The fish fillets in the pot are basically cooked.
Su Wan said there was one last step left to do, and everyone's eyes were on the pot, trying to see if there was any way to make the dish taste better.
As they were talking, the water on the other stove had already boiled. Su Wan divided the bean sprouts next to it into two portions, one with more and the other with less.
Rinse with boiling water twice, then spread the bean sprouts in two large bowls that have been prepared.
The larger portion naturally went to the Imperial Household Department, and the smaller portion was left for Su Wan and Yu Shu.
But today it seems that the right honcho might also stay and give it a try.
After the bean sprouts are placed, the sauerkraut fish fillets are divided into two bowls, one large and one small. After the fish fillets are scooped out, the soup is poured on top. When it is almost poured, there is still some soup base left in the pot.
In this way, the golden soup pickled fish seems to be ready.
But there is one final step, and it is the most important one.
Heat oil and sauté until fragrant.
The right-hand man, Wei Jun and Yu Shu, stared closely at Su Wan's hands as she was cutting the ingredients. They sprinkled the chopped green onions, peppercorns and chili peppers on the sauerkraut fish.
On the other side, the pot that was originally used to blanch the bean sprouts was also cleaned, and then the oil was heated.
When the oil temperature rose, Su Wan picked up the oil pan and poured it directly on the chopped green onions, peppercorns and chili peppers.
Instantly, the aroma of hot oil burst forth and penetrated directly into everyone’s nostrils.
The fragrance could even drift up to the palace.
So fragrant!
How can it smell so good?!
After the last step is done, a clear and golden sauerkraut fish soup is ready!
Oh my God, they have been in the palace for so long and have never smelled such a good smell.
As soon as they smelled these flavors, saliva subconsciously secreted in their mouths. If it weren't for You Zhizhang being here, Wei Jun and Yu Shu would definitely want to try it!
Once this dish is done, the rest are easy to make, and garlic baby cabbage is even simpler.
But the right-hand man's eyes lit up when he saw it.
After the water in the pot boils, put the baby cabbage directly into the steamer and start steaming it, so as not to destroy the shape of the baby cabbage.
While steaming the baby cabbage, I started making the honey apple soup, which is a sweet soup.
Peel and core the apples, cut into small pieces, and put them into water boiling over low heat. Stir while pouring in an appropriate amount of scented tea. The honey apple soup made in this way will be sweet but not greasy, and have a more refreshing taste.
Su Wan said to Shu: "After the apple flavor comes out, pour in the honey and stir gently."
After saying that, Su Wan returned her gaze to the baby cabbage.
Being able to cook two dishes at the same time and still be organized is a rare skill in the kitchen. Most people get flustered when cooking a dish and don't know what to do next.
Moreover, Su Wan's instructions to everyone were very clear, and everyone did as she said, so the kitchen was absolutely in order.
She is just a twelve-year-old girl, but she has such ability.
The Right Hand Man watched and felt that even if she was just average at cooking, with that ability she could definitely be a manager.
While Aunt Feng Ping, the right-hand man, was thinking, Su Wan had already started making garlic paste.
Small red peppers, chopped green onions, a handful of garlic, and seasonings such as soybean paste, sugar, shrimp powder, soy sauce, and a little salt.
Directly put the chopped garlic into the oil pan and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the small red pepper and chopped green onion.
Finally, pour the seasoned sauce directly into it.
After a little frying, you can smell the fragrance.
At this time, the baby cabbage has been steamed and placed in two plates, one large and one small.
Spread the fried ingredients evenly on top.
The golden baby cabbage is topped with yellow minced garlic, red pepper, and emerald green onion.
Everyone who sees this dish will praise it.
And this delicious dish can be prepared in less than a quarter of an hour.
Place the garlic-stirred baby cabbage next to the golden soup pickled fish, and both dishes are ready.
The honey apple soup next to it can also be turned off.
However, Su Wan fished out the rotten apples and flower tea bags, replaced them with freshly cut apples, and casually sprinkled some dried flower petals on them for embellishment.
