They Gather Here

Many bacteria need oxygen to proliferate. The interior of the steak does not touch the air, so the bacteria cannot proliferate, and the surface will kill the bacteria after frying. At the same time, after the Maillard reaction, a crispy and high-temperature shell is formed. The term rare steak.

The situation with hamburger meat is quite different --

It is ground meat itself, that is, minced meat, and the surface and the inside of the beef will be mixed together.

Therefore, after the process of refrigerating and returning to room temperature, it will definitely be seriously polluted. If there is still a freezing and thawing process, the pollution will be even more serious.

This kind of pollution is invisible and intangible, but it may cause harm to diners.

Of course, fish will have the same problem, but the cold chain of sashimi is far better than that of meat. When it is served on the table, it will be placed on crushed ice and processed with extremely low-temperature professional knives, so there is no need to worry about the growth of bacteria. Instead, be more afraid of parasites.

At this moment, Senzaemon suddenly spoke: "Luo Zhen, if I remember correctly, there is a dish in French cuisine, Beef Tartar."

Luo Zhen nodded: "Yes, beef tartare is also a complete 'lettuce', raw beef, raw eggs, raw vegetables, but in the production process of this dish, the beef is shredded first, and then minced. The part will do.”

"how to say?"

"As long as the inside of the meat isn't exposed to the air for too long, it shouldn't be a problem because it takes upwards of 20 minutes for the bacteria to multiply at a time, and to be honest, if the bacteria multiply very quickly, we're left with our heads in the pot while the food is cooking. If you go to eat it, you have to not be afraid of being scalded."

"Are you joking?"

"It's a joke, but it's also serious. For people who are obsessed with cleanliness, every meal is a torment."

There are also many kinds of cleanliness, some are invisible to the eyes, and some are simply disgusted with bacteria. After knowing the principle, you will cook everything thoroughly.

However, Gordon’s hamburger does have a certain degree of cookedness, because the hamburger meat is ground beef made on site, just like beef tartare, since it is ground and eaten immediately, there is no time for bacteria to overgrow, so don’t worry.

As for hamburger meat, even if it is as developed as neon, it is impossible to guarantee that it will still be fine after the meat is ground, packaged, and refrigerated.

So, it's still fully cooked.

Luo Zhen stared closely at Kojiro Shinomiya, whose face turned red and then white, and finally took the hamburger meat back to the oven for roasting, while the hamburger embryos baked oblique marks on the grid cast iron plate.

After that, it's combination, plate, and table.

"Taste, please," he said.

"Then, we won't be polite." Senzaemon nodded to the left and right.

Everyone picked up the one in front of them.

Shinomiya Kojiro is a professional chef studying in France, and the burgers he makes strictly meet the definition of "Hamburger" by Westerners——

Not all bread sandwiches are called "burgers", and burgers specifically refer to bread sandwich beef patties.

In other words, chicken leg burgers, pork chop burgers, and cod burgers, which are very popular in East Asia, do not belong to the category of burgers at all, and are all classified as sandwiches in Europe and the United States.

Of course, respecting tradition and doing as the Romans do are not necessarily bad things, and delicious food is good food.

The most important thing is to look at the taste!

Luo Zhen once said to Yukinoshita, "The hamburger will be wiped out within 7 bites." Of course, he himself is also a believer in this principle, so he opened his mouth wide and took a full bite.

The bread is very good, neither soggy, sticking to the teeth after one bite; nor hard, unable to bite at all.

The hamburger embryos made by Shinomiya Kojiro are soft inside, crispy on the outside, and full of the aroma of fermented flour.

Moreover, the baking temperature is quite well controlled. When pressed, it will really rebound like a memory pillow. After absorbing the gravy and sauce, it will not be soft and deformed. This is an attitude that ordinary bread cannot match.

Below that is the hamburger patty.

As the "definition" of burgers, the quality of beef patties naturally determines the standard of burgers.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing in disguise, but after being grilled on a gridded cast iron pan, the hamburger meat that produced the Maillard reaction exudes a natural and attractive meat aroma, and the juice blooms with one bite.

After being fully heated in the oven, the fat is abundant, the joy between the lips and teeth, and the surge in the mouth are so beautiful that fireworks are set off in the brain.

