After determining the specific dishes of the medicinal diet, Fu Yu already had a relatively comprehensive positioning and arrangement of the cooking operations in his mind.
After Zhang Zhen finished counting the existing ingredients and Chinese medicinal materials in the kitchen, he contacted the buyer to replenish the goods immediately.
Fu Yu then started to make preparations, preparing to cook a medicinal diet with relatively complete ingredients.
After working out the cooking order of several dishes, Fu Yu turned to Zhang Zhen and said: "Get ready to cook, Chef Zhang, send me a helper!"
After everyone in the kitchen heard this, they all became energetic and wanted to volunteer!
After all, this is a good opportunity to observe herbal cooking up close!
This kind of opportunity is rare, but it still depends on how chef Zhang Zhen arranges the candidates.
Previously, because the front and back kitchens received a large volume of orders and had many things to do, when Fu Yu was cooking herbal meals, Zhang Zhendu sent Zhou Yesong to help with the cooking.
But now that the New Year has just passed, it is the time of the Dan season, and things in the kitchen are in order. When they heard that Fu Yu was going to make medicated meals, not only the small workers, but also Chef Lin and Chef Liu looked eager to do so.
Aren't you just helping the kitchen?
At this time, there is no distinction between being in charge of the spoon and not being in charge of the spoon!
In areas that you are not good at, whoever is good at it will be the chef!
Hearing that Fu Yu was looking for someone to help him, Chef Lin quickly introduced himself and said, "I've just finished my work here. Xiao Fu, I'll come over and take a look. If you need anything, I'll do it."
Upon hearing this, Chef Liu hurriedly said: "Yes, I have made all the arrangements here, and I can also help."
Fu Yu was quite familiar with both of them. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's actually nothing. I just need to prepare food or help deliver something."
Chef Lin suddenly raised his brows. He had been impatient for a long time, and quickly responded with a smile: "No problem, I can't cook with medicinal food, but it's okay to help the cook."
Chef Liu smiled slightly and knew that Fu Yu was a good person and had no secrets at all. This man was indeed worth getting along with!
The few remaining chefs around who were eager to try were a little confused...
I have all kinds of feelings in my heart, it’s so complicated!
It's obviously just a job to help the kitchen, but when I didn't get it, I felt a little sour inside.
Especially Zhou Yesong, who had been working as a kitchen assistant, felt an unprecedented sense of loss!
After all, this opportunity is rare!
Others in the back kitchen watched with envy as the two chefs Le Dian Dian went over to prepare to become assistant cooks.
At this time, the difference between high and low positions is reflected.
When Chef Liu turned around, he almost couldn't hold back his joy.
This kind of good opportunity to learn cooking from the sidelines should be taken proactively. As for those who don't have face, this thing cannot be eaten.
Just throw it away, it doesn’t matter!
After all the preparations were ready, Fu Yu quickly started cooking in an orderly manner.
Compared with ordinary cooking, medicinal cooking is more complicated in terms of operation steps. Not only must the processing of ingredients be taken into consideration, but also the brewing preparation of medicinal materials, as well as the control of heat and taste.
Fu Yu stood in front of the kitchen counter and placed the ingredients and seasonings he needed within easy reach.
Chef Lin and Chef Liu stood on the left and right, one was responsible for passing the kitchen utensils, and the other was helping prepare the dishes.
No matter how easy the job in the kitchen is, there are still many things that a chef needs to do.
Zhang Zhen couldn't always follow and watch Fu Yu cook, but as long as he had time, he would pay attention to the situation here, mainly because he was curious about what medicinal food Fu Yu planned to cook today.
The person in charge of preparing food is still Zhou Yesong. In fact, it should be the laborer, but Chef Liu specifically ordered Zhou Yesong to do it.
The task of preparing food may seem simple and arduous, but in fact it tests the basic cooking skills of the workers.
No matter what dish, you need to prepare it before cooking.
When it comes to a dish, not only the chef in charge knows the ingredients needed, but also the assistant cook who is responsible for preparing the dishes knows it best.
The same is true for cooking medicated meals. First understand the specific ingredients required for a medicated meal, and then understand the processing methods of the ingredients. When cooking, as long as you learn all the operating procedures, you can easily complete the cooking of a medicated meal.
In fact, the cooking process is often similar, and it is nothing more than operations such as frying and frying.
It seemed like an inconspicuous task, but Chef Liu specifically assigned it to Zhou Yesong to complete.
