After tasting Dong Qian’s hibiscus scallops, Ye Chui looked at the last of the four dishes, which was the first-class double crispy dish made by Qin Yiyue.
Among the many chefs in Manhanlou, Qin Yiyue is undoubtedly the best cook except Ye Chui. His passion for cooking makes his level far higher than Dong Qian and Tian Xiaodu. Ye Chui is also looking forward to this first-class double crisp dish.
This dish is a soup dish. The soup is light and has a mellow flavor. Ye Chui first scooped a spoonful of the soup into his mouth and tasted it carefully. Then he nodded involuntarily and said with a smile: "It tastes delicious. It is made with two ingredients, pork belly and pork kidney. The so-called double crispness refers to these two ingredients."
For the dish Yipin Shuangcu, the contents of the soup were cut into long white strips. It was hard to tell what they were just by looking at the appearance, but Ye Chui could tell what the ingredients were just by tasting the soup. This was very surprising, especially for pork stomach and pork kidney, which were still very rare in this world.
Qin Yiyue's face was also somewhat moved, and then he said: "Then please ask the boss to taste the specific flavor of this dish again."
Ye Chui nodded, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork belly from the bowl.
The pig's stomach has been cut open with a blade, the outer skin has been peeled off, and cross-shaped cuts have been made on the stomach. The small piece of pig's stomach looks indescribably delicate, as if it were carved with patterns. When it is put into the mouth, one can feel its crispy and tender texture, which is very refreshing. The unique texture of the pig's stomach is indescribably wonderful.
Then Ye Chui picked up a piece of thinly sliced pork loin, and this time he had a strange expression on his face again -
Eating kidneys has always had a special meaning. Although the so-called kidneys are not as effective as most people imagine, eating kidneys when eating barbecue is almost a must for every man. If there is a chance on weekdays, he will never give up the opportunity to eat kidneys...
However, in this world, such ingredients have just been put on the table not long ago, and in everyone's eyes, these are just edible delicacies, and there is no other special meaning.
Of course, it was definitely a surprise to Xing Sen. Ever since Ye Chui introduced him to a few kidneys when he first ate barbecue and told him that this thing was good for men, Xing Sen seemed to like this ingredient. Qin Feng called Ye Chui some time ago and told him that Xing Sen would patronize his barbecue stall every time he came to Xizhou City, and every time he would first order a few grilled kidneys...
At this moment, Ye Chui put the thinly sliced pork kidney into his mouth. Because the pork kidney had been specially processed, it no longer had that fishy smell, and the texture was indeed crispy. With the pork belly he had just eaten, this double crispness was indeed very suitable.
Of course, there are still many problems.
"Boss, what do you think of this dish?" Qin Yiyue's wooden face showed obvious anticipation and worry.
"The idea of this dish is great, but... the combination of pork belly and pork kidney is not perfect, especially the pork kidney. You seem to have fried the pork kidney first to remove the main unique fishy smell and make it crispy. However, this is still a big problem. The soup of this dish is mainly clear soup, and the fat produced by frying the pork kidney somewhat destroys the taste of the soup."
"The taste of pork kidney is difficult to handle. If it is handled well, it will be delicious, but if it is not handled well, the taste will be very strange." Qin Yiyue smiled bitterly. It can be seen that he is also very troubled by some shortcomings of this dish. Deep-frying the pork kidney is still the best solution he can think of, but the problems caused by it still cannot be hidden from Ye Chui.
At this moment, he was looking forward to whether Ye Chui could give him some pertinent advice: "Boss, how do you think we should solve this dish?"
"There are two options." Ye Chui said with a smile.
Others became curious. There are two ways to solve this dish
Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian, Man Han Luo and other chefs and waiters all knew how much Qin Yiyue had worked hard on this dish. The main idea of this dish was to use pork belly and pork kidneys together to create a double crispness with a refreshing crisp feeling. However, the fishy smell of pork kidneys was the biggest problem, which was a headache. Moreover, pork kidneys were different from the scallops in the lotus scallops. The fishy smell of scallops could be removed by just washing them with ginger water, but pork kidneys were not so easy to deal with.
In the end, Qin Yiyue’s choice of deep-frying the pork kidneys was the best option.
Ye Chui just took a sip of soup and a bite of food and said he had two solutions.
Well, they knew Ye Chui’s cooking skills were very good, but now it seems that his cooking skills are more than just a few floors high…
"Boss, what are the two solutions?" Qin Yiyue asked hurriedly.
