[Comprehensive] On the possibility of food conquering the world

Because there are no ingredients, so you can't taste a delicious dish, give up?October will not just give up.

It was getting late, Shiyue took off Mr. Kurosawa who was sitting on his shoulders, stuffed it into his arms, and started running with the mobile phone navigation. He was looking for a market that was still open, fish, vegetables, anything, as long as there were ingredients That's not a problem, is it? !

"Well, you're so persistent." Kurosawa tugged at his collar, and looked at the navigation of the phone with him.

"Of course, I can't let Mr. Kurosawa and I run for nothing today. We must eat delicious food."

In October, I took Kurosawa to two or three markets around, only to find a shop still open in the seafood market, but the seafood is still the freshest in the morning, and at this time in the evening, only the ones frozen in ice Leftover shrimp and scallops.

Because it was left over, the boss didn't ask him how much he wanted, and even gave him a piece of cut tuna.Holding these seafood ingredients, Shiyue ran back to Xingping Restaurant.

It was a coincidence that when October came, Seiichiro Xingping was about to close the door, but he blocked the door.Seiichiro held up the scallops, shrimp and tuna he bought in his hands under somewhat surprised eyes.

"Although it's not very good seafood, it's still an ingredient."

Seiichiro scratched his hair helplessly. "There's really nothing I can do about you."

After all, he opened the door, took the ingredients in October's hand, and waved to him. "Just find a place to sit down, the meal will be ready soon."

Unexpectedly, the other party would agree so easily. Shi Yue trotted in and asked hesitantly, "Don't you need any other ingredients? There should be vendors around now."

Seiichiro waved his back to him. "That's about it. Although I haven't been back for a long time, there should be small vegetables growing on the balcony, and there should be some durable ingredients in the refrigerator. Let me take a look."

Xingping Seiichiro walked through the bar and walked into the cooking table, bowing down as if searching for something.

"Ah, I found it. With this, it won't be a problem." Seiichiro said, picking up a bag of rice and putting it on the counter.

Rice, do you want to make a dish with rice as the main food?fried rice?Seafood congee?Seiichiro didn't intend to introduce something, so Shi Yue sat at the bar counter, ready to see for himself.

Seiichiro took his luggage and went to the second floor first. When he came down, he took some green onions, ginger and garlic, and a few spice sticks. October initially denied his guess that he wanted to make seafood porridge. It is impossible to use such a large amount in seafood porridge. of spices.

"Brother is a gourmet?" Seiichiro, who started cooking, talked to Shiyue, Shiyue shook his head, he was not a gourmet.

Xingping Seiichiro smiled, smashed the garlic with a knife in one hand, poured the oil into the pan, and the slicing knife flashed past Shi Yue's eyes, and the shallots and coriander on the chopping board were cut neatly.

"So fast!"

"After all, I have been a chef for more than ten years, and I should have some skills." Seiichiro said that his knife skills are very inconspicuous, but Shiyue, who has recently started knife skills, does not know. How can it be so easy to maintain this kind of knife skills. The chef in front of him is a chef who has honed his cooking skills for many years just like the masters.

When the salad oil is heated, it makes a stinging sound, just like the feeling of a villain jumping on the surface of the pot, which is very pleasant.After the oil was hot, Seiichiro poured minced garlic, shredded ginger and other ingredients into the pot one by one and started cooking.Clams and sea prawns are quickly processed in the hot pot, just like experiencing a visual feast, raising your hand is art.

Brandy, seasoned with sea salt, lemon, a little honey, and start to process the rice after serving.Even though the ingredients were randomly brought by October, the man's movements were not slow at all, as if before that, he had rehearsed what he wanted to do hundreds of times in his mind.All the seafood ingredients bought were used for fun.

Soak the rice in water, Xingping poured oil into the pot, picked up the spice sticks he brought and began to grind on the washboard.Driven by the breeze, October smelled the spices in the powder.

"Cumin, white pepper, basil, cumin, turmeric, chili, and..." October's current understanding of spices is not very complete, and I really can't distinguish the remaining flavors, and they are multiple The smells are mixed together, and it is still a bit difficult for him who has only a 6 o'clock sense of smell.

"There are also lemon leaves, peppers, laurel, and licorice. These tastes are somewhat similar to some of the ones you mentioned before, so it's not surprising that you can't recognize them, but my brother has a good nose." Seiichiro listened to his report It was only a pause to name the spice, and then continued with the action in his hand.

Shiyue raised his finger and rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, Mr. Kurosawa, who was nestled in his arms, sneezed violently from the spice powder, and simply turned his head, wrapped it in October's coat, are you going to reveal it? head off.

"Thank you, Mr. Xingping, is he going to make curry next? Curry seafood rice bowl?"

"The next thing, you have to read it to know."

