Chapter 1242: Show Food (Seventeen)
In terms of production method alone, Yang Huairen's Western-style fried steak is not much new.
In fact, the best steak only needs to be salted, and no sauce is added, and the tender steak itself is enough to become a rare delicacy.
The steak used by Yang Huairen was taken from the cattle that were flickered back from the ministers of the Liao State some time ago with Yanshou Dan, although it was a semi-wild grassland cattle, but the meat quality was still not as good as the Wagyu cattle raised by scientific methods in later generations.
If the steak is not eaten with the sauce, the taste may seem a bit monotonous, but if it is only eaten with ordinary tomato sauce, the steak seems to have a little less layering and richness.
Therefore, Yang Huairen added some more egg fried rice and cheese on top, which not only increased the taste of this steak, but also showed some more production skills to achieve a show effect.
In fact, for many diners of the Great Song Dynasty, this steak is also novel enough, and beef is not uncommon to these dignitaries and retro merchants, and most of them have tried this way of eating fried steak.
But after the fried steak is paired with the traditional egg fried rice of the Han people, and the cheese that is not so commonly eaten, the taste is completely different.
A steak was served to Zeng Shen, who, as a professional cook, had the most say among the five guests.
First of all, he felt that Yang Huairen was very curious about the performance of the food production process in the way of a show, after all, the craftsmen of these years are unwilling to show the secrets of their own craftsmanship to others, even if it is inherited, it is passed on from inside to outside, from men to women, with strict rules.
Yang Huairen dared to perform his skills in front of everyone, which showed that he was very open-minded, and from another side to understand, that is, Yang Huairen's skills are too superb, and there are so many dishes that others can't imagine, he is not afraid of others stealing his skills.
This self-confidence alone is enough for him to be called the title of the new generation of "kitchen god".
And the production process just now was shown, which was indeed wonderful, especially in the last section, Yang Huairen showed dazzling hand speed and wonderful skills.
After everyone watched the whole process of making the steak, everyone present without exception felt drooling in their mouths and feeling a little hungry in their stomachs.
It is also a wonderful idea to be able to cleverly take advantage of the fact that humans will be hungry for food.
Zeng Shen carefully looked at a piece of steak in front of him, after cutting, the cutting surface was very neat, and different foods were superimposed together, revealing a layered texture.
Underneath is a layer of lettuce, on top is a steak still sizzling with oil, on top of which is a layer of creamy cheese, and on top is a layer of golden pearl-like rice, each of which is golden and almost the same size, and there is no excess egg wash, and finally a layer of bright red tomato sauce.
The visual impact on a diner is irresistible, although the steak has been placed in front of the diner, the steak is still hot, and these calories carry the delicious flavor of the steak to steam, and then seep into the upper food.
At the same time, the rich aroma of the cheese continues to melt down into the steak, and the sauce continues to penetrate downward, wrapping around the outer layer of the egg fried rice, and the flavors of several different ingredients blend together, creating a new and more delicious aroma.
Han people are used to eating with chopsticks, but it seems that it is a little inconvenient to eat this dish with chopsticks.
Yang Huairen also thought of this, in addition to the necessary chopsticks, he also arranged assistants early, and when serving the food, he added other tableware next to the plate.
On the left-hand side, there is a small fork made of bamboo, and on the right-hand side, there is a dinner knife that is commonly used when dividing meat.
The first time a few people saw a dish with three kinds of tableware in front of them, they seemed a little overwhelmed, and they were also scared, if the way to use these tableware was wrong, it seemed that he was very dirty, so everyone invariably looked at the senior chef Zeng Shen.
Zeng Shen couldn't help it, it was the first time for him, and he also didn't want to lose his sense of proportion and make people see the joke, so he looked up at Yang Huairen again.
Yang Huairen didn't need to go over to him in person to point out the use of forks and table knives, smiled and raised his hands to make a few gestures, using this method to hint at the correct use of knives and forks for several guests.
Zeng Shen, as a chef, naturally quickly understood Yang Huairen's gestures, so he picked up the knife and fork, fixed the steak on the plate with a fork, and then held the knife in his right hand and divided the steak into small pieces first.
Then he used a fork to fork up a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and the others did the same when they saw this, and suddenly turned into a noble Western-style aristocrat, which made Yang Huairen have an illusion for a moment.
When Zeng Shen put the steak in his mouth, he immediately felt why Yang Huairen put together several ingredients that he didn't want to dry.
Westerners eat meat as a staple food, and many times eat steak and a side dish that may be a vegetable salad, rather than an extra portion of bread as a staple food.
But Chinese seem to be different, no matter what food they eat, in addition to eating and drinking, they like to eat rice or pasta as a staple food.
The combination of fried steak and egg fried rice may not sound like a good match, but when you actually eat it in your mouth, you can feel the obvious layering of the two foods after they are fused together.
In particular, the meat of the steak is mixed with crispy rice grains, and the texture is also novel, and the rich mellow flavor of the cheese and the sweet and sour taste of the tomato sauce make the steak not only not greasy, but also refreshing.
After eating a piece, Zeng Shen couldn't help but nod and praise, "The prince is worthy of the title of the god of cooking, and I think that no one in this world can surpass the prince's cooking skills." ”
Zhao Ji also praised the audience and said, "Chef Yang made a simple steak with such a rich taste, it is really rare, rare!" ”
Zheng Chunshan and Boss Zheng hurriedly stood up to add the icing on the cake, "The steak is not only delicious, but the prince also fully shows the production process, which can be described as broad-minded." ”
Li Gefei is relatively not so exaggerated, but the taste of the steak is indeed very good, he just said four words very pertinently, "It tastes good." ”
Qin Shaoyou didn't have so many worries, and had already begun to shake his head and brew a poem to praise Yang Huairen's exquisite cooking skills......
