Dare to cook

Chapter 247 Scallion Noodles
In the cooking classroom, there was no sound, only Stanley and Sallyz were savoring the dishes they cooked.

Qin Ming added a lot of red wine when cooking snails, so the French snails he made had a mellow taste and were juicy.

The snails made by Yao Yu are more focused on matching with French bread. The taste is stronger, but the chewing feeling is also more substantial.

After some tasting, Stanley liked Yao Yu's dishes, while Shalizi preferred Qin Ming's works.

As a result, when the two of them gave their respective scores, Yao Yu was slightly behind with a total score of 0.3 points.

Seeing that Yao Yu was temporarily at a disadvantage, Lu Chenyu and Ji Xun who were watching the battle did not worry about him at all.

On the side, Lin Jingxue, who was selected into the national kitchen team with Qin Ming just yesterday, saw that the two were so calm, she couldn't help asking curiously: "You and Yao Yu are good friends, right? Why don't you worry about him losing at all?"

Lin Jingxue, female, 24 years old, tall and tall, because her grandmother is Ukrainian, so she has a quarter of White Russian descent.

Like Qin Ming, Lin Jingxue is also a chef who has recently returned from abroad.

Due to living abroad all year round, Lin Jingxue's understanding of Yao Yu's strength is not as deep as that in China.

Even though she had heard about Yao Yu's defeat of Shen Gongpei, she did not think that Kuangtu Yu was invincible to the young chef.

Ji Xun had a good impression of this tall mixed race.

He smiled and said:
"Yao Yu seldom cooks western food. Qin Ming can take the lead temporarily, but it's just an advantage in the competition."

"And then, once he no longer has this advantage, the gap between him and Yao Yu will immediately become apparent."

"Is Yao Yu really that strong?" Lin Jingxue was puzzled.

Ji Xun smiled and said: "Seeing is believing. You will know when you have more contact with him."

While talking, Yao Yu and Qin Ming had already started preparing the second course.

The title of the second course was pasta.

When it comes to pasta, there are many types that can be made.

There are so many kinds of fried noodles, stewed noodles, ramen noodles, simmered noodles, knife-sliced ​​noodles, and wonton noodles.
Ji Xun looked at Yao Yu below who had already started kneading noodles, and couldn't help but look forward to it: "Yao Yu is from Shencheng, his best pasta should be noodles with scallion oil? I don't know if he will make it today?"

Lu Chenyu noticed the longing in Ji Xun's expression, and asked curiously, "Is there anything special about the scallion noodles he made?"

Ji Xun said with a smile:
"That's not true. But the scallion oil he boiled is the best."

"Four years ago, we celebrated Zhu Xingchen's birthday together. Three of the people present made noodles with scallion oil, and they all used the dough that the same person kneaded in advance."

"But the noodles made by the other two are just not as delicious as Yao Yu's."

"Yao Yu said at the time that the secret to the delicious scallion noodles lies in the scallion oil."

"As a result, Zhu Xingchen, who had tasted Yao Yu's scallion oil fried noodles that day, did not accept Yao Yu's birthday gift, but begged Yao Yu to tell him the secret recipe of fried scallion oil."

"Then what happened later? Did Yao Yu give the secret recipe? He probably didn't, right? Chef's secret recipes are not given to others easily." Lin Jingxue blinked and said.

Ji Xun said with a smile:

"You guessed wrong. Yao Yu is very generous to his friends."

"He passed on the secret recipe to Zhu Xingchen. Within a month, Zhu Xingchen gained seven or eight pounds from eating scallion noodles every day."

"Wow, there is such an exaggeration. It seems that Yao Yu is really good at making scallion noodles." Lin Jingxue looked like she was listening to the scriptures.

There is only so much space in the cooking classroom.

Ji Xun didn't deliberately lower his voice while chatting with Lin Jingxue.These words naturally reached Shariz's ears.

Sarah Freeze is a foodie through and through.

As soon as she heard this, she immediately said to Yao Yu: "For this competition, can you make a bowl of scallion noodles for me to try?"

Uh.

Since you said that, it's not impossible...

Yao Yu, who was kneading noodles and preparing to make Sichuan-style cold noodles, was taken aback for a moment when he heard this.

He has good ears and eyes, and of course he heard what Ji Xun muttered upstairs.

However, even if he wanted to make noodles with scallion oil, Yao Yu would not directly agree.

Because Lu Chenyu was still watching from the side.

Directly agreeing to other women's requests in front of the prospective girlfriend is something that idiots will do.

Yao Yu believed that he was not a fool.

So he ignored Sha Liz at the moment, but looked up at Lu Chenyu: "Do you want to try it? If you want to eat it, I'll make noodles with scallion oil instead."

Lu Chenyu did not expect that Yao Yu would hand over the decision-making power to himself.

She was slightly startled, then said arrogantly: "Okay, then I'll give you a chance to show off."

"Okay, a serving of noodles with scallion oil, it will be ready soon." Yao Yu grinned, turned around and went to pick out the ingredients for making scallion oil.

On the side, Ji Xun's face was emotionless and he said dissatisfiedly: "Barbarian, you'd better make more copies. How dare you show affection in front of the coach? I really don't want to mess around anymore!"

……

Scallion oil noodles are a specialty snack in Shanghai.

To paraphrase a food documentary: "Shencheng people's day can also start with a bowl of scallion noodles."

For this kind of food, there are simple ways, common ways, and luxurious ways.

The simplest scallion noodles, it only takes 5 minutes to make.

Just boil the ready-made vermicelli in boiling water, then pour in cold water, add sesame paste, scallion oil, soy sauce, and salt, and stir.

As for the delicate scallion oil noodles, the method is much more complicated.

First of all, the noodles used for mixing noodles must be fresh handmade noodles.This kind of hand-dried noodles requires not only flour, but also a certain proportion of japonica rice flour and sticky rice flour.

Only in this way can the noodles be made more resilient.

Then, the most critical point in making noodles is to boil scallion oil.

This scallion oil is not simply put the scallions in the oil pan and fry it once.

The particular way to make scallion oil is to use the white part of scallions, cinnamon, star anise, fennel, onions and spring onions.

When boiling scallion oil, you must first heat the oil to half-baked, then add scallion whites, cinnamon and star anise, and after half a minute, quickly turn to low heat and add minced onion and cumin.

After simmering for 10 minutes on such a low heat, you have to remove all the scallions inside, then put the shallots in and continue frying for 10 minutes.

Then, take out the fried shallots, sprinkle some raw black sesame seeds into it, and fry for another minute.

In this way, the filtered scallion oil is the authentic scallion oil.

Yao Yu's scallion oil recipe is even more complicated than this.

Because it was cooked on site, Yao Yu couldn't find raw sesame seeds, so he used bay leaves and basil instead.

After he finished boiling the scallion oil, the whole cooking classroom was filled with the aroma of oil.

At this moment, not to mention Shariz, who yearned for Chinese food, even Ji Xun, Yuan Peng, who were not too hungry, and Qin Ming, who was Yao Yu's opponent, couldn't help swallowing wildly.

This... this damn thing is too fragrant.

Even if Yao Yu had no other skills and just set up a stall selling scallion oil noodles, he would still be able to make a lot of money!
