Food circle plug-in emperor

The staff acted very quickly and by the time the buyer came back, all preparations in the kitchen were complete.

Then, the three of them began to prepare for cooking.

Fu Yu adjusted the positions of seasonings and utensils according to his own habits, and with the assistance of Ellis, he moved the cooking robot to the cooking position on the kitchen counter and began to set up the program.

Justin took the initiative to handle the ingredients.

The staff had already pointed the camera over here, and every move of all of them was recorded on the live camera footage.

At the event, three more candidates have already finished their speeches during this period.

Afterwards, the host came on stage and announced that Fu Yu was ready and could start the cooking demonstration.

The scene in the operating room soon appeared on the big screen.

In the picture, Fu Yu was standing in front of the kitchen counter, doing the final debugging of the cooking robot.

Everyone present immediately started discussing again.

Whether it is braised shrimp or fried river prawns, the specific time of cooking cannot be booked in advance. This needs to be judged during the cooking process based on the situation of the ingredients.

However, cooking robots involve the issue of pre-setting programs, and there are certain standards and restrictions on the adjustment of heat, control of time, and even the strength when stir-frying.

In this case, the actual operation will be a bit troublesome.

Especially those who are familiar with the cooking of these two dishes will know it very clearly at this moment.

During the cooking process of braised fish fillet, the fish needs to be flipped over several times, and at the end, the fish tail must not break, which makes the cooking process very difficult.

The cooking time for deep-fried river shrimps is very strict. Even a second's difference will affect the taste.

It is very difficult to ensure accuracy when doing all these manually, let alone entrusting them to a cooking robot that relies entirely on program settings.

Cooking is more difficult than you think.

At this time, Fu Yu had already formed a specific step-by-step setting for the cooking operation based on the records in the classic recipe book he had just read, combined with his understanding of the operation of the cooking robot and his previous communication with Ellis.

Knowing what was going on, Fu Yu looked very calm as he was making preparations.

Justin, on the other hand, couldn't help chatting with Ellis while he was processing the ingredients skillfully.

He knew clearly that the camera was facing him, and his every word and action would eventually be displayed on the big screen through the lens and seen by everyone at the scene.

He had his own ideas about how to cook these two dishes. When Fu Yu was communicating with Ellis just now, he was listening quietly beside them. After that, he began to think about the cooking process and operation plan.

At this time, while chatting with Ellis, he expressed his cooking ideas.

Ellis hadn't been targeting Justin on purpose before, and after the two of them chatted for a while, the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Justin is a man of great social skills. He quickly built a close relationship with Ellis, and then they naturally discussed the specific cooking plans for the two dishes.

He believes that if one is operating a cooking machine, the best setting is to turn down the heat when controlling the heat, and to reduce the number of times the wok is flipped.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't make a decision.

He hopes that the fish tail in the braised fish slices will be intact, and the river shrimps can be cooked at the best temperature, while also ensuring that each river shrimp is evenly coated with the soup.

Ellis's cooking skills are slightly inferior, but he is very good at operating and setting up the cooking robot.

He listened to Justin's ideas on cooking and couldn't help but offer his own opinions.

During the communication, Justin soon felt as if he had suddenly realized something, but Ellis thoroughly understood Justin's cooking skills.

In his opinion, the gap between Justin and Fu Yu is too big.

The communication between him and Fu Yu was mainly controlled by Fu Yu, who could bring him many innovative ideas and very pertinent opinions.

However, when communicating with Justin, he was mainly in control. As for some very delicate cooking operations, Justin obviously had not conducted in-depth research or attempted operations.

Instead, it was some of the principles he proposed regarding the settings that made Justin feel like a whole new perspective had been opened up.

While the two of them were chatting animatedly, Fu Yu seemed rather silent.

He reviewed in his mind what the success rate would be if he operated according to his own ideas, and how he could make timely adjustments to the specific heat and time settings.

The most superior performance of the cooking robot is its stability and advanced monitoring function.

The specific cooking situation is still uncertain now, so we need to make a conclusion based on the actual situation when we are actually in charge of the cooking.

All the ingredients were prepared, and Justin and Ellis worked together to bring them over.

Fu Yu finished his usual inspection and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work."

Justin didn't expect Fu Yu to treat him so naturally. He was stunned for a moment before he said politely, "It's my duty, Chef Fu. You don't have to be polite."

Justin was very satisfied with his performance at this time. He not only demonstrated his ideas and insights on cooking operations, but also took the initiative to help with the work without holding any grudges.

Whether in terms of cooking skills or being a person, he showed his best side.

All the preparations are done and cooking is ready to begin.

Fu Yu stood directly in front of the kitchen counter, Justin stood beside him to help Fu Yu, and Ellis stood next to the cooking robot, ready to assist at any time.

For the two dishes, the fried river shrimps must not be left off the fire during the entire cooking process. The operation is extremely fast and the time on the stove is very short.

However, a few minutes can be left for the braised shrimp to absorb the juice, which is enough for Fu Yu to cook the fried river shrimp.

If Fu Yu can grasp this time difference well, he can open two stoves at the same time and shorten the order of serving the dishes to the shortest time.

This way, the dishes can be kept in the best taste and delivered to the judges' seats in a timely manner.

Moreover, tasting the two dishes almost at the same time can also reduce the psychological gap during waiting, making it easier to get impression points from the judges.

After some consideration, Fu Yu decided to cook the braised shrimp first, and then use the time difference to prepare another dish, the fried river prawns.

When cooking braised shrimp, Fu Yu chose herring, which is slightly different from last year's contestants in terms of ingredient choice.

The contestants used grass carp at the time. The common braised fish on the market are all cooked with grass carp. Over time, it has become a mainstream ingredient.

