Reincarnating to Become a Japanese Chef God
Chapter 720: "Garlic Chicken"
The text of the recipe, Xia Yu dared to say that he could memorize it without fail.
Didn't dare much.
Putting on an apron and carefully washing his hands, Xia Yu scanned the kitchen environment, silently remembering the scene in his head.
It’s important to be familiar with the environment, such as the position of the knife holder, the specific sequence of large and small stoves, and the location of refrigerators, microwaves and other facilities. Keep this information in your head and wait for a while to devote yourself to the cooking work. Be calmer, and greatly reduce errors caused by unfamiliar environments.
"First of all, prepare the most time-consuming soup process!"
His eyes flashed, and Xia Yu glanced at the table where the ingredients were piled up, walked over, and picked up the chicken and chicken bones.
The ingredients were washed quickly.
Just as he raised his head to call the servants to bring in the charcoal stove, there was a timely movement from outside the kitchen. Four male servants moved in a special charcoal stove. The stove was two meters in size and seemed to be made of marble with a smooth surface. It looks very grand.
The other servants brought in bags of charcoal and piled them at the door.
The stove is newly made at first sight, and there is no trace of use.
Xia Yu looked up at the Nagiri Senzaemon in the outer room, and gave a thumbs up, "I'm so prepared!"
"Lecturer Xia, these are your things!"
The maid also brought him the kitchen utensils he had put in the bedroom. There was a bellows, a kitchen cabinet, and a small wooden storage freezer named "Sifang Sheep Bank". This object was once shown in a Sapporo event.
At the end of the shift tonight, Xia Yu naturally moved all the equipment to the home of Naginari, and did not intend to throw it into the inventory these days.
"great!"
Turn around and set a stock pot on the stove mouth of the marble stove.
Heat the water first, leave the stock pot alone, use another pot of gas-boiled hot water to blanch the chicken and chicken bones.
The "blanching" process is suitable for many vegetables and meaty ingredients with a fishy smell.
Let alone the vegetable, at this time, the chicken bones and chicken are boiled to make the soup. Through the "blanching" step, the blood in the raw materials can be drained, making the soup more clear.
However, seeing Xia Yu washing the chicken bones and chicken with boiling water, and setting up a second boiling pot on the stovetop of the gas stove, and lighting up the fire while waiting for the water to heat up, Erina and Alice were surprised. .
"Do you want to blanch twice?"
"In this case, the meat is too cooked, will the taste be lost seriously?"
Nageri Senzaemon put down his teacup, his eyes filled with interest.
"It seems that he is very aware of the characteristics of those chicken and chicken bones."
Ok?
Hearing this, Erina and Alice were stunned.
Is it possible that apart from "blue star algae", chicken and chicken bones are also taken from some kind of fantasy poultry?
Just listen to Nagiri Zongwei calmly explaining: "Father, the second blanching is not enough, right? That is the meat and bones of the "garlic chicken", which naturally carries an excessive garlic flavor. If it is not handled well, one The pot chicken soup is all smelly garlic, how to eat it?"
There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"I think at the beginning, I learned the recipe of this demon king, and also in the step of making chicken and chicken bone soup, I was stuck for half a year." Nagiri Zongwei said, "In the end, I found a very partial method, and barely got the meat. The stubborn garlic smell with bones has been reduced, but..."
"But what?"
Alice and Erina asked urgently.
"Umami, lost!" Nakiri Zongwei's tone turned into a low tone, "It is chicken broth, but if the umami is not up to the standard, the whole bowl of ramen will be mediocre. Don't talk about the devil's ramen!"
During the conversation, Xia Yu had successfully boiled the water for the second time.
The chicken and chicken bones are heated to 90 degrees in 30 degrees of water, removed, and washed in cold water.
But it was just a second blanching.
"what?!"
Seeing that Xia Yu turned around and poured the chicken and chicken bones that were steaming wild garlic on the plate into the broth boiling pot on the charcoal stove, the sound of the crisp water was also heard in the outer room.
