Chapter 44: Egg fried rice isn't simple
When I returned to the back kitchen, I saw two chicks drinking fish soup there, but what was the feeling that my waist couldn't straighten up? You must know that the quality of this fish soup is average in his opinion!
"Come back to your senses!" Wang Yong waved his hand in front of the two, so that the two who had been shocked by the umami and lost their minds came back to their senses.
"Naa!" After Xun Yu came back to his senses, the first thing he did was to start urging, "Didn't you say that there is still egg fried rice?!" ”
"Wait a minute!" Wang Yong shook his head, "Just wait outside, the kitchen floor is not so clean......
"That ......" Xun Yu nodded, but then found something embarrassing, "Xiao Yuan, can you help me out?" ”
"I guess ......," Guo Jia thought for a while, "There's no way, I'm a little unstable anymore." ”
"Dian Wei, come over and help help the two of them out......" Wang Yong suddenly felt strange, he didn't seem to go to the wrong set, Yang Ci outside drank fish soup, and his performance was so normal, why was the painting style suddenly different here?
Having said that, an old man came directly to a costume show or something, and it was spicy to think about, so forget it.
"By the way, shopkeeper, you really didn't put anything weird in the soup?" When Xun Yu was supported by Dian Wei, he asked curiously. Guo Jia also looked at Wang Yong with tears in her eyes, and if you look closely, you will find that she is now clamping her legs.
"You're watching the cooking process!" Wang Yong came directly to her and knocked her head with a hand knife.
"Don't knock...... It's going to leak out...... No, I'm going to change my clothes......" Xun Yu didn't care about eating, so he fled directly.
"The owner...... I'll go upstairs a little too......" Guo Jia clamped his legs and walked upstairs very awkwardly.
"It's so strange......" Wang Yong scratched his head, these women's reactions were so strange? Then he looked at Dian Wei and shouted, "Dian Wei, your share is here, remember to ask Liu Li to drink it later!" ”
"Hmm...... Oh......! Dian Wei replied reluctantly, obviously after seeing Xun Yu and Guo Jia's performance, he began to be wary of this bowl of soup. Anyway, if you still have staple food and soup, it shouldn't be okay if you don't drink it, right?
Wang Yong started cooking, and he didn't plan to use too many ingredients, just eggs and rice. The eggs are just laid by the hen today, and the rice was cooked yesterday, and the first choice for fried rice is overnight rice, otherwise it needs to be put in the refrigerator for two hours.
There is no refrigerator here, so Wang Yong can only cook rice in advance and then set it aside, originally he planned to make egg fried rice for dinner today. If you make pasta every day, others won't get tired of eating it, but he will get tired of it!
"Shake the rice, after all, the overnight meal itself will form a lump due to the relationship between the rice grains!" Wang Yong didn't look back, but he knew that Dian Wei could hear that there was a big pot of rice here, after all, it was scheduled to be sold, and these jobs naturally had to be left to professional people to do.
Considering Dian Wei's strength, he added, "Just shake it off, don't make it into rice balls or rice cakes!" ”
"Well, okay......" Dian Wei nodded, she knew what Wang Yong wanted to express, and she was actually a little unhappy in her heart.
Heat the oil in the wok, beat two eggs, and then stir well with chopsticks, pour the egg liquid into the rice pot instantly, and then start to stir-fry quickly, this test is the ability to turn the pot, as well as spatial stereoscopic vision. Make sure that every grain of rice is dipped in egg wash, and finally sprinkled with salt to taste evenly before removing from the pan.
"It's a pity that this is not the plane ......of the little master," Wang Yong smiled bitterly, and the egg fried rice out of the pot did not shine. However, it is also a little interesting to reflect the light in the oil.
"It's such a simple dish, not only a test of the pot and eyesight, the key is to be particular about seasoning and oiling, don't stir-fry a few times, I'm afraid you can't find a balance, so the chef's imagination is also very important." Wang Yong muttered.
After all, too much egg liquid will leave behind, and if the rice sticks into a piece, the taste will be lost. If you put it less unevenly, it can't become a real golden egg fried rice. Not to mention the amount of salt, the amount of rice is directly related to the amount of eggs and salt, and it is obviously a meal that can be made easily, but there are many particularities in it.
"Unsuccessful......" The first pot came out of the pot, Wang Yong simply tasted it, there was more egg liquid, and there was a little more salt, of course, it can also be said that there was less rice. A local food stall or night stall may be acceptable to this fact, but his goal is to become a master chef, which is not the case.
So he made another pot, which also failed, with slightly more oil, and the taste of the fat was a little too strong, and he would feel very tired when he ate it. Two failures in a row made him a little impatient, after all, there were still people waiting outside to eat.
"Concentrate, concentrate!" When he was in the third pot, his hands were shaking a little, and the eggs had already begun to use the stock, which was the ingredient he bought two days ago. There is no refrigerator, and it is stored for two days in a row, and I don't know if it has an effect on the taste.
The rice was churning inside the pot, and it didn't stop as the pot kept flipping. The egg mixture is wrapped in the rice, which is then mixed with salt. After absorbing two failures, Wang Yong finally completed the third egg fried rice.
Three-dimensional, rice, eggs, oil and salt, just the compound of four things, requires precise calculations. It's easy to be a chef, but it's never easy to be a good chef.
It is no wonder that so many chefs in later generations have moved in one direction throughout their lives, because they do not have time to focus on other paths. After bringing the third pot out of the pot, Wang Yong couldn't help but think carefully about this question - what kind of chef he wants to become and what kind of path he wants to take!
