Reborn – Super Chef

Ye Chui's mutton stew, after opening the lid, you can find that the soup in the casserole is milky white, and the turbid color is very textured, just like milk!

"You made mutton with milk!?" Zhang Jiahui couldn't help asking Ye Chuidao when he saw this milky white soup. After his mutton was cooked, the soup took on a dark color, and the texture of the soup was also absolutely amazing. It is not as thick as Ye Chui, and in terms of the senses, it is definitely not as pleasing to the eye as Ye Chui's mutton stew. Could it be that Ye Chui is mutton stewed in milk?

"No." Ye Chui shook his head and denied Zhang Jiahui's guess, "I boiled the mutton in clear water."

"Then where did the milky white color come from?"

Almost everyone looked at Ye Chui curiously, and Zhang Jiahui continued to ask: "Did you use any special seasoning? What is it?"

"The condiments I use are also used in your mutton stew, onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, etc., that's all." Ye Chui said with a smile.

"Then what is this milky white color?" Zhang Jiahui continued to ask.

"It's protein." Ye Chui said with a smile.

"protein?"

"That's right, the protein contained in the meat, after the meat is cooked for a long time, the protein will be decomposed, forming this milky white texture." Ye Chui explained.

After Huang Yiyuan saw Ye Chui's mutton stew, he was a little surprised. He couldn't help questioning: "Master Ye, you have to admit that you used other seasonings. Master Zhang's mutton stew was also boiled for a long time. For a long time, the protein will be decomposed when the meat is boiled, and all the chefs present know this, but why Master Zhang's mutton stew does not show this color."

"There are five reasons why the Lin's mutton stew did not show this color." Ye Chui said with a smile, "The defects of the Lin's mutton stew are also due to these five reasons."

Five reasons?

Many people were surprised.

A dish that has been famous for a long time and was developed by an eight-star chef as one of the eight representative dishes in Chinatown has five defects?

This has to be surprising.

Huang Yiyuan was stunned, but he continued to ask: "Then I would like to ask Master Ye, what are the five flaws in Master Zhang's dish that did not allow this dish to form such a milky white texture!"

"OK."

Ye Chui smiled, the five defects of the Lin family's mutton stew are actually the key secrets of this dish of mutton stew. These five defects are actually very simple, but they are the result of countless years of development of Chinese culinary culture. summed up.

Everyone in the hall listened with bated breath.

"First of all, the cooking time for this dish is too short. Huaxia has a saying that is very careful, three stews and four stews, which means that the soup should be stewed for three hours, and the stew should be stewed for four hours. The time is not enough, the texture of the mutton is not cooked enough, and the decomposed protein is naturally not enough."

"Then there is the second point. During the cooking process, do not add cold water—this is the most important thing. If I am not mistaken, when Master Zhang is making this dish, he must have told people to keep guarding the casserole. Keep adding cold water to it? The meat that is being heated will shrink when it is cold, and the protein will not dissolve easily. Adding cold water will reduce the protein content.”

"But..." Hearing what Ye Chui said, Zhang Jiahui immediately retorted, "If you don't add cold water during the soup, the soup will burn dry and burnt soon."

"This is the third point I want to make." Ye Chui looked at Zhang Jiahui and continued, "The fire for cooking soup should not be fierce, but slow fire. If the soup is boiled, the protein in the meat will be intense. Exercise makes the soup cloudy, which seriously affects the texture of the finished dish."

Zhang Jiahui was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said in a low voice, "So that's how it is..."

"Then let me talk about the fourth point. This dish needs seasoning, but the seasoning should not be too much. Only a little bit of onion, ginger, ginger and other seasonings are enough. In addition, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings also need only a little Just a little bit, otherwise it will darken the color of the whole dish and make the soup taste a bit sour." Ye Chui continued.

Few or even no condiments are used, and meat is boiled in white water. This is the practice at the beginning of Chinese food culture. At that time, chefs had no extra condiments to use, so they could only make up for it with superb cooking skills. Lack of taste.

It was at that time that the culinary realm of discord was born.

It takes a long time to cook soup, but it doesn’t need too much seasoning, just to keep the original taste of the food, which is vaguely full of the reason why the soup is not harmonious. In fact, the casserole for cooking is just like ancient kitchen utensils” Ding" is very similar.

Ye Chui had already said four points, and then he talked about the fifth point.

"The fifth and most important point... When cooking soup, put salt at the end." Ye Chui continued, "Salt can solidify the protein in the meat. If you add salt too early, it will destroy the dissolution of the protein. , so that the color of the soup is dark and the concentration is not enough."

