Gourmets of the Heavens - Chapter 607 Surprised White Beard
Wisps of meatballs wafted out, even if they were only semi-finished products, even if they were not even semi-finished products, they had already attracted the attention of many regular diners.
Especially those who like to drink, although Zhao Youqian often changes the types of cold dishes and the ingredients of braised dishes.
But after eating too much, there will still be some similarities in taste. At this time, new dishes appear, especially the old gourmets like Hong Qigong, who are fascinated by the fragrant taste.
“Just this aroma, you can go with a pot of wine!”
Hong Qigong didn’t know if he had settled the matter on his mind, but he looked extraordinarily heroic today.
He actually started to drink with Baibeard directly, but luckily he was still a little clear-headed, knowing that he should stay sober to taste Zhao Youqian’s dishes, so he didn’t get completely drunk.
Now that I smell the aroma of slow-cooked meatballs, I have taken another step from the wine country.
“It’s really delicious, and it’s not the same as the dishes I’ve eaten in the sea!”
White Beard also nodded. At his level of cultivation, it is easy to control his voice. He didn’t suppress his voice before, and he simply wanted to see what kind of place this place is.
Now that it has been seen that it is really a restaurant, of course he doesn’t have much vigilance left.
“However, it is not that simple to satisfy the old man’s stomach!”
Hong Qigong didn’t say anything to refute, but everyone who has doubts about the taste of Zhutian Restaurant’s food will eventually be conquered here, which is considered a custom.
He will not destroy this tacit understanding.
On the contrary, he finally solved the problem in his own world, and even though he drank to his heart’s content, even if it wasn’t half of his usual level, he was already drunk.
Zhao Youqian naturally noticed Hong Qigong’s strangeness, but he didn’t ask about it before cooking. Anyway, it seemed like a good thing, so there was no need to be too entangled.
Seeing the temperature in the oil pan rise gradually, Zhao You knew that it was almost done.
The oil temperature should not be too high or too low. Put the eggplant box into the pot at a medium-low level, cook at a medium-high oil temperature, and then fry at a high temperature to force off excess fat. This is the basic principle of frying vegetables.
Even if it is stuffed with meat, the eggplant box is also a vegetable fried food, so it is natural to pay attention to this.
The golden oil pan has already started to emit smoke, and when Zhao Youqian put the batter down, it quickly bubbled up, and he knew that the oil was hot enough.
From experience, of course he knows the approximate temperature of the oil, but one thing must be kept in mind when cooking.
Otherwise, even if it’s Longchu, the gourmet king may overturn.
A pair of very long wooden chopsticks picked up the eggplant box that hadn’t been coated with batter, and then turned it around in the pan full of snow-white batter next to the oil pan, and then shook it slightly twice.
Shake off the excess batter, and slide the batter-coated eggplant box directly along the edge of the oil pan.
Just hearing the sound of rain slapping on the leaves, you know that this piece of eggplant box has been fully wrapped by the oil pan.
The chopsticks don’t stop, don’t look at Zhao Youqian is only using a pair of chopsticks, his speed is really fast.
In a short time, a large pot of eggplant boxes has been floating on the upper layer of the oil pan.
It is not all fried at one time, at least there is enough to fry three or four times, but it is also necessary to consider the problem that the temperature of the frying pan will be lowered after the fried food enters the frying pan.
Zhao Youqian is not that greedy either, only by frying slowly can the quality be guaranteed.
Seeing the batter outside the eggplant box gradually solidified, then turned white, then dyed a light yellow, and after three or four minutes, it completely turned into lemon yellow.
Zhao Youqian knew that the first batch of eggplant boxes was almost finished.
But at this time, although the eggplant box was crispy, it still didn’t meet Zhao Youqian’s needs. First, pick it up and put it on the oil-absorbing paper prepared earlier to drain the oil.
By the way, also remove all the floating batter residues that spread out in the oil pan.
When the oil temperature rises again, the second batch of eggplant boxes are put in again.
Don’t look at the small action of taking out the batter residue, but it is related to the fact that the oil in the oil pan can be reused several times, and whether the taste of the next few batches of fried food is the same as the first batch.
Soaking and frying in oil for a long time will make the batter sticky and bitter, which is also the key to causing carcinogens in the oil.
Try to do this step well and keep the oil pan clean, which is also one aspect of making the fried food lighter.
While frying, while ensuring the quality of the oil in the frying pan, this is what cooks should pay attention to.
But even Zhao Youqian didn’t expect that the number of eggplant boxes he made this time is really quite a lot. He fried four big pots and piled up the fried eggplant boxes into a hill, which even attracted some people who already had belly fat. Hungry Tanjiro’s attention.
Smelling the aroma of fried food, Tanjiro, who had great trust in Zhao Yougan’s craftsmanship, was a little hard to restrain.
Fortunately, at this time, Nezuko came out with the little girl who had already looked brand new.
Otherwise, Tanjiro would have to sneak a piece and taste it first.
It was also because of the little girl’s reappearance that Zhao Youqian could take the next step with the gap.
Otherwise, most of the diners would be staring at that hill of eggplant boxes, and he couldn’t guarantee that he could completely protect this pile of food.
The oil temperature was raised again until it was above 175 degrees, and it was also put in in batches, but this time Zhao Youqian prepared a huge leaking net, the eggplant box should not be lowered for more than 20 seconds, otherwise it will confused.
‘Must be fast! ‘
Eyes fixed on the oil pan, Zhang Xiaofan, who had already put the cooked meatballs and soup into another pot, acted as a toolman again, and put the eggplant boxes from the hill pile about a third of the way into the oil pan The amount of one.
In an instant, the sound of “patter, clatter” sounded like a thunderstorm hitting the ground.
A strong fried aroma wafted out.
More importantly, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared, and there were a few shouts of farmers, making the diners present seem to have come to a summer vegetable field.
The fresh earth fragrance, the vines climbing on the brackets, and the black pigs leisurely going back and forth underground.
It is simply a perfect pastoral scenery.
“Can cooking create such a vision?”
Hearing, sight, smell, the Holy Trinity, even if White Beard didn’t eat it, it seemed as if he had already entered the pastoral field.
Even the little girl who just came out looked at everything around her with big dazed eyes, exuding a childlike side, and even waved her hands left and right, trying to chase those black pigs in the countryside.
And it was at this time that Zhao Youqian picked up the leaking net in his hand and fished out the eggplant box from the oil pan at once.
The unusually strong aroma of fried vegetables wafts out, which also means that the dish of fried eggplant box has been completely completed!
