What is the most important homework for a chef to cook?

Of course it is fire.

If the knife skills are not good, you can avoid dishes that require high-quality knife skills. If you don’t have the skill of carving skills, you can do it in the shape of pastry? That doesn’t matter, it’s okay to have a big meat inside the steamed buns.

But if you don’t control the fire skills well, you will not be able to do anything. The island country’s sashimi doesn’t have to consider the fire skills, but you can try eating sashimi for three meals a day, and you won’t kill you!

Although this "stewed lake food" is a combination of knife skills and fire skills. The chef has mastered it in a furnace, but in the end, it is still a control over the heat of fire skills. After all, it is the water in the pot, simmering through Houttuynia cordata, and heating the ash embers of a large pot of firewood. The control over the heat is even more complicated. Ling Zhenfeng failed countless times when he developed this dish, so he could have a clear idea and not a slight difference.

In addition to the "unspeakable nobles" who have been qualified to eat his "stewed lake food", Ling Zhenfeng has never made this dish ten times even when he cooked it at the state banquet. It can be guaranteed that it was the first time Zhou Dong saw it, but Zhou Dong looked at it a few times and said the time when the dish was cooked!

Ling Zhenfeng has repeatedly confirmed it. Zhou Dong said that the error should not exceed one second. This is because he was standing behind him and observing the fire color was not clear enough!

"No wonder even the rebellious genius like Huai Liangren gathered beside him. Yan Yi, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, lingered in Chu. This cooking skill is almost demonic!"

Ling Zhenfeng suddenly felt a little nervous. He wouldn't lose this game, right?

Impossible! The winner must be me, my baby kitchen knife...

In fifty-seven seconds, Ling Zhenfeng quickly took out the Houttuynia cordata omelette from the pot by taking chestnuts from the fire. After cutting it with a knife, a hot and fresh smell suddenly came to his face. The fish fillets inside curled up slightly after being heated, but the pieces were as white and transparent as beautiful jade.

After putting these fish fillets into several porcelain plates, Ling Zhenfeng first glanced at Zhou Dong and smiled: "Mr. Bai, Chef Huai, please taste it."

Everyone has a plate of fish fillets, and even the Dragon God was not left behind. Now, in Ling Zhenfeng's eyes, the Dragon God is a "comrade in the propaganda mouth", which is what we should pay attention to.

"I'll try it!"

When Zhou Dong praised Ling Zhenfeng just now, Huai Liangren was a little dissatisfied and kept holding it in. He just waited for him to find fault with him. He took the porcelain plate and quickly picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, he was stunned. He turned to look at Zhou Dong and said, "Can fish be made like this?"

"Of course it's OK, but this is the taste of fish."

Zhou Dong was savoring it carefully. With the perfect taste skill activated, he still didn't find the problem of "stewed lake food". Some of them were secretly applauding, "What a fish king in Five Lakes. I guess I had a 90% chance of winning against him, but now it seems that it's only about 80%.

If you put aside your comprehensive strength and don’t consider it, just talking about this stewed lake food, I’m afraid it’s not that you already have the level of a master?’

The dragon god beside him had a sound like a moan. It was so delicious, it was simply touching. This kind of touch was like when I first ate Goubuli, egg cake, braised and cooked!

He is just a food writer and not a professional chef, so he naturally cannot use professional language to evaluate it. If he has to say it, just two words - pure!

Why do these two words appear, but even he himself can't explain clearly.

"After entering the simmering lake, it is like tasting raw fish sashimi, fresh and sweet, and its fragrance is just right. In fact, this is the taste that the fish sashimi of ancient my country and the sashimi of the island country today are committed to pursuing..."

Baiwei was full of smiles when she ate her face, and the two dimples suddenly became deeper: "Many people like to eat sashimi, but many people cannot understand the meaning of this dish. Its significance is actually to keep the original tender, fresh, sweet and sweet fish as much as possible, and at the same time remove the fishy smell that has not been cooked and not pressed with various side dishes and spices.

Whether it is the old sauce dipping sauce from ancient my country or the mustard soy sauce used in the island country, they are all created for this purpose.

