Chapter 170 Normal Crab Roe Shaomai(1/2)
At noon, Zheng Da and Huang Shengli arrived at Huang Ji's kitchen on time. Before they quarreled, they each had a bowl of longevity noodles. This was the longevity noodles specially made by Qin Huai, so you had to eat them first.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Zheng Da forgot all the words he had prepared all day long. Zheng Da had to do it today.
He has been losing for a week, watching teaching videos for a whole week, and memorizing courseware for a week. He thinks it is time to win. Qin Huai has been a crab man for a whole week!
The smell of crabs on his body is almost gone. When walking on the road, others thought Qin Huai was selling crabs. It’s time for him, a master who can truly teach techniques, to take action!
After finishing the last mouthful of noodle soup, the words in Zheng Da's mouth changed to: "Say it again! Qin Huai said that he had been processing shrimps and crabs for a week and felt that there were not enough snacks. He really wanted to make snacks, so he made them at noon today.
Chicken noodle soup???”
Huang Jia nodded affirmatively
Zheng Da suddenly didn't dare to argue. What kind of idea is this?
I have never heard of Bai An having this kind of training method.
Huang Anyao and Gong Liang, two laymen, can't eat it. Zheng Da, a professional chef, can't eat it? The level of the noodles in Qin Huai's chicken noodle soup at noon today has improved by leaps and bounds compared with the previous one, and he has achieved another level.
A small-scale breakthrough.
As long as this breakthrough is not a flash of inspiration and can be maintained, the taste of all Qinhuai's pastries in the future can be improved to a small level. Peeling shrimps and crabs has such a miraculous effect!
Why don't you let Qin Huai peel off for two more days and try to find the feeling again?
Not only Zheng Da was confused after a bowl of noodles, but Huang Shengli was also a little confused. He planned to give up today.
Although Huang Shengli feels from the bottom of his heart that Zheng Da's teaching skills are a bit too bad, Zheng Da's skills are still very good. Moreover, Zheng Da is a professional white-case dim sum master, and Huang Shengli is a red-case master.
He couldn't teach Qinhuai crab roe Shaomai.
A week of hard training on the most basic basic skills of ingredients is enough for Qin Huai. The rest can be accumulated over time, there is no rush.
And Huang Shengli knows very well that at Qinhuai's stage and level, it will be boring and boring to practice basic skills again, and he will lose motivation.
So he planned to let Zheng Da win during today's quarrel, so that Qin Huai would not have to practice the basic skills this afternoon and could make a complete crab roe siomai. After practicing the basic skills for a week and then making crab roe siomai again, his level would definitely be
Improved. There is a high probability that the car will still roll over, but it will not be as hard as before.
Huang Shengli planned well and asked Zheng Da to teach him for a day. This would not only make Qin Huai clearly realize that practicing basic skills is very useful, but also make him realize that just practicing basic basic skills cannot make good crab roe Shaomai.
With such a reminder in front of him, if Qin Huai can practice the preparation of various ingredients for the filling for another week, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. But now Huang Shengli is a little hesitant, wondering whether to deliberately let Zheng Da win the argument.
Qin Huai's progress is so unconventional. As he peels crabs, his pastry level improves. What does this mean?
Is this crab ready to be peeled?
It would be a waste of time to continue peeling, but it seems to affect Qin Huai's progress in pastry. With the same hesitation and hesitation, Huang Shengli and Zheng Da were very restrained and restrained in their quarrel today.
"You don't understand Bai An at all. Let me tell you, the most important thing at this stage is to practice basic skills. Xiao Qin just needs to be familiar with the ingredients, peeling and peeling crabs. It is not advisable to pull out the seedlings to encourage growth. Do you know that? Listen to me.
Yes, let’s continue practicing basic skills today!” This was what Zheng Da said.
"I don't know Bai An as well as you, but I have taught 9 apprentices, including Siyuan, a total of 10. Do you understand the teaching plan? I told you that Xiao Qin's basic skills are now very good, no
Then practice basic skills if necessary."
"Of course, I'm not saying that there is no need to practice at all. I think Xiao Qin still needs to peel crabs if he is willing to do it. But basic skills are not the focus now. I think what Xiao Qin needs most today is systematic learning and making crab roe Shaomai completely.
." This was said by Huang Shengli.
"What kind of systematic learning, now laying the foundation is the key!" "What kind of laying the foundation, now the systematic learning is the key!"
Thanks to Huang Shengli and Zheng Da deliberately restraining the volume of their quarrels, Qin Huai was already used to the two of them coming over to quarrel first every day, so he didn't pay much attention to picking crabs in the distance.
Otherwise, if the above conversation was overheard by Qin Huai, he would probably think that his learning progress was too slow and he would be expelled from the school by both masters. Neither of them wanted to teach him. Although he had never entered the school.
In the end, under Huang Shengli's outrage, Zheng Da reluctantly won today's argument and obtained the teaching qualification.
He hadn’t obtained the teaching qualification for a week and suddenly became a teaching teacher again. It would be a lie to say that Zheng Da was not excited. Zheng Da was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. What was the first sentence?
"Xiao Qin, let's pick the crabs first. This crab has to...have been picked, right?" The first sentence is wrong.
"Then let's deal with the shrimp and crab meat now. Let me see...this has been processed, right?"
The second sentence was also wrong. Zheng Da and Huang Shengli ate a bowl of noodles before they quarreled, which wasted some time. The quarrel lasted a bit long. Qin Huai had already consciously completed all the preparations.
Zheng Da pursed his lips nervously: "Then let's start making the fillings. The most important thing for Crab Roe Shaomai is the matching and seasoning of the fillings."
"I remember that you have read "Suiyuan Food List", where there is a very precise description of crabs: crabs should be eaten alone and should not be paired with other things. It is best to cook them in light salt soup and peel them to eat by yourself.
