Food That Doesn't Glow is Not Good Food

Everything can be tempura, this is not a joke.

But also because of the diversity of tempura ingredients, it is not an easy task to handle each ingredient correctly.

The temperature of the oil when it is put into the pot, the time of frying, the number and frequency of turning over, all need to go through countless experiments and conclusions.

Although he doesn't have Erina's God's Tongue and Xiaoyun's super sense of smell, Xie Yunfei has the system's plug-in. After using the [Precise] skill to replicate Xiaoyun's bombing process last night, Xie Yunfei Use chopsticks to pick up the sliced ​​lotus root tempura on the plate.

【recipe:】

【Tempura (lotus root slices)】

[Basic Completion Degree: [-]]

【Extra Completion Degree: [-]】

The final product did not meet the standard, and the taste was quite different from what Xiaoyun made last night.

"Is it the consistency of the batter?" Xie Yunfei cast his eyes on the batter. The batter he used was slightly thicker than Xiaoyun's. "Add some water and try..."

The second time it was put into the pot was still lotus root slices, and the basic completion degree obtained this time was only a little higher than that of Xie Yunfei who used the same method before.

"It's still too thick? Or is it a problem with the technique?"

For the third time, Xie Yunfei changed the angle and speed of the lotus root slices into the pot, but the degree of completion was not improved.

Different from Erina's God's Tongue, although the scoring system can tell Xie Yunfei the result, he needs to discover and deduce the mistakes in the cooking process by himself.

Regarding this, Xie Yunfei had nothing to say.

"Try another ingredient." Keeping the completion values ​​in mind, he fetched the second type of tempura that Xiaoyun made last night—potato chips.

Use thicker batter, thinner batter in turn, and change the angle and speed when entering the pan for the third time.

The completion degree of the three times before and after becomes: [-], [-], [-].

"I don't need to think about the technique for the time being. Are different ingredients even the consistency of the batter completely different?" Xie Yunfei was a little puzzled. When he watched Xiaoyun make tempura last night, it wasn't that complicated. Use one batter from start to finish.Shaking his head, "Look at the situation of other ingredients."

Sausage, cuttlefish, kale, white mushrooms...

I made tempura with all the ingredients that Xiaoyun used last night, but the result gave Xie Yunfei a headache.

It stands to reason that with the data given by Xiaoyun, coupled with the control of [Precise] skills, even if Xie Yunfei can't completely replicate Ms. Sakura's tempura dishes, he can still guarantee a completion degree of over 60.But to his surprise, the highest degree of completion of the tempura piled up on the plate was close to 70, while the lowest was less than 50.

Is it because the data given by Xiaoyun last night was wrong?But according to Xie Yunfei's own observations, she did cook according to those values, not mentioning the oil temperature, only the time the ingredients were fried in the oil pan, the error of several times before and after would not exceed 1 second.

So……

Xie Yunfei frowned.Although he didn't want to admit it, the tempura he cooked was not as good as Xiaoyun's tempura when he used almost the same technique. The reason for this could only be that his basic skills were too poor.

"Did it come back again?" Xie Yunfei was a little helpless, he glanced at the tempura on the table, and didn't intend to waste it, "Although I ate so greasy in the morning, it's better than throwing it away."

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Xie Yunfei was slightly relieved when he saw that the time agreed with his second uncle was still about [-] minutes away. He would always subconsciously forget the time when cooking, but fortunately there was no accident this time .He moved the chair, picked up the chopsticks and the plate with the tempura, and was about to sweep all the tempura in front of him into his stomach, but Luo Tianyou's voice suddenly sounded at the door, "Give me the things you made Keep some."

The sudden appearance of Luo Tianyou startled Yunfei. After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stood up and shouted to Luo Tianyou, "Second Uncle, good morning."

"En." Luo Tianyou nodded, with a rare trace of gentleness on his face, he glanced at the kitchen table that hadn't been cleaned up in time, and then looked at Xie Yunfei, or the tempura that Xie Yunfei was about to solve, " Bring this dish here."

"Second Uncle, I didn't do well this time." Xie Yunfei didn't have the habit of showing unqualified products to others to taste. After hearing Luo Tianyou's words, he shook his head immediately.

But Luo Tianyou didn't seem to think so. As soon as Xie Yunfei's voice fell, he went straight to his nephew, "It's because you didn't cook well that I can better understand your strength as a chef."