But in fact, the most classic ingredient used in cooking braised huashui is herring.

In terms of taste, the meat of the black carp is definitely more tender and plump, especially the tail, which is fat but not greasy and very meaty.

The tail of black carp is oily and meaty, fat and lean, but the price of black carp is twice that of grass carp. As a result, in terms of market value, grass carp is much cheaper than black carp.

As a restaurant dish, the cheap grass carp is definitely more in line with business needs, so gradually, this dish became made with grass carp as the main ingredient.

Since he wants to prove his cooking skills today, Fu Yu will definitely give it his all.

A plate of braised fish tails will use four fish tails.

Fu Yu operated the cooking robot to start processing the ingredients according to the actual size and length of the fish tail.

Because the cooking robot was doing the cutting, Fu Yu gave up his usual kitchen knife and chose a special fish knife instead.

The cooking robot followed the program instructions and made a precise vertical cut along the left side of the fish's central spine, but it did not cut it off and only penetrated 2/3 of the way into the fish.

At this time, the images in the operation room were also synchronously transmitted to the screen in the activity hall.

Everyone saw Fu Yu controlling the cooking robot to process fresh fish.

Those who knew a little about this dish were stunned!
This is herring?
Shouldn’t braised mullet be grass carp?

Some people began to ask in a low voice.

Soon, a chef sitting in the front row turned around and said, "The real authentic braised prawns are actually made with black carp. As for grass carp, that was changed later. In fact, this dish made with black carp is much more delicious than grass carp."

I am surrounded by people who are familiar with the food circle, so I am very familiar with two commonly used ingredients: black carp and grass carp.

I soon figured out the reason.

However, some people have doubts.

This dish introduced earlier and the cooking example in the photo also use grass carp.

Now Fu Yu suddenly changed it to black carp. Could it be that he also knew this dish?

Fu Yu precisely controlled the cooking robot and cut along the right side of the fish's central spine, but it also failed to cut through it.

Then he processed the left half of the fish, cutting a knife from the middle 1/2 of the side of the fish and slicing it horizontally. The area of ​​the slice was very large, but it was not cut off.

Even Justin was enlightened by this operation.

Wonderful!

The degree of the fish fillet has reached the limit, and this degree can only be achieved with the precise settings of the cooking robot. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do it manually.

Fu Yu quickly controlled the cooking robot to perform the same operation and processed the right half of the fish.

Next, work on the spine, slicing the fish horizontally, along the spine, toward the tail.

During this step, the cooking robot performed very stably.

Then, Fu Yu turned around and said, "Give me the tray!"

Justin, who was standing by, had already prepared the tray and handed it to Fu Yu. The people around him were also concentrating on watching the picture on the big screen.

According to their prediction, the authentic way to cook fish tails should be to cut them into strips according to the size of the fish. However, each piece should definitely not contain less than 4 pieces so that the degree of doneness of the fish can be kept consistent.

Fu Yu's proficiency in the cooking robot was so high that even Ellis was impressed.

These simple operations are actually not too difficult for Fu Yu.

Compared to him, Justin is under more pressure.

He watched Fu Yu skillfully controlling the cooking robot and felt a little worried for a moment. Could it be that Fu Yu was really that good?

As everyone watched, the cooking robot successfully flipped the sliced ​​fish meat to the outermost side, making the entire fish tail "fan-shaped".

After successfully completing the cutting of one fish tail, Fu Yu then operated the cooking robot to complete the processing of the remaining three fish tails.

The whole process took only three minutes, an average of less than one minute, to perfectly process a fish tail.

And it is at this time that the really difficult cooking operations will begin.

When Fu Yu was concentrating on setting the operating program instructions for the cooking robot, Ellis, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Come on, Chef Fu!"

Fu Yu was stunned, and then an electronic prompt sounded in his ears:

[Ding! A task from Ellis, the head of the NPC cooking technology research and development company. Perfectly control the latest cooking robot to cook two dishes: braised prawns and fried river shrimp. Rewards for completing the task: awarded based on the quality of the dishes.]

Fu Yu tried hard to maintain his expression and nodded at Ellis.

This time, the rewards are actually awarded based on the quality of the dishes.

This means that the better the dish, the richer the reward.

Fu Yu suddenly felt full of strength.

The most difficult part of cooking braised pork is flipping the pan.

The most authentic way to do it is to flip the fish over several times without breaking the fish tail at all.

If Fu Yu were to do it himself, it would actually be relatively easier.

Now cooking robots are used instead, which makes it much more difficult to set the strength and timing of flipping the wok.

Fu Yu has absolute hand-feel skills and is very experienced in this area. When setting the cooking operation plan before, he thought it would be better to use the method of temporarily changing the settings to control the cooking robot.

Because he is very confident in his ability to control the heat, as long as he can make accurate predictions, he can adjust the settings of the cooking robot in time.

It seems that the main purpose of today's cooking is to show off cooking skills and verify one's own level of operation of the cooking robot.

But in fact, we need to use actual operations to prove to everyone that cooking robots can indeed improve cooking efficiency.

Braising cooking means adding sugar and soy sauce to the fish and stir-frying it until it is colored, then adding water or broth to stew it and then thickening it to reduce the sauce. In fact, it means stir-frying the fish thoroughly.

However, fish meat is not like other ingredients. After being cooked, the meat becomes loose very easily. You also need to pay attention to the force with which you toss the fish when stirring the wok. If the fish tail breaks, the whole dish will be ruined.

Fu Yu is very proficient in cooking fresh fish. Now he wants to apply his operating skills to the use of the cooking robot, and his focus will be on the program settings.

How to accurately control the heat, to what extent the fish tail is cooked, to what extent the pan needs to be shaken, how much amplitude and force should be used, all these need to be set in detail. (End of this chapter)
