'eternal...'
'Can something like this be displayed through cooking? '
With the passage of time, Lei Qian lost too many things, including companions, fellow travelers, and even his closest sister.
It was at that moment that she understood that time is something that breaks bonds, and only eternity can keep everything.
This also allowed her to build a country that would remain unchanged for thousands of years, the 'Rice Wife'!
But looking at Lei Qianqiu who was busy in the kitchen with confidence, she felt a little confused again.
Because a god from another world seemed to want to prove that her choice was wrong.
Thinking of the faint traces of decay and the people who were constantly resisting in Rice Wife, she was a little puzzled. Why would there be people who would reject eternal change and happiness that would not pass away?
At this moment, a seed of doubt fell in her heart and entered the pure land of her heart!
...
'Cook, extract, blend...'
Zhao Fuyu looked at the steaming soup pot, put all the blanched ingredients into it, and finally took a breath.
The cooking time of each ingredient is different, but for a short period of time, just wait for the time.
After adjusting the heat and no action was needed for the time being, he turned and looked to the other side. Those were the ingredients he was going to deal with next.
All kinds of eggs!
Aged eggs and preserved eggs are actually the same type. They are both egg dishes formed with alkali, but one uses eggs and the other uses duck eggs.
Zhao Fuyu naturally chooses ingredients that are of excellent quality and have a yellowish center.
As soon as the two kinds of preserved eggs were opened, the alkaline smell spread.
But these two kinds of eggs are the most natural ingredients for freshness, and they are also destined to become the most solid ingredient base, the first to be integrated with glutinous rice!
I saw Zhao Fuyu mixing the soaked glutinous rice with two kinds of eggs, constantly crushing the two eggs with his hands, and then put the glutinous rice directly into the steamer and started steaming over high heat.
Then watch Zhao Fuyu take out all the other eggs.
Fresh eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, snake eggs, and the most special salted duck eggs are prepared ingredients.
Soon all kinds of eggs were placed in a bowl separately.
The salted duck eggs occupy two bowls, and the egg white and egg yolk are packed separately.
To complete this ever-changing egg dish, the first thing to achieve is the harmony and unity of flavors while reflecting the various differences.
This requires careful seasoning. Zhao Fuyu chose to use the egg white of salted duck eggs instead of ordinary salt. Of course, it is not as simple as just using egg whites directly, and some processing methods are needed.
This 'seven-fold neon egg' takes the flavor of constant change and endless birth, like rebirth and nirvana, and immortality.
The egg is the main axis, but besides the egg, the key to carrying the egg flavor lies in the glutinous rice.
This is why Zhao Fuyu’s first step is to deal with the glutinous rice.
Any dish requires ingredients that match the main theme. It is entirely an egg dish. Without surprising and connected flavors, it is impossible to form a complex taste to achieve a harmonious and unified taste experience.
After the salted duck eggs were processed separately, what Zhao Fuyu did next was very simple.
Eggs are tender and smooth, and the yolk has a special sweetness when it is half-cooked. When the egg white is cooked, it will form a chewy texture. Cooking with eggs is very suitable for the half-cooked yolk state.
At this time, the egg protein will not have an overly elastic texture.
Zhao Fuyu uses the poached egg method, which is actually not complicated. The water pot is deeper and a little white vinegar is added to the water to help the protein molecules coagulate.
Then stir the boiling water slightly, put the beaten eggs into the middle of the whirlpool, then turn the heat to medium-low and simmer for two to three minutes.
When the surface layer is completely solidified, a poached egg with a white surface and a soft and runny interior is completed.
And this is just the second layer of food placed in the seven-layered neon egg. In fact, the seven-layered neon egg is a fusion of egg dishes, and Zhao Fuyu does not just use poultry eggs.
There are also ingredients such as mullet roe and ant eggs.
Duck eggs, goose eggs, chicken eggs are just some of them.
For example, for the top section of the top layer, Zhao Fuyu planned to steam snake eggs with ant eggs to make the top part and create a yellow color.
Next, grill the whole piece of mullet roe over fire, soak the dried and pickled mullet roe thoroughly in sake, and then take out the spray gun and grill it directly.
However, it was difficult for ordinary spray guns to achieve the effect Zhao Fuyu wanted. He also added a little more material to the fire, which raised the temperature faster and higher.
Almost as soon as the flames passed, burnt marks were left on the orange-yellow mullet roe, and then the fat that had been revealed from the mullet roe after being marinated and dried exploded.
The sound of 'cracking' kept coming.
An aroma carrying fish oil and burnt oil spiraled up.
It also attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
...
'There are so many unfamiliar ingredients...'
'What exactly is the Buyeo store manager planning to do? '
After Tanjiro Kamado raised his head and wiped out most of the Gunzan Udon noodles, he looked towards the kitchen. Although he was half full, he had to say that the strange aroma was indeed very attractive.
It can be said that only now, as a young man, has he understood the beauty of cooking.
Orochimaru, who was closely related to this dish, noticed this even more.
'This kind of thing...'
'Is it fish roe? By the way, fish roe is also considered an egg!'
In their world, no chef has ever expanded the range of eggs to such a wide range. It can be said that Orochimaru is also looking forward to it now.
Not only for the path to eternal life, he also wants to try it now to see what kind of sparks can be produced when these 'egg' dishes are combined together!
...
The origin of eggs is different, and the natural taste will also have strange changes.
After the grilled mullet roe was blackened, Zhao Fuyu used a sharp knife to scrape off the outer black film and the film wrapping the mullet roe. What was left was the increasingly orange and crystal clear fish. seed.
At this time, cut them into pieces, slice them with a green garlic and white diagonal knife, add a piece of pear, overlap and mix them like this, and a plate of mullet roe is completed.
Leave it like this to let the mullet roe absorb the aroma of green garlic and the sweetness of pear, and then come the fried duck eggs.
Fried duck eggs are not complicated. Add onions, celery, green peppers, coriander, and parsley, then order some salted egg whites and fry them into a green scrambled egg.
Only the rich and mellow aroma of duck eggs can be combined with so many strong-flavored vegetables to form a special scrambled egg.
Goose eggs need to be braised, but it is not brine like soy sauce or white brine. Instead, a variety of Chinese medicinal materials are used with red yeast rice noodles to form a unique red brine.
This kind of brine is rosy in color and does not show the color of ordinary brine at all. At the same time, it cannot be boiled directly.
The goose eggs need to be boiled until they are just cooked, peeled and served with red brine soup and chili oil, then placed in the refrigerator and left to rest for more than four hours.
Only in this way can we get the braised goose eggs that are extremely red and reveal the aroma of braised goose eggs and spicy oil. This is also the source of the red color and spiciness of the seven-layer neon eggs.
