Yao Shi made it clear today that he wanted to show off his skills in front of Fu Yu. He held scissors and processed the shrimp gun, shrimp tentacles and shrimp claws. Then he used a toothpick to pick out the shrimp threads, cleaned them and drained them.
Next, process the baby abalone, razor clam, and squid respectively.
Wash what needs to be washed, cut what needs to be cut, stack them together, add minced ginger, cooking wine, black pepper, light soy sauce, and salt and marinate evenly.
While the seafood is marinating, process the other auxiliary ingredients. Slice onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chilies into sections.
Wash seafood mushrooms.
Dice potatoes and carrots.
Put the potatoes, carrots and fish balls into the pot and blanch until cooked through, then drain out the water...
Yao Shi prepared the sauce and handed it to Fu Yu: "Here, have a taste."
Fu Yu took it, reached out and put a little bit in his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but say: "Fuck..."
Zhao Meng and Sun Qingning both turned their heads and stared at Fu Yu.
Yao Shi thought that his cooking techniques and the taste of the secret sauce had conquered Fu Yu, so he smiled calmly.
This is right!
No matter how talented he is, he still has little cooking experience and is still young!
Zhao Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Fu Yu with a hint of endearment: Silly boy, are you surprised?
Yao Shi's movements in handling seafood and preparing dishes are indeed very smooth.
Because of his fast hand speed and skillful technique, it looks very beautiful to outsiders.
As for the ratio of the secret sauce, it is the secret recipe handed down by Mr. Dong back then. The taste must be very mellow and special.
But Fu Yu actually didn't lament this!
But he was surprised to discover something.
That is, he just picked out a little bit of the sauce from the sauce bowl to taste, but the proportion and taste of the entire bowl of sauce changed unexpectedly.
And all of this was clearly displayed before his eyes.
Isn’t this too awesome?
Thinking of this, Fu Yu felt his breathing quicken.
He clearly saw that the bowl of sauce contained hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, tomato sauce, red wine, and sweet noodle sauce.
And when he was holding the porcelain bowl containing the condiments, lines of dialog boxes clearly appeared in front of him:
[Seafood sauce: 15 grams, the amount is not up to standard...]
[Fuel consumption: 17 grams, the input amount does not meet the standard...]
...
[Evaluation of completion of preparation of main ingredients, 86 points, seafood sauce, oil consumption...the proportion of sweet noodle sauce is not up to standard, the taste is salty, and the deliciousness is not enough...]
Fu Yu saw a red area on the mixing bowl. Some places are green, which means the seasoning ratio is just right, and some are red, which means the seasoning ratio is not up to standard.
This discovery was a big surprise for Fu Yu!
Why do you say that?
The cooking operation itself is not very difficult. As long as you master the heat and have a certain understanding of the processing of ingredients, you can perform the cooking operation.
What’s the most difficult thing about making a delicious dish?
The accuracy of the seasoning ratio is very difficult to grasp.
Therefore, many times the difference in cooking skills between chefs often depends on their own mastery of the seasoning ratio.
For example, if you cook this seafood stew pot according to the prescribed seasonings, you can make a dish with good taste.
However, if you want to achieve the most perfect taste of the dishes, you must accurately control the proportions when preparing the sauce!
Because of the green line and dialog box prompts, Fu Yu can easily control the seasoning ratio.
However, Fu Yu is often unable to accurately grasp the taste of the sauce.
Although the lamb is beautiful, it is difficult for everyone to agree.
Even a very good chef cannot guarantee that the dishes he cooks will be recognized and appreciated by everyone.
approval.
But now that there are accurate prompts in the dialog box, it means that as long as he adjusts according to the prompts on the flavor ratio in the dialog box, he can prepare the most suitable flavor for the public.
Realizing this, how could Fu Yu not be excited?
For a chef, this is simply an indestructible weapon!
But now, I know that the bowl of sauce in my hand is slightly lacking in proportion.
But Fu Yu watched but didn't dare to speak!
He could clearly see the difference in quantity of each sauce to achieve the perfect ratio.
If added, this dish will taste very good after cooking!
At this time, Fu Yu was full of hesitation.
