Chapter 450: Transforming the Manchu and Han Banquets

The bones and flesh of fried and stuffed croaker are shaved from the abdomen, but because the soup of yellow croaker is not sprinkled, the fish cannot open its mouth and can only remove the debris from the abdomen from the mouth.

Liao Jie was obviously well aware of the structure of the yellow croaker's body. He was extremely accurate in the knife and was very confident. With one knife, he directly found the yellow croaker's discharge, cut off the fish intestines, and took out the internal organs.

Then, he used a flat bamboo slice as a knife to penetrate into the fish's mouth, flipped his wrist, and the blade did not touch the fish's lips at all, and only moved in the air. Soon, he took out the yellow croaker's bones from his mouth.

Carrying the yellow croaker, Liao Jie came to the pool and poured clear water into the fish's mouth. The fish's belly was swollen, but it didn't leak.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim and applauded.

"Awesome!"

Long Kunbao applauded and praised.

Although he can do it even if he loses bones in the fish, he will definitely not be as relaxed and comfortable as Liao Jie.

It is worthy of the knife skills that surpassed him in the competition. Five years have passed, but he still has not made any regression at all, but has become even more diligent.

Clean the yellow croaker, then Liao Jie took four or five green onions, rubbed them with salt and killed them, then stuffed them into the fish's mouth, and supported the fish's belly.

Everyone stopped their work and watched him operate curiously.

Jiahui looked at him and couldn't help but pull Zhao Gangsheng down and muttered in a low voice: "I realized that I don't like cooking because my dad is too ugly. It turns out that old men are very handsome in cooking!"

As he was talking, Liao Jie suddenly walked towards her.

"Little girl, do you have a hair dryer?" Liao Jie asked her: "Can you lend me it to use?"

"Oh, OK."

Although Jiahui was puzzled, she went to the bedroom to get a hair dryer and handed it to him: "Here! I'll give it to you."

Liao Jie took it and came to the case. He used a hairdryer to blow the yellow croaker between more than two meters away.

The white wine he poured into the water before was swallowed by the yellow croaker. In addition to the effect of drunk fish, it also has the effect of removing fish.

In addition to removing fishy smell, the onions stuffed into the fish belly also play a role in shaping.

After picking the bones and picking the meat, the yellow croaker needs to be marinated for twelve hours to make it taste solid. However, if the air flow speed is accelerated, the process can be accelerated.

The wind from the hair dryer was already very weak after more than two meters away, but Liao Jie still thought it was too strong and took a step back and was satisfied until three meters away.

Yellow croaker needs to be marinated for a long time. On the one hand, it causes salt to penetrate into the fish meat through evaporation of water. The marinated meat is used to make it taste good. On the other hand, it also tightens its skin and fixes the fish body.

The yellow croaker has green onions stuffed into its belly, and the air cannot circulate. If the distance is too close, the hot wind will make the fish skin tighten too quickly, thereby locking the water and preventing the water in the fish belly from evaporating, which will cause the outer skin to become hard, but the fish meat will still be soft.

Liao Jie needs to constantly adjust the angle and wind speed of the hair dryer to gradually set the yellow croaker.

This technique requires experience, and he cannot be faked by others, but can only operate it by himself.

This step took a long time. Ou Zhaofeng and Long Kunbao, who were standing by, began to whisper to discuss how to use ordinary ingredients instead of rare ingredients, but there was no good way to simulate the unique odor of rare ingredients, so they were at a loss.

All ingredients have peculiar smells, but peculiar smell does not represent peculiar smells. On the contrary, the boundary between peculiar smell and fragrance is not so clear.

In fact, many odors belong to flavor and have unique charm.

For example, many people don’t like the smell of mutton, but in the mouths of lovers, if it is not smelly, it will lose its taste.

There are also Umbrella plants, such as coriander, celery, carrots, cumin, cumin, and cumin, which have their own unique smell.

Not to mention foods that artificially create unique smells such as stinky tofu, stinky fermented black beans, and peeled eggs.

These odors are like beasts in the eyes of people who don’t like them, but in the eyes of people who like them, they are irresistible flavor temptations.

But as long as it is handled properly, these odors will be transformed into unique fragrances and exude unparalleled charm.

Bear paw has a special smell that is difficult to remove. It must be dried for more than a year before this smell will gradually turn into a special smell.

Using cow's palms and camel hooves can indeed find ways to imitate the appearance of bear's paw, but the special smell is difficult to imitate.

"Why might as well ask Master Liao?" Long Kunbao suggested.

Ou Zhaofeng nodded and asked Liao Jie: "Master Liao, do you know any way to use ordinary ingredients to make the smell of bear's paw?"

Liao Jie thought about it after hearing this and said, "The amino acid content in the bear paw is different from that in ordinary ingredients. It is more fishy and the fragrance after treatment is stronger. If you want to imitate it, you have to use ingredients with the same fishy smell, but it depends on what it is."

Long Kunbao pondered: "The way to make bear paw is nothing more than braised, white roast and yellow roast, but white roast needs to reveal its true nature and is easily seen through."

"That's right."

Ou Zhaofeng nodded and said, "Braised and yellow roasted can be colored, or used heavy ingredients to press the smell, which is easier to hide the truth."

Liao Jie suggested: "It may be better to cook with scallions or sauce."

"Sauce roast?"

Ou Zhaofeng fell into deep thought.

"Yes, the onion roast and sauce roast taste thicker and less likely to be seen."

Liao Jie shook his head and said, "But there will always be subtle differences when you taste it, and you can't do the exact same thing."

"Just be able to distort the real one."

Long Kunbao smiled and said, "We have the best Anan in the world, and we can definitely try it out."

Fenan asked with a smile: "Why does it sound like a swearing?"

"Ha ha!"

Ou Zhaofeng opened his mind and suggested, "I think using pig's trotters as the main ingredients, and then using beef's and sheep's trotters to combine the flavors, should be successful."

Liao Jie reminded: "The gelatin content of bear paws is high, so it is best to stew together with tendons, fish lips and fish belly to increase the gelatinity."

Long Kunbao also echoed: "And the meat of the pig's trotter is not thick enough, so it is best to use cow's trotters on the palm, and then use pig's trotters and sheep's trotters as the toes, connect them with beef tendons, and press them into shape."

Ou Zhaofeng thought for a while and said, "The structure of these ingredients is different, and the time required for stewing is also different. To achieve the same overall softness and glutinousness, you must process it separately, then plasticize the process in the middle, and finally cook it together. The process is probably more complicated than the real bear's paw."

"It's interesting to be complicated!"

Long Kunbao smiled and said, "If we can really succeed, we will create a Manchu and Han full-game dish, which is much more interesting than winning the game!"

"That's right."

Fenan smiled and stepped forward: "The law will become more and more perfect in the future, and the protection of wild animals will gradually increase. Too many dishes in the Manchu and Han banquet will face loss. If ordinary ingredients can really be used to perfectly simulate the taste and taste of rare ingredients, then even if there are no rare ingredients available in the future, the Manchu and Han banquet will not disappear in front of the public."

Liao Jie agreed and said: "If it is really possible, then for the cooking industry, it will be a good thing that will benefit the present and the future, and it will be of great significance!"

"yes!"

Ou Zhaofeng was excited when he was said, then he clasped his hands together and said enthusiastically: "That's right! I'm short-sighted! I shouldn't limit my vision to this competition. I want to use this competition to promote the Manchu and Han banquet! I want to give everyone a chance to taste the real Manchu and Han banquet!"

"Then I'll wait to taste Master Ou's Manchu and Han banquet!"

Fei Nan made a joke, and everyone started laughing.
