Food: I Am A Cartoonist In Totsuki

Chapter 141: The practice of cooking heart

“Big Bang Twice-cooked Pork” is a dish made by Liu Angxing and Yakan in the confrontation of the Yangtze River.

Liu Xing was cooking this dish on the Yangtze River at that time, which was seriously affected by the weather and terrain. Although he used corresponding methods to make up for it, the taste was definitely different from Tong Yu’s cooking in a dedicated kitchen.

And Tong Yu also made a simple improvement on the basis of the original recipe, adding the ingredient of tempeh.

Dougu has the effect of enhancing fragrance and flavor, which further highlights the deliciousness of this dish, and the “black” of Dougu complements the colors of green and red peppers, garlic sprouts and twice-cooked pork, making the whole dish more colorful. beautiful.

At the same time, Tong Yu has a super tactile sense, and the control of the heat is higher than that of Liu Angxing, so it is a matter of course that the quality of this dish is higher.

“Chef Songyuan, are you satisfied with this double-cooked pork dish? Now you can consider giving me a normal job!” Tong Yu looked at Songyuan Guangben with a smile on his face.

The blue veins on Matsubara’s forehead still jumped when he heard this: “Boy, the ugly words are in front of you, the job of the kitchen is not those games you played in Tōtsuki, if you don’t do well, I will still kick you. out of the kitchen.

“clear.”

“Hmph, but I still can’t let you get started directly on the first day. You should be familiar with the kitchen first.”

After Song Yuan finished speaking, he ignored Tong Yu, turned around and said loudly to the other staff in the kitchen: “All cheer me up, there have been a lot of VIP guests these days, don’t lose face in front of them and let others Two kitchens steal the show!”

Tong Yu pouted, doesn’t this mean that we still have to start by brushing the dishes?

But I can understand what Songyuan said, because each kitchen has its own set of processes, and no one can get started directly.

Just like factory assembly line production, you need to be familiar with the production process of each link in order to cooperate with others.

The kitchen is not a place for one person, in order to efficiently cook delicious dishes, teamwork is inevitable.

Tong Yu didn’t complain too much either. After putting on the chef’s clothes, he went to the sink and started the lowest work in the kitchen – washing dishes.

After brushing the tableware, Zhang Yu observed it carefully in the kitchen.

Observe the cooking process of everyone and become familiar with this kitchen cooking set.

Like many restaurants, Tōtsuki Resort focuses on Western food.

Western food, then it will definitely involve the combination of “set meal”.

The recipes in the set are prepared in advance and exist in a fixed way. Of course, at a five-star restaurant like Tōtsuki Resort, there are more than a dozen set menus available, and the set menu will change according to the season.

As for what kind of package to do every day, it depends on the customer’s order.

Tong Yu spent the whole morning under observation, basically getting a rough idea of ​​the “assembly line” in the kitchen.

Noon is the golden time for guests to dine, and it is also the busiest time in the kitchen. There is a steady stream of plates coming in from the kitchen, which also increases Tong Yu’s workload.

Tong Yu sighed slightly, put on gloves and continued to do this boring work.

However, in the process of brushing the dishes, he found a small problem.

There was a lot of sauce left on the returned plate, but a lot of vegetables were left on the plate of the guests who dipped it in bread.

Apparently, there was a problem with the distribution of the sauces between the two dishes.

Tong Yu did not immediately report this issue to Songyuan, and he did not come to Songyuan until the busy time at noon passed and everyone was resting in the kitchen.

“Chef Matsubara has a question for you.”

“what?”

“The second dish in menu B made in the morning, fish and vegetables in salad oil, and sauce have certain problems.”

Tong Yu said these words, and everyone around him broke into a cold sweat for Tong Yu again.

“Are you saying there is something wrong with my cooking? Boy, aren’t you going too far!”

Song Yuan was about to get angry, and Dong Yu immediately told the sauce problem that he discovered while washing the dishes.

After listening to this, Songyuan stopped getting angry: “You mean, the fish dishes have too little sauce, not that the sauce has a problem with the taste?”

“Is it possible that I still use my tongue to taste the leftover sauce from the guests.” Dong Yu said angrily.

Song Yuan was not angry at all because of Tong Yu’s “disrespectful” attitude, and he smiled with a pile of flesh on his face: “Awesome, boy, you have found the shortcomings of my kitchen after doing dishwashing all morning. How can this situation be improved?”

“It would be a bit difficult to improve it in a conventional way. I observed the kitchen in the morning, and your workload is not small. Adding sauce directly will increase your workload.”

“Wow, you are very careful.”

“So, using sauce cups” sauces can perfectly solve this problem, and it will also give diners a refreshing feeling. ”

Adding the sauce directly to the dish will affect the taste of the dish, which means adding more and taking into account the taste of the dish, which will increase the cooking time.

ask for flowers…

But if you use another container to put the sauce separately, and let the guests add the amount according to their own taste, the problem will be solved very well.

Just as Tong Yu finished the proposal, a restaurant waiter walked in.

“Chef, there are guests who want a little more sauce

After saying this, Song Yuan’s face changed several times.

Others in the restaurant were also stunned, and after reacting, they all secretly admired Tong Yu’s insight, and only came to the kitchen for a long time to find out the existing problems and propose ways to improve them.

And even more coincidentally, a customer immediately requested to add sauce to confirm the correctness of what he said just now.

In this regard, Song Yuan finally couldn’t help laughing.

“Hahaha, it’s really amazing. Not only did I find the problem, but I also came up with a solution. This insight is beyond ordinary people countless. Boy, I officially recognize your strength, wait and get familiar with the kitchen recipes, and let me know tomorrow. You officially start the work of the kitchen, and by the way guide you in the practice of ‘heart’,

After fully understanding Tong Yu’s strength, Songyuan decided to make Tong Yu competent for his work, and was willing to guide him in the practice of “Brushing the Heart”.

This made the other people in the kitchen envious, and it was the first time they saw Songyuan in so many years and promised to personally guide others to practice.

Tong Yu was also very happy after hearing this.

With the guidance of such seniors to practice patiently, I believe that you will soon be able to master the correct way of driving concentric.

After lunch, Songyuan did not let Tong Yu continue to wash the dishes, but called him to him, while cooking, explaining the corresponding knowledge to Tong Yu.

Although Matsubara’s temper is a bit eccentric, once he promises something, he will do his best and never procrastinate.

Tong Yu’s culinary talent is strong, and he has mastered the cooking skills of many recipes, but compared with Matsumoto, an old chef who has worked in the kitchen for decades, his experience is still a lot worse, not to mention the use and mastery of prestige Way.

Therefore, Tong Xueyu was very serious and took every detail that Matsumoto told him to heart.

In the next few days, Dong Yu practiced “patiently” under the guidance of Songyuan.

Tong Yu has benefited a lot and made rapid progress. He also clearly felt that his heart was already on the verge of breaking through, and now he is only one step away.
