Chapter 1247 Chapter 288 Try Cantonese Cuisine
This kind of "duck meat" brought a different feeling to Marcus.

It doesn't have the plump feeling of duck meat, but the taste is exceptional. The rich aroma is not much worse than that of duck meat. Moreover, the outside of the "duck meat" also has a crispy texture.

"Shouldn't this be real duck meat?" Marcus asked.

Catherine also picked up a piece of hoof and put it in a small bowl, "Although there is no meat in it, the taste and texture are also exceptional. Classmate Que, what are these?"

"The one you ate is called Su Zha Ti, and the one Mr. Marcus ate is called vegetarian roast duck. As for the cooking method, I am not good at Cantonese cuisine, so what I said may not be accurate. Zheng Ke should know these ingredients better than me." Que Zhengqing said calmly.

Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to Zheng Ke, and then they remembered that Zheng Ke is also a master of Cantonese cuisine.

Zheng Ke was lowering his head, peeling off the "duck meat" with chopsticks, and carefully observing the materials inside.

"Zheng Ke, what do you think of this dish? Also, why is this 'vegetarian roasted duck' in your hand so delicious?" Marcus asked.

"Oh, you mean this?" Zheng Ke was taken aback for a moment, pointed at the vegetarian duck in the small bowl, and looked up at Marcus.

"Yeah." Marcus nodded.

"As Que Zhengqing said, its name is roasted duck. You have also seen that this kind of food is actually cooked with tofu skin as the main ingredient. The general method is to use a moist cloth to cook the tofu skin. Cover it and let it soften, then apply the sauce mixed with salt, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, pepper, five-spice powder and other seasonings, and stack it with the tofu skin. Then fold it up and finally put it on the fire After dipping and frying, it becomes a vegetarian roast duck."

When everyone heard Zheng Ke's explanation, they half-understood it. After all, they only relied on narration and never saw it with their own eyes.

But Zheng Ke didn't intend to cook it either. He put the vegetarian roast duck in the bowl into his mouth and nodded repeatedly, "As expected of an old shop, the cooking method is very authentic."

"This Suzati should also use a lot of tofu, and the taste is also very good." Catherine pointed at the Suzati in the small bowl and looked at Zheng Ke.

"That's right, this kind of food actually only uses two kinds of soy ingredients, one is stick bamboo and the other is tofu skin. Chop up the same amount of tofu skin and stick bamboo, and then add various seasonings, including Steam it in a cloth bag. It sounds simple, but Suzhati also tests the fire skills." Zheng Ke explained.

Catherine suddenly realized, "It looks like an ordinary platter, but there are so many ways."

"Of course, take mushrooms as an example. How do you feel when you eat them in your mouth?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Mushroom?" Catherine picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mushroom, and ate it into her mouth. The rich aroma lingered in her mouth, and it was still so delicious.But in addition to these flavors, the taste of this piece of shiitake mushrooms is also very crisp.

"You mean the batter?" After trying it, Catherine also knew the difference of the shiitake mushrooms.

"That's right, on top of the shiitake mushrooms, there is a kind of coating unique to Cantonese cuisine called crispy paste." Zheng Ke also picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms and put them into his mouth.

"Crispy pulp?" Que Zhengqing rubbed his forehead, "I said why is the taste so crispy? It turns out to be crispy pulp."

If he hadn't used it deliberately, Que Zhengqing would not have thought of crispy pulp, and he only realized it when he heard Zheng Ke mention it.

Catherine nodded half-understanding. Although she didn't quite understand what crispy pulp was, the taste of mushrooms must have something to do with this kind of batter.

"Crispy batter is the batter used to fry ingredients. There are two common types of crispy batter, one is called baking powder crispy batter, this kind of batter is made on the spot, and the method is relatively simple. Flour, salt , dry starch, mixed with water, edible oil and other ingredients; the other is more complicated, because yeast is added, so it needs to be fermented for four hours, but the taste is better and the taste is more crisp. Obviously, The crispy pulp used in this dish is the latter."

Hearing Zheng Ke's explanation, everyone present was silent.

You know, this dish is just a platter, so many ingredients are used.

"But if that's the case, doesn't this dish look too complicated?" Catherine rubbed her chin.

"This is the characteristic of Cantonese cuisine. It not only requires exquisite workmanship, but also consumes a lot of energy to cook a dish. Therefore, the price of Cantonese cuisine is also more expensive than other dishes. This time, everyone can try this It is not easy to have a high-level Cantonese cuisine, and it is much better than those Cantonese restaurants abroad." Zheng Ke said truthfully.

Among the eight major cuisines in Huaxia, Sichuan cuisine is the most famous, and there are more Sichuan cuisine restaurants in Huaxia than Cantonese cuisine; but in foreign countries, Huaxia restaurants mainly serve Cantonese cuisine.These two aspects are related to the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine.

Que Zhengqing found the chopsticks, picked up the napkin and wiped off the grease from the corner of his mouth.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Xingping asked softly when he saw Que Zhengqing holding the tea cup.

"Don't eat." Que Zhengqing shook his head slightly.

"Is this dish delicious?" With a vegetarian roast duck stuffed in her mouth, Anil looked at Que Zhengqing puzzled.

"Is the first course of Western food the most delicious? No matter how delicious the assorted vegetarian platter is, it is just an appetizer. Don't forget, you are not here to eat these things." Que Zhengqing smiled lightly.

The others were taken aback for a moment, then remembered the purpose of this trip, and immediately put down the chopsticks in their hands.

"If you follow the order, the next dish should be Liu Haolin's dish, right?" Zheng Ke asked.

Que Zhengqing nodded, "That's right."

"What's going on?" Catherine gently pulled Zheng Ke's clothes.

"Western food has a relatively complete serving order. Usually the first course is an appetizer, followed by soup. If there is a side dish, then the third course is a side dish. Otherwise, the main course will be served directly. After that, it is dessert. And fruit or black tea. Although Chinese food is not as strict as Western food, it also has a certain order of serving.

"First of all, we serve clear tea for everyone, and then cold dishes. But it's winter now, so I served this platter with heat. The third dish is stir-fried, and this dish is also the most popular among chefs. Kung fu. And, if it’s a formal occasion, the main course of the hot dishes should be served first. To sum up, there is a high probability that Liu Haolin’s dish will be the next one.” Zheng Ke explained.

"Eh? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Anel's eyes widened and she touched her stomach, the hunger in her stomach had disappeared.

Zheng Ke rubbed his forehead and barely laughed out loud.

Some people treat guests with dim sum as the first course.Hungry customers will not have the energy to eat dinner after eating dim sum, and the price of banquets will be lowered.

Catherine was secretly glad.She doesn't know much about Huaxia cuisine, so she is more concerned about Zheng Ke's actions.Seeing that Zheng Ke was eating a piece of vegetarian roast duck, he put down his chopsticks, and he became more careful and didn't let go of eating.Thinking about it now, my decision was really wise.

Hearing Zheng Ke's explanation, the people present had different expressions, wondering if there was still "space" for their stomachs.At this moment, the door was slowly opened, and a person walked in pushing the dining cart.

　Thank you Mo and Qianqing for your reward, and thank you for the monthly pass that you don’t want to say, and have nothing to say, single, human, and love.
