Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 288: Midnight snack should be served while it is hot, prepare roast duck
Wang Yuliang and his two friends are still college students who have not yet entered society.

To them,
Where to spend the New Year is not something you can just decide casually; you also need to think carefully about the future.

But midnight snacks must be eaten while hot.

"Boss, I heard that you can order your own food for midnight snacks, right?"

"Yes, as long as the store has the ingredients."

"Then I want to eat grilled squid. Do you have any in the store?"

Have,
And there are choices.

Li Rui asked, "Do you want to eat grilled food or grilled food?"

"Then let's have the sizzling squid."

"OK, wait."

The so-called iron plate is the cast iron pot that Li Rui often uses.

Good thermal conductivity allows the food to be heated evenly.

For the squid, remove the eyes and mouth, peel off the mucous membrane on the surface, and clean it.

Make a few small cuts on the plump wings so that they will curl up naturally after being roasted, giving them a beautiful appearance.

Squid itself is not easy to taste.

So the surface work must be done.

Hoisin sauce and oyster sauce fully reflect the freshness.

Sesame paste increases viscosity.
Add a little sweet noodle sauce for color and flavor, and finally, add the spicy barbecue sauce from the barbecue shop and mix evenly.

Brush oil on the pan and sprinkle onions until fragrant.

This prevents the squid from burning and allows it to absorb the aroma of the onion.

Then place the squid on top of the onion and press the squid repeatedly with a small spatula.

In the sound of "sizzling",
The carbonization reaction occurs when the surface of the squid is in full contact with the iron pan.

After turning both sides over, pour in the grilled squid sauce.

This layer of sauce will be sandwiched between the iron plate, hot oil, and ingredients.

At high temperatures, the water evaporates,
After it turns into white steam, it also brings out the aroma of the sauce.

Unfortunately, the fragrance produced in this process will be sucked away by the exhaust air.
You need to smell it hard to smell it.

Before serving, the dish is sprinkled with barbecue seasoning, and the boss leaves the specific taste to the diners.

"The sizzling squid is ready."

Xiao Ma brought the customers' orders to their table.

Three grilled squids, with curled edges and slightly charred exterior, are wrapped in a thick sauce, exuding a mouth-watering spicy aroma.

Wang Yuliang and the other two each took a skewer and started eating with big mouthfuls.

The first thing that comes into your mouth is the taste of the sauce.

The salty, slightly spicy seasoning, as well as some small particles, adds to the aroma.

The squid tastes chewy and tender, without any fishy smell.

The high temperature of the iron plate locks in the freshness of the squid.

You can feel the caramelized aroma and elasticity of the ingredients in every bite.

"tasty!"

At some point, the shop started showing a football game on TV.

Watching the two friends, many strangers around them cheered and shouted together from time to time,
Wang Yuliang feels that perhaps many years later, when the three of them have each started their own families and careers, they will definitely remember the spontaneous trip they took.

And that time, I had a midnight snack on impulse.

The food can enable the actors to perform beyond their normal level, and will not disappoint the customers who come to taste it.

"One word, absolutely."

So in the middle of the night,

Among the hidden achievements that Li Rui unlocked, he was also rewarded with a book called "Self-cultivation of a Chef"

The pictures inside were clear, and Li Rui took a quick look at it, reading it with great interest.

The book begins by saying:

“Art is a true reflection of life, while cooking is a human activity carried out according to the laws of nature.”

in other words,

As a chef, you have to eat good food yourself.

However, Li Rui reads and studies to recharge himself before going to bed.

He sat in the living room, hugged a random kitten, and muttered to himself: "It's the middle of the night, show me you're hungry, what are you learning."

Li Rui didn't expect that books, as spiritual food, could also make people feel physically hungry.

After hesitating for a while at the kitchen door,
He closed the book.
Feeling hungry and struggling, I chose to go back to the house and sleep.

"It's so late, let's just forget it."

Santiago in the living room saw how embarrassed he was and called to persuade him:

"If you don't want to cook it yourself, you can order takeout."

Li Rui was not convinced.

"What you said, do I need to order takeout? It's just a midnight snack, what's so difficult about that?"

He is a cook, how can he be looked down upon by a big rooster?

So, late at night when most people were asleep, there was a light on in the kitchen of a house in the Fangke Metropolitan Community.

Then, it was sent to the employee group in a timely manner.

The words spoken are decent.

“The restaurant should consider adding some new dishes.”

It seems to remind people of a boss who can't sleep because of his own business and is discussing with his employees how to run the restaurant well.

There are three people in the group.

Xiao Dong, the smart group butler, was the first to reply to Li Rui with a [greedy] expression.

The other two shop assistants didn't make any noise.

There were too many customers in Li Rui's store today and the ingredients sold out very quickly, so he went home earlier than usual.

He checked the time and said, "He should be still awake."

Sure enough, the shop assistants were still awake.

Xiao Han: "I'll do something too."

Xiao Ma: "Boss, is this really okay? [Knock]"

the next day.

The popularity poll is still ongoing, and the shop is far ahead in the vote ranking due to the increased popularity.

As for Boss Xue’s shop, the votes have almost stopped increasing and it has even fallen out of the rankings.

Brother Long later said that Xue Haichao had already withdrawn from the selection and his store was closed.

However, the selection is the selection and it will not interfere with business.

Li Rui felt that letting people have a midnight snack was the more important thing.

At least you should share the recipes of delicious food in time.

Don't just indulge yourself.

Today, he planned to make some roast duck according to the roast duck recipe mentioned in the book "Self-cultivation of a Chef".

Some people don't like duck because of its unique fishy smell. As an edible poultry, it is not as widely used as chicken.

Therefore, duck meat rarely appears in small shops.

But after baking, the crispy surface really looks appetizing.

If you want to make delicious roast duck.

First of all, duck meat needs to be marinated to remove the fishy smell.

Cook a big pot of soup with green onion, ginger, onion, pepper, five-spice powder, and various spices to remove fishy smell and enhance flavor.

Xiao Ma helped prepare the spices and said with a smile, "What do you think about me taking a bath with this?"

“That must smell delicious.”

"If you really want to take a bath, I can give you this braising pot."

After the spices are cooked,

Remove the residue and season the marinade. Then put the duck into the pot and press it down with something to prevent it from floating.

After the duck is marinated, dry it.

While waiting for the marinating, you also need to prepare the crispy skin water, white vinegar, white wine, honey and maltose for the roast duck.

Brush and then bake.

The color of duck skin can be made beautiful.

Of course, roast duck also requires a good oven, preferably charcoal grill.

The large tin barrel oven came in handy again.
