Food Circle Plug-in Emperor

However, before reaching a conclusion, some things cannot be said too arbitrarily.

However, Fu Yu's evaluation of the fish soup just now made Lu Zhanlong feel more at ease.

He actually thought that the fish soup was delicious and tasted good, but the only drawback was that the taste of the fish and the side dishes was a little unsatisfactory.

But if there was any problem with the cooking process, I really couldn't find it.

Lu Zhanlong also watched carefully during the cooking demonstration just now. It must be said that the chef himself dared to submit an application for innovative dishes to the National Food Association. He was indeed a skilled cook with a high level.

However, there was obviously no problem with the overall operation process, but the cooked soup had a slight flaw, which was actually quite unusual.

Lu Zhanlong also thought about it carefully just now, and he really had no clue for a while.

As a result, while watching the same thing, Fu Yu quickly thought of the solution when he felt the problem.

The poor taste of the fish was because the stewing time was too short.

Fresh fish itself has thick meat, and if you want to stew it to taste good, you must simmer it for a long time.

However, in this way, the taste of the fish soup will indeed become rich and fragrant, but the taste of the fish will become woody and no longer so tender.

The mushrooms in the side dishes have a fishy smell, which is also because the cooking time is too short.

Because it is a whole fish, the degree of doneness of the fish must be taken into account when stewing. However, if the mushrooms are stewed for too long, the taste of the fish will be biased towards the special aroma of the mushrooms.

Both must be considered, and in the end it will be counterproductive.

It is precisely because of this problem that Fu Yu's thoughts began to think in this direction.

How can we ensure the deliciousness of the fish soup and make the taste of the mushrooms completely free of odor?

We can only find a way to extend the stewing time of the fish. At the same time, side dishes such as mushrooms can also be boiled for a long time.

Fu Yu had this idea, so he began to think over and over again.

The size and fatness of the fresh fish, and the thickness of the mushroom side dishes when cutting.

These will affect the taste of the soup.

However, Fu Yu thought about all these attempts and finally felt that the problem should be solved fundamentally.

Since the whole fish meat is too thick, it is not easy to control the stewing time, so just use the fish head and fish bones to make soup.

Who stipulates that fish soup must have fish meat?

As long as the soup tastes good and the side dishes are delicious, that's enough.

Soon, everyone tasted the fish soup and put down their bowls and plates.

He Jie also saw that everyone's expressions were not right, but the chef was there at this time, so he didn't say much.

After the chef served the fish soup and was taken away from the meeting room.

He Jie said to everyone present: "Come on, there are no outsiders now, everyone can express their opinions and talk about the final evaluation of this innovative soup, but it doesn't matter! I invited everyone here today just to brainstorm and ask for everyone's opinions, and we can also use it as a reference."

As soon as he finished speaking, people began to express their evaluation and thoughts after tasting the fish soup.

Almost everyone's comments were similar.

The soup was delicious and tasted very good, but the fish meat had a general texture and the side dishes were not cooked well enough, which was a flaw.

However, when it came to how to correct it, no one spoke for a while.

To make the fish soup so delicious, there should be no problem with the selection of ingredients.

And when watching the cooking operation just now, the chef's cooking process was also very exquisite, without any problems.

However, the fish soup cooked in this way was a bit disappointing.

Although the main thing to taste fish soup is to drink the soup, since there are ingredients in the soup, you will definitely taste it.

The poor taste of the ingredients affects the quality of the fish soup.

But if all the ingredients are removed, it is impossible to serve the soup directly on the table, which looks too shabby.

For a while, the discussion fell into a stalemate.

He Jie was actually quite worried. This innovative soup he applied for was actually very good, both in terms of concept and the taste of the final product.

It was just that the cooking taste of the ingredients was always a little off.

After repeated discussions, the review team of the Food Association agreed that as long as this flaw could be improved, this soup would become a very successful improved dish.