Because sashimi is not cooked, these seasonings will not penetrate deep into the fish, affecting the original deliciousness of the fish, but does it really have no impact at all?

Not only there, but also great!

But in this simmering lake, I saw a genius chef suppressing this influence to the minimum, almost zero! It can be called the wonderful chef of the world!"

Is it such an exaggeration?

After all, he was the president of Zhou Dong's Food Aid Association. Master Long instinctively wanted to refute it, but when he thought of the smell just now, he closed his mouth again.

After carefully savoring what I felt just now, this old guy who had two dimples seemed to be right?

After the fish fillets were in the mouth, they seemed to be tender and not like the ingredients that had been cooked. They were like salmon fillets cut by an extremely skilled chef with fine knife skills. Moreover, the Chudu grass carp is a freshwater fish, which is naturally more tender and sweet than sea fish, and does not require any soy sauce and mustard. The fresh aroma of the fish meat in the mouth made him, an outsider, fully feel what it means to be a real lake food!

Apart from the faint salty mouth, the delicate touch of fish meat and the light fresh fish, there was no strange smell anymore. The Dragon God subconsciously blew upwards, and a tempting fragrance suddenly came to his nose, which made him feel that his mouth and tongue had become the most delicious food in the world...

Baiweisheng looked at Zhou Dong and smiled and said, "If you only look at this 'stewed lake food', Lingyu King would be well-known.

If I were asked to give a score, I would give it a full mark on weekdays! Because this dish is close to the way of food, it already has some meaning of "returning to the original and returning to the original". What do you think, Chef Zhou?"

"Haha, Master Ling's stew is the real stew.

Through the Houttuynia cordata, we use the heat of the stove to simmer the fish fillets, so that the fish fillets seem to be ripe but not cooked, and they are not cooked. In fact, it is to use this kind of firepower to make the fillets reach a critical point. After a little, it becomes ordinary cooked food. A little less is just a better sashimi. The grasp of this point is called simmering!

What is particularly rare is that in order to maintain the original taste of the food, Chef Ling did not use onion, ginger, garlic and some common spices, but instead took several kinds of fish to neutralize each other and used Houttuynia cordata to remove the fishy smell. It was much more clever than forcibly suppressing the fishy smell, which made me very admired..."

"It's really an over-the-top award. Chef Zhou is my soulmate."

Ling Zhenfeng's eyes were shaking when he heard it. Zhou Dong was the comment from an expert in the circle. It was very different from the comments made by Baiweisheng from the perspective of a gourmet. He could start with the way of making this dish. Every sentence was said on the point, which made him feel like a close friend.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to find a confidant, but he has to plot against other people's treasure kitchen knife. Is this a bit too much? Ling Zhenfeng is rarely ashamed and feels a little sorry for this young master.

"But I still can't quite understand..."

Zhou Dong looked at Baiweisheng and said, "Mr. Bai said he could give full marks on weekdays. What does this mean on weekdays? Couldn't it be done today?"

Huailiang heard this and said, "Why are you talking about this? Do you still have to lose before you can be happy! Yan Yi looked at Zhou Dong with a smile, feeling very comforted. Isn't the chef Zhou in front of him the one he is destined to be?

The perspective of the Dragon Master’s observation was completely different, and he secretly raised his thumbs up: “Good guy, this is a light pretending to be x. Master Zhou is amazing. You even master the current trend of online writing? That’s great. I don’t need to design plots anymore, the plots are all ready-made!”

"Haha, haven't you met Chef Zhou on weekdays?"

Baiweisheng smiled and said, "So, as the main judge, I, of course, have to try Chef Zhou's skills before making a decision. Chef Zhou won't let us wait too long, right?"

Zhou Dong smiled and shook his head. This was the first time he felt the pressure since he got the series.

Ling Zhenfeng is the chef of the country banquet and a master who has been studying fish dishes throughout his life. But this time he did not use the kitchen to practice in advance, and only responded to the basic skills. Although he probably has an estimated 80% chance of winning, he could not resist the dish Ling Zhenfeng always waved and had already touched the essence of the kitchen.

