Chapter 285 Mild and Thick Taste

   One big carp.

   Rapeseed Oil.

  Licorice, American Ginseng, Pineapple, Corn Flour, Egg White.

Salt.

   Several materials were mentioned by Xu Guangling and Zhang Lao when they were in the park in the morning, and they were all ready at this time.

  Xu Guangling can also buy it himself, but he really can’t spare any time now. In addition, the quality he bought from the market is definitely not as good as the one provided by Zhang Lao, so there is no need to worry about this.

   Elder Zhang, Elder Chen, and the two elders all watched Xu Guangling operate with great interest.

   Chen Zhihe and Mr. Zhou's grandparents stayed in the living room. Zhou Qingzhu had a needle in his body now. It was just right when Xu Guangling finished the meal.

  The sliced ​​licorice and American ginseng sliced ​​into thin transparent slices are slightly fried in 80 degree rapeseed oil.

   The colander in Xu Guangling's hand was spinning, from slow to fast, and then stabilized after a certain speed, just like an automatic mixer.

This is like a fixed procedure, it does not consume Xu Guangling's mind, and when doing this step, Xu Guangling explained to the two old people: "There are two kinds of food, one is mild and nourishing, and the other is sexual and second. The taste is very strong, and it stimulates the taste buds with many strong flavors such as sour, spicy, salty and so on.”

   "Today, I just want to reconcile the two a little bit, and make a dish that is based on sweetness and nourishment, but at the same time has a strong taste."

   "This is also the first time this disciple has tried, so we will have to wait until it is done."

   Both old men nodded.

Not to mention Mr. Zhang, it is Mr. Chen. His understanding of medicinal materials and medicinal properties can actually completely abuse many so-called "pharmacists", so when Xu Guangling was talking about these materials in the morning, he had already judged out what he planned.

  Licorice, American ginseng, all are soft and nourishing.

  I use American ginseng instead of ginseng, especially when I talked about ginseng a few days ago. Obviously, in addition to the consideration of medicinal properties, Xu Guangling's more consideration is the taste of American ginseng.

   American ginseng, sweet, bitter and astringent, of which, about 30% sweet, 40% bitter, and 30% astringent.

  Licorice, also known as honey grass, from this name you know what it probably tastes like.

   After stirring for about three minutes, Xu Guangling stopped and let the licorice and American ginseng still fry in the oil, while he freed his hands to start processing the fish.

   This step is not much to say.

This is the first time Xu Guangling has handled fish in almost half a year, and he has handled the fish with a fancy knife that he has never done before. But now Xu Guangling, to be honest, with a kitchen knife in his hand, it is like extension of the hand.

   Swish. Swish.

   is a quick one.

   Then steady, then accurate.

   is crisp and neat, like running water.

   This whole action was handled, and Mr. Chen even saw his eyes glow, and then he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Mr. Zhang.

  After the flower knife was finished, Xu Guangling put the fish body and head into the still hot oil, and at the same time, added fine salt.

   After finishing this, Xu Guangling took out his hand again, extracted the juice from the pineapple, and mixed the corn flour with the egg white into a paste.

  After the paste is prepared, take out the fish and add the paste.

  Replace the oil, American ginseng and licorice slices, re-pour in clean rapeseed oil, heat directly to 180 degrees, add the fish, fry for about two minutes, and serve.

   There is no follow-up action.

   That’s it, the dish is done.

   This is a very informal "squirrel fish", but in fact, there is no such thing as formal and informal.

After being fried, the thin corn batter has a transparent yellowish color. Together with the fish, it is slightly crispy. It seems that the crispy shell can be broken with a touch of chopsticks. Therefore, it looks like , which makes people have an urge to break it.

  Simply put, in terms of the color, aroma, and flavor of the dishes, this dish made by Xu Guangling is qualified in terms of "color" alone.

   Or, it can barely be called excellent.

   And this is excellent, one comes from the knife work, the second comes from the handling of the paste, and the third is the grasp of frying.

   One step to heaven, one step to hell.

