Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 274 Drunken Shrimp and Brewed River Fish

"Could it be that you are mentally retarded?" Zhang Fei gave Wang Yong a supercilious look when he heard the words, "Don't you just hear the name?!"

"I'm just curious, why wine is added to each dish as a seasoning?" Wang Yong said with a smile. With Zhang Fei's little sister-like appearance, he really didn't think it was strange to say such words.

As for these dishes, it is not just as simple as seasoning with wine, it is completely made of wine as the main ingredient!At least, the proportion of wine in the dishes is relatively large!

"So are you stupid?" Zhang Fei looked at Wang Yong jokingly, "Will an excellent chef reveal his secrets to others casually?"

Wang Yong was speechless for a moment. He knew very well that Zhang Fei used wine as the main ingredient, and the purpose was naturally to enhance freshness.Just like when cooking, one of the purposes of adding Shaoxing wine is to enhance freshness.In addition, when cooking meat, adding wine can produce an esterification reaction and help dissolve fat.At the same time, an ester with a special aroma is generated, which makes the dishes fragrant but not greasy.

He will be curious, mainly because of Zhang Fei's cooking, which has obvious directionality.Like him, he basically doesn't focus on a certain cuisine and cooks whatever he thinks about; Zhang Fei is different, her dishes are all centered around wine!
In fact, Wang Yong didn't know that he didn't seem to specialize in a certain cuisine. In fact, for so long, the dishes he cooked were all popular dishes, so it's okay to say that he focuses on popular cuisines.It's a pity that he didn't realize it...

"Hmph!" Xiahoudun was upset. Isn't it slapping her in the face when others say that about her husband?
Looking at Zhang Fei unkindly, he said in a slightly teasing tone: "People who have no skills are naturally worried that their skills will be learned by others! People who are really capable, of course, don't mind sharing it with others! My husband, but Publish the cooking skills of steaming and frying, as well as the method of making pasta for free, and everyone can learn and use it for free. Not to mention recently, several high-yield crops, the recipe said to be free, let it go out !"

"Are you that big fool?" Zhang Fei spoke bluntly, and immediately looked at Wang Yong curiously after hearing the words.

"Yide!" Guan Yu couldn't stand it any longer. The third younger sister had excellent culinary skills, martial arts and painting skills, and she was not stupid, but this personality flaw was a bit obvious.Continue to let her speak, and must offend the dead.

"It's worth it!" Zhang Fei restrained himself a little after being shouted at by Guan Yu, "You are a great kind person, and you should be ashamed of yourself for giving such a precious recipe to others for free, can you do it?!"

"Everyone..." Liu Bei was about to cry again, "Why don't we have dinner first?"

"That's right, let's eat first!" Lu Su also echoed, he was already hungry.

The first is the appetizer. Drunken shrimps are not cooked. Take fresh river shrimps directly. After washing the sediment, cut off the shrimp guns, whiskers, and feet slightly. Choose a large bowl with a lid and pour rice wine into it. In a large bowl, quickly cover with a lid.At the same time, mix it with ginger and garlic, seasoning sauce, and mature vinegar, and set it aside for later use.

The prawns will jump in the bowl at first, and the reaction will be strong, and it will slowly subside after a while.At this time, pour the seasoning into it until there is no movement in the bowl, and you can start eating after opening the lid.The key is to eat it while it is fresh, preferably half a day.

Eating raw is not a strange thing in Chinese food culture. There has been the eating method of "chicken" since ancient times.

It can only be said that the parallel imports in mountains, rivers and rivers have more or less parasites in the back. The understanding of parasites in ancient times is not comprehensive enough, but they suffered a lot of disasters, so they gradually stopped eating 'kuai'.

The island country is close to the sea, and there are still relatively few parasites in seafood, so "chau" has been carried forward in the island country, and sashimi or sashimi has gradually become a representative of island country cuisine.In the culinary concept of the island country, the best ingredients, only "chicken" is the best way to taste them.The best wagyu beef, sweet shrimp, etc. are sold in the form of sashimi.

"These shrimps are actually raw?" Xiahou Dun looked at the shrimps on the plate. There were only six or seven shrimps in total. After all, they were just appetizers.Just seeing that the shrimp is still pure white, his face suddenly turned aside.

"I've said it all, these are drunk shrimps! These shrimps are all drunk to death in the wine!" Zhang Fei laughed loudly, "Why, I dare not eat them because they are raw?!"

"This shrimp is very delicious, and the proportion of condiments is completely prepared according to the golden ratio. It seems that General Zhang has also experimented many times?" Wang Yong picked up one, bit down, and chewed. One side praised.

The taste of sauce and vinegar that cannot be ignored, in fact, it would be better if some chili is added.The shell of the shrimp can be ignored. The shell of the uncooked shrimp is not so hard. After biting it, the umami taste explodes, and the shrimp meat is very tender.

This is a good appetizer, Wang Yong is even looking forward to the next dish!
"Chef Wang, you really have the guts!" Seeing that Wang Yong didn't hesitate, Zhang Fei started to eat directly, and was also very satisfied.

"It's nothing, I've tried it before, not only drunk shrimp, but also drunk crab." Wang Yong replied casually.

"I'm a drunk shrimp, but I've registered with the chef's guild!" Zhang Fei reminded directly.

"So I didn't cook in public and sell at the same time. If I wanted to, I would consciously pay patent fees to the Chefs Guild." Wang Yong said frankly.

When he said that, Zhang Fei couldn't say anything, as long as he didn't cook publicly, the patent protection didn't matter that much.I can't, just rely on a so-called 'patent protection' to deprive all the people of the right to cook, right?
The second dish is usually chicken or duck. If Wang Yong chooses wine as the main ingredient, he will definitely think of beer duck.The problem is that there is no such thing as beer in this world, so let's not think about it for now.

In fact, Huadiao Drunken Chicken is also a good choice, and sesame oil Drunken Chicken is also good. Perhaps the previous dish is Drunken Shrimp, or Zhang Fei doesn't know the concept of Drunken Chicken, so he didn't cook it.

So for the second dish, she chose Jiuniang river fish, which is called Li in the traditional name.Cooked by steaming, the umami of the fish is mixed with the umami and sweetness of the wine.

When the assigned dishes were served, there was a faint aroma of wine, which was the aroma of sweet wine.Egg, wolfberry and red date liqueur is a tonic for beauty. In the age when there is no sweet food, many women like it.Of course, it's about the same now.

"The aroma of the wine is pleasant. It's rare that it didn't destroy the smell of the fish. It's rare!" Lu Su is an excellent food critic. The moment he picked up the fish, he held it to his nose and smelled it. He was very satisfied with the taste.

After taking a bite, the taste of wine is very strong, and the sweetness and aroma of fermented rice rushes to the face, which instead brings out the fragrance of fish.After the sublimation of shredded ginger and scallions, you can vaguely feel the taste of Shaoxing wine inside.

The sauce is even more magical. It condenses everything together. The umami taste in the wine blends with the umami taste in the fish. It's hard to resist eating more!
But when he came back to his senses, he realized that the fish on the plate had been eaten before he knew it... The aftertaste lingered on the tip of his tongue, soothing the sense of loss after eating, and immediately looked forward to the main course even more.
