Fu Yu said he was confident, but in fact he was not that stable in his heart.
He is very worried now!
What worries him is that he doesn't know how picky his customers are and whether they can accept cooking tastes different from the original Liu's cuisine.
After all, the dishes he wanted to cook were exactly based on the operating procedures of classic old recipes.
but......
Since it is a classic old taste, it is an exemplary, authoritative and enduring taste inheritance.
Since Fan Laosan is very picky, he should like the most classic dishes, right?
After all, the improved version of the flavor, no matter how many techniques and combinations are used, is ultimately an extension of the classic flavor.
After all, it remains true to its roots.
While the waiter was starting to prepare the dishes, Fu Yu quickly looked through the classic recipes.
The recipe contains very detailed descriptions of how to cook the soft and glutinous sauce duck.
From the ingredients, to cooking methods, to precautions, and even the final presentation, there are pictures for detailed breakdown.
Fu Yu carefully read the cooking tutorial, memorizing all the steps, and then carefully read the plate layout and specific operation methods.
No wonder this soft and glutinous sauce duck has been designated as the exclusive dish of the main store.
On the one hand, it is used as a gimmick to attract customers.
On the other hand, it is also because this dish is really troublesome to cook.
Whether it is selecting ingredients, preparing ingredients, or cooking methods, it is quite time-consuming.
When making this dish, if you move quickly, you can prepare a big table.
It is probably at the main store. This dish probably only appears on the order list once in a while and is not sold often.
In fact, if Fu Yu is given more time, he can study this dish carefully and improve the cooking details.
However... the situation was urgent, and Fu Yu had no time to think about it, so he could only start cooking according to the recipe.
The main ingredient of soft and glutinous sauce duck is duck.
To make this dish, the classic old taste recipe requires using old shelduck.
In addition to the old shelduck, there is another alternative, which is the wild duck.
In fact, this dish is modified from the traditional Hunan dish Thunder Duck. It is recorded in the classic old flavor recipe that since the improvement, this dish has become another out-and-out special dish.
Fu Yu knew about Thunder Duck. This dish is available in the music restaurant.
The wild duck is pickled, fried, and then steamed in a steamer. It has a soft, glutinous texture and rich flavor.
However, the disadvantage of traditional Thunder Duck is that it is oily and spicy.
This will result in a smaller audience for this dish.
It is not suitable for customers outside Hunan.
So someone later specially improved this dish.
The sauces used in the dishes combine the characteristics of the north and the south.
After dozens of trial productions, a secret sauce mixed with various sauces was formulated to ensure the delicious taste of duck meat.
Duck meat is not easy to taste, so the flavor of the seasoning stays in the show, which has always been a headache for chefs during cooking.
This soft and glutinous sauce duck perfectly solves this problem.
The worker quickly prepared all the ingredients Fu Yu needed.
Fortunately, there happened to be a half-finished ginger duck tonight.
Although the old shelduck in the kitchen is fried and stewed in advance, when it is served, you only need to stir-fry it again and it can be served directly on the plate.
But the store has always had the habit of preparing a lot of ingredients.
So when the old Shelduck purchased the goods, he kept two more than expected.
The old shelduck sent by the worker weighed more than three kilograms, which met Fu Yu's requirements.
For this dish, young duck is absolutely not an option.
Because the duck will rot as soon as it is boiled.
The larger shelduck meat has a more fragrant taste, which is unmatched by other duck meats.
It is understandable that old shelduck is used to cook soft and glutinous sauce duck.
However, Fu Yu ordered the workers to prepare rapeseed oil and lard, which made Liu Zhangpeng a little confused.
Because when cooking ducks in stores, salad oil is generally not used, but rapeseed oil is mostly used.
If lard is added to this, wouldn't it taste weird?
Although lard itself is very fragrant, stir-frying it with duck still doesn't feel right.
Unknowingly, Liu Zhangpeng began to multitask without even realizing it.
While cooking the ingredients quickly, he tried his best to cope with the orders that kept coming from the front hall.
While distractedly paying attention to the movements on Fu Yu's side.
This made him somewhat confused.
But fortunately, the assistant cook who is with him is very reliable and can share a lot of work for him.
After carefully checking all the ingredients to make sure everything was ready, Fu Yu immediately started cooking the soft and glutinous sauce duck.
Cut the processed old shelduck into meat pieces that are 4 cm long and 3 cm wide.
Cut the coriander into 3cm long sections.
Cut green onions and dried chilies into 3 cm long strips.
In the classic old-flavor recipes, precise data requirements for the operation of all ingredients make Fu Yu more and more comfortable in operation.
Fu Yu picked up the wok.
The handyman looked at the rapeseed oil and cooked lard placed on the kitchen table and frowned.
When he was preparing the ingredients just now, he noticed that Fu Yu would use these two oils when cooking.
But rapeseed oil is fine, but using lard is a bit too nondescript, right?
The laborer was hired temporarily locally and had a straightforward personality. He would naturally ask what was on his mind.
"Fu Chu, do you need lard to make the soft and glutinous sauce duck?"
Fu Yu nodded: "Well, lard can better enhance the overall taste of the dishes."
When the worker heard what Fu Yu said, he immediately shook his head!
Although he has only been working at Shangshi Private Restaurant for less than two months, he has already been exposed to cooking for more than two years.
Very knowledgeable about various cooking oils.
What is the function of lard?
Of course he knows.
But it is precisely because of knowing that I am even more worried.
Lard is very fragrant and really enhances the flavor of dishes.
But it also tastes very special.
In comparison, the old shelduck, which is to be stewed and stir-fried, is obviously not as strong in flavor as lard.
If it is affected by the taste of lard, the taste of this soft and glutinous sauce duck will definitely be affected!
This dish was originally the main specialty of Liu's cuisine, and outsiders would definitely not be able to cook this exclusive taste.
Now Fu Yu seems to be cooking as he pleases.
Is this possible?
Although I don't know how to cook ordinary soft and glutinous sauce duck, Fu Yu's method of operation really doesn't look very reliable!
Don’t think that the kitchen workers don’t understand anything because they don’t have experience in cooking and their working hours are short.
They work as odd jobs next to the chef, so they still have a chance to steal the chef's skills. In terms of cooking, they are definitely not as good as the chef in charge.
But compared to ordinary people, you still need to be more knowledgeable when it comes to cooking.
So when I saw Fu Yu preparing to cook with lard, I suddenly felt uneasy.