I don't know why, Shiyue saw Mr. Kurosawa's shadow from Mr. Xinghei at this moment, and he also liked to say only half of what he said, which made people guess non-stop.

But even if he said it, October would just keep looking at it like this.

With the natural spice powder, it is much easier to cook curry. Under the hands of Mr. Xinghei, the turmeric thick soup exudes a strong and stimulating aroma. The taste is rich and mellow, and the spicy feeling stimulates the nose and head.In October, I thought that the curry soup was ready, so Mr. Xinghei poured in the pre-cooked seafood and made it into seafood curry. Unexpectedly, he drained the soaked rice in the sink and poured it into the curry soup .

All the white rice was submerged in the curry, and the color formed a sharp contrast. Under the high fire, the rice was quickly stained with the turmeric of the curry.The embellishment of the oil makes each grain of rice a bit golden.

The curry soup wraps every grain of rice, and the rice begins to swell, and the taste of curry is inhaled into every grain of rice. It is hard to imagine what kind of deliciousness it would be to chew a bite.

The curry soup was decreasing visibly with the naked eye until the water was no longer visible. Mr. Xingping actually increased the firepower and began to stir fry.It's a bit like the method of stuffing rice, and it's a bit similar to the fried rice on the street. The rice is not cooked by stuffing, but cooked in a high fire.

It’s just that the fried rice on the street is mostly slender and small glutinous rice, which is not suitable for thick and round rice, so there is the step of cooking the rice half-cooked with curry soup.

Mr. Xingping is indeed very powerful.

The rice that has been stir-fried for a long time is no longer sticky because of the previous curry soup, and the rice is flying in mid-air one by one, which is very beautiful.

As if the time had been pinched, before October had seen enough of the beautiful scenes brought by the stir-fry, Seiichiro Xingping turned down the heat, put down the pot, and poured the seafood that had been processed before into the fried rice. A modified Spanish risotto.Because of the types of rice and the imperfection of seafood, Mr. Xinghei made some changes and additions to the risotto.

"Okay! Please enjoy!" Just at the moment when October was in a trance, Seiichiro Xingping had already put the Spanish seafood risotto on the plate, and the plate was quickly completed, and the fried rice was poured in a circle The ginger-yellow soup is the curry soup that was reserved at some time. Two slices of lemon are poured on the gap of the soup. The bright color is very beautiful.

The embellishment of curry and oil makes the rice on the plate look like gold that has been dug out for a long time.It seemed that what was placed in front of October was no longer a paella, but a treasure waiting for him to discover.

Shiyue asked for another plate, and gave half of it to Mr. Kurosawa. Needless to say, Shiyue, Kurosawa had already noticed that the smell had come out of his coat. He squatted in front of the plate, and started to move first.

"I'm starting." October clasped his hands together and declared solemnly.

"Oh, then I'm not too polite." Because he also didn't have dinner, Mr. Xingping specially fried two plates of risotto and sat down with Shiyue to eat.

The first spoonful of risotto is filled with sea prawns, and every bite has a strong curry flavor and seafood flavor. Obviously, the seafood is put into the pot last, and it seems that some seasoning was added during the final stir-fry. , adding to his umami.After chewing in one bite, the shrimp meat bounced between the teeth.

"How can it be so tender? This is obviously a shrimp that has been frozen for a long time."

"It's a special starch made with my son when I was at home, egg white starch." Xingping explained vaguely with fried rice in his mouth. "When opening a restaurant, it is inevitable that the ingredients have been stored for a long time, and when the quality of the meat deteriorates, egg white and starch are good ingredients to make the meat tender and smooth. When I was looking for rice just now, I was glad to find that there is still a little useless. How about it, isn't it great?"

After Mr. Xingping finished speaking, there was a very smug smile on his face, as if he was proud of his wit and luck, but also as if he was waiting for the words of praise that October would definitely say.

"Yes, Mr. Xinghei is really amazing." October didn't hold back on his praise, picked out another clam with a spoon, and put it in his mouth.

Not only the meat quality has changed, but the taste of seafood that has been left for a period of time will inevitably deteriorate. The starchy egg white enhances the freshness, and the lemon juice suppresses the fishy smell of seafood. A little sour taste stimulates the appetite and suppresses the taste of curry. The bit that came was unbearably spicy.

A simple risotto made October seem to feel the Spanish style, the joy and satisfaction of finding a box of seafood treasures on the beach.

A perfect dish.

After finishing the Spanish risotto, October was ready to say goodbye. Before leaving, he thanked Mr. Xingping for the delicious meal.

"Because of my willfulness, I really trouble you, Mr. Xinghei." Shiyue bowed and thanked Seiichiro Xinghei who walked to the door with him.

Xingping seemed to put his hands on his hips, smiling at the child who was a head shorter than him, and rubbed his head with his hands. "Where, how does this meal feel, are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied!" October's serious look made him laugh out loud.

"Then welcome to come again next time."
