Reborn – Super Chef

Wuwei Salted Duck is a famous Anhui dish. The word Wuwei in the name of this dish does not have any special meaning, but because the place where this dish is produced is called Wuwei County, the name of Wuwei Salted Duck is proud of it.

This Wuwei Salted Duck is also called Wuwei Smoked Duck. It has a history of two hundred years. It is a well-known name among duck lovers. They are all secrets, and outsiders have no way of knowing the brine ingredients, smoked and roasted heat, etc.

In Ye Chui's previous life, he studied delicacies from all over the country. He spent a period of time researching and exploring Wuwei salted duck, but he vaguely figured out the secret recipes of Wuwei salted duck. He The Wuwei salted duck made can already be regarded as authentic.

At this time, smelling the smoked duck made by Dong Qian, it made Ye Chui vaguely think of this Wuwei salted duck. In fact, many Chinese recipes in the world have similarities. After all, the cooking method is fixed and changeable. It's just the mastery of certain ingredients and heat.

And some dishes can be passed down for a hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer, and naturally have their unique features. Under similar cooking methods, this kind of dish is already the ultimate in deliciousness. Since Dong Qian's cooking method Close to Wuwei salted duck, then her way of cooking duck meat, the best way is the cooking method of Wuwei salted duck.

As the aroma spread, after a while, Dong Qian walked out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced ​​duck meat. She put the plate in front of Ye Chui with some expectation, and said with a light smile: "Please try my dish."

The smoked duck made by Dong Qian has been cut into strips and placed on a plate. The color of the duck meat is a deep yellowish black color, with some coriander and celery dotted on it. For women, this aspect is thoughtful and well done, which is very palatable.

Ye Chui nodded in satisfaction, picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of smoked duck meat, and sent it to his mouth.

"Ye Chui, when eating smoked duck, you should dip it in the dipping sauce before putting it in your mouth, so that the taste will be the most beautiful." Dong Youyou hurriedly reminded.

Ye Chui shook his head with a smile, and put the bacon directly into his mouth.

Dong Qian said from the side: "The dipping sauce is to match the taste of the bacon, and it is for the enjoyment of the diners, but if you want to taste whether a dish is good enough, the best way is to taste it in your mouth without dipping it in the sauce."

"Oh, so that's the case." Dong Youyou nodded understandingly.

While Dong Youyou was talking to Dong Qian, Ye Chui had already finished a mouthful of dishes, and the two women immediately looked at Ye Chui expectantly, while Pan Qingguo, Su Xin, Huang Yong, Meng Gang and other waiters knew that Dong Qian was cooking for Ye Chui to appreciate , They all stood curiously from a distance and looked over. This smoked duck has a rich flavor and mouth watering. It must be very delicious. I don't know what Ye Chui's judgment will be?

After taking a bite of the smoked duck, Ye Chui tasted it for a while, and then said to Dong Qian: "If it's ten points, I can only give this dish six points."

"What?" Dong Youyou suddenly became unhappy, and stared at Ye Chui, "How is it possible that my sister's food is only six points?"

Dong Qian was not unhappy at all, but hurriedly pulled Dong Youyou: "Youyou, don't be angry." She looked at Ye Chui, "You give six points, which means you can taste the flaws in this dish, right? ?”

"That's right, there are indeed some things that need to be improved in this dish." Ye Chui nodded in acknowledgment.

"Where is it?" Dong Qian hurriedly asked.

Ye Chui thought for a while, then stood up and said, "It's hard to explain directly, I see you bought a few more ducks just now, why don't I show you directly..." Saying this, Ye Chui laughed again Get up, "You bought these more ducks, I'm afraid you just made up your mind and want to cook more times, right?"

Dong Qian admitted with a smile: "That's right."

Ye Chui smiled and saw that the time was just in the evening, so he said, "Well, I'll go to the kitchen to do it myself."

Dong Qian showed a very interested expression, and Dong Youyou also put a smile on her face. She has eaten the delicious food made by Ye Chui many times, and she cherishes it very much.

Soon Dong Qian and Dong Youyou followed Ye Chui to the kitchen.

But Pan Qingguo and others were all surprised: It seems that Ye Chui is going to show Dong Qian how to cook?

Dong Qian is a six-star chef...

Lu Bing is a five-star chef. Although there is only one star difference between a five-star chef and a six-star chef, there is a big difference in cooking skills. They can accept that Ye Chui's cooking skills are better than Lu Bing's, but now... even if Do six-star chefs ask Ye Chui for cooking skills?

They know that Ye Chui is very powerful, but... this is too powerful!

No wonder he can be Tian Xiaodu's master!

"Boss!" Meng Gang couldn't help but said when he walked past Pan Qingguo and the others. He looked at the plate of smoked duck in the hall, and said with some greed, "What about this duck?"

