Chapter 1247 The Best Support
As the fish soup in the pot continued to simmer, several side dishes were all successfully put into the pot.
In fact, in He Di's previous operations, this process only required adding ingredients in three batches.
This time, he followed the order given by Fu Yu and put several side dishes into the pot in order. While adding ingredients, he was thinking about the tricks of sorting each ingredient in his mind.
This was a detail that he would never pay attention to in his previous cooking operations.
For example, when mushrooms are put into the soup pot, they are usually put in order of thickness, but when it comes to Fu Yu, they are put in order according to the degree of resistance to stewing.
This refinement and precision of cooking ingredients has invisibly increased the difficulty of cooking.
And it has significantly prolonged the cooking time.
At least that's what He Di thought at the beginning of cooking.
As a result, after all the side dishes were put into the pot for stewing, He Di realized that in fact, this method of putting the ingredients in order according to the degree of ease of cooking did not waste time, but shortened the cooking time.
Watching He Di complete the cooking operation step by step, He Jie and He Dongxiang in the conference room both breathed a sigh of relief!
With their level, they had already seen that He Di's level of control over the heat was really amazing!
However, He Jie knew that this was because of Fu Yu's example, and He Di was just following suit. Of course, he himself was also very good at cooking.
In He Dongxiang's opinion, it was a bit surprising!
He Di's cooking level was very clear to him. When he tasted this soup before, his skills in controlling the heat were far from this level. Now it was considered a leap forward!
The improvement in the cooking operation of this soup seemed to be a simple removal of the fish meat, but in fact, it affected the whole body!
It was almost a new way to cook a new soup!
Is it difficult?
It is very difficult!
But the effect will be very good!
When making soup, after the ingredients are stewed, all the freshness is often integrated into the soup, and the taste of the ingredients themselves is much inferior.
Instead of doing this, can we minimize the heat and time of stewing?
This is a cooking concept!
Keep the freshness of the ingredients as much as possible, and cook the soup to the best taste.
Cooking continues!
While waiting for the stewing heat, He Di dared not relax at all. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to start cooking other dishes or doing other things.
The stew pot is on the stove and simmering on a low fire. Basically, there is no need to pay attention to it during this period.
But He Di did not do this. After all the ingredients were added to the pot, he began to carefully observe the hot steam coming out of the edge of the pot.
Since he knew He Di's background and was specifically reminded by He Jie, Fu Yu attached great importance to this time's help kitchen guidance.
He did not intend to hide his cooking tips.
Fu Yu had already planned how to guide the cooking operation of this soup and the key steps of detail processing.
From the beginning of the fish removal operation, Fu Yu had figured out which step to remind and which detail needed special guidance.
At this time, taking advantage of the free time of stewing in the pot, Fu Yu directly taught He Di how to judge the state and degree of doneness of the ingredients in the pot by observing the concentration of the heat.
He Di, who had already completed most of the cooking, almost failed to keep up with Fu Yu's instruction rhythm!
At this time, everyone in the conference room was silent.
They stared at the big screen in amazement, and He Di bent over to look at the hot steam coming out of the edge of the pot.
Fu Yu stood beside him and gave instructions from time to time.
For a moment, everyone was confused and didn't understand what Fu Yu was doing?
He Dongxiang listened to Fu Yu instructing He Di to observe the concentration of heat, and his expression slowly changed from surprise to surprise.
He found that Fu Yu was really guiding the cooking operation seriously, and even taught him some details of the processing tips.
The normal stewing process is to adjust the heat, check the doneness of the ingredients, and judge the specific cooking time according to the remaining soup.
But Fu Yu didn't even open the lid to check the ingredients in the pot. How could he accurately judge the degree of stewing of the ingredients?
This operation stunned He Dongxiang.
What was he thinking?
At this time, he recalled that before He Di really stewed, he adjusted the order of several side dishes. It was obviously completed in two steps, but it was divided into several steps according to the types of side dishes.
