What to do with a full-scale life

Chapter 105
Roasting chicken is nothing more than bathing in skin water and roasting on the stove.As long as there is no problem with the ratio of spices, the taste is not bad.

But this time, it was obviously a problem for both parties, that is, how to make a roast chicken in 10 minutes, which is very difficult.

Even if you go the usual way, you can't make roast chicken at all, and even what you make can't be called roast chicken.

This is actually quite difficult, but Brother Zhang has a unique skill of cheating. This is a formula developed with great concentration for the impatient fox who wants to eat chicken.

It was originally just a simplified version of roast chicken, but unexpectedly it became a classic and secret menu of the milk tea shop in Chang'an Lane.

It's fast, delicious, and easy to make.

You only need to spread a layer of honey plum powder and soy sauce water on the outside of the processed chicken, then pour a light oil, then hang the chicken on the oil pan and pour it down, and put a spoonful from the chicken belly Pass the chicken skin, wait until the skin changes color, and then put it on the stove, ignite the charcoal fire, add fragrant wood and dried fruits to smoke quickly.

This operation takes 10 minutes to ensure that the meal is ready, and the flavor is special. Strictly speaking, it is a lot of roast chicken, but the taste is really good. The chicken skin is burnt and crispy on the outside. A sliver of chewing head, fragrant, salty, sweet, sour, both satisfying and full.

Peter, who was still following the steps next to him, saw that brother Zhang had started to smoke the chicken with high heat, he was a little confused, this roast chicken... can it be called roast chicken?This is the recipe for crispy chicken with smoked chicken, right?

But now is not the time to pay attention to others, because there are less than 5 minutes left, and I may not be able to complete the production in 5 minutes.

But after all, Peter is also a young leader in the chef world. Seeing that he was about to fail, he simply brought the chicken to Xiao Zhang's side, and slipped the chicken into Xiao Zhang's hot oil with a sizzling sound. .

Brother Zhang looked up at him, and probably understood his intentions, but he didn't stop him. After all, it is a talent to think of such a way at this time.

When the chicken was deep-fried at high temperature, Peter began to play tricks. He put all the ready-made seasonings into the pot, started to fry, and then began to thicken the inside.

When the thickening was almost done, he took the chicken out of the hot oil and put it in the hot batter for a while, hung it on a hook, quickly wiped off the excess water on the top with kitchen paper, and used the remaining temperature of the chicken and oil to collect it for the second time. The juice is tight, the color is so bright, and it looks like real roast chicken at first glance.

Then he started to take off the roasted chicken slices, like BJ's roast duck, and finally when the time was less than 1 minute, he put the chicken on the iron plate and put it on the stove, turning on the steelmaking mode.

In less than a minute, he and Brother Xiao Zhang almost went out to eat at the same time. The two looked at each other, saw the "roasted chicken" they made, and looked at each other's products, and smiled tacitly.

Both of their chickens are not roasted chicken, but now it is not more authentic than whose roast chicken is. Anyway, everyone is not authentic, and they all use weird methods, so everyone just fights for taste.

Compared with the two people's roast chicken, Peter's roast chicken is more like a sizzling plate, because the cooking time is short, so the juice is retained.Brother Xiao Zhang's roast chicken has a stable cooking time and less juice, but it is full of charred aroma, chewy and delicious.

Comparing the two sides, Peter's chicken tastes brighter and fresher, with a very simple taste.Xiao Zhang's chicken has an artificial taste, and the fusion of various spices is very thorough, with the double flavor of crispy chicken and smoked chicken.

For these two flavors, it is difficult for most ordinary people to evaluate which is better, because they are obviously not the same thing, and neither is roast chicken, so it is very difficult to evaluate.

Is it delicious?In fact, they are all delicious. At this time, it doesn’t matter whether it’s roasted chicken or not. They can imitate the appearance and taste of roasted chicken to this extent.

After a round of tasting by ordinary people, in fact, everyone still did not come to a specific result, and their competition was so exciting just now, in fact, it was difficult for everyone to vote with their feet.

At this time, the chefs of the individual restaurants next to them began to perform. They put on the most professional posture and began to take turns to try the food. There is no shortage of chefs who have been famous for a long time.

After they finished eating, they met and discussed. If it was roast chicken, both of them were actually unqualified, but in terms of taste alone, these two young people still have some knowledge.

Finally, after some comments, they think that Xiao Zhang’s dishes are more delicious. The disadvantages are obvious but the advantages are more obvious. Not everyone likes to eat tender and raw food. This kind of chicken that is dry but not charred is obviously a Another way has been found, and it can be said that it fully meets the evaluation criteria for new dishes and extended dishes.

So in terms of creativity, Xiao Zhang is better. Although Peter is quite interesting, compared with his opponent, he is a little less comfortable.

