Chapter 777
Jiang Yang and Lin Yong decide who will compete with Ren Pengcheng based on the outcome.

"The kitchen is not far away, but there are not many ingredients. What ingredients do you want, I will send someone to buy some." Lin Yong said.

Jiang Yang heard the words and quickly told the ingredients he needed.

"I need silken tofu, winter bamboo shoots, ham, mushrooms..."

"You don't cook fish-flavored shredded pork? These ingredients... you want to make Wensi tofu?" Lin Yong was surprised.

Jiang Yang didn't hide anything, nodded calmly and said, "That's right."

Lin Yong frowned and said, "When did you learn Wensi Tofu?"

Jiang Yang said with a smile: "I have only learned it not long ago, and now there are recipes everywhere on the Internet, and I have learned it after thinking about it myself."

Lin Yong: "..."

You can learn a dish casually, right?
Lin Yong complained in his heart, and then he was taken aback, didn't Jiang Yang in front of him just learn it casually?

Thinking of this, Lin Yong felt a little stuffy in his chest.So you can do whatever you want with high talent?

"Okay, don't cry when you lose." Lin Yong muffled.

Jiang Yang smiled wryly, "Old Lin, I'm in my twenties, so I don't know how to cry."

Lin Yong suddenly felt more stuffy in his chest, why did you emphasize that you are only in your twenties?Why do you look down on me who is seventy or eighty?
Lin Yong went to arrange for people to buy ingredients without saying a word, Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment, what happened to Mr. Lin?
The ingredients were purchased quickly, and Jiang Yang and Lin Yong went to a kitchen respectively.

Jiang Yang, the kitchen of the Chefs Association, has been here before. The kitchen here is not big and can only accommodate one chef.But there are quite a lot of kitchens here.

Jiang Yang started to make Wensi tofu.

This dish is the most test of the chef's knife skills, especially in the step of cutting tofu, which stumps many people.Even those with good knife skills need to practice for three to five years before they can cut tofu into shreds continuously.

How soft and tender is tofu?Not to mention shredded, even if you use chopsticks to pick it with too much force after cooking, the tofu will be smashed.One can imagine how difficult it is to shred such a fragile and tender ingredient.

This is also the superb embodiment of Huaguo cooking techniques.

Jiang Yang picked up the tender tofu carefully.

Nowadays, there are actually many kinds of tofu. The more common ones are old tofu and soft tofu, but there are also more tender tofu such as lactone tofu in soft tofu.The tender tofu for making Wensi tofu should not be too tender. If it is too tender, it will not have toughness, and everything will break.

Jiang Yang was very careful with every cut, but he moved quickly without any sense of pause.This is the case with shredded tofu, and you can't stop.Once it's stopped, it's not perfect enough to cut down again.

Slice first, which is relatively simple.Then shred, shred tofu must be careful.

This is different from slicing. It is difficult to shred in one go, and you must stop after each small section.The purpose of stopping is not to rest, but to water!That's right, in the process of shredding, it must be watered continuously.This is because the shredded tofu is too easy. If you don’t water it, the shredded tofu will be torn when the knife edge goes up and down.So watering is to make the knife lubricated enough to prevent the tofu shreds from breaking too much.

Even if the knife skills reached Jiangyang's level, he was still cautious at this step.

In addition to cutting tofu, shredded shiitake mushrooms, ham, winter bamboo shoots, and lettuce are much simpler.

However, it is difficult to cut chicken breasts. The fibers of chicken breasts are relatively thick, so it is more difficult to cut them into thin hairs.If it is cut along the fiber, the finished dish will have a heavier fiber feel.Therefore, if you want to cut chicken breasts well, it is a test of the chef's observation skills.

After all kinds of shreds were cut, Jiang Yang began to cook.

To cook Wensi tofu, you need chicken stock.

This chicken soup was prepared by Jiang Yang from the very beginning. Jiang Yang still has a lot of experience in making soup.

The role of the chicken soup is to make the taste of Wensi tofu more mellow and delicious, and to increase the texture of the dishes.

Take the chicken soup, put shredded shiitake mushrooms in the steamer and steam until cooked, then take the chicken soup and add shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded ham, shredded chicken breast, and shredded lettuce to boil, then add appropriate amount of salt to taste.Tofu shreds Take another chicken broth and heat until the tofu shreds float, then use a colander to put the tofu shreds into the previous bowl.

At this point, a Wensi tofu is ready.

Jiang Yang brought Wensi tofu out, and Lin Yong had already prepared the dishes outside, waiting for Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang walked over and saw that what Lin Yong was cooking was a cold dish——cold chicken!
"Taste it." Lin Yong put the cold chicken in front of Jiang Yang and said.

At the same time, Jiang Yang put Wensi Tofu in front of Lin Yong and said, "Old Lin, please taste it."

The two tasted the delicacies made by each other.

Jiang Yang savored this cold chicken dish carefully.

The first is the taste. The chicken is cooked to the right temperature, and the meat is tender and the chicken skin has a springy feeling.The taste is sour, spicy, salty, and fresh. The combination of various flavors is very good. The first taste is amazing, and the second taste is unforgettable.

This is a classic Sichuan dish. As a cold dish, the right amount of acid neutralizes the greasy meat, making it more appetizing and refreshing.The chili is made of millet pepper, which has a high degree of spiciness, but the spicy taste is fresh and refreshing, which can bring more direct stimulation to the taste buds.The soy sauce has its own savory taste, and the umami taste of the chicken itself makes the taste of this dish reach its peak.

There are also many kinds of cold dishes in Sichuan Province. For example, cold chicken is an appetizer. Naturally, red oil is not used, but some other seasonings are used to increase its taste.

Jiang Yang dared to say that this cold chicken dish was one of the best cold dishes he had ever eaten.Although it is just a few simple seasonings, it is not easy to make this kind of taste.

Lin Yong was going to taste Jiangyang's Wensi Tofu, which is not a Sichuan dish but a Jiangsu dish. Lin Yong didn't know how Jiang Yang learned it.

Lin Yong planned that if Jiang Yang's dish was not delicious, he would definitely get angry.Jiang Yang is too young, and if he doesn't beat and beat the achievements he has achieved that are not in line with his age, he will easily lose himself.

Wensi Tofu was just in the mouth, and Lin Yong was overwhelmed by the extremely special taste.Hesitantly, all the ingredients are cut very finely, and after cooking, it almost melts in the mouth.But you can clearly taste the taste of various ingredients, such as the freshness and saltiness of ham, the strong fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, and the freshness of lettuce.All kinds of flavors gather in the mouth, coupled with the delicate taste of tofu and the delicious taste of chicken soup, it is simply wonderful.

Lin Yong couldn't help staring at Jiang Yang with wide eyes. Why is this dish so delicious?
After a long time, Jiang Yang asked softly: "Old Lin, what do you think of the outcome?"

At this time, Lin Yongcai came back to his senses, and said in a slightly lonely tone: "I lost."

Being surpassed by a young junior makes no one feel good, even if they know that this junior is very talented.

Lin Yong's emotions were complicated and difficult to understand for a while, some lost and some happy.Of course, I am more happy, after all, Jiang Yang is the junior he has high hopes for.

Ps: Tomorrow's birthday, please take a day off!Take a break and thank you all!
