Chapter 1887 You Take a Closer Look
Latest website: To be honest, Yuanzhou was a little worried about Chef Yang’s physical strength as a small banquet came inside a big banquet.
Twenty-seven dishes were prepared for this banquet. There were many big dishes, such as jade millet, mandarin fish, emerald skirt, red plum and pearl incense, etc. Many of them were imperial dishes. Yuanzhou had seen the appearance of imperial dishes. .
Although there are a lot of dishes, Chef Sheep controls the quantity very well. Considering that all the people here are elderly chefs, one dish is basically enough for two or three mouths per person. Twenty-seven is just right.
Soon the dishes were served slowly like running water. Occasionally, Mr. Ma would tell Chef Yuan Zhou Lao Laoyang about his unique approach to a certain dish.
Of course, he was mostly talking about Beijing cuisine. After all, Mr. Ma knew that Yuanzhou's Cantonese cuisine had reached its peak.
Of course, this is also because Mr. Ma hasn't eaten Yuanzhou's Cantonese food for a long time, otherwise he would find that there is actually a step further to the top, two steps, and Yuanzhou is moving in this direction.
If you have a good beginning, you must also have a perfect ending. Just like writing an article, you always pay attention to the tiger head, leopard tail, pig belly, and the ending must be beautiful and powerful.
So as the penultimate dish of the banquet, it is the finale dish - Shazhou Tacui, Chef Sheep's specialty.
"Is it time for Old Sheep to become his specialty?" Old Man Ge has been thinking about it.
"It takes time for a sand boat to step on the green. Didn't you see the old sheep being stewed before?" Mo Yuchu said.
"I'm still looking forward to it." Mr. Ma also spoke, obviously having high expectations for this dish.
Yuan Zhou, who has a lot of knowledge in cooking, can naturally react instantly. Sha Zhou Ta Cui is a famous dish included in the Manchu and Han banquets. He wants to see the live version.
The camel paw he saw earlier was not big, and the hair on it weighed only about three pounds. Moreover, he knew the basic method of sand boat treading green, and it had to be boned, so it would be even lighter.
While Yuan Zhou was thinking about it, Chef Yang came in with a big plate and said with a smile: "Shazhou Tacui is here, you eat slowly." After saying that, he put down the plate and continued to finish. The last dish.
On a large snow-white plate, there is a circle of green broccoli on the outside, as if it is raw. Only the stalks that are slightly darker than usual can tell that they are cooked. The rich red sauce is drizzled inside, and occasionally you can see snow-white flakes. things.
"Use your chopsticks.
"Mr. Ma said and took a piece of it.
The other chefs were naturally rude and used their chopsticks, followed closely by Yuan Zhou.
With Yuan Zhou's eyesight, he can naturally distinguish the almost white magnolia slices and camel palm slices. After all, the shapes are not the same, even though Chef Sheep has tried his best to make the two similar.
Of course, there are not many people with such eyesight. The only ones on the table are Mr. Ma, Ge Yuchu and Mo Yuchu, and Yuan Zhou.
Yuanzhou could feel the chewy texture when he entered a piece of camel paw. Even though it was such a thin piece, it was very chewy and could be chewed.
Camel paw is rich in protein. In addition to the chewy texture at the beginning, it has a waxy aroma and a little sweetness, giving it a unique taste.
"Hey, Lao Yang has made some changes, is it a little different?" Ge Yuchu spoke first, frowning and thinking.
"The camel palm slices are glutinous and chewy, but they are a little different..." Mo Yuchu was also tasting it.
Ge Yuchu added: "I have tried hard, but I still can't eat it for a while."
You taste.
You taste carefully.
Neither Gemo, who was from the royal chef family, could taste it, let alone others, so they all shook their heads.
Then all eyes were focused on Mr. Ma. If the Yang family is the head of the four royal chef families, then Mr. Ma is the successor to this generation of best cooks, so he should be able to tell.
"I also like this dish very much. It's not inferior to the standard." Mr. Ma praised, and then said confidently: "I don't know about the little thoughts of the old sheep..."
This big gasp almost choked everyone present. I don’t know, I don’t know why I look so confident?
Mr. Ma said: "Although he says he doesn't know, Xiao Yuan definitely has an idea."
Mo Yuchu, Ge Yuchu and others frowned. Mr. Ma is very difficult to deal with. Chef Yang said before that this was the first time he met Yuan Zhou, which meant that Yuan Zhou had never tasted Chef Yang’s specialty. vegetable.
If you haven’t eaten it before, how can you tell the difference between eating it now and before?
This is no longer a matter of cooking skills. Is it possible that Yuan Zhou is still calculating?
Of course, Ge Yuchu and Mo Yuchu did not speak, because after all, Yuanzhou was brought by Mr. Ma, and it was not easy for them to speak.
The sand boat stepping on the green sounds very high-end, but in fact it is also very high-end. First of all, the material is camel paw. I have to admit that camel paw is much more difficult to cook than camel hump.
It needs to be boiled first, then mixed with magnolia slices and stir-fried, and finally stir-fried and topped with chicken juice. The process is still so complicated.
Yuanzhou ate two chopsticks, one chopstick of camel meat and one chopstick of magnolia slices.
"I think, on the one hand, we use winter bamboo shoots as the raw material to make magnolia slices." Yuan Zhou said.
Magnolia slices are actually dried bamboo shoots. They vary from region to region, so they can be made with both winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots. However, Shazhou Tacui uses spring bamboo shoots. Spring bamboo shoots are suitable for making soup. Spring bamboo shoots are used in almost all palace cuisines, because spring bamboo shoots are a kind of mountain bamboo shoots. Bazhen.
So when Yuan Zhou finished saying this, Ge Yuchu and Mo Yuchu smiled appreciatively.
"There is very little difference between spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots when made into magnolia slices. Chef Yuan can eat both. He is really talented." Ge Yuchu said: "Yes, winter bamboo shoots replace spring bamboo shoots, which is an improvement on Lao Yang. Winter bamboo shoots are easier to store, and winter bamboo shoots are easier to store." The prepared magnolia slices become more resilient after being stir-fried in water."
The first time I ate it, I could see the improvements made by Chef Yang. In addition, the previous taste was spot on. Chef Ge felt that the young famous chef in front of him was really extraordinary.
"Just now you said number one, is there number two?" Mo Yuchu noticed this.
"Every effort of the chef will be seen by others." Yuan Zhou said: "I don't know the second point. Is it the difference between Mr. Ma, Mr. Ge and Mr. Mo? But Chef Yang's other intention is the chicken sauce. .”
"Chicken juice?"
The chefs present were all famous chefs, so when they heard the words, they immediately understood and seemed to have thought of something.
"Camel paws were cooked with chicken soup at first, but this time Chef Sheep added pigeons." Yuan Zhou said firmly: "The three kinds of meat, pigeons, chickens, and camel paws, have reached an amazing harmony. You can imagine Chef Sheep is After a lot of hours of cooking experimentation.”
"Yes, it's a pigeon."
"What kind of method is using pigeons and chickens to make soup at the same time? Chef Yang is really brave."
"I didn't expect that Lao Yang's specialty dish could be improved. It has not stopped at all."
There was a lot of discussion, but Chef Wang of Zhejiang Cuisine got to the point with one sentence: "Chef Sheep is unique, but Chef Yuan, you have a lot of knowledge about the Manchu-Han Banquet?"
That’s right, even though I have never tasted Chef Sheep’s cooking before, I can taste both the first improvement and the second improvement in an instant. This is too exaggerated!