This was prepared from the beginning!
And these changes in operating habits should be conscious changes under the guidance of Fu Yu.
He Dongxiang took a deep breath. He didn't expect that after the cooking improvement of this innovative soup, the operation process, difficulty, and control of detail processing had obviously changed.
He Dongxiang had clearly seen the whole cooking process of this soup before, but at the moment, he couldn't even think of what He Di would do next under the guidance of Fu Yu.
In the display area, He Di carefully observed the state of the heat while exchanging cooking experience with Fu Yu.
As time passed, it was time to check the status of the ingredients in the pot according to the estimated cooking time.
However, everyone found that Fu Yu and He Di were chatting enthusiastically. Although the topic was about the cooking techniques of the fish soup in front of them, no one adjusted the heat or checked the stewing status in the pot.
He Jie and Dong Zhanlong were both worried at the same time!
In fact, during Fu Yu's previous cooking demonstration, he didn't seem to check the ingredients in the pot.
But Fu Yu was the chef at that time, which made He Jie and Lu Zhanlong feel very relieved.
But now, the person in charge of cooking is He Di, and Fu Yu is just assisting and guiding.
This makes people feel a little uneasy.
On the big screen in the conference room, He Di, who seemed very leisurely, was actually sweating profusely!
He silently raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, focusing on observing the steaming hot air, and his heart was under great pressure.
Fu Yu said it in detail, and he felt that he understood it.
But he really asked him to judge the degree of cooking of the ingredients by observing the state of the hot air.
He couldn't do it.
The hot air coming out of the edge of the pot has always been like this, and there is no change?
The aroma of the fish soup is getting stronger and stronger, very nice and fresh.
However, half a day has passed, is the soup in this pot almost cooked?
He Di was worried. In fact, he wanted to open the lid of the pot and take a look, but Fu Yu just said that he should judge whether to stop the fire by the state of the heat.
Don't open the lid, just turn off the fire.
What if the fish soup is stewed for a long time?
He Di was sweating anxiously, but Fu Yu had already said it, and he couldn't refute it directly.
He could only look at the heat that didn't change much and pray in his heart, turn off the fire quickly, it should be almost done!
On the other hand, Fu Yu was so calm, with a calm face!
It was basically not difficult for Fu Yu to judge the doneness of the ingredients in the pot by the state of the heat.
And the people in the conference room were already a little restless at this time.
Even if they were not at the cooking site, but just watched through the video, they could judge that the fish soup in the pot was almost done with their experience.
At least at this time, you need to open the lid of the pot to check the stewing situation, and then start seasoning and turn off the fire, or continue stewing. At least you have to take a look at the degree of cooking of the ingredients to make an accurate judgment.
Like judging the doneness of the ingredients in the pot by the state of heat, isn't this the same as taking things from a distance?
Unlike other people who were making a fuss, He Dongxiang stared at the big screen, unconsciously straightened his back, and focused on watching He Di and Fu Yu's operation.
Because he was too focused, he could even hear his heartbeat starting to get intense because of excitement.
He was really a little surprised!
He Dongxiang has been in the food circle for decades and is considered to be successful.
To reach this level, on the one hand, he has outstanding personal abilities and is good at dancing with long sleeves, and on the other hand, his cooking skills are indeed superb, and he is very good in this regard.
And after studying cooking for so many years, he has never thought of such a cooking method, unheard of and unseen!
Without opening the lid of the pot, the hot steam is kept in a state of steaming, and the doneness of the ingredients in the pot is judged only by the degree of heat.
On the one hand, this can reduce the cooking time and preserve the pot gas, and on the other hand, it can free up more time to do other things.
This cooking method saves cooking time to the greatest extent. For the work of cooking in the back kitchen, it greatly reduces the slow serving speed caused by the cooking time.
This is a new direction!
Even a brand new cooking concept!
He Dongxiang had never thought about this before. Now seeing Fu Yu's operation, he immediately thought of another possibility.