Nagiri Zongwei couldn't calm down, "This is only the second time, has he started to make soup?"
"The second time, just right! Just right!"
But there was a calm voice on the side. Nagiri Zongwei turned his head and found that it was his father Senzaemon saying: "The first time, the blood was not clean enough. The second time, the blood was clean, "Garlic Chicken The flavor of "" will also be appropriately reduced and tend to ease. Moreover, this time, the "freshness" of chicken and chicken bones can be properly locked!"
"Three kills with one stone!"
Senzaemon had a deep admiration in his eyes, "He has a good grasp of the step of boiling water!"
"but!"
"But ah!"
Nageri Zongwei was excited when he thought of his sad learning experience in the past, and his tone was slightly higher: "The chicken and chicken bones processed in this way are put in the stew, then how to deal with the flavor of "garlic chicken" in the future?"
Hearing that, Senzaemon just pointed to the original stove in front of Xia Yu.
"Just rely on that stove."
Nageri Zongwei has a question mark on his face.
"Zongwei, you are too dependent on equipment!" Senzaemon said lightly, with a hint of reprimand, "Modern kitchen stoves have stable flames, but for ambitious chefs, this kind of flame, this kind of heat , Too gentle, too stable, too easy to control!"
"Hot, it is still your weakness in cooking today!"
Nageri Zongwei lowered his head.
It is undeniable.
As a chef who cooks molecular food with sophisticated scientific instruments, let alone the original charcoal stove, even the gas stove seems outdated.Technologies such as microwave, light wave and electromagnetic heating can do better.
"Then...Let's take a look!" Pushing the frame of the glasses, Nagiri Zongwei raised his head, paying attention to the young chef who was busy pouring charcoal in the inner room and stirring the bellows.
What, "garlic chicken"?
In fact, when carrying chicken and chicken bones, Xia Yu knew that the ingredients were wrong.
The second fantasy ingredient?It doesn't matter at all.
Compared with the "Blue Star Algae", which has unknown uses and effects, the wild garlic flavor of "Garlic Chicken" is too easy to handle in Xia Yu's eyes.
One word--
boil!
Just boil it, and let the extra flavor out through the boil.
And he did exactly that.
"Huh, huh, huh..."
The bellows brings the flame rhythm of the charcoal stove.
Every time there is a blast, the charcoal stove is breathing heavily. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole pot of water will be simmering, and a large white mist invades half of the kitchen. Xia Yu holds a hand for more than one meter in the mist. The big spatula leaned forward and kept pounding the soup pot.
This scene didn't seem to be making soup at all, it was more like a so-and-so wizard refining some terrible potion.
An indescribable smell of garlic, following the white mist, diffused out.
"It's so choking!"
Outside, Alice and Erina clasped their mouths and noses tightly, their eyebrows tangled together.
Nageri Zongwei was shocked.
"Understand? This is a derivative application of Huo."
Senzaemon looked sideways at his son.
Nodded and shook his head again, Nagiri Soue was completely confused by Senzaemon and the boy who was cooking chicken broth.
"Talk about the heat you think."
"In the process of cooking the ingredients, control the strength of the heat source and the length of time the ingredients are heated..." Nakiri Zongwei replied, "Finally, the ingredients will obtain the required maturity!"
"Oh, very standard, textbook-like answer."
Nageri Senzaemon put down the cup and stood up.
"come--"
Nagiri Zongwei followed his old father, and all the way to the stove where the heat was raging, he saw Senzaemon pointing to the soup pot in the mist, "What do you think now?"
Hearing that, Nagiri Zongwei could only open his eyes as wide as possible, and through the mist, he could see the boiling soup in the pot.
Wow
Suddenly, specks of Mars appeared in the field of vision.
"This, this is...?"
Nagiri Zongwei saw the situation inside the pot, but he was dumbfounded as if he had witnessed magic.
