Food starts with Mapo Tofu

So in the end Chen Nian gave up, not because he looked down on the little koala's meat, but because Chen Nian didn't want to make himself stupid.

Even if it was in a dream, Chen Nian was not willing to take the risk.

Even animals know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, let alone humans?

In the end, after eating a few kangaroo meat in the old age, it was put there.

During the few days when the Platinum Star docked in Sydney, Chen Nian never got off the ship, at most he just looked at the pier outside from the window.

In this way, after five days in a row, when everyone returned to the ship, all the supplies that needed to be purchased were also purchased.

The ship set sail again, and the next stop was Hawaii, but then the ship was going to sail in the Pacific Ocean. This time the journey time was longer, which meant that their sailing speed would also be faster.

But everyone is used to it.

Besides learning Italian with Tonio, Chen Nian still goes to find Xiao Huang to collect wool every day, but he doesn’t know what’s wrong with Xiao Huang in the past few days. The overall mood is not very high, even when he is teaching himself All a little absent-minded.

Looking at the other party's condition, Chen Nian wondered if he came to find Xiao Huang too frequently.

So Chen Nian asked by the way, and found out that Xiao Huang's wallet was stolen when he was in Sydney.

So that the whole person is a little decadent.

Therefore, Chen Nian thought that it would be better for Xiao Huang to calm down these few days, so as not to really annoy the other party, and it would be bad if he didn't teach him how to cook.

But Mr. Huo had to wait for a while longer, and he had to wait until he officially went to the other party's side before he could learn to cook.

"But in this case, what new dishes can I learn?" Chen Nian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In the kitchen where I am, Chen Nian feels that the other Chinese chefs have nothing to learn from each other.

There is a Lu cuisine master in the red-collar chef's kitchen, but what Chen Nian wants to learn now is not Shandong cuisine.

Even if you don't ask the other party for those dishes, Chen Nian probably knows how to cook them.

Because there are dozens of ways to make these dishes, and the taste types are those. After all, Shandong cuisine has the characteristics of Shandong cuisine.

Maybe there are still deep mysteries waiting to be discovered by continuing to study, but this is not in line with the plan of Chen Nian itself.

Finally, Chen Nian had an idea.

Found Tonio.

"Master Huang is not in a good mood recently, and I can't find him to learn to cook new dishes for the time being, but I feel a little inappropriate for such a waste of time every day, why don't you teach me a few western dishes? "

When Tonio heard this, he immediately regained his spirits.

In the past, they were all discussing theoretically, but they never put it into practice. Now that they heard Chen Nian's request, they immediately agreed.

"no problem."

Tonio patted his thigh: "But what type of dish do you want to learn? There are many types of Western food."

Chen Nian thought about it, and he didn't know much about Western food, that is, he knew some steaks, pork chops, toast, creamy mushroom soup, and some grilled snails.

And in the past, I always thought that what foreigners ate were burgers, French fries, fried fish, sandwiches and the like. …

Although I met a lot of western food chefs on the Platinum Star this time, I didn't get to know them systematically, and Chen Nian didn't know what kind of dish he should choose.

"Anything is fine, or just watch it." Chen Nian said.

Tonio thought about it seriously: "You probably haven't cooked Western food before, so I'll teach you a relatively simple dish first. To be precise, it's a soup."

"What soup?"

"Cream Chowder."

When Chen Nian heard this match, his entire eyebrows began to tangle, let's not talk about anything else, just listen to the name... Is this thing normal?
In other words,,,..version. 】

But his intuition told him that this dish should not be that kind of dark cuisine, maybe this kind of combination is quite common in Western food.

Chen Nian was tangled in his heart, and finally nodded: "Okay, then learn this."

The last two went to the warehouse to get the materials.

Chen Nian followed behind Tonio, seeing that Tonio picked and picked first a pot of live clams, then a sprig of thyme, followed by a bottle of white wine, a jar of cream, and A shallot, a small handful of celery, a carrot, a potato and some baguette slices.

