Chapter 976 - Using Bacon as a Transition
"Sixth course – matsutake bacon rolls!" The eunuch had wanted to announce it a long time ago, but everyone was discussing a dish, so he started to announce it now.
"Eh, the name of this dish seems a bit ordinary?" Peng Qi looked at Wang Yong with some curiosity.
"Sometimes, it's easier to surprise diners than to have a fancy dish name that makes diners unfamiliar with it." Wang Yong replied, "For example, if the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, but the result is earthworm roasting sparrows, it is estimated that the diners will scold their mother." ”
"In other words, if a dish called 'White Chopped Chicken' turns out to be white Chopped Chicken, but the taste is more delicious than expected, then there will be a sense of surprise, right?" Liu Xie seemed to understand what he meant, but he still teased, "So what is the truth?" ”
"I'm too lazy to think of names...... Wang Yong replied honestly.
"Accurate!" Liu Xie nodded, "I'll consider talking to Sister Meng when I go back, it seems that durian is in season recently, ......"
"When did you learn this?" A drop of cold sweat began to form on Wang Yong's forehead.
"Which trick?" Liu Xie tilted his head, "Just thinking about the durian season, you can just eat a durian pizza, or durian mille-feuille or something......"
"............" Peng Qi was a little speechless, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Chef showed their affection openly, not very good? In addition, what is durian, and why is the chef scared when Liu Xie said it? Or are men afraid of durian?!
At this time, the kitchen has already served the sixth course one after another. Indeed, the sixth course is much more mediocre in comparison, with bacon rolled with a section of matsutake mushrooms, and there are only about three on a plate. There's a vegetable, and that's it.
"This dish is a bit ordinary...... Liu Xie complained.
"It's okay as a transition!" Wang Yong replied that when frying, it took a lot of effort.
"What kind of work does it take?" Liu Xie pointed to the bacon rolls on the plate, "I feel like I can make it......"
"I'm looking forward to that." Wang Yong said with a smile.
"But matsutake mushrooms are really good!" Peng Qi sighed, "It's more delicious than ordinary mushrooms, but then again, what is bacon?" ”
"To put it simply, it's smoked pork, or smoked ham." Wang Yong replied.
"The taste of pork is not very good...... Peng Qi was suddenly a little depressed, the first few dishes tasted good, but this one heard that pork was used, and he was immediately a little disappointed.
"How can the bacon I make myself taste bad?" Wang Yong smiled, "Please taste it first, how about it?" ”
"Good!" Peng Qi didn't talk nonsense, picked one up, and sniffed it first, it did have a smoky smell. But then again, the smell is actually very tempting, especially the grease feeling, and the nose is a little itchy.
The appetite began to be attracted, and the previous dish itself was already very delicious, but just smelling this dish actually raised the appetite again.
I really tasted a bite, the rich and plump bacon, and the feeling of just chewing it was very pleasant. When the bacon is bitten by the teeth and the teeth touch the matsutake mushroom, the juice of the matsutake mushroom and the original deliciousness of the matsutake mushroom burst out instantly. There is a faint sweetness with a slightly astringent feeling!
"This smell will make people completely addicted to it!" Peng Qi's eyes lit up, this dish was amazing, it obviously felt very ordinary, but it made people have an urge to stop. Before it gets completely boring, it feels like you can eat it infinitely!
Three is not enough, absolutely not enough, damn why there are only three in the plate! Peng Qi cherishes the chewing very much, hoping to completely stimulate the deliciousness of the bacon rolls, and then feel it well, and finally swallow it!
"What is this vegetable?" Liu Xie is almost like this, the most unpretentious, but it can make people immersed in it, this taste is really amazing. Maybe it's because of the aroma of matsutake mushrooms, or maybe the quality of the bacon is really high-quality, but what she cares more about is the small piece of vegetable inside.
"Bell pepper!" Wang Yong replied, "A variety of chili peppers with a relatively high sweetness, said to be chili peppers, is actually not spicy at all, and has the taste of chili peppers, but not spicy chili peppers, isn't it a bit awkward to say this?" ”
"So it's a bell pepper, right?" Liu Xie seemed to understand, "The umami of the chili pepper is retained, and the spicy taste is replaced by sweetness, and then the umami of the bell pepper and the umami of matsutake mushrooms are further superimposed, and at the same time, the umami of the bacon is condensed...... The impact of triple umami is incredible, indeed! ”
"Not only that, the taste of the first few dishes is on the salty side, this dish is salty to sweet, and for the bacon I chose the less salty variety, which has a short shelf life, and the type that was smoked this morning. Because of this, when you eat five savory dishes in a row, you can relax your tongue when you eat this dish again. Wang Yong further explained.
"I see, no wonder you can eat three so easily, and there is a feeling of unfinished. The feeling of frying is also good, and the moisture and umami of matsutake mushrooms are locked to the maximum extent, without excessive loss, but not too greasy...... How much olive oil to use, right? Liu Xie asked curiously.
"Unfortunately, I use okra oil." Wang Yong replied, "Ten tons of okra seeds can produce one ton of okra oil." It can be said that the yield of this oil is low, but its freshness and lusciousness are even better than olive oil. ”
"The assassin is hiding here......" Liu Xie knew that the name of this thing was ordinary, but in fact it was definitely not ordinary. It's a pity that the three bacon rolls have been completely eaten, and if you want to continue to feel this okra oil, there is no way.
After all, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it's not good to lick the plate publicly?!
"If you want to stir-fry yourself, the best thing to do is perilla oil, or sunflower oil...... In this regard, olive oil is only ranked eighth. Okra oil wasn't supposed to make the list, but I found it just right for this dish. Wang Yong explained.
I saw this list back then, and in the list of fried vegetable oils, peanut oil was only the third from the bottom. In terms of health, perilla seed oil is the third most healthy, and the first is kiwifruit seed oil. At that time, I was a little confused, isn't kiwifruit kiwifruit, what the hell is the oil squeezed from kiwi seeds?
"In recent years, many people think that frying, stir-frying and frying have begun to be gradually mastered, but you jump out and slap your face?" Liu Coordination said, I didn't expect the oil to be so elegant.
"After all, tonight is a royal banquet, so naturally we have to come up with the best things." Wang Yong spread his hands and said that he was very innocent.
Peng Qi is actually the most innocent and has a good meal, but the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the chef of the Han Imperial Chef show their affection here, which makes her ponder, should she find a spouse and give birth to ten or eight children?
On this occasion, she can't scold people, lest others say that Yue people don't understand the rules......