He was not surprised by what he got and gained, but the entire food circle.
He Dongxiang suddenly had an idea. If this method of judging the doneness of the ingredients in the pot by the state of heat is indeed feasible, then this cooking method is likely to become a mainstream!
He Dongxiang has a deep cooking experience and his vision is naturally extraordinary.
He has a lot of ideas and a very active mind.
At this time, he stared at the big screen, thinking about opening the lid of the pot to directly observe the doneness of the ingredients, but judging the state of heat by the state of heat.
So how should the state of heat be systematically defined!
Will the speed of evaporation of the soup in the pot affect the state of heat?
How to judge this?
Do you think human eyes are instruments for judging concentration?
This must be a superpower, right?
In the exhibition area, He Di was still concentrating on the state of the heat, while Fu Yu stood beside him without saying a word.
He Dongxiang looked at this incredible scene, but he was no longer interested.
After Fu Yu's guidance, every step of He Di's operation lingered in his mind like a spell, and could not be dispelled for a long time!
Let alone watching and not really cooking, it is impossible to master the core operation.
This unheard-of cooking skill, He Dongxiang would not easily try it in such an occasion anyway.
Are the younger generations in the circle so powerful now?
It has been less than three years since He Dongxiang retired, and he feels that he has begun to derail the development of the food circle.
He sighed deeply, and his mood was very complicated for a while.
Seeing this, Hao Liangjun couldn't help but whispered: "He Chef, are you okay?"
He Dongxiang shook his head: "Nothing."
After that, he continued to look at the big screen and silently sorted out his emotions.
In fact, even though he had retired for several years, he had not been able to adjust his mentality. He always felt that his ambitions had not been fully realized. He was currently in the best state with rich experience and excellent ability, but because of his age, he had to retire and give up his position to a younger junior.
He was very unwilling to accept this, thinking that the newcomers were far inferior to him in terms of ability, experience and professional level.
Thinking of his previous arrogance, He Dongxiang suddenly realized that he was too ignorant.
Since he became the president of the Food Association, he has lived too comfortably, perhaps he has forgotten what it feels like to be crushed by strength?
In the display area, He Di was trying hard to observe the difference in the state of the heat, and suddenly heard Fu Yu remind him: "It's time to season."
He Di was stunned, and hurriedly stood up and lifted the lid of the pot. He didn't bother to check the state of the ingredients in the pot, and hurriedly started the seasoning operation.
After a series of operations were completed, the full heat when the lid was first lifted had dissipated, and only then could the appearance of the ingredients in the pot be seen clearly.
He Di was stunned when he saw this!
With his many years of cooking experience, he could intuitively judge that the fish soup in the pot was just right, and the cooking degree of the side dishes in it was very good even without tasting it.
Fu Yu saw that He Di was still after adjusting the taste, so he had to remind him again: "You can turn off the fire and serve the soup."
He Di did exactly as he was told, and his mind was blank at this time.
Even though he just listened to Fu Yu's guidance and tried a new cooking operation, he was skeptical about judging the doneness of the ingredients in the pot by the state of heat. Until now
He Di finally understood how ignorant he was!
He quickly turned off the fire and served the fish soup.
Looking at the thick, white and delicious fish soup in the bowl, He Di couldn't help asking: "Chef Fu, you just judged that it was time to season it directly by the state of the heat?"
Fu Yu replied casually: "Yes, the concentration of the heat was obviously too high just now, which means that the ingredients have reached the best state of doneness."
After answering, Fu Yu reacted and asked: "Didn't you see the change?"
He Di couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Chef Fu, to be honest, I really didn't see it at all."
"My operation of controlling the heat was completely dependent on your command, and I observed for a long time, but I really couldn't understand the concentration point you mentioned."
"Now I understand why President He asked you to come here to help guide the cooking just now"
He Di has deeply realized that if he relies on himself to cook independently, with his current state, this innovative soup has no chance of passing the review. (End of this chapter)