Other parts are also very well done:

The lettuce is fresh and dry. Lettuce with insufficient water control will dilute the gravy and sauce, affect the taste, and be unhygienic;

The hamburger sauce is also very measured, which can adjust the flavor without overwhelming the "cake";

The side dishes are onions, pickles, and tomatoes, all of which have a greasy effect and increase the juice of the burger. The cheese slices fully provide the milky aroma, which complements the combination of the meat patties.

Overall, this is a very traditional cheeseburger that is delicious.

Everything in it is based on the recipe, so that everything that is to be expressed in the recipe is expressed, and it also reflects the solid basic skills of Kojiro Shinomiya.

"Very good." Senzaemon seemed satisfied.

"Thank you for the compliment, Commander-in-Chief." Kojiro Shinomiya saluted, then nodded to Luo Zhen, "At the same time, thank Chef Luo for reminding me."

"It should be, there is nothing to thank." Luo Zhen waved his hand triumphantly.

"..."

A prominent "#" appeared on Kojiro Shinomiya's forehead.

Of course, Luo Zhen didn't care what this guy was thinking at all, but went directly to the cooking table and took out a round mold.

Wouldn't it be a real raw meat burger like beef tartare?

Everyone was puzzled.

I saw that Luo Zhen selected all-purpose flour, weighed it and poured it into a basin, then added salt and pepper powder and white pepper powder, and then added an appropriate amount of water, and stirred it into a flowing batter.

Because it is all-purpose flour, everyone is a little confused.

High-gluten flour is not easy to form into a ball, so it is more suitable for making bread and some puff pastries;

All-purpose flour is semi-loose, and is generally used in Chinese snacks, such as buns, steamed buns, noodles, etc.;

Low-gluten flour has low protein content and less gluten, so its gluten is also weak. It is more suitable for making cakes, muffins, biscuits and tart shells, which require a fluffy and crispy texture.

So is it the legendary bun?

Even the filling is sealed inside the dough, so that thing is not a burger no matter how you look at it.

Besides, Luo Zhen made the batter very thin, it didn't look like it was going to be used to make buns.

Ganri Xiangzi said in a low voice: "I've heard that there is a Chinese dish called 'Janbing Guozi', which is very famous in Beijing and Tianjin, and it uses this kind of batter."

Shinomiya Kojiro asked, "Are the pancakes round?"

"This one……"

"You've only heard of it, haven't you seen it?"

"Ah."

As the thinking of the two gradually changed, Luo Zhen's actions gradually became unpredictable in their eyes.

PS1:

Europeans and Americans also have a debate similar to "salty tofu nao is better, or sweet tofu nao", which is even more nonsensical——

Which layer should the cheese be in a cheeseburger?

Every country has people who are bored.

Therefore, salty tofu is justice, heretics are waiting to be punished by salty tofu!

Chapter 14 Westernization and Egg Burgers (End)

The food that Luo Zhen is going to cook is actually a street food—egg burger.

This is a dish made with eggs and flour. It has a unique taste and the most important thing is that it is high quality and cheap. It looks like a hamburger in appearance, but it is actually an authentic Chinese noodle recipe.

As a breakfast, it has a balanced nutrition, including flour, eggs, and minced meat. You can also add some vegetable particles that you don’t usually like to eat, such as carrots and green peppers that neon people hate most.

Of course, those chefs had never seen such a novel dish.

Luo Zhen added white pepper powder, chopped green onion, mirin, and salt to the pork paste, stirred well, and the batter and filling were ready, and then put the cast iron baking pan on the stove.

Next, it's time to make the beef tartare mold.

I saw him brush a wisp of oil on the thin bottom edge of the mold, stick it on the baking pan, then add a little olive oil to the inside to heat, and beat an egg, crush the egg yolk, and add the meat stuffing.

Then, add the cheese slices and simmer over low heat until melted.

Seeing now, other people have come to understand that this is the "bread embryo" for making hamburgers.

"What kind of food is this?" Kakuzaki Taki asked.

"I don't know." Everyone else shook their heads in unison.

"As expected of Chef Luo, he is an innovative cuisine." Tsuji Yoshinobu is now a serious Luo Fuki, "I can't help but want to try it now."

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked at him depressedly.

Of course, Luo Zhen would not be affected. After confirming that the egg was basically set, he lifted the mold from above in a vertical direction, and brushed a wisp of oil on the bottom of the mold.
