As long as you explore the origin of Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce, you will find that it has an inseparable connection with Beijing roast duck. The original Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce was a dish made by an old man using pork tenderloin in the method of roast duck in order to satisfy his grandson's wish to eat roast duck as he had no money. Because the preparation of this dish is very unique, it became very popular and became a famous dish of Beijing cuisine and even the whole world.
Of course, this is the origin of Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce in Ye Chui's previous life. In this world, Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce is not widely spread. However, Ye Chui was surprised to find that there is a dish in this world that is similar to Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce, and that is Tang's shredded pork.
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was the butterfly effect that occurred to different characters in two eras. In any case, this dish was produced, but it did not encounter a good era like the previous life, and the preparation of this dish could not be gradually improved and carried forward. This is a pity.
Fortunately, Ye Chui came to this era.
All kinds of preparations have been completed, and Ye Chui is about to start cooking the dish.
Sister Han finally had a chance to stop and take a breath. Cutting the green onion and cucumber shreds seemed to have exhausted her energy. The weather was not that hot and humid, but her body was already soaked with sweat. Her shirt was tightly attached to her body, revealing the graceful curve of her back. She wiped her face with the back of her hand and felt dry mouth, so she reached out and took the water cup on the table and prepared to drink a sip of water.
The cup of water was already at her lips, but at this moment she suddenly saw something and stopped abruptly.
Ye Chui started cooking.
At this moment, he didn't look like a teenager at all. He was wearing a white chef's uniform and had a straight figure. He held a wok in one hand and a spatula in the other. As the wok kept shaking, the shredded meat kept jumping up and down in the wok... The movements were elegant and graceful. There was no bursting flame in the fire, but there was a kind of scorching violent aura.
Han Yuyan was slightly distracted as she watched. Suddenly, she thought of the first time she saw Ye Chuizheng, when he cooked the imperial eggplant dish for Lin Wei's mother. At that moment, he was so focused on the food.
At this moment, he has been possessed by the God of Food!
Sister Han stared blankly, and had already subconsciously put the glass of water aside. Her eyes sparkled, and after a moment she suddenly discovered something remarkable—
"Huh? Master, when you were frying the shredded pork... it seemed like you didn't add any oil at all!" Han Yuyan couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
The shredded pork was constantly being stir-fried in the iron pan. The originally bright red shredded pork gradually turned white, and the white color slowly turned slightly yellow, but there was no oil in the pan at all.
How can you cook without oil
The shredded pork had been stir-fried for five minutes. Ye Chui put the stir-fried shredded pork into a plate. Although the shredded pork was stir-fried, it still exuded a refreshing fragrance. Ye Chui smiled and explained, "I did this on purpose. This is also my secret recipe for this dish."
"But why is that?" Sister Han asked in confusion. Some dishes might use very little oil for a lighter taste, but no oil at all would ever be used in the dish.
The key to cooking lies in the reaction between vegetables, meat and oil.
"This is to give the shredded meat a layer of iron plate aroma." Ye Chui smiled and explained, "The shredded meat is dry-fried in the pan, and the texture is burned by the high temperature, and the texture is slightly yellow. The taste is somewhat similar to the grilled meat from the teppanyaki grill. Of course, this is only the first step, and the necessary oil frying is still necessary next."
Having said that, Ye Chui poured some more oil into the wok, and the next step was to make the regular Beijing-style shredded pork.
Han Yuyan stood aside, deep in thought. Tian Xiaodu knew how to make Ye Chui's shredded pork with Beijing sauce, but this was the first time Han Yuyan saw Ye Chui cook it. She recalled the taste of this dish that Ye Chui had made before and nodded: "No wonder, every time I eat the shredded pork with Beijing sauce made by you, Master, it seems to have a smell of barbecue. So this is the reason."
…
In Shengdefu's kitchen, Ye Chui and Jim have already started cooking. The rich aroma and sounds of cooking continue to emanate from the kitchen, and the people sitting in the hall are waiting anxiously.
Several gourmets were whispering about the rich aroma of these dishes, with expressions of impatience on their faces. As for Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan, and He Chengqing, their faces became increasingly gloomy.
The chefs from Chinatown, the original group is gradually decreasing in number as Ye Chui's challenge progresses. The most terrifying thing is that the restaurant chefs or owners who were defeated by Ye Chui will join Ye Chui's camp, such as Chen Tian, Shen Zhongda, and Jiang Yuemei.
Or they simply act as if they no longer care about this challenge, like Peng Song, Lin Li and others.
