Chapter 63 I want to prepare myself

Back to the resting place, Xu Yang was not affected by the incident just now.

Or it won't have an impact.

The first thing he thought about when he came back was to prepare the various ingredients needed for the evening.

"Zhang Yang, you have nothing to do now."

"No, is there anything to do?"

"It's like this. One of the dishes to be cooked is husband and wife's lung slices. Although there are beef offal that have been stewed in the kitchen, in order to ensure the best taste, I decided to start from scratch."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang replied without hesitation: "You can make arrangements, and I can do whatever I want."

It used to be a three-course meal, but now it’s husband and wife lung slices and fish-flavored shredded pork.

The fish-flavored shredded pork is okay, all the ingredients are available on site, and they can be cooked directly at night.

He doesn't need to worry about the freshness. Special personnel will check all aspects of the ingredients every morning and evening.

Those with problems will be picked out. If problems are not detected and discovered, the consequences will be serious.

Therefore, we will ensure to check it more than twice every time.

Not to mention the taste, at least the ingredients are very fresh and can pass the test perfectly.

Husband and wife lung slices are different, this dish takes more time.

The cold dressing process is quick and can be completed in a few minutes, but the ingredients will take at least an hour or two to cook.

Although it is five-star, no matter whether it is the first time or later, he only needs to perform the final seasoning and is not involved in the previous process of cooking the ingredients.

Since there is no full cooking process, the effect will be partially discounted. The discount is about half, which is almost between two stars and three stars.

In this way, at best, it is better than two-star dishes, but not as good as three-star dishes.

If Xu Yang cooks the whole process, it will be a complete five-star dish without any discount on the taste.

Before, it was because there was too little time, so I couldn't do the whole process by myself.

There are still about three hours left before the evening meal, which is enough time.

Since there is no five-star mapo tofu, use five-star husband and wife lung slices instead, and they will be surprised after tasting it.

This is why Xu Yang wants to start from scratch.

Just do it.

"Okay, if you have no questions, I'll say something else."

Then Xu Yang said: "You follow me temporarily for the past two days, and come to the boutique to help out tonight. Don't worry about the kitchen. You can rest for the morning tomorrow. I will talk to Chef Tian about this matter."

When leaving, Tian Mingzheng still told Xu Yang to take half a day off, excluding Zhang Yang.

Xu Yang felt that he should be allowed to be his assistant so that he could devote more energy to cooking dishes.

They knew that Xuyang Mapo Tofu was good, and they also knew that the other two dishes were good, at least they had an explanation.

Xu Yang did not refuse the half-day break.

Rejection will not change the situation, nor will it change the attitude. Why not rest when there is a rest time.

"okay, I get it."

"Start preparing now. You go to the kitchen to get things ready. You are going to entertain the chef's very important guests. All the ingredients must be the best."

Zhang Yang agreed, and then left to let the kitchen prepare as soon as possible.

With the title of head chef, the best things will naturally be used, and you can choose carefully.

Xu Yang decided to bring out the five-star taste of Husband and wife's lung slices, and pay attention to the raw materials as well.

After a while, everything was ready.

When he came to the kitchen, Xu Yang first checked all the ingredients.

Check carefully one by one, and start cooking after confirming that there is no problem.

The main ingredients of the dishes are related to cows, namely cow scalp, beef heart, beef tongue, tripe and beef.

If you don’t know this dish, or it’s the first time you hear it, you might think it’s made from pig’s lungs or other heart and lungs.

There are not a lot of raw materials, because Xu Yang prepared it for the evening, which is almost two servings.

The first step is to blanch all the raw materials.

Blanching is a very common process in cooking.

Put the raw materials to be processed in a boiling water pot until they are half-cooked or fully cooked, and nothing will be left in it during this process.

The main function is to remove blood stains, odor or other odors from meat.

If it is cooked directly, the color is one aspect, and the most important thing is that it will have other flavors when eaten, which can easily affect the overall taste of the dish.

The blanching in this step is done in cold water.

Generally, hot water pot is suitable for vegetables that don’t need to be cooked for too long, and cold water pot is definitely needed for cooking meat.

Put all the chopped beef offal into the pot, add water to submerge the meat inside.

Then turn on high heat and boil.

After the fire boiled, the beef offal kept rolling in the cauldron, and Xu Yang kept skimming off the foam during this process.

After almost no foam, Xu Yang fished it out.

Followed by the second step, marinating.

The spice package Xu Yang is ready.

The spices inside mainly include peppercorns, cumin, grass fruits, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., and some of them are not put in a lot.

Most spice packs are pretty much the same, and there are only so many spices that can enhance the flavor anyway.

Boil water in a pot. After the water boils, Xu Yang puts in spice packets, cooking wine, salt, ginger and other seasonings in turn.

Then cook like this for about half an hour.

This step is to fully release the fragrance of the spices, so that the taste can be better in the next step.

After the aroma rises, the third step is to put all the blanched beef offal into it.

At this time, it needs to be cooked over high heat, and the taste of the spices must be cooked in.

After waiting for about 30 minutes, Xu Yang changed to a small fire.

Continuing to cook over high heat, all the beef offal is probably overcooked before the flavor comes in.

Change to a low heat to cook, you can slowly cook in the aroma.

"Zhang Yang, you can go and rest for a while now, there is nothing busy here."

It is estimated that it will take about an hour to cook on low heat, and the time may be extended or advanced according to the taste.

The next thing to do is to wait, he can go to rest for a while.

"Xu Yang, anyway, the main thing is done, you should go and rest for a while, I will just assist you at night, and you will be the one to do the work."

Xu Yang shook his head.

"You can go if you have nothing to do. This dish is very important. I'd better keep an eye on it myself."

Seeing Xu Yang's resolute attitude, Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll rest next to you, and call me if you need something."

Xu Yang stayed here to watch, and Zhang Yang couldn't leave, so he rested not far away.

He couldn't leave, worried that it would affect the taste.

The system did not specify whether it is possible to leave and wait in this situation, or must wait in place, nor did it specify whether to let someone else replace it.

Just because he didn't know, Xu Yang felt that he should be more careful.

Just stay here and don't leave even half a step, it shouldn't affect the star rating of the food.

If this place really affected the taste of the dishes, Xu Yang wouldn't even have a place to cry.

Mainly because I have never experienced this kind of situation, so I don't know the specific situation.

There are very few dishes that take a long time to cook like husband and wife lung slices. Most of the ingredients are prepared and you don't need to do it yourself.
