"Master, what is strange-tasting chicken?" Han Yuyan asked hurriedly after hearing Ye Chui's words. Usually Ye Chui would often make some delicious dishes for them to try, but he had never made this strange-tasting chicken, so it was the first time that Sister Han heard this name.
Ye Chui smiled and explained, "Strange-flavored chicken is a chicken dish with a very complex flavor. It can be said that there are hundreds of flavors mixed together. There are countless flavors in one dish. The person who developed this dish almost gathered all the flavors into it, so this dish has the name of strange-flavored chicken." After a pause, Ye Chui continued, "No matter how good his molecular cuisine is, when he encounters this strange-flavored chicken, he should analyze it for me!"
Hearing Ye Chui's words, Han Yuyan suddenly became excited.
But Chen Tian then poured cold water on her: "Master, the flavors of this dish are a bit complex, but these are not a problem for molecular cuisine. By analyzing the dish, he can accurately determine what seasonings are used in the dish, and even the amount of seasoning can be analyzed in detail."
Han Yuyan became nervous.
"It's okay." Ye Chui laughed, glanced at everyone, and then said in a strange voice, "Have you forgotten that we have a seasoning that is not available in Chinatown or even in the entire United States, and this seasoning is one of the most important ingredients in this strange-flavored chicken."
Han Yuyan and the others were stunned, and then realized what Ye Chui was talking about: "Pepper!"
You can't find Sichuan peppercorns in Chinatown, and they're not even sold in the entire United States. Molecular cuisine is an emerging cuisine, but this cooking system is currently only limited to the United States. Ye Chui doesn't believe that he can handle the taste of Sichuan peppercorns.
Thinking of this, Han Yuyan and others all showed joyful expressions. Sichuan pepper was a very strange spice. Even if Peng Song could figure out that the strange-tasting chicken contained something that caused the numbing taste, he would not be able to know what it was. It was impossible for Ye Chui to lose this game from the beginning.
"What's more..." Ye Chui's mouth curled up slightly, "The taste of the strange-flavored chicken may not be completely analyzed by his molecular cuisine. The various seasonings in a dish will also react with each other and become completely new substances. This is definitely not something that can be figured out by chemical analysis alone."
The cooking method of strange-flavored chicken is not difficult, but it requires dozens of condiments. In addition to Sichuan peppercorns, there are also sugar, onions, chili peppers, chili peppers, sesame seeds, MSG, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame paste, egg yolks, crispy peanuts, etc. In Pengguan’s kitchen, all these condiments are available except Sichuan peppercorns. As for Sichuan peppercorns…
When Ye Chui came to challenge Peng Guan today, he had anticipated that the current situation might happen, so he specially prepared a bag of peppercorns when he came - the peppercorns he got from the Chen family's old courtyard were only enough to cook for three or four days. Fortunately, Tian Xiaodu mailed a lot of peppercorns from the other side of the ocean, and these peppercorns were even enough for the Chen family restaurant to use for a long time.
Moreover, these peppercorns are all top-quality tribute peppers. Tribute peppers refer to Hanyuan peppercorns produced in Sichuan. In the Tang Dynasty, this kind of peppercorn was listed as a tribute, so it was called tribute pepper. It is also a very expensive kind of peppercorn. The Manhan Building is very particular about cooking, and the peppercorns they use are all tribute peppercorns.
Cooking is a confidential matter. After Peng Song led Ye Chui and others into the kitchen, he automatically left. Han Yuyan and Li Xiuyun also looked around the kitchen vigilantly to make sure there were no cameras or the like. Then it was time for Ye Chui to show his skills.
The chicken used in Pengguan Kitchen is American white-feathered chicken with tender meat. Although it is not the best broiler for making strange-flavored chicken, it is very suitable.
The most important thing about strange-flavored chicken is the seasoning. Boil the chicken in water, take it out and wipe off the water. Rub sesame oil on the surface of the chicken, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, then pour the seasoning on it.
The seasoning is the most important part. The strange taste is reflected in the flavors of various seasonings. The most important one is the Sichuan peppercorns, which are put into a dry pan and fried, ground into pepper powder, the chili peppers are chopped into chili powder, the green onion shreds are cut into green onion minced, and the sesame seeds are fried until golden and ground into powder.
Mix all the seasonings together and finally pour them carefully over the boiled chicken pieces. An authentic strange-flavored chicken is ready.
