Food starts with noodles

Hey, is it time for me to play tricks again?

It's so annoying, I can't let people have a peaceful meal.

Sure enough, the chef glanced at Boss Xu and sneered.

"Just him? I've been cooking mashed sweet potatoes for more than ten years. If he wants to cook better than mine, I'll screw my head off. Do you dare to bet with me?"

Xu Zhuo glanced at him and shook his head.

If you bet, bet something meaningful, like screwing your head or something.

Can it really be done?

Even if you can do it, can I have it?

Today's adults really don't have the spirit of gambling.

"Why don't you talk? Are you afraid to bet with me?"

Chapter 695 Cooking Sweet Potatoes with Meat Stew

Seeing that Xu Zhuo was silent, the chef took the initiative to provoke him.

This scene makes Yu Keke want to laugh.

When she helped Xu Zhuo shoot the video, she watched it back and forth.

I'm afraid that apart from Zhao Jinma, few people can surpass Xu Zhuo in stir-fried mashed sweet potatoes.

This chef actually provoked Xu Zhuo so much.

It was fun to watch.

Xu Zhuo took a sip of water, smiled and said, "I refuse because I can't take your head off, and you can't screw it off yourself. If you want to bet, you can change the terms to something more affordable, or just don't mention this at all, just go straight to me. I just talk about the competition, there is no need to talk so much."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhuo stood up, looked at Zhao Jinma and said, "Grandpa Zhao, it's really not easy to eat your meal once. It just so happens that I learned a dish in Huizhou this time, so I can show you guys some experience."

The new dish Xu Zhuo mentioned was the red taro with honey sauce that he accidentally got in the kitchen last night.

This dish is not difficult to make, and there are not many audiences.

However, the presentation of the plate is very artistic. It can be said that it is two extremes with fried sweet potato mash.

So Xu Zhuo decided to make it, and let Zhao Ji's private kitchen chefs have a look.

By the way, let's see if I can inspire Zhao Jinma.

If Zhao Jinma reinterpreted this dish according to his own understanding after seeing it, and made a Central Plains version of honey sauce red taro, it would be a worthwhile trip.

He asked Yu Keke to speak with Chen Guifang here, and then walked to the kitchen with Zhao Jinma and his apprentice.

Soon, the news that Xu Zhuo and Zhao Jinma's apprentice had a competition spread throughout the kitchen.

Although Xu Zhuo had been to Zhao Ji's private kitchen a few times before, they were all in the main store. He hadn't been to this store before, and no one in the back kitchen knew him.

However, everyone felt that at such a young age, he was definitely inferior to Zhao Jinma's apprentice in frying mashed sweet potatoes.

Zhao Jinma folded his arms without saying a word.

Obviously, he also wanted his apprentice to learn a lot.

Don't always think that you are great.

Xu Zhuo also had this feeling before, always thinking that he was very powerful.

But going out these few times made him see the power of other cuisines.

I no longer have the mentality to feel how powerful I am.

On the contrary, I feel that I should go out more in the future to see different cooking methods and really feel that there are people beyond people and beyond.

There are steamed sweet potatoes in the back kitchen, which can be fried at any time.

But Xu Zhuo didn't rush to do it, but planned to make the honey red taro first.

This dish is so simple that even people with no cooking skills can do it well.

Xu Zhuo thought that he could make a video to teach it later, so that everyone can learn from it.

Will your family members be upset if you cook a unique dish by yourself on New Year's Eve?

It is better to use sweet potatoes to make honey sweet taro, which happens to be the kind of sweet potatoes in the back kitchen.

Xu Zhuo found several, first peeled the sweet potatoes, then cut the sweet potatoes into long strips, and then changed them into diamond-shaped pieces.

Finally, use a kitchen knife to carefully modify the diamond-shaped pieces, so that the dishes will be more beautiful.

After finishing these, Xu Zhuo brought a casserole and put a bamboo grate on the bottom of the casserole, which can effectively prevent sticking to the pan, and this layer of bamboo grate can also prevent the sweet potatoes from deforming or melting due to boiling water.

Next, Xu Zhuo washed the cut sweet potatoes and put them on the bamboo grate, adding water to cover the sweet potatoes.

Because the casserole used was relatively large and there were many sweet potatoes, so Xu Zhuo put a small handful of rock sugar into the pot.

Then add a tablespoon of honey.

After everything is ready, put the casserole on the stove, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer.

Although the red taro in honey sauce is a dessert, the technique used is stuffing and stewing, which is commonly used in Anhui cuisine, which makes Zhao Jinma very curious.

"Stew sweet potatoes like stew, won't the sweet potatoes melt?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "No, the sweet potato will only become softer and softer. You can try it later. It's not much inferior to fried sweet potato mash."

Although Zhao Jinma had been to Huizhou in the early years, it was purely for tourism, and he was still in a group, and came back after a hasty tour.

