Chapter 71 A dish with a threshold!Learning cards fail for the first time! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Xie Baomin washed the lotus root, and prepared a pot of water with white vinegar.

"When making this dish, the lotus root must be soaked in white vinegar as much as possible, otherwise, if it changes color, the appearance will be greatly reduced."

Lin Xu watched while busy with his work.

He makes lotus root with ginger sauce every day, and he is no stranger to this kind of operation.

After peeling.

Soak the lotus root completely in white vinegar water, and pour water into the hole of the lotus root to prevent oxidation and discoloration when cutting later.

After soaking for three or four minutes, Xie Baomin took out the lotus root and cut the lotus root evenly into several sections, the length of each section was about ten centimeters.

After cutting, soak the lotus root in white vinegar water for a while.

Then take a piece and put it on the cutting board.

Start slicing.

"There are many holes in the lotus root, and it is easy to cut empty when cutting with a knife, so when I was an apprentice, the master kept cutting the lotus root. It means that once you get started with knife skills, cutting other things is as easy as cutting tofu."

Is this also possible?

It feels easy to cut.

Lin Xu felt a little lingering fear when he thought that he almost cut his hand when he was kissed by classmate Shen just now.

No wonder outsiders are not recommended to enter the kitchen.

This is really dangerous.

When there is no one around, you must teach Shen a good lesson, I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat, so punishing her with two more kisses is not too much, right?

Xie Baomin cut the lotus root slices, and then put them into the water basin to continue soaking.

Some of these lotus root slices were whole or broken. He picked out the incomplete ones and continued to cut other lotus root slices.

After all the lotus roots are cut.

He took out the soaked lotus root slices and began to shred them.

The sliced ​​lotus roots are the same length, all [-]mm square, and they don't look like lotus root at all, but like shredded potatoes or radishes.

After all the lotus root shreds are cut.

Xie Baomin changed to another basin of white vinegar water and continued soaking.

Soaking can not only prevent the oxidative discoloration of the shredded lotus root, but also remove the starch on the surface of the shredded lotus root, making the taste more crisp.

Soak the shredded lotus root for ten minutes.

Xie Baomin prepared a pot of white vinegar water with ice cubes and put it next to the stove, and started making.

Boil water in a pot, and pour some white vinegar into it after the water boils.

Then put the shredded lotus root in a large colander, put the colander on the boiling water pot, scoop up the boiling water in the pot with a spoon and pour it on the shredded lotus root.

When pouring, you have to turn your wrist to pour the boiling water in the spoon into a circle first, so that it can be evenly sprinkled on the shredded lotus root in the colander.

I rely on!

No wonder the brother said that this dish requires high heat.

The step of pouring boiling water can discourage many non-professionals.

It's not just that boiling water is more dangerous.

The key is that you don’t know how long you should drizzle. If you drizzle too much lotus root, it will not be cooked. If you drizzle too much lotus root, you can get crispy and delicious shredded lotus root.

What's more, you have to turn your wrist to let the boiling water splash evenly.

It's all too easy to spill it on yourself or others.

After splashing a few spoonfuls of water, Xie Baomin threw the shredded lotus root in the colander into the white vinegar water with ice cubes in the next basin.

Continue to soak.

"How is it, junior brother, have you learned it?"

Lin Xu smiled wryly, and learned it after just one reading. You think too highly of my talent, don't you?

When Xie Baomin was splashing water just now, he tried the cooking learning card, and the result showed that the skill was splashing water, which made Lin Xu very speechless. What is the use of learning this skill?
Are you going to participate in the Water-Splashing Festival of the Dai Nationality?

"Shouldn't it be cold salad next?"

"Yes, it's time for cold dressing. I'll make cold dressing first."

Xie Baomin brought a small bowl, and put white vinegar, sugar, salt and a little ginger juice into the bowl.

"It's a pity that you don't have white soy sauce in your store. Otherwise, you can put a little, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. It won't affect much."

Stir the sauce in the bowl to dissolve the salt and sugar.