When Ye Chu was mixing the strange-tasting sauce, Han Yuyan was worried that Peng Song would be able to infer how the sauce was made based on the missing amounts of various condiments, so he unceremoniously took out some of each condiment in Peng's kitchen and flushed them away with the sink - if Peng Song really was able to infer Ye Chu's strange-tasting sauce based on the missing amounts of condiments, then what he came up with would definitely be inedible.
Although Ye Chui felt that there was no need for Han Yuyan's behavior, he did not stop him. It always helps to be vigilant about such things.
It only took twenty minutes to prepare the strange-tasting chicken.
Ye Chui carried the dish out of the kitchen.
Peng Song was standing in the hall. Several chefs were standing aside and talking in low voices. Some diners knew what was going on and cast curious glances over.
Ye Chui brought the strange-flavored chicken to Peng Song and said, "Boss Peng, please try this dish. It's called strange-flavored chicken."
Boss Peng took a serious look at the strange-tasting chicken, picked up a piece of chicken with a pair of chopsticks and put it into his mouth, tasting it carefully. His expression twitched slightly involuntarily - sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, all kinds of flavors were present.
Some of them have no taste at all.
Peng Song is very familiar with the taste of food and is very confident in his molecular cuisine. But after tasting this dish, he was not sure whether his molecular cuisine could analyze the composition of this dish...
Of course, this hesitation only flashed through his mind, and he continued, "Okay, I will give Boss Ye an answer in three days. My molecular cuisine will definitely be able to completely restore this dish."
"Haha, let's make this clear. In three days, I will also visit Peng Pavilion again with high-energy chicken wings."
Ye Chui said polite words.
After agreeing to meet again in three days, Ye Chui led everyone to leave Peng's House and walked all the way to Chen's Inn. Ye Chui was in deep thought along the way, and Han Yuyan and others looked at Ye Chui expectantly, wondering if Ye Chui could cook this dish.
At this time, Sister Han felt a little regretful. Why didn't she bring Qin Yiyue, Dong Qian, Tian Xiaodu and others here when she came here? Then they could share some of Ye Chui's pressure. But then she thought that Ye Chui was going to fight Chinatown alone. With his temper, he would probably refuse their help even if she brought three people here. So Han Yuyan had to smile bitterly and shook her head, hoping that the master could show his power and solve this high-energy chicken wing.
As the God of Food, Ye Chui had smooth sailing in the food industry after his rebirth into this world. No food-related problems could stop him, but this time he encountered difficulties.
Until the evening of that day, Ye Chui had no way of figuring out what that extra smell in the high-energy chicken wings was.
"The chicken wings are boiled, but I have no idea what the seasoning is. It seems to have the sweetness and sourness of lemon and the refreshing feeling of carbonated soda, but what exactly is this thing..."
Ye Chui's brain has entered an overclocked operation mode. He has not entered this state for a long time since he won the title of God of Cookery in his previous life. Ye Chui has been in this state almost all the time for the rest of the day.
While thinking in his mind, Ye Chui walked casually.
In the evening, he walked into Han Yuyan's room as he was thinking. Sister Han's room faces the sun. Maybe looking at the sunset will help his thinking
But standing in front of the window and looking at the tall buildings opposite, Ye Chui felt that this method was completely useless, so he said hello to Sister Han who was standing in the room and was a little stunned by his sudden entry, and left the room in a daze.
As soon as the door was closed, Han Yuyan's scream suddenly came from the room.
Ye Chui was stunned. What was she screaming for? Did she see a cockroach? Hmm, did he see something just now
Forget it, it’s more important to think about this dish.
So Ye Cui continued to wander around his room with a distraught look on his face.
In Han Yuyan's room, Sister Han, who had just taken a refreshing bath and was standing in the living room taking off her bath towel to change clothes, had a red face. She was holding a pair of panties in her hand...
That night, Ye Chui had some doubts. He didn't know why Han Yuyan suddenly ignored him. However, as he was thinking about the recipe, Ye Chui didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was used to his apprentice's habitual funny behavior.
On this night, Tang Shanshan, who stayed at Chen's Hotel on the pretext of "helping" but actually did nothing but eat a few plates of Mapo Tofu, said good night to Ye Chui and Han Yuyan and planned to go back to her residence.
The girl's mood has recovered a lot now. She hums a song while walking and feels very comfortable. While Ye Chui hasn't reacted yet, she stays by their side. She is still calculating her daily fee of 500 yuan, so they can't try to evade the bill...
But the happy mood suddenly disappeared when a luxury car parked on the side of the road.
The door of the car opened, and He Chengqing's beautiful yet somewhat vicious face appeared from inside...
"How did Ye Chui make that strange-tasting chicken today?" She asked Tang Shanshan directly. (~^~)