I have never really tasted the culture there.

Even the meals are brought by the tour guide to eat.

That kind of experience can be imagined.

Therefore, in his perception, Anhui cuisine is just an addition to the eight major cuisines, and it will not be very delicious.

Moreover, the low-key and simple style of Anhui cuisine, except for the famous stinky mandarin fish, other dishes have a low sense of existence, no wonder Zhao Jinma has such an idea.

In fact, except for Huizhou people, most people have this impression of Anhui cuisine.

After Xu Zhuo stewed the sweet potatoes, he started to make fried sweet potatoes.

Now with the D-level skills in hand, there is no pressure at all to make mashed sweet potatoes.

Moreover, Xu Zhuo has also decided that when he arranges the dishes later, he will follow the way he arranged in Zhao Guangming's Rainbow Restaurant in Shanghai.

He learned the dish of fried sweet potatoes from Zhao Jinma, and the task of adding appearance was done in Zhao Guangming's restaurant.

So Xu Zhuo felt that it was necessary to show Zhao Jinma.

The reason why the dish of red taro with honey sauce is made today is also for this reason.

When Xu Zhuo started to fry the mashed sweet potatoes, the smiles on the faces of the chefs around him gradually disappeared.

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

This statement also applies in culinary circles.

Among other things, even if Xu Zhuo slid the wok three times in a row, he knew that he was good at making mashed sweet potatoes.

Many dishes have a step of sliding the pot before cooking.

The more times you slide the pan, the less likely it is to stick to the pan.

But for general dishes, one slippery pan is enough.

Even for ingredients such as minced meat that are sticky to the pan, slide the pan twice at most.

Only very viscous ingredients such as fried sweet potato mash will slide the pan more than three times.

And the steps of frying sugar can be seen as an expert.

Frying sugar with oil is more difficult than frying sugar with water, but Xu Zhuo's frying technique and fire control are even more difficult than some chefs present.

This is...

Those people who were laughing at Xu Zhuo just now all turned around now, what should they be busy with.

Xu Zhuo continued to speculate, and Zhao Jinma's apprentice almost simultaneously.

But obviously, compared with Xu Zhuo's, his technique is a bit sluggish.

And there are some flaws in the steps.

Relatively speaking, Xu Zhuo's approach is more orthodox and authentic.

Zhao Jinma looked at Xu Zhuo's cooking and was very jealous.

The last time I did it in front of him, I didn't expect this kid to practice fried mashed sweet potatoes to such an extent.

It is not an exaggeration to call him a genius.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinma suddenly had an idea.

A talent like Xu Zhuo will not be buried in the culinary circle?

While Xu Zhuo was cooking, Yu Keke sneaked to the kitchen door with Xiong Zai in his arms, waiting to see Xu Zhuo slap his face.

Seeing Xu Zhuo's busy back and skillful movements, Yu Keke's face was full of joy.

"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, my husband is too steady!"

Chapter 696 Gentleman Cat

After the mashed sweet potato was fried, Xu Zhuo didn't put it on a plate like Zhao Jinma. Instead, he found a few larger stainless steel spoons, and used a small spoon to put the mashed sweet potato into it little by little, making shapes in the spoons.

Then put these spoons on the plate to form a pattern, and a delicious fried sweet potato mash is finally ready.

Xu Zhuo won the two servings of fried mashed sweet potatoes, both in terms of color and presentation.

Even in terms of practice, everyone has a new understanding of Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship.

Such a young man, he can make mashed sweet potatoes so authentically.

Really terrifying.

Zhao Jinma was also very happy, not only to see the improvement of Xu Zhuo's skills, but more importantly, Xu Zhuo solved the problem in his heart.

The arrangement of the fried mashed sweet potato puzzled him for a long time.

I haven't been able to find a better way.

Now, Xu Zhuo's way of posing made Zhao Jinma's eyes shine.

He even thought of another way.

For example, put fried sweet potato mash in the soup pot, and then place the soup cups one by one on the plate.

Or use another container.

In the past, he always considered putting mashed sweet potatoes on a plate, but he never thought that he could divide it up like this.

Facts have proved that as long as the thinking is diverged, the problem will be solved.

Xu Zhuo's method provided Zhao Jinma with endless possibilities.

He has even decided to call the head chefs of each store back in the afternoon, and everyone will study the container and arrangement of the mashed sweet potato together, trying to make the mashed sweet potato the highlight of Zhao Ji.

"What else can I say? Apologize to others. Don't be arrogant in the future. Go out and have a look and you will know that there are still many masters."

Zhao Jinma kicked his silly apprentice lightly, and that's the end of the twisting of the head.

Xu Zhuo felt slightly disappointed.

Relatively speaking, Pang Shijie is more authentic.

The bet starting at 5 yuan was given to [-].

This is what adults should be like.