.Although the flavor is full when steamed, it is too bland."
"Crab is such an ingredient. Foods with a strong flavor are suitable for eating alone, so that they can best bring out their original taste. If you add too many rich and colorful side dishes, it will overwhelm the meal."
"This is why many creative dishes now look fancy and taste the most ordinary. Cooking is not about having more ingredients and seasonings, the better. Sometimes you can't add but have to subtract."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that these foods must be cooked separately. If this is the case, there will be no shrimp meat in the crab roe shaomai, it will all be crab meat. Foods with strong and distinctive flavors have obvious shortcomings, such as
It is said that crab roe has a fishy smell, and its freshness is accompanied by fishy smell."
"What our chefs have to do is to do our best to remove the fishy smell while retaining its originality and deliciousness. In this case, we should consider the combination of ingredients."
After Zheng Da finished his opening remarks, Qin Huai instantly looked at him with admiration.
Is this still Zheng Da? This full of theoretical knowledge, this perfect eloquent expression, this quotation of modern references, this theory and reasoning. This online course is not in vain.
Really useful!
Just when Qin Huai looked at Zheng Da with admiration, Zheng Da straightened his back proudly and glanced sideways at Huang Shengli, his eyes full of pride. Then Zheng Da moved and started making crab roe siu mai in silence.
The movements of the hands are impeccable, and the silence on the lips makes people hold their foreheads. Qin Huai & Huang Shengli:...
You've been preparing for a week and you just prepared this few words? Forget it, at least the words are good and there is progress.
Qin Huai started to watch Zheng Da making crab roe shaomai.
Qin Huai watches it every day.
During this time, when Qinhuai was practicing his basic skills of peeling shrimps and crabs, he often watched Zheng Da making crab roe siu mai while practicing.
Zheng Da would make two baskets every day, which was not much, barely enough for each of the chefs in the kitchen to share one. He also ate it himself, with a vengeance, often watching Qin Huai resentfully practicing basic skills with Huang Shengli while eating.
Today is different. Today, Qin Huai is learning from him. Zheng Da makes crab roe siu mai with great energy.
I did a lot of cooking during this period. When Zheng Da made the crab roe shaomai, he basically didn’t hesitate or try anything. He mixed the fillings and seasoned everything in one go. Of course, he didn’t do any fancy work either. Things like flower work are not suitable for Zheng Da’s simple pastry making.
style.
Zheng Da did it, Qin Huai watched it.
A batch of Crab Roe Shaomai was wrapped and steamed. Qin Huai knew that it was time for him to make Crab Roe Shaomai. He had only made Crab Roe Shaomai twice in total, and both times were not considered good memories.
Making dim sum requires muscle memory accumulated over time. Good dim sum is made by dim sum masters day after day.
Why is it said that the dim sum that a dim sum chef is good at has a lot to do with their personal preferences, because the dim sum that the dim sum chef is good at must be what the dim sum chef loves to make. Only by doing more can you be good at it, and only by doing more can you be good at it.
Qin Huai has only done it twice in total, and now he has not done it for a week. He was obviously a little rusty when he first started mixing the stuffing. But in his mind, he remembered how Zheng Da mixed the stuffing.
He remembered Zheng Da's proportions, Zheng Da's techniques, and the order in which Zheng Da added seasonings.
But Qin Huai knows that just remembering these is useless. The difficulty of a dim sum is as high as crab roe shaomai. It cannot be made by just looking and copying. He must understand.
Those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die.
Qin Huai thought of the properties of crab meat and shrimp meat that Huang Shengli told him during this period. He thought of the taste of crab meat and crab roe peeled during this period.
The strong fishy smell remained on the fingertips and could not be washed away, and what he had to do was to suppress the fishy smell while retaining the maximum freshness of the crab roe and crab meat. He could not destroy the taste of the crab roe and crab meat, so he could not
Spices for flavor.
He wants to retain the freshness and sweetness of crab roe, crab meat and shrimp meat, so he has to strictly control the amount of seasonings such as salt and soy sauce. He wants to use Shaoxing wine and ginger slices.
He needs to understand the ingredients and then change them. Qin Huai does it step by step.
When he was processing shrimp and crab meat, he didn't think about how Zheng Da did it before, nor did he deliberately copy Zheng Da's steps and processes, but his actions were actually very similar.
All he could think about was what Huang Shengli told him that he should understand the ingredients, understand the ingredients, and then change the ingredients.
He needs to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of crab meat and crab roe. He needs to think about how he feels like a big walking crab when he goes home every night. How can he make this big crab less fishy?
It tastes extremely delicious.
How can he retain the light sweetness of shrimp meat while making it an auxiliary ingredient for crab roe and crab meat? It has become the supporting role that accounts for the most dim sum but has the least shots. When Qin Huai really started to think about these things, he discovered
, people in this situation will never think about whether they are deliberately imitating someone.
Not important, don't care.
The most important thing is to make the snack in front of you well. Qin Huai seasoned it carefully.
Zheng Da's eyes widened as he watched. He was not blind, so of course he could tell that Qin Huai seemed to have found the secret to making crab roe shaomai.
He already knows how to control crab meat, crab roe and shrimp meat, and how to control the proportions of ingredients and seasonings. Qin Huai may still overturn, but he will never overturn as outrageously as the previous two times.
This progress is too fast.
Am I really a teaching genius, and Qin Huai can learn it just by teaching him casually? Zheng Da thought.
Huang Shengli looked on with satisfaction and said to Huang Jiaqi: "Xiao Qin is really a good student that every teacher can't help but want to take on as a disciple." Learn whatever you teach, and fight wherever you point it out.
.
Huang Jia handed over a bowl of warm tea: "Master, please drink some tea to moisten it."