"Here are the five flaws of this dish of mutton stew!"

Ye Chui's five main points are finished.

Many people in the hall had expressions of surprise. They didn't expect there to be so many truths in a dish. The most surprising thing was that Ye Chui could explain these truths so clearly...

In fact, for Ye Chui, these are not difficult. There are five taboos in cooking soup, and the five points that Ye Chui should avoid are the five points mentioned by Ye Chui. Unfortunately, Zhang Jiahui almost puts all these five points into consideration. All violated - that's why Ye Chui thought earlier that the taste of this Lin's mutton stew is not as good as that of a random housewife in the previous life...

In the previous life, any housewife who knew how to cook would deliberately avoid these five defects when making soup. Of course, this is also because those housewives should not be taught to do this when they learn how to cook soup. They have ready-made experience Science, and in this world, although stewed dishes flow out, the most delicious food of this cooking method is meat.

It has been nearly two years since the ban on meat was lifted, and the previous experience has long been cut off. This mutton stew can be said to have been created by Zhang Jiahui with zero foundation. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that he would commit these taboos.

But after Ye Chui finished explaining these points, other people present all showed expressions of admiration. Huang Yiyuan and Mrs. Gao had nothing to say, Zhang Jiahui remained silent, but Lin Li showed a look of admiration. A hearty smile—he bought two recipes for a million dollars. If the eggplant stew makes him feel a bit disadvantaged, then this mutton stew is definitely worth the money.

He seems to have seen that after getting Ye Chui's new recipe, Lin Jiabao's reputation will be improved to a higher level!

In comparison, the glaring gazes of Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan are nothing at all...

Robert smiled heartily at this time, as if he was very interested in the development of the matter, and he continued: "Although it is somewhat unnecessary, since five gourmets are here, why don't we continue to invite five Gourmets, let’s rate Ye Chui’s mutton stew.”

He spoke English, and the five gourmets nodded.

It was Michelle who spoke first: "Since the lid of this dish was lifted, I have been intoxicated by the aroma of this dish, the strong aroma of mutton, to be honest, Master Zhang's dishes have given me a new understanding of mutton." A whole new awareness, so I give this dish a five for the taste, and I'm looking forward to tasting it."

"Well, I guess I don't have to say much, five points," Hannah went on.

"Five points." Chris shouted following the weather, he looked at Tony and Sid, "You two don't have any objections."

"That's right, five points." Tony nodded.

Sid also agreed: "Me too."

"Well, I can't wait to taste this dish." Chris is obviously impatient, and he has already shown a look of can't wait-even though he is impatient, he thinks it is impossible to have such a good taste for other dishes. Great enthusiasm, this can only show that Ye Chui's dishes are too much for him to look forward to.

He quickly picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks and put it on the small plate in front of him. He carefully waited for the piece of meat to cool before putting it into his mouth. He let out a satisfied breath, and then impatiently took the soup spoon. , took a bite of the thick soup in a bowl of soup spoon, blew a few mouthfuls and put it in his mouth, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Delicious, so delicious, if I don't give full marks to this dish, I will definitely not be a qualified one." foodie!"

Michelle, Hannah, Tony, and Sid also tasted this mutton stew, and there is obviously no need to say anything about the ratings—this is probably because the International Gastronomy Association has established a sound gourmet system and chefs. For the first time since the rules of the art competition, before the gourmet tasted the food, the others were completely sure of the result of the competition.

"The taste did not disappoint me, five points."

"I regret not getting a higher score than five."

"If I had eaten this dish first, I might have given him a lower score when I tasted Master Zhang's dish just now."

"Five points, I have nothing to say."

Another perfect score.

Obtaining such results and evaluations from the senior gourmet tastings of the five food associations is no longer an achievement that ordinary chefs can achieve—even Gordon Ramsay may not be able to achieve such results!

But Ye Chui did it.

"Then it seems that today's culinary competition will officially end here." Robert announced with a smile, "I am announcing in my capacity as the chairman of the gourmet food association that in this culinary competition, Mr. Ye Chui has won a complete victory." victory!"

Complete victory.

This is only announced when the contestant gets the full score and wins.

It's like the PERFECT obtained by taking down the opponent with full blood in a fighting game!

There was some noise in the hall, and at this moment, a person walked into the Linjiabao restaurant——it was the eight-star chef who hadn't shown up since the Spring Banquet, Jim! (~^~)
