Chapter 767 Improve Su Jinrong's Status(1/2)
With the opinions given by Su Jinrong, everyone gradually changed their thinking and thought about how to make some innovative attempts based on traditional dishes.
And because of the guidance of a traditional old chef like Su Jinrong, it also makes it easier for everyone to master traditional cooking.
Gradually, in Su Ji's kitchen, everyone changed from thinking about how to create new dishes to replicating traditional dishes.
Among them, Su Jinrong and Shi Jiahui played a relatively critical role.
Both of them can be regarded as the best in traditional cooking skills.
Even though Su Jinrong missed many opportunities in his life and never left Su Ji, he is still absolutely top in terms of craftsmanship.
Shi Jiahui once heard his father's comment on this.
"If Su Jinrong could get out of Su Ji, he would probably be the top domestic chef who could name his father. It's a pity that he took too much family responsibilities and could not leave Su Ji."
So today, under Su Jinrong's guidance, a group of young people have truly witnessed the strength of top chefs in China.
As if he felt it was inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair and talk, Su Jinrong simply stood up.
Standing in front of the table with a cane, he said very seriously: "No matter what kind of food it is, whether it is Eastern or Western, in fact, when designing, you must abide by three principles. The first step is to review the material and braids, the second step is traditionally called "female matchmakers", and the third step is called "teaching according to your aptitude."
When everyone saw the old man standing up, they all looked in awe and listened very seriously.
But after listening to it, everyone was confused, not understanding why there was a saying of "female-like husband" and "teaching according to their aptitude"?
Seeing everyone's confusion, Su Jinrong explained: "When you look at a woman and a husband, you should use ancient marriages. Parents choose their husbands based on their daughter's talent and appearance. In other words, when we cook, we also need to match appropriate auxiliary ingredients and seasonings according to the main ingredients."
After hearing this explanation, everyone immediately understood and thought this statement was very interesting.
Su Jinrong then said: "Teaching according to the aptitude is not literally. Teaching according to the aptitude is what we say when cooking means cooking, we should cook according to different ingredients and different heat and methods."
After hearing these two explanations, everyone present nodded to show their understanding and began to plan in their minds.
Su Jinrong continued to say: "So if you want to design a new dish, you must first choose the main ingredients and determine the main ingredients. You must understand the advantages and disadvantages of the main ingredients. Here is the braiding material.
After that, based on its advantages and disadvantages, consider how to match auxiliary materials, which can highlight the advantages of the main ingredients and cover up the shortcomings, thus presenting a perfect dish with a taste.
Finally, we need to cook at the right heat according to the characteristics of the main and auxiliary materials."
Listening to Su Jinrong's lecture really made everyone present fascinated.
Not only young people, but even Shi Jiahui, a middle-aged chef who has been learning from the father of the top chef for many years and has been struggling in the kitchen for many years, was fascinated by the sound and felt that he had gained something.
After explaining these theories to everyone, Su Jinrong gave another example.
"Jiahui should know that there is a classic dish in Suji called "Red Crispy Chicken".
Shi Jiahui nodded: "Yes, I know, my father once said that this dish can be regarded as a master of thick-mouthed dishes, a real sweeping monk-level dish. It seems simple, but it is not easy to make it well."
Su Jinrong also nodded: "Yes, red crispy chicken is a difficult dish to prepare."
Then, Su Jinrong began to give everyone a separate explanation.
"First of all, the red crispy chicken, you can also see from the name that the main ingredient of this dish is chicken.
So what are the advantages and disadvantages of chicken?”
Hearing this question, everyone present looked at each other.
Then Ma Xiaolong said, "The chicken is more delicious, it will not contain high fat like red meat, it may taste healthier."
Su Jinrong nodded: "Well, it's basically right, but low fat content is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Because there is less oil, it will make the chicken taste dry and not thick enough. If it is used for a thick-mouthed dish, the taste will be a bit insufficient."
Everyone listened very seriously and knew that Su Jinrong was talking about very important professional points.
Su Jinrong continued: "We have understood the advantages and disadvantages of this chicken and finished reviewing the materials and braidings. Next, we have to match the chicken according to the dishes we want to cook to make up for its shortcomings, and at the same time highlight its advantages.
Red crispy chicken is a strong-mouthed dish, so we need to match it with auxiliary ingredients that add texture to it.
So I chose pork and shrimp, which adds grease and taste, so that the whole dish will be more delicious.
After choosing the matching ingredients, we need to combine these three things, so we borrowed a cooking technique from Shandong cuisine to make it into brew.
Chop the pork and shrimp into a paste, stir it with force, and then pour it on the chicken leg thighs that are flattened after bone removal."
As he spoke, Su Jinrong couldn't help but start gestureing, it was really like he was cooking.
Everyone in the kitchen was fascinated by the hearing, and when they saw Su Jinrong's movements, they also imagined the cooking scene in their minds.
"When the raw embryo is ready, the next step is to teach according to the aptitude. How to make the raw embryo shaped? That is, first, fry it with oil so that the chicken, pork and shrimp glue that are brewed together can be integrated into one.
In this way, the raw embryos are completely formed, and if you want to finally make a dish, you need to consider that the three ingredients need to combine the taste. Next, we need to use the red stew technique, pour the raw embryos and soup that have been prepared into the casserole, and simmer over low heat."
