Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 885

The sous chef also said earlier that the buffalo meat is bland in taste and the fat is not rich enough. The key point is that it is not easy to be boiled in water.It is made of sliced ​​buffalo meat into the shape of flowers. After stewing with red wine, it will not be easily stewed.

The shape is well maintained, and at the same time, even if it collapses slightly, it can add a bit of naturalness to the flowers.

"No, no, it's still the same sentence. After the red wine is stewed, the original flavor has been completely evaporated. How can it retain such a level of flavor!?" Zhang Fei emphasized the previous words.

"But he did it!" Guan Yu also reminded him a little bit that it was that man who could achieve this level.

"That's right!" The sous chef suddenly looked enlightened, "I remembered that while cooking, the chef held the wine and said a word!"

After a pause, he continued: "He said at the time that 'wine and meat are like partners who choose each other. When the right wine meets the right meat, it is a romantic encounter'."

"That is to say, if the right meat and the right wine are mixed together, the flavor will not be covered up, but it will be better enhanced. There is no strong taste, and the buffalo meat is relatively light, paired with Baihua wine, and the result is stewed The result of cooking is a sublimated flavor!?" Cao Cao thought for a while.

"Not only that..." A voice came, and Dian Jie had already appeared at the banquet at an unknown time, "Can I have a seat? I seem to be a bit late."

"Come and sit by my side! But... the main course is already here." Guan Yu motioned her to come over.

"It's okay. The chef seems to have expected Miss Dian to come back today, so he reserved a copy for her." The sous chef said with a smile. In fact, it was a bit of a pity. Wang Yong said at the time that Dianjie was not Come back, this will belong to him.

"Then come up one after another..." Dian Jie nodded.

"By the way, you haven't finished what you said just now!" Cao Cao was really curious at the moment, why he had such a taste.This kind of beef is essentially eating beef. There is actually a lot of mellow and thick meat. The key point is that she still doesn't know whether it is eating beef or drinking beef.

"The first is buffalo meat. The buffalo meat is light, but it is also easier to be absorbed by other flavors. It is also very absorbent, so it is stewed with red wine. The red wine will completely soak into the buffalo meat. It’s actually a glass of wine,” Dian Jie explained.

Amidst the suddenly enlightened expressions of everyone, she continued to explain: "In addition, Baihua wine is often stored for a long time, so before quoting, it is necessary to 'sober up' by changing the bottle. The method of stewing can also achieve this effect when the water and wine are exposed to a large amount of water vapor, but the control of the heat is very demanding!"

"It's just that, can't this dish be seasoned with other things?" Zhang Fei was a little puzzled. How could pure beef and red wine have such a mellow taste? The faint salty aroma must be seasoned.

"Blanching or marinating, the specific method is not clear, after all, I don't know the recipe. But the secret must be in the pre-processing. The beef has obviously been processed and has a taste, and then it is stewed with red wine , but the process is completely a secret... It’s just that you don’t need to think about it, how complicated the skills are!” Dian Jie reminded, at this time, the back kitchen had already served the dishes one after another, and she also began to taste slowly, without talking.

In fact, this is enough. After all, we are not chefs, and it is meaningless to know so much.Moreover, if the magician reveals the secret of magic, it will destroy the original happiness of magic.

"Continue to the next dish!" Cao Cao looked inside the plate and picked up the last 'flower'.This is the only dish in the entire banquet that does not use flowers, but it is really whimsical to use wine to create the fragrance and flavor of flowers.The point is that tonight's dishes seem to revolve around this dish, and that's the real power.

"The sixth dish, lotus fish!" the sous chef shouted, and the back chef brought up the next dish one after another.

The plate is served with lotus leaves. There is actually a lotus leaf in the plate. On top of the fresh lotus leaf is a pink and white lotus flower with yellow stamens in the middle...it should be something like sauce , it doesn't look like a flowing sauce, but something like a semi-solidified shape, such as jelly, or salad dressing.

"There are lotus flowers in this thing?" Cao Cao finally understood, and it was a flower-based dish.

"The flower language of the lotus is loyalty and love. The main ingredients of this dish are the petals of the lotus and minced fish meat. In order to combine these two flavors, minced lotus seeds are added." The sous chef explained, "In addition In the sauce, lotus root juice is added! It can be said that this dish contains all the essence of lotus!"

The lotus flower is also called the lotus flower. After the flower falls, it falls into the mud. It is said that the lotus root is slowly formed.The stamens grow slowly, and then turn into lotus pods, which produce lotus seeds.The lotus leaf itself can also be dried to make tea, which is suitable for people who lose weight.

Looking at the lotus flower in front of me again, it is a 'petal' that has been restored by mixing minced lotus seeds, lotus petals and minced fish meat.Looking at it from a distance, it really feels a bit fake.Coupled with the light yellow sauce, it looks like a blooming lotus, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

"So the key is the taste!" The last dish is actually rich in taste, but it will not be boring.Rao So, after eating chicken wings with Tanglihua and stewed beef with red wine, he really wanted to eat something light, but somehow heavy.

Everyone picked up a piece of 'petal' and tasted it in their mouths. The moment they bit down on it, there was a crispy feeling of 'clicking'. The feeling of oil was not very obvious, but it was obvious that the petal had been slightly fried.

Only the surface part is fried, leaving a thin crispy layer.After biting down, the gravy locked inside, together with the fragrance of lotus petals, combined with the sweetness of lotus seeds, burst out all at once.

For a while, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously, and the desire for appetite is satisfied to the greatest extent without feeling greasy.

This dish is after the main course and is an overdone dish, so it doesn’t need to be too greasy, the elegant taste, and the slightly fried taste just play the role of succession.

"The lotus is actually so delicious?" Yu Jin said with emotion, eating this 'petal', the floral and delicate fragrance of the lotus is really impossible to ignore, and the lotus is the main one, it is really unambiguous at all.

Perhaps it is related to the lotus seeds, so the surimi and petals are well combined, and the umami and fragrance are well integrated.

"So this sauce, could it be..." Zhang Fei picked up a piece of 'petal' curiously, dipped it in some sauce, and then bit down.The mayonnaise added with lotus root juice, the light and mellow feeling, is so good with the slightly fried lotus fish!
The fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks for a while, and the whole person is completely immersed in it.The fragrance of the lotus is even more lingering in my mind, as if a grass carp is thumping and stirring up in the lotus pond, splashing a burst of water, and the water falls on the lotus, leaving a little drop of water.

Beautiful, elegant, there is a feeling that the soul has been sublimated for a while...
