Chapter 755 How did he do it(1/2)
?
Speaking of Guobao Pork, it can really be regarded as the "group favorite" of Qianlima customers.
It can be said to be a must-order dish when entering the store.
It is said that it is difficult to reconcile everyone's taste, but this Guobao Pork is the "little sweetheart" that everyone loves at the Chollima dining table. No ordering of Guobao Pork is complete without it.
The production process of authentic Guobao Pork is relatively complicated, including oiling, thickening, and seasoning. Every step is very particular.
Xiao Lin usually eats Guobao Pork, and she has also tried this dish in the store.
So as soon as I saw the plate in front of me, I knew that this pot of pork was cooked authentically.
But just because it looks so authentic, it’s hard to avoid guessing whether the ingredients for the fried pork tenderloin slices have actually been replaced?
If it is really replaced, how come there is no difference at all?
Even Sun Mingze was filled with surprise when he looked at the finished plate of pot-wrapped pork.
It turns out that water gluten can really replace pork tenderloin in cooking!
Although he didn't have a chance to try it, Zhang Jinyu's reaction just now said it all.
Behind him, the male student who had just spoken to Sun Mingze also looked in disbelief.
Has it really been made?
No tofu, no fish, no shrimp, just flour as a substitute ingredient?
Fu Yu smiled slightly at Xiao Lin. Zhang Jinyu and her reaction had proved that this dish was a success.
At this time, Zhao Meng also had something to cook.
After quickly finishing the plate arrangement, Zhao Meng casually placed the plate on the serving table.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, he subconsciously glanced at the plate of pot-roasted pork next to him, and asked casually: "What's wrong with this dish?"
Sun Qingning had always been a gossip. It turned out that he saw several people gathered in front of the serving table and paid attention to them curiously. When he saw Zhao Meng asking, he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen to the excitement.
Hearing Zhao Meng's question, Fu Yu quickly turned around and explained: "A customer ordered Guobao Pork. Because of his bad teeth, I hope the kitchen can help replace the ingredients and make a new one."
When Zhao Meng heard this, he frowned and said, "Then why didn't you directly suggest him to change dishes?"
Xiao Lin hurriedly said: "She is an old lady. She really wants to eat the Guobao Pork from our store. She has no choice but to ask me to come over and discuss with the chef to see if I can help."
Hearing that the customer was an old man, Zhao Meng's expression softened significantly.
This kind of thing actually happens occasionally.
Whether you are willing to help or not depends entirely on the chef's mood.
However, it seems that Fu Yu has never refused once and always strives to fulfill customers' requests.
This guy is too kind-hearted, too soft-hearted, and has a very heavy sense of responsibility.
In fact, this is not good for work.
After all, some customers have very strange requests. Even if the chef's duty is to make dishes that satisfy customers, some requests that are too unreasonable must be refused.
Their main purpose of working in the store is to make money, and there is no need to increase the workload on themselves.
However, although Zhao Meng did not agree with Fu Yu's good talk, he had to admit that this was actually Fu Yu's advantage.
It was precisely because of Fu Yu's kindness and sincerity that he fell in love with him at first and felt that this boy was worth friends.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Zhao Meng took a closer look at the Guobao Pork. Judging from the appearance, this dish was quite authentic. At least it was not obvious that the ingredients had been replaced.
"Isn't it made of pork tenderloin?" Zhao Meng turned to ask Fu Yu.
Chollima never uses meat tenderizer powder when making pot-roasted pork, so this dish has that unique crispy and chewy texture.
Zhao Meng has always had his own set of standards for cooking.
He himself refused to use meat tenderizer, and asked his subordinates not to use it either.
Fu Yu has always been very obedient in this regard. Since he didn't use meat tenderizer powder, he probably used other ingredients instead.
Fu Yu nodded and said truthfully: "I made water gluten instead of pork tenderloin for pot-roasted pork. The taste is very close, but it will be relatively soft when chewed."
When Zhao Meng heard that he had used water gluten, his expression suddenly dropped.
Water gluten is something that the kitchen has never prepared. If you want to use it, you must make it fresh.
