Chapter 146 Admiration
The large seabass, which weighed more than ten kilograms, was nearly fifty centimeters long and could not be accommodated on ordinary fish plates. Fortunately, Ding Shiji's plates always have extra-large ones, which are as big as modern grilled fish on an iron plate.
At this moment, two long steamed fish were placed on the stone table in the courtyard, exuding an alluring fragrance.
The color of the plate is like amber, and the snow-white scallions on the fish are thin and even, spread very neatly, and soaked in the sauce color under the rapid steaming. It is simple and elegant.
The color of the other plate is much brighter. The scallions on the fish are green, slightly curled, and spread haphazardly on the fish. It looks quite crispy. The sauce at the bottom of the plate is much lighter in color than the previous plate.
There are some oily flowers, and the color is very lively.
Chef Bao, Manager Ding and the tea doctor in front of them were "appointed" as tasters. At this moment, the three of them were standing at the table with chopsticks, somewhat hesitant, as if they didn't know which one to taste first.
"I remember that this plate was made by you, Mrs. Qiao, right?" Chef Bao pointed at the plate of bright steamed fish with the tip of his chopsticks.
Qiao Yun nodded: "That's right."
"You three, hurry up and try it!" Xie Yutan greeted, "Tell the truth and don't favor me just because I am your boss."
"Yes! You're welcome then!"
The three of them took the lead in picking up a chopstick of fish meat from the elegant steamed fish, put it in their mouths and chewed it carefully.
tasty!
The owner's craftsmanship is as usual, the fish is chewy and the seasoning is simple to bring out the deliciousness of the fish itself. The simple cooking method is like the smoke and lights of every household, ordinary and elegant, and it is the most familiar taste to them.
“This is the taste that my boss is used to!” Chef Bao said with emotion, “It was this steamed fish that conquered the discerning tastes of diners! Otherwise, why would the fish in our restaurant sell better than other restaurants?
"
Manager Ding also excitedly echoed: "This familiar taste, oh! As soon as I eat it, I know that this is the dish of our Ding Shiji Restaurant! No one else can imitate it!"
Dr. Tea on the side nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious!"
He has never learned to cook and is not very literate. If you ask him to serve the guests at the front, he will be good at it. If you ask him to eat, he will know how to eat. But if you ask him to say one, two, three, then he will only know how to eat well.
The three of them swallowed the fish and savored the sweetness flowing in their mouths with great reluctance.
Try another plate!
They each rinsed their mouths with water to ensure that the aftertaste in their mouths was light enough that it would not interfere with the judgment of the other plate before taking off their chopsticks.
This, this is!
As soon as the fish was in their mouth, the three of them were immediately shocked!
"Such a tender fish! I've never seen you pickle it with egg white. How did you do it?"
Manager Ding closed his eyes intoxicated. The fish was so tender and tender! It was clearly the same kind of fish, but the meat of this fish was even more tender and smooth than the one cooked by the owner just now! And the meat was very juicy, so you could hardly put any effort into it.
Just sip the fish meat with your tongue and it will turn into the essence of umami!
Qiao Yun said with a smile: "It's best not to touch the fish with salty seasonings before steaming it! Just remove the fishy smell and don't even put salt on it!"
This is modern junior high school chemistry knowledge. Salt will increase the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid, causing water to move from inside the cells to outside the cells. Even a simple application of salt will destroy the taste of the fish. Sometimes it is this subtle difference that will make the difference.
The difference in the entire dish.
After taking a bite, Chef Bao couldn't help but pick up another chopstick of fish. How did he achieve such a fresh flavor? He clearly saw that Mrs. Qiao added rice vinegar to the sauce, but the fish had no sour taste at all.
!
Moreover, she used three spoons of raw soy sauce and one spoonful of cooked soy sauce when mixing the bowl of sauce. The salty taste of raw soy sauce is stronger, and if you are not careful, it can destroy the umami flavor of the fish itself, but this dish does not have such a salty taste.
shortcoming.