"My grilled fish is made near the lake, and a bonfire will be raised by the lake temporarily. If you want to watch and give advice, let's go together."

How can grilled fish taste like in the kitchen? Of course, you have to be close to the mountains and waters. It is wonderful to grill fish while watching the bonfire being blown by the mountain wind.

Zhou Dong wanted to go out of the kitchen and go to the lake to make grilled fish. This is to take into account the environmental factors of cooking and dining, and he also attaches great importance to Ling Zhenfeng, an opponent.

Ling Zhenfeng smiled and felt very comfortable. Zhou Dong's performance of "respect" his opponent made him feel very proud. At the same time, he was secretly admired. He is worthy of being a young master. Even if he made a roasted fish, he would take the advantage of the geographical feature into consideration. This idea alone is not something that Fan Chu can have.

Zhou Dong circled around Ajie Lake for a half-way circle and finally stopped at a place where the lake and bay were forked.

Half of the mountain wall breaks into Ajie Lake, making the lake water inside the mountain wall quieter and more stable, and the water flow will not be affected by the drooping waterfall above. At the same time, there is a long water vapor passing through the mountain wall and spreading over the lake bay, bringing the fragrance of many unknown wild grasses and even wild medicines on the mountain wall. Grilling fish here will undoubtedly give you extra points.

Many people wonder why they often have a bad appetite when eating at home, but when they go out for a picnic, they eat everything they enjoy?

In fact, this is the magic of nature. When you walk out of the house, stay away from the haze and breathe the fresh air in the mountains and fields, even the food you eat will naturally become more delicious. If it is a delicacy made in the wild, it will be even more amazing. Various magical molecules filled with nature will add luster to the food. This is also the basic component of the "environmental theory" of molecular cuisine.

I dug a small soil pit by the Linshui Lake. I first threw down a few ordinary firewood to harden the soil pit to remove the possible odor in the soil, then removed the firewood ash and replaced it with the prepared old pine wood... Zhou Dong is very skillful in his technique, just like a road kitchen cook outside for years.

In fact, since I learned about the information about the "road chef", Zhou Dong really wanted to try it. "The best scenery is on the road, because there are the best chefs on the road," "The bad scenery is on the scenic spot, because there are professional chefs on the scenic spots." Isn't a good road chef the most beautiful scenery on the journey?

Zhou Dong did not mean to build a grill. Grills are only suitable for grilling whole lamb pork legs, and are not suitable for grilling fish at all. The master who knows the best fish naturally wants to put the fish on the grilling fork. However, Zhou Dong did not use the common grilling forks in BBQ. Instead, he took wooden branches of appropriate thickness and soaked them in water, and prepared them to be used as tools for grilling fish.

The Dragon Master was very curious and couldn't help but chat with Huailiangren and said, "Great Master, don't you have a ready-made baking fork now? Why did Master Xiao Zhou give up and use wooden branches to penetrate the fish?"

Huailiang looked at him and didn't want to answer such common sense questions, but the 'God' made him feel very comfortable, and he smiled and said, "The kind of grilled fork you mentioned is okay to use for a sausage, but grilled fish will only ruin this delicacy.

This is because the steel fork transfers heat too quickly. If you use a steel fork to roast it, it will easily burn the fish inside. Grilled fish is the most important thing to be crispy but not burnt, and it must be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you burn the fish inside, can this fish still be eaten?

You don’t have to worry about this problem when using wood branches. Moreover, using pine wood to burn fire and roast pine wood branches will have a more unified taste. However, in order to prevent the pine wood branches from being ignited by the fire, you must wet it with water before entering the fish body."

"So that's the case. I didn't expect that there would be such a great knowledge to roast a fish?"

The Lord Dragon secretly remembered it in his heart. These are all tough guys, which can be used to fool readers. Moreover, if you have the opportunity to take girls out for a meal in the future, you can also pretend to be x. It seems that you will have to go to Master Zhou to "experience life" in the future, which will make you very capable!

After Zhou Dong caught the fire, he started to deal with two grass carp. He didn't see him removing the scales first. He just cut open the fish's belly and removed the internal organs, and then cleaned it by the lake.

