Chapter 36: Deep Fried Spring Rolls of the Soul
Aman put another crispy and charming spring roll into his mouth, still looking at Qin Shou with surprise and excitement, and said, "Boy, what method did you use to lead to such a strong 'flavor' of bamboo shoots?"
Not only Aman is so curious, but Erniang and Xiang En are also so confused. Although they did not use young bamboo, they led to such a strong and attractive delicacy. There must be some secret in it.
Qin Shou didn't say much, picked up a whole of mature bamboo shoots and placed them in front of everyone, and said, "It's this."
"This? What...what means."
"Because I almost brought all the bamboo shoots into the dish, which means that the spring rolls contain a whole bamboo shoot." Qin Shou said.
When everyone present was stunned when they heard Qin Shou's words.
Immediately, a thought arose in my mind...How is this possible!
This is something that is simply impossible!
"You...what did you say?"
After being stunned for a long time, Xiang En came to Qin Shou incredible, snatched the bamboo shoots from his hand and took them in his hand and looked at them, saying, "You put the whole bamboo shoots that are so old into the dish?"
"The whole thing is put in the spring rolls?"
Oman also found it incredible and picked up a whole bamboo shoot and looked at it carefully.
"Just this - the hard 'root' is used? Eating this will cause a lot of bitterness." Aman asked incomprehensible.
Bai Rongrong seemed to have thought of something, came to Qin Shou and said happily, "You said yesterday that you should remove the pointed tips and hard roots of insufficient bamboo shoots, but today I actually used it again!"
That's right, when Qin Shou roasted bamboo shoots yesterday, although he took a whole piece to the fire to roast, he only chose the most delicious part in the middle when eating, and discarded the upper and lower parts.
"Well, when removing the astringency, soak it with rice bran and pepper and a lot of hot water, and peel off the shell."
Qin Shou began to explain his treatment method to everyone, saying: "First of all, the hard 'root' of bamboo shoots. In order to retain the fiber-rich taste, cut a cross knife, skewer the sauce from the soy sauce base, and grill it into salty, sweet and slightly bitter roasted bamboo shoots. The taste is delicate, tender bamboo shoot tips, and boil them at the same time, with scallops and light soy sauce, adding a refreshing aroma.
The essence of the umami flavor is interrupted, stir-fry with peanut oil, and when seasoning, only the simplest soy sauce is used to enhance the flavor, bringing out a strong spring atmosphere. Finally, cut it into shreds and thicken it with starch. Even the bamboo shoot skin is not discarded. It is necessary to retain its unique fragrance, grind the bamboo shoot skin into paste, and add flour to knead it into dough.
After the filling is cooled, put it on the dough in order. Fry it on medium heat and turn it over time. Finally, fry it over high heat to make it golden and crispy. After draining the oil, it can be released from the pan. This is the 'bamboo shoot spring roll' I made, which can maximize the deliciousness of bamboo shoots!"
After listening to Qin Shou's explanation, Xiang En, Er Niang and Aman all reacted.
This approach and handling ideas are not something they can think of at all.
"Depending on the different parts of the bamboo shoots, different treatments can be applied so that different 'time periods' can be blocked in the spring rolls... No wonder there are 'three' different delicacies when eaten!" Aman suddenly realized.
Qin Shou smiled and said, "That's right, I think that only by fully using the whole bamboo shoot - can the 'bamboo shoot flavor' be used to the extreme, can the most powerful delicacy of bamboo shoots be extended."
After hearing Qin Shou's words, Aman touched his screwdriver and nodded with a smile, while Xiang En's face was not very good-looking.
It can actually be developed to the extreme by seeing bamboo shoots... Even a chef of Erniang's level can only handle the easiest and most delicious young bamboo parts.
However, Liu Maoxing can make up for the quality of bamboo shoots, and this guy is still so annoying.
That's how Lord Kaiyou and the others were defeated by him...
Just when Xiang En was a little more afraid of Qin Shou, the bamboo shoots in her hand were suddenly stolen.
"Wow!"
Xiang En saw clearly what was in front of her. The black and white creatures were eating bamboo shoots snatched from her hands.
Isn’t this the giant panda that Qin Shou and others saw yesterday?
At this time, it was eating the bamboo shoots in Xiangen's hand and it was fragrant!
Xiang En was startled because it was the first time she had seen the panda animal.
"A bear with black and white colors, can it be..."
"Yes, it's a panda."
Qin Shou looked at Xiang En, who was confused and said, "It was the inspiration given to me by Panda."
"ah?"
"From bamboo shoots, bamboo tubes to bamboo leaves, pandas are all happily eaten. Only by eating them can they experience the 'flavor of bamboo shoots'." Qin Shou said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiang En gritted his teeth again.
