Chapter 452 Teaching Cooking

466
The two were in a state of turmoil, and when they were promoted to sous chefs, they not only paid more than apprentices, but also could learn more skills from the chef. If they were really demoted back to apprentices, wouldn't everything go to waste?

The two sous chefs were very afraid that Ke Hanxue's next words would be as they had guessed, so they hurriedly said: "Young lady, the two chefs said that they will slowly teach us cooking skills, but the restaurant business is good these two days , the chef can’t spare himself to teach us, and when the two chefs are free, we will definitely ask the two chefs for advice, and we won’t be lazy.”

Ke Hanxue smiled slightly and said: "Since you are so self-motivated, I will teach you two dishes each, so that you can stand up in front of those apprentices, how about it?"

The two sous chefs were taken aback: "Young Mistress, you... you want to teach us how to cook?"

The faces of the two sous chefs were full of surprises and uncertainties. They had also seen the cooking skills of their own proprietress, which was many times higher than the skills of the original three chefs. If they could get her guidance, they would be wish for it.

"That's right, I've seen the original menu of our restaurant. Except for a few signature dishes, the other dishes are too ordinary. My husband and I have also discussed and plan to change the menu. Not only the names of the dishes, but also the recipes of the dishes. , so I want the two head chefs to each have three main dishes, and as sous chefs, you must have at least two dishes that you can handle well, even if you are apprentices, each of you must have one main dish .”

"Young Mistress, what do you mean, you not only want to teach us how to cook, but also teach the apprentices how to cook?" The two sous chefs finally understood what Ke Hanxue meant.

"That's right!" Ke Hanxue smiled, and said again: "Because it's not time for dinner, I'll teach you how to cook two dishes first."

Ke Hanxue said, picked up an eggplant from the big kitchen, and said: "The first thing to do is to make an eggplant box."

"Eggplant box?" The two sous chefs looked at each other. They had never heard of it. The two of them didn't work as cooks every day, and they also worked as cooks for many bosses. But the eggplants were always cut into eggplant slices and fried with meat. Where did they hear anything? "Eggplant box"?
How did Ke Hanxue know what these two people were thinking, and she didn't know that in this dynasty, the rich and noble people, including cooks, only knew how to make more tricks on meat ingredients, but ignored that vegetables can actually be delicious.

Ke Hanxue didn't waste any time, quickly removed the stems of the washed eggplant, then put it on the chopping board and cut it into double slices.

After cutting the eggplant, she took another piece of lean meat and chopped it into a puree. Put salt, cornstarch and a little broth into the meat paste and stir vigorously in one direction. After the meat paste was mixed, stuff the meat paste into the double eggplant In the middle, it becomes an eggplant box.

After the eggplant box is brewed, heat the pan, add oil, and fry the eggplant box until golden brown, then add broth, salt, soy sauce, and seasonings to the pot, cover the pot and simmer the eggplant box until soft, and put the mixed Pour the good thickened corn into the pot to collect the juice.

A golden-yellow, tender and mellow eggplant box with a unique flavor is ready.

The two sous chefs stared at the plate and swallowed their saliva, and sighed sincerely: "Young Mistress, you are so ingenious, you can actually make ordinary eggplants so beautiful."

After hearing what the two said, Ke Hanxue just found it funny. This eggplant box is nothing more than a home-cooked dish in modern times. Why did they surprise them like this?

"Don't look at this eggplant box. It's easy to make. It also has a few tricks," Ke Hanxue pointed to the eggplant box and said, "You also saw it just now. Thicken the eggplant, this is to prevent the pieces of meat in the middle from falling off when frying the eggplant box, and it is the same reason to apply cornstarch on the seal after the eggplant box is cooked, and it also prevents the eggplant from absorbing too much oil.”

"Young Mistress, can we try this eggplant box?" The two sous chefs finally couldn't bear the temptation of the aroma, and asked, they want to taste the taste of this eggplant box and the fried pork with sliced ​​eggplant. What a difference.

"Okay, try it, and show me after you try it." Ke Hanxue put the cigarette box on the stove.

The two chefs couldn't wait to pull out the chopsticks around their waists to pick up the eggplant box and taste it.

As soon as they entered the mouth, the two couldn't help but exclaimed again: "The taste of fried pork with eggplant slices is really different from that of this eggplant box!"

"Yeah, it's all meat and eggplant, but this taste is completely different!"

Ke Hanxue smiled and said: "Okay, you have tasted it, hurry up and make this eggplant box, and you should get busy again when the dinner is over."

"Yes, let's do it right away." The two sous chefs put another eggplant box into their mouths, and then picked up the eggplants and cleaned them.

The knife skills of the two sous-chefs seemed to have been honed after a lot of training. Although it was the first time to cut the eggplant box, the double slices they cut out were not inferior to those cut by Ke Hanxue.

The stuffed eggplant boxes also look very good, but when frying, the meat in some eggplant boxes fell out.

After doing it several times, the two of them really mastered the trick of stuffing eggplant boxes, and finally made a complete eggplant box.

Ke Hanxue tasted the eggplant boxes made by the two of them, and felt that the two people had some skills. Although they made eggplant boxes several times, no matter whether the eggplant boxes were brewed well or not, the taste was not salty. the same.

"Okay, it's pretty good." Ke Hanxue nodded with satisfaction.

When the two heard that the eggplant box they made had finally passed the test, they both laughed happily.

After Ke Hanxue finished his comments, he did not forget to add: "We can't be too rigid in business, and sometimes we have to be flexible. If some customers don't like pork, we can also replace the pork with fish or other meat. "

"Young Mistress, we remember your words."

"Young Mistress, what's the next dish you want to teach us?" The two asked anxiously again.

Ke Hanxue looked at the sky outside, saw that it was already evening, and it was time for dinner, so she said: "It's getting late, you go back to the big kitchen to help, and tomorrow I will teach you how to make pot-wrapped meat."

There are also tomatoes in this season, which are just used to make potted meat.

The two sous chefs had already learned a new dish, and when they heard that there was still cooking to learn tomorrow, they were not in a hurry, and went back to the kitchen excitedly.

In fact, the two sous chefs can also cook the dish of pot-packed meat, but they didn't admit it to Ke Hanxue. They wanted to see if the pot-packed meat taught by Ke Hanxue was the same as what they knew. .

The two sous chefs returned to the big kitchen, and Wang Sanshun, who was on the evening shift, also came. The two sous chefs reported to the two chefs that Ke Hanxue taught them how to make eggplant boxes, and made an eggplant box on the spot. Show everyone back.