"The first option." Ye Chui smiled and raised a finger. "Your dish is made by seasoning pork kidneys and pork stomach with clear soup. Since the clear soup cannot remove the fishy smell of pork kidneys, you can use deep-frying instead of clear soup. Although pork kidneys are not suitable for clear soup, deep-frying pork stomach will also taste good."
This solution was very simple, but it made Qin Yiyue's eyes light up. The defect that had been giving him a headache could be solved so easily. He was a little shocked, and then smiled bitterly. This was only the first of Ye Chui's two solutions. What about the second one
Qin Yiyue continued to ask: "Then Boss, what is the second solution?"
"The characteristic of your dish is that clear soup can actually add a lot of points, but since clear soup and pork tripe can't be coordinated, if you don't want to replace the clear soup, then replace the pork tripe." Ye Chui said with a smile.
The main difficulty of Qin Yiyue's dish lies in the incompatibility between the clear soup and pork kidneys. The two solutions proposed by Ye Chui are actually to replace these two ingredients respectively.
Qin Yiyue hurriedly asked: "Then...what should I use to replace the pork kidney?"
"The key to this dish is the word 'crisp', so naturally we choose ingredients that have a unique crispness... such as chicken gizzards," Ye Chui explained with a smile.
"Chicken gizzards?" Qin Yiyue pondered for a moment, and his face suddenly brightened. Chicken gizzards are the stomach of a chicken, and pig tripe is the stomach of a pig. These two ingredients go very well together. Although the tastes are different, the textures are very similar.
Qin Yiyue followed up by saying, "Boss, both of your solutions are perfect, and they can also lead to two different dishes. I will definitely perfect these two dishes."
"Wow!" At this time, Tang Shanshan finally let out an exclamation, staring at Ye Chui with sparkling eyes, "Boss, you are really amazing. It turns out that you can not only cook, but also taste dishes."
"Of course, Shanshan, didn't I tell you that Master is almighty in cooking?" Han Yuyan proudly told Tang Shanshan. After a pause, Han Yuyan suddenly thought of something and continued excitedly, "Manny, who defeated Gordon Ramsay, is the new God of Cooking. God of Cooking means the god of cooking. But Master can not only cook but also taste dishes. I think Master should be..."
She paused for a dramatic effect, and was about to continue, but Li Xiuyun, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Mr. Ye Chui should be the God of Food."
Han Yuyan looked a little unhappy, but then he smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, I mean the God of Cookery."
Li Xiuyun looked a little excited and continued, "China's food industry is booming now. We are in urgent need of a leader, and Mr. Ye Chui is undoubtedly the most qualified person to take this position. However, such a person should of course have a resounding title. I have always felt that the title of China's No. 1 Chef is a bit too long and not impressive enough, so I have been thinking about this title for some time. In the end, I think the title of God of Cookery is the most appropriate."
Tian Xiaodu smiled and continued, "I also think this name suits Master best. In fact, ever since I first met Master, I felt that calling him the God of Food was the most appropriate."
"The Chinese God of Food." Dong Qian said with a smile.
"It's the World Cooking God." Dong Youyou said with some pride, "The newly promoted World Cooking God is so arrogant recently. Humph, he is even more imposing than our World Cooking God."
Others also expressed their opinions one after another, thinking that the title of God of Cookery was the most appropriate. In the end, no one asked Ye Chui's opinion - after all, it was just a nickname, and the essence of a nickname was a name given by other people. The opinion of the original person was not important at all. In fact, Ye Chui did not have any opinion.
Because he is the God of Food.
Everyone discussed it for a long time, and the title of God of Cookery was completely confirmed. Then An Xiaoxiao's voice continued with some expectation: "Now, Master, can you tell me whose dish among the four of us has improved the most?"
Ye Chui ruffled An Xiaoxiao's messy hair, which he thought was really unattractive, and continued with a smile: "Of course you have made the most progress."
An Xiaoxiao only has a high talent for cooking, but she has very little basic knowledge after all. To be honest, among the four dishes, An Xiaoxiao's original white water shrimp is the lowest in level, but considering her original foundation, this improvement is indeed huge.
As for the dishes of Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian and Qin Yiyue, they all showed some improvement, but it was hard to compare among the three of them to see who had made the greater improvement.
With the comments just now, everyone already has a clear idea of this point. Anyway, Ye Chui's comments are all that your dish is delicious, but it still has some flaws.
But no matter what, An Xiaoxiao was very happy to get the best evaluation. The little girl clenched her fists and said to Ye Chui with a proud look on her face: "Master, after you die, I will inherit your title of God of Food!"
Ye Chui: “…”
How does this girl talk... (~^~)
