After determining the order of cooking the medicinal food, Fu Yu sorted out the ingredients and seasonings while thinking about the specific cooking operations and some details to pay attention to.
The cooking steps for the dishes in the Endocrine Diet Therapy Recipe are also very detailed. However, because it is a medicinal diet, each dish will be specially labeled with the specific treatment symptoms and related curative effects.
Because we have to consider that customers come to dine and have certain taste preferences, there are many issues that need to be taken into consideration.
Liu Shaoxian looked at the relevant information of the customers who ordered the medicinal meals, frowned slightly, and murmured in his heart.
Beauty medicated diets are very common, and they usually focus on regulating qi and blood. He has prescribed them to people, but they are usually nourishing medicated diets with mild medicinal properties.
However, the medicinal diet prescribed by Fu Yu is mainly to regulate the spleen and stomach, and in addition, there are medicinal diets for relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
What does beauty and beauty have to do with relieving coughs and strengthening the spleen?
Aren’t they generally focused on regulating endocrine and replenishing blood and Qi?
If you talk about nourishing the lungs and strengthening the spleen, it can be somewhat effective, but relieving coughs and reducing phlegm seems a bit far-fetched, right?
Liu Shao first looked at the medicinal recipes carefully and tasted the Chinese medicinal materials used in these dishes one by one, feeling a little puzzled.
He handed the recipe to Xiao Jiping and expressed his thoughts.
Xiao Jiping also looked confused.
It’s ridiculous to make medicated diet for relieving cough and reducing phlegm for customers who need beauty and beauty care. It’s not bad to say that it is to regulate the body, but this cough and phlegm reduction has nothing to do with beauty and beauty.
They don't know that the medicinal and dietary recipes Fu Yu prescribed today are all tailor-made for customers who come here and want to beautify their skin.
Putting the ingredients needed within easy reach, Fu Yu started cooking.
The first thing he made was Huaishan Codonopsis and Codonopsis Quail Soup.
Excessive moisture can easily damage Yang Qi.
If moisture remains in the organs and meridians, its heavy turbidity and viscosity will cause the spleen to lose health.
It can also cause spleen deficiency, making people feel sleepy and yawn repeatedly.
It will also make the spleen weak and make the stomach qi easily rise, resulting in poor appetite.
This medicinal recipe was customized by Fu Yu for a high school teacher in this city.
Teachers are mental workers. They usually worry about students. They don't get enough rest and stay up late for a long time, which causes serious physical damage.
This teacher was a new customer introduced to the store by an old customer. Fu Yu had a careful conversation with her and he had a fairly good understanding of her situation.
This Huaishan Codonopsis pilosula stewed quail has the effect of regulating this aspect.
Maybe because I am a teacher, I have quite a lot of requirements for medicinal foods, and the questions are very detailed.
Fu Yu simply took a look at the recipe for endocrine therapy and repeated the description of the specific therapeutic effects of this dish from the original text.
At first, the high school teacher listened to Fu Yu's introduction to the efficacy of medicated diet with a dubious attitude. However, when Fu Yu mentioned that "Famous Doctors" said that Huaishan can "treat fatigue and weight loss, replenish the five internal organs, and remove irritability and heat." .
In addition, "Compendium of Materia Medica" states that Codonopsis pilosula "strengthens the spleen and nourishes yin without dryness, nourishes stomach yin without dampness".
Quail is called "animal ginseng".
When the two are combined into a decoction, it can strengthen the spleen, help yang, harmonize the stomach and eliminate troubles.
The high school teacher immediately changed his attitude and looked at Fu Yu with a slightly different look.
She didn't expect that this young chef actually knew medicine, and he sounded like he had read a lot of medical books and was very professional.
With this first impression, communication became very smooth for the subsequent customization of medicinal meals.
In fact, another medicinal meal for relieving cough and reducing phlegm was also customized for this high school teacher. Because the other person was not short of money, trusted him, and was willing to follow his arrangements, Fu Yu was more willing to do his best.
The yam and dangshen were soaked directly from the pharmacy. Fu Yu simply washed them and then started to process the quail.
He used to do this job often, and he was very efficient at it.
The quails prepared at the music restaurant were quite big. Fu Yu grabbed one directly from the cage, tied the legs of the live quails with ropes, found a larger basin, and poured cold water into the basin to cover the height of the quails. , put the quail in the water and let it drown.
Seeing that Fu Yu did not cut his neck to bleed, but instead drowned the quail, Liu Shaoxian and Xiao Jiping looked at each other!
Both of them were stunned!
Don’t we need to deal with it like killing a chicken? ?
