Chapter 275: Criticism from Lu Su

The main dish is beef stew in red wine, and when you talk about this, you will be reminded of the burgundy beef stew in red wine in a certain spirit, which is the dish that is seasoned with honey because of the lack of cooking time to speed up the softening of the meat.

It was a classic French dish, but it was clearly not the one Zhang Fei cooked. After all, it's a well-established recipe, which means it's been refined for at least a long time. And before this year, potatoes had not yet appeared!

Large pieces of beef, I have to say that just look at it, the thickness of the meat can make people's vision get the greatest satisfaction. As a staple food, a sense of heaviness is a must, after all, it is the most important part of the whole banquet.

"Wine is rarely used for cooking, but I didn't expect General Zhang to use it for beef stew." Lu Su smelled the taste, the aroma of beef was mixed with the taste of red wine, the key is that this taste is not abrupt at all, it is amazing for him!

"I also knew about it by chance...... "Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed.

"I secretly drank wine in the army, and I was found to pour it directly into the pot, and I accidentally found that red wine with meat, especially beef, tasted very good?" Guan Yu directly debunked it, and at that time, this guy also pretended to say that he was trying new recipes.

You can't drink alcohol in the army, doesn't she even know this truth?!

It's hard to say anything, the hometown of the third sister is mainly engaged in wine and meat, and the wine pond meat forest is on her side, which can really be described like that. All kinds of meat, all kinds of wine, really too many to count. The point is that she seems to have started drinking at the age of five, and now she is a complete alcoholic, she is uncomfortable without drinking for a day, and often secretly gets drunk alone.

If you change to peacetime, even if you forget it, it is also this virtue in the army. Guan Yu and Liu Bei have both persuaded her, and every time they promise it verbally, and even swear to the sky, and then the old way sprouts again in three days at most.

"The appearance of some dishes comes from all kinds of accidents." Wang Yong said with a smile. If nothing else, let's just say that this Buddha jumped over the wall, it is said that the birth itself came from an accident, and the original taste was certainly not much better, but it was only improved later.

"This beef must have been marinated in red wine, right? Filled with onions, carrots and white mushrooms...... The soup is chicken broth...... "Lu Su just flipped it over, smelled it, and already roughly knew the main ingredients.

"You're so good, you already know so much without eating!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned.

"The meat is fried first and then stewed, and the meat quality can be so tender, which should be the effect of wine." Lu Su picked up a piece of beef, felt the elasticity of the chopsticks, and put it directly in his mouth after speaking.

The aroma of spices, the sweetness of mushrooms, onions and carrots, and the gravy of the beef burst into the mouth. Each piece of beef is like a bomb, the moment you bite it, everything splashes into your mouth, and then wraps around every inch of the tip of your tongue.

"The effect of red wine is not only to increase the flavor, but I didn't expect it to soften the meat......" Lu Su tasted slowly, after the spices to enhance the flavor, and the chicken soup to enhance the freshness, the completion of this red wine beef stew is very high.

The thick taste is even more satisfying, and a few pieces of beef are belly, plus appetizers and side dishes, and I am also half full. And the dissatisfaction brought by the appetizer and side dish is also greatly satisfied here in this dish.

If you have to say it, there is still some unfinished business, and this idea is just right, after all, there are still dishes to be served.

So in this case, the staple food was served, and the three small cakes were wine-brewed cakes. The sake is mixed in warm water, then mixed in flour, fermented, kneaded into long strips, divided into 10 portions, and filled with bean paste.

Heat the pan, grease it and bake the cakes over low heat until golden brown. In the final analysis, it is a kind of deformation of the bean paste cake, with a little more flavor of sake.

"The sake brewing has a light feel, and it is used not only as a seasoning but also as yeast in sake cakes. It tastes sweet and sweet, and it is naturally impossible to miss as a sweet party. The taste is no different from mung bean cake, and it is rare that there is not too much sugar added, which is just right for a staple food. Lu Su was eating the wine-stuffed cake and commented at the same time.

"Xun Yu and Cao Cao, they should like this taste......" Wang Yong was eating cakes, and couldn't help but wonder if he would try it again after he went back. Red wine beef stew is also good, and there is even room for improvement, such as spices and potatoes, these two materials, in terms of spices, Zhang Fei has not studied enough, and potatoes are scarce, and she probably has not yet come into contact with them.

Wine-pickled cucumbers are actually added to the flavor of white wine on the basis of patting cucumbers, which can remove the grass green flavor in it. The wine is made with Du Kang, which has a mellow aroma and highlights the sweetness of the cucumber, which is also very good as a vegetable or as a cold dish after a meal.

"Crispy, puffy, good taste!" Xiahoudun likes this sweet and sour taste very much, especially the cucumber is crispy and puffy, and it is also very comfortable to eat. The beef stew with red wine and the heavy taste of the wine cake were also cleaned up at this moment.

To put it simply, the tongue is well rested.

So in such a situation, the sweet wine was served, without wolfberries and red dates, and the pure egg sweet wine was made. Smelling the unique smell of sweet wine, Wang Yong couldn't help twitching his nose.

"It's nice to finish with this!" Wang Yong picked up the small bowl and scooped it with a spoon.

The sweet sake quickly climbs up the tip of the tongue and then wraps around the tongue, and the rich sweetness is very satisfying. As a finishing touch, it's a good choice.

"But that's all......" Lu Su put down the bowl and sighed a little regretfully.

"What, are you dissatisfied with the old lady's dishes?" Zhang Fei asked very unhappily, it was not just Lu Su at this moment, even if it was

"No, no!" Lu Su shook his head, "General Zhang uses wine to enhance the flavor and umami of dishes, and he has indeed stepped out of a high-level chef's route, a well-deserved seven-grade senior chef...... But that's it! ”

After a pause, he continued: "Well, the first dish is made of rice wine, the second dish is made of wine, and the third dish is made of red wine, which is understandable. However, the main food is still wine, and the fifth course is wine, and now I feel that my mouth is full of the taste of wine, on the contrary, the memory of rice wine, white wine and red wine is completely overwritten......"

"Wholeness!" Wang Yong couldn't help but say, "General Zhang chose banquet dishes, which means that all dishes should not exist alone, but should be built as a whole!" In the six dishes, there are too many ingredients in the wine, which causes several other dishes to be diluted, which in turn destroys the overall sense of the banquet. ”

"If you want me to say, it's all about the wine. Although this material can improve the freshness, it is too prominent to highlight the existence of wine, but it makes people drunk...... If you want to play umami, you are much worse than my husband...... Belch! Xiahoudun took a break from the wine, and then teased directly...... She looked a little drunk already.

"Him?" Zhang Fei immediately fried his hair, "I still don't believe it, he can be better than me as an intermediate chef!" ”

"Husband, give her some color?!" Xiahoudun directly instigated it.

"Come on, come on, you let me be afraid of him?!" Zhang Fei shouted directly, anyway, she couldn't look at Cao Jun well

"Anyway, I haven't said anything......" Wang Yong looked at Xiahoudun, this girl was too drunk today.