Why? Because this is not the first time!
This abominable...the furry black and white bear! Whether it was the duel back then or now...this abominable panda always brings inspiration to Liu Maoxing in key games.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Er Niang stepped forward a few steps to Qin Shou and said in confusion: "The so-called spring rolls must be crispy on the skin, crisp bamboo shoots, and plump meat filling. Only by forming a trinity can this dessert be considered successful!"
When Qin Shou and Aman were silent for a moment when they heard Er Niang's words, because what she was talking about was the truth.
"Since you chose to present it in the form of 'spring rolls', if there is no meat inside, wouldn't it be a fatal point deduction item?" Erniang looked at Qin Shou and asked seriously.
After hearing this, Xiang En hurriedly followed: "Yes...yes, there is no meat in this spring roll, because there is no animal on this mountain that can provide 'meat'."
Bai Rongrong was so stupid that she didn't react. She followed Erniang and Xiang En's words and said, "Yes...yes, Master, where do you have meat? I didn't see you hunting wild game yesterday."
Qin Shou smiled, paused for two or three seconds, looked at Xiang En and Erniang, and said, "Er Niang, how could I not know the characteristics of your spring roll? Of course, there is meat in my spring roll, because this 'meat' was given to me by you. Not only that, I also gave me a recipe, and I explained the cooking method of this 'meat' very clear!"
After hearing Qin Shou's words, Er Niang thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something.
"There is indeed meat in Ah Maha's spring roll!" Aman also spoke.
"What?"
Aman looked at Qin Shou, and finally his eyes fell on Erniang and Xiang En, saying, "With the fat and tender flesh, the skin, bamboo shoots and meat, the trinity can be formed, making this spring roll taste very harmonious and there is no shortage. My Aman's tongue has been recognized by Master Yuxian, and my tongue will not lie."
Qin Shou looked at Xiang En and Er Niang who had already awakened, and couldn't help but say, "You should have guessed what it is. In fact, these meats are made of konjac!"
"Demon...konjac!"
Xiang En's expression changed drastically: "Demon...Konjac is not meat at all!"
"Hahaha~ Don't be so guilty. You taught me to make 'konjac meat' that night. Did you forget?"
Qin Shou looked at her face with great embarrassment, and her whole body was trembling with anger, and said, "Frozen it into frozen konjac, dry it and remove the moisture, stir-fry it with sauce to fully absorb the taste."
"Ha~ Thank you Sister Xiangen, otherwise the master wouldn't have such inspiration this time~" Bai Rongrong said with a smile.
Xiang En's face was so angry that his face turned red. Could this be shooting himself in the foot?
Erniang seemed more calm. To be precise, she was still thinking about the dishes that Qin Shou made.
"Strange, if you need to remove konjac tofu, you need to use clean water to bind it and add lime to remove the poison and solidify it. There should be no such things in this place now, right?" Er Niang looked at Qin Shou and asked again.
Qin Shou looked at several giant pandas in the distance and couldn't help but speak: "In order to digest a large amount of bamboo, the panda will drink a lot of water, and even fall into a state of 'water poisoning'. I followed the panda to find a high-quality water source."
Dudu only then realized why Qin Shou wanted to chase giant pandas to find high-quality Suwon.
"As for lime, it was mined and given to me by Senior Brother Liuyi when he first patrols the mountain. Ernie is like you found a hot spring in this mountain and used to hatch bean sprouts to grow. Although the mountain here has limited resources, we have also used the best of our resources." Qin Shou said to Ernie in front of him.
Erniang did not show such anger as Xiang En, and was relatively calm.
...
A few minutes later, Oman began to evaluate the dishes on both sides, that is, he entered the review stage and would select the dishes he thought were delicious.
"The two sides can be said to be evenly matched, but today I must decide the level and make a judgment. But I still said that, I am the disciple appointed by Master Yuxian. You must believe in my decision and... tongue."
Aman said to Qin Shou and Erniang who were on the left and right in front of him.
"The winning side of the bamboo shoot cooking duel in southern Shu was... Liu Maoxing, who had exploded the 'time difference bamboo shoot spring roll'!"
Oman awarded the final victory to Qin Shou.
Qin Shou was not surprised by this, because it was taken for granted. Oman would explain the reason clearly.
"The 'bamboo shoot breath' expressed by your chef's soul is admirable."
Aman turned his eyes to Qin Shou and said, "So I decided to accompany A Mao and his group into the mountain."
Hearing this, Bai Rongrong and Dudu jumped up excitedly.
"That's great, little boss!"
"Yeah, the master won! I'll just say it~ How could it be the opponent of Chef Dragon in the mere dark cuisine world?"
Chapter completed!