Describing the cooking process of the whole dish makes everyone feel that such a dish is indeed very particular.
Whether it is the brewing process in the previous process, the heat control in the middle, or even the final seasoning and stewing of the casserole, every step requires careful control. If you are not careful, this dish will be deviated.
After Su Jinrong finished speaking, he said, "Look, the cooking process of a dish is to follow this principle, so you cannot keep trying out of thin air, but think about how to make it first.
Yifan should have told you before that you will determine the main ingredients first and then try it out.
And I tell you all this today, I want to tell you to make sure that the main ingredients are not to choose a ingredient, but to understand this ingredient, understand the advantages and disadvantages of the ingredient, and then try them based on the advantages and disadvantages, how to make the advantages of the ingredient more prominent, and how to make up for the shortcomings."
After listening to Su Jinrong's words, especially the three principles of cooking before, everyone felt something, and seemed to have realized something.
Next, everyone did not try blindly, but everyone calmed down and thought.
Which ingredient should you choose as the main ingredient?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the main material?
What auxiliary materials do you need to match?
How to match the advantages and disadvantages?
Thinking about these issues gradually gave everyone some new directions, and Chen Xu, Luo Yu, Hans and Tom began to overturn their previous ideas.
Because after Su Jinrong's explanation, they discovered that there were too many shortcomings in their previous designs.
So several people also started to choose ingredients and directions again.
Even Chen Xu and Luo Yu took out the recipes they had prepared before and began to seek some new inspiration in the recipes.
Shi Jiahui helped Uncle Master sit down and whispered: "Uncle Master, it seems that you are right here today. We have given us some new ideas and ideas so that we will not be as blind as before. In fact, Yifan has said it a few times before, but it has not been valued by everyone."
Su Jinrong smiled and whispered: "Yifan, he did it on purpose and wanted me to teach you this lesson so that the young people can understand that I am his master, so that these young people should maintain respect for me."
Shi Jiahui was a little surprised when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Uncle Master was right.
Otherwise, with Feng Yifan’s current level, how could he not remind everyone of the importance of reviewing materials and braids?
He let everyone try it for a few days, and today he accompanied his wife to the hospital and asked his father-in-law to stay and see everyone try to make new dishes. It can be said that it is clear that his father-in-law wants to teach these things.
Su Jinrong shook his head and continued, "Yifan felt that these young people were famous before coming and had their own pride. He said directly that maybe they would also respect me, but it might be superficial, so he hoped that I would give some advice to the professor so that they could see my strength."
Shi Jiahui looked up and saw that these young people were really capable.
Not to mention Ma Xiaolong, Catherine, Hans and Tom, they had been with Feng Yifan in Perrvonce's restaurant, and even participated in Perrvonce's regaining of Samsung.
Even Chen Xu and Luo Yu have already made the dim sum to a certain level.
Master Chen Xu is a master of dim sum.
Luo Yu was able to make delicious desserts with his own talent and replace all the dessert teachers in the restaurant, which is enough to show that she is very outstanding.
So when such a group of people get together, they must have their own pride.
And their pride has been shattered by Feng Yifan, so they obey Feng Yifan and are full of admiration.
But apart from Feng Yifan, they may not have much respect for Shi Jiahui at the beginning.
It was not until Shi Jiahui created a new dish first and was successfully selected into the menu that they recognized Shi Jiahui and recognized her identity as the sous chef from the bottom of their hearts.
However, there is Su Jinrong behind Su Ji.
The old man's current physical condition must be impossible to cook again.
So how can we make these proud young people recognize Su Jinrong from the bottom of their hearts?
And you must be able to respect Su Jinrong?
Feng Yifan thought of such a way to let Su Jinrong teach those things he did not say, so that these proud young people understood that although Su Jinrong's physical condition did not allow it, he was still a top chef.
Shi Jiahui whispered: "Uncle Master, Yifan is also a good intention."
Su Jinrong responded with a wry smile: "But there is actually no need."
Shi Jiahui asked strangely: "How come it is not necessary? It is also appropriate to ask these young people to respect you. I think there is nothing wrong with Yifan doing this."
Su Jinrong said: "Su Ji, it's Yifan now, so what does it matter whether they respect me or not? As long as they respect Yifan and can help him manage Su Ji well under Yifan's hands, I think this is enough."
Shi Jiahui whispered: "Uncle Master, this is also Yifan's respect and filial piety to you."
Su Jinrong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "He, now he is also starting to play with these colorful intestines."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "How can this be considered a scheming? I think Yifan is filial to you, and when you see Yifan comes back, everything is arranged in an orderly manner. I think Ruoxi and Ruoruo all like him very much. Isn't that great?"
Su Jinrong responded: "Yes, after he came back, everything seemed to have changed."
Speaking of this, Su Jinrong looked at Shi Jiahui and said, "Maybe it's not that Yifan has come back. I may not be able to meet your father again in my lifetime, and you won't come to Suji, right?"
Shi Jiahui thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be that. My father actually often said he wanted to come back to see you, Master, because he had been too busy before and couldn't leave."
Su Jinrong said that he could understand: "Well, senior brother, he may be my father's best apprentice."
