208. Overwhelming and immature ideas(2/2)
Since the size of the small yellow croaker is not very large, only the innermost core of baby cabbage is wrapped in its abdomen.
Li Xiao did not eat the fish first, but used chopsticks to pick out the belly of the fish and the stuffed baby cabbage.
As a chef with many professional skills, he knows very well how delicious this kind of food that absorbs a lot of ingredients and has original juice is.
The baby cabbage has become transparent at this time, and you can smell the strong fish fragrance if you get close.
If you didn't look at it as a dish, Li Xiao would even think it was a piece of fish.
Zhao Yue, who was standing aside, saw that the other party did not eat the meat directly, but went straight to the baby cabbage in the belly of the fish. She knew clearly that the other party was indeed not an ordinary person. At least he had a good understanding of what tasted delicious.
The transparent baby cabbage was dipped in rich yellow juice. The portion of the baby cabbage was not large. Li Xiao blew a few breaths on the steaming baby cabbage and then threw the whole core of the baby cabbage into his mouth.
The yellow sauce has a strong chicken flavor. After all, it is the chicken juice that can be stewed by a whole chicken. The flavor of turmeric powder is very strong, making it seem a bit too strong?
Li Xiao frowned slightly, which even overshadowed the original taste of the chicken juice, and seemed to be overshadowing the original taste of the chicken juice.
The baby cabbage is very sweet because it has absorbed the fish juice of the small yellow croaker, and it has a lot of umami flavor. Overall, it is quite satisfactory.
Picking up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, the fish meat of the small yellow croaker is very delicate, with a slight Huadiao aroma, it is very refreshing and tastes quite good.
The only drawback is that there is too much turmeric powder. Although after adding turmeric powder, the color of the yellow juice becomes golden and rich, which is very beautiful.
In addition to providing a beautiful color, turmeric powder also has the function of adding fragrance and removing fishy smell.
However, the strong ginger flavor suppresses the umami flavor of the chicken juice and the sweetness of the fish, which is a bit outweighing the gains.
After all, He Beibei uses quite good ingredients, enough fresh food, and it is impossible to produce too much fishy smell. There is no need for a strong ginger smell to cover up the fishy smell. A little Huadiao wine is enough to completely cover up the fishy smell.
enough.
He hesitated for a moment, and although the [Steamed Fish with Yellow Sauce] was above the standard, he still waved.
He called He Beibei from far away. He Beibei kept paying attention to Li Xiao's side. When he saw Li Xiao raising his hand, he quickly put down what he was doing and walked closer.
Li Xiao thinks it’s better to talk about other people’s advantages first.
“Whether it’s the approach or the concept, it’s actually quite good.”
“The bones of the small yellow croaker are obtained very cleanly, and the meat inside is not too damaged. The chicken juice is very fragrant, the small yellow croaker is very sweet, and the baby cabbage is sweet with a fishy aroma, which is quite good.”
"Only the addition of turmeric powder makes me a little confused. The golden color is indeed very good, but the strong ginger flavor is a bit superfluous."
"If the original umami flavor of this steamed fish is 10 points, then after adding turmeric powder, its umami flavor is only 6 points."
After listening to Li Xiao's words, He Beibei showed a confident smile this time,
"This is because Mr. Li Xiao is ignorant. The reason why I use turmeric powder is to consider its fishy smell. You must know that customers may not finish it all at once."
"That's why I added turmeric powder to the yellow sauce. In fact, turmeric powder is not the only pigment that can make the sauce turn yellow, but after thinking twice, I decided to add it."
"Actually, when I added the turmeric powder, I had already considered that its ginger flavor might mask the freshness of the ingredients, but there was nothing I could do about it."
Li Xiao did not continue to speak, staring at the small yellow croaker wrapped in yellow juice.
Indeed, as He Beibei said, if the fish is cooled too quickly, a fishy smell will occur once the fish is cold. If the fish is kept heated, the fish will become old and the soft and tender feeling will disappear.
Adding turmeric will suppress the overall umami flavor, but not adding turmeric powder may cause the small yellow croaker to become fishy in the later stage.
And with the comparison of before and after, it will make the latter taste more fishy. This is indeed a dilemma.
Li Xiao frowned slightly. This is indeed a problem that is not easy to solve. So, is there any way to only make the second half of the small yellow croaker taste like ginger?
While Li Xiao was thinking, he used chopsticks to fiddle with the pitiful, weak and cute little yellow croaker in front of him. The juice on the surface of the little yellow croaker kept falling on the plate as it was stirred, and suddenly an idea appeared in front of him.
No, it was his mother's words that appeared in front of him.
When eating fish, you must finish the top part first and then turn it over, otherwise it will be rude. You cannot turn around and eat the bottom part first just because you want to eat the bottom part.
This sentence is like a light, illuminating a new path.
Li Xiao quickly asked,
"Are there any more small yellow croakers and chicken juice?"
Although He Beibei didn't know what the other party was going to do, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the other party might have to play in person.
She nodded quickly
"Of course, do you want it?"
Li Xiao stood up from his seat,
"I have an immature idea in my mind, let's try it and see if it works."
Normally, if someone had said such words to Li Xiao, He Beibei would have been unable to hold back his temper and would have fought with him directly, in a chef's kitchen.
First he rejected the other party's cooking techniques, and then he had to demonstrate it himself.
This is not a naked slap in the face, this is simply riding on the opponent's face and doing crazy output.
However, with the previous foreshadowing, He Beibei not only did not hit anyone, but she even looked forward to what kind of food the other party would cook.
She quickly followed Li Xiao and said to the stunned Zhao Yue beside her,
Chapter completed!
