Chapter 71 The So-called Three Fresh Vegetables
Each ingredient has different ingredients, different cooking methods, and different seasonings and heat are required.
It’s simply unrealistic to expect precise quantities and timing.”
If Chinese food is to be cooked well, it depends on the control of the heat.
Of course, the choice of ingredients is equally important.
But as the saying goes, even the best ingredients will be ruined if the chef cannot control the heat.
Unless it’s a cold dish.
But is a Chinese chef who can only make cold dishes still a chef?
After hearing Jian Yan's words, Luo Yang's forehead was covered with sweat. "What if I can't control the heat?"
"practice."
Jian Yan said firmly, "You all actually have a solid foundation.
It’s just that the spicy crab I taught you to make is a new dish and you are not familiar with it yet.
Only then will you feel that you cannot control the heat.
No one can help you in this situation. You can only practice. The more you practice something, the more proficient you will become.
The feeling came up.
I have confidence in you.”
Okay, let’s practice.
As Jian Yan said, nothing can stop you from getting perfect through practice.
The problem Tang Zhen and his friends had was similar to Luoyang's. Either they added too much of a certain seasoning, or the heat was either too high or too low.
Josh was even more exaggerated. His crabs were actually burnt. Jian Yan couldn't figure out how he did it.
After reviewing the crabs of several people one by one, Jian Yan waved his hand tiredly, "Practice, there are plenty of Zerg outside, don't worry about wasting. When you can practice well enough with me, I will teach you other methods."
Tang Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is there another way?"
In short, “···”
There are many ways to prepare and eat each ingredient. Take the most common green leafy vegetables for example. They can be stir-fried, mashed with garlic, blanched, put in hot pot, etc. They can also be used as side dishes. This is common sense.
Why does it sound like Tang Zhen is saying that there is only one way to cook one ingredient?
Suppressing her doubts, she said calmly, "Chinese civilization has eight major cuisines and countless special dishes and snacks. Do you know these?"
"Know."
"Knowing this, why do you think there's only one way to cook an ingredient?"
Tang Zhen and the others were stunned.
Several people looked at each other and fell into silence.
After a while, Luoyang, who was the first to come back to his senses, said blankly:
"The eight major cuisines only exist in historical documents. We have never seen them, so we only know which eight they are. Our master tried to restore them according to the documents, but failed."
“Yes, my master specializes in light-flavored dishes.
The dishes he made were praised in the empire as the food closest to nature, preserving the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent possible.
The most famous one is the "Three Fresh Vegetables" dish made with cucumber, tomato and soybean.
In short, “···”
To be frank, she had never heard of such a dish in all her life.
Except for the cucumber, the other two ingredients are wrong.
"My master is good at making traps..."
"What?" Jian Yan couldn't help but interrupt Qiao Xi. Was it the secret she was thinking of?
Perhaps shocked by Jian Yan's incredulous expression, Qiao Xi was stunned for two seconds before he said weakly, "The filling is the one that can be boiled in water to make it rich and delicious."
Jian Yan began to understand what he meant.
She asked in surprise, "Is it the kind of filling where you chop fish or other meats, add seasonings, mix them evenly, then shape them into balls and boil them in water?"
"Yes, that's the filling."
