Ye Chui has decided to cooperate with Xing Sen, but the specific method of cooperation will have to wait and be discussed in detail later. Now the first thing Ye Chui has to do is to win the cooking competition later - if he can't win the cooking competition, then nothing he says will be of any use!
However, Ye Chui was fully confident about this, even though he knew that Qin Yue might have colluded with Wang Jianhua.
Ten minutes later, Ye Chui, Xing Sen, Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan and Wang Shiyu gathered at the entrance of the supermarket. Tian Xiaodu and Han Yuyan were naturally a little surprised to see Xing Sen appear, but Ye Chui explained that he was the one who called him to come over to help, so Tian Xiaodu and Han Yuyan did not doubt it.
The group returned to Haitian Company with the ingredients. On the way, Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui with some concern: "Master, I just asked Xiaoyu, and she heard Qin Yue and Wang Jianhua secretly talking before. It seemed that Wang Jianhua was secretly appointed to undertake this chef job..."
"It's okay." Ye Chui smiled with a calm expression and glanced down at Wang Shiyu who was walking beside him.
Now the little thing was still a little depressed. She held a big red apple in her hand and took a bite from time to time. She looked a little aggrieved and her eyes were a little red. Ye Chui showed a loving expression and patted her little head. He continued to say to Han Yuyan, "We have to decide on the hosting of this dinner."
Ye Chui is confident that his food can impress anyone. This is one aspect. Another aspect is that Ye Chui believes that he will win no matter what - because someone wants him to appear on that cruise ship.
All the way back to Haitian Company, the chefs of Jun Le Xiang Hotel have already started to get busy, and Ye Chui has also started to prepare.
"Xiao Du, go and cook the fish first. Xing Sen, help me knead the dough." After washing his hands carefully, Ye Chui gave orders.
Han Yuyan looked very excited: "Master, Master, let me help you too."
"Okay, take Xiaoyu as far as you can and take her to play nearby." Ye Chui said to his second apprentice seriously.
Han Yuyan: “…”
Pearl tofu, spicy boiled fish, beef flat noodles, premium bean curd, crispy apple.
While Tian Xiaodu was cooking the fish and Xing Sen was preparing the noodles for the flat noodles, Ye Chui started cooking the most time-consuming part, the sauce for the beef flat noodles.
The so-called "臊子" is the marinade made when eating noodles. It is the most essential part of a bowl of noodles and it is also the most troublesome to cook. Therefore, the "臊子" of beef noodles is the essence of this staple food. The most important thing to determine whether a bowl of beef noodles is authentic is whether the "臊子" is cooked well.
Ye Chui's method is to first pour salad oil into the pot, then add ginger and garlic, add bean paste, soy sauce, salt, and crystal sugar, add diced beef and red pepper after the aroma is fragrant, add water when the beef is 80% cooked and the red pepper is half-fried in warm oil, and wait until the water boils. Then add various spices in turn, and there is a certain order here, after all, the fragrance of spices is different, and the role they play in the taste is also key.
As for how to add spices and the amount of spices, this is Ye Chui's secret recipe, and he naturally would not let others see this process.
Finally, add the butter so that a thin layer of fat covers the entire surface of the water.
Next, you need to simmer it over low heat without covering the pot to allow the flavor to evaporate naturally.
As this step was completed, the whole room began to gradually fill with the aroma of beef noodles. Salty, fresh, fragrant and spicy, the taste was overwhelming.
The chefs of Jun Le Xiang who were busy at the stove next to them couldn't help but look at Ye Chui, obviously attracted by the strong smell. There was some commotion. These people were all chefs, some even had a Level 4 chef certificate, and were very knowledgeable about smells, but it was the first time they smelled the smell of beef noodles, which made them curious about how this smell was formed.
The essence blended from dozens of spices naturally has its own unique appeal.
Wang Jianhua stood beside the chefs on his side. Seeing that the taste of Ye Chui's cooking had attracted the attention of the chefs, he suddenly looked unhappy and coughed a few times. Only then did the chefs wake up and continue to work on their own. Wang Jianhua took a deep breath, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes...
What is Ye Chui cooking? It smells so special and tempting.
This was just the beginning. As the fire simmered slowly and the heat gradually increased, the smell of the beef noodles became stronger and stronger. The employees who were working in other rooms of Haitian Company also gathered at the door without any prior arrangement.
Qin Yue's management of the company was very strict. On weekdays, the last thing he could see was employees walking around during working hours. But at this moment, these employees seemed to be unable to care about so much. Usually, there were some chefs who would cook in this room, and there would often be rich aromas wafting out of the room, but there had never been one as tempting as the beef noodles made by Ye Chui.
