Ye Chui's words stunned Peng Song. Ye Chui already knew that the recipe of his dish was cola, and even suggested that he change the name of High Energy Chicken Wings, which sounded very high-energy, to Cola Chicken Wings - of course, Peng Song would never agree to this. High Energy Chicken Wings was his original signature dish. If it was changed to Cola Chicken Wings, anyone who was interested would definitely find that the secret recipe of this dish was actually nothing great, it just used Cola.
The most important thing is, Ye Cui said that he used to make this dish often for his sister
This dish is his signature dish, how could Ye Chui have made it for her sister before
Peng Song shouted angrily, "You are bragging. How could you have made this dish before? If that's the case, how could you not taste how this dish was made when you first tasted it three days ago?"
"The Coke we sell there tastes different from the Coke here..." Ye Chui stated his reasons leisurely.
Peng Song was left with a look of shock on his face. Because the taste of Coke was different, he didn't taste the recipe of the high-energy chicken wings at first
Ye Chui sighed and continued to say to Peng Song, "In fact, I tasted the flavor of soda and a little bit of lemon at that time. I just felt that since your dish is molecular cuisine, it must be very powerful. Maybe you put some high-tech synthetic things in it. I wasted three days of my time, and found out that it was just simple cola... Haha, I would have known how to do this a long time ago."
Ye Chui shook his head. The chicken wings in the sink had been thawed. He drained the water out of it and ignored Peng Song who was completely stunned. He continued to prepare the dish.
Han Yuyan, Li Xiuyun, and Tang Shanshan looked at Peng Song's stunned expression, and all of them showed a smug smile on their faces. Although Ye Chui looked listless on weekdays, he was not bad at striking people down...
Peng Song looked as if he had been humiliated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Ye, knowing the recipe of Coke doesn't mean you can make the high-energy chicken wings. There are other things you need to pay attention to!"
"This is easy, just wait a moment." Ye Chui didn't say much and started cooking the dish directly.
High-energy chicken wings... Well, they are cola chicken wings. There are many ways to cook them, but the essence remains the same. The taste of each method is actually not much different. However, in front of a senior chef like Ye Chui, even the slightest difference can still be detected in detail. When he tasted the high-energy chicken wings three days ago, Ye Chui had already figured out all the other key points except the lemon cola recipe.
To be frank, he can completely replicate the recipe of Pengguan High Energy Chicken Wings.
Before you start, you need to blanch the chicken wings and cook them. This process takes about thirteen minutes. After draining the water, cut cuts on both sides of the chicken wings, then put the chicken wings into a bowl and marinate them with salt, ginger slices, scallions, cooking wine, and soy sauce. Other spices commonly used in Chinatown should also be put into the bowl. Gently knead the chicken wings during the marinating process to speed up the process of marinating.
Watching Ye Chui accurately put various condiments into the bowl, Peng Song became more and more uneasy.
"Boss, his marinating process is exactly the same as ours..." The chef of Peng Restaurant leaned close to Peng Song's ear and said with some surprise, "He... Could he know the recipe of high-energy chicken wings?"
"Impossible! I have always regarded the recipe as the most precious thing and there is no way it could be leaked!" Peng Song's face had already started to sweat.
After marinating for five minutes, Ye Chui set up a pan, poured in two spoons of vegetable oil, and then added various seasonings. He then put the chicken wings into the pan and stir-fried them. After a layer of charred appeared on both sides of the chicken, Ye Chui waved at Han Yuyan, who immediately understood and unscrewed the Coke bottle and handed it to Ye Chui.
Ye Chui poured cola into the pot, just enough to cover the chicken wings, and then boiled it over high heat. This process lasted for another twenty minutes. When the cola had absorbed the juice, Han Yuyan had already taken a plate and poured the chicken wings, which had turned a pleasing dark brown in the pot, into the plate. A plate of cola chicken wings was ready.
Ye Chui picked up the plate and handed it to Peng Song with a smile: "Boss Peng, how does this compare to the high-energy chicken wings in your restaurant?"
Peng Song's face twitched. He didn't even need to taste the dish. Just by looking at the way Ye Chui prepared it, he knew that the dish was exactly the same as the high-energy chicken wings in his restaurant...
Tang Shanshan, the reckless girl, suddenly woke up from a dream and said, "The famous high-energy chicken wings can be made so easily? I heard that the chicken wings for this dish have to be specially processed and use some high-tech equipment. It turns out it's just that simple. In this case, I can make it myself."
"This is the signature dish of my Peng restaurant. If you dare to leak the recipe, I will sue you!" Peng Song threatened fiercely when he heard Tang Shanshan's words.
"Leaking the recipe?" Ye Chui sneered, "Shanshan learned the recipe from me. I haven't seen your recipe. I figured out the method by myself. How can it be leaked? Besides, even if the method is the same, Shanshan can use other colas to make this dish. She can also use the name of Cola Chicken Wings. There won't be any legal problems, right?"
Peng Song's face showed a look of horror. It was indeed the case. Although the recipe was protected by intellectual property rights, Ye Chui did not get the recipe from him. He developed it himself. If he changed his name, he would have no way to deal with Ye Chui...