At the beginning, they also discussed and analyzed for a long time but could not come up with a good improvement plan, so they thought of holding a small cooking exchange meeting to see if they could gather the strengths of all parties and find a good solution.

No one present could provide any valuable suggestions for a while, and He Jie subconsciously looked at Fu Yu, who had been sitting quietly and listening to others' speeches, silently.

At this time, Lu Zhanlong was looking at Fu Yu and asked in a low voice: "Chef Fu, what do you mean by the idea that you don't need to use the whole fish as ingredients? There are no outsiders here, so you can speak freely."

Fu Yu shook his head: "I think that since the taste of fish meat is not very good when stewing fresh fish, it is better to remove it directly. After all, it is an innovative soup, and the main thing is to ensure the taste of the fish soup."

After listening to this, Lu Zhanlong would definitely not believe Fu Yu's excuse.

Through this period of contact, he had long discovered that Fu Yu always meant what he said. Since he expressed such an opinion, he must have thought that this improved operation was more appropriate.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhanlong raised his head and winked at He Jie.

He Jie was paying attention to what was happening on Fu Yu's side. When he saw Lu Zhanlong's expression, he immediately understood and said quickly: "Xiao Fu, would you like to share your opinion? Since it is an exchange meeting, everyone should talk about it. Let’s talk, talk freely!”

Suddenly being called by name, Fu Yu hurriedly sat upright, and other people around him looked over.

Fu Yu could only say: "I think the best way to improve it is to directly replace the ingredients when cooking."

One word!

Suddenly the scene fell silent!

Lu Zhanlong was shocked.

No, just now it was said that the fish meat was removed. How come it has become a replacement of ingredients now?

The fresh fish soup that the chef applied for is made from fresh fish. Now that the ingredients have been replaced, wouldn’t the soup have completely changed?

Ingredients substitution?

The real downfall of this soup is the texture of the fish and side dishes.

But it cannot be denied that the fish soup tastes really delicious and unique.

If the ingredients were directly replaced, the taste would definitely be different.

Therefore, when He Jie heard Fu Yu say this, he immediately frowned!

And the surrounding group of senior chefs in the food industry looked at Fu Yu disapprovingly. After all, he was still too young, and it was inevitable that he would not think things through carefully.

However, Lu Zhanlong still said at this time: "Let's listen to Xiao Fu's opinion first. If the replacement of ingredients can not only ensure the quality of the fish soup, but also improve the taste of the ingredients, that would be a good thing."

However, this statement cannot be recognized by everyone.

Someone immediately said directly: "After the ingredients are replaced, is it still fish soup? The innovative dish submitted is this soup. Even the ingredients have been changed. What is the significance of this innovation?"

"Yes, I also think this suggestion is not very good. Since the soup tastes good, but the only difference is in the texture of the ingredients, then we should still find a solution based on the cooking heat and time."

Listening to everyone's speech, Lu Zhanlong felt a little complicated for a while.

Although he didn't say it with his mouth, he still quite agreed with everyone's statement in his heart.

but!

Fu Yu's words made him unable to help but think about them.

If the ingredients are replaced, should the fresh fish be replaced directly, or should it be replaced with another variety of fresh fish?

Hearing everyone's objections, Fu Yu couldn't help but sigh. He had known that he would not have said it just now.

At this time, He Jie did not directly deny or appease the proposal like everyone else.

He is the vice-president of the Food Association and the person in charge of the innovative dishes approval group. It is his responsibility to approve or reject the application. He certainly cannot express his opinion casually, let alone approve or reject the application easily.

Moreover, he now has a certain understanding of Fu Yu, and he also knows that Fu Yu will not be aimless.

After everyone finished expressing their opinions, He Jie looked directly at Fu Yu and asked, "Xiao Fu, can you elaborate on your idea of ​​replacing ingredients?"

When Fu Yu spoke just now, he was rushing to the shelves. He only had a general idea and did not think deeply about it.

However, after everyone's discussion just now, he slowly straightened out his thoughts.

