Now it’s not just about presentation.
It involves a mold selection method to better shape the entire dish beautifully. After all, it is necessary to ensure that the ratio of tofu and fillings remains unchanged!
The amount of ingredients remains the same, but the styling needs to be breakthrough!
At the same time, you must plan and select the dinner plate to make the most perfect combination.
As a result, the selection of molds becomes 10% more difficult.
The idea is good, but the problem is how to choose the mold and how to change the shape?
Liu Yunong and Wang Yulong looked at each other and sighed. The idea was good, but it was difficult to implement it.
At this moment, Fu Yu suddenly said: "I want to try it."
After Liu Zhangpeng heard what Fu Yu said, his eyes widened: "Fu Chu, are you okay?"
Fu Yu nodded and said calmly: "There should be no problem."
Everyone was speechless!
Seeing Fu Yu's casual expression and tone, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Isn't this too confident?
However, if it were Fu Yu, maybe it would really work.
The person who came up with this idea was not only Liu Yunong, but also Wang Yulong with some obvious expectations.
Fu Yu stood in front of the kitchen counter, waiting for the waiter to bring the prepared dishes, and then started to prepare a spoon.
Liu Yunong took the initiative and said, "I'll help you."
Wang Yulong and Liu Zhangpeng also came closer and stood in front of the kitchen counter, ready to observe.
Fu Yu's cooking method is a complete replica of Wang Yulong's previous operation. Every step and every move is done exactly.
After the fillings were prepared, Fu Yu began to shape the tofu.
Fu Yu thought clearly that because the decision was too hasty, there would definitely be certain restrictions on the choice of molds.
There are a lot of molds in Shangshi Private Kitchen Restaurant, but Fu Yu looked around and found no suitable set of shapes.
Since the mold didn't work, Fu Yu simply hand-carved it.
Use tofu to make carvings.
For this skill operation, when he acquired the noodle carving skill before, he had looked through the classic recipes with great interest.
However, I only glanced at it at that time, and what impressed me deeply was the presentation of the carved tofu.
Thinking of this, Fu Yu quickly looked through it while selecting molds.
In fact, the skills of carving focus on knife skills, observation of daily life, and the clever use of color contrast.
Fu Yu happens to be good at these points.
He roughly determined the specific carving operation steps in his mind, and then began to make them.
Although the mold does not have a style that can be molded in one go, it can shape the outer contour.
Fu Yu first filled a bowl of water, then put the tofu directly into the bowl. He first used a mold to press out the shape, and then dug out the stamen position.
Next, pick up a small utility blade and cut along the stamen.
At this time, Fu Yu's fingers were like delicate instruments, separating the tofu bit by bit, operating as precisely as a computer, meticulous and without any errors.
Don't be careless during the entire carving process. If you are not careful, you will damage the final overall shape!
Therefore, we must be cautious, cautious, and cautious!
Fu Yu's operation can be called a sophisticated computer, with no errors at all.
Three layers of petals are completed in one go!
This set of carving operations made Liu Yunong and the others dumbfounded!
Speechless!
Isn't this awesome?
I can actually carve a peony flower out of tofu, it’s so powerful!
The three of them looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Fu Yu looked at the tofu pudding he carved and felt very satisfied.
Although it is the first time to do it, the effect is still very good. In fact, if you look closely, there are still some flaws. However, at first glance, it is quite shocking and looks very gorgeous and shocking.
However, this is just the beginning!
Fu Yu glanced at the others and smiled slightly, the fun is yet to come!
After the carving is done, the next step is filling.
Fu Yu stuffed the stuffing into the gaps between the petals. Because the ingredients used were shrimp, minced fat pork, and minced water chestnuts, and the color was very light, a thin layer of stuffing was evenly stuffed into each petal.
The overall look does not look bloated, and the pattern is still intact.
And Fu Yu's operation seemed to have become a precise art.
Incomparably precise stuffing, shaping, and hand weighing of ingredients. Just like the pre-set program, when the stuffed tofu pudding is put into the pot for sticking, there are almost no flaws!
The whole process was perfect!
The peony flowers carved from tofu are good, but the petals are too thin and can easily break at any time. When Fu Yu cooks them, he directly scoops them out with a flat spatula. After filling the fillings, he slides them into the pot with chopsticks. middle.
