Rebirth as a Cooking God

As for the recipe text, Xia Yu dared to say that he could recite it word by word.

Didn't bother much.

Putting on an apron and washing his hands carefully, Xia Yu scanned the kitchen environment and silently memorized the scene in his mind.

It is very important to be familiar with the environment, such as the location of the knife holder, the specific order of large and small stoves, and the location of refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc. Keep this information in your mind, and you can focus on cooking later. It is much more calm and can greatly reduce mistakes caused by unfamiliar environments.

First, prepare the most time-consuming soup-making process!

With a flash of light in his eyes, Xia Yu glanced at the table where the ingredients were stacked, walked over, and picked up the chicken and chicken bones.

The ingredients were washed quickly.

Just when he raised his head to ask the servants to bring in the charcoal stove, there was a sudden movement outside the kitchen. Four male servants brought in a special charcoal stove. The stove was two meters in size and seemed to be made of marble. The surface was smooth. It looks very impressive.

Several male servants from behind brought bags of charcoal and piled them at the door.

The stove looks new at first glance, with no signs of use.

Xia Yu looked up at Nakiri Senzaemon in the outer room and gave a thumbs up, You are really well prepared!

Instructor Xia, these are your things!

The maid also brought over the kitchen utensils he had placed in the bedroom, including the bellows, the kitchen utensil box, and the small wooden storage freezer called the Sifang Sheep Library, which had appeared at the Sapporo Games.

At the end of tonight, Xia Yu naturally moved all his equipment to Nakiri's house, and he didn't plan to throw it into the inventory for the next few days.

Thumbs up!

He turned around and placed a soup pot on the stovetop of the marble stove.

First, add hot water. Leave the stock pot alone and use another pot of gas-cooked hot water to blanch the chicken and chicken bones.

The process of blanching is suitable for many vegetables and meat ingredients with a fishy smell.

Leaving aside the vegetables, at this time chicken bones and chicken are used to make the soup. Through the blanching step, the blood in the raw materials can be discharged, making the soup clearer.

However, Erina and Alice were both surprised when they saw Xia Yu wash the chicken bones and chicken with boiling water, then set up a second cooking pot on the gas stove and lit the fire while waiting for the water to heat up. .

Do you want to blanch it a second time?

In this case, if the meat is too cooked, will the flavor be seriously lost?

Nakiri Senzaemon put down his teacup, his eyes filled with interest.

It seems that he is very aware of the characteristics of those chickens and chicken bones.

Um?

Hearing this, Erina and Alice were both startled.

Could it be that in addition to some blue star algae, chicken and chicken bones are also derived from some kind of fantasy poultry?

I heard Nakiri Munue explain calmly: Father, blanching it twice is not enough, right? Those are the meat and bones of garlic chicken, which are born with an excessive garlic flavor. If they are not processed properly, they will The chicken soup has a pungent smell of garlic. How do you eat it?

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

I think back when I was learning this devil's recipe, I was also stuck on the step of making soup with chicken and chicken bones for half a year. Nakiri Munwei said, In the end, I found a very unorthodox method to barely cook the meat. The stubborn garlic smell of bones and bones has been alleviated, but...

But what?

Alice and Erina asked anxiously.

The umami flavor has been lost! Nakiri Munuei's tone turned low, It is said to be chicken broth, but if the umami flavor is not up to standard, the entire bowl of ramen will be mediocre, let alone Demon King's ramen!

During the conversation, Xia Yu had successfully blanched the water for the second time.

Heat the chicken and chicken bones in 30-degree water until it reaches 90 degrees, take them out and wash them in cold water.

But it’s just the second time of blanching.

What?!

Seeing Xia Yu turning around and throwing the chicken and chicken bones, which were steaming with wild garlic flavor on the plate, into the soup pot on the charcoal stove, the sound of crisp water could be heard in the outer room.

Nakiri Munue could not calm down, This is only the second time, and he started making soup?

The second time, it was just right! Just right!

There was a calm voice from the side. Nakiri Munue turned around and found that it was his father Senzaemon saying: The first time, the blood foam was not gone clean enough. The second time, the blood foam was gone cleanly, Garlic Chicken The flavor will be appropriately lightened and softened. Furthermore, this time it can also properly lock in the freshness of the chicken and chicken bones!

Achieve three birds with one stone!

Senzaemon's eyes were full of admiration, He grasped the step of blanching water very well!

But!

But!

Nakiri Munue couldn't help but get excited when he thought about his sad learning experience in the past, and his voice was slightly higher: The chicken and chicken bones treated in this way are put in to stew the soup. How should we deal with the flavor of the garlic chicken afterwards?

Hearing this, Senzaemon just pointed at the native stove in front of Xia Yu.

Just that stove.

Nakiri Munue had a question mark on his face.

Souei, you just rely too much on the equipment! Senzaemon said calmly, with a hint of rebuke in his words, Modern kitchen stoves have stable flames, but for ambitious chefs, this flame, this kind of heat , too docile, too stable, and too easy to control!”

Fire is still your weak point in cooking!

Nakiri Souei lowered his head.

Undeniable.

As a chef who relies on sophisticated scientific instruments to prepare molecular gourmet food, even gas stoves seem outdated, let alone using primitive charcoal stoves. Technologies such as microwaves, light waves and electromagnetic heating can do better.

Then... let's take a look! Pushing up the frames of his glasses, Nakiri Souei raised his head and paid attention to the young chef who was busy pouring charcoal and blowing the bellows in the inner room.

What, garlic chicken?

In fact, Xia Yu knew that the ingredients were wrong when he was carrying chicken and chicken bones.

The second fantasy ingredient? It doesn't matter at all.

Compared with Blue Star Algae whose purpose and effect are unknown, the wild garlic flavor of Garlic Chicken is too easy to deal with in Xia Yu's eyes.

One word——

boil!

Just let it simmer, wouldn't it be enough to release the excess flavor by boiling it?

And that's exactly what he did.

Hoo, ho, ho...

The bellows bring out the flame rhythm of the charcoal stove.

With every blow, the charcoal stove was breathing heavily. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole pot of water started to boil. A large white mist occupied half of the kitchen. In the mist, Xia Yu held a handful more than one meter long. With a large spatula, he leaned forward and kept stirring the soup pot.

This scene didn't look like making soup at all, but more like a certain wizard refining some terrible potion.

An indescribable smell of garlic followed the white mist and filled the air.

It tastes so bad!

In the outer room, Alice and Erina covered their mouths and noses tightly, their eyebrows knitted together.

Nakiri Souei was extremely shocked.

Understand? This is the derivative application of fire.

Senzaemon looked sideways at his son.

Nodding and shaking his head, Nakiri Mune was completely confused by Senzaemon and the boy who was cooking chicken broth.

Tell me what you think the heat is.

In the process of cooking raw materials, the strength of the heat source and the length of heating time of the ingredients are controlled... Nakiri Munue replied, In the end, the ingredients will obtain the required maturity!

Ah, very standard, textbook answer.

Nakiri Senzaemon put down his teacup and stood up.

come over--

Nakiri Munue followed his old father all the way to the stove that was blazing with heat. He saw Senzaemon pointing at the soup pot in the mist, What do you think now?

Hearing this, Nakiri Munue could only open his eyes as wide as possible and look through the mist at the boiling soup in the pot.

Wow——

Suddenly, speckled sparks appeared in the field of vision.

This, this is...?

Nakiri Munue saw the situation inside the pot clearly, but it was as if he had witnessed a magic trick, and he was speechless.
