Food customizer.

A long time ago, Su Chen had never taken the initiative to cook Huaiyang cuisine at Delicious, except for the two times he cooked Huaiyang cuisine because of the arrival of Jiang Yuan and the Jiang brothers.

The truth is, in Su Chen’s culinary philosophy, there is really nothing great to do with Huaiyang cuisine.

When it comes to seasoning, any cuisine is better and more delicious than his.

Speaking of ingredients, today's society is different from what it was back then. In that era when it was difficult for everyone to have enough food, there were all kinds of seasonal ingredients available all year round. The dishes created in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangsu areas were indeed unique.

But in today’s society, if you want to eat something, you can just place an order online, and the food you buy may not necessarily be much worse than the food from its place of origin.

So what are the advantages of Huaiyang cuisine?

Authentic flavor, rich but not greasy, crispy and fall-off-the-bone?

But the question is, can this thing be called an advantage?

So Su Chen spent nearly seven days in the practice room to prepare the four dishes and one soup. In reality, the rhythm would be basically to rest for two hours and then go back to the practice room to work for sixteen hours.

I used almost all the skills in the cooking process to the extreme, but still failed to achieve my ideal: all of them were S-level.

是 的

So far, the six guests have tasted the egg siu mai and lotus root pork, which were just mediocre A-grade.

And now!

Su Chen peeled the leaves and stems of the vegetables and rinsed them with clean water, cut them into olive shapes, and then stood the vegetables upright and cut them into cross shapes with a knife.

This dish of chicken oil and green vegetables is the first S-level dish among the four dishes and one soup!

At first Su Chen was also a little surprised.

Because this dish is so simple to prepare!

It was so simple that it could be made directly at home as a home-cooked dish, and he achieved S-level on his first try. However, no matter how he changed it afterwards, he could not upgrade to the next level.

At that time, Su Chen understood that this was a dish with a low bar. It was the kind of dish that would taste good even if you were not very good at cooking as long as you followed the steps in the recipe.

But it’s hard to make it more delicious.

Place the wok on high heat and add lard into the wok.

Frying vegetables is different from frying meat. When the oil is about 50% hot, put the processed vegetables into the pot. Gently push the colander a few times and the vegetables will immediately turn emerald green.

This means that the vegetables are about 50% mature at this time.

Immediately take out all the vegetables and put them in a strainer to drain the oil.

Pour out some of the lard in the original wok and leave some, then add chicken broth, chicken fat, salt, and the vegetables that have just been drained into the wok.

"This dish looks somewhat similar to Cantonese cuisine. May I know its name?" Li Wenkui asked.

Wang Wenquan next to him thought for a moment and said, "This is a relatively common dish in Huaiyang cuisine. I don't know where Boss Su got the idea to make these strange dishes."

Li Wenkui said "oh" in confusion, turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Wenquan thought for a moment and said, "This dish of chicken oil and cabbage heart is like having a stir-fried phoenix tail in a Sichuan restaurant, a stir-fried green vegetable in a Cantonese restaurant, or a stir-fried vegetarian dish in a Shandong restaurant. In short, it is just a home-cooked dish of seasonal vegetables."

Li Wenkui still didn't understand what Wang Wenquan wanted to say. He always felt that his chef didn't speak clearly today. Fortunately, Wang Wenquan didn't finish speaking, so he continued.

"It stands to reason that anyone who knows a lot about banquets would not choose such a homely dish to be served at the table, so I am a little curious as to why Boss Su chose such a dish."

Li Wenkui: ???

After talking for so long, you still don’t know?

Since you don't know, why are you talking so much nonsense? You made me think that this dish was so awesome that I almost asked why we don't have this dish in Building 3.

In this case, Li Wenkui did not continue to ask.

He temporarily shifted his attention away from the vegetable in front of Su Chen and looked instead at the chicken wings that were still bubbling over there. He felt that the tender chicken wings would definitely rot after bubbling in the casserole for such a long time.

The vegetables in the wok were slowly cooked over low heat for three minutes, and Su Chen looked closely at the texture of the vegetables.

It looks tender at first glance, but if you observe carefully, you will find that near the place where the sleep fluctuations are larger, the vegetables are obviously a little weak when they shake with the water waves.

"it's time."

Su Chen simply reached out and adjusted the heat to the maximum, and the soup, which was originally slightly boiling, immediately began to boil violently.

