Chapter 742: Salmon Dice Beef
For the first few dishes, the roasted pineapple is okay as an appetizer, followed by the soft and mellow flavor of the roasted pumpkin soup. The New Orleans Roast Chicken can only be said to be decent, and it is completely white wine that adds a lot of color to it.
The roasted oysters after that were really good, both in terms of taste and pairing. Ma Teng is looking forward to what kind of surprise the next dish will bring him.
According to the steps of the banquet, this dish should be a side dish, and because it is a small banquet, it should be the main dish after this one. Of course, it is also possible that this one is the main course.
"Next dish, grilled salmon." Wang Yong smiled, and then announced.
The man in the back kitchen immediately came over and brought out the grilled salmon and took away the previous cutlery. The old small porcelain cup with high legs was taken away and replaced with a new blue and white porcelain cup.
"Very stylish pattern...... Is this the new glaze? Ma Teng raised his wine glass and looked at it, the cyan pattern was very beautiful.
"This is called blue and white porcelain, and blue and white porcelain cups are more compatible with liquor." Wang Yong said with a smile, "This time I prepared a relatively high level of wine, but it was only relative to before, starting from this dish, the whole banquet will be sublimated!" ”
"Then I'm going to look forward to it...... What's on top of this salmon? Ma Teng looked at the salmon on the plate, it seemed to be the meat of the salmon side, and then it was coated with some green stuff, and the vegetables around it were fine.
"It's basil pesto, a sauce made by mixing fresh basil and nuts." Wang Yong replied.
Nuts can be chestnuts, cashews, almonds and walnuts, etc., and are prepared according to personal preference. Needless to say, fresh basil, and then there is sea salt and black pepper. Of course, cheese is added to increase the viscosity and mellow feeling.
The salmon is coated with olive oil and the salmon itself is marinated in lemon, sea salt and black pepper before being roasted with vegetables and pesto sauce.
Without the oiliness of fried salmon, the texture of the key fish is more juicy, and the umami is greatly enhanced by the double sublimation of basil and nuts, especially the mellow feeling, which is a height that salmon sashimi cannot reach.
"Why is it fish again?" Ma Chao was a little unhappy, she didn't like to eat fish very much.
"It's different." Wang Yong reminded, "It was oysters before, but now it's fish!" Of course, both are seafood! ”
"So, what I prepared this time is also liquor?" Cao Cao was more curious, it was already liquor just now.
"Yes, sake to be exact, it evolved from cloudy sake and is brewed from junmai." Wang Yong replied, but it's a pity that the technology is not up to par, and there is no way to cut two and three points like an otter sacrifice, and three to cut nine points. However, this is also the best sake that can be made in the current process.
"Junmai sake?" Cao Cao tried to take a sip, and the rice was fragrant, accompanied by a faint sweetness, and the spicy was just right. In terms of taste, it is softer than Du Kang, but it is not on the same level as Du Kang.
"You should have just done this." Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong.
"Probably......" Wang Yong smiled, did not refute, and did not approve.
"Eat the vegetables first, eat the vegetables." Ma Teng smiled, then picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, of course, along with the pesto sauce on it. The heavy umami and aroma are simply intoxicating for the first time, and the feeling of heaviness and mellowness is completely the enjoyment of the taste. Subconsciously picked up the wine at hand and took a sip, the rice fragrance actually further sublimated this umami, I really couldn't stand it!
"Ha ~~~~~" Ma Teng breathed a long sigh of relief, "The key to the pleasant taste is that because of the contrast of this dish, the sweetness and mellowness of this sake seem to have been well improved." Yes, this is the feeling of wine and food in one, and it is indispensable! ”
"That's why you're serving sake here? In fact, Du Kang wine ...... "Cao Cao still has some resentment, no way, she does like Du Kang wine more."
"It's not just rice...... Different brewing methods have different effects on ingredients. Wang Yong replied that singleness can actually be 'emphasized'. Complex dishes in turn 'emphasize' the flavor of sake.
The two are complementary, just like the two poles of yin and yang, and it is precisely because of each other that they can be reconciled.
"Yes, yes, everything you say makes sense." Cao Cao couldn't continue to dwell on this issue.
In fact, the worst thing is the two little children, to say that Ma Chao is still under Ma Teng's supervision, he drank a little, but Cao Zhang's age is too young, so the juice prepared for him is used to accompany the meal...... This was originally arranged for Cao Pi.
Wang Yong didn't expect that Cao Cao unknowingly succeeded a little kid under his name. When she gets married in the future, she has to give birth to ten or eight for herself...... Speaking of which, how is Bian Linglong doing now? It seems to be in the Yanzhou Army, and I don't know if I am married, if I am married, is it considered green Cao Cao? There seems to be some philosophical ...... this question
"Main course, dice beef!" Wang Yong saw that several people had already eaten about the same, so he began to announce.
Generally speaking, dice beef is fried directly, but Wang Yong's dice beef is sprinkled with minced black pepper and then roasted in the oven. The original flavor of the beef is preserved to the greatest extent, and the seasoning is only black pepper and salt. However, this salt is rock salt, and the sodium content is relatively high, and it is a little sluggish, which is very suitable for meat dishes.
"It's nothing more than cutting the beef into cubes, and I'm embarrassed to say it's dice beef......" Ma Chao complained.
"But it's good to eat like this." Ma Teng smiled, "Speaking of this wine...... Seems to be strong? ”
"Yes, this is the liquor brewed in my hot springs, and the alcohol content is on the high side, ranging from 34 to 56 degrees. Since there are dishes to follow, I will prepare a 34-degree wine, and if Spurs likes it, I will prepare a bottle of 53 degrees for you later. Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Then I want to taste it first, but do you want to prepare me another drink?" Ma Teng raised his glass.
"Absolutely!" Wang Yong nodded and smiled, and the latter also drank the wine in the wine glass for the first time.
The entrance was a line of fire, and a strong irritation spread from his mouth to his nose, and then he felt that the flames began to spread into his stomach.
"Good wine! The yellow wine and turbid wine that I drank before were simply gloomy in front of this wine. Ma Teng put down his wine glass, and after a long sigh of relief, he praised sincerely.
"If you like it, if you like it." Wang Yong signaled, and the staff immediately poured another cup for Ma Teng.
"I have to say, tonight was really beyond my expectations." Ma Teng ate a piece of dice beef, and then took another sip of wine, obviously the cooking method is very simple beef, but it is so mellow and juicy, under the sublimation of high wine, it is intoxicating.
"This beef is aged beef, right?" Cao Cao ate it.
"Yes, it comes from the best yellow beef, which has been aged at a low temperature for a month." Wang Yong replied.
".................." Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong like this, whether it was yellow beef, other fish or meat, or wine, the price was not cheap. She said she wanted a feast, but it wasn't wasteful. But just look at Ma Teng's happy appearance......
