Chapter 969 Improve the taste, the father-in-law stir-fries(1/2)
The reason why Yang Zhiyi left was that it was difficult to disturb the elderly’s private rooms, and on the other hand, it was because his daughter was more at ease staying in Suji to play.
After all, tomorrow is the weekend, and it’s okay for the children to sleep a little later.
At this time, in Su Ji's kitchen, Feng Yifan and his father-in-law began to prepare another dish.
This is another dish that requires the joint collaboration between the father-in-law and son-in-law, "Vinegar Shred Mandarin Fish".
I heard that Feng Yifan and Su Jinrong were going to make this "Vinegar Shred Mandarin Fish" again, so the chefs in the kitchen naturally gathered next to me again, wanting to take a closer look at the making of this dish.
For fresh mandarin fish, Feng Yifan specially purchased a wild mandarin fish this time.
This mandarin fish is more lively, and the more important thing is that the meat will be tighter and not very big.
Feng Yifan was busy with fresh mandarin fish from slaughtering to various cleanings. The whole process was full of life, and the others could only watch it from the side, and they basically couldn't get involved.
When Feng Yifan was cleaning, Su Jinrong had already prepared the slurry.
After Feng Yifan cleaned the mandarin fish and marinated it, he could directly sizing and fry it with the batter prepared by Su Jinrong.
While frying the mandarin fish, Su Jinrong also began to cook sour sauce.
But this time, the method used in Su Jinrong's cooking process is different.
First, I made a stir-fry sugar color. When using vinegar, I first used aged vinegar. After frying to make the aroma, I also added various ingredients to make it boiled together, and finally some lemon were added.
The process of boiling this sour sauce is very different from the previous collaboration with Zhuang Daozhong.
However, almost all the people in the kitchen focused their attention on Feng Yifan's side, watching how he fryed the mandarin fish, but they ignored Su Jinrong's side.
Feng Yifan saw that everyone was watching from his side, and finally couldn't help but smile and remind him.
"You guys, it's useless to just look at me. The soul of this dish is still on the sour sauce of your master. The so-called vinegar and vinegar, of course, the key is to boil the vinegar sauce. If the vinegar sauce tastes bad, then the dish will not taste good in the end.
As for the fish I have, I don’t have much skills in actually, and basically just fried a whole fish.”
Hearing Feng Yifan's words, everyone quickly crowded behind Su Jinrong to see.
When Su Jinrong saw everyone coming to watch, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Hahaha, this dish is not something you can learn overnight. I don't think it will be possible to learn it once or twice. Everyone should work hard and learn it from your chef when they have time."
At this time, the orders in front were also reported through electronic devices.
Hearing the sound, Shi Jiahui also quickly said: "Okay, OK, everyone is going to work. Don't always stare at the chef and uncle. You can learn this dish when you have time."
Shi Jiahui spoke, so naturally everyone could only reluctantly return to their respective positions.
When everyone in Suji's kitchen went back to cook, Feng Yifan's fish was almost fried.
He also took the fish out of the oil pan and put it aside to control the oil first and let it cool a little.
Then he took a plate, placed the fish on the plate, then sucked some oil from the surface with oil-absorbing paper, and smeared the fish slightly while it was hot.
It is also to loosen the fish meat and bones so that the vinegar sauce can penetrate directly into the fish bones when it is drizzled.
By the time Feng Yifan's plastic surgery was almost completed, Su Jinrong's vinegar sauce had also been boiled.
The rich color and the fragrance that spreads really make everyone in the kitchen unable to help but take a few sips of the fragrance.
At the end, Su Jinrong also cooked some balsamic vinegar to further enhance the fragrance.
Next, pour vinegar sauce on the fried fish bit by bit.
When the hot vinegar sauce encounters the same hot fried fish, the instant smell bursts out, it seems like a strong vinegar-scent bomb.
Feng Yifan waited for his father-in-law to finish the vinegar sauce, and quickly brought the fish into the tray and buckled it with a lid.
In this way, it is like locking the fragrance in it.
Then, Su Jinrong glanced at the time and immediately said, "Go away, send it up quickly."
The key to this dish is to ensure the temperature of the dish. If it is cooled, the dish will taste completely two flavors.
Su Jinrong walked in front, and Feng Yifan also quickly followed his father-in-law.
This time, the father-in-law and son-in-law almost trotted upstairs.
When Feng Yifan went upstairs, he did not forget to remind his father-in-law: "Dad, please wait a little bit. I'll go and serve the food first, so you don't have to be so anxious."
But Su Jinrong still did not slow down, and the father-in-law and son-in-law seemed to be in a hurry to go upstairs.
When he arrived at the private room and opened the door and entered the private room, Su Jinrong was even a little breathing.
Feng Yifan naturally stepped forward and put the dishes on the table. Then he also said on behalf of his father-in-law: "The third dish "Vinegar-Sweet Mandarin Fish".
