Chapter 327 The Inheritor!(1/2)
Although the World Culinary Association competition is still two months away, it does need to be taken seriously.
Qiao Zhi occasionally develops some new dishes in the back kitchen.
It is not only to prepare for the competition, but also to supplement the canteen's dish library.
Everyone has their own ideals.
Some people want to be glamorous stars, some people want to be world-famous scientists, and some people want to be doctors who save lives and heal the wounded.
Qiao Zhi’s ideal is to be a chef who everyone praises.
A very small ideal, but it takes countless efforts.
Knife and spoon skills are not practiced overnight, but are made through years of hard work.
Of course, it is more important to be talent and love.
Talent lies in taste, in the use of knives, and in the sensitivity to fire.
Before cooking a dish, you can imagine the taste of the finished product in your mind. During the cooking process, you will also add a flash of inspiration, and eventually create a stunning masterpiece.
Not everyone can do this, it requires insight and talent.
For example, the sense of taste and smell, and the control of sauce.
A good chef does not make food according to the recipe, but based on his own experience and perception.
Perception is a mysterious state, and a slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of mistakes.
One point more or one point less, there is a big gap.
Qiao Zhi's talent is that he can grasp it to an extremely exquisite level from the very close distance.
The sense of layering and explosive points of food are controlled by a grain of salt, a grain of sugar, and a drop of oil.
My love for cooking lies in the influence of childhood.
In the eyes of many people, the kitchen is a very ordinary skill.
But Qiao Zhi regards it as the way of life.
Studying the color, fragrance and taste of food and observing the ups and downs of food is a joy of life.
Food can cure physiological trauma in the human body and heal the scars in the human mind.
The way to cook is also the way to enter the heart.
Complex and simple summary.
After Qiao Zhi likes others to taste the food he cooks, he sincerely praises him, "It's so delicious!"
In today's impetuous society, it is too difficult to hear someone's truth.
Using food can directly touch other people's inner kindness.
Qiao Zhi is a warm person, so his food can also bring warmth and comfort to others.
Seeing that Qiao Zhi had been busy for almost half an hour, he finally made the finished product.
Qiao Zhi smiled and said, "This dish is newly developed and is called 'The Golden Road of the Belt and Road'. Try the taste."
It sounds very nouveau riche, but it is actually fried hairtail.
However, the fish body was fried golden and crispy, which was indeed very different from the color of a normal chef.
Shen Xian picked up a piece of it with chopsticks and tasted it.
When you bite the mouth, you can hear the crisp "rustling" of teeth when they touch the cuticle skin.
Then a warm juice will fill your mouth.
It is hard to imagine that such a crisp hairtail can also have the effect of sausage.
"How to deal with hairtail?" Shen Xian couldn't help asking.
"Generally, hairtail fish will be dried. But I did not dry it, but baked it over high heat."
"In this way, can we lock the water vapor with fish gravy?"
It turns out that he is a chef, and he can understand it at a glance.
Qiao Zhi nodded, "This dish must choose live kelp fish and feed it with thirty-six hours of honey-containing sea water."
Shen Xian widened his eyes, "No wonder I can taste the aroma of honey from the fish. Why is it so complicated? In fact, you can achieve the same taste by marinating and seasoning."
Qiao Zhi tried a bite of hairtail and smiled and said, "Analysis. I am preparing for the World Cooking Exchange Conference."
Chen Xian touched his chin and pondered for a long time.
He asked weakly, "I deliberately let the ingredients show a sense of high quality?"
Qiao Zhi gave Chen Xian a thumbs up.
“Have the whole dish become more classy?”
Chen Xian said: "That's understandable. What the international stage tests is not only cooking skills, but also creativity and food choices. In fact, it is the East China Sea hairtail fish that is placed in sea water with a little honey for three days, but the grade is obviously different."
Qiao Zhi laughed, "You are telling the truth. However, the ingredients are indeed very particular. I am experimenting with whether to feed honey water or orange juice, the East China Sea hairtail fish made tastes even better."
"Then you make it quickly, I'll try it for you." Chen Xian said with a little excitement.
He has superb cooking skills and is also a person who has a pursuit of food.
Qiao Zhi's "Golden Road to the Belt and Road" really boosted Chen Xian's appetite.
Good food is a temptation for everyone.
Qiao Zhi picked out the hairtail that had been fed orange juice and started processing it.
Chen Xian observed the details of Qiao Zhi's handling of hairtails and couldn't help but praise him secretly.
The skin of hairtail and the inner membrane inside are the sources of fishy smell.
Scrape these two parts and need to be cleaned with a blade.
Meanwhile, Qiao Zhi left behind a silver substance attached to the surface of the hairtail.
Another silver film is called silver fat.
It is a natural, fishy and high-quality fat.
Very high nutritional value.
Hairdressing lives underwater, and this layer of silver fat is used by hairtail to maintain body temperature and resist the cold.
Silver fat contains unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin.
On the one hand, it has a significant effect on lowering cholesterol.
On the other hand, it can also have the effect of blackening hair and nourishing skin.
After about ten minutes, Qiao Zhi prepared the orange juice version of the "Belt and Road" for the Golden Road.
Chen Xian couldn't wait to eat a piece, and his tiny eyes seemed to grow bigger.
“It tastes really good.”
Compared with the honey version of the Golden Road in the Belt and Road, there is an extra sour and salty taste.
The sour taste is very good to cover up the salty and fishy smell of hairtail.
Bite the crispy outer skin to reveal the white and tender fish meat inside.
There is a slight sweetness in the sour taste.
What’s even more amazing is that you don’t have to worry about the wounds of fish bones.
Qiao Zhi had already picked out the fish bones, fried them until they were crispy, and made them into a fish bone mountain.
Chen Xian put the fish bones into his mouth, and the sound was crisp and crisp.
A faint smell of pepper and salt came out of the nasal cavity, and the fish bones were soaked that it was no more unpalatable than fish meat.
After biting it, the fish bone marrow in the middle seemed to have the smell of orange juice.
With a natural fish aroma and a crispy texture, it brings a second-level taste impact.
"This taste is absolutely amazing." Chen Xian exclaimed without hesitation, "No wonder he can only say that food cannot be disappointed."
“How does it taste like compared to the honey version?”
Qiao Zhi thought to himself that Chen Xian ate half in the blink of an eye and couldn't help asking.
"Each one has its own merits. I prefer the orange juice version. But I guess foreigners will like the honey version. Because foreigners will think that honey is more advanced."
Chen Xian also knows the psychology of customers very well.
"Well, then let's listen to you."
Qiao Zhi thought about a dish that he had been thinking about for several days.
He is highly recognized by Chen Xian, but he is still happy in his heart.
Chen Xian was also very impressed by Qiao Zhi's creativity. The "Belt and Road" uses hairtail as the main material, which corresponds to the "Belt and Road".