Under the high heat, and coupled with the fact that the wok consumes water, the amount of water in the pot is decreasing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye!

This violent reaction also drew everyone's attention back to their distracted thoughts.

It was also under the high fire that the vegetables in the pot, which originally looked tender, now looked a little soft. In less than a minute, there was almost no water in the pot, leaving only the chicken oil that was added later, wrapping the surface of the vegetables.

Add a small amount of Ajinomoto and pour half a bowl of prepared wet flour into the pot to thicken.

"Shuyu."

Ling Shuyu was very tactful and brought out six clean small bowls, also made of bone china. When Su Chen put the vegetables from the pot into one of the bowls, he could even see a faint green light coming from the outside of the small bowl.

"What happened just now? Why did this vegetable suddenly become so green?" Li Wenkui had been staring at the casserole over there. When he noticed something strange in the small bowl, he found it incredible.

"This..." Wang Wenquan looked at the small bone china bowl in surprise, and even suspected that Su Chen used this material on purpose. "I don't know either."

He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out why the vegetable suddenly changed from its original ordinary light green to this extremely exaggerated emerald green after being taken out of the pot!

Moreover, if you look closely, you will find it.

The surface of the green vegetables in the small bowl is obviously covered with a layer of slightly thick transparent liquid, which is also the most distinctive feature of Huaiyang cuisine: thick but not greasy.

Six small bowls were brought to the guests by He Shuting, Ling Shuyu and others.

Su Chen looked at the alarm clock next to the small casserole. There was still one minute left before the ten minutes were up, so he was not in a hurry.

The chicken wings have been simmered on low heat for ten minutes. Now add some simple seasonings and chicken broth and simmer for another ten minutes. The chicken wings can be eaten just after the guests have finished eating the vegetables. This timing is perfect!

Zhang Maolin didn't rush to eat this time.

It’s different from the previous dishes, such as the lotus meat, which is hot but can still be eaten directly after blowing on it a few times.

This vegetable looks harmless to humans and animals, and you can't even detect the heat emanating from the surface, but if anyone dares to underestimate it.

For example.

Li Wenkui blew on it as usual, wondering in his heart, why didn’t the dish feel hot right after it came out of the pot?

Then he thought that if he was slow, Zhang Maolin would probably eat five or six vegetables at a time.

He immediately opened his mouth wide, even bending a long piece of vegetable back before putting it in his mouth.

'It's not really hot, that'

hiss! ! !

Li Wenkui suddenly widened his eyes, clenched his fists in pain, looked around, and almost without hesitation, spat the vegetables in his mouth back into the bowl.

Then he took a deep breath of cold air.

'Shit, why is this thing so hot?'

Li Wenkui's tongue moved around in his mouth and he felt a few small bumps vaguely appearing in the upper part of his mouth.

"Damn it! I got blisters from the burns! Luckily no one saw it!"

Even so, after the pain eased a little, Li Wenkui still felt the fresh taste floating in his mouth.

I don’t know how to put it, it’s just one word: fresh.

The several dishes we had today all highlighted the characteristic of "freshness", but the freshness that each dish brought to the taste buds was completely different. The meat was fresh, the shrimp was fresh, and now the vegetables were fresh!

Li Wenkui looked down at the dish. After risking being scalded to death by eating the layer of fat covering the surface of the vegetables, the vegetables no longer looked as green as before.

'The freshness of the vegetables is stewed in the soup, and with the fresh flavor of the chicken soup, this dish is great! '

Although Wang Wenquan had just said that this dish was at the level of a home-cooked dish in Huaiyang cuisine, Li Wenkui still silently decided that after returning to Beijing this time, he would definitely add this dish to the menu of Building No. 3.

And at the door.

Aunt Fang saw this scene clearly.

"That guy is really interesting. He spit out the food he had eaten. Did the boss cook this dish poorly?"

Cui Yufen gritted his teeth and looked at it carefully for a while, "It shouldn't be. If my guess is correct, it should be burned."

Lu Yongliang wanted to laugh, but was too embarrassed to do so, so he could only chat to ease the tension. "This kind of food wrapped in rich oil is the most dangerous. It may look like nothing on the surface, but if you take a big bite, it can burn your tongue."

This is just like when you make soup at home. If there is a layer of oil floating on the surface but it doesn’t look like it’s steaming, don’t be fooled by that appearance.

