Chapter 1423: Win-Win Plans (Part II)
Facing the surprised Song sisters, Yang Huairen smiled calmly, "There are only three of us here, I will say it, you can listen to what I say."
Boiled fish, the reason why the third sister is not as delicious as the fifth sister is not because of the seasoning, in fact, you have your own uniqueness in seasoning, and the fifth sister's foundation is better, so the craftsmanship is more solid.
But in terms of the technique of boiling fish, the third sister is far worse than the fifth sister, and everyone knows that boiling fish requires the skin of the fish to be put into the pot to cook.
The vinegar fish of West Lake with ordinary grass carp as the main ingredient, the meat of West Lake grass carp is soft and fat, which is an advantage and a disadvantage.
The fish meat that is too soft will inevitably make diners lose a tender and elastic taste when entering the mouth, so the technique of the fifth sister should be in the process of boiling the fish, using the technique of cold pouring three times.
The fish is boiled in the pot until it is half cooked, and it is poured once with the cold soup in which the fish was cooked before, and then poured once when it is ripe at seven levels, and then poured for the last time when it is ripe, and finally it is cooked in the pot, and the fish is boiled to be completed.
Because of the addition of these three cold soup pouring processes, the fish and the original soup taste are better blended together, and at the same time, in the heat expansion and cold contraction, the fresh fish becomes smooth and elastic, and the taste is natural and refreshing. ”
Song Wumei grew her mouth in surprise, and when her father taught her the secret of cooking fish, she actually didn't understand why she did it.
But she knew that doing so would make the fish taste better, so she inherited this secret fish cooking technique.
This technique can be regarded as a unique secret method of her Wenwu Building, and the restaurant next to her does not know, so the West Lake vinegar fish made is not as good as the West Lake vinegar fish cooked by the fifth sister's Wenwu Building.
She originally thought that Yang Huairen would make vinegar fish in West Lake, but she definitely didn't know how to deal with it, and she believed that her father would not tell others such a secret thing.
Now that Yang Huairen said it in front of her and her sister, it made her feel a little too incredible.
Song Sanniang was also surprised, "The boiled fish made by Lao Wu is delicious, just because it is so simple to pour cold soup three more times?" ”
Yang Huairen said solemnly, "Simple? Simple, how come you don't know how to do it? Cooking is something that looks simple, but whether a dish tastes good or bad is determined by some small details and small steps that look very simple.
Let's talk about the secret of your juice refining. Cooking vinegar sauce is different from boiling fish, and there is no special skill in the technique.
The seasoning used is very particular, but there is no secret to it, and the ingredients used by everyone are almost the same.
Even if the proportion of seasonings may be different, the ratio of seasonings is such a thing, and if a chef is willing to work hard and keep trying, he will always find the recipe for your secret vinegar sauce.
But your Song family's vinegar sauce has a seasoning that others don't know. ”
Yang Huairen said and glanced at Song Sanjie's apron, Song Sanjie subconsciously touched a small pocket on the apron, and at this moment she also understood that Yang Huairen already knew the secret of her juice refining.
Yang Huairen continued, "There's no need to hide, there are just three of us here, and Fifth Sister Song is actually not an outsider." The secret to your vinaigrette is that you add grass carp roe.
To make vinegar fish in West Lake, the annual freshly ripened grass carp is generally used, and such a large fish is fresh and tender, and it is just right to cook vegetables.
Some restaurants also specially pick large and heavy grass carp to make West Lake vinegar fish, thinking that the bigger the fish, the better, but in fact, it is a stupid performance that does not know how to do it.
Bigger is never better, even if it's the same kind of fish, different fish taste different at different ages, and fish caught in different seasons taste equally different.
Such a large grass carp does not have fish roe, but the older female fish does, although such grass carp cannot be used to make West Lake vinegar fish, but its fish roe is the secret material for your juice refining.
The taste of the grass carp itself is light, the annual grass carp is fresh and tender, but the taste of the fish is even more insufficient, and the last process of the West Lake vinegar fish is to pour vinegar sauce, it is easier to rob the taste of the fish.
So in order to make up for this, to make a West Lake vinegar fish perfect, the grass carp roe is collected and dried, then ground into powder, and a little more is added to the vinegar sauce when refining the juice.
In this way, the whole dish appears to have a unified taste, and it also becomes a whole, the combination of the flavor of the roe and the fish meat makes the fish taste more delicious, and at the same time it is integrated into the vinegar sauce, and the fishy smell of the fish roe is completely lost.
Third Sister Song, what I said about the secret of your juice refining is right? ”
Third Sister Song gave a bow in admiration, "What the big official said is right, I didn't expect that the secret of my Song family's vinegar fish in West Lake was thoroughly understood by you." ”
Song Wumei also bowed to express her admiration for Yang Huairen, and then said suspiciously, "Dare to ask the name of the big official, and how do you know the secret of our Wenwu Building's signature dish, West Lake vinegar fish?" ”
"My surname is Yang." Yang Huairen replied lightly.
The sisters of the Song family didn't remember that there was a big family surnamed Yang on the edge of the West Lake at first, but then they suddenly remembered something and immediately knelt down for Yang Huairen.
Yang Huairen hurriedly got up and helped the two of them up, "You don't have to speak, I'm either Qincha and Wang Ye today, or a cook, let's talk in the kitchen, it's the usual communication between peers." ”
It's not that Song Sanjie doesn't want to speak, but she is so scared that she doesn't dare to speak, she has never seen someone with such a high status, she has long been flustered in her heart, her tongue is a little numb, where is the heart to talk nonsense?
It's just that the two of them know Yang Huairen's identity, and they understand why he can cook West Lake vinegar fish, with Yang Huairen's reputation in the culinary industry, it is not strange what he can cook.
Song Wumei was bold, and she said with a big grin, "The name of the prince and the god of cooking is like thunder, and the slave family has admired it for a long time. ”
Yang Huairen said with a smile, "When outsiders say this, there is an element of patting my ass, you say this, I am still very happy, and it is a rare thing to be recognized by my peers."
However, the name of the god of cooking, in fact, is a bit exaggerated, there is no chef in this world who is omnipotent, just say this West Lake vinegar fish, if your father is alive, it must be better than me.
Having said that, you should also understand what your father's deathbed arrangements were.
As the signature talent of your Wenwu Building, the West Lake vinegar fish, your Song family's family heirloom, must not lose its inheritance.
Chef Song taught you two the most important steps of a dish to both of you, hoping that you will understand that only when you sisters work together can you pass on your family heirloom cuisine.
And it's not just your father's arrangement, it's also his last wish, the face-to-face competition between the two civil and military buildings will make you look like enemies now, which will make your father sad.
It's better to let the two civil and military buildings become one, and the combination is a win-win situation! ”