He wanted to remind Yao Shi, but he certainly couldn't say it directly.
Putting aside whether other people would believe it or not, he couldn't mention it just for the sake of face.
Even if he was sure what he said was right, in terms of dealing with people, in a situation like this, he couldn't really correct him.
After Fu Yu hesitated for a moment, he gave up the idea of reminding him aloud.
Perhaps, only when you truly grow up and your cooking skills are far superior to others, can you be able to teach others how to cook as you please, without having to think about things and worry too much.
Thinking of this, Fu Yu silently watched the cooking progress.
All kinds of tastes came to my mind.
Come on!
Fu Yu!
The cooking continues, Yao Shi is worthy of being the chef, this series of operations is really very skillful.
Add the prepared sauce to the pot, mix well, and simmer until thick and bubbling.
At this time, Yao Shi suddenly warned: "When cooking the sauce, be careful not to burn it, otherwise it will taste bitter."
Fu Yu quickly responded: "Okay, I remember."
In fact, an appropriate amount of water and sugar were added to the sauce. After the sugar melted, honey was added.
But Yao Shi did not explain carefully when cooking.
He moves very quickly when cooking, and you have to pay close attention to find some subtleties in the details.
As long as you don't pay attention, such as the steps of adding sugar and honey, you will be ignored.
When Yao Shi was instructing cooking, he never mentioned these operations.
It's not that he deliberately conceals anything, but that these operations are too common. In his concept, things like these don't need to be emphasized, and anyone with eyes can see it.
To make seafood stew, use a casserole to stew it.
After adding oil to heat, add half of the onion, ginger, garlic, and dried chili pepper, and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant.
Pour in the marinated seafood, stir-fry evenly until it changes color slightly, then add potatoes, carrots, the other half of the onion, seafood mushrooms, and fish balls and stir-fry evenly.
Cover the pot and simmer over low heat until the seafood is thoroughly cooked.
To make this dish, you must wait until the seafood is simmered and stewed before seasoning, so that the sauce can more easily penetrate into the meat, making the seafood not only delicious but also delicious.
Pour the cooked sauce into the pot and stir to coat.
Stir well, cover the pot, and finally simmer over low heat.
Yao Shi adjusted the heat, turned around and gave instructions: "If you want to make this seafood stew pot, you must pay attention to the fact that all ingredients cannot be stewed directly. Seafood can be stewed directly because it is easy to cook, but it is hard. But this cannot be done for other ingredients, such as potatoes, carrots, fish balls, etc., which need to be blanched in advance. Stewing for a short time cannot guarantee that these ingredients will be soft, glutinous and cooked, and it will not be able to fully absorb the seafood gravy, so that the taste will not be integrated. "
These are Yao Shi’s own experiences summed up through repeated cooking.
Although the truth is very simple, it is often easily ignored.
Fu Yu nodded with great benefit.
It's not because these experiences are profound and precious, but because Yao Shi's way of teaching and guidance is very natural, and his words are also very high-level.
Fu Yu usually studied cooking with Zhao Meng and Liu Yunong, and gradually he became aware of the differences in their cooking habits.
As for Yao Shi, because he had less contact time, Fu Yu would be more attentive during the learning process.
After several cooking studies, he found that Yao Shi had a very high degree of understanding and grasp of ingredients. When giving instructions, he would be particularly careful to extract all the key points of cooking a dish through some easy-to-understand words. .
That way, it will be easier for others to understand.
And he can also focus more on the cooking at hand, without being too distracted by giving instructions.
At this time, the ingredients in the pot are basically cooked. Open the pot and turn the ingredients from bottom to top to disperse the water vapor. Arrange them on a plate and sprinkle with a pinch of white sesame seeds and a few green onions for decoration.
Finally, drizzle with sesame oil for fragrance.
The seafood stew pot is full of color and fragrance. When placing the pot, all the seafood is covered. The orange-red sauce color and the deliciousness of the seafood are enough to tempt you.
Yao Shi looked at the dishes in the pot with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If you want to make this dish well, you must remember that you cannot stir it when stewing, and the heat must not be too high. Cook it over medium to small heat, and the bottom of the pot It can’t be burnt.”