  In the cooking of gourmet, that is actually the case. - For a skilled chef, there is no such thing as "almost".

   is about the same, just a lot worse.

   is a miss, a thousand miles.

Even the simplest process of boiling oyster mushrooms with salt, just water, mushrooms, and salt, is an extremely simple process, but some people can cook it fresh and delicious, while others can cook it well. Nothing but salty taste.

   And the difference between the two may only be a few seconds of heat.

  Acupuncture requires the hands-on teaching of the teacher.

   In Xu Guangling's view, the same is true of cooking.

   And if you try to figure it out by yourself, it requires a lot of talent, and too many attempts.

able to do.

   Well done.

well done.

   is simply awesome.

   Between these levels, the ladder is too large, and most chefs may only stop at the second level and "did a good job".

  Acupuncture, Xu Guangling has the hands-on teaching of Zhang veteran.

   But cooking, no.

   However, without a teacher, it is better to have a teacher.

   At this point, he is actually the one who opened the hook. Whether it is the acquisition in a dream, the Shennong Art, or even just his current skill, he can easily pass the first two levels in the cooking, and go straight to the third and fourth levels. .

According to Xu Guangling's self-evaluation, the hodgepodge dish before    can reach the fourth level.

   And today's squirrel fish, Xu Guangling reluctantly gave himself the third level, in fact, it is more strict, it should be between the second level and the third level.

   After all, this is the first attempt.

   Several steps or details can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

   There is still a lot of room for fine-tuning.

  The rice was steamed early. I don’t know if it was written by Zhang Lao or Chen Lao or Chen Zhihe, but the theme tonight is obviously not rice, but this fish.

   Zhang Lao, Chen Lao, Chen Zhihe.

   Mr. Zhou Lao, Zhou Qingzhu.

   Xu Guangling.

  Six people are seated.

  The rice was still hot and had a faint aroma.

   is long grain basmati rice.

   With the channels of Zhang Lao or Chen Lao, it is obvious that you can get high-quality rice that is not easily available in the market.

   However, the fragrance of this rice is obviously not worth the fragrance of fish.

   One of the five scumbags.

Fish, licorice, American ginseng, salt, oil, pineapple, corn, egg white, all these things, but with Xu Guangling's combination, at this moment, the scent is very appealing, indicating that this combination is at least successful .

   The same is true.

   Lao Zhang took chopsticks, Chen Lao took chopsticks, Chen Zhihe took chopsticks, Mr. Zhou Lao took chopsticks, and Zhou Qingzhu took chopsticks.

   "That's right. Mild and rich, to put it mildly, you have done it." Mr. Zhang said.

   "Boy, let's eat this instead. I'm tired of eating vermicelli every day, old man. Well, this fish is well cooked." Mr. Chen said.

   And the entrance of a chopstick, in an instant, appeared on Chen Zhihe's face, but it was quite intoxicated.

   "Little Junior Brother, this is the best fish I've ever eaten!" After a while, he said so, and quickly grabbed the second chopstick.

"Wow, Big Brother Xu, this fish is better than the stew you made!" The little girl Zhou Qingzhu's performance was very exaggerated, much more exaggerated than Chen Zhihe, with a smile on her face, "Big Brother Xu, you are a super chef. Have you ever participated in a cooking competition before?"

   "Girl, don't talk nonsense." Mr. Zhou scolded, and then said: "Mr. Xu, your cooking skills and medical skills are equally brilliant."

   Xu Guangling's medical skills, now, in the eyes of Mr. Zhou, what is the standard?

   can only say yes, high, very high, very high.

   The kind that reaches the sky.

   Therefore, to say that his cooking skills are as good as his medical skills is an absolute compliment.

   Xu Guangling set up chopsticks himself.

   A piece of fish fills the mouth, the teeth bite down, through the hot oil, through the slightly charred corn husk, through the tender fish meat, and then the upper and lower teeth merge together.

   After a few seconds.

  The smell of fish, the smell of crispy corn, the smell of licorice, American ginseng and pineapple, and the smell of salt.

Mix together.

   in the taste buds.

   Like ripples in the water, it spread out in circles.
