Chapter 222 Cook a Pot of Clear Chicken Soup in Ten Minutes, Do You Want to Learn?Signature Jade Soup! 【Ask monthly ticket】

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Xu drove to Diaoyutai with Dundun.

Parking the car in the parking lot in front of the No. [-] building, he got out of the car with the drowsy Dundun in his arms, and strode towards the front desk of the No. [-] building.

Last night, I played billiards with the old man known as Yanjing Ding Junhui in the gymnasium on the first floor of the lower floor until almost twelve o'clock, and Dundun stayed with him until twelve o'clock, which led to a lack of energy at the moment.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law angrily twisted the old father-in-law's ears and dragged him away, otherwise the little guy might stay with him until what time.

The cases, billiards, and cues on the first floor are all high-end products, and the venue is spacious enough. In addition, it has been a long time since I played billiards, which made Lin Xu a little addicted.

When I have time later, I have to continue to discuss with my father-in-law.

Let him feel how powerful Trump is!
"Wow, you're Dundun? Hello, hello, there are a lot of its little toys in here. Chef Xie also specifically asked not to throw them away, and leave them for this kitten to play with."

As soon as he entered the door, the front desk manager in cheongsam greeted him.

The brother introduced her in the tea room yesterday, her surname is Gu, and her name is Gu Junli.

"My good manager Gu, Dundun likes to sleep at the front desk when I'm at work, and I hope you can take care of me."

"You're welcome, Master Lin, this is what I should do."

Dundun struggled to jump from Lin Xu's arms to the front desk, pulled its small mat to the side, trying not to affect the normal work of the front desk, then lay down on the mat, and continued to fall asleep.

Gu Junli, who picked up the small toy and wanted to play with it, suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration.

I heard that when Shu Yun was around, this little guy clings to her like a child, so why do I have a stinky face?
Could it be that not only people in this world are judged by faces, but even cats have learned to judge faces?

Seeing that she was holding a toy in her hand, Lin Xu reminded her:

"Dundun played for a long time last night and didn't sleep much, so I probably need to sleep a little longer today. When he wakes up, he will come to play with you. He likes to play with beauties."

When Gu Junli heard this, she looked at Dundun even more curiously.

ha?Are you still a pervert?
Lin Xu came all the way to the back kitchen.

When Che Zai and the others saw it, they all came over to say hello.

If the boss doesn't come over again, they should all wonder if they were sold to Diaoyutai.

"In another week or so, we will be able to go to the new store, so please persevere."

When they heard that the new store would be just one week away, they immediately cheered up.

"Ah, that's great, I can finally go back to work!"

"The back kitchen here is too leisurely, so I can't get used to it."

"That's right, I can only find work for myself every day. I'm going to shred [-] catties of potatoes today."

"I just made a dough, and I don't do anything today, so I'm going to practice rolling the dough by hand."

Tut tut...

This aggressiveness is not attributable to such a high salary.

Lin Xu knew that they were under a lot of pressure.

After all, the new store is taking the route of a high-end restaurant, and their craftsmanship can only be played by hands and side drums, so they are practicing hard now, hoping to be able to be independent in the back kitchen soon.

"Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't get tired."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Xu waved his hands and told them to go their separate ways.

It was still early, and the original dishes had already been handed over to other chefs. He was free and wandered to the aquatic product area to see if there were any fish, shrimps and crabs that needed to be rescued.

Half past ten in the morning.

After eating the lunch prepared by Chef Cheng Jianshe, everyone was in a tense and busy state.

Today, the Ministry of Commerce is going to hold a high-level banquet in the banquet hall on the third floor of the restaurant, and all the dishes must be sloppy.

"Junior brother, are there any dishes on this menu that you can cook?"

Before lunch, Lin Xu had already studied the menu of the Ministry of Commerce, and he was not polite to his brother:

"Braised prawns in oil, deep-fried whitebait, lotus root sticks in ginger sauce...I can make these three dishes."

Lin Xu is good at home-cooked dishes, such as dry-stir-fried, sweet and sour, boiled, black bean sauce and other techniques, but such dishes are rarely prepared for business banquets.

For example, the dishes on the menu this time are all dishes that are suitable for single servings such as herbed beef, cod in sauce, pork ribs with lotus flavor, and rosemary beach lamb.

Each portion is small, either on a plate or in a cup, which is completely different from the usual dishes.

"Huh? You can also braise prawns, brother? Then come on, our brother will let the people from the Ministry of Commerce see the strength of Building No. [-] today!"

All the dishes to be used at this time have been prepared with knives.

As for the cooking, Cheng Jianshe and other chefs personally took part in the battle to ensure the quality of the dishes as much as possible.

