Chapter 157 The Difference Between Banquet Packages
"What does Young Master mean?" Kuang Chu was a little confused, and at the same time raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Xun Yu was unwilling to give in and planned to find something for Wang Yong.
"There is no doubt about the flavor, but I cannot feel the face of Chef Kuang in these dishes. If you have to say it, these dishes can only be regarded as 'crafts' produced in process, and they cannot reach the level of 'artwork'." Xun Yu said slowly.
In other words, the dishes cooked by Kuang Chu gave her more of a show of skills and showing off her achievements in the umami field, rather than presenting the umami flavor to them. It tastes delicious, but not very pleasant.
Just like handicrafts, they can be pleasing to the eye, but artworks can make people see the author's ingenuity and the emotions they want to express.
"Crafts, artworks...so that's it... Kuang seems to be immature." After Xun Yu's thrust, Kuang Chu seemed to feel something, which was the threshold to a special chef.
Those who reach the peak of medical skills are called masters. In the chef industry, senior chefs can only be called chefs, and only when they reach the special level chefs can they be called masters. A word of difference can be thousands of miles away!
What is the difference between the time between chef and master? No one has taught Kuang Chu before. He didn't know that he had fumbled himself, and had no direction, and failed again and again. Xun Yu made a little effort and immediately understood that at least he had a direction of hard work.
"Yu'er, what you are talking about is a abilities that only a special chef can have. It's a bit difficult to say this in this competition!" Xun Fu was a little disgusted with it. This young daughter favored an outsider so much, even if that person might be her son-in-law.
Is it because the girl is too old to stay? Xun Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was so partial to others before he got married!
"My part is also ready!" Wang Yong also announced at this time that the dishes he prepared had been completed.
"Let's not talk about those for now, you'll know after eating!" Xun Yu didn't say in detail.
"Okay!" Xun Fu couldn't say anything, but just asked someone to remove the food on the table.
"Senior Kuang, I have prepared something for you, and I hope you can give me more advice!" Wang Yong brought out the two sets, then brought out another one and placed it in front of Kuang Chu.
"Boy, are you pretty good?" Kuang Chu naturally knew what Wang Yong meant, so he planned to see his cooking skills.
"It's not about the soup before, but about everything together?" When Wang Yong brought the food, Xun Fu was a little strange. Usually, they were served one by one, but this time they were served in one breath.
"I'm sorry, what I'm preparing is not a banquet dish, but a set meal!" Wang Yong said slowly, "After that I am a junior chef, and I'm not very good at banquet dishes, but I'm more familiar with the set meal."
"Pack?" Xun Fu thought for a while, "just like those Cantonese roasted wax sets for Sunshine Breakfast?"
Generally speaking, a roasted wax set meal will be deducted from the meat you choose, and a small plate of vegetables and a bowl of soup. The soup is usually duck red soup... Speaking of which, I heard from my daughter that Wang Yong seems to be the founder of Sunshine Breakfast.
"You can also say that... the concept of a set meal is actually similar to a banquet. By combining different dishes, we can achieve a whole, but the shape is different." Wang Yong replied.
"So that's it..." Looking at the set meal in front of him, Xun Fu thought briefly, "I drank the soup before, but this time I started with the staple food. There should be no order, right?"
"No, it depends on your personal likes and dislikes. Eat whatever you want. In addition, you can add soup and side dishes!" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Mother... it's better to taste a little of each one first and then eat it!" Xun Yu looked at the set meal in front of him with a little embarrassment. It was full of color, fragrance and taste, and it looked very attractive, but she didn't dare to take off the chopsticks.
"What's wrong? You don't really admire Wang Yong's craftsmanship, why do you look embarrassed?" Xun Fu joked.
"He really can't cook seriously these days..." Xun Yu swallowed and struggled. This set meal was definitely a problem, but she couldn't help but want to eat it.
"Will this food be very unpalatable?" Kuang Chu smiled, "Then I'll try the taste first!"
After saying that, he opened the covered sea bowl and exposed the eel rice bowl inside. The fragrance was very light, not even as rich as his portion, and it didn't feel very good.
When I actually tasted it, I realized that the eel was crispy on the outside but soft and juicy on the inside. It tasted very different from myself. The unique flavor of the eel was very mellow and the oil felt very thick.
However, the sauce is light and the sauce is not strong in flavor. However, this will highlight the umami flavor of the eel.
Umbrella? Kuang Chu was stunned. This method of improving freshness is obviously a method that only chefs who have a certain understanding of Umbrella will use! In other words, has Wang Yong been exposed to the threshold of a senior chef? Damn, he is just a junior chef!
The key is that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he is young, he will touch the threshold of a senior chef. He will definitely be an excellent senior chef in the future, and he will even be able to become a super chef, just sooner or later!
The gravy is soaked in one-third of the rice, which means that even if you eat it this way, it is also delicious. In terms of craftsmanship, there are some flaws in the heat and seasoning, but the flaws do not conceal the merits! With this craftsmanship, the level of an intermediate chef, or even a high-quality intermediate chef, must have reached the level!
"This is..." Put down the rice for a while, Kuang Chu looked at a small plate of river clams next to him.
"Which river clams with vinegar, simply blanch the river clams, mix them with aged vinegar, soy sauce and garlic, and one or two drops of sesame oil." Wang Yong replied with a smile when he heard this.
"So that's it. The third dish is a cold dish like me." Kuang Chu picked up the spoon, scooped a spoon, then put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
The taste of vinegar and stimulating garlic at the mouth. These two flavors make the umami of river clams more prominent. Simply blanch them and then come out of the pot, making the umami of river clams not only sweet, but also retain the umami to the maximum extent. It is a very rough dish.
The key is that it is very refreshing, which can remove the greasy feeling of the soup and the rice is covered with rice, and the taste of vinegar and garlic is also very appetizing.
"So that's it, the set meal..." Kuang Chu subconsciously picked up the rice bowl and took another bite of the rice.
"Huh?" As a senior chef, he seemed to realize something. He just ate this bowl of rice, and at most he just vaguely felt the umami flavor of this bowl of rice. After eating jealous and mixed river clams, he then ate the eel rice. The umami flavor seemed to double more than double!
The rice looks more fragrant and the eel is more delicious. If you serve it separately, it will be difficult to have such a food feeling. It turns out that this is the secret of the set meal! In fact, it is the same as the banquet dishes, and it is also a puzzle, but the concept is slightly different!
If the banquet dishes are puzzles after puzzle, forming a whole, then the set meal is a three-dimensional puzzle, building a whole through components.
"It's very curious. What will happen after I drink this bowl of soup..." Kuang Chu slowly picked up the soup bowl.
