Chapter 317 Boiled Cabbage (12)

Seeing that Zhou Dong was silent, Huai Liang felt that he should say a few words. He was always very gracious to ladies, except for that clumsy female assistant.

"This boiled cabbage dish is not ordinary. We only order this dish because we don't want to put too much pressure on your chef. To be honest, I'm not even too confident about whether he can cook this dish well."

"True or not, isn't it boiled cabbage?"

The girl felt that among this group of people, Chef Huai was the most capable of pretending. Girls are the most sensitive to this kind of person, so naturally they don't believe his words very much.

"Okay, you just go to the back kitchen to place an order. By the way, tell the back kitchen that this boiled cabbage will be steamed in the early stage."

Zhou Dong said.

"Steamed in the early stage, so you like to eat steamed cabbage?"

The girl among the guests at this table looked at Zhou Dong pleasingly, and finally waited until he spoke again, feeling unspeakably happy in her heart, and gave Zhou Dong a look with a coquettish smile.

Huai Liangren, Yan Yi and Chef Qin looked at each other, but they never thought that Zhou Dong would pay so much attention to this mysterious chef from "Hua Cui Ju" in Kyoto.

Boiled cabbage is considered a representative of "non-spicy" in Sichuan cuisine, and it is also a representative of Sichuan cuisine with hundreds of dishes and styles.

The name is not a random one, and we must pay attention to a "cooking with boiling water in the early stage and boiling water in the later stage".

what does it mean?

When making this dish, the cabbage heart should be boiled or steamed in boiling water first. It is not fried, roasted, cooked, fried or fried. It is a rare dish that does not see oil in the early stage, which is called boiling water in the early stage.

When you see "boiled water" in the later stage, it is not real boiled water, but a special-grade refined broth carefully hoisted out by the chef. If this soup is clear soup, you will not see the slightest bit of oily smell, just like boiling water, so it can live up to the name of "boiled water cabbage". !
If you think that the highlight of this dish is the high soup, then you are completely wrong.
The super refined broth is of course important, but the treatment of the cabbage in the early stage is actually the most skillful. One steaming and one steaming are all to make the cabbage preliminarily mature, but there are subtle differences between boiling and steaming.

Zhou Dong directly asked the back kitchen to use the steaming method in the early stage, which seems to be simpler than the boiling method. Who can put cabbage in the pot and steam it?On the contrary, it is better to see the kung fu with boiling water, but it is not the case.

When Mr. Huailiang was learning how to cook this dish, Yi Zhiyu once said to him, "If you are [-]% sure about making boiled cabbage with the boiling method, you can try the steaming method."

Boy, remember, the most authentic boiled cabbage must be steamed in the pre-treatment! '

Chef Qin has specialized in Sichuan cuisine for decades, but he still uses the steaming method to cook this dish. He also knows how hard it is to steam this extremely tender cabbage heart!

Before Zhou Dong met the mysterious chef, he directly asked a difficult question, which surprised the three of them.

Huai Liang shook his head and said, "Old Zhou, 'Hua Cui Ju' is very famous, who doesn't know the top hotel in Huaxia?

But there are too many chefs there, and even Chef Qin doesn't know his origin, how capable is this person?
I think his food quality is good, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fault Chef Qin, but when it comes to cooking, it's not hard for me to beat him with this dish of boiled cabbage!
Do you need to pay so much attention to such a person?To actually ask him to use steaming method is to give him a lot of face! "

Zhou Dong wondered: "Why do you specify a steaming method to save face? What do you mean, Laohuai?"

"Hey, are you still not used to your current status?
Who are you now?

Winner of Huaxia Zhou Noodle King, Zhou Dionysus, and Supreme Gold Award in Xiangjiang International Food Competition!Even several old seniors regard you as a young master!Do you still think that you are the chef Xiao Zhou who works in the breakfast department?

If you casually order 'boiled cabbage' and ask him to do it, then that's fine. The more serious you are and give him difficult questions, the more it shows that you, a young master, value the other party too much!
Didn't this give him a lot of face? "

"Anything like that?"

Zhou Dong couldn't help but be astonished to hear Huai Liang's words so clearly and logically.

Yan Yi and Chef Qin didn't speak, but judging from the expressions on their faces, they should agree with Huai Liang.

***
This chef from "Hua Cui Ju" seems arrogant, knowing that the three chefs are coming together, but he doesn't even show his face, but from the analysis of the time he prepared this "boiled cabbage", only I am afraid that he is also very nervous and very solemn.

Zhou Dong and the others waited in the private room for more than two hours before the waitress came in with a glass bowl.

At this moment, the girl looked at Zhou Dong and the others with infinite awe.

Can you not be surprised?Just for this boiled cabbage dish, the chef took a bath first, drank fragrant tea, and then sat cross-legged for more than half an hour, and then chose the ingredients himself. It is said that the chef scolded him miserably on the water table, because The prepared cabbage was not to the chef's liking!

I heard that the chef personally went to the largest vegetable base in Chudu, and found a cabbage called 'pea yellow' from there. She didn't understand why the cabbage was called this name. It is several times that of ordinary cabbage!

Even if she was a newcomer, she knew at this moment that the guests in front of her were definitely not simple.

"The 'starting cabbage' you want is here, please use it slowly."

The waitress put the glass bowl on the table, and carefully peeked at the guests, especially the handsome guy sitting in the middle c
Zhou Dong and the others didn't answer the girl. They had already set their sights on this 'boiled cabbage' as early as when she just walked into the private room.

Knowing how to serve this dish in a glass bowl, pay attention!It is clear at a glance.

Boiled cabbage is the rarest dish on the market.
When you go to some star-rated restaurants, you rarely see this dish on the menu. This is because the chefs in the star-rated restaurants cherish feathers. Those who are willing to put in the menu should know that people who can enter high-end restaurants are either rich or expensive, and many of them know how to eat. If they miss it, they can't afford to lose this person.

But this dish is the most common. You can often see 'boiled cabbage' on the menu in some small restaurants.

Cabbage, how expensive can it be?The boss is very frothy, and when he catches you, he will praise you fiercely, saying that you are an expert, many people don't understand, and saying that cabbage is not worth more than ten or twenty yuan
Don’t order boiled cabbage at this price. After all, you can’t find a big wine tank opened by Zhou Dong everywhere. Put the cabbage clapper!
Just 20 and 18 yuan a copy?What the hell, it's worth five yuan! (Meow, last week I ate [-] yuan boiled cabbage, just this kind of stuff!)

Zhou Dong and the others are of course experts. They looked at the color through the glass bowl, and saw that the soup was like transparent boiling water without any oily smell, and it was placed in the glass bowl. The cabbage cores seemed to be floating in the glass bowl out of thin air. Average in a bowl!
The color of the soup is so transparent that it is so good!
Zhou Dong, Huai Liangren and Yan Yi are fine, but Chef Qin's expression changed drastically, and he felt a 'thump' in his heart.
