Chapter 711(1/2)
Several people stared at Fu Yu's operations.
But apart from the beginning, I could still see Fu Yu's specific movements clearly. Later, I just felt like phantoms were appearing in front of my eyes.
Fu Yu's hand speed was so fast that it didn't look like he was picking up loaches, but fries. Moreover, it was the kind of machine with customized timing. His movements were coherent and his speed was astonishing.
Although Liu Shaoxian calls himself an expert in medicinal diet, in terms of cooking, he is somewhat inferior to chefs who specialize in cooking.
At this time, Liu Shaoxian couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw Fu Yu's operation.
How much energy does it take to practice this hand speed?
People who are diligent and willing to endure hardship are always loved by others.
Liu Shaoxian's impression of Du Yu was obviously quite good.
However, before he could finish his sigh, the next scene completely stunned him.
Fu Yu kept picking up loach fish, picking up exactly twenty of them back and forth.
Then, he held the chopsticks and made fine adjustments between his fingers, stretched the chopsticks out, and straightened the loach fish one by one. Using his eyes as a ruler, he roughly measured the length of the loach fish.
Fu Yu began to pick and choose, putting the unsatisfied loach fish back into the basin. In the end, all the loach fish left were the same length and beautiful body.
The so-called beauty refers to fatness, thinness, and body markings.
Fu Yu is very attentive and considerate in every detail of selecting ingredients.
At this moment, as a seasoned herbal diet expert, Liu Shaoxian suddenly understood why just a table of herbal diet mats could be sold for such a high price.
Because of attitude!
Because of the details!
Because of the understanding and attention to the medicinal diet itself!
Fu Yu seems to treat herbal cooking as a subtle experiment, constantly adjusting and trying to correct the flaws in the operation, treating herbal dishes as a work of art that needs to be carefully crafted, not just a piece of art.
Table medicinal dishes!
What Fu Yu wants to complete is not just a simple dish!
It is the perfect work of art in his heart.
However, Liu Shaoxian was not a full-time chef after all, so he couldn't see clearly in some places.
On the contrary, Liu Yunong suddenly discovered that Fu Yu actually has a very unique talent in the use of ingredients, control of operation intensity, and aesthetics.
He pays close attention to details and strives for perfection in the dishes, and all his actions and operations are very appropriate.
Even in the selection of medicinal food combinations, great attention is paid to the cooking taste and creativity of the ingredients.
Whenever you take out any dish, it will give people an unexpected feeling of surprise.
No wonder the medicinal diet made by this guy is so popular.
Make customers willing to pay for it.
Because most people simply cannot do this.
What others cannot do will naturally be more precious.
In fact, Yao Shi had carefully watched Fu Yu cook herbal meals before, but at that time he just felt that Fu Yu was really knowledgeable about herbal meals, and he also had his own ideas about customizing herbal meals.
However, after observing Fu Yu's cooking at close range today, Yao Shi suddenly felt that Fu Yu's cooking of medicinal foods seemed to have opened up another direction and sales route.
That is the sense of harmony between medicinal effect and taste!
A brand new cooking idea that is completely different from the ordinary herbal cuisine style.
perhaps
Fu Yu selected the loach, put the storage box directly into the refrigerator, and froze the loach.
Liu Shaoxian and Xiao Jiping were stunned by what he did.
Is this how this dish is originally made?
Instead of putting the loach alive in the pot and cooking it with the tofu, it should be frozen first?
Liu Yunong is still quite unfamiliar with this dish. On the one hand, although there are dishes about loach in Liu's cuisine, because this ingredient is too niche, customers who like it like it very much, and customers who don't like it hate it very much, so they have long been
Omitted from the recipe.
She had never known the dish of loach and tofu before.
Today is the first time I’ve seen it, so I don’t know much about the specific cooking methods.
Fu Yu's method of cooking this dish was also figured out by himself after repeated failures.
He discovered that he could place live loaches directly in the refrigerator and then freeze them. Although the loaches were dead at this time, they still maintained their active form. Finally, he could just insert the loaches into the tofu.
And this dish has a special feature, that is, the cooking method is actually very simple, but the way it is cooked does leave a lot of room for imagination.
He himself failed countless times when cooking, so after he succeeded, he couldn't help but feel very emotional.