Lin Xu took the prepared prawns and cooked them.

Originally, Xie Baomin was a little worried, but he was shocked when he saw his younger brother's operation. It was still an ancient practice. Today, people from the Ministry of Commerce are lucky.

Noon comes.

One by one, the dishes were brought to the third floor in an orderly manner.

After Lin Xu finished his work, he wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, and then took a bowl and filled it with a bowl of unused matsutake soup to taste.

Well, this taste is really fresh.

No wonder matsutake was rated as one of the three top ingredients. The umami taste is simply amazing.

After tasting, he took some takeaway boxes.

He picked up some unused vegetables and soup and packed some, then called for an errand and sent it to Baby Shen.

Since the last cooking competition until now, this girl has never been to work, so she just packed some more dishes for Uncle Tan to try, so as not to deduct Baby Shen's salary.

In Dongming Building.

Shen Jiayue, who was fishing and paddling, received a message from Lin Xu, and immediately ran into Tan Yajun's office.

"Uncle Tan, don't let Assistant Yuan buy lunch for you today, it will be delicious later!"

Tan Yajun was browsing the information, and asked curiously when he heard the words:
"What's delicious? Xiaoxu made a small stove for you again?"

"No, there is a banquet for the Ministry of Commerce in Building No. [-] today, and there are some dishes left over. Xu Bao just secretly packed some, and will deliver them later on errands, just for you to try."

The banquet dishes of the Ministry of Commerce?

Tan Yajun came interested.

The banquets that can be held in Diaoyutai are not low-level, and the second building is notoriously mysterious, and the dishes there are absolutely delicious.

He said to Baby Shen:
"Send it later and take it directly to the reception room. The table there is spacious, which is much better than eating in the office."

"Good!"

Soon.

The runner came to the door of the office area with two tightly packed large handbags:
"Shen Jiayue, your package!"

"Come on, come on!"

Baby Shen ran over quickly, thanked the errand brother, then took it, and went to the audit office's reception room with two bags.

Open the bag.

Bring out the dishes one by one.

While he was busy, Tan Yajun walked in with two cups of freshly brewed tea:
"What kind of food are there?"

"Well... there are a lot of them, all of which are beef short ribs and mutton... Hey, there are also braised prawns. It seems that Xu Bao made them. He has cooked them several times in his hometown."

Shen Baobao opened the box containing the braised prawns, and there were eight prawns lying quietly inside.

Each one is plump, ruddy in color, and exudes a strong fresh fragrance.

When Tan Yajun saw it, he couldn't move his eyes:
"Hey, this is Cuihualou's signature dish. Xiaoxu can even cook this dish. I'll have to try it later!"

Over there at the Diaoyutai.

After finishing his work in the back kitchen, Lin Xu cut up some leftover cod meat and brought it to Dundun.

Adults eat delicious food, and children also have to satisfy their cravings.

Taking advantage of the banquet hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, let Dundun also have a taste. It just so happens that this little guy hasn't eaten cod meat yet.

As soon as he walked to the front desk, a certain cutie who was sleeping soundly sniffled, then rolled over and got up.

Seeing the disposable plate in Lin Xu's hand, he rushed over immediately.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab it for you."

Lin Xu didn't expect Dundun to like cod very much.

I plan to buy some later. If this little guy wants to eat in the future, he can steam a little to satisfy his hunger.

While watching it eating cod, Gu Junli hurried over:
"Master Lin, there is an emergency soup in the banquet hall upstairs. Chef Xie asked you to go to the back kitchen."

Emergency soup?
Isn't there several soups on the menu?

Isn't that enough to drink?

When we came to the back kitchen, the head chef Cheng Jianshe was losing his temper:
"Why is there no clear chicken soup? The emerald soup ordered by the customer needs clear chicken soup to make it. Without clear chicken soup, the emerald soup made will be cucumber slice soup!"

For such a high-level banquet, the kitchen preparations are generally prepared according to the prepared menu.

Even if you prepare more, you will not prepare too much, so as not to cause waste of ingredients.

Unexpectedly, after all the dishes were served, the banquet hall asked to add another emerald soup to relieve the tiredness, and the back kitchen just used up the clear chicken soup for a long time, and had not had time to boil it.

This made Cheng Jianshe very crazy.

Seeing Lin Xu approaching, Xie Baomin who had been silent all this time said:
"Junior brother, even if you have a well-planned high-level banquet, sometimes you will encounter such an emergency situation of adding soup and vegetables. What you have to do is to calm down, don't be like Lao Cheng who is only incompetent and furious."

Cheng Jianshe: "..."