This approach can avoid damaging the shape of the tofu as much as possible, but the disadvantage is that the shovel retains water, and when the tofu is put into the pot, the hot oil suddenly crackles and splashes.
When Fu Yu was fishing for tofu, he had already deliberately lowered the sleeves of his chef's uniform and pulled it directly to the tiger's mouth.
The moment the tofu was put into the pot, he immediately clenched his hands into fists and covered the backs of his hands with his sleeves.
When the hot oil splashed, he was protected by the universal chef uniform and was not injured at all by the hot oil.
Liu Yunong saw that the tofu was about to be put into the oil pan with water, and he quickly raised the lid of the pot at hand to protect himself.
Wang Yulong was pulled back two steps by Liu Zhangpeng with quick eyes and hands, avoiding the splash of hot oil.
After all the pieces of tofu pudding have been put into the pot and the water has completely evaporated, the oil pot slowly calms down.
Fu Yu turned over at the right moment.
Because the carving was in the shape of a three-dimensional peony flower, Fu Yu directly used chopsticks to cushion it when turning it over. When attaching it, he tried hard to maintain the shape of the petals.
This step is actually very difficult because the tofu itself is very fragile, let alone the tofu slices carved into thin petals.
But Fu Yu has the blessing of omnipotent chopsticks, absolute control of heat, and extraordinary hand speed. For him, this difficulty is not a problem as long as he is careful.
So, the subsequent pasting operation became a cooking show!
Liu Yunong and others stared at Fu Yu with a keen eye. Their breathing began to become rapid unconsciously, and their heartbeats also accelerated.
Every step of Fu Yu's operation is carefully arranged. When pasting the tofu petals, try to stick only one side and try to paste all the petals evenly.
Time passes minute by minute.
Fu Yu stood upright and turned his wrist slightly.
The people around stood and watched without even daring to express their anger!
Fu Yu didn't look nervous at all, his face was calm, and his hand movements were particularly steady.
After Liu Yunong saw it, he had to sigh, this kid is really talented!
Wang Yulong, on the other hand, is very concerned. He is young after all, and his techniques are really stable!
At his age, it is impossible to resist aging even if he wants to. Apart from anything else, just in terms of technique, if he is asked to do such a delicate operation, it is impossible for his hands to not shake.
This does not depend on his personal ability, but on the degree of degradation of his body functions, which is simply not something that he can control according to his will.
Fu Yu's pasting operation went very quickly. The tofu was already very easy to cook, and now it was carved into a pattern. It was almost cooked on the bottom of the pot, and it was cooked immediately.
When all the tofu puddings are pasted, Fu Yu pours the fresh soup, Sanhua wine and sugar into the pot, covers the pot and heats it for a while before taking it out of the pot and serving it on a plate.
At this time, Liu Yunong and the others looked at the tofu cubes coming out of the pot.
Tofu flowers of the same size, as if copied and pasted, are placed equidistantly on the selected plate. The tofu petals are pasted and the edges of the petals are burnt yellow, while the cooked shrimp filling is red and dotted with white inside. The minced fat pork and minced water chestnuts are a gradient color with a strong three-dimensional effect.
At this time, Fu Yu cut the red pepper shreds again. He selected the ingredients very cleverly. The size of the red pepper shreds was just right to surround the edge of the petals. After a few rounds, it actually added a hint of the visual impact of the blooming peonies.
A peony tofu flower is already very beautiful. When several flowers are placed on the plate at the same time, the overall effect is simply a visual feast!
At this moment, everyone was stunned!
The look in Fu Yu's eyes was full of disbelief!
This is amazing!
Not to mention anything else, Fu Yu was already as good as anyone else present just in the preparation of this dish!
No!
Taking into account the design of the plate and the carving, it is even better than them.
This kind of creative thinking and practical ability is a level that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime.
However, Fu Yu did it.
Liu Zhangpeng looked at the improved Baihua Paste Tofu in front of him with a face full of disbelief, feeling shocked and confused in his heart!
He obviously cooks in the same kitchen almost every day, but when did Fu Yu make such amazing progress!
Regardless of cooking experience, if you just compare the techniques and operating details, is this even better than his master?
