Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Spice Ratio (Part 1)

After tasting the curry chicken bibimbap cooked by Xie Yunfei and Xiaoyun, Luo Tianyou chose to leave.

From entering the kitchen to leaving, he didn’t ask once about Jin Jin’s smile. Instead, before leaving, he asked Xie Yunfei to practice high-temperature frying. He would check the progress the next day.

This made Xiaoyun on the side a little surprised. She naturally knew her father’s curiosity about unknown dishes. Even if she knew the specific method of gold’s smile from other special chefs, she could only learn some details from Xie Yunfei.

But even so, he still didn’t choose to disturb Xie Yunfei.

“… Ha.” Xiaoyun suddenly sighed at this moment.

“What’s wrong?” Xie Yunfei turned his head and looked at the girl with some puzzlement.

“It’s okay, I just feel that my father seems to be tricked by others again.” After saying such a sentence inexplicably, Xiaoyun waved her hand, “I wanted to come here to help you open a small stove, and have a couple of meals by the way. Delicious, but in the end, I ate the delicious food, and at the same time, you showed off your savvy and talent. I feel tired and don’t like it. That’s it. I’m going back to my room. By the way, I’ll take these materials away first. I’ll pay you back tonight.”

After speaking, Xiaoyun took the few A4 papers and left the kitchen.

“So, what’s the situation?” Xie Yunfei wasn’t very curious. After muttering something softly, he walked forward and closed the door tightly again.

He randomly found an empty seat and sat down. Afterwards, Xie Yunfei did not rush to use the spice ratio given by Master Ding to improve the golden smile. , and searched for relevant information online.

Tamarind, lemongrass, shallots, asafoetida, cardamom…

There are many spices in this world, and because of the place of origin and the environment, even the same type of spices will have completely different flavors after being ground or dried.

Xie Yunfei isWhat I do is to remember the taste of the spices given by Master Ding, and then integrate it into my own knowledge system.

This is a somewhat boring process. After checking a piece of information about spices, Xie Yunfei will pour out some of the corresponding spices for tasting in order to deepen his memory of the characteristics of this spice.

But in this way…

Some spices are okay, but they are a bit pungent and make people sneeze uncontrollably, but there are also some special spices, such as the asafoetida powder that Xie Yunfei is putting into his mouth at this time, which is commonly known as ‘devil’s feces’.

“Woo! Vomit…”

Xie Yunfei thought that his endurance was high enough, but he still underestimated the ‘flavor’ of ferulicum before processing.

The smell of salted fish? The smell of socks? Or is it……

Perhaps because he recalled that nickname, Xie Yunfei’s expression changed suddenly. After spitting out all the asafoetida powder in his mouth, he drank several glasses of water in a daze before slowly calming down.

“The taste of asafoetida powder, I wrote it down.”

Xie Yunfei glanced at the spices on the table with an ugly expression, and took out another spice after the strange taste on his tongue completely subsided.

Spices are a very strange thing. Although the relationship between the volatile oil components is completely different between different varieties, but after they are ground and blended together, they can give the dishes a unique layering and further enhance the final finish of the finished product.

Curry dishes in India and Vietnam, basil leaves and bay leaves often used in French and Italian cuisine, five-spice powder, thirteen spices, aniseed ingredients in Chinese cuisine, etc., can be said to be the use and reprocessing of spices .

After tasting and memorizing all the raw spices and fried spices on the table, Xie Yunfei started the second step—following the memory in his brain, mixing the flavors of two or two spices together.

The vast majority of people will have a similar experience. When they hear the name of a familiar dish or food, there will be a taste corresponding to the dish or food in their mouth. The taste was very light, even fleeting, but it did appear in the mouth, or in other words, it was in people’s memory.

According to the system, this is a kind of taste memory that most people have, and it can also be improved through corresponding training. Of course, there are also some people with super-normal taste memory, and their taste memory ability is called by the system – super taste.

What Xie Yunfei was using at this time was the method that Xiaoyun taught him yesterday by the family of chefs in China to train their offspring’s sense of taste. Of course, he didn’t think that just one or two exercises would improve his taste. The real reason why he chose to do this was to thoroughly understand the curry ratio given by Master Ding.

It’s like solving a multivariate multi-time equation. Without other comparison equations, you can only honestly substitute numbers into it and calculate the result… Maybe it’s not accurate to say that, although spices have endless combinations plan, but there is only one core of the curry ratio on the A4 paper in front of you.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes…

One hour, two hours, three hours…

Time is passing, but Xie Yunfei doesn’t care. There are still two days before the deadline of the system task, but the highest completion degree of the golden smile has reached 73.5, and several blue grades have been exchanged in the kitchen utensils box. Fantastic ingredients, unless Xie Yunfei completely ignores the task in the next few days, with his current pastry making skills combined with those fanciful ingredients, it is impossible for the mission to fail.

As for now, instead of using those fantasy ingredients in the kitchen at the risk of being found out about the problem with the kitchen utensil box, it is better to wait until midnight and enter the cooking space before making the improvement of the golden smile.

In fact, the curry mix that Xie Yunfei is researching is also in the improvement plan of Jin Kaixiao, but Xie Yunfei has a little ambition. I have developed and improved my own curry recipe based on the spice books I have read in the past few days.

This is a very difficult goal, Xie Yunfei knows it very well. He set a deadline for himself—twelve midnight when the cooking space reopens. Once the time is up and he has no idea, then he will use Master Ding’s recipe, and the ratio will be discussed later, but if With a little gain, Xie Yunfei felt that he could get a piece of skill fragments in the ratio of spices.

If you are lucky enough to get that, hehehe~

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is often very cruel. Until after 8 o’clock in the evening, Xie Yunfei still did not find the core spice in Master Ding’s formula.