If you really take a gulp of it, you'll probably be so hot that you won't be able to eat for several days.

Li Wenkui licked the blisters in his mouth and it didn’t hurt so much anymore.

Then he picked up the piece of 'imported' vegetables again and ate it again.

"Well?"

As soon as he put it in his mouth, his expression immediately became subtle.

"Why is it crispy?"

Contrast, the feeling this dish gave him was contrast!

It's such a tender green color, and it should look crispy in texture no matter what. But when you actually put it in your mouth, the first feeling it brings is actually crispy!

If you continue chewing it a few more times, you will find that the crispy texture only comes from the surface of the vegetables. In fact, the inside of the vegetables is completely soft and rotten!

It seemed that after just a few sips, the green vegetables melted into juice and flowed in the mouth, leaving only the lingering fragrance between the teeth.

It’s the taste of nature!

The previous dish of peony and white fungus washed away the meaty aroma in my mouth and stomach, and this dish of green vegetables allowed my clean taste buds to take a direct trip to nature.

"It's delicious!" Li Wenkui turned his head subconsciously and said, "Thank you for your help."

He Shuting sighed.

I really don’t know what to say about this big boss.

"Excuse me, the vegetable owner made 24 vegetables in total, and they have all been eaten over there. If you want to eat more, why don't you come to the 19th floor next time?"

What else can be done?

Just now, Li Wenkui did it twice, inhaling and licking his lips.

Zhang Maolin and his friends over there carefully took a bite, ate it, and then had another bite.

Even though he eats one bite at a time, his speed is quite fast if you compare it to other foods.

"what?"

Li Wenkui looked to his left in disbelief.

A row of people.

He was wiping his mouth, and it was hard to tell whether his expression showed satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but he looked very happy anyway!

"This vegetable is good. Don't be fooled by its plain appearance. It actually tastes quite special!" Zhang Maolin tasted it and realized that this vegetable was the highlight of the day.

The two meat dishes I just ate were delicious, but I wanted to eat more of this vegetable.

He ate seven.

The data analyst also felt a little regretful, mainly because he ate too few, only four. "I never thought that green vegetables could be cooked like this, with that taste and fragrance. If they didn't know I was eating, I would have felt like I was meditating and resting in some primeval forest!"

Wang Wenquan's forehead was covered with sweat.

Aren't you exaggerating too much?

What are you talking about meditating in the primeval forest? Why don’t you say that you ate a forest?

But to be honest, Wang Wenquan had to admit from the bottom of his heart that this dish was the most incredible vegetable he had ever eaten in all his years in the industry.

The contrast between appearance and taste will make people feel a little surprised and delighted when they first taste it.

The fragrance brought by the green vegetables is the soul of this dish.

'It turns out that the taste of vegetables can be so concrete! '

Yes, that’s how Wang Wenquan feels.

just like.

He frowned and thought carefully for a long time. The feeling just now was like smelling a quilt that had been dried in the sun for a day. He could smell the scent of sunshine.

It was as if the taste that was usually hard to detect completely exploded in one's mouth at that moment!

"How on earth did he do that?"

At this moment, Wang Wenquan was absolutely certain that if this vegetable appeared on the state banquet table, it would definitely be the most popular dish!

No one can resist the taste from nature!

Just as Wang Wenquan was thinking about how to ask Boss Su for advice on how to cook this dish after dinner.

Something new appeared before my eyes.

As new things appeared, Su Chen's voice also sounded.

"This dish is called Royal Concubine Chicken Wings, and I believe everyone is familiar with it. According to the topic given by the association, I have prepared today's four dishes and one soup, please enjoy it."

After the twenty-four chicken wings were returned to the small casserole, the braising soup was poured in and simmered for another ten minutes.

However, everyone was busy running in "nature" just now, and no one noticed that Su Chen added a little bit of new seasoning - red wine - to the casserole while they were eating.

So even though the chicken wings are not colored in advance, the color still looks very appetizing.

And Su Chen is also looking forward to everyone tasting this Royal Concubine Chicken.

After all, except Zhang Maolin, no one else here has ever had a proper meal at Meishilai.

"If someone who has never eaten gourmet food suddenly eats SS-grade chicken wings, I don't know what will happen! "

Su Chen looked at the six people with interest.

He kicked a plastic box under the operating table.

No one should be able to notice that I secretly replaced the ingredients with those in the practice room's vending machine, right?