But if that’s the case, then the dish is ruined. Without its mystery, how can high-energy chicken wings be called one of the top ten representative dishes of Chinatown
After figuring out this key point, he immediately showed a flattering expression to Ye Chui: "Boss Ye, this dish is very important to my Peng Restaurant, please don't leak it out... How about this, I will regard this recipe as something I bought from you, and you name a price."
Spend money to buy the recipe of cola chicken wings from Ye Chui, and if Ye Chui leaks it again, he will be held legally responsible.
How could Ye Chui not know what Peng Song was up to? He smiled and said, "I don't want to sell this recipe. I just want you to agree to one condition."
"What conditions? Tell me." Peng Song said hurriedly.
"Admit that Peng's cuisine belongs to the Chinese cuisine, and you don't need to participate in any Chinatown cuisine independence issues in the future." Ye Chui said with a smile, "Of course, please admit defeat quickly and quickly when I challenge Peng's cuisine."
Peng Song's face continued to twitch, but the matter of the high-energy chicken wings was too important. After twitching for a long time, he nodded heavily: "Okay, I lost this game. I admit that Peng's cuisine belongs to the Chinese cuisine, and I will not interfere with the independence of Chinatown cuisine in the future."
"Well, that's good." Ye Chui nodded, and then he smiled again, "Let's talk about another thing... Can you use your molecular cooking to infer the recipe of the strange-tasting chicken three days ago?"
Peng Song: “…”
Damn, I forgot about this matter.
In fact, Peng Song has been researching the recipe of Strange Flavor Chicken in his food research room for the past three days. His precision instruments can analyze the ingredients in the soup of Strange Flavor Chicken and then infer what the ingredients of this dish are. This method is almost always successful when it comes to other dishes, but Strange Flavor Chicken...
During these three days, he determined eighteen kinds of seasonings.
But there are five that I'm totally unsure of, and one that I've never seen before...
Does one dish really need so many things in it
If it weren't for the fact that this strange-flavored chicken tasted really unique and delicious, and even in Peng Song's opinion was not inferior to their Peng's chicken, he would have suspected that Ye Chu had deliberately put all the seasonings in the kitchen one by one...
Peng Song said with a guilty conscience: "We have already figured out a rough recipe for this dish..."
"Then please ask Boss Peng to make this dish. Haha, I won't bother you for now."
Having said this, Ye Chui called out to Han Yuyan and the others, and walked out of the kitchen with the plate of cola chicken wings. Huang Yiyuan and the others were staying in the hotel lobby at this time, and it was obvious that they wanted to come and watch the fun. They wanted to watch the fun, right? Then Ye Chui would let them watch to their heart's content.
After walking out of the kitchen, Chen Tian immediately stood up: "Master...how was the competition?"
"Haha, try the cola... high-energy chicken wings I made first." Ye Chui almost let the cat out of the bag. What high-energy chicken wings? How could the name be as catchy as cola chicken wings
The other people in the hall became curious. Ye Chui did not directly tell them who won or lost but asked them to taste the dishes he cooked. In fact, it was also a disguised way of asking them to judge whether Ye Chui won or not.
Huang Yiyuan had a general understanding of Ye Chui's cooking skills, but Mrs. Lin Donggao, Jiang Yuemei, was very unfamiliar with it. Naturally, they would like to take this opportunity to fully understand Ye Chui's level.
Huang Yiyuan quickly called the waiter over, brought a few pairs of bamboo chopsticks, and handed them to everyone in the hall one by one. Then several people picked up a piece of chicken wing one by one to taste it.
"This looks like the same high-energy chicken wings from Peng's restaurant." Chen Tian, who had the worst cooking skills, was the first to voice his opinion, looking at Ye Chui with some surprise in his eyes, "Master, you won, right?"
Han Yuyan immediately made a victory gesture and laughed foolishly at Chen Tian.
After Huang Yiyuan, Lin Dong, Gao's wife, and Jiang Yuemei had eaten the chicken wings, the first person to express their opinions was the fat woman Jiang Yuemei. She nodded with satisfaction... Well, she should have been nodding, but her neck was too thick and connected to her face, so the action was not easy to distinguish.
She smiled and said, "The taste of high-energy chicken wings is very unique. I have spent a lot of time researching but have not found any results. Master Ye's cooking skills are really amazing. I, La Hong Zhuang, am looking forward to the day when I can compete with you."
Lin Dong, who seemed to be not very talkative, followed up with, "It's exactly the same as the high-energy chicken wings at Peng's."
Huang Yiyuan didn't say anything, but his eyes were cold.
Madam Gao looked calm and said to Ye Chui with a smile, "Master Ye, you really made high-energy chicken wings in three days. It's amazing. If I didn't know that Peng Song always paid attention to the recipe, I would have suspected that you knew the recipe in advance."
"It was just luck." Ye Chui still maintained enough respect for the kind-looking old lady and said with a smile.
He wasn't lying. If it wasn't for Tang Shanshan's bottle of Coke in the morning, he might have lost, right? (~^~)