Ye Chui's challenge was to take down Chinatown in one fell swoop, and it was no exaggeration at all.
As if he had thought of something, He Chengqing glanced at Mrs. Gao quietly with a questioning look. Mrs. Gao understood and looked at the long-haired waiter who was standing next to her and entertaining the guests.
The waiter immediately understood and quietly took a few steps towards the kitchen and looked inside: Jim was stir-frying over a high fire, revealing his back, and the water cup that was originally placed on the side of the stove had disappeared. Although no one knew where the water cup was now, but... it seemed that Jim must have drunk the water in it, otherwise why would he move the cup
So the long-haired waiter gently gestured to Mrs. Gao that it was OK.
Madam Gao nodded. He Chengqing leaned close to Madam Gao's ear and whispered, "Has he eaten it?"
"I've taken it." Mrs. Gao nodded. She thought for a moment and asked again, "Is your medicine really that effective?"
"That's right. Just one pill can improve a chef's level by several percentage points. This has been proven." He Chengqing nodded in agreement.
"One?" Mrs. Gao's face suddenly showed some surprise.
He Chengqing nodded: "Of course." She suddenly realized something, "Mrs. Gao... How many did you give Jim?"
Mrs. Gao's expression became more and more shocked, and even a little panicked. She whispered, "All of them."
He Chengqing: "…There are ten pills in the bottle."
"I... put them all in the glass of water." Mrs. Gao said uncomfortably, "If... if you eat so many at once, what effect will it have on you?"
He Chengqing's face showed a bit of fear, and he lowered his voice and said, "We haven't done experiments on humans, but we have done experiments on some animals, and we can infer the results if humans use too much of the drug... This drug acts directly on the nervous system and has a great impact on the psychological state. If you take too much of the drug directly, it will cause an excess of the drug in the body, causing the nervous system to be overexcited, which will have a great impact on the user's psychology..." After a pause, He Chengqing continued, "The user will show superhuman abilities in a short period of time, but gradually his behavior will get out of control... He will become a lunatic!"
Having said this, He Chengqing finally realized that something was wrong and stood up to stop the cooking competition. If Jim had already swallowed those pills and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment... he should still be saved, right
But Mrs. Gao pulled He Chengqing up and said, "The matter of the pills cannot be exposed."
"But Jim..."
"Let's leave it to fate." Mrs. Gao had made her decision. Her face returned to normal, but this normality contained a kind of determination and cold indifference. "After taking too many pills, Jim will be able to become a superman in a short period of time, and he will have a better chance of defeating Ye Chui. As for what happens next... He has dedicated himself to Chinatown, I don't think he will mind."
"… "
He Chengqing didn't say anything, but he stopped when he was about to stand up.
She suddenly understood something.
Is it true that Mrs. Gao cannot tell the effects of these pills? Would she be so foolish as to put all of them into the water
I'm afraid... she was prepared for this from the beginning.
This woman... is even more hateful and vicious than her!
He Chengqing looked at Mrs. Gao's old face which had returned to its normal appearance, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"What are you talking about?" Huang Yiyuan noticed the conversation between Mrs. Gao and He Chengqing and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing." Mrs. Gao said to Huang Yiyuan with a smile, "We are just looking forward to seeing how delicious the dishes will be when Chef Jim breaks out of his cocoon and is reborn."
"… "
Huang Yiyuan frowned and felt something, but in the end he did not pursue the issue seriously, shook his head, and continued to look forward to Jim's dishes.
Inside the kitchen, the sound of cooking over a high fire had gradually died down, and both Ye Chui and Jim's dishes were almost done.
On the right side of the kitchen, Ye Chui gently poured the shredded pork mixed with sauce in the wok into a plate. The plate was covered with a layer of cucumber shreds and dotted with tofu skins around. The sauce was spread on the cucumber shreds, and then the shredded green onions chopped by Han Yuyan were lightly sprinkled on it. The Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce, which was famous both at home and abroad in the previous life, was completed.
"Master." Han Yuyan saw that Ye Chui was sweating profusely from exhaustion. It was obvious that making this dish was different from the time-consuming lamb and eggplant stew. It was very laborious. So she picked up the glass of water and handed it to Ye Chui with a friendly look, "You must be thirsty. Have a glass of water to moisten your throat."
"Oh, well, I happen to be feeling thirsty right now."
Ye Chui smiled and nodded, took the cup of water handed over by Han Yuyan, and brought it to his lips... (~^~)