It seems like it would be worth it even if you get fired by your boss if you can just eat a bowl of Ye Chui's beef noodles.
But at this point Qin Yue couldn't care less. He worked in catering and banquets, and had seen a lot of delicious food. But now he was standing among the employees, and was completely attracted by Ye Chui's beef noodles. He was a little surprised: "This kid is really so good at cooking?"
…
Ye Chui ignored the smell for the time being, and turned to look at Han Yuyan and Wang Shiyu who were sitting in a corner of the room talking in a low voice. Wang Shiyu looked unhappy, and Han Yuyan was also very depressed. When he noticed that Ye Chui looked over, there was a bit of resentment on his face...
After thinking about it, Ye Chui decided to make a portion of crispy apples for the two of them. This kind of dessert is most likely to relieve a person's depressed mood.
He took an apple bought by Han Yuyan, and held the fruit knife in his other hand. With a few whooshing sounds, the apple peels slid off one by one. His movements were so smooth that even his movements left a trail of afterimage.
Tian Xiaodu, who was scaling a fish, couldn't help showing a look of shock on his face. Xing Sen also couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked over in surprise. Normally, Ye Chui seldom showed off his knife skills. Today was the first time they knew that Ye Chui's knife skills were so amazing.
Although it's just peeling an apple, the movements are smooth and graceful, and the peeled apple is smooth and soft, which is not something that ordinary people can easily do.
After Ye Chui peeled the apple, he cut it into small pieces and glared at Tian Xiaodu and Xing Sen: "What are you looking at? Go do your own thing!"
The two of them cried out at the same time and continued to work. At this time, even Xing Sen completely obeyed Ye Chui's orders. How should I put it? The kitchen is the chef's territory. Standing in front of the stove, Ye Chui naturally exuded a kingly aura...
Because there are many dishes to be prepared, Haitian Company has specially prepared multiple stoves for each party. At this moment, Ye Chui lit another pot and directly poured half of the salad oil into it. When the oil temperature reached 80% cooked, he poured the sliced apple pieces into the boiling oil one by one!
"Fried apples!?"
“Apples are fried in oil!”
Seeing Ye Chui's actions, many people exclaimed in surprise.
Apples are fruits, not vegetables. How could Ye Chui fry the apples in boiling oil
This... Is this a dark dish
Which country has such a weird way of eating
Even Tian Xiaodu and Xing Sen both showed puzzled expressions. With Tian Xiaodu's knowledge, he naturally knew that some countries' cuisines did have fried fruits, but what was Ye Chu going to do
Many people were attracted by Ye Chui and stretched their necks to watch his next move. Even Wang Jianhua was no exception this time.
The apples in the boiling oil soon turned golden brown. Ye Chui scooped up the apple pieces from the boiling oil with a colander and drained the oil. With his other hand, he grabbed a handful of white sugar and sprinkled it evenly on the golden apple pieces.
The apples were still hot at this moment, and the sugar sprinkled on them immediately began to melt and turn into syrup.
There was a refrigerator and freezer in the room with ready-made ice cubes. Ye Chui took a small basin and poured in the ice. He then poured the apple cubes into the ice and shook them gently. The temperature of the scalding apple cubes was lowered by the ice. The best thing was that the thin layer of syrup gradually solidified, forming a crystal-like color and texture. When the apple cubes were served, a plate of crispy apple dessert was ready.
This crispy apple dish is simple to make. Even anyone with a bit of cooking skills can figure out the recipe after tasting this dessert. However, it is extremely difficult to control the heat to make it as delicious as Ye Chui's - and therefore Ye Chui did not deliberately hide the recipe for this dish, because there was no need to.
Ye Chui walked in front of Han Yuyan and Wang Shiyu with a plate of crispy apples in his hand. This plate of dessert was prepared for them: "Try this dessert and see how it tastes."
The two people, who were originally a little depressed, laughed when they saw this.
Wang Shiyu was about to grab it, but Ye Chui gently hit her on the back of her hand and stuffed a pair of chopsticks in her hand.
The crispy apples looked extremely good, and the crispy, sweet and crunchy apple pieces were even more wonderful when put into the mouth. The two people who were depressed just now suddenly showed happy smiles, and Wang Shiyu seemed to have long forgotten the unpleasantness of being pushed by Qin Yue before.
But this little thing is quite vengeful. Seeing Qin Yue standing not far away and looking at her eagerly, she deliberately showed an expression as if she was eating particularly happily, which made Qin Yue's eyes stare straight - is this considered as indirect revenge for herself
Ye Chui smiled faintly, and then continued to work on the remaining dishes. (~^~)