We can't blame Liu Zhangpeng for making such a fuss, we can only say that Fu Yu's strength is too strong.
Liu Zhangpeng had always known that Fu Yu was very capable and talented, but he never expected that he would improve so quickly.
As he watched, he was so shaken that he could no longer even see his shadow!
Liu Zhangpeng felt sad, while Wang Yulong exclaimed that it was wonderful!
Such a cooking operation is really rare!
I regret not being able to record it at the time, so I can replay it endlessly afterwards!
Liu Yunong's eyes lit up, and the business string in his mind twitched!
It seems that Baihua Tie Tofu from our own store can introduce innovative and improved dishes.
If it weren't for Fu Yu today, I might not want to keep the improved method of this dish. After all, their Liu family has many types of dishes, and this innovative dish is not lacking.
But now they are all members of the family, and they have no scruples at all when talking about this matter.
Liu Yunong planned to talk to Fu Yu about using the innovative cooking method of this dish in his own store when he went back in the evening.
Of course, the brothers settled the score clearly, and just because they were a family, Fu Yu couldn't be allowed to suffer.
She planned to give Fu Yu a generous bonus as a reward for innovative dishes.
Anyway, the money will be spent on my sister in the end.
She still knows how expensive it is for young couples to fall in love these days, especially since Fu Yu has such a good relationship with her sister.
She was very happy to see the two of them go out on a date and have some fun to deepen their relationship.
Fu Yu finished the final arrangement of the dishes and waited for Liu Yunong to take photos with his mobile phone. Then he tasted the innovative version of Baihua Tie Tofu that he had cooked.
It tasted just like he expected.
Because the petals are spread out after the tofu is carved, the flavor depends entirely on the fillings used as flower stamens to enhance the flavor.
He made each peony flower very delicately. An adult can eat one piece in one bite, and even a child can easily finish it in two bites.
In this way, you can eat it with the stamen part in your mouth without affecting the overall taste and texture of the dish.
After Wang Yulong tasted a piece, he couldn't help but look surprised.
The amount of filling is just right, and when paired with tofu, the taste is almost the same as the classic version.
And because of the shape of the petals, the taste is obviously much richer after being pasted.
While Wang Yulong praised it, he felt very emotional.
The improvements that I had failed to complete after spending so much effort were successfully completed by Fu Yu in such a short time.
He felt shocked at the same time, but also felt an indescribable feeling of gratitude.
Fu Yu helped him complete a regret that had been buried for many years!
For chefs, the satisfaction of being able to realize the dish innovation they have been dreaming about is no less than that of a sculptor who has created a favorite work.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Fu Yu with sigh.
You must treat him well.
To be honest, this kid will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.
Not to mention the fact that Liu Yunong is the master who protects him, just because he is in love with Liu Yuqing, it is basically a certainty that he will become the heir to the Liu family in the future.
Being able to have a good relationship with Fu Yu is also directly related to his future development and future.
You must know that Liu Yunong is now developing the company better and better, opening more and more branches, and the old people from the main store are gradually being assigned to take charge of the branches.
It is also a branch, but there are differences between stores in provincial capitals and branches in cities. Wang Yulong is 57 years old this year, and in the kitchen, he has to retire when he is over 60 years old at most.
If after retirement, he could be transferred back to the main store to serve as a kitchen instructor and be responsible for training new apprentices, this is what all old masters most look forward to and want to do.
After all, modern people are still in strong health when they are 60 years old, and they have not reached the time when the old, weak, sick and disabled need to retire and take care of themselves.
Now is a critical period for Wang Yulong. He has no choice but to work hard for three more years and accumulate a certain amount of experience before he can hand over the management of the branch to Liu Zhangpeng, while he can return to the main store to recruit apprentices.
Wang Yulong looked at Fu Yu, smiled and praised: "This improved dish you made is so good!"
Liu Yunong also said happily: "It is indeed very good! Very good!"
At this time, Liu Zhangpeng suddenly said: "Fu Chu, you have really improved this dish very well. Both the shape and the taste are innovative and just right. As soon as you made it, the price of this dish has been raised!" Let me tell you, this dish can be directly included in our store’s menu for promotion in the future.” (End of Chapter)