Others may not know it, but Zhou Yesong himself understands it very well. This is a good learning opportunity.
You must know that the amount of ingredients used in cooking a dish is also very critical. Once you have mastered the specific ingredients needed, and then find an opportunity to learn how to cook herbal meals, you can not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also learn about some of the special characteristics of Chinese medicinal materials.
For example, some medicinal materials cannot be soaked in water in advance, some need to be ground, and some even need to be freshly processed before use.
And these, if you don't prepare the dishes yourself, you have no chance to learn, and you won't pay attention to the details at ordinary times.
Zhou Yesong has been with his master Chef Liu for more than two years, and he has always been grateful to his master!
Although Chef Liu seems to be simple and casual in his work, he doesn't compete or compete, and he always gives people the impression of being honest and honest, but in fact, this person is as smart as a fool, he doesn't say anything, but he knows everything in his heart.
No bad things can happen to him at all, but no good things can happen to him.
It can be seen that this man's city is deep, but he doesn't like to fight for it by nature, and he doesn't strive for success and gain.
It was an opportunity in life for Zhou Yesong to work under Chef Liu.
A person will always meet several noble people in his life. Zhang Zhen's noble man is his boss Yao Shi, while Zhou Yesong's noble man is his master Chef Liu.
These noble people will give you a certain amount of help at critical moments, and will also give you a push when opportunities come.
This may seem like a piece of cake, but it’s actually a big step forward in your life!
Because he was just preparing the dishes and did not need to cut them himself, Zhou Yesong only had to follow Fu Yu's arrangements and ask the workers to make preparations.
Zhou Yesong's basic skills are very solid and he is cautious and careful. After the workers have finished handling all the prepared dishes, he carefully inspects them one by one, and then he safely takes them to the kitchen table and hands them to Fu Yu for cooking.
Fu Yu had worked with Zhou Yesong before and knew that he worked meticulously, which made him feel very at ease.
All the preparations were completed, and Fu Yu started cooking the medicinal food!
The first is to make lamb bone porridge, pork lings soup, and kelp duck soup.
These three medicinal dishes are relatively time-consuming to cook. You can save a lot of time by taking care of the stewing first and then use this time to cook other medicinal dishes.
There are two soups and one porridge. It seems that the soup is more troublesome to cook, but in fact, it is the lamb bone porridge that takes the most effort.
Because unlike other ingredients, mutton bones have a unique smell. If you want to make this flavor delicious, you need to use the right seasonings during cooking and find ways to increase the flavor and freshness.
Similarly, the control of water consumption and heat also tests the chef's skills.
It is also very important to be able to properly stew the umami flavor of lamb bones and blend well with the taste of other ingredients.
Therefore, Fu Yu was very serious when cooking this medicinal meal and spent a lot of time searching for methods and tips for stewing lamb bones.
The cooking characteristic of mutton bone porridge is mainly mutton bones.
Fu Yu completely followed the relevant instructions on stewing mutton bones in the detailed cooking instructions for some soups.
He uses fresh lamb bones.
After washing, boil water in a pot under cold water to remove the blood foam, take it out and set aside.
Add warm water to the casserole, add the boiled mutton bones, and beat off the excess foam again after the water boils.
The trick to cooking this herbal dish is to break the mutton bones into pieces and add water to make the soup.
In Bei'an, this kind of mutton bone porridge is stewed from a whole large bone. The rice soup also has the flavor of mutton, but the tender texture and aroma unique to the bone marrow cannot be completely stewed. come out.
Crack all the mutton bones and decoct them into soup. The resulting soup will be rich in flavor and nutrients.
As a medicinal diet, you need to find a way to extract all the nutrients from all the ingredients and cook them together with the medicinal effects to achieve the conditioning effect.
Fu Yu smashed all the sheep bones into pieces. He did this step very carefully, and all the sheep bones were broken into fine pieces.
Then put the mutton bones into the casserole and add the tangerine peel.
To make this medicinal dish, the tangerine peel used is different from the ordinary tangerine peel used in daily life, and a layer of white skin inside needs to be removed.
Add galangal, grass fruit and ginger.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of salt, add water, and simmer over low heat until it becomes juice.
While the mutton bones were stewing, Fu Yu started cooking pork lings soup again.
The preparation of Zhuling soup is relatively simple.
Peel the Poria cocos, put it in a casserole, add water, add Poria cocos, Alisma and talc, and simmer over low heat.
After the Pork Polyporus Soup is cooked, it has a sweet taste and is actually not too unpleasant to drink.
