Chapter 22 Difficult Dishes
As soon as Xu Xia's words were spoken, everyone looked at him in surprise.

But this time everyone has learned to be good, and they didn't speak rudely like before. After all, they were slapped in the face and they haven't recovered yet.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Xia shook his head again,
"Forget it, I'm just talking casually, don't take it to heart."

At this time, Wang Fugui arranged for a cook named Xiao Zhou to send the sixth child out, then walked up to Xu Xia, and asked solemnly:

"Brother Xu Xia, do you know how to cook?"

Of course, when Wang Fugui talks about stir-frying, he does not mean ordinary people cooking and stir-frying at home, but refers to professional cooking skills.

Xu Xia didn't think much, nodded and said:
"If it's the two dishes on the menu that the sixth child cooks, it's very simple. I think there should be no problem."

Wang Fugui almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. The two dishes that the sixth child was going to cook were not easy at all. They were even included in the list of the most difficult individual dishes in Chinese food. If you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted. Xu Xia He said it so lightly.

Although he was skeptical, he thought about the experience of being slapped in the face for his contempt for Xu Xia just now, and since Xu Xia can have such a good knife skill, maybe he also has two brushes in cooking. In this case, let Xu Xia try It doesn't matter.

After all, Xu Xia didn't let him kneel down in front of everyone, which meant he owed Xu Xia a favor.

Wang Fugui is not that kind of hypocritical person, he has an upright personality, even if something really goes wrong, at worst, he will take care of himself and just return the favor.

"It's okay, little brother Xu Xia, then I'll leave these two dishes to you. There are four tables in total, and four servings of each dish."

Wang Fugui said.

Xu Xia was slightly taken aback, Wang Fugui agreed straightforwardly, somewhat beyond his expectation.

Looking at Xu Xia's reaction, Wang Fugui showed embarrassment and said:
"Just now... sorry."

A smile was outlined on Xu Xia's face. He has a good habit of smiling face to face. After all, everyone is not a life-and-death feud, and there is no other conflict between them. Looking at it this way, he naturally wouldn't be hypocritical.

Xu Xia nodded and said:

"Don't worry, you won't get into trouble if you leave it to me."

Lao Liu had prepared all the raw materials in advance, so Xu Xia only had to cook directly, which saved a lot of trouble.

These two dishes are "three non sticks", also known as "osmanthus eggs".

Another dish is called "double crispy fried in oil".

Let me talk about "three non-sticks" first. This is a very traditional dish with a long history and is deeply loved by the people. The main ingredients are egg yolks, sugar, mung bean powder, sesame oil, water, etc. Although this dish sounds very ordinary , the ingredients are also very common, even if you can make it yourself at home, but there are not many that can really do it well.

Of course, ordinary people don't pay much attention to eating at home.

But it is different in star-rated restaurants, and everything needs to be done!Non-stick pans, non-stick plates, and non-stick chopsticks are indispensable!

In addition to the proportion of ingredients, the most critical point of this dish is the control of the heat. It must be just right.

Xu Xia put the ingredients into the bowl according to the proportions in his mind, and stirred them quickly. After a while, the viscous egg liquid has been adjusted, the whole is golden yellow, and exudes a scent of eggs. The next step is Cook it with oil and pour it into the dinner plate after it is formed.

Then light the stove, control the heat, pour the egg liquid into the pot, shake the iron pot gently, let the egg liquid receive even and sufficient heat in the pot, and count silently in the heart at the same time.

The culinary knowledge in Xu Xia's mind is all the experience that has been honed through thousands of years, and he just needs to follow it.

Not long after, a strong aroma spread from the entire back kitchen, directly covering the aromas mixed with other dishes, and it became a thriving one.

"It's so fragrant, isn't this smell untouchable?"

"Yes, it smells so good. It smells more authentic than the one made by Lao Liu."

"Brother Xu Xia's skills are simply amazing!"

“My cooking skills are top-notch, I didn’t expect my cooking skills to be so good!”

All the cooks put down the kitchen utensils in their hands one after another, and once again cast admiring gazes at Xu Xia.

Wang Fugui's eyes were bright, and he walked quickly in front of Xu Xia, looking at the sticky yellow and orange custard in the pot, he was inexplicably surprised, and asked a very idiotic question,
"Brother Xu Xia, did you do this?"

Wang Fugui wanted to slap himself twice when he said this, Xu Xia was still holding the pot, who else could it be if he didn't do it.

Xu Xia smiled lightly, and poured the "three non-stick" jelly-like custard evenly into the four dinner plates.

When the last drop of egg custard fell onto the plate, Wang Fugui's eyes almost fell to the ground. There was no other reason, and there was not even a single drop of custard left in the whole pot.

Even if it is clear water, after passing through the pot, there will probably be water droplets on the pot.

How did Xu Xia do it? !

Even if Lao Liu is good at cooking this dish, in fact, he can't fully cook the essence of this dish. For example, he can't do the sticking of the pan, it's all about luck.

Secondly, the fragrance is not as good as Xu Xia's.

Wang Fugui looked at the materials next to him and made sure that Xu Xia had not added anything else. He was shocked.

On the dinner plate, the overall appearance is yellow-orange-orange, and the color is very bright. Coupled with the strong fragrance, it is quite easy to arouse people's appetite.

If you take a sip, you will definitely be fascinated by the soft feeling with a slight Q bomb.

Wang Fugui even had the urge to pick up a spoon and taste it, but unfortunately Xu Xia made four servings of "three non-sticks", which were just enough to hold four dinner plates.

"This dish is ready, let's serve it while it's hot."

Xu Xia said casually.

"okay."

Wang Fugui came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and immediately called the waiter to serve.

The second dish is "Oil Burst Double Crisp". The ingredients are also very simple, pork belly and chicken gizzard slices, and duck gizzards are also used.After frying in high-temperature boiling oil, it quickly becomes cooked, and the taste is crisp after it comes out of the pan, so it is called double-crisp in oil.

And this dish is very popular all over the country. Many top restaurants have this dish, but still the same sentence, there are very few that are really delicious and have a top taste.

First cut the pork belly into pine cones, which can increase the contact surface of the pork belly with the oil and fire, and generally speaking, it will be more tasty.

The most important thing is the issue of heat, which is also the most crucial part of this dish.

It is necessary to heat the oil to a very high temperature, put the duck gizzards and pork belly into the boiling oil for an instant burst, and then quickly remove it.

At this time, the heat and speed are very important and very difficult to control.

If the oil temperature is too high, the ingredients are not cooked yet and the outside is burnt.If the oil temperature is too low, the ingredients will not be cooked, and the taste will not be crispy and hard to chew.

The oil temperature is well controlled, and the time is also very important. It must be controlled for no more than 15 seconds. If it exceeds, the duck gizzard will not be brittle and hard, and the taste will not be fresh or fragrant, and the greatest essence of this dish will be lost.