Chef Xie, if you want to give advice to your younger brother, just give advice. Why do you use me as a teaching material?
He asked curiously:

"It's too late to make chicken soup right now? What should we do? Mix a pot of soup with chicken bouillon?"

Xie Baomin calmly said:

"What's too late, within ten minutes, I promise to make a pot of clear and delicious clear chicken soup for you... Junior brother, today I will teach you how to make a pot of clear chicken soup in ten minutes!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed to the side chef and said:

"Take two fresh chicken racks, and three whole chicken breasts."

After finishing speaking, Xie Baomin came to the stove, put a large iron pot on the stove, filled half of the pot of water, and started to cook.

Lin Xu asked in surprise:
"Is this really okay, brother?"

"Okay, our master did this at the state banquet back then, and your restaurant is about to open, so you should learn this trick, in case you encounter some old gourmets who deliberately find fault, it is enough to deal with it."

This was a wake-up call to Lin Xu, and he decided to prepare the broth no matter when in the future, so as not to encounter such a maddening situation.

Soon, the chicken rack was brought over.

Xie Baomin put the chicken rack on the chopping board, and said to Cheng Jianshe next to him:
"Old Cheng, beat the chicken breast meat into minced meat with onion and ginger water. Remember to treat me to Wangjing Xiaoyao in the future. This trick is a secret recipe that our master has never passed on. It will be cheaper for you today."

When Cheng Jianshe heard that it was a great skill, he immediately took the chicken breast, happily went to the cooking machine next to him and began to mince the meat.

Soon, the beep of the cooking machine rang in the kitchen.

At this time, Xie Baomin took a kitchen knife and started hacking casually at the chicken rack.

While he was busy, he explained to Lin Xu:

"The protein and umami substances in the bones are easy to melt into the water. In the case of pure chicken soup, the umami taste does not need to be boiled for too long, but the longer the simmering time, the more umami taste."

That ten minutes may not be able to make it, right?

When I made clear soup last time, it took almost half an hour to clean the soup.

That's still good.

Lin Xu was a little skeptical.

However, seeing his senior brother's determined face, he decided to wait and see what happened.

If it is really possible, then learn it hard and understand the doorway inside, so that if you want to do it in the future, you won't be caught blind.

Xie Baomin chopped two chicken racks into a pile of minced meat mixed with bones.

When the work was over, the water in the pot was just boiling.

He put the chopped chicken racks into a basin, and then poured them into the tumbling pot.

After pouring in, stir a few times with a spoon to completely disperse the minced meat and bones.

Soon, the boiling water in the pot turned into a cloudy soup, and a lot of froth caused by minced meat appeared on the water surface, and in some places, you could even see chicken fat flakes.

While it was cooking, Cheng Jianshe came over with the beaten minced meat.

He frowned when he saw the soup in the pot.

"What people want is clear chicken soup, what are you doing with such a pot of fishy clear soup?"

This is also the question Lin Xu wants to ask.

Xie Baomin still looked calm and composed:
"Old Cheng, can you be patient?"

After speaking, he began to put seasoning in the pot.

A small bowl of minced green onion and ginger, six teaspoons of salt, three teaspoons of sugar, two teaspoons of pepper, and one tablespoon of cooking wine.

After putting it in, continue to stir it, and then said to Lin Xu:
"This kind of quick clear soup needs to be seasoned in advance, and the pepper is also added at this time. The soup made in this way is clear and there are no small black grains of pepper."

A long-lost knowledge point.

When making clear soup dishes in the future, you have to pay attention to it.

It didn't take long to put it in.

The fishy smell of the chicken rack has become much lighter, but the soup has become more cloudy, which is a manifestation of more and more soluble substances being incorporated into the water.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Baomin brought over Cheng Jianshe's minced chicken, put pepper and cooking wine in it, added some water, and stirred it into gruel.

Everyone knows this step, it must be used for sweeping soup.

It's just that this kind of chicken soup that has been boiled for a few minutes can really be turned into clear chicken soup?
When Lin Xu and Cheng Jianshe were puzzled.

Xie Baomin calmly brought some fresh cucumbers.

First knock off the cucumber skin, then cut the cucumber vertically, then divide it into two vertically, and use a kitchen knife to slice off the cucumber flesh.

"Cucumber pulp has a slight sour taste, try to remove it when making soup, so that the umami taste is stronger."

After removing the flesh, Xie Baomin divided the cucumber strips into two again, and a whole cucumber was perfectly split into eight cucumber strips.

After it was done, he used a kitchen knife to finely cut these cucumber strips into cucumber slices of about one millimeter.

The sliced ​​cucumbers are not as big as a fingernail, but they are uniform in thickness and size, which fully demonstrates the brother's solid knife skills.