Specifically, what is the difference is the difference in experience and control of the heat.

Two wins in three rounds, and the third round was invisible. Xiao Zhang won two games, took advantage of the situation, and won the game and won the reward he deserved.

At this time, a person hurried out from the back of the restaurant. He rushed to Xiao Zhang and said, "Hi sir, our boss wants to see you."

Xiao Ma, who had already carried the [-]-inch TV on his shoulders, stepped forward and said, "What? Can't afford to lose?"

"No, no, our boss just loves talents. Seeing this gentleman's superb cooking skills, the boss is very interested in chatting with him."

And Peter next to him lost two games in a row, but he didn't seem to have any special reaction. He just sat there with a piece of roast chicken made by brother Zhang and slowly tasted it.

The first bite of his roast chicken, you can feel the meat is distinct, but it is relatively old.But as he chewed, he realized that the chicken actually had a taste. Although it was old, it was full of flavor, and it would not turn into slag after careful chewing, but slipped down the throat.

Pick up another piece and chew it again. This time, the more detailed taste can clearly feel the layering. There is an obvious boundary layer between the skin and the meat. After the two are mixed together, there will be a very special chewing The sense of satisfaction will make people want to have a glass of beer.

right!Peter suddenly remembered, this is what the master told him about the pyrotechnics, saying that the food that really makes people linger is never above the temple, it is the kind that can be easily obtained by wandering in the market, this kind of ultimate food The fact that ordinary things can be made brilliantly is enough to show the chef's skills.

"Wait a minute, the third dish is not finished yet." Peter stood up and said to Xiao Zhang with a smile, "The third dish, I still want to see your technique."

Brother Xiao Zhang hummed and returned to the stage again. Although he had already won and there was no need to compete again, Brother Zhang still wanted to steal another trick. After all, Peter's craftsmanship also gave him a lot of inspiration.

Seeing that Peter still took the initiative to challenge even though he lost, the spectators around became interested again. After all, who can refuse a street chef competition? It's just bad, there's still something to it, and although the third game can't decide the winner or loser this time, it should be the anger of the young people. Isn't this more exciting than watching football?

The host was also quite confused. He discussed with the staff present, and after the two sides had finished their matchmaking, he nodded and returned to the stage, continuing to become emotional.

But this time, Peter and Brother Zhang put on their aprons again, and they looked at each other. Peter stepped forward and said in Mandarin with a strong accent, "For the third round, we will draw lots."

Brother Xiao Zhang nodded, then smiled and said, "I just ate a piece of your chicken, I learned it, and I want to take it back and sell it for money."

Peter froze for a moment: "For money?"

"Well, I run a restaurant by myself." Brother Zhang said, "Your recipes are fast and delicious, so you should be very profitable."

Peter smiled helplessly, walked back to his seat, and then waited for the staff to bring all kinds of delicacies over one after another.

Anyone who has watched the King of Chefs knows that when it is the turn of the lottery, it is time to consider the adaptability of a chef. Whatever is drawn is what he gets. There is no room for cheating, and the dishes of the two are different. Innovation in such an environment is basically a dead end, because once someone makes a very representative dish, all the novelty here will be written off.

In fact, this restaurant is still very structured, although I have already lost two games, but the third game can still supply all the treasures at the bottom of the box, and this pattern is opened up at once.

And because of the wonderful performance of the first two sets, the attention of the third set is particularly high, because the pre-preparation takes about an hour, and there are high-end ingredients such as broth, shark fin, nine-headed abalone, large yellow croaker, tiger spot, and east star spot. While Xiao Zhang and the others were waiting on the stage, all the chefs from the surrounding area came, even Peter Zhuang Wenqing, the president of the Provincial Hong Kong and Macau Chefs Association, Peter's master, came to the scene.

"Master...I've shamed you."

Peter was a little embarrassed when he saw Master, but Zhuang Wenqing listened carefully to Peter's report, and then nodded: "You are so arrogant."

"Yes……"

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Wenqing came to Xiao Zhang and looked at him with a smile: "Young man, do you have a teacher?"

Little Brother Zhang shook his head in a hurry: "I learned how to cook from watching recipes and your TV shows."

Zhuang Wenqing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: "You taught yourself?"

"Hmm." Brother Zhang nodded and said, "It's quite interesting."

Peter and Zhuang Wenqing didn't speak for a long time, because if the young man in front of him didn't lie, then he was a self-taught player who became a monk halfway, and a self-taught player who can directly beat his closed disciple, this is either Peter is too good, or this young man Human talent is too high.

Zhuang Wenqing turned his head and glanced at his apprentice, while Peter lowered his head in shame.

"Don't embarrass me again." Zhuang Wenqing said sharply, "It's not good!"
