Chapter 77 Cucumber Salad
So much easier tonight than cooking in the kitchen.
After all, I have only cooked three dishes. According to the current progress, it should be finished before 10 p.m.
It's impossible to leave early, but it's okay to end it early.
Soon, the tasting of the two dishes was over, and the comment session began.
As a reviewer, Liu Wenke still commented on Xu Yang's fish-flavored shredded pork from four aspects.
"Xu Yang, congratulations, our score for this dish is 79 points."
"Thank you, Chef Liu and all the chefs."
"You're welcome. This is the score you should get. We are very surprised. I didn't expect Xu Yang that you can make such a dish at this age. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it."
Liu Wenke was shocked at the beginning, and then slowly accepted it.
But still feel very shocked.
They knew that Xu Yangzhao would be able to reach Cai Yunsong's height sooner or later if he continued like this, and even surpass him without any obstacles.
The age is displayed here, which makes people have to believe it.
For Xu Yang, the score of 79 points is still within the acceptable range.
The shape and color scores of this dish are the same as twice-cooked pork, with 8 points and 11 points.
The difference is that the fragrance only got 12 points, but the taste got 48 points, which is one more point overall.
Two different dishes have the same star rating, but that doesn't mean everything is the same.
They judge according to their own ideas. The two dishes have the same score in four aspects, but something is wrong.
"Chef Liu, you can't say that. I still say that. These dishes are because I am good at it. It's hard to say if it's another dish."
The chief liberal arts thought he was being modest, so he just smiled and asked him to continue to work hard.
Obviously, they did not believe what Xu Yang said.
Then, I reviewed Cai Yuan’s pepper beef.
As Xu Yang guessed, he should be good at this dish, and finally got 80 points.
It was one point higher than his dish, but it was considered a high-quality dish. Even though it was one point, in the eyes of those present, it was not just a one-point gap.
After the review was over, Cai Yunsong's dishes were still unavailable.
Cai Yunsong smiled and said: "This dish took a long time, in my opinion, there is no time to cook another dish."
Zhao Leijun looked at it, and it would indeed take a while. A group of people can't just wait here and waste time.
"Old Liu, what do you think?"
"I have no objection. You have to wait until it is ready to taste it. If you rush it, it will affect the taste."
He suddenly thought of something, and suggested: "Old Zhao, how about this, anyway, Master Cai is still busy, how about asking Xu Yang to cook another dish."
Neither Zhao Leijun nor Xu Yang expected to make such a request.
The menu is negotiated in advance, and who will cook is also decided in advance. Generally, the chef and the menu will not be changed in any way.
Since the discussion was good, it means that they agreed at the time.
Suddenly changing the menu and cooking chef, thinking it is taking advantage, will definitely not agree.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wenke took the initiative to bring it up now.
But there is no reason to refuse.
Zhao Leijun smiled and said, "Xu Yang, I'm just trying to help you."
It's not a discussion tone, it's a direct decision.
"Okay, I see."
Zhao Leijun then handed the menu to Xu Yang and said, "This is Master Cai's five dishes. In addition to the sweet and sour pork ribs and Dengying beef that have been cooked, you can choose any one of the remaining two cold dishes."
Xu Yang took it over and saw that there were only cold cucumbers and northern Sichuan jelly left.
Because it is an exchange of cooking skills, the dishes selected are very common.
These two dishes often appear on the table of every household in summer, especially cold cucumber is more common.
As for the northern Sichuan jelly, it is also a cold dish that goes out very much.
"Chef, I choose cold cucumber."
"Okay, let's have cucumber salad."
There is no other reason to choose this dish, just because it is unlocked and it is a two-star dish.
Chuanbei jelly is not unlocked, and he has not made it himself, so the taste can be imagined.
It's fine to try it at home, this is a cooking exchange, how can it be casual.
In case something goes wrong, this responsibility is not small, and it is completely unnecessary.
"By the way, Lao Liu, this dish was originally in the rating range, but now it is handed over to Xu Yang, so the rating and score will remain the same."
Just now Xu Yang got high marks for the three dishes. Although he hasn't heard about this dish, it shouldn't be too bad.
If you don't calculate the score, you might as well leave it to Cai Yunsong. Scores are much more important than time.
"Of course, just skip those three dishes, this dish will definitely be strictly reviewed and rated."
After discussing it, Xu Yang and Cai Yuan started cooking.
This cucumber salad can be said to be simple.
Bringing the ingredients prepared by Cai Yunsong, Xu Yang was ready to start making.
The prepared ingredients include cucumber, peanuts, chili oil, sesame oil, salt, sugar, garlic and soy sauce.
The first step is to peel the cucumber.
In fact, this step can be done without peeling, depending on personal preference.
Of course, you can do whatever you want at home, but not in restaurants. They usually peel it for customers before making it.
Unless the customer has a special request to peel or not, it must be made according to the customer's request.
After peeling the cucumbers, smash them flat with a knife, but not too fine.
Then cut it into small pieces of uniform size, so that the cut cucumber will be easier to taste and taste better when it is cold.
Compared with cucumbers that have not been photographed, the taste of cucumbers that have been photographed will also be different. Of course, the former is better.
The cold cucumber also has another name called cucumber shooting, which is the essence after shooting.
In the second step, put the cucumber pieces in a basin, and then put them in salt to marinate for a while.
During the pickling process, Xu Yang also watched the progress of the other two.
Cai Yunsong's Dengying beef should come to an end and be ready to be served immediately.
Cai Yuan was intensifying her cooking.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, Xu Yang put the prepared chili oil, crushed peanuts, sugar and garlic into it and stirred them evenly.
After stirring almost, add sesame oil, and finally sprinkle a little green onion.
One is very suitable for summer, and the cold cucumber with appetizers is ready.
After gesturing to Zhang Yang, he brought it to the tasting table.
"Xu Yang, your cold cucumber is ready."
"Yes, it's already made."
Xu Yang looked at the other two people and said, "Chef, do you want to wait for the two chefs or give your review first?"
Zhao Leijun glanced at the progress of the other two.
"Wait a little longer, the dishes of the two masters should be out of the pot soon, let's comment together, yours is a cold dish, and it won't affect the taste if you leave it for a while."
Xu Yang nodded.
If it is a hot dish, some of it will be left for a long time, which will indeed affect the taste.
Of course, there was no need to rush for his cold cucumber dish, and he waited with everyone else nearby.