Fu Yu thought about it and said, "Through the cooking observation just now, I carefully paid attention to the details of the operation and the entire cooking process, and found that the chef has a very high level of cooking skills and has no problem handling the details. "

"It stands to reason that the taste of this soup should be impeccable, but in fact the fish soup is really delicious, and the idea of ​​using soy milk instead of water to cook it is also very creative. But after tasting it carefully, I found the taste of the fish. It’s not tender enough, because the soup itself is very bland, and the meat of the grass carp is too fat, which also results in a lack of flavor in the middle part, which affects the experience of drinking the soup.”

"At the same time, the mushrooms used as side dishes are not delicious enough because the stewing time needs to match the cooking time of the fish, so the delicious taste of the mushrooms is not cooked out."

"If the ingredients remain unchanged, it would be very difficult to improve the taste of this soup through heat and time."

"So, I thought that since the main problem of stewed taste difference lies in fresh fish, I would simply remove the fish meat and use fish heads and fish bones to make soup. And since we use fish heads and fish bones to make soup, So silver carp is far better than grass carp in terms of deliciousness and delicate meat texture, especially the head of silver carp is larger, rich in colloid, and the soup produced is thicker. "

“Using silver carp heads and fish bones to make soup, and then stewing it with mushroom side dishes, you can extend the cooking time without any worries.”

"In this way, I can better weigh the taste and texture of the ingredients and soup, which is also the main factor I consider when making ingredient substitutions."

Fu Yu's remarks extended from the taste problem of fish soup to the factors that caused the problem, to the difficulties in cooking the entire soup, and the benefits and improvements that would be brought about by making changes.

Well-founded and well-articulated.

Suddenly!

The entire conference room fell silent, even those who had been doubting it just now were silent.

He Jie couldn't help but want to clap his hands and praise him. This cooking thinking was extremely meticulous, and he was even better than these master chefs present!

Lu Zhanlong felt like he was on a roller coaster in his heart, with all the ups and downs. Before he could calm down, the next wave of heights hit him again.

He really felt that Fu Yu's idea was a bit too simple before. He only thought about how to improve the taste of the soup, but ignored the original intention of submitting the soup itself to apply for the quota of innovative dishes.

Looking at it now, it turns out that I was too narrow-minded.

Who said that changing ingredients must change the cooking process and taste of the soup?

As expected of Fu Yu!

Lu Zhanlong felt deeply ashamed for his previous doubts about Yu.

He Jie made a decision directly and said: "There happens to be cooking conditions here. Let's prepare the ingredients according to Xiao Fu's instructions. Let's cook and see. When making soup, it is difficult to make accurate judgments without tasting it. ”

So, He Jie turned around and told Cheng Muyun to contact him to purchase and prepare the ingredients. He also called the chef who submitted the application to come to the conference room and communicated in detail about his suggestions and ideas for replacing the ingredients.

The chef was very surprised. Unexpectedly, after they held an exchange meeting, they decided to replace the cooking ingredients.

However, regarding the taste of the soup, the chef himself actually knows it well.

However, in terms of the taste of fish and side dishes, ordinary customers will not notice such subtle problems at all when dining.

This means that all the chefs present are experienced chefs, so they can pinpoint the problems with the soup in one sentence.

The chef has no objections to He Jie's decision. Anyway, as long as this innovative dish can pass the review, he will still be the one to submit the innovation application.

When the display area called to report, all the ingredients were ready.

He Jie specially sent Cheng Muyun to take Fu Yu and the chef to the exhibition area.

Others stayed in the conference room and waited for a while to observe the cooking demonstration.

Soon, Fu Yu and the chef following him appeared on the big screen.

Everyone in the conference room was staring at the big screen intently. Although everyone felt that what Fu Yu said was quite reasonable, it was still hard to believe that no matter what, fresh fish would definitely be more delicious than fish soup made from fish heads. Bar?

How can you remove all the fish meat?