The apples and tea bags were overcooked before, and they didn’t look good at all.
This soup was also placed next to the two dishes, and everyone realized that the main colors of the two dishes and one soup were so similar.
Golden soup, baby cabbage, apple soup.
Aren’t they all golden in color, which makes people full of appetite?
In April's weather, seeing such a meal would whet anyone's appetite.
Finally, the stewed rice was served, along with two dishes, a soup and a staple food.
Although the rice was a little soft, the rice vinegar made the grains distinct. Wei Jun covered his chest, feeling half excited and half sad.
Excitingly, he can eat these meals for lunch today!
The sad thing is that after today, I may not be able to eat these meals anymore!
Who made Su Wan’s cooking skills discovered by the Right Leader!
Because when the food came out, it had already been divided into two portions by Su Wan, so Wei Jun could just put the portion for the Imperial Household Department into the food box and take it away.
But Wei Jun kept looking back and almost asked the Right Minister directly if they could still eat the food cooked by Su Wan?
I originally thought I could keep it a secret for a while longer, but now it seems that it’s impossible to keep it a secret for someone with such good skills!
As soon as Wei Jun left, the only ones left were Su Wan and Yu Shu, the right-hand man, who were all from the west kitchen.
Su Wan took a look and said, "Aunt Feng Ping, do you want to try it together?"
She cooked two dishes and a soup, which was definitely enough for the three of them.
Besides, there is some leftover broth from the pickled fish, which would be great for soaking rice.
Feng Ping, the right-hand man, looked at Su Wan with mixed feelings in her heart. She was not here for the meal today, but she wanted to try Su Wan's cooking skills.
I didn't expect that when I was desperate to seek medical help, I actually went to the wrong one?
Thinking of this, Feng Ping subconsciously became a little excited.
Yu Shu, who was standing next to him, saw his expression and immediately put the food on the table next to him and also placed three stools there.
She had been hungry for a long time. If Right Hand hadn't been here, she would probably have started eating at the stove.
After the three of them sat down, the right-hand man started to eat first, followed by Su Wan and Yu Shu.
Everyone unanimously picked up the pickled fish fillets first.
The fish fillet is soft but not mushy, and can be easily picked up. The right palmist sighed inwardly, the vegetarian dishes are cooked but not mushy, and the meat dishes are tender but not boneless. This kind of dish is top-notch.
This fish fillet alone is good enough.
When the sauerkraut fish fillet was put into his mouth, he opened his eyes slightly. The fish fillet was tender and smooth, and the aroma of sauerkraut neutralized the blandness of the fish meat. Although peppercorns and chili peppers were added, the taste was fragrant and not numbing.
Whether it is chopped green onions, chili peppers, peppercorns, or even soybean paste when adding them to the pot, the purpose is to make the taste more complex.
It is tender at first bite, and fragrant when you take another bite. It is amazing that the fish meat can be made to taste like this, and the fish fillets are still tender and not falling apart.
With her skill in cooking fish, Su Wan could even gain a foothold in the inner palace.
You Zhizhang and Yu Shu both picked up the fish fillets. You Zhizhang had an expression of surprise on his face, while Yu Shu had a look of enjoyment on her face. She had known Su Wan's cooking skills for a long time!
Now it tasted so good, which was completely within her expectations.
So she totally enjoyed the food!
The two of them picked up fish fillets, and Su Wan tasted the sauerkraut. It was so delicious that it went so well with rice!
Homemade sauerkraut is delicious.
Seeing Su Wan tasting the pickled cabbage, Right Hand also took a bite and was instantly conquered by the pickled cabbage soaked in soup. How could the pickled cabbage in hot soup be so delicious?!
Next, the right hon. er and Yu Shu were no longer polite.
The tender fish fillets, the delicious sauerkraut, and even the bean sprouts served on top are very delicious.
He enjoyed the meal very much, eating every bite of food.