Chapter 065

Seeing Luo Tianyou's serious face, Xie Yunfei no longer insisted, "...Okay, but the taste is really not good."

According to the evaluation given by the system, a degree of completion of 60 is a dish that can be accepted and loved by the general public, that is, a dish with no obvious mistakes or omissions. For cooking with a degree of completion above 60, the chef strives for perfection and corrects some minor mistakes, or like Xie Yunfei, he improves the recipe to cover up the mistakes.As for cooking below 60 degrees of completion, although it tastes delicious to many ordinary people, as long as this ordinary person's level is raised a little bit and becomes a so-called diner or other chef, he will feel the problem of cooking.

Luo Tianyou is a chef, and he is also a five-star special chef certified by the Food Research Institute.After taking the plate from Xie Yunfei, he first tasted a piece of potato tempura. After chewing slowly, he nodded slightly, then picked up a piece of sausage tempura and put it in his mouth.The next second, he frowned.However, it seems that the tasting session is not over yet. After the sausage tempura, there are cuttlefish tempura, lotus root slice tempura, kale tempura...

A plate of tempura piled up into a hill was eaten by Luo Tianyou in just two or three minutes.Putting the chopsticks and plates on the kitchen table aside, he turned his head again and looked at Xie Yunfei, "I almost know your level."

Xie Yunfei didn't speak.With a system plug-in, it is naturally impossible for him to be ignorant of his own strength.However, Luo Tianyou didn't seem to intend to explain. After pondering for a while, he suddenly changed the topic.

"Why did you think of making tempura? If it's pastry cooking, with the spinning technique you showed yesterday, it's not to say how delicious the final product is, but there will be no serious mistakes .”

Xie Yunfei was taken aback when he heard that, he couldn't say that he just wanted to try the frying method he learned from Xiaoyun last night, right?Eh?Where did Xiaoyun learn this method?Forehead……

It's not good to say something like stealing a teacher.

It was also fortunate that Luo Tianyou just asked such a casual question, seeing that Yunfei was unwilling to answer, so he didn't pursue it.After a moment of silence, he turned around suddenly, walked to the edge of the kitchen table where the oil pan was placed, and put his hand about [-] centimeters above the oil pan to feel the oil temperature in the same way as Xiaoyun tested the oil temperature last night. After a while, he said in a voice that Xie Yunfei could hear, "Bring over the ingredients you processed earlier."

"Yes." Seeing that Luo Tianyou made the move himself, Xie Yunfei would not agree.After nodding, he trotted and brought the leftover ingredients to Luo Tianyou's side with both hands.

"I'm good at pasta. If it's fried, it can only be regarded as mediocre." Luo Tianyou turned on the stove and said softly while controlling the oil temperature, "However, some cooking skills are always the same. The control of the heat, the skill of the knife Handling, as well as the identification of ingredients, if it is pasta, the kneading and pasta techniques must also be counted.”

"The frying technique is the same. It is a subtle control of the heat, but at the same time, we must not forget the knife skills of the ingredients before putting them into the wok, as well as the subtle differences between different ingredients, or even between different individuals of the same ingredient."

"It's like the tempura you made earlier. Although you deliberately chose different frying times to cook the ingredients, you overlooked a very important thing." While speaking, Luo Tianyou wrapped a sausage in batter, After testing the oil temperature one last time, put it in the pan gently but quickly.

"Even with the best delivery service, even the best storage cabinet, as long as the ingredients are out of their original growth environment, they will start to rot. In other words, it is the loss of freshness." When speaking , Luo Tianyou kept turning the sausages in the pot with his right hand holding the chopsticks, and his eyes never left the frying pan from the beginning to the end.But even so, Luo Tianyou still gave people a feeling of indifference, "Our chefs, in order to be able to fully draw out the remaining freshness of the ingredients, and if possible, use some techniques to restore the lost freshness Get it back too... alright."

Luo Tianyou picked up the tempura in the pot and put it on the plate prepared by Xie Yunfei. He was not in a hurry to make a second serving, but looked at his nephew standing beside him, "Taste and see."

In fact, there is no need to taste it at all, just the golden light flowing on the surface of the tempura is enough to explain the deliciousness of the dish in front of you.

Nodding his head, Xie Yunfei picked up the chopsticks, put the sausage tempura into his mouth, and took a bite...

Delicious, that's for sure.
