In an instant, the unique aroma of oysters spread throughout the kitchen!
All the kitchen helpers swallowed hard when they smelled this!
When cooking normally, this precious oyster juice is only added in a little bit to enhance the flavor.
Now Chef Cui actually puts such a big spoonful directly into the pot, how delicious must this dish taste?!
However, although they are kitchen helpers, they also know the disadvantages of this dish, choy sum.
That's because the earthy smell is too strong. If too much oyster juice is added, it will be too salty and choking.
But if you put too little, it won’t be able to cover up the earthy smell in the heart of the vegetable.
The balance in between is actually very difficult to control.
Anyway, with their current experience and cooking skills, they can’t achieve perfect control!
I don’t know if Chef Cui can do it.
However, these kitchen helpers were also smart and looked at Fang Erniu's expression.
Fang Erniu nodded subconsciously, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Suddenly, all the kitchen helpers smiled!
It turns out that this is the dosage of oyster juice!
When the oyster juice was bubbling in the pot, Chef Cui scooped a few large spoonfuls of water and poured it into the pot.
Then several spices were added to the pot to enhance the flavor.
When the soup in the pot boils and bubbles, Chef Cui prepares a bowl of thickening sauce and pours it into the pot along the edge of the soup!
The soup quickly thickened, and Chef Cui scooped out the soup and poured it over the
Drain the water and place it on the green cabbage on a plate!
"It's done, Chef Fang, please enjoy!"
Chef Cui couldn't help but look a little proud.
He was the first to finish the dish, and he performed extremely well.
He was confident that his dish would definitely beat out all the other blanched choy sum dishes of his colleagues!
At the same time, the other three chefs had also finished blanching Chinese cabbage.
It's not just Chef Choi who's proud.
The other three chefs were also a little proud.
Since this is blanched Chinese cabbage, no chef in the world can completely remove the earthy smell from the cabbage.
Doesn’t that mean that all chefs in the world cook this dish in the same way?
As long as their cooking tastes better than others, they can enter the palace and cook for the emperor, empress, queen mother and others!
If you can make a delicious dish that everyone praises under such circumstances, you will definitely be able to enter the imperial kitchen in the future, bring honor to your family, and become successful!
"Next, let's start tasting the food."
Chef Fang spoke calmly and came to the cutting table nearby.
Four chefs came over with their own "specialties" and placed the four dishes in front of Chef Fang.
Eunuch Wang took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Chef Fang. The four chefs suddenly became inexplicably nervous.
And next to the stove where no one was paying attention.
Xiao Qingluo was also making his own boiled cauliflower.
The steward assisted Xiao Qingluo and also took care of the work of lighting the fire and pulling the bellows.
In a moment of carelessness, Manager Su smeared wood ash on his face without even realizing it.
Lu Changgeng looked at Manager Su's miserable appearance and raised a slight smile on his face.
However, no one cared about the three of them at all.
Fang Erniu picked up a piece of blanched Chinese cabbage made by a slightly younger chef and put it in his mouth.
After just chewing it for a bit, he frowned and spat the cabbage heart in his mouth into the泔水袋 beside him.
"It tastes like chewing wax, and the flavor is okay, but the earthy smell is about 70% gone. Not good."
Fang Erniu also tasted the blanched Chinese cabbage prepared by the next two chefs, then spit it out with a frown.
The same goes for comments.
None of them work.
When it came to Chef Cui, he smiled.
He is confident in his cooking skills and experience.
Moreover, he retained the most original characteristics of the ingredients, which is the crisp taste.
Although the earthy smell of the choy sum is not removed enough, the soup will definitely taste great!
Comparing the two, this one will definitely get a higher and better rating overall than the blanched choy sum of the other three chefs!
Chef Cui looked at Fang Erniu expectantly as he tasted the food, a winner's smile already appearing on his lips.
After swallowing the choy sum in his mouth, Fang Erniu said calmly: "It tastes great, crisp and refreshing.
The soup tasted good, but overall, it was just okay, nothing amazing, but barely acceptable.”
As soon as these words were spoken!
Chef Cui looked ecstatic!
The opportunity has come!
Show yourself in front of the emperor, enter the imperial kitchen, and your chance to stand out has come!
But just then!
Xiao Qingluo laughed heartily, as if he was showing off his most beloved treasure to others: "Haha! The blanched choy sum is ready, you two come and try it!"
As Xiao Qingluo spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up one and put it in his mouth to taste it!
The one who is close to the water gets the moon first!
While eating the blanched Chinese cabbage in his mouth, Xiao Qingluo narrowed his eyes into slits, like a crescent moon!
When Lu Changgeng and Manager Su saw how delicious the food Xiao Qingluo was eating, they looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Lu Changgeng frowned and asked Manager Su in a low voice, "I've eaten this once before. It has a strong earthy smell. Is it good?"
Steward Su thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Maybe the girl likes vegetarian food and can tolerate a bit of earthy smell occasionally. Your Highness, let's try it so as not to spoil the Queen's mood."
Lu Changgeng nodded: "Bring me some chopsticks."
Manager Su took the chopsticks for Lu Changgeng and himself, and looked at the red and green dishes that Xiao Qingluo handed to him. He was very impressed by the appearance of the dishes, the neat and tidy presentation, and the smell of the dishes.
The freshness of the heart and the fragrance of the soup.
For a moment, I was so greedy that I couldn't help swallowing my saliva!
The two looked at each other, then one of them picked up a piece of vegetable heart, put it in his mouth and chewed it!
moment!
The two men's teeth were like clockwork, chewing quickly without stopping for a moment!
The two of them had their eyes wide open, filled with deep surprise and even a hint of joy!
"tasty!"
“How can this vegetable be so delicious!”
"There's not a single earthy smell, and not only is this dish incredibly delicious, the freshness and crispness of the choy sum fills your mouth after swallowing it. It leaves you wanting more, and you'll want more!"
“I can’t get enough of this dish even if I eat it every day!”
Manager Su wanted to snatch the plate from Xiao Qingluo's arms and eat to his heart's content!
Lu Changgeng said nothing.
But the chopsticks kept reaching into the plate in Xiao Qingluo's hand and kept putting food into his mouth.
Xiao Qingluo's smile grew wider.
There is nothing more joyful than having others praise and recognize the food you cook!
Just as Xiao Qingluo and the other two were immersed in the process of tasting delicious food and satisfying their appetite.
They didn't notice at all that Fang Erniu, Eunuch Wang, four chefs, and a group of kitchen helpers were looking at them speechlessly.