When the two old men heard the name of this dish, they lit up again.
Zhuang Daozhong even said: "Okay, here it is a big dish. Senior Brother Su also relied on this dish to really shock everyone."
Mr. Zhu said: "Lao Zhuang, I remember you and Master Su were the cooperation back then?"
Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "Yes, I was the one who cooperated with Senior Brother Su at the time. I was responsible for the fried fish at that time, and then Senior Brother Su was responsible for boiling the vinegar sauce."
After sniffing the fragrance, Mr. Zhang said, "Well, it really smells like Master Su made it back then."
Zhu Lao said: "Yes, it's the fragrance, which has a strong jealous smell, but it's not that pungent and sour, but it's very attractive, and it smells like it will emit water."
Feng Ruoruo looked at his father and grandfather and asked, "Dad, did you and grandfather do it together?"
When Feng Yifan heard his daughter ask, he smiled and replied: "Yes, it was done by my father and grandpa."
Yang Xiaoxi asked curiously: "Do you have to make this dish together?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, this dish needs to be made by two people together."
Chen Yaofei exclaimed: "Wow, then this dish is so difficult."
Feng Ruoru immediately said: "It's not difficult to have grandpa and dad."
The little girl's words made the elderly present happy again.
Zhu Lao smiled and said, "Hahaha, our Feng Ruoruo really believes in his grandfather and father. It seems that his grandfather and father are indeed very powerful."
Feng Ruoru immediately said: "Yes, yes, grandpa and dad are both amazing."
Yang Xiaoxi followed and said, "Dad Feng is so amazing."
Chen Yaofei nodded: "Yes, Dad Feng is the most powerful, and Grandpa Su is also very powerful."
After receiving praise from the three little girls, Su Jinrong also laughed and said, "You three grandpas who praised you are embarrassed."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "Jinrong, you don't have to be embarrassed, the children are right."
Mr. Zhang also said: "Yes, the children are not wrong. Just these four cold and four honeys today have shown your strength. There are three consecutive dishes. Every dish is really good at it, especially in seasoning. It is neither salty nor light. This is the real skill."
Zhu Lao said: "Jinrong, although you have not been able to attend the state banquet like your father because of some circumstances, it is even more valuable that you can hold on to these flavors in your own restaurant."
The words of the three old men also made the other old men present agree very much.
Feng Jiandong said: "Old Su, if you were not for you, Yifan would not be able to do what you are today, so your strength is beyond doubt."
Lu Cuiling was even more direct: "No, without you as your master and father-in-law, Feng Yifan would probably be a street gangster. How could he become the chef Feng today?"
When Su Jinrong heard the words of the two in-laws, he smiled and said, "You are so serious in-laws."
Maybe I am the one who led Yifan into the door, but the success he has achieved today is inseparable from his own efforts. He has truly emerged from the top."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you talking about me again? Didn't you praise my father-in-law tonight? Don't you mention me anymore. I'll give my father-in-law a lotus tonight."
Feng Yifan's words immediately made everyone laugh again.
After laughing, Feng Yifan also came forward in person and quickly took the fish apart with chopsticks.
Then, it was also distributed to everyone's small disc.
This is also convenient for everyone to taste.
This time, Su Jinrong did not leave early, but waited for the two old men to come from afar to taste it, wanting to listen to the evaluation given by the two old men.
When they were eaten, the two old men savored the taste carefully.
Mr. Zhu sighed: "It's delicious, but it feels better than it was before."
Mr. Zhang said: "That's right, it's really more delicious."
Zhuang Daozhong was a little surprised after tasting it: "No wonder, no wonder my previous vinegar sauce didn't taste the same as it was back then. It seems that the ingredients in it are wrong?"
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Uncle Master, your ingredients are actually not wrong. When my father made them, it was your set of ingredients. But after several research, my father adjusted the seasoning of some ingredients, and finally the version we have today."
Zhuang Daozhong was a little surprised: "So that's it. Senior Brother Su didn't give up on research when he came back."
Su Jinrong nodded: "Yes, after my father came back, he has been studying it and has made some adjustments and improvements to many dishes."
Mr. Zhang said: "Master Su is indeed worthy of admiration."
Mr. Zhu agreed: "Yes, Master Su's research heart is worthy of learning by many young chefs."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "It is not only worth learning from young chefs, but we also need to learn."
After everyone tasted it, Su Jinrong and Feng Yifan thanked each other, and then came out of the private room together to continue preparing the next dish.
After Feng Yifan came out with his father-in-law, he asked in the corridor: "Dad, will the next three dishes be a bit too much?"
Su Jinrong replied: "It doesn't matter, we control the amount. Basically, everyone has one serving of the dishes after that, and there is no need for too much."
Feng Yifan thought about it and felt that his father-in-law’s arrangement was correct.