Looking at the combination of a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, Chen Nian didn't dare to say anything later, for fear that he would show timidity when he opened his mouth.

Probably when foreigners look at some Chinese dishes, they also have similar expressions to themselves.

Chen Nian thought so.

Finally, they returned to the kitchen with these ingredients.

The various materials to be used this time are also available in the old kitchen.

Such as flour shallots and the like.

"Do you need me to help you? Or..." Chen Nian asked.

"Then you can help me with some work, so that I can tell you while I'm doing it." Tonio thought for a while, and then said.

After saying that, Chen Nian also went to wash his hands, and came to the side to help.

The first is to get a basin of water, then put the clams you got into it, and then add a spoonful of salt.

This step is old enough to know what it means: "Is it to make the clams spit sand?"

Tonio nodded: "That's right, clams need to spit out sand, otherwise there will be a high probability of eating sand into their mouths after they are cooked, which will affect the taste very much."

Chen Nian's heart is indeed the same. When he was young, his father did not know where to get a few crabs, and the steps were similar.

Usually such aquatic products have to spit sand more or less.

"Under normal circumstances, the process of spitting sand takes two hours." Tonio said again.

The next two hours can only be waited.

Just when the two were really bored waiting, Chen Nian took out a small pot of Yu Yu from somewhere.

"Anyway, waiting is waiting, I'll make some snacks for us to eat." Chen Nian said.

While talking, Chen Nian picked and washed You Yu first.

Since he eats it by himself, Chen Nian washes it very carefully. After removing all the things that should not be left on it, Chen Nian is ready to start changing the knife.

Just like the sizzling fish eaten on the street, the edges are cut into flower shapes when aged. …

Then I rummaged through the cabinet under the stove for a while, and found two big iron picks to put on them.

"Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Nian shook his head: "Don't worry about it, just wait and eat."

Tonio looked at Chen Nian, obviously he was here to teach him how to cook today, but he forgot to let the clams spit sand, so that in the middle of the time, he asked Chen Nian to make snacks for himself instead.

"So is there anything I can do?" Tonio asked.

Chen Nian brought a large iron plate from another chef and prepared to put it on the fire, and said: "If you really want to do something, then go and cut the mutton, remember to cut it into pieces. Such a large piece, and then cut that piece of sheep tail oil into everything, the size is basically the same as lean meat, but remember to separate the fat and lean meat."

Tonio nodded, and then saw a piece of mutton and a piece of sheep tail fat in the direction pointed by the old man.

Take them out and wash them in water first, then take them aside and cut them into pieces according to the aging requirements.

Tonio's knife skills are also very good, so cutting meat is also very easy, Dongdongdong's voice came.

Chen Nian is preparing the sauce here, cumin powder, chili powder, cumin grains, salt, a little sugar, pepper, and then poured into hot oil. Garlic sauce, sweet noodle sauce, and an appropriate amount of broth are added to it for stirring.

The main reason is that there is this condition. If there is no such condition, the old age will choose to add some water to it.

After stirring, the sauce is red and looks extra appetizing.

After adjusting the sauce, Chen Nian put oil on the iron plate, put the fish on it and start grilling.

There are all kinds of utensils in the kitchen, iron plates, brushes, and shovels, even if you don’t have other chefs, there must be some.

Wait until it is used up, then clean it up for others, and put it back in its original place.

It's not that they secretly use other people's stoves in the old age. It's mainly in the kitchen, and everyone is like this.

I’m missing something here, if you have it, just borrow it and use it, clean it up after use, and take it back to others.

Afterwards, some oil was sprinkled on the iron plate, and Chen Nian put the yuyu, which was bigger than the face, on it.

The sound of squeak sounded.

Aging is constantly pressed on it with an iron shovel, and the moisture inside is squeezed out bit by bit.

Although this is his first time making this, he used to eat out a lot when he was in school.

Even if you don't know whether the taste of the sizzling yuyu is authentic or not, no matter whether it tastes good or not, it must be pressed with a shovel before it is called sizzling yuyu.