Of course, we didn’t ignore the garlic baby cabbage next to it. Because it was steamed baby cabbage, the overall shape was still very beautiful, and the steaming time was just right. The texture of the vegetarian dish was still there, and a special sauce was drizzled on it.
The taste of garlic sauce is delicious even if mixed with rice!
Speaking of garlic paste, Su Wan thinks of garlic crayfish. I wonder if I will have the chance to eat it this year. It is something that makes people drool.
The baby cabbage with garlic sauce is naturally very popular. Although it is a vegetarian dish, it is no less flavorful than meat dishes.
While Shu was enjoying the food, You Zhizhang was thinking of something else.
She had just seen how this dish was made, and the method of cooking baby cabbage with garlic sauce seemed very suitable for making a big pot dish.
After all, they have plenty of steamers in their western kitchen. After steaming, they can pour sauce on it and it seems that they can make a lot of dishes very quickly?
Even the method that Su Wan used to make pickled fish is suitable for making big pot dishes.
But she and Su Wan must have a good talk about what to do.
Aunt Feng Ping suppressed her excitement. They only had three months to run the western kitchen, and during these three months they had to prepare the meals well without a single complaint.
This condition was so harsh that Deputy Prime Minister Xi was about to give up.
There’s no way around it, there will be complaints in every kitchen.
Their western kitchen had no money, no people, and no ingredients, which made things even more difficult.
But if Deputy Prime Minister Xi left, the powerful nobles would definitely arrange for her people to come in, and then the food in the west kitchen would become even worse.
In the past, those in power would still have some scruples. Although they would deduct a lot of food, they would not let the palace servants who were taken care of in the western kitchen go hungry.
But if it was someone else.
I'm afraid the palace maids in these five places in the west will really have to eat coarse food.
Youzhizhang took a deep breath and looked at the two clean plates, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
She was an official of the sixth rank after all, so how could she eat so unbecomingly?
But even if the Deputy Prime Minister was sitting here, he would probably eat it all, since Su Wan’s cooking skills are so good.
Before the right-hand man stood up, a bowl of honey apple soup was placed in front of him.
The sweetness of honey, the fragrance of apple, and the sweetness of flower tea are all suppressed. After one sip, it is refreshing and relieves the greasiness. All the heavy-tasting things you just tasted are suppressed.
My stomach feels comfortable. This meal is both delicious and comforting.
She finally understood why Deputy Chief Chai, the Imperial Household Supervisor who had a bad stomach, liked the food cooked by Su Wan so much.
She really did have it all.
Not only is it delicious, but even the rice is steamed to suit Deputy Chief Chai’s taste.
It's a pity that with such skills, he is only assigned to work in the small kitchen of Deputy Manager Chai.
The west kitchen is the place where Su Wan is truly needed.
Who would have thought that the West Kitchen would have to rely on this little girl to improve the food.
There's nothing you can do about it, her craftsmanship is definitely beyond anyone's imagination.
The right-hand man put down the honey apple soup he had drunk, the fragrance of the scented tea still lingering in his mouth, and said slowly: "Su Wan, are you willing to be the chef of the Western Kitchen for a day?"
Before he finished speaking, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Supervision Office, who was coming over from outside, immediately said, "No!"
"Aunt Feng Ping, you can't snatch people away!"
Behind the Chief Steward of the Imperial Household Supervision were Deputy Chief Steward Chai and Wei Jun. The three of them had the same expression on their faces, all of which said, "We can't snatch her away! Su Wan is theirs!"
The right-hand man Feng Ping was very serious at first, but now he stood up and raised his eyebrows and said, "Su Wan is originally from the West Kitchen. How can you say she is being robbed?"
It's obviously you who are stealing the talent!
The skinny little Su Wan looked up at the three people from the Imperial Household Department, and then at Aunt Feng Ping, the Right Inspector standing in front of her.
What is this doing?
Yu Shu looked on in amazement.
What can you do! Everyone knows that Su Wan is good at cooking, so they are here to snatch her away!
