The grilled saury is served with small limes and grated radish dripping with soy sauce, and it's ready for presentation.
Fu Yu always uses a long plate to serve fish, and a medium-sized long plate is used for fish.
The small sour oranges are placed in a wide-mouthed round cup, and the mashed radish is squeezed into a flower shape for decoration.
A waiter came to pick up the food.
Fu Yu warned while placing the plate: "The head of the fish is on the left, the belly of the fish faces the customer, and the back of the fish is facing away."
The waiter nodded: "Okay, Fu Chu."
After the waiter left, Fu Yu looked up and found that Liu Yuqing was still recording, so he said casually: "Sour orange and pureed radish are the standard ingredients for grilled saury. If one of them is missing, it will feel incomplete."
Liu Yuqing silently approved in her heart: That’s right!
This is her favorite way of eating too.
Fu Yu continued: "The grilled saury has very tender meat. The internal organs are on the belly side of the fish. The meat on the belly is just a thin layer. If you poke deeply with chopsticks, you will hit the internal organs. If you don't eat the internal organs, You can use chopsticks to gently scrape off the meat from the belly of the fish and eat it. Saury has a lot of spines, but they are very soft. If you are too lazy to pick the spines, you can eat the meat with the spines. After all, they say eating fish bones can supplement calcium."
Liu Yuqing burst out laughing, and then realized that the recording could be ended.
"Fu Chu, let's add WeChat so I can send the video to you."
Fu Yu wiped his hands, took out his mobile phone, and exchanged WeChat messages with Liu Yuqing.
Liu Yuqing’s nickname is: Little Sun
The avatar is a picture of a cartoon sun, which looks very festive.
Liu Yuqing sent the video to Fu Yu and praised her sincerely: "Fu Chu, I noticed that you are very attentive to cooking. No wonder everyone says you are good at cooking!"
Fu Yu was stunned and suddenly remembered what Zhao Meng once said to Sun Qingning.
At that time, not long after Sun Qingning started cooking, he finished cooking and arranged the dishes for Zhao Meng to take a look at.
At that time, Zhao Meng said very bluntly that the food he cooked had no soul.
Fu Yu was just watching the fun and listening to Zhao Meng's lecture to Sun Qingning, but he didn't take these words to heart.
But now, listening to Liu Yuqing complimenting herself politely, I don't know why, I suddenly remembered this matter.
He used to think that when Zhao Meng was training people, what he said about cooking had no soul and was just a spur-of-the-moment comment.
However, now when I think back to this sentence and Zhao Meng's mentality when he said this sentence, I suddenly feel like I have a sudden realization.
How to cook food to give it soul?
Simply coping and cooking in order to complete the work is a lack of thinking.
I didn’t think about the whole meaning and process of cooking at all.
Just like making a movie, I followed the screenwriter's outline from beginning to end without adding my own understanding and thinking.
There is a lack of understanding of the entire work and the expression of the intention that the story wants to convey.
So, what is the soul of a dish?
"Fu Chu, I'm leaving first."
Liu Yuqing said hello and went back to the front hall.
Fu Yu didn't have any barbecue orders for the time being, so he turned around and went to the red case area.
As he walked, he frowned in thought, always feeling like he had vaguely captured some clues.
What is the soul?
When you start making a dish, no matter what ingredients you choose, what flavor you plan to cook it into, or even what operating techniques you use.
The ultimate goal is to make this dish well.
The quality of a dish depends on whether it tastes good in color and taste in the end.
For example, the saury was grilled just now.
How can grilled saury be endowed with soul?
Anyone can make grilled saury. It's like a movie. Anyone can be filmed by just pulling someone from the circle.
But who can produce the best results will be recognized by the audience.
In fact, the two are exactly the same.
To make a dish full of soul, it should be to find a way to treat the dish as life.
How to incorporate your own cooking ideas and techniques into the cooking process.
Think about how you can make this dish more delicious and tasty.
At this moment, Fu Yu felt like he was enlightened!
He looked thoughtfully at the busy scene in the back kitchen.
When grilling saury just now, the most important thing to pay attention to is the ratio of heat and seasonings.
The meat of saury is very tender and the skin is very thin. Although it is rich in oil, when grilling, you still need to pay attention to brushing oil on the grill to prevent sticking.
When Fu Yu is operating, he can accurately avoid all possibilities of damaging the surface of the grilled fish because of his experience in repeated cooking in practical teaching classes.
In fact, he didn't realize it. At that time, he was already thinking about how to use the best method to grill saury, and to minimize all factors that might affect customers' appetite and avoid them as much as possible.
Maintaining the integrity of the saury's skin is also to effectively enhance customers' visual enjoyment and whet their appetites.
During the baking process, Fu Yu was actually thinking about every step of the operation.
From the size of the charcoal fire, to the time to turn the saury over, to the degree of fat roasting that is best for sprinkling seasonings, to all the details of the final presentation.
For the first time, Fu Yu tried to summarize his operation after cooking.
But in the end, I still have too little experience.
Maybe when the task is actually completed, I might be able to develop the best grilling method for barbecue.
Not only the heat control, but also the seasoning ratio, you may be able to create your own secret seasoning that is well received.
From then on, when people mentioned it, the name on people's lips was "Fu's BBQ"!
Thinking of this, Fu Yu couldn't help but feel a little bit excited!
Once this person has a goal, he immediately becomes motivated.
Fu Yu clearly knew that what he should do most now was to pay more attention, think more, and summarize more while his mind was enlightened.
It was a busy time in the kitchen, and Zhao Meng was staring at the steamed seafood in the pot.
Sun Qingning took a break from his busy schedule and saw Fu Yu coming back. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw that he was thinking and did not dare to interrupt.
He is now very familiar with Fu Yu.
Knowing that in this state, Fu Yu definitely didn't want others to disturb him.
Sun Qingning turned around and was about to continue cooking when Fu Yu suddenly came over and said, "Qingning, will you cooperate with me to make a new record?"
Sun Qingning was stunned and asked in surprise: "What record?"
Fu Yu smiled: "Master Chen said before that he uses the secret seasoning recipe taught by the master for barbecue. Do you still remember it?"
Sun Qingning nodded: "I remember! But Master Chen's barbecue seasoning is really delicious, and the customers in the store responded very well!"
Fu Yu smiled slightly: "Tell me, is it possible for me to innovate a new barbecue recipe?"
Sun Qingning was stunned and said in surprise: "Fu Chef, Master Chen's secret recipe was passed down from the master. Are you implying that Chef Zhao will also get you a copy of the master's secret recipe?"
Fu Yu said confidently: "Why am I pointing at him? Believe it or not, I can create a brand new barbecue recipe myself!"
Sun Qingning: "!"