But the problem is that Gao Shaoyuan can't eat Chinese medicine soup, so he definitely can't accept the taste.
Fu Yu had already considered this issue when he originally decided on this medicinal meal.
However, Zhuling soup has a miraculous effect on hair growth and nourishment. If you want to make this dish a medicinal meal, but you cannot change its taste, you can only find another way and find a way to solve this problem from other places.
Pork lettuce soup was boiling in the casserole, and while Fu Yu was busy cooking kelp and duck soup, the worker who was temporarily dispatched to buy frozen sage came back at a trot.
"Fu Chu, is this okay?" The worker handed the bag to Fu Yu and waited for him to check it.
Fu Yu opened the bag and took a look. It was full of red frozen sand fruits.
Frozen sand fruit is a specialty of Bei'an.
Whether it is bell fruit or large autumn fruit, no matter which variety of frozen sand fruit it is, it will make people shine. Their game flavor is still the same and will not be weakened by freezing. The familiar taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, and the haze in the heart Dispelled instantly.
What the worker bought was crabapple fruit, which is very common on the market. It tastes sour and sweet, and it feels like a smoothie when eaten frozen.
This stuff is sour and sweet at first, but after taking two bites, the icy sourness will spread directly from the tip of the tongue to the gums, making it impossible to taste anything.
It can be called a sour taste.
And this is what Fu Yu wants.
Zhou Yesong obeyed the order and handed over the frozen sand fruit to the workers to handle.
Fu Yu asked to peel and core them and grind them into smoothies.
The kelp and duck soup was also stewed, and Fu Yu hurriedly cooked the Atractylodes Poria Chicken.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease is "the essence of blood and the essence of kidneys" and is closely related to the spleen, stomach, liver and kidneys.
The liver stores blood. If the liver blood is sufficient, the hair will have sufficient blood supply.
The spleen governs transportation and transformation, and is responsible for transporting nutrients throughout the body, including hair.
The essence in the kidneys is the foundation of the human body. The growth of hair and the maintenance of health are closely related to the kidneys. Therefore, the growth of hair is closely related to the rise and fall of qi and blood in the internal organs, meridians and meridians.
This Atractylodes Poria Chicken dish is a medicinal diet specially designed to regulate the spleen and stomach.
Before cooking, Fu Yu first fried the barley in the ingredients.
Although barley removes dampness and diuretics, it is also a bit cold, so it needs to be fried to enhance the effect of removing dampness.
Cooking this dish is a soup that strengthens the spleen, clears heat, removes dampness, and dilutes water. In addition to various Chinese medicinal materials, chicken is also added to make it more moist.
If all the medicinal materials are cooked together, it will not be boring.
All medicinal materials must be soaked in advance to enhance the flavor.
Fortunately, the medicinal materials used in this dish have been brewed in advance and can be used directly after taking them out.
Heat hot water in a pot, add chicken and blanch it to remove impurities and dirt on the surface of the chicken.
Take out the blanched chicken and put it in a basin of clean water and run it through cold water.
Rinse the chicken with clean water and prepare the soup pot.
Fire up, turn up the heat as high as you can.
After the water boils, add the chicken and herbs.
Ginger slices, fried barley, soaked white lentils, and fresh Atractylodes macrocephala. After soaking, you will find that the Atractylodes macrocephala has become soft.
This way the flavor will come out faster and it will be easier to cook.
Add fresh Smilax cocos, cover the pot, increase the heat, and bring the soup to a boil.
After boiling, reduce to medium heat and simmer.
All the stewed medicinal foods were put on the stove, and it only took half an hour.
Fu Yu's hand speed is very fast when cooking, and his operating techniques are also very skillful. Especially the arrangement of each processing step is simply perfect, and every minute and second is used rationally.
And he is very careful and serious when cooking.
Because this is the guarantee of successful cooking and a key factor in achieving the most perfect taste of the dishes after stewing.
Everyone present knew that this seemingly simple operation was actually worth learning in the details. Naturally, everyone held their breath and observed carefully.
But no matter what, controlling the heat is one of his biggest advantages!
Because Fu Yu can easily control the heat, allowing the soup to be heated most perfectly during the cooking process.
At the same time, he can also accurately control the amount of water to ensure that the ingredients can reach the best ratio when stewing without adding a drop of water.
Because Fu Yu's eyes can clearly see the most suitable water level, and then add the amount of water according to the standards to ensure it is just right.
