia Miao ignored it, lit the stove fire, held the pan, and fried the beef on all sides of the hot pan until it changed color.

The beef smokes in the pan, giving it a burnt brown color and an enticing aroma wafting through the air.

Xia Miao sniffed the fragrance, the corners of her mouth involuntarily raised, and explained: "When the temperature of the oil pan reaches 140 degrees to 160 degrees, the beef will undergo a 'Maillard reaction' to enhance the flavor and aroma. ”

Luo He nodded like a cooker watching from the sidelines: "Similarly, there is the caramelization reaction, which can be used in the dessert field, and it is a browning phenomenon like the Maillard reaction. ”

"Not bad, a little bit of a foundation." Xia Miao smiled and said, "Help me get the plate." ”

Chef Luo hadn't beaten anyone for a long time, and now he was very interested in Xia Miao's French approach, and handed over the plate.

Xia Miao took out the fried steak and poured vinegar into the brown layer that remained at the bottom of the pan, and the rich aroma of the charred aroma spread instantly.

"Keep the bottom of these pots and pour them in when the stew is ready." Xia Miao sniffed the fragrance and sighed, "These are all essences. ”

There was an induction in the pet beast space.

The 'pufferfish' car released by Xiao Jiu has turned on the AI assistance function and drove to the bottom of the mountain to apply for assistance.

Luo He's heart moved, looked at Xia Miao, and said, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

"Hmm...... Then chop up the onions, carrots, and celery for me to stir-fry later. Xia Miao said.

Onions, carrots and celery, three ingredients stir-fried in oil and stewed in water, are extremely common in Western food practices, which can play a role in removing fish, fragrance and flavor.

Luo He complied, took the square-headed kitchen knife he had in hand, and handled the ingredients cleanly, causing Xia Miao to look back frequently.

"He's pretty good at knives." Xia Miao started to love talents, and said in his heart, "There are few breeders in the Hunters' Club, if he can join in, I will have more hands, which is also very good." ”

The chopped onion, carrot slices, and celery in the pan are shiny and fragrant as they are stir-fried.

Xia Miao took out the chopped vegetables and put them in a saucepan with the beef she had just made, and poured the brown liquor from the bottom of the pot with the red wine.

"Next, it's time to add spices."

Xia Miao took out a bag of spice packets, and couldn't see the raw materials inside, but she exuded a rich aroma.

Luo He couldn't even smell the ratio of spices for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Which spices are they?" ”

"It's a secret weapon."

Xia Miao said: "I call it, 'Xia Miao's Herb Bunch'. ”

Herb bunches are a combination of herbs used in French cooking for stewing, often bundled into a bunch or placed in a small net bag, and removed after the stew is completed.

There are hundreds of combinations of herbs, and Xia Miao's insights into spices are hidden in her use of herb bunches.

Even Luo He couldn't completely judge the ratio of vanilla in the herb bunch, and muttered:

"I could only smell thyme, rosemary and bay leaves...... You should have also put a spice. ”

Xia Miao glanced at Luo He in surprise, and became more and more appreciative of this young man, pretending to be coquettish, and said, "I won't tell you for the time being."

Immediately, Xia Miao poured canned tomatoes into the pot to increase the viscosity of the soup and simmered.

"As you stew, the flavor of the vanilla bunch will become more and more pronounced, enough to attract the beauty under the moon to bloom."

Xia Miao looked at Luo He and said with a smile: "If your pet beast doesn't come back, my sister will take the beauty under the moon and leave you." ”

"There's no hurry." Luo He said calmly: "The dishes I want to make are relatively simple, and they can be made within half an hour, mainly using oil and bamboo shoots. ”

"What kind of dish?" Xia Miao asked.

"Braised bamboo shoots in oil." Luo He Dao.

Braised bamboo shoots in oil, a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, is characterized by freshness, sweetness, fragrance and tenderness.

There are rock sugar, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce on the ingredients, and a lot of oil is used to simmer, which is a typical thick oil red sauce flavor.

Of course, Xia Miao had heard of this famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, tilted her head, and said, "It sounds very ordinary." ”

"On the basis of the original flavor, I have slightly improved it."

Luo He smiled slightly and said, "You'll know later." ”

Braised bamboo shoots in oil, mainly choose crisp and tender spring shoots, bamboo shoots mainly choose bamboo shoots or thunder bamboo shoots, these two kinds of bamboo shoots are only available in March and April.

Luo He should respond to the time and use the sweet dragon bamboo shoots that are a special product of Yunling in summer instead of other bamboo shoots.

Sweet dragon bamboo shoots, as the name suggests, taste fresh and sweet, and its sweetness is the best among bamboo shoots.

The famous dish of "braised bamboo shoots in oil" pays attention to the use of sugar, and the sweetness of sweet dragon bamboo shoots complements it.

In addition, Luo He's oil is the "Golden Arowana Oil" freshly collected from the mutant Arowana that day.

"Yuyu is still very powerful."

Luo He said: "At least I can guarantee that I will never lose to other chefs in the oil area!" ”

After thinking about it, Xia Miao opened the lid of the pot and looked at the stewed beef, and suddenly a rich fragrance wafted up.

The red wine in the pot is dark red, the beef is slowly simmered in the thick soup in Chinese, and the spices in the small net pocket exude a strong aroma, like a witch's sachet.

Looking at this tempting pot of beef stew, Luo He felt a sense of hunger and thirst in his heart, and pursed his lips.

"Didn't you just say that you didn't smell what the last spice was?"

Xia Miao smiled: "Actually, it's 'Salvia', also known as medicinal sage, which has a strong aroma and medicinal value to improve appetite. ”

There are more than 1,500 kinds of natural spices in the world, and most of them can be used in medicine.

'Spice Witch''s mastery of pharmacology is the main reason why it is feared in the sixth game.

In the night, the fragrance of the vanilla bunch is like a soft nocturne, and Xia Miao is full of interest and whispers:

"From what you just showed, my sister is actually quite interested in you......"

Compared with Fang Cai's temptation, Xia Miao took the initiative to throw an olive branch this time and said with a smile:

"As long as you are obedient and obedient, after joining the Hunters' Club, my sister will make you soup every day, how about it?"

Before Luo He could answer, a call came from under the night.

Turn your head and look back.

"Huh!" Xiao Jiu hugged the bamboo shoots full of tenderness, staggered on his feet, and walked over slowly, looking funny and cute.

Luo He confirmed a glance, and saw that it was indeed a sweet dragon bamboo shoot, and his eyes lit up:

"Good come, Xiao Jiu!"

Luo He stood in front of the stove, washed his hands, collected his mind, and his eyes gradually became focused.

Xia Miao was slightly stunned, only to feel that he suddenly seemed to be a different person.

Taking advantage of the slow cooking to simmer, Xia Miao seemed to smile, hugged his arms, and watched his performance.

Luo He's eyes froze, and he said:

"Xiao Jiu, prepare to make a fire!"
