The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 38 Chapter 38
"Hmm~ It smells so good."

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from behind Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke turned his head and found that Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo was already standing outside the kitchen.

"Senior Mu Jiuzhi, why did you wake up so early?" Zheng Ke looked at Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo in surprise.

"It's getting late. If you're opening a store, you should already get up by this time, because you still have to prepare the ingredients for the day."

Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo came to Zheng Ke's side, looked at the delicious chicken nuggets on the plate, and said, "Can I taste one?"

"Of course. I was just asking you to help me see what else could be improved."

Even so, anyone can see that Zheng Ke is very satisfied with the chicken nuggets this time.

"Well, it's really good. Fragrant and tender chicken nuggets are always the best quick food. They are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious. After marinating for a long time, the taste is completely integrated into the chicken, with sweet jam and rich flavor. The gravy is mixed together, and it’s really a pleasure to eat. And the elastic texture makes it especially delicious when you eat it. How did you do it?”

"It's not a glorious thing to say." Zheng Ke rubbed his head, a little embarrassed, "I was a little sleepy when I was cooking the second pot today, so after the chicken was cooked, I forgot to stir it. Appeared. So I fished them out. It turned out that the chicken nuggets were more elastic. When it came to the third pot, I did this deliberately while paying attention to the heat. It turned out that the taste was much better than before.”

"You are very lucky. Yes, as you said, if the chicken is stirred immediately after it is placed in the pot, the meat will fall apart, which will affect the elasticity of the chicken, and the meat will become crispy and the taste will also deteriorate. It’s just that if you don’t grasp the timing of the flipping, it’s easy to get burnt by frying.”

Zheng Ke kept nodding, although he also thought of this reason, but because the theoretical knowledge is not too solid, it is not so thorough to understand.

"This kind of chicken is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It has an excellent taste. It should have been fried twice." Kikuchienko closed his eyes and savored the taste of the chicken nuggets. "There is still a milky aroma in the chicken, you It should have been milk...no, yogurt instead of eggs."

Zheng Ke stared dumbfounded at Kikuchi Sonogo, with an unbelievable look on her face. She seemed to be standing next to him, watching him do it with her own eyes, giving people the feeling of Nakiri Erina "God's Tongue"?
"It's exactly as my sister said. I made a dish before, and the fish head in it was fried twice, which not only kept the delicious taste of the fish head, but also made the fish head very crispy. I thought chicken could I couldn’t do this, so I tried it, and found that while ensuring the crispy taste, the tenderness of the chicken was preserved. As for the yogurt..."

Zheng Ke paused for a moment, because yogurt is a built-in ingredient in the sauce menu given by the system, so its functions were all discovered by Zheng Ke himself, and he was not so confident when talking about it.

"Yogurt is also for texture. Using yogurt instead of egg liquid, the fried chicken nuggets will have a thinner coating. This way, the chicken will become more crispy."

"That's true. So the taste of the chicken nuggets you make is much better than other chicken nuggets. But... your chicken also has shortcomings, although they are not too obvious." Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo pondered for a moment before expressing the Concerns were spoken out.

"Shortcomings? Sister, please tell me where the shortcomings are?"

Zheng Ke already felt that this dish was perfect, but he didn't expect that there were still shortcomings.However, before the competition, it is a good thing to find the shortcomings.

"If you don't tell me, I will tell you. You pay too much attention to the external texture when frying chicken nuggets, for example, cooking chicken nuggets twice, substituting yogurt for eggs. However, you do this, especially with Yogurt instead of eggs creates too much water inside the chicken and they dilute the juices inside the chicken, so the flavor of the juices doesn’t fully come out.”

Zheng Ke listened to Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo's words, and immediately stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, carefully and deliciously.Sure enough, after each chew, the taste of the juice flowing out of the chicken is not as strong as expected.

Using yogurt gives the chicken pieces a crispier texture, but again, it takes away from the flavor of the chicken.

How to do this?

Zheng Ke fell into deep thought. The entire cooking process flashed through his mind like a slideshow. Which step could be improved?

Mu Jiuzhi Yuan Guo also looked at Zheng Ke quietly.A good chef can quickly find a solution to a problem after it occurs.

Although the shortcomings of this chicken nugget are hidden, they are not insurmountable.

If Zheng Ke can find a solution, it will make him make great progress.

After four or five minutes of meditation, Zheng Ke finally made a move. He picked up two chicken nuggets and put them in the boiling pot. Gradually, a strong fragrance wafted from the oil pot.

"Sister Mu Jiuzhi, how about the taste of the chicken nuggets this time?" Zheng Ke handed the plate containing the fried chicken nuggets to Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo.

After the chicken nuggets are in the mouth, the crispy batter and the tender chicken complement each other, and the rich flavor flows along the juice to every part of the mouth, and every pore is also stretched.

"It's really delicious. It's even more tempting than Ruishan's chicken nuggets last year. This delicious juice is like an invisible rope, firmly binding people's sense of taste. Zheng Ke, how do you reduce the moisture in the chicken?" Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo asked curiously.

"Hey, this is easy to say. In the whole cooking process, there are only two places that can reduce the moisture content of the chicken. They are two cooking processes. Therefore, I extended the cooking time for the first time to make the chicken thoroughly cooked. At the same time, the moisture in the chicken is also reduced.

"Then during the second frying, because the temperature was higher than the first time, the water evaporated more easily, so I cooked and fried the food while picking it up and letting it come into contact with the air. This way, the water evaporated more easily. Eradiate.”

Zheng Ke told all the mysteries in one breath, and Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo's eyes lit up.

These two points are easy to say, but it is not easy to think of them.When looking at Zheng Ke again, Mu Jiuzhi Sonoko actually had an illusion, she seemed to see Ruishan Etsuya from last year.

(This year's chicken nugget competition may be very exciting. He and Ezuya Ruishan, whoever is likely to have the last laugh. Oh, it seems that I have to go to work that day, no, I must convince my senior sister, and there are so many delicious foods , It must be particularly enjoyable to eat.)
Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo made up his mind to drag her unscrupulous senior sister into the water.