Cut it and put it in a pot.

The green and tender cucumber slices are stacked together, and it really looks a bit emerald.

Wait until the cucumbers are all cut.

The chicken soup in the pot is almost done.

Those chicken and chicken bones are cooked through, and there is even a fragrance wafting out.

Xie Baomin took a large colander and fished out all the minced meat and bones in the pot, and then passed it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove as much bone residue as possible.

After finishing these tasks, start sweeping the soup.

He turned off the heat on the stove to the minimum, and when the chicken soup in the pot was no longer boiling, he directly poured the minced chicken in the pot into the pot.

After pouring it in, you can't move it.

Let the minced chicken slowly absorb the impurities in the soup.

Xie Baomin took the corn starch, mixed a bowl of starch water, and all the ingredients for making jade soup were ready.

The minced meat in the pot gradually floated up and formed, floating in groups on the surface of the pot.

If you add some beaten egg whites to the minced meat, it will be another clear soup dish in Sichuan cuisine that is not inferior to boiled cabbage-chicken bean curd.

It's a pity that it's sweeping soup now.

These minced chicken are just acting as a filter and adsorption.

If you use minced meat for soup, you can add some tofu or something to make balls, but this soup is not good. There are too many broken bones in this soup. If you eat it rashly, it is easy to scratch the esophagus, so you can only pour it into the swill bucket.

It didn't take long for more and more minced meat on the surface of the pot, and even a thick layer of pancakes had formed.

But the soup in the pot became clear to the naked eye.

Not only is it clear, even the previous fishy smell has completely disappeared, and now it smells full of the unique fragrance of chicken soup.

Lin Xu watched with emotion.

Cooking is really an art!

At about the same time, Xie Baomin put a clean pot on the stove next to him, put a fine-mesh sieve on the pot by the way, scooped out the clear chicken soup that had been swept aside with a spoon, and poured it into the fine-mesh sieve to filter.

"Although the soup is ready, there are too many broken bones, so to be on the safe side, we need to set up another pot to cook the soup, and when scooping up the soup, don't touch the bottom of the pot, because the big bone residues will be settled now It's at the bottom of the pot."

More than half of the soup in the pot was scooped out, which was about enough for jadeite soup. Xie Baomin stopped and turned on the stove to the maximum.

The clear soup in the pot has already been seasoned, so there is no need to add seasoning.

When boiling, pour in the large plate of sliced ​​cucumbers.

The original smell of chicken soup wafted out of the pot, and suddenly the freshness of cucumber was added.

At this moment, the fire on the stove has been turned on to the maximum.

When the side of the pot started to bubble, Xie Baomin took the prepared starch water and hooked it into the pot. After a little stirring, the soup in the pot had already boiled.

Turn off the heat and serve.

On the workbench next to it, the helpers had already placed exquisite small soup cups. Xie Baomin held the pot in one hand and poured the emerald soup into the soup cup with a spoon in the other.

When everything is finished, there are still a few small bowls left in the pot.

Cheng Jianshe poured it into a bowl unceremoniously, took a bowl himself, and handed another bowl to Lin Xu:
"I learned another trick. You can choose a place tonight. Thank you, Chef. My treat is enough! If Master Lin is not busy, go too. There will be more people and it will be lively."

Lin Xu said:

"I have an appointment tonight, let's do it next time, let's find a place to have a good drink next time."

After speaking, he took a sip of the soup in the bowl.

Well, the umami of the chicken soup and the freshness of the cucumber are mixed together, the umami is rich, and the mouth becomes refreshed immediately after one bite.

The cucumber is even crunchy when you drink it in your mouth.

Let this soup have a different taste.

Delicious!

This soup is amazing!
Lin Xu felt that he could make something for his father-in-law when he turned back, which would help him lose weight even more.

"How about junior brother? Is the taste okay?"

"It's so delicious, it's beyond imagination."

Xie Baomin smiled and said:

"When making this soup, the chicken rack should be boiled for as long as possible, so that the umami taste will be stronger. In addition, there must be more cucumbers, and if there are too few, it will be dry. It does not have such a smooth taste when drinking."

Lin Xu nodded, secretly memorizing it.

After another two sips, he was about to ask his senior brother about the precautions for seasoning when Shu Yun suddenly called.

Ok?
Call at this hour.

Store manager Shu won't take care of the master who is good at making hand-rolled noodles, right?

Lin Xu muttered a few words, then chose to answer...

--------

This emerald soup can be learned, it is not difficult to make, it is not difficult to clean the soup, and the taste is super good.This chapter is 5400 words, ask for a monthly pass, brothers!In the future, I will try my best to adjust the update before the meal, and try to let everyone watch while eating.
