Chapter 196 Nanyang Vegetables

"Good guy." Shang Luo understood immediately.Why do they put fried beef river in the main meal instead of light meal.Because on this plane, the authentic dry fried beef will be cooked in a formal way, and it will be fried directly in the kitchen.

"There is a kitchen on this plane? Where is it?"

“We have a standard star kitchen with licensed outside chefs for catering. The kitchen is just up the stairs on the other side of the stairs. The menu changes depending on the season and depending on the chef. Available this season Nanyang cuisine is one of the five major cuisines, and some Cantonese dishes are also available.”

"Ah~~" Shang Luo nodded.He has long known the five major cuisines. In addition to Sichuan, Shandong, Yuehuai, there is also a "Southern Sea Cuisine" that is well-known throughout the country.Nanyang cuisine is a cuisine developed in Nanyang. At the beginning, it was only the hometown dishes of various parties when they went to Nanyang. However, there have been some "improvement" in Nanyang to adapt to the tropical climate.Later, due to the vigorous promotion of Guoxingjia, Nanyang cuisine gradually developed into the fifth largest cuisine—in other words, like the other four cuisines, it was all based on money.

However, Nanyang cuisine can be called the fifth largest cuisine, and it also has its unique secrets——

"Southern cuisine is characterized by the use of fresh spices." Chief Purser Huang introduced.Although this is a formulaic introduction, but with the sincerity unique to introducing the dishes of your hometown, "Most of the spices you eat in Kinai are shipped back from Nanyang. Nothing difficult. But in the process of forming the major cuisines, only Nanyang cuisine can directly contact fresh, not dried spices, so it has the unique flavor of Nanyang cuisine."

"For example?" Shangluo asked, "What are the examples?"

"For example, there are two types of pepper that you often eat, black pepper and white pepper. But Nanyang cuisine uses five kinds of pepper: green pepper, black pepper, red pepper, white pepper and rose pepper."

"These, what's the difference?"

"There is a big difference for Nanyang. First of all, except for rose pepper, the other four are actually different forms of pepper berries."

"Is pepper originally a berry?" Shangluo knew for the first time.The peppers he saw were generally shriveled, and from a distance, like some kind of bean.He always thought that pepper should grow in pods like edamame.

"Yes, pepper is a kind of berry. If you go to Pontianak for a visit, there is a street in Pontianak dedicated to planting a whole street of ornamental peppers. The red ones are very beautiful. When the pepper berries just come out, they are green: in Pick it when it is green, which is the green pepper used in Nanyang cuisine. Green pepper can only taste its unique flavor when it is fresh, because those aromatic substances are not stable and will evaporate easily; in green pepper When it is processed, it is the common black pepper, but black pepper is also a variety that has only entered Kinai in recent decades;
"After that is red pepper. Red pepper is the pepper berry after ripening. Compared with green pepper and black pepper, it has a more stable and restrained flavor. When processing red pepper, it is the most common white pepper. White pepper It has a long history in Kinai. The major cuisines generally use white pepper, but recently added the use of black pepper. Currently, green pepper and red pepper are only used in Nanyang cuisine. You will soon be able to Taste the unique flavors of fresh spices."

"What about rose pepper?" Shang Luo asked.

"Strictly speaking, rose pepper is not pepper. It is another relative of pepper from Brazil. Nanyang has only begun to eat it in recent years. Rose pepper is pink and has almost no peppery spicy taste, but It looks good and is suitable for seasoning in desserts. You can see that there is 'Pepper Ice Cream' at the back of the menu. This is a new product in the past two years. It uses rose pepper that has almost no spicy taste. The pink fruit is decorated with white ice cream, It’s very pretty, and the slight spiciness can fully extract the creamy taste of Haozhou’s special products. We solemnly recommend this new product to you.”

"Hey~" Wen Yuan asked in a low voice, "Why is it called Rose Pepper and not Pink Pepper? The name is so confusing."

Shangluo also stopped.This question makes sense, and he intends to ask.

"Stupid." Lu Liang took a look, "They are from Fujian. Try to pronounce pink pepper and pink pepper yourself."

"." He and Wen Yuan looked at each other, and tried to make up the pronunciation. They really couldn't pronounce it, just like the pink phoenix and bee flower conditioner.

"Cough" Shang Luo nodded.Regardless of the name, there are so many ways to eat pepper alone, and he started flipping through the menu with great interest——

At the front are the specially marked "Four Heavenly Kings of Nanyang Cuisine".From dining tables in Guoxing to roadside stalls in Sin Chew, the four classic Nanyang dishes are sold everywhere.

Hainan Chicken Rice
Hokkien Fried Noodles
Bak Kut Teh

Laksa (Note: Spicy coconut milk noodle soup)

Shang Luo blinked.He has eaten Hainanese chicken rice
"Is Hainanese chicken rice a Nanyang dish? Why is it called Hainanese chicken rice?" Shang Luo asked.

“Because Hainanese chicken rice is the chicken rice brought to Nanyang by Hainan immigrants. Different from Hainan’s local chicken rice, Nanyang’s ‘Hainan chicken rice’ has different dipping sauces. We have red, yellow, green and soy sauce four-color dipping sauce. Ingredients - each dish recommended here represents a part of Nanyang. Hainan chicken rice comes from Hainan, and Fujian fried noodles are naturally from Fujian. They are stir-fried noodles with seafood after adding broth. The first two are Pontianak Bak Kut Teh is a specialty of Sin Chew, because Sin Chew mainly comes from immigrants from Guangdong. As for laksa.”

She thought for a while: "Laksa is an improved Nanyang native dish, which originated from the original Nanyang native dish. It is a spicy coconut milk soup noodle. Many indigenous dishes have been included in the Nanyang cuisine category after improvement. The surname believes that these dishes represent the unique culture of Nanyang. People from all over the world bring dishes from all over the world to their new home in Nanyang. And you can’t find such dishes in Hainan, Fujian and Guangdong. ——For example, Hainan chicken rice is different from Hainan chicken rice. Fujian fried noodles are different from Fujian fried noodles. Although bak kut teh is also a Cantonese soup cooking method, it also adds spices that are not available in the local area. As for laksa, the local soil People will not eat such soft dishes. Of course, we recommend that you choose one. These four are staple foods that can fill you up, and there are more special dishes in the back. For example, on the next page, we recommend this one ——Yes, this curry crab is the specialty of this season.”

She looked up, but saw all four of them pointing to this page:
"Wait. Do you want all four? All four of you? Okay, I'll write it down." She didn't say anything, but just wrote down the order for four people on the menu, "Do you want curry crab too?" ?Okay, four curry crabs. Young is good, eat as much as you want."
