0130 Chapter boiled fish, please use it slowly!
Because of this magic airboat, the entire restaurant kitchen also looks extremely luxurious, with all kinds of kitchen utensils available, and because of the need to entertain VIP guests, Lu Haocang also saw the place where the ingredients were placed in the distance, which was filled with a lot of high-quality ingredients, which were all sky-high-priced goods that ordinary people could not afford.
Lu Haocang walked to the workbench aside and habitually reached out to touch the countertop. He found that it was very clean. It seemed that the person in charge of this kitchen was quite serious and responsible, because a good kitchen had very strict requirements on kitchens, kitchen utensils, etc. One was the "battlefield" and the other was the "weapon" for combat.
"Mr. Agula, you can choose any kitchen utensils and ingredients here. Please rest assured that they are all fresh and high-quality ingredients." Benjamin took the lead in making a statement. He still has this power, and I believe the restaurant manager will not say much.
The restaurant manager nodded busyly, but unexpectedly things developed to this position. He is now worried about whether he can keep his job.
After looking around the kitchen, Lu Haocang nodded with satisfaction. As a restaurant (isn't it a very fashionable name?), he was quite satisfied and then walked towards the pile of ingredients area.
Benjamin made a slightly spicy fish dish, so Lu Haocang naturally responded, thinking about what he should do.
After Lu Haocang thought of the plan, he kept skillfully starting to select ingredients in his hands.
Since you want to make fish dishes, you naturally have to choose a fresh fish ingredient, and in Lu Haocang's mind, he has already made a choice.
"This is you." Lu Haocang reached out and picked up a small fish. Judging from the color, it should have been bought in the morning. It was very fresh with special magic treatment.
"That's, Blake Lake Fish!" Benjamin frowned slightly when he saw the fish ingredients selected by Lu Haocang, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
The Blake Lake fish has black scales, a slightly flat and wide head, and a thick and round body. It is a common fish in the Aitrans continent. Many civilians use it as an ingredient on the dining table because it is relatively ordinary and has strong reproductive ability.
The point that Benjamin is confused about is why Lu Haocang didn’t choose other more high-end fish ingredients, but chose Blake Lake Fish as the main ingredient.
Of course, Benjamin didn't say much. The place where a chef can test his true strength is to make extraordinary dishes with extraordinary ingredients, which is also the cooking method that Benjamin has always pursued.
"Tsk! What amazing dishes can you make with this kind of fish eaten by civilians? Bluff!" After seeing Lu Haocang selecting the Blake Lake fish as the staple ingredient, Alec expressed deep disdain and sneered at the nose.
Rodri and the others didn't know much about cooking, but they all chose to believe Lu Haocang and watched the latter silently start cooking.
Then Lu Haocang took some chili and a vegetable that could be eaten raw (similar to lettuce on earth). After choosing the ingredients, Lu Haocang went straight to the workbench and first began to deal with the Blake Lake fish.
The fish dishes made by Benjamin use fried methods, which are also the most common way to make fish dishes in Western cuisines on earth. This method of making can indeed make the fish taste better and more intense, but it will slightly destroy the most original and deliciousness of the fish.
What Lu Haocang wants to make this time is actually a dish he often eats on earth, a famous Sichuan cuisine - boiled fish.
This is why Lu Haocang chose Blake Lake fish as the staple ingredient. As we all know, although Blake Lake fish is not a high-end ingredient, it is because its meat is firm, tender and juicy, just fits the boiled fish.
Lu Haocang took out his kitchen knife and cleanly cut off the head and tail of the Blake Lake fish, just the body in the middle, then remove the fish bones and slice them, with a moderate thickness.
Take out various spices from the storage box, some of which are specially prepared by Lu Haocang, because Atlans's cuisine is not as developed as the earth, and often it can only be made by itself to achieve a relatively ideal taste.
Put the cut fish fillets into the prepared spices to taste, and Lu Haocang began to make the bottom of the boiled fish. Because there were no bean sprouts, he chose to replace it with a vegetable that is unique to Aitrans, which can achieve the same effect.
This is easy to deal with. Lu Haocang used boiling water and placed it at the bottom of the basin.
Next, start stir-frying chili peppers, alternative peppers, etc., and stir-frying.
"Sniff!"
"It's really fragrant! This smell..."
"I want to eat when I smell it. What kind of dish is this?"
The powerful people standing outside the kitchen were not sure what Lu Haocang was doing, but when he smelled the spicy fragrance, his saliva flowed down unconsciously.
Benjamin widened his eyes and watched Lu Haocang make this boiled fish dish in a flash. He found that the latter, whether it is knife skills or heat control, is of high quality. The most important thing is that he has never seen those strange spices. It is really unexpected that he can emit such a fragrance just a little bit.
Lu Haocang naturally ignored the reactions around him. He was very serious when he was involved in the cooking and would not be distracted by some trivial matters around him.
After the aroma is stir-frying, Lu Haocang put the cut fish head and tail into it and stir-fry it, add cooking wine, etc., and stir-fry the umami flavor and fish aroma in the fish head and tail.
Then pour in clean water and start boiling. After the water boils, Lu Haocang cuts the fish fillets that have already tasted.
It didn't take long. After the fish fillets changed slightly, turn off the heat immediately and pour the soup and fish fillet into the pot where the lettuce was placed before.
"Is it done? It smells so good!" Benjamin saw the bright color of the pot, with a large amount of bright red peppers and fish fillets floating on it, and swallowed unconsciously, and wanted to try this fish dish as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, there is the last and most important process!" Lu Haocang smiled slightly. The boiled fish was not completely completed. He picked up the hot boiling oil and poured it on the fish fillet.
"Sizi!" "Bizibo!"
The moment the boiling oil comes into contact with the fish, a wonderful sound is made. Every time the beating is accompanied by a delicious taste. The originally restrained boiled fish suddenly spreads the aroma to the entire kitchen.
The spicy aroma makes people unable to stop, and they can feel a sense of heat all over their body, which seems to look very spicy, but they just want to taste it.
"Put the fish in water, please use it slowly!" Lu Haocang put down the big pot, stretched out his hand and smiled.