Then take out the shredded lotus root that has been thoroughly cooled in the pot, control the water and put it in the pot for making cold dishes, pour in the sauce, mix well, and then start to put it on the plate.

There is a bit too much lotus root today, so Xie Baomin served two plates.

The white jade-like shredded lotus root is served on a pure white plate, which is very attractive visually.

"Is that all right, brother?"

"No, it's still one step away... Where is the cooking oil? I need to burn some cooking oil."

Still need oil?
Doesn't this become shredded lotus root in soy sauce?
Lin Xu brought the cooking oil over curiously, and continued to watch his brother's performance.

Xie Baomin put the wok on the shelf, poured a spoonful of cooking oil into the wok and heated it up.

Then he took a clean fine-mesh sieve, put a small handful of green peppercorns in it, put the fine-mesh sieve on top of the shredded lotus root with his left hand, and scooped up a spoonful of hot oil from the pot with his right hand and poured it on the green peppercorns.

When the hot oil hits the green pepper, it splashes in all directions, and through the mesh of the fine mesh sieve, it falls on the shredded lotus root.

The shredded lotus root has the fragrance of oil, but there is no trace of oil flower.

Lin Xu looked at it and called it senior.

What the hell!

I really got to know you a lot today.

Originally thought it was soy mix, which is much more difficult than soy mix.

As expected of a state banquet master, a simple cold dish is so advanced and classy.

"Use Cooking Cards!"

Such an advanced dish must be learned, even if it is not used by Xinguang to pretend to be aggressive, it is worth learning.

"Learning object: Xie Baomin. The current skill is: White Jade Lotus Root. Do you want to learn it?"

"study!"

A golden light flashed through my mind.

Then the system beeps:
"Learning failed. The current skill requires that the knife worker must be above the excellence level. Please make persistent efforts to improve the basic skills as soon as possible."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ?

Why did it fail?

"This is a dish created by our master back then, and now it has become a reserved dish in Diaoyutai. Many foreign guests who have eaten it will order this dish specially when they come."

After Xie Baomin finished frying the oil, he wiped off the oil stars on the plate with kitchen paper, and the dish was officially completed.

Master created it himself?
No wonder there is a threshold for this dish.

Later, I have to find a way to improve the knife skills, so that I can learn this dish.

While Xie Baomin was talking, his cell phone rang, and he went out after he connected it, and brought back a foam box not long after.

Open the box.

Inside was a mandarin fish that was still alive and kicking, about three catties, a piece of tofu, a piece of steaming beef tenderloin, a bag of asparagus and other ingredients.

"This is an ingredient I asked a supplier to Diaoyutai to deliver. When you are not busy, I will introduce you to him. If you need high-end ingredients later, you can just find him."

Lin Xu thought that just a dish of white jade lotus root would be enough, but he didn't expect that the senior brother really wanted to prepare a table of dishes.

"What are you going to do with this fish, brother? Sweet and sour mandarin fish?"

Xie Baomin smiled and said:

"Foreign guests don't like to eat things with spines, so we usually slice the fish to make sweet and sour diced fish. Of course, the fish bones are not wasted. They will be boiled into milk soup later and made into milk soup with tofu. Soup tofu, as for the beef, let’s simply make Hangjiao Beef Tenderloin..."

After speaking, he took the fish to the pool to slaughter.

And Lin Xu took the opportunity to take a photo of the white jade lotus root on the table and sent it to his classmate Shen:

"Senior brother specially cooked white jade lotus root for you, Diaoyutai's dish for honored guests, would you like to come over and taste it?"

On an office building in Wangjing.

Shen Jiayue couldn't help swallowing while looking at the picture sent by Lin Xu.

"No, they will definitely laugh at me when I go."

"That's such a pity, besides the white jade lotus root shreds, there are sweet and sour diced fish made from mandarin fish meat, Hang pepper beef tenderloin made from fresh beef, and tofu in milk soup stewed from mandarin fish bones..."

"Don't read it, don't read it, I'll go right away!"