Dong Qian glanced at Meng Gang and the others: "If you don't dislike it, then share the food. I will work here in the future, so it's a meeting gift."

Although her personality is deserted, she is not ignorant of the world.

Those waiters already felt the taste of this dish was very attractive when Dong Qian was cooking it. Now that they could eat it in their own mouths, they would naturally not refuse. They quickly agreed and rushed towards the dish.

Ye Chui smiled, and led the two girls into the kitchen.

The few ducks bought by Dong Qian are locked in a cage and placed in a corner of the kitchen. Most of the ducks that can be bought in Yanjing are free-range teals. In fact, the best ingredients for making Wuwei salted duck are Use shemp duck, but this world is different from Ye Chui's first life, and there is no way to limit the ingredients.

Ye Chui walked up to a cage, reached in and grabbed a duck, dragged it out of the cage, cut the throat to let the blood out, and after the duck died, put it in hot water to pluck its feathers. This is the process of killing chickens and ducks. There is nothing special about it.

But when taking out the duck's viscera, Ye Chui's method was quite different: he didn't directly separate the duck's abdomen, but cut open under the duck's armpit, and took out the duck's viscera from here.

"Do you want to kill ducks like this?" Dong Youyou asked Ye Chui with a look of surprise.

"It's not necessary to kill like this, but it's best not to damage the body of the smoked duck and roast duck, so as to keep the freshness of the duck as much as possible. This is a trick." Ye Chui said with a smile, but looked at Dong Qian.

When Dong Qian dealt with ducks just now, she naturally killed ducks in the usual way. At this time, she nodded thoughtfully: "So there is such a trick here."

Ye Chui handled a duck very deftly and skillfully, which made Dong Youyou quite emotional: "He killed and cleaned a duck faster than your elder sister. When I was working in Hainan chicken rice, I I feel that his movements are different, and I don’t know how to practice them.”

"This is also about talent." Dong Qian said with emotion.

When she saw Ye Chui for the first time, she didn't take Ye Chui seriously at all. When she saw that Tian Xiaodu recognized Ye Chui as her master, she looked down on Tian Xiaodu a little bit, but now that kind of contempt has already become In addition to respect, Ye Chui is indeed qualified to be his master, qualified to teach them these six-star chefs.

The cooked duck meat was put into a large basin, filled with half a basin of warm water, and then Ye Chui sprinkled salt into it. This was to be marinated for a period of time to let the salt taste into the meat. This process usually It will take about an hour.

But Ye Chui has another way to speed up this step: he began to massage the duck meat with both hands.

The massage technique is also very unique. The speed should be moderate, so that the duck meat can fully contact with the salt without damaging the duck tissue.

This massage technique may seem simple, but it is not easy to master it well. Ye Chui taught Tian Xiaodu this massage technique, and it took at least a month for Ye Chui to feel satisfied.

This kind of massage can not only let the salt taste, but also let the warm water in the basin wash away the blood in the duck.

Ten minutes later, Ye Chui took the duck out of the pot and put it on the chopping board, then patted the duck meat lightly, this is to squeeze out the water from the duck as soon as possible.

In fact, there is another step in this process, which is to smear the duck's body surface with nitrate.

The so-called nitrate water is a liquid containing potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate, which is mainly used to color meat products and make the meat rosy, but Ye Chui does not recommend using this kind of thing.

Because nitric water is harmful to the human body, if heated, it will produce toxic substances such as nitrite.

This step is therefore omitted by Ye Chui.

Then Ye Chui set up a pot, poured water to boil, and put the duck through the boiling water again. This process was also thought of by Dong Qian before. It can make the skin of the duck shrink and tighten, and it is easy to peel, which is good for the next smoked roast. The process is also crucial for a reason.

After taking it out of the boiling water, wipe the whole body of the duck with a damp cloth.

At this time, according to the authentic roast duck, the skin of the duck will be removed, but Ye Chui does not plan to peel the skin now, the peeling process will be left after the smoking is completed.

The next step is the crucial smoking process.

The kitchen appliances in the kitchen are brand new, including a dedicated charcoal oven.

In fact, the most authentic method of smoking Wuwei salted duck is to smoke and roast with fir chips, but fir is not so easy to find, so this step can only be omitted.

The restaurant's oven is specially prepared for some barbecue food. Ye Chui lights up the charcoal, puts the iron rod on it, and puts the duck on it to smoke and roast.

"Eh?" Dong Youyou found something, and asked strangely, "Shouldn't the duck be smeared with seasoning before being smoked and roasted at this time? I think my sister always does that."

"No, after the duck is smoked, it needs to be stewed again, and the seasoning can be added when the duck is stewed."

Ye Chui explained with a smile. (~^~)