"I can only say that it is okay......" Wang Yong tasted this one, and then gave a pertinent evaluation. Eggs and rice are not excellent ingredients, otherwise they can make the taste better, and for gourmets, the simpler the thing, the more care about its taste.
Don't look at Xun Yu now, just two or three simple dishes can fool you. When the taste is cultivated, can the food become more delicious, so that it can continue to retain her stomach? In contrast, Dian Wei, who only wants to be full, is really cute.
"I waited for a long time, and I made three copies in a row, and I completed a slightly satisfactory one, and I asked the teacher for advice!" Wang Yong took out the egg fried rice and gently placed it in front of Yang Ci.
"Haha, when I saw it from afar, I thought it was a bowl of gold, but I didn't expect to get closer, only to find out that it was not the case!" Yang Ci made a joke, but it eased the atmosphere a lot. After all, the time to make three copies in a row is not very short.
But surprise is indeed surprise, at first I saw the golden luster from afar, and I really doubted that this apprentice would not bring out a bowl of gold, right? In the past, there were people who used real money to cook, ostensibly as dishes, but in fact as bribes. He didn't want the apprentices he had accepted to bribe him.
"Is this rice?" Yang Ci is well-informed in the end, and he recognized it at a glance, "It's just that it's attached to it, could it be an egg?" Well, it smells like eggs! ”
"Indeed, the name of this dish is egg fried rice, which is simple, but it is the most test of the chef's control of heat and seasoning." Wang Yong nodded and replied, in the food of later generations, he would go to the restaurant to order an egg fried rice at every turn, and then all kinds of pretending to be forced, but it often happened.
"Indeed, the simpler the thing, the more skill is needed to make it delicious!" As a special chef, Yang Ci recognized Wang Yong's statement, which should have been understood by senior chefs, but he didn't expect him to have mastered it.
So, whether this egg fried rice is delicious or not needs to be tested before you can know!
Scoop up a spoonful, and the fried rice that has just come out of the pot is still steaming. Yang Ci put the egg fried rice in front of his nose and sniffed it, with his ability, he only needed to know the main ingredients of this dish. If you don't know, you can understand it by taking a bite.
"This dish only uses eggs, peanut oil, salt and rice, but when the rice comes out of the pot, there will be more water and sticky, but the rice of this egg fried rice is not like this, how did you do it?" Yang Ci immediately asked.
"This is a little secret, but if the teacher needs to answer...... Wang Yong is a little embarrassed, and it is estimated that he will be a little unappetizing when he says this overnight dinner.
"Hahaha, everyone has a little secret, then I won't continue to dig into it!" Yang Ci laughed and then ate the meal.
The first thing you get in the mouth is the mellow aroma of eggs, followed by the aroma of rice. Oil and salt form a bridge that brings the two together, and the key is not to feel very greasy. In the end, it is an old and too greasy thing, so try not to eat it if you can, but this dish, Yang Ci thinks it is acceptable.
"The rice has a strong sense of independence, there is no sticking lumps, the egg wash and the rice are perfectly combined, and every grain of rice is so fragrant. To do this, stir-frying is very difficult to do...... Are you using the trick of flipping the pot? Yang Ci asked curiously.
"Indeed, from the moment the rice and egg wash are put into the pot, it is stir-fried repeatedly!" Wang Yong nodded, his hands danced subconsciously, and showed Yang Ci the action of stir-frying.
"I see, this tossing pot seems simple, but it has to be stir-fried like this...... But it's difficult, yes, yes, just this craft, I even want to issue you an intermediate chef qualification immediately, but unfortunately there are rules, if you don't take the intermediate test, you can't get an intermediate chef certificate. Yang Ci said with a little regret.
"It's okay!" Wang Yong patted his chest, "As long as you have the ability, you can naturally be admitted!" ”
"Hahaha, I am very satisfied that you can have such an idea!" Yang Ci nodded, and then continued to eat.
Egg fried rice tastes very good, and if your mouth is dry, a spoonful of fish soup will do. The umami of the fish soup is mixed with the umami of the eggs, and it is a compound fragrance, and the superposition of umami, even if it is Yang Ci, it is a little unbearable.
"Generally, you need a senior chef to grasp the concept of 'umami', but to study it in depth, you often need a special chef, but I didn't expect you to be just a junior chef, and you have already started researching!" Yang Ci was amazed again, he didn't know how many times he had been amazed since he came here.
"It's all casual groping...... Wang Yong scratched his head embarrassedly.
"No wonder Lao Wang can give you this shop, but I still advise you, now your basic skills are not solid, which will affect your cooking skills. The exploration of umami is still too far for you, how to make the dish well and sharpen your cooking skills more skillfully is what you need to do. Yang Ci first sighed, and then pointed out Wang Yong's problem to the point.
"Disciples are taught!" Wang Yong nodded, this was indeed what he needed to do the most.
"Well, that's all I can say now!" Yang Ci stood up slowly, "I have delayed your business time, I will send someone over tomorrow to tell you the time of the auspicious day of the zodiac, and then I will hold an apprenticeship banquet!" ”
"Disciple sends off the teacher!" Wang Yong didn't dare to slack off, and personally sent Yang Ci away.
"That's right!" As soon as he went out, Yang Ci suddenly remembered something, and didn't look back, and said directly: "Another day, let my granddaughter get to know you, she is the unicorn of my Yang family, her name is Yang Xiu, and the word Dezu!" ”
