Gourmets of the Heavens - Chapter 612 Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Spicy and Salty
Onion, ginger, and garlic are prepared on one side, and the other iron bowl contains very simple things, salt, sugar, light soy sauce, cooking wine, starch, and sesame oil.
The most critical ratio of salt, sugar, and soy sauce is not complicated.
Calculated as one part of salt, three parts of sugar and four parts of light soy sauce are enough.
Then mix a spoonful of starch and cooking wine with these things, if the sauce is too thick, you can add two spoonfuls of water.
When all the seasonings are dispersed, the most critical bowl of juice is finished.
The key to an uncomplicated taste lies in how to control the shape of the taste, and the addition of tomatoes is Zhao Youqian’s genius.
In fact, this is not Zhao Youqian’s original creation. Adding some sweet and sour flavors of natural vegetables to such a strong flavor can definitely make the flavor of the cuisine even better.
The sauce has been made, so Zhao Youqian naturally started to make the last dish of the day.
When a spoonful of soybean oil was added, the temperature of the already red-hot iron pan suddenly dropped a little.
First add minced ginger and chopped green onion, wait until the aroma of chopped green onion is stimulated by the hot pan, then add minced garlic, wait until the smell of garlic hits your face slightly, then immediately put the chopped peeled tomato into the iron pot.
At this time, it is necessary to stir constantly, and only in this way can the tomato truly release its own flavor, and continuously evaporate the water to concentrate the flavor again.
While stirring by the way, the tomato powder will not stick to the pan due to high temperature.
The fragrance of tomatoes wafted out, quickly waking up the diners present, and their gazes came together, but Zhao Youqian did not have any changes in expression or movement.
On the contrary, because of the simple pot of tomato sauce, many diners only felt that their appetites, which were already somewhat satisfied, seemed hungry again.
“Yes!”
“A sour taste is just right for re-opening the palate after a rich stew.”
After Zhang Xiaofan carefully tasted his portion of stew, and smelled the tomato being fried until it melted, he couldn’t help but increase his appetite.
Obviously he just ate a lot of stew, and he already felt a little full.
Now I feel the hunger in my stomach again.
“No matter how it is blended, the richness of the ingredients and the richness of the soup will still increase the burden on the taste buds, but under the sour taste, even if I haven’t tasted the actual taste, just the aroma makes me look forward to it It’s a dish”
“The chef once said that cooking must consider the whole meal, not each dish. I probably understand now.”
Zhang Xiaofan, who was talking to himself, didn’t realize that after the stew in front, the blackness between his brows had gradually dimmed, and even the three forces in his body that couldn’t be fused at all began to fuse slowly.
Just like the ingredients of that dish, there is me in you, and you in me.
The fire burst, setting off Zhao Yougan’s face behind the kitchen like a god in the fire.
The minced tomatoes in the pot had completely dispersed and turned into sauce, so he knew the time had come!
Instead of adding the sauce directly, put all the ingredients into the wok first.
Potatoes and eggplants are soon dyed with a layer of sweet and sour tomato color, and then the sauce is added. Because of the starch, fry it quickly on high heat, and the rich juice hangs directly on every piece of food. At this time, put the fried green pepper into it again.
Turn on the firepower to the most violent level, and flip the spoon quickly, so that people can only see the three ingredients colliding with each other in the pot.
The bright gravy hangs on the ingredients, as if it has been covered with a layer of glaze.
The golden light gradually rose, and the peak light came from Zhao Youqian sprinkled another layer of minced garlic before it came out of the pot.
Under the rich golden radiance, the earth cracked and thundered, as if the sudden arrival of spring, the ground began to grow lush vegetation, fruits and vegetables.
That special appearance was enough to surprise every diner, even Hong Yi and Lao Tianshi were quite surprised.
‘It’s the third way! ‘
These two often come to Zhutian Restaurant to taste the dishes. You must know that Zhao Youqian usually only cooks one dish a day, even if it is to make Lin-level dishes.
But even if it is the last dish today, it is a down-to-earth Lin-level cuisine, whether it is a vision or a Lin sound, it can be said to be very complete.
This is no ordinary sign.
“Could it be, the manager’s cooking skills?”
The old heavenly master touched his long beard, a little surprised.
You must know that at their stage, even the way of cooking can be seen. The so-called cooking is just an extension of the way.
But the more they reached their level, the more difficult it was to make further progress. Could it be that Zhao Youqian could break through again in a short period of time?
“It’s hard to say, it looks like it doesn’t look like it, and I don’t know what kind of stimulation it is, or what.”
“It’s a good thing anyway, isn’t it?”
Hong Yi is more open-minded than the old heavenly master. Recently, he is not only practicing martial arts, but also dabbling in immortality. He has a high demand for vitality. The higher the quality of Zhao Youqian’s cooking, the happier he is.
This kind of good thing that does not damage the foundation, even makes up the foundation, and helps to break through, he would rather have more than too much.
Others’ realms can’t keep up with their strength, but he does the opposite. The realm of Dao Xin is already enough, but it’s because the vitality resources for cultivation are not enough.
If it wasn’t for the help of Zhutian Xiaoguan, he might not be able to support the realm of a martial saint.
Not to mention that now the Immortal Dao of Soul and Immortal has reached the realm of driving things after practicing.
In the world of Hongyi, martial arts are divided into the foundation building realm of “training meat, tendons, skin, and bones”, followed by innate talents who practice viscera, great masters who refine marrow, martial saints who exchange blood, and human immortals who refine apertures and boxing intentions. And the final crushing vacuum.
Immortal Dao refers to the realms of entering meditation, coming out of the shell, traveling at night, traveling in the day, expelling objects, manifesting form, possessing bodies, ghosts and immortals, thunder disasters, and Yang gods.
The two run side by side, occasionally intersect, but both can reach the peak. On Hong Yi’s side, the real strong is the existence that both paths have reached the top.
This is also the reason why Hong Yi started to learn the Immortal Dao when Martial Dao reached the realm of Martial Saints. Even if he hadn’t obtained the top-level method, Hong Yi had already started to visualize and build a foundation.
All kinds of changes in Hong Yi’s body, the old heavenly master naturally knew, so he laughed and scolded,
“You are more open-minded than the old man, but this dish…is not the same as the ground three delicacies that the old man knows.”
It turned out that Zhao Youqian had already brought up the last dish during the gap between the two of them.
The ground three delicacies that were emitting white smoke were constantly changing in color, and more importantly, the original soy sauce-colored three delicacies were dyed a little bit of bright red.
Scenes of scenes of the four seasons of life circulate above the dishes, as if the five flavors of the market contain ups and downs, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.
