Shi's cooking skills are really good, and she comes from a wealthy family. Sisters Zhu Anxiang and Zhu Anyi feel that they have a good eye for heroes, and they are lucky enough to buy them at such a low price from traffickers. I heard from their father that the old man who lives now
The house used to be the Shiyue Building, and the business was booming. They couldn't help but fantasize about the Shiyue Building.
Yue Lou takes care of pregnant women, and this woman is more suitable. The family is rich and powerful, my sisters have a lot of free time, and their father is also open-minded. How about the two sisters reopen Shi Yue Lou?
This thought shocked me. It is only half a month before the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I might as well try to pester my father.
The two maids were given several questions to test their cooking skills. The two sisters went to the kitchen and took a look. There were newly arrived fresh pomfrets, each weighing a pound, and they looked very good. So they took this pomfret.
As a material, test your cooking skills.
"We have cooked pomfret before, frying it and sealing it. It is very delicious." After the two maids received the question, they felt that another opportunity had come to repay the hostess for her kindness, and said very enthusiastically: "We will go to the kitchen to cook it immediately.
go."
The two happily went to the kitchen to get busy, planning to make a fried and sealed pomfret. They rolled up their sleeves, butchered the fish, removed the scales, gills, and internal organs, washed it, cut it diagonally four times on each side, and seasoned it with soy sauce and ginger.
Marinate with wine for about a quarter of an hour. Mix the frying juice, sesame oil, and pepper into gravy. Heat a wok over medium heat and add peanut oil to the pan.
Then pour it back into the oil basin. Add the pomfret and fry while adding oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Then fry for about a quarter of an hour until cooked. Remove and put it on a plate. Pour the oil back into the oil basin. Fry until it is golden brown on both sides.
Put the pot back on the fire, add garlic, green onion and ginger, sauté until fragrant, cook with Shaoxing wine, thicken the second-rate gravy with gravy, add half a ounce of peanut oil and mix well, pour it on the fish and serve.
"Transfer to Man Ting Fang· Pan-fried Pomfret"
Slaughter the pomfret, remove the scales and gills, cut both sides diagonally with four cuts. Remove all the blood, marinate with soy sauce and ginger juice. Fry and seal with secret sauce. Add pepper, sesame and sesame oil. Mix into juice. Brush the pot and put it back into the basin. Add peanut oil.
Add the pomfret and fry until golden brown on both sides. Add oil and add oil until cooked through. Add oil to the wok, add onions, garlic and ginger. Fry until fragrant. Add Shaoxing wine and thicken the gravy. Drizzle the fish with peanut oil. Does it have an old-time flavor?
The dish was served, and the aroma was a bit strange, with both the aroma of frying and the richness of simmering. The sisters tasted the dish, which was smooth and delicious, with a unique flavor. The two maids also controlled the heat well, but these requirements were not suitable for them.
Zhu's Fat Heart Restaurant and the chefs in the restaurant are the basic requirements. There is no special distinction. If Shiyue Tower is really reopened next year, it will definitely not be enough. I will have to give a few more questions and try again.
The two sisters looked around and found that there were prawns, pork and flour in the kitchen. Aren't they from the north? Northerners like to make pasta. The two sisters discussed it and said, "How about you use these ingredients to make one?"
Pasta we’ve never had before.”
I've never eaten it before, isn't this making things difficult for others? The Zhu family is a wealthy family, and their business extends to several nearby provinces. The two ladies also like to dress up as men, follow their father and brother everywhere, and taste almost all the dishes from all over the country. The two maids were stunned for a moment.
After discussion, he said: "We have accepted this question. After an hour, I will ask Miss Liangzhu to give me some advice."
In order to disturb their cooking, the two sisters left and planned to come back an hour later to check the results. The two began to knead the dough and knead out a lot of dumpling skins. The sisters looked through the window and saw that these were just dumplings. Although they were not as popular in the south,
It's common in the north, but saying I've never eaten it is too exaggerated. I wonder if they have any other tips?
The two maids chopped the prawns and pork into small pieces, added sweet corn kernels and mixed them well, then mixed the dumpling fillings with chives and spices. Wrap them in dumpling wrappers and put them on the pot while wrapping them. Arrange them in the pot.
Pour oil into it and then add some water. Because the oil can fry the bottom of the dumplings, but the bottom of the dumplings will be fried.
The upper and middle parts of the dumplings need to be steamed. Pour in the oil first and then the water. Cover the pot and fry for a while. The dumplings will be cooked, but the nice golden color on the bottom of the dumplings has not yet formed. Add flour and water.
Pour it all around along the edge of the pot. Fry for a while, then open the pot, and the beautiful and delicious pot stickers will be ready.
"Zuihuayin, Shrimp and Corn Stuffed Pot Stickers"
Chop the prawns, pork, and leeks, add sweet corn, and make dumplings with the stuffing. Pour oil into the pot, put everything together, and add water to steam.
Cover the pot, let the smoke rise, and circle the village tree three times. Pour in the flour paste and fry it until it turns golden, making Emperor Zhao hungry.
They excitedly called the two sisters over to have a look. When the sisters tasted it, they added leeks and corn to make the pot stickers not greasy. The delicious prawns and sweet corn made the taste more unique and delicious.
The two maids brought the bowls and said, "You should eat soy milk with pot stickers."
The two sisters gave it a try, and sure enough, after adding soy milk, it became even more exciting.
The sisters asked: "What kind of food is this and where did it come from?"
The maid said vividly: "Well, it's a long story. Legend has it that in the spring of the third year of the Jianlong reign of our dynasty, on the first day of the first month of the Gengshen lunar month, the Empress Dowager's funeral had just ended, so Song Taizu was not allowed to receive New Year greetings from the officials, so he didn't think about tea or food. He took a walk in the courtyard alone in the afternoon.
, suddenly a scent of aroma wafted up, and I felt relaxed and happy. I followed the aroma and walked to the imperial dining room, where I saw the imperial chef was frying the unfinished leftover dumplings in an iron pot.
When he ate, he didn't dare to come out when he saw Taizu coming in. At this time, Taizu hadn't had enough food for several days. At this time, the aroma aroused his appetite, so he asked the imperial chef to taste a few with a shovel. It didn't matter if he tasted it, he felt that it was crispy and soft.
It was so fragrant and so delicious that I ate four or five of them in a row. Later, I asked what they were called, and the imperial chef couldn't answer for a while. Taizu looked at the dumplings fried in an iron pot and casually said, let's call them pot stickers."
I asked why this snack was made, but they told me a story. However, after knowing this story, I instantly felt that this food became more noble. This was something my great ancestor had tasted.
The food that is named after it sounds impressive and tastes higher than the imperial cuisine. Delicious dishes and attractive stories are definitely one of the good publicity strategies.
The maids from wealthy families are different. They are skilled and knowledgeable. The two sisters are very happy. If Shiyue Tower is really reopened next year, they will be the most capable assistants. However, these two dishes are far from enough.
We still have to see what tricks they have up their sleeves.
Hot pot and barbecue are both popular dishes in winter and are light in other seasons. The Spring Festival is coming. According to custom, from the New Year to the 15th day of the first lunar month, everyone celebrates the New Year at home for nearly a month, and there is no business. After the New Year, the weather starts to get warmer.
The restaurant's business in the three quarters depends on other businesses. Due to the popularity of hot pot and barbecue, Fat Heart Restaurant and Wang's Restaurant have expanded their influence. They both plan to expand their stores next year. The lack of chefs has become a common problem for both restaurants.