I think this dish can be called a famous dish, it is really unique.
In fact, many very good delicacies are very simple in terms of ingredients and cooking methods, but many chefs use special methods to make them more consistent with the names of the dishes, so many people remember them deeply.
While the loach was frozen and the two medicinal dishes were still being stewed, Fu Yu started making spleen-enhancing cakes.
The jujube paste is a ready-made ingredient brought from Bai An.
Fu Yu weighed the atractylodes powder, dried ginger powder and chicken gizzard powder.
The chicken nuggets in the drug store are very well processed. They are made from fresh chicken nuggets, washed, dried and ground into powder. The texture is very pure.
Put the jujube puree into a large bowl for kneading noodles, pour the weighed atractylodes powder, dried ginger powder, and chicken gizzard powder into the jujube puree and mix evenly.
Add flour and start kneading.
In fact, Fu Yu was a bit opportunistic in cooking this time.
Because the customer had already arrived at the store and was waiting to try the food, the time was a little tight and he didn't have time to cook it carefully.
The authentic Yipi Cake should be made by wrapping Atractylodes macrocephala and dried ginger with gauze, and boiling them with red dates for 1 hour. Remove the medicine bag, peel and core the dates, continue to cook over low heat, and press the date meat into date puree.
After cooling, mix it with chicken gizzard powder and flour, add an appropriate amount of water, and bake it into a cake using the usual method.
But now, in order to save time, Fu Yu chooses to directly use ready-made Atractylodes powder, dried ginger powder, and Gallus gallus gallus powder.
Although there is no difference in efficacy, the taste may be somewhat inferior.
Because he clearly knows this, Fu Yu pays great attention to the final shape when cooking.
He divided the mixed dough into small pieces of equal size.
Use a mold to press the pattern into a pattern. The chosen pattern is very delicate and beautiful, and the finished product looks unique and lifelike.
Fu Yu's control over the heat and time is really amazing.
Even if Yao Shi has seen Fu Yu's cooking more than once, he will still secretly admire it when he sees it again.
When Liu Shaoxian saw Fu Yu complete the entire operation process, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This Yipi Cake is really beautiful."
"It turns out it's called Yipi Cake!" Xiao Jiping is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Although he has researched on medicinal diet, he doesn't know much about cooking.
"The name fits the effect of the medicine very well." Xiao Jiping praised it somewhat amateurishly.
Jujube strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, Atractylodes invigorates the spleen and relieves diarrhea, dried ginger warms the body and strengthens the stomach, and chicken gizzard eliminates food and stimulates the appetite.
Putting these things together is a recipe for strengthening the spleen.
Liu Shaoxian nodded and whispered: "Zhang Xichun's book "Medical Zhongshenxilu" records a good recipe for nourishing the spleen and warming the body, strengthening the stomach and digesting food. This recipe is Yipi Cake. It is mainly used for dampness and coldness in the spleen and stomach.
, reduced diet, chronic diarrhea, and unresolved grains."
"However, the Yipi cakes on the market are not so exquisite."
At least the ones Liu Shaoxian had seen were shortcakes or ordinary baked small round cakes.
And what Fu Yu made is very beautiful!
It's really exquisite, or perhaps should be said to be stunning.
And when Fu Yu took out the frozen loach fish and started cooking it, Liu Shaoxian couldn't help but praise: "Absolutely amazing!"
Fu Yu directly inserted the frozen loach into the tofu and then started cooking.
Even if you haven't started cooking yet, just this shape can already predict the presentation effect of the dish after it is completed.
Fu Yu poured the cold pork ribs soup into the casserole, then put the shaped soft tofu in, covered it and simmered for a while, then added salt, pepper, ginger, and MSG, and continued steaming.
The tofu cooked in this dish is white, delicious and spicy, and the soup is greasy and fragrant.
Even though I knew that the loach was actually tofu that was frozen and inserted manually, when I saw the finished product, I still felt that it was very creative because there was no trace of manual operation at all.
The body of the loach fish is submerged in the tofu, leaving only a section of its tail outside. At first glance, it looks really novel.
Liu Shaoxian looked at the finished product, sighed, and shook his head with some emotion.
This kind of thing is really a talent!
It can't be learned.