But this thing is very time-consuming to make. It takes less than two hours to make it at all.
Since the customer can ask the chef to help replace the ingredients to make the pot pork, it already shows that he is not an easy person to answer questions.
If something happens because of wasting time, it might turn out to be a good intention with bad intentions.
It's not that Zhao Meng maliciously speculates on others, but that people's hearts have always been complicated. He has been working in the kitchen for a long time and has encountered too many such things.
Zhao Meng quickly asked: "How long have you been cooking this dish?"
Fu Yu hurriedly said: "About an hour and a half, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Zhao Meng frowned and said, "Then why are you still standing there? It took you so long. Hurry up and bring the dish over. If the customer complains, explain it carefully. This dish is already more troublesome to make, and now it's because of the substitution of ingredients."
, so there is some delay in terms of time.”
Xiao Lin quickly agreed, took the dishes and left.
After everyone left, Zhao Meng asked: "Water gluten, it only took you an hour and a half to make it?"
Fu Yu nodded: "Well, it took time to wake up, otherwise it could actually be faster."
Zhao Meng immediately sighed with emotion: "I have also made water gluten, and it took more than two hours to make it!"
As soon as Zhao Meng said these words, the people around him suddenly became quiet!
Just making water gluten takes more than two hours. How did Fu Yu finish making the pot-wrapped pork in only one and a half hours?
You must know that the dish of Guobao Pork is originally a very time-consuming dish. It needs to be cut and wrapped in batter, and it must be oiled twice!
Fu Yu completed all the procedures nearly an hour faster than Zhao Meng.
How did he do it?
Fu Yu was just busy working from the beginning to the end. If Zhao Meng hadn't mentioned this, even Zhang Jinyu, who was helping the cook next to him, wouldn't have realized it.
At this moment, several people around suddenly became curious!
Fu Yu can't say that he has a few awesome skills and can control his time perfectly, and not a single second will be wasted!
After Zhao Meng said it himself, he might also feel very curious and couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it? Did you omit any step?"
Fu Yu: "Knead the noodles, wash them repeatedly, and cook the gluten. I cut the gluten into thin pieces, which can save some time when steaming."
Steaming gluten only takes half an hour. If you really want to save time, every step of the entire operation needs to be as streamlined as possible and as fast as possible.
In this way, the chef's operating techniques will be tested very much.
Fu Yu did a great job. After all, when it comes to alternative ingredients for pork tenderloin, water gluten is indeed a very good choice.
No matter the taste or appearance, it is closest to the meat itself.
Zhao Meng is really getting more and more satisfied with Yu now.
Being able to quickly weigh the substitutions and cooking methods of the entire dish and carry out the operations neatly is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Not to mention anything else, Fu Yu is the only one who can think of using water gluten to make pot-wrapped pork. This is a skill.
If you don’t know all the ingredients, you can’t do it!
Kitchen emergencies are like this. They often happen suddenly and test the chef's ability to cope.
If you cannot think of a solution in time, it is likely to cause customer dissatisfaction.
And Fu Yu's handling was very good.
This made Zhao Meng sigh with emotion. Fu Yu has made great progress these days.
Just by looking at it, I am almost able to stand alone.
No matter what, the dishes have been brought to the front hall.
Fu Yu has done everything he can. If it still doesn't work, he can only think of another way.
During meal time, the kitchen is always very busy.
Fu Yu was shaking his head. Even when Liu Yuqing came to deliver the takeout order, she just turned her head and cast a look, and couldn't even find time to chat.
He was so busy here that he quickly forgot what happened just now.
However, it didn't take long for Xiao Lin to take the opportunity of serving food and come to the kitchen to report the news.
“Fu Chu! Customers are very satisfied with the newly made Guobao Pork!”
Fu Yu only remembered this matter when he saw Xiao Lin. He was very happy when he heard this: "Really? There's no need to rush."
Xiao Lin said with a smile: "When I brought the food over, I heard the customers urging me, but when the food was on the table, I didn't say anything."
Fu Yu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