Pressing back and forth in this way, until the color of Yu Yu's outside began to change, Chen Nian then began to brush the sauce he had prepared earlier on Yu Yu's body.

Brush both sides, and put it on the iron plate at this time, and the small smell will come up after scratching.

"It's absolutely perfect!"

Chen Nian suddenly had an urge to open a barbecue stall when he returned home.

After the sauce is applied, Chen Nian will continue to roast, and he will roast all the seasonings on it to taste.

Just like that, I flipped back and forth again, pressing and pressing. …

The last handful of cumin noodles was sprinkled with another handful of chili noodles.

"All right!"

The sizzling fish is complete.

Looking at the red and appetizing sizzling yuyu, which was bigger than a palm, Chen Nian couldn't help swallowing.

Among other things, in terms of its fineness and taste, it is only [-]% worse than the grilled yuba sold outside for a professional chef.

After all, what is the brush on the grilled fish sold outside, the old age probably knows, some garlic sauce, some oyster sauce, some Xianxiang Wang, some bbq grilling and other seasonings, Put it into the pot to boil, boil it over a medium-low heat, then add some five-spice powder and cumin powder, continue to boil until thick, and finally turn off the heat, put 3a spice powder, gold medal spicy sauce into it.

Just thinking about it makes Chen Nian feel ashamed.

After all, Chen Nian is such a major, so he naturally knows how delicious these things are.

But if you eat it yourself, the current seasonings are enough.

At this time, Tonio had already cut up the meat, and before he had time to ask Chen Nian what to do next, he saw Chen Nian coming to him holding this huge yuyu.

"Come on, come on, don't do it yet, eat something to fill your belly."

Tonio took the grilled yuyu. To be honest, it was the first time he had seen yuyu do this.

"This one is too fragrant."

Tonio said in surprise, then leaned forward and took a big bite.

In an instant, the strong aroma of the sauce filled the mouth, and because of its unique tenderness and crispness, it was particularly addictive.

After one bite, I want to eat another.

At the beginning, Tonio was still adhering to the habit of an Italian gentleman, eating slowly and maintaining his image, but he gradually lost himself and began to learn how to be old when he saw how cool his image was. The way to eat it.

After he finished eating, he didn't even notice that his mouth was full of sauce.

He just looked at Chen Nian's mouth that was a little bit sloppy and laughed.

"I don't know what you're laughing at, but look at your own mouth first, isn't everyone like this?" Chen Nian gave Tonio an angry look.

As a result, Tonio wiped his mouth immediately, and then quickly went to find a piece of paper to wipe his mouth.

After returning, Tonio seemed to have something to say.

"This is so delicious, if you make some more, I still want to eat it." Tonio made no secret of his thoughts in front of Chen Nian. Everyone is a good buddy, and there is no need to hide it.

If you want to eat, you want to eat; if you want to drink, you want to drink.

But Chen Nian waved his hand: "Don't worry, the grilled fish is just an appetizer, and your mutton should be cut up too. Next, let's put the mutton on first."

As Chen Nian said, he found a bunch of sticks from the cabinet, and then put them next to the mutton and began to wear them.

First put a piece of sheep tail oil at the bottom, and then go up to a piece of lean meat, a piece of fat meat, a piece of lean meat, and a piece of fat meat.

Wearing it to the top is a piece of lean lamb.

"Look, just dress like this." Chen Nian said to Tonio.

Tonio understood immediately.

And he probably guessed what Chen Nian was going to do later, needless to say, he would definitely bake it.

It's just that he has never eaten this kind of food before, so now he can't think of what it tastes like.

I can only look forward to and be excited to wear lamb skewers with Chen Nian.

Not long after, the mutton skewers were also dressed.

Chen Nian took it to the iron plate again and started to bake it.

When grilling mutton kebabs, Chen Nian's method is more unrestrained than grilling yuyu, all thanks to the uncle of the barbecue shop that Chen Nian frequented before.

Grabbing a large handful of mutton skewers, they kept shaking and slapping the iron plate.

The fat on it was roasted until it shrank and melted, fell on the iron plate, and dripped on the other mutton.