All stewed dishes are actually very similar in terms of preparation methods. The difference lies in the preparation method of the sauce.
In addition, control of the heat is also crucial.
Fu Yu carefully memorized all the details of the operation method, and quickly helped carry the pot and put it on the serving table.
Sun Qingning stood nearby, dumbfounded and unable to intervene at all.
Zhao Meng took a look at the performance of the two people, and it was clear that they were superior to each other.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's better to be the apprentice who leads him out hand in hand!
It's really pleasing to the eye, but the later part is still somewhat uninteresting.
This ordering list calls for such a seafood stew.
As for the staple food, Bai An took the orders, and the kitchen was relaxed again for a while.
Yao Shi took a tissue and wiped his hands. When he turned his head and looked at Fu Yu, he suddenly remembered something and asked casually: "By the way, Xiao Fu, it seems that the annual meeting is less than a week away, right? What about your participation in the competition?" How is it going now?"
When mentioning this matter, Fu Yu couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
The video he recorded has been sent out, but he has not yet received any feedback, neither notification nor acknowledgment.
It's probably out of the question, right?
Otherwise, there should have been a notification already.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have prepared such a simple cooking video!
You should show off your unique skills.
Thinking about it now, I feel a bit regretful.
When the video was recorded, his cooking skills were not as advanced as they are now.
It would be a pity if he wasn't selected. If only he could be given a little more time...
"The cooking video has been edited and submitted. It looked okay at the time, but... there was no reply. I thought about asking Sister Feng before, but then I thought, if there is really news, Sister Feng would definitely tell me, so I never took the initiative to ask."
"Seeing as the New Year has passed and there is still no news, I guess I didn't choose."
After hearing this, Yao Shi was stunned: "On what date did you submit the video? Did Feng Xiaoxiao contact you? How about I help you find out? If that doesn't work, just contact Feng Xiaoxiao. Since she helped you register for the competition, Yes, I should be able to get some inside information."
"Okay, okay, we can at least have some idea here."
"I do know someone in the Provincial Food Association. I'm quite familiar with the vice president. He came to Bei'an some time ago and we had dinner together. I have a good relationship with someone from the publicity team. Let me take a look. Let me ask you a question."
Although Yao Shi has not joined the Food Association, he still understands the things inside.
Moreover, a young man like Fu Yu, who originally had few channels to become famous, has just participated in some association activities.
It can broaden your horizons and increase your connections. If you are lucky enough to stand out among the outstanding contestants, it will only be a matter of time before you become famous in the circle.
If you want to become a good chef, working behind closed doors is the most undesirable thing.
Reputation is never optional. If you have the opportunity, you still have to find a way to seize it, work hard to become famous, and increase your reputation.
I think Feng Xiaoxiao has always been doing well in the circle, and he should have a wide network of contacts.
Since she was able to make arrangements to help Fu Yu register for the competition, she must have had connections in the association.
Yao Shi still attaches great importance to large-scale events such as the annual meeting.
After all, generally speaking, the judges who are qualified to make evaluations mainly come from two major fields.
One is a celebrity chef with superb cooking skills who is somewhat famous in his own right.
The second is a successful person who loves food promotion and runs food projects himself.
Regardless of their character, the only thing these two types of people have in common is that they both have a deep knowledge of gourmet cooking.
If you want to gain their recognition and support, you must first have superb cooking skills.
Yao Shi saw Fu Yu's level and it was not impossible to stand out among the contestants.
After all, the entries were recorded cooking videos.
When people watch the video, they have a completely different feeling than watching it live.
Compared with live cooking, the visual impression given by cooking videos and the personal image of the contestants also occupy a certain proportion of the judgment.
Everyone loves beautiful things.
Fu Yu has a very good image, and his cooking skills are very solid, and his cooking skills are also very good.
In Yao Shi's opinion, the possibility of winning is still very high.
It is precisely because of this that Yao Shi is so concerned about this matter.
Fu Yu's working hours are too short and he lacks employment experience. If his cooking skills are not solid, it will be difficult for him to be accepted and recognized by everyone.
At this time, Yao Shi felt a little regretful. He would have known that he had taken care of Fu Yu.
pity......