Generally speaking, for poultry like this, the necks should be cut to bleed, and then the feathers should be ironed and the internal organs cleaned. This way, the blood can be drained cleanly and the food will taste better.
However, Fu Yu didn't!
Liu Yunong and Yao Shi looked calm.
The two stretched out their heads to watch Fu Yu operate.
Yao Shi paid attention to the way Fu Yu knotted the rope when tying the quail legs.
It's very special, and it seems simple to operate, but in fact there are secrets inside, such as the way of winding and knotting, which are very novel.
Yao Shi glanced at Liu Yunong beside him without any trace. Fu Yu should have learned this skill from Liu Yunong, right?
Liu Yunong paid attention to Fu Yu's grasp of the time of drowning when he drowned the quail in water.
In fact, in her opinion, time seemed a bit short.
Normally it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes, but Fu Yu only drowned for about a minute and a half before he fished the quail out.
Moreover, after Fu Yu picked up the quail, he did not check to see if it was completely drowned. Instead, he directly put the quail into the prepared boiling water, plucked out the hair quickly, and then disemboweled the quail to remove the internal organs.
What attracted Liu Yunong's attention was that the quail was motionless when it was lowered into the boiling water, indicating that it had successfully drowned before.
If this timing is not a coincidence, it can only be attributed to Fu Yu's rich experience in this area and his ability to accurately determine the time when the quail drowned.
It seems like a very simple operation, but it is actually very difficult.
For ordinary people, there is no need to be so precise about the length of time they may drown.
However, for kitchen work, saving time is very critical.
The more preparation time is reduced, the more time is left for the chef to cook.
The chef can cook steadily, and the dishes he cooks will definitely be more perfect in details than those cooked in a hurry.
After taking care of the quail, Fu Yu put the washed lean pork into whole pieces without cutting it with a knife, put it into the clay pot together with the ginger, and added water.
Fu Yu was very careful in the process of mixing water. Unlike ordinary chefs, he directly estimated the amount of water and poured it into the clay pot at once.
Rather, it's like looking at the scale, and that delicate energy looks a bit nondescript.
Liu Yunong and Yao Shi have become accustomed to this.
On the contrary, after Liu Shaoxian noticed this, his impression of Du Yu improved significantly.
He is a cautious and meticulous person, and he has very high requirements for the recipes and cooking techniques of medicinal meals.
Most people tend to be strict with themselves and lenient with others.
However, when Liu Shaoxian came here, he was strict with himself and held others to the same standards.
After all, medicated food is not like cooking other dishes. When making soup, it doesn't matter if there is more or less water, and it doesn't matter if the fire is higher or lower.
However, medicated diet is based on the theoretical guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, cooking and nutrition, strictly follows the medicated diet formula, matches Chinese medicine with certain foods with medicinal value, and is made using China's unique cooking technology and modern scientific methods.
There are strict standards and requirements for the amount of water, the ratio of ingredients, and the ingredients and dosage of traditional Chinese medicine.
Fu Yu's carefulness and seriousness in cooking made Liu Shaoxian feel very recognized and approved.
Fu Yu put the quail and Codonopsis pilosula into the clay pot.
After the pot boils, it is changed to a slow fire.
Regarding the control of the heat, Fu Yu did it neatly. He didn't look at the time or turn the ingredients. He just made adjustments based on his feeling.
Liu Shaoxian watched Fu Yu operate, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
He can also cook, and is especially good at cooking medicinal foods, so he knows very well how important it is to control the heat when cooking.
As far as Fu Yu is concerned, how many dishes does he need to cook to reach this level?
If Fu Yu could hear Liu Shaoxian's inner voice at this time, he would definitely agree with it and feel emotional.
God knows, how many dishes has he cooked in real life and in his mind?
In the teaching practice class, the cooking practice that lasted for a second made him familiar with all the dishes he had cooked, whether it was the ingredients or the ratio of seasonings.
Taking out an ingredient at random, he can even start it directly and write a comprehensive paper on a series of detailed contents from the freshness of the ingredient to the cooking operation.
There was Codonopsis pilosula and quail soup simmering in the pot, and Fu Yu started cooking pork lungs braised with Codonopsis pilosula and lily.
This dish is made with Codonopsis pilosula and lily as the main ingredients, and it has a very special taste.
Lily nourishes lung qi and nourishes lung yin.
Codonopsis pilosula is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, and its main function is to replenish qi.
Pork lung soup can cure cough due to lung deficiency and hemoptysis due to lung deficiency.
The three flavors of lily, dangshen and pig lung are combined into one, which can nourish lung qi and nourish lung yin.