Except for the fish bladder in it, the rest of the fish's internal organs should be discarded, and the fishy tendons should also be removed.

If you do not remove these abandoned internal organs and fish blood, it will cause the grilled fish to taste bitter. Even if you sprinkle a lot of chili noodles and cumin noodles to suppress them, the last thing diners will only taste the chili and cumin. It would be better to just eat the seasoning.

When Zhou Dong first washed fish, he immediately attracted the attention of God Long.

Even if it seems simple, such as washing fish, it will definitely not be easy to get to Zhou Dong's hands.

The dragon master saw that before starting to wash fish, Zhou Dong first inserted his hand into the lake water to try, and it was very deep. Once, he didn't reach the base of his arm and felt strange again. He couldn't help asking, "Great Gods, what are you doing with Master Zhou?"

This time he answered him was Ling Zhenfeng. Ling Yuwang smiled: "The lake water is different from the tap water introduced into the kitchen. It is layered and has temperature differences. Moreover, this Ajie Lake was originally a hot spring, and the waterfall flowing above was cold water on the surface. One cold and one heat inevitably produced a more turbulent water flow and fault temperature difference.

If you do not pay attention to the difference in water temperature when washing fish, it may affect the meat quality of the fish. Have you noticed that when Chef Zhou killed the fish, he first knocked the fish out with a knife and then killed it quickly? This is to avoid fear of fish being killed, which will affect the meat quality.

A good chef has many things to pay attention to from killing ingredients to cleaning ingredients. Chef Zhou is obviously more particular, so he personally tests the water temperature."

The Lord Dragon was stunned for a while. I understood that the grilled fish I ate before were all fake...

Suddenly, I remembered another question: "No, the vitality of fish seems to be very strong. Many fish can still survive after being killed after being killed. Is it useful for Master Xiao Zhou to knock them out?"

Huailiangren said: "Fish is not pig, cattle and sheep, and its memory is only seven seconds. As long as you knock it out before killing it, even if you wake up in a while, it will not know that it has been killed.

Pay attention to Lao Zhou's technique. Now the fish is awake. He is cleaning the fish while simulating the trajectory of the fish swimming in the water, making the fish think that they are still alive and will not affect the flesh quality because of fear."

"I'll go, there's such an operation?"

The dragon stared at Zhou Dong who was cleaning grass carp by the lake. He saw him holding a fish in one hand, and the fish head was in the right position, stroking up and down in the lake. Perhaps because of his skillful technique, the two fish not only did not struggle desperately, but instead swam in the water, Zheng Huan, who swam his head and tail, had no idea that he had been opened...

"Damn, what about the fish? "

The Lord Dragon's eyes began to be filled with fear when he looked at Zhou Dong. He felt that Master Zhou was not like a chef now, but more like a wizard.

Even Ling Zhenfeng was a little confused. Even if the fish had insufficient memory, at least they should feel pain. It is impossible for a chef to kill fish like a meat factory to slaughter pigs. It is impossible for the second brother of Zhu to go to the underworld before he could react. It is impossible to achieve true perfection.

But looking at the joyful look of the two fish that Zhou Dong killed, shaking their heads and tails, it seems that you can jump to you with a dragon gate in the lake now!

But he didn't know that Zhou Dong was injecting his body with a steady stream of mysterious power into the fish body. He didn't know how much appreciation value he had consumed, and he made these two Chudu grass carp turn into the happiest "dead fish" in the world.

What everyone saw was just a superficial image. In addition to the legendary vegetable washing skills, Zhou Dong was also very knowledgeable about the choice of water layer when washing fish.

Because it is not far from the waterfall, the cold waterfall flow and the hot spring water of Ajie Lake cannot be completely integrated. About two feet below the water surface, there is a clear border of hot and cold, which is also the location where the two water quality is initially integrated.

He immersed the two fish at the junction a little above, which not only ensured that the fish would not be overwhelmed by the Cold Water Town, but also because the water quality here has been initially integrated, both mineral content and pH value are the most suitable. However, cleaning the two grass carp here will make the fish more fresh and sweet.
