Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 285 Mild and Delicious

One big carp.

canola oil.

Licorice, American ginseng, pineapple, cornmeal, egg white.

salt.

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

Xu Guangling can also buy it himself, but he really doesn't have much time now. Besides, the quality of what he buys from the market is definitely not as good as that provided by Mr. Zhang, so there is no need to bother about it.

Zhang Lao, Chen Lao, the two old people watched Xu Guangling operate with great interest.

And Chen Zhihe stayed in the living room with Mr. Zhou's grandparents. Zhou Qingzhu had needles on his body now, and it was just right to go to get the needles when Xu Guangling finished the meal.

Slices of licorice and American ginseng cut into very thin transparent slices are slightly fried in [-]-degree rapeseed oil.

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

This seems to be a fixed procedure, and it doesn't consume any of Xu Guangling's mind. When doing this step, Xu Guangling explained to the two old people: "There are two kinds of food, one is light in taste and nourishing in nature, and the other is sexual in second. The taste is extremely strong, stimulating the taste buds with many strong flavors such as sour, spicy and salty."

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

"This is also the first time for this disciple to try it, so we have to wait until it's done."

Both old men nodded.

Not to mention Mr. Zhang, even Mr. Chen, his understanding of medicinal materials and medicinal properties can definitely completely abuse many so-called "pharmacists", so when Xu Guangling talked about these materials in the morning, he had already judged What is his plan.

Licorice and American ginseng are soft and nourishing.

Using American ginseng instead of ginseng, especially when I talked about ginseng a few days ago, obviously, besides the consideration of medicinal properties, Xu Guangling was more concerned about the taste of American ginseng.

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

Licorice, also called honey grass, from this name, we can know what its taste is like.

After stirring for about 3 minutes, Xu Guangling stopped and let the licorice and American ginseng still fry slightly in the oil, and he freed his hands to start handling the fish.

There is nothing to say about this step.

This is the first time that Xu Guangling handles fish in the past six months, and he treats the fish with a knife that he has never done before, but now Xu Guangling, to be honest, with a kitchen knife in his hand, it is like hand extension.

Swish Swish Swish Swish.

Just a quick one.

Then steady, then accurate.

Simply, neatly, like flowing water.

Mr. Chen even stared at the whole movement with his eyes shining, and then he couldn't help exchanging eyes with Mr. Zhang.

After the flower knife is finished, Xu Guangling puts the fish body and head into the still hot oil, and at the same time, adds fine salt.

After finishing this, Xu Guangling pulled out his hand again, took the juice from the pineapple, and then blended the cornflour into a paste with the egg white.

After the paste is adjusted, take out the fish and put on the paste.

Replace the oil, American ginseng and licorice slices together, pour in clean rapeseed oil again, heat directly to 180 degrees, add fish, fry for about 2 minutes, and take out of the pan.

No follow-up action.

That's it, the dish is complete.

This is a very informal "squirrel fish", but in fact, it doesn't matter whether it is formal or not.

The thin corn paste after being fried has a transparent yellowish color, and together with the fish body, it is slightly crispy, as if the crispy shell can be broken by a light touch with chopsticks, and therefore, it looks , making people have an extra impulse to break it.

To put it simply, among the three points of attention to the color, fragrance, and color of the dishes, the dish made by Xu Guangling is qualified in terms of "color".

Or it can barely be called excellent.

And this excellence comes from the knife skills, the paste processing, and the deep-frying mastery.

One step to heaven, one step to hell.

In gourmet cooking, this is actually the case. ——For a skilled chef, there is no concept of "almost".

Almost, just a lot worse.

It is a slight mistake, and a thousand miles away.

Even the simplest process of boiling oyster mushrooms in boiling water with salt, just water, mushrooms, and salt, is so simple that some people can cook it very fresh and palatable, while others can cook it well. No taste of anything other than salty.

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

Acupuncture requires hands-on instruction from a teacher.

From Xu Guangling's point of view, cooking skills are the same.

And if you explore by yourself, you need a lot of talent, and too many attempts.

able to do.

Well done.

well done.

Absolutely.

There are too many steps between these levels, and the vast majority of chefs may only stop at the second level, "doing a good job".

For acupuncture and moxibustion, Xu Guangling has a veteran Zhang to teach him.

But cooking, no.

However, having no teacher is better than having a teacher.

At this point, he is actually the one who cheated.Whether it's the acquisition in his dream, the Shennong Jue, or even just his current skills, he can easily pass the first two levels and reach the third and fourth levels in cooking. .

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

As for today's squirrelfish, 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, it is the first attempt.

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

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

The rice was steamed a long time ago, I don't know if it was Zhang Lao, Chen Lao, or Chen Zhihe, but the theme of tonight is obviously not rice, but this fish.

Zhang Lao, Chen Lao, Chen Zhihe.

Mr. Zhou, Zhou Qingzhu.

Xu Guangling.

Six people are seated.

The rice is still hot, with a faint aroma.

It is long grain fragrant rice.

With the channels of Mr. Zhang or Mr. Chen, it is obvious that high-quality rice that cannot be easily bought in the market can be obtained.

However, the aroma of this rice obviously cannot match the aroma of fish.

One of the five slags of war.

Fish, licorice, American ginseng, salt, oil, pineapple, corn, egg white, all these things, but under Xu Guangling's combination, at this moment, the very attractive fragrance shows that this combination is at least successful .

The same is true.

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

"That's right. Mild and delicious, Zhuoyan, these two things are exquisite, you have achieved it." Mr. Zhang Lao said.

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

As soon as he entered the mouth with chopsticks, what appeared on Chen Zhihe's face was quite intoxicated.

"Little brother, this is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten!" After a while, he said so, and quickly picked up the second chopsticks.

"Wow, Brother Xu, this fish is even more delicious than your stewed dishes!" Miss Zhou Qingzhu's performance was exaggerated, much more exaggerated than Chen Zhihe, and said with a smile on her face, "Brother Xu, you are a super chef Have you ever participated in a culinary competition before?"

"Girl, don't talk nonsense." Mr. Zhou scolded, but then also said: "Mr. Xu, your cooking skills and medical skills are as good."

What is the level of Xu Guangling's medical skills in Mr. Zhou's eyes?

All I can say is, high, high, very high.

The kind that is as high as the sky.

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

Xu Guangling also took the chopsticks himself.

A piece of fish enters the mouth, bites down with the teeth, passes through the hot oil, passes through the slightly charred corn paste shell, passes through the tender fish, and then the upper and lower teeth come together.

After a few seconds.

Fish, crispy corn, licorice, American ginseng, pineapple, and salt.

Mix together.

Between the taste buds.

Like ripples in the water, it spread out round and round.