Because of his special profession, the high school teacher talks a lot and often gets angry, so his lungs and spleen are weak.
The reason why Fu Yu thought of making this medicinal dish was because he learned through communication that high school teachers often stay up late at night, and their sleep quality is also very poor, and they often wake up coughing in the middle of the night.
I already had a weak spleen and stomach, a bad complexion, and could no longer sleep peacefully. It was strange that my skin could be healed.
If your skin is not good, your appearance will naturally be affected. If you want to beautify your skin and regulate your complexion, you must first find ways to improve your sleep quality.
Fu Yu planned to help her replenish lung qi and nourish lung yin first, and cure her chronic cough.
Then supplement the medicinal diet to nourish qi and blood to further consolidate the conditioning.
Because I was in a hurry to make a medicinal diet, the medicinal materials sent from the pharmacy were soaked directly.
Cooperating with pharmacies is great in this regard. The pharmacies themselves also need to prepare traditional Chinese medicine, and the medicinal materials are all prepared and can be used as needed.
When Fu Yu was cooking herbal meals, Zhang Zhen would send a worker over to help him at the beginning.
But later I discovered that when it comes to making herbal meals, there is really no need for outsiders to help cook.
As long as all the ingredients are prepared, Fu Yu can handle them all by himself.
This is not to say that those who are capable of fuyu work hard and do the work themselves but do not know how to order others.
But when cooking medicated meals, there are certain requirements for the handling of ingredients.
For example, pig lungs are now used in cooking.
Pig lungs have very rich capillaries, so they must be washed thoroughly during initial processing.
Fu Yu used the traditional method of repeatedly rinsing the pig lungs with running water.
Put the throat of the pig's lungs under the faucet, open the faucet and fill it up, then squeeze out the water. Repeat this many times until the blood in the pig's lungs is washed away. This can ensure the taste and quality of the soup.
Carefully clean the pig lungs, Fu Yu cuts the pig lungs into pieces, blanch them in a pot of boiling water, remove and drain.
Remove the roots of fresh lilies, break off the lily petals, and rinse them with clean water.
Wash Codonopsis pilosula and wolfberry berries separately and drain the water.
Put the pig lung pieces, lilies, Codonopsis pilosula, and wolfberry into the clay pot, add water, and simmer over low heat.
Although he had some doubts about Fu Yu's custom-made medicated diet recipe, Liu Shaoxian was still very satisfied with the braised pork lungs with dangshen and lily made by Fu Yu in terms of the selection and cooking of the medicated diet itself.
Just by looking at this medicinal dish, it can be seen that Fu Yu is really knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine.
Just like lily, its main function is to nourish lung qi and nourish lung yin.
However, the effect of lily alone in treating cough is relatively weak.
General chronic cough often manifests as damage to yin and qi, and deficiency of both qi and yin. In treatment, both qi and yin must be supplemented to achieve good results.
Codonopsis pilosula is sweet in taste, mild in nature, and has mild effects. It is a tonic product with wide application and few side effects. It is a perfect match when paired with lily.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated the concept of "replenishing the internal organs wherever you eat".
Pork lung soup can nourish the lungs, treat cough due to lung deficiency, and treat hemoptysis due to lung deficiency.
The three flavors of lily, dangshen and pig lung are combined into one, which can nourish lung qi and nourish lung yin. It has a good therapeutic effect on people with chronic cough due to lung deficiency and repeated attacks that are difficult to cure.
If you are interested in treating chronic illnesses such as cough, this medicinal diet is very appropriate and the effect is good.
Liu Shaoxian turned around and whispered with Xiao Jiping about the efficacy of these two medicinal meals.
Xiao Jiping also agreed with Liu Shaoxian's point of view. At the same time, he obviously had a good impression of Yu, and his words were very protective.
Xiao Jiping used a voice that could only be heard between the two of them and said with a smile: "I am an amateur when it comes to cooking medicinal foods, but I still know a lot about how to use medicinal herbs. He did a good job with these two dishes. , the amount of Chinese medicine is just right.”
Liu Shaoxian heard this and echoed: "Indeed, his cooking skills are actually very powerful. It's not like cooking skills that a young man like him can master!"
Xiao Jiping was really surprised this time.
Liu Shaoxian is an expert who specializes in medicinal diet.
It's not easy to get a compliment from him.
Xiao Jiping asked with great interest: "Is it really so powerful?"
Liu Shao nodded: "Well, it is indeed very good."
As he said this, Liu Shaoxian's attitude became obviously more serious when he watched Fu Yu cooking medicinal food.
Don't tell me, this guy has something!