The seasoning of this dish is very clear. The spicy aroma of shredded green onions is first felt in the mouth, and then the salty aroma of the bowl of juice can be tasted. Finally, the delicious aroma of the fish itself is like a treasure wrapped in layers and finally exploded, which makes people want to stop!
"How did you achieve such three layers of seasoning? And you clearly added rice vinegar, so why didn't I taste the sourness?" He couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Yun was even more proud. She crossed her arms, shook her head and said: "Rice vinegar itself is not very sour, not to mention that I added very little, just to borrow a little sweetness from the rice vinegar. And you didn't notice that I added it before pouring the hot oil."
Did the shredded green onions be replaced with new ones? And the oil I used in the end was also flavored with peppercorns!"
"I see, I admire how such small details can lead to so many tricks!"
Jie Yutan listened with great interest.
It's been a long time since she heard such high praise from her subordinates.
She had finished arguing about the merits of tasting steamed fish. However, there were three judges today, so her eyes turned to the third person.
Tears filled Dr. Tea’s eyes: “It’s delicious!”
"Do you just say it's delicious?" Xie Yutan's eyes widened.
These two words are completely useless!
Dr. Tea nodded: "Yes! I know how to eat it, but I'm stupid and can't tell you anything!"
"Get up and go!" Xie Yutan took another pair of chopsticks on the table, pushed him away, and rolled his eyes at him, "I'm occupying the examiner's position for nothing, and the result is like this! You might as well let me do it.
!”
She couldn't wait to hold out her chopsticks to Qiao Yun's fish.
"I see, that's it... Whether it's the processing of ingredients or the combination of seasonings, your techniques are better than mine." Xie Yutan swallowed the fish in his mouth and sighed sincerely.
What?
The boss actually admits that his skills are inferior to others!
The three people on the side were stunned!
"but……"
Xie Yutan savored the deliciousness in his mouth and said, "Your method of using Sichuan peppercorns to add flavor to the oil is more suitable for my fish dish. The sedan itself has a numbing taste, and the sudden combination with fresh onions will make the taste slightly mixed. My dish is
The spiciness of the green onions has dissipated during the steaming process, leaving only the sweetness, which will not conflict with the pepper. And if your dish can use the fresh peppers you sent before, cut them and pour hot oil on them, the taste will be better.
I’m afraid it will be more unique.”
"You are still awesome." Qiao Yun gave a thumbs up.
In addition to being greatly influenced by her father, her cooking skills are also influenced by watching various food bloggers. Each food blogger has a different cooking habit, and her craftsmanship is also learned from one.
.
In her previous life, the two diners at home never dared to find fault with her, and there was no opportunity to discuss things with others here.
And Xie Yutan can taste her shortcomings with just one bite and point out ways to improve!
And she has only eaten chili peppers a few times? She can figure out the uses of chili peppers!
This is better than just following the script!
Xie Yutan smiled and touched her head: "But you can break away from the popular steamed fish method, which is already quite good! It shows how talented you are! We are two completely different steamed fish dishes. Maybe I
It is more in line with the taste of most people. With a slight modification, yours will resemble the flavor that people in the south of Dongting Lake often eat."
Qiao Yun was a little embarrassed.
Making steamed fish with spicy millet is indeed a bit like the way in Hunan Province.
"These two fish add up to twenty kilograms. You bring them to the store and let the guys in the store divide them." Xie Yutan pointed to the two dishes and ordered Chef Bao and Manager Cha to bring the two steamed fishes.
After sitting down, he looked at Manager Ding again: "Ding Quan, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to draft a document."
Manager Ding was shocked.
The boss is really determined to give away the dry shares!

This is a dish that I made some random cuts from after reading several recipes. Please don’t follow it seriously, qaq!
It's much better to find a serious food app and learn to cook from it than to read my nonsense!
Finally, as usual, I’m asking for monthly tickets, collections, subscriptions, full subscriptions (automatic subscriptions), okay (′3`)
