Chapter 16 It's Worth It
Xu Yang looked at Tian Mingzheng's actions and expressed his agreement, and his thoughts were correct.
I really have a lot to learn from myself.
For decades of master chefs, it may not be of much help, and there are not many places to learn. They have long developed a habit of cooking, and it is difficult to change it.
But for apprentices, there are many places to learn.
Whether it is the control of the heat, the order of ingredients and seasonings, and the timing of cooking, there is something to learn from.
In addition to making the taste of dishes better, the system can also make all aspects of stir-fried dishes reach a perfect state.
After watching it a few times, it can be seen that Xu Yang is very good at controlling the cooking time and heat every time, even some master chefs can't do it.
The fire should be as big as it should be, and as small as it should be. When it should be put down, it will be put down immediately, and it will never be muddled.
After a while, the second dish, fish-flavored shredded pork, came out of the pan.
Tian Mingzheng opened his mouth and said, "Xu Yang, I kind of understand why your stir-fry tastes so good."
Xu Yang was a little surprised.
He said again: "The first is time. I calculated the detailed time while you were cooking, and found that the time spent on each step of yours was less than three seconds from that of a Sichuan cuisine master of mine. He has been famous for more than 60 years and has been famous for more than 40 years. I have been lucky enough to eat his fried Sichuan food twice. Although your taste is still far from his, the gap is very small.”
Just after finishing speaking, Chef Li stood up and said: "Chef, I know the master you are talking about. Time is important, but it is not the key to the taste. According to this, we only need to cook according to the standard time to make it. Very delicious food.”
"Xu Yang, how about you answer?"
Seeing Tian Mingzheng throwing the question to himself, he replied with a smile: "Chef Li, what the head chef means is that time affects the dishes and the product, not 100%."
"For example, when I was frying shredded pork, it seemed that I had been using high heat. In fact, I switched to medium heat for a while. There is no specific standard for how high the fire is and how high the medium heat is. Yes, each stove will produce different levels of temperature."
Xu Yang knew that the dishes he made were so delicious, and there were also reasons for these aspects.
It is impossible to mess around and still be able to fry a very delicious taste.
For example, if only meat and ingredients are used in stir-fried dishes without seasoning, the system can't provide any help.
Xu Yang tried it once at home.
Cook according to the system's cooking method, your own cooking method, and cooking without seasoning and slightly mushy.
In the end, the taste really made a big difference.
Among them, the taste of the system is the best. The one without seasoning has not changed in any way, but it is bland and has a burnt smell.
Since then, he has understood that the process of cooking is also very important, and it does not mean that it tastes delicious if it is cooked casually.
Chef Li nodded: "It's true that I overlooked this."
Tian Mingzheng went on to say: "If you really only need to control the time, it won't be so troublesome. There are still many things to pay attention to, just like Xu Yang said about the temperature problem, it is difficult to guarantee exactly the same."
"That's right, each chef has a different understanding of the dishes. The better the taste, the harder it is to imitate. If anyone can achieve the taste of fried home cooking, it is not so easy to cook better delicacies."
Xu Yang thought it would be really that simple.
If you can really cook food according to the standard, then you can spend time looking for the best way. If this does not happen, there is no real unified standard.
It's just that the dishes produced in this way will be relatively better.
"Xu Yang, I originally wanted to discuss it with you, but there is still a third dish that has not been prepared. Let's make the last mapo tofu first. We will discuss it when we have time."
Hearing this, some people were very envious.
The main job of the head chef is not to cook food, but to check the dishes, and there is not much time for discussion.
Now that I hear that I have to find time to discuss with her, this is enough to make people envious.
"Okay, then I'll make it quickly."
When Xu Yang was cooking, he had a feeling that the taste was not as good as it was during the assessment. I don't know if it was because of the cauldron.
But the overall taste is definitely not a problem.
After a while, Mapo Tofu will be served.
Sure enough, it was the same as I felt. First of all, the color is not as good as the fried dishes in the afternoon, and the smell is also not as good as the dishes that went down for assessment.
There is no way, this is a staff meal, and it must not be fried separately, it would be a waste of time, anyway, it passes the test in terms of taste.
"Okay, the dishes are ready, let's eat."
Everyone has been prepared for a long time, wanting to see what Xu Yang, who has been praised all the time, tastes like.
"good to eat."
"I'm going, this is too delicious. The fish-flavored shredded pork makes me think there is fish in it for seasoning. It's so similar. There is also mapo tofu, which melts in the mouth."
"It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best twice-cooked pork I have ever eaten."
Those who were surprised were those who hadn't tasted it in the afternoon, and those who knew it was delicious were eating it, and there was no time to talk.
People who have eaten it think it's normal to see them like this, because they will have the same reaction in the afternoon.
After being surprised, they also reacted and ate quickly.
After eating for about 5 minutes, Wang Yuangang, who was sitting next to Xu Yang, whispered: "Xiao Xu, I feel that the taste is a little worse than the one in the afternoon."
"Master Wang, it seems that you have tasted it. It may be that the amount of frying was too large at one time, which slightly affected the taste."
"Normal." Wang Yuangang replied and continued: "Sometimes when I stir-fry staff meals, the same happens. It's almost home-cooked. To be honest, it's not easy to cook to this extent, but there's no problem. I don't pursue staff meals. Taste, it’s okay to serve meals to customers.”
"Of course, cooking food for guests will be more serious."
When it was about to end, Tian Mingzheng also came over and whispered this.
Xu Yang was not surprised.
Although the difference in taste is not obvious, you can find it as long as you taste it carefully.
For example, the mapo tofu has loose pieces, and it feels like it has been fried. It is difficult to avoid stir-frying in a large pot.
Also explained the reason to him.
The reaction was the same as Wang Yuangang's, but he was asked to pay more attention when cooking later, not to be particularly delicious at one time and ordinary at another.
It may taste ordinary, but I am afraid that the taste difference between the two times before and after is very large.
After eating, it was 10 minutes after 5 o'clock, which was only a 5-minute delay. For those who should have gotten off work at 9 o'clock.
Worth it.
Still very worth it, thanks to the announcement to stay for dinner instead of leaving directly from get off work.
