Chapter 32 You Surprised Me Again
Before the official start, Wu Han stepped forward to introduce the ingredients to Xu Yang.
"Xu Yang, beef tripe, beef heart, beef tongue and other beef offal have all been boiled in brine, and they have almost cooled down. What you need to do now is slice, season, and serve with cold dressing."
Xu Yang nodded: "Okay, I see."
It takes an hour or two for the raw materials of husband and wife lung slices to be boiled in water.
The time before the banquet starts is relatively tight, there is no way to start from the first step, it will be too late.
The things that are being done now start at 9:11 a.m., and they are all done by [-]:[-] a.m.
Of course, although the first few steps take a long time, they are only for cooking the raw materials, which is relatively simple.
For example, the brine made is nothing more than pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel and other spices.
When cooking, add ginger, cooking wine, spice packs and other seasonings to cook out the fragrance and mature, and then wait for it to cool.
The above steps, whether it is the stewed time or the spices, are almost the same, nothing unusual.
The next process of cold dressing is the most important, and the taste of the dishes is also released in this step, and the prepared seasoning is especially important.
Xu Yang looked at Niuza, and all of them became cold.
First take a clean bowl and make the mix.
Add salt, sugar, pepper powder, soy sauce, chili red oil and celery segment in turn and stir well.
The amount of each seasoning is determined by Xu Yang according to the amount of raw materials, and he grasps it in detail.
Soon, the fragrance can be smelled after preparation.
Then all the cooled offal raw materials are cut into thin slices with uniform thickness.
After upgrading to a two-star chef, the knife skill has improved slightly with the upgrade, which is slightly better than that of a one-star chef.
Not to mention how good the cutting is, at least it managed to achieve the same thickness.
Mix the chopped beef offal and the adjusted sauce together and stir, and arrange them on the plate in an orderly manner according to the way of serving after taste.
Then grab a handful of fried peanuts and smash them with a kitchen knife, and put them on the plate with sesame seeds.
Finally, put some celery leaves on top, and a husband and wife lung slice is completed.
The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
"Chef Tian, Chef Wu, this is the husband and wife's lung slices I prepared in cold sauce, what do you guys think?"
As soon as it was done, the two were ready.
Tian Mingzheng stepped forward to observe the dish first.
"Not bad. First of all, we can evaluate the color, presentation and aroma of the dishes. It is very good. The color is beautiful and the presentation is fine, which fully meets the serving standard."
He picked up a chopstick of tripe and looked at it.
Added: "Secondly, the thickness of the beef offal is very uniform, and there is no situation where it is too thick or too thin. The knife is good."
After finishing speaking, Tian Mingzheng and Wu Han took a sip each.
No matter how good the previous one is, the taste is the most important thing. Xu Yang silently waited for the evaluation of the two after tasting.
As soon as Tian Mingzheng entered, he showed a very surprised expression.
After swallowing it, he nodded, looking very satisfied, Xu Yang knew it was stable.
Sure enough, Tian Mingzheng practiced praise and said: "Okay, not bad, the taste of this couple's lung slices is good." After speaking, he took another bite.
Wu Han, who hadn't put down his chopsticks, also commented at this time: "First of all, I won't say much about the taste of tripe. I cook it in marinade. Whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with you. I mainly talk about the taste of cold salad."
"I observed carefully when you prepared the seasoning. The ratio of the seasoning and the beef offal is very suitable. The spicy taste is just right after a bite. The spicy taste is strong but it does not completely cover up the taste of the tripe. People can't help but want to serve it again. Take a bite."
At this time, Tian Mingzheng, who had tasted the second sip, also said: "That's right, the overall taste is hardly a problem. It would be better if you can add some MSG to enhance the freshness. You should try it yourself."
Xu Yang took a step forward and tasted the dish.
Speaking of it, it was the first time to cook and taste after unlocking.
The reason is that it takes a long time to make it once, and I don't want to make it at home, so it is the first time to season and taste it until today.
After taking a sip, Xu Yang knew in his heart that this dish did not meet the standard of five-star dishes.
Regardless of the very high evaluation given by the two, he knew that it was definitely not up to the level of a four-star dish.
When such a situation happened, Xu Yang understood what was going on.
If you want to meet the standards of the illustrated book, you need to do the whole process by yourself, from the first step to the last step of cooking.
If there is direct assistance from other people during the period, the dishes made will be greatly reduced. Although the difference will not be too much, it will definitely not meet the standard of the illustrated book.
As for this husband and wife lung slice, I only participated in the later seasoning, but did not participate in the front.
For example, the spices and seasonings used for stewing, and the time of stewing are not involved by myself, and there must be a certain gap between the ones given in the system illustrated book.
Fortunately, the overall taste of the raw materials is good. With the following seasonings, the final dish is about four stars.
If you change it to do the whole process by yourself, the five-star dishes are appropriate.
Of course, it must be much better than the average couple's lung slices, and the four-star dishes met his requirements.
Xu Yang felt that the monosodium glutamate that Tian Mingzheng mentioned was unnecessary.
"Chef Tian, I have considered MSG, but I think the flavor of the stewed offal has already penetrated into it, so there is no need to use MSG to enhance the freshness. In addition, the umami taste is already there after the sauce I just chilled."
After Tian Mingzheng thought about Xu Yang's explanation seriously, he nodded.
"Since you think the taste is enough, there is no problem. Every chef has a different understanding of taste, and it is impossible to make all the same. You are right. I ignored your sauce. Maybe adding MSG will affect the current taste. smell."
"Thank you Chef Tian."
Xu Yang thanked him for his understanding.
This itself is modulated under the influence of the system, and I also feel that MSG is really unnecessary.
The use of monosodium glutamate is to enhance the taste and freshen up.
On the premise that the umami taste of the dishes is sufficient, putting them in will definitely destroy the original taste.
"You surprised me again." Tian Mingzheng said involuntarily.
In his opinion, the prepared couple's lung slices may taste good, but it is far from as high as Xu Yang said.
I didn't expect to find out that it was modest after I tasted it.
"Chef Tian, I just don't want to miss this opportunity."
Tian Mingzheng was willing to give him a chance out of complete trust. In this case, Xu Yang had to bring out his best dishes.
Those two dishes can pass the test. After all, they are only three-star dishes. If there are better ones, how can we not take them out.
He said with satisfaction: "You just said that I still don't believe it. Fortunately, I gave you a chance to try it, otherwise I really missed it."
"Then can I make this couple's lung slice later?" This is what Xu Yang is more concerned about.
Tian Mingzheng nodded: "I have no problem here, but Sous Chef Wu is in charge of the cold dishes. It depends on his opinion."
Xu Yangneng understood, and turned to look at Wu Han.
Wu Han, who was watched by both of them, smiled.
"I really won't agree to other things, but just now Xu Yang has made a very good couple's lung slice, and I have no problem."
Neither of them had any problems, and the matter was settled naturally and smoothly.
Of course it doesn't affect them.
It is their credit that the leaders did not taste it, and it is their ability to taste it.
Finally, Tian Mingzheng said: "Xu Yang, I will leave the mapo tofu and couple's lung slices to you. After cooking, we need to keep samples. We need to take a look."
Xu Yang agreed.
