Chapter 35 Tian Mingzheng's Cooking
"I believe there will be no problem with this matter. Let's prepare for the ninth course."
"it is good."
The ninth dish Tian Mingzheng cooks is a home-cooked dish, Kung Pao Chicken.
This dish is included in Sichuan cuisine.
It is said that it was created by a minister named Ding Baozhen in the Qing Dynasty. It was promoted and developed gradually when he was the governor of Sichuan.
But there are other allusions, not the only ones.
Therefore, it is included in Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Guizhou cuisine and other dishes.
Different cooking methods can vary greatly in different regions.
Today's lunch is mainly Sichuan cuisine, so the way of cooking is naturally Sichuan cuisine.
What Tian Ming is preparing is chicken breast.
The toppings are peanuts and scallions.
As for seasoning, such as salt, sugar, dried chili, starch and so on.
"Xu Yang, bring over the chicken breasts that have been marinated in advance."
"it is good."
The meat is marinated in a bowl with cooking wine, starch, and soy sauce in advance. This step is mainly to remove the fishy smell and improve the taste of the meat.
The taste of chicken breasts that have not been marinated will be greatly affected if they are cooked directly.
Then Tian Mingzheng cut the green onion into pieces about the size of diced chicken, and chopped the ginger and garlic into small pieces for later use.
At this time, Xu Yang peeled the peanuts scalded with boiling water. Unlike usual, he smashed them directly on the chopping board.
The peeled peanuts still need to be processed briefly.
Put oil in the pot, then put the peanuts down, stir fry over low heat, and take out when appropriate.
Tian Mingzheng began to season it.
I saw him put sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and starch into a clean bowl to make a sauce for later use.
There are strict requirements on how much seasoning to put.
As for how much he put in, Xu Yang didn't look at it. Each chef has different opinions on how to use seasonings.
Some also have secret sauces, which will not be displayed to the public.
The sauce is adjusted well, all the ingredients needed are ready, and the next step can be started.
Tian Mingzheng heated up the frying pan, then put in an appropriate amount of cooking oil, poured the marinated chicken into the pan and quickly stir-fried until it changed color, then took it out immediately.
After taking it out, add cooking oil to the pot again, add Chinese prickly ash, dried chili, and minced garlic and stir-fry in the pot to release the fragrance.
At this time, stir-fry the chicken that has been fried and set aside for later use, pour in the sauce that Tian Mingzheng made himself, stir-fry for color, and a Kung Pao chicken dish is almost finished.
Before cooking, there is one last step.
Stir-fry the peanuts and scallions in the pan. After the estimated time is about the same, turn off the heat and take out the pan. The whole process is completed in one go.
Xu Yang has unlocked this dish, and it is now a two-star dish.
Seeing the Kung Pao Chicken Tian Ming was putting on the plate, Xu Yang predicted that it should be around the three-star menu, anyway, he still can't reach this level now.
It can be seen from this that he is actually very capable in cooking, otherwise he would not come here to be the head chef of Sichuan cuisine.
"Xu Yang, how does this Kung Pao Chicken compare to yours?"
He already felt and predicted the star rating of this dish just now, three stars are already very high, after all, there are only three three stars in the system now.
Tian Mingzheng doesn't have a system, and it is entirely his own ability to stir-fry such a flavor.
"The chef is joking again, it's much better than the Kung Pao Chicken I cooked."
"Yes, it is much better than you now, but the Kung Pao Chicken you cook is also delicious. I believe it will be a matter of time before you surpass me."
Xu Yang thought to himself, it is relatively easy to surpass you.
It only takes 500 experience points to upgrade from two stars to three stars.
If you are lucky, you can do it in two days, but if you are not lucky, the longest time is 5 days.
The minimum experience value obtained by signing in is 100, and the maximum is unclear. Xu Yang's current maximum experience value is 300 points. It is unclear if there is more.
As for not signing in after upgrading to a two-star chef, the minimum may still be 100 points, but the maximum will definitely not be limited to 300 points.
Spend a little more time to upgrade to four stars, that is completely beyond.
But he definitely wouldn't say it, he just smiled and agreed.
"Come on, our last dish is done."
"it is good."
They brought the ninth dish to the table, and in less than 3 minutes the last dish was brought to the table, and today's cooking was completely over.
There is no dessert on today's menu, but there are some pre-dinner fruits instead.
When the cooking was over, Wang Yuangang also assisted in the end, and he assisted another chef.
At this time, Tian Ming was clapping his hands, and everyone looked over.
He said with satisfaction: "The cooking is over, let's take a rest first. Judging from the current feedback, there is no problem. You can go home in the afternoon after the banquet, which is considered a half-day vacation."
The people here are all transferred from various kitchens, which is equivalent to doing odd jobs temporarily.
It was about 01:30 when the banquet ended, and we took a rest for a while and waited for the leaders to leave at about two o'clock.
At that time, everyone would know if there were any problems, but now no one can say for sure.
There are not many people, less than 10 people in total.
Their main job today is to assist with this meal, and since the afternoon is over perfectly, they don't need to stay in the restaurant.
After hearing Tian Mingzheng's arrangement, the people inside immediately became very happy.
I have been busy all morning, and I am still concentrating on it.
After so much work, I can finally rest now.
Tian Mingzheng knew that it would definitely not get off work to let them continue to work normally in the afternoon.
Besides, it starts at 7:2 in the morning and ends at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, with no break in the middle.
It counts that I have worked continuously for 7 hours, which is no different from the usual 8 or 9 hours.
"Chef Tian, this kid didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
After several people got together, Wang Yuangang was the first to speak, talking about Xu Yang.
"Not only didn't cause trouble, but encountered good things."
"What good thing?"
Hearing that there was no trouble, Wang Yuangang breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was looking forward to what the so-called good thing would be. If Tian Mingzheng could say that it was a good thing, it would definitely not be bad.
At this time, Wu Han told him what happened just now.
Xu Yang noticed that Wang Yuangang was very excited after learning about this. He had guessed this a long time ago and was much more excited than he was.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. There's no need to tell lies. It's the news from the restaurant in front."
"Then when will the chef come over?" You must know that Wang Yuangang's director of Sichuan cuisine was given by the chef, so he is naturally very concerned.
"It is said that after the banquet, I will find time to come to the kitchen. The most important thing is to see Xu Yang. After all, he has been very famous as a chef in Sichuan cuisine for a while. Several other kitchens have heard that there is a chef in our Sichuan cuisine kitchen. In fact, the head chef has already known about the young man who is very talented in other aspects."
Xu Yang knew about this.
As Wu Han said just now, the head chef didn't believe it at first, but he didn't believe it until today after tasting it himself.
There is no doubt whether the dishes are cooked by Xu Yang, after all, if you want to test, you only need to cook them on the spot.
"Xu Yang, I thought you were a good kid at the beginning, but I never thought you would keep surprising me."
At this moment, Xu Yang agreed to everything they said and did not refute.
He knew that he couldn't avoid the meeting today, so he could only take one step at a time, and at worst he would slip away early.
