Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 362
Bailiyu quickly waved to the servant behind him, and said, "The younger generation made a golden toad jade abalone, using Donghai abalone, which is the crown of seafood treasures. Its meat is tender, smooth and delicious. One of the country's specialties, after processing and steaming, the taste is more tender, smooth and refreshing. In addition, the younger generation has also done some special processing in it, I believe the taste will be different, and I invite the seniors to comment and give advice!"

As he spoke, he opened the food box.

When the lid of the box was opened, his hand stopped suddenly, and he stood there in a daze, only to see that there was a plate of crystal wax gourd dumplings in the food box, which was not his golden toad jade abalone at all!
His face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "What's going on? Where's my golden toad and jade abalone?"

The boy looked at it and was also dumbfounded: "How could this happen?"

Bailiyu said angrily: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

The little boy was in a hurry, and suddenly remembered something, he slapped his head and said, "Could it be that girl just now? Little boy, it seems that she also carried the same food box in her hand. Could it be that she just dropped it?"

Bailiyu kicked him hard: "Then what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you go get the food box back soon?"

"Yes, the little one will go right away!" The little servant hurriedly ran out.

"Wait a minute!" Master Johnson suddenly said, "Keep this dish!"

The boy was stunned, and the other three present were also stunned.

Princess Ziyun suddenly felt bad, and said: "Master Zhuang Chen, this must be Feng Qian's trick. She did everything she could to get you to re-evaluate her cooking, and came up with such a detrimental trick. You Don't be fooled by her!"

Princess Taiping chimed in: "Yes, you don't need to pay attention to her, she is the most scheming person!"

Master Johnson shook his head, staring at the plate of crystal winter melon dumplings: "The dish she made today has been greatly improved compared to yesterday. Not only are the slices of winter melon thinner, but the color of the dumpling filling The collocation is also more particular. Especially its presentation, it is no longer the overcomplicated flowery and full moon of yesterday, but with simple cucumber shreds winding into lingering vines, connecting the dumplings one by one, completely highlighting the dominant position of the dumplings From a distance, it looks like a tree full of dumplings, and it has the style of ink painting, fresh and simple, pleasing to the eye!"

Princess Ziyun leaned forward and took a look, her crescent eyebrows suddenly frowned: "Just because it looks good doesn't mean it's a good dish!"

Princess Taiping also came forward, glanced at it, and said disdainfully: "Cooking is not painting, and it's not about eating in the end?"

Master Johnson smiled without saying a word, picked up a pair of chopsticks prepared in the food box, picked up a crystal winter melon dumpling, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

Princess Ziyun and Princess Taiping looked at each other, both showing nervous expressions.

"Master Johnson, how does it taste? It must be terrible, right?" Princess Taiping said, "Didn't you say yesterday that the food she cooks is rubbish? It's only a day's work, and it's impossible for her to improve her cooking skills. Right?"

Master Johnson didn't answer, he was still chewing carefully, and he couldn't see his specific expression.

Bailiyu stepped forward curiously, picked up another pair of chopsticks in the food box and said, "I want to see what's so special about this dish!"

As he spoke, he picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

As soon as he entered, his face changed, revealing an unbelievable expression: "How could it be? It's impossible!"

Princess Taiping didn't know why, so he asked: "What's impossible?"

Bailiyu picked up another dumpling and explained: "When we make crystal winter melon dumplings, we usually blanch the winter melon in water, and after it softens, wrap the dumpling filling in it and steam it in a steamer. The taste of the crystal winter melon dumplings made by this method is completely separate from the skin and filling, and the skin of the dumplings made of winter melon is very thin. If it is soaked in too much water, it will easily rot. However, the skin of this plate of crystal winter melon dumplings is not only thin but also plump. , the most important thing is that the taste of stuffing is completely infiltrated in it, it's really strange, how did she do it?"

"The little prince is right!" Master Johnson suddenly said, "Zhuang is also very curious about how she did it. Why don't you invite Queen Feng to come in and let her explain."

Princess Ziyun's complexion changed on the spot. She never expected that Feng Qian could turn salty fish over and win praise from Master Johnson.

Seeing this, Princess Taiping had no choice but to wave his hand, signaling for his servants to invite someone outside the door.

Not long after, Feng Qian came in with the food box, and immediately returned the food box to Bailiyu: "Little prince, the princess's house is very strict, and I have no choice but to make such a bad move. Please forgive me!"

Bailiyu ordered the boy to take the food box, open it for inspection, and after confirming that the food inside was intact, his face softened a little: "I ask you, how do you make the dumpling skin so thin and plump that it can penetrate the stuffing?" the taste of?"

Master Zhuang Chen answered his words and said: "When you fetched water yesterday, you didn't consider the special water quality problems of East Yan Kingdom, so Zhuang can tell that the dishes you cooked are inedible without tasting them, but today's plate of dumplings is not in the slightest. How do you deal with the salty taste?"

Feng Qian smiled lightly and said: "I did fail to cook this dish yesterday. There are three reasons. First, I didn't carefully observe the difference in water quality between East Yan Country and North Yan Country, so the taste of the dish was salty and astringent. Second, my presentation of the plate is too fancy, which seems to overwhelm the host. Third, and most importantly, I follow the old-fashioned way and make it completely according to the recipe of crystal winter melon dumplings, lacking innovation and having no own characteristics... So, Master Johnson said that my food is rubbish, and he was right!"

Master Johnson nodded and listened to her continue: "Master Johnson's words sounded the alarm for me and enlightened me! Cooking is not only about paying attention to every detail with your heart, but also having your own innovation. and characteristics, only in this way can we go a long way on the road of cooking!"

She paused, took a deep breath and said, "So, I redesigned this dish today, from the way the dish is made to the presentation of the dish, I have spent [-]% of my thoughts! First of all , the dumpling skin has been cut thinner. The advantage of this is that the flavor of the meat filling can be better integrated into the skin, but the disadvantage of this is that once the thin skin meets water, it is easy to rot. So , in order to keep the skin intact and not rotten, it is necessary to minimize the water leakage of the stuffing and the water absorption of the skin. To achieve this goal, the best way is not to blanch the water!"

"The steps without blanching?" Bailiyu couldn't help interrupting, "How to soften the wax gourd slices and turn them into dumpling skins without blanching?"

The corner of Feng Qian's lips hooked confidently: "If you don't blanch the water, there are other ways to replace it!"

"What way?" Baili Yu was curious.
