Chapter 16 Another bowl

Tong Fei glanced at the time, and it would be 10 minutes before he put the noodles in the pot.

"It's almost time, I'm going to serve the noodles." According to the instructions in the recipe, the cooking time for the noodles should be exactly 10 minutes.

If the noodles are simmered for too long, the noodles will be too soft and chewy.If the stewing time is too short, the taste will be too hard, which is not conducive to digestion and cannot fully absorb the essence of the soup.

"Brother Fei, let me serve it for you." Liu Ling got up, grabbed the bowl and chopsticks from Tong Fei's hand, and helped Tong Fei serve the noodles.

Inviting Tong Fei and Zhao Qing to come to the house today, Liu Ling mainly wanted to express his gratitude.As the host, Liu Ling felt that she must do more.

On the other hand, she also wanted to see what kind of noodles Tong Fei made.

Open the lid of the pot, and a strong aroma instantly hits the face.

It was the smell of noodles mixed with the smell of mutton.The scent quickly spread from the kitchen to the living room.

"It's so fragrant!" Smelling the fragrance, Zhao Qing also came over, and he also wanted to see the true face of the noodles.

The amount of mutton soup just added is not much, after stewing, it has been almost absorbed by the noodles.Liu Ling took out the noodles, and there were three big bowls full.

"Then I won't be polite!" After serving the noodles, Zhao Qing couldn't help but started to eat first.

Tong Fei and Liu Ling also picked up the chopsticks and put the noodles into their mouths.

The moment of entrance, the expressions of the three of them changed instantly.

"Isn't this too delicious?" Zhao Qing couldn't help admiring, and then started to gobble it up.

"Not only is the taste rich, but the taste is also very smooth!" Liu Ling also hurriedly took a few more mouthfuls.

For wide noodles and thin noodles, different people have different choices.The wide noodles are more chewy and enjoyable to eat, but for people with bad teeth, it will be a little harder to chew.Thin noodles are smoother, easier to eat, and easier to digest, but the taste is not as good as wide noodles.

Although Tong Fei’s noodles are wide, they are very thin, and the cooking time is just right. They taste full and are easier to eat than ordinary wide noodles. It can be said that it is suitable for men, women and children.

Noodles are the core of this braised noodle dish, but the essence lies in the mutton broth stewed earlier.Due to the limited time, the mutton soup was not stewed for a long time, but the aroma and umami of the mutton were well integrated into the noodles.

Compared with other meats, mutton has a stronger meat flavor, and some people are not very comfortable with the taste of mutton.However, when Tong Fei removed the blood, part of the smell of mutton was already removed, and after cooking with cooking wine, sliced ​​ginger and other ingredients, the smell of mutton was very little.

Tong Fei knew that if the ingredients were complete and the recipe was followed, the smell of mutton would be completely removed.

After the mutton is stewed, the taste is much softer, and the light soy sauce is added to stir-fry, so that the aroma of the mutton can be fully released.

Green beans are the finishing touch of this bowl of noodles.If there is no green beans, the whole stewed noodles will appear slightly greasy.Kidney beans successfully solved this problem. It tastes delicious but not greasy when eaten with shredded lamb, which is a very good match.

The last 10 minutes of stewing blended all the ingredients into a whole, and a delicious stewed noodle was cooked like this.

Tong Fei tasted the stewed noodles he made himself. It was so delicious that he couldn't believe it was made by himself.

"To be honest, I have been in catering for so many years, and I have never eaten such delicious noodles." Zhao Qing could not find any suitable adjectives to describe this bowl of noodles, and gave the highest evaluation he could think of .

"Brother Fei, to be honest, I didn't like the taste of mutton before, but although this bowl of noodles is stewed with mutton soup, it hardly has the smell of mutton. Although the noodles are wide, they are easy to eat, even for people like me. It's easy for a girl to eat it, and it doesn't lose the strength of the noodles at the same time." Liu Ling praised.

Within a few minutes, the noodle bowls of the three were empty.

"Little Ling, help me fill another bowl." Zhao Qing handed the clean empty bowl to Liu Ling.

"Brother Qing, I've already finished filling the pot of noodles just now." Liu Ling smiled helplessly, but she actually wanted to eat another bowl herself.

"There will be more activities like this in the future. Tong Fei, remember to make more noodles next time!" Zhao Qing was disappointed when he heard that there were no more noodles.

"This is the first time I have done it. I was afraid that it would not be good, so I didn't do too much. Next time, I will prepare better and do more!" Tong Fei said with a smile.

My cooking skill is only 1 point, if it is not because of the secret recipe, it is impossible to achieve such an effect.Today, however, he did not completely follow the requirements of the formula. If he was given enough time to prepare well, the effect would definitely be better.

"It's the first time to do it? You say that, how can you embarrass the chef in my restaurant?" Hearing that Tong Fei was pretending to be a pig again, Zhao Qing had the urge to beat him up.

However, thinking of the scene where Tong Fei knocked down four people in a row just now, Zhao Qing immediately stopped thinking about it.

Tong Fei felt helpless, this was not only the first time he made this stewed noodles, but also the first time he actually cooked.

"By the way, Tong Fei, where did you learn how to braise noodles? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Zhao Qing continued to ask.

"When I was young, my grandma always made stewed noodles for me. I watched a lot from the sidelines, so I memorized the general steps. Today I did it according to memory." Tong Fei just made a random reason, but it couldn't be said that it was given by the system. Secret recipe.

"The taste is beyond imagination. If you have time to teach the chefs of my restaurant, it may become popular in the whole city." Zhao Qing said half seriously and half jokingly.

"Teaching is possible, but there is a price." Tong Fei replied imitating Zhao Qing's tone.Tong Fei knew what Zhao Qing was thinking, but he also had his own plan in mind.

"To be honest, this stewed noodle can really be considered for promotion. It's been a long time since I've been surprised by any delicious food." Zhao Qing said seriously.

"I'll study the process carefully when I go back, and I'll do it for you next time." Tong Fei said calmly.

"Then it's settled, Xiao Ling, you must prove it for me." Zhao Qing said with a smile.

"No problem, I didn't eat enough today!" Liu Lingjiao said angrily.

Because the stewed noodles made by Tong Fei were too delicious, several people didn't pay attention to the dishes while eating the noodles, and the large table of dishes made by Liu Ling was hardly touched.

Only then did the three of them remember their original intention of coming to Liu Ling's house for dinner today.In order not to make the scene look awkward, Tong Fei and Zhao Qing worked hard to finish off a table of dishes.

After eating the stewed noodles made by Tong Fei just now, Liu Ling's dishes paled in comparison, but Tong Fei and Zhao Qing still enjoyed their meal.Liu Ling saw what Tong Fei and Zhao Qing were thinking, and silently expressed her gratitude to them.

After some hard work, the three of them finally ate almost all the dishes on the table.

Because mutton has the effect of nourishing qi, the three of them felt full of qi after eating, and their whole bodies were full of warmth.

"It's getting late, let's go first." Tong Fei and Zhao Qing got up and said goodbye to Liu Ling.

"Well, Brother Qing, Brother Fei, thank you again for your rescue today! I'll send you down." Liu Ling once again thanked Tong Fei and Zhao Qing.

"Why are you being polite to my brothers!" Zhao Qing said brightly.

"That's right, Xiao Ling, go back quickly." Tong Fei invited Liu Ling back to the house, and left with Zhao Qing.
