The best quality beef for braised beef is beef shank, which refers to the meat on the top of the cow's four hooves. After careful division, the boneless beef shank is in the shape of a long cone. One piece weighs about five or six pounds. The meat is red and contains tendons. It is the best quality beef for people.
Ye Chui specially walked around the beef market for half a day before selecting the most suitable piece of beef tendon. To make braised beef, the beef needs to be boiled. There is a trick to this process, that is, cold water pork. After the water boils, turn the high heat to medium heat and cook until chopsticks can be inserted into the meat without blood. After taking out the beef pieces, rinse off the blood on the meat. The next step is the braising process.
At this time, you need to use a pressure cooker, add sugar, various seasonings, and minced beef into the pressure cooker. Of course, the last thing you can't forget is the marinade.
Ye Chui took out the small bottle, unscrewed it gently, tilted the bottle mouth, and a thick dark red liquid poured into the pot.
The dark red color blended with the clear water and quickly dissolved, while a rich fragrance began to spread everywhere.
This aroma is a mixture of a variety of fresh ingredients: sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, shark fins, fish lips, pork tripe, ham, lamb elbows, hoof tips, tendons, pigeons, spare ribs… All these ingredients have been simmered for a long time to form an all-encompassing aroma, which seems to contain everything that can be called "delicious" by humans, making people feel excited and refreshed.
Ye Chui only poured out a little bit of the cooled marinade, but it brought such a strong fragrance. This made countless people extremely interested in the small bottle in Ye Chui's hand. They wondered what kind of magical thing was in the small bottle that had such a peculiar fragrance. If this fragrance began to evaporate strongly after being steamed in the pressure cooker, who knows what the scene would be like.
The crowd standing outside watching started to get agitated.
"What on earth is this smell? It's so fragrant. Chef Ye Chui only poured out a little bit and it caused such a big reaction. Is this agar-agar?" A Hong Kong man said excitedly, "If I use this seasoning in my restaurant, the quality will definitely improve dramatically... I wonder where I can buy it?"
"You can't buy it, it's unique to Manhanlou." Han Yuyan couldn't help but say after hearing what the Hong Kong man said.
"It's unique to Manhanlou?" The Hong Kong man glanced at Han Yuyan, and he obviously recognized who Han Yuyan was. There were only 40 contestants left in the Super Chef Competition, and Han Yuyan was on the list. Whether it was because of his identity as Ye Chui's second apprentice or his identity as the scrambled egg beauty who had fought his way through all the difficulties, Han Yuyan was now extremely well-known. The Hong Kong man naturally knew Han Yuyan and asked hurriedly, "Then... what's the recipe for this thing? I'm willing to buy it no matter how much it costs!"
People around who heard their conversation looked at them curiously, and some of them were also in the mood to buy the secret recipe for something like this.
Han Yuyan smiled and shook his head: "No, this marinade comes from a famous dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The recipe of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is unique to our Manhan Building. It is impossible to sell it. The value is immeasurable. You should not think too much about it."
"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so this is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall..." the Hong Kong man said in a daze.
Obviously, this man had also heard of the name of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and knew how precious this dish was. Now the most precious thing was the recipe, and Ye Chui would naturally not give away the recipe for this dish easily, so he had to give up his interest.
Walter, who was cooking at the same time, naturally also smelled the rich aroma. His originally confident face couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise. He turned his head and looked at Ye Chui in surprise. The aroma frightened him. He used molecular cooking methods to extract the essence of vanilla, which should have the richest fragrance, but it was not as good as Ye Chui's.
Both he and Ye Chui's cooking skills should have reached the top level. The end of this cooking competition is the competition of spices, but now. Walter felt that the spices he brought out were already several steps behind Ye Chui.
Could it be that the aroma he created with molecular cuisine was really inferior to the mixed aroma of Ye Chui, which he thought had so many impurities? Could it be that molecular cuisine was really inferior to traditional cuisine
The difference in scent made Walter realize that he had lost this game!
The duel between senior chefs is like a duel between masters, the winner can be determined in a very short time. And now, Wurt has realized that he is doomed to lose!
The people outside the field did not have that awareness. Although they were impressed by the fragrance that Ye Chui brought out, they were still looking forward to the final result of the game. Sister Han in the crowd, however, showed a thoughtful expression at this time.
"Sister Yuyan, what are you thinking about?" Lin Wei noticed Han Yuyan's expression and asked.
"I'm thinking about my game later." Han Yuyan had a locked expression.
"What happened to your game?" Lin Wei asked curiously.
"I was wondering if I could add the aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall into my dishes..." Han Yuyan said with an excited look on his face.
"But Sister Yuyan, you want to make fried eggs..." Lin Wei asked curiously, "And it's stone-baked eggs. Have you figured out how to make them?"
"I've thought about it. I'm going to put a big stone in the charcoal fire, heat the stone, add a little oil, and then spread the egg on it. This is stone-baked eggs," Han Yuyan explained.
Chen Tian and Lin Wei, who were nearby and heard Han Yuyan's words, rolled their eyes at the same time - Sister Han had definitely given up on herself, and her behavior seemed incredibly casual.
Chen Tian asked curiously: "What are you going to do, Yu Yan?"
"I've already thought of a recipe..." Han Yuyan's eyes gradually lit up, and she then described the stone-baked rice recipe she had prepared, her eyes sparkling. Finally, she continued, "My dish is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Stone-Braised Eggs."
Chen Tian: “…”
Lin Wei: “…”
It's over. Sister Han must have given up on herself and started to do things carelessly. Are the dishes she made with that method really edible
Just when Han Yuyan had a new and unique idea for the dish she was about to make, her opponent, the Korean chef Zheng Zaixu, was also preparing his own dishes with full confidence.
"Korean stone-grilled rice contains the essence of our great Korean cooking. Although Han Yuyan is a beautiful woman, her cooking skills are actually mediocre. She has come this far entirely by luck. It's easy to beat her! I want everyone in the world to know that stone-grilled cuisine belongs to Koreans!"
He is very confident.
But he obviously underestimated the power of so-called luck... (~^~)
