EBE Chapter 375 Trying New Dishes
Chapter 375 Trying New Dishes
"So many sauces I've never seen before."
Wang Pangzi stood aside and sighed to Yunniang.
Although Yunniang didn't like talking to him, she agreed with what he said.
In all her years of cooking, this was the first time she had ever seen so many seasonings.
Keep the heat at a medium boil, then pour the prepared chili oil into the pot, followed by the prepared broth, making the aroma even richer.
Then add coarse salt and oyster sauce for seasoning.
Once the soup boils again, vegetables such as lotus root slices, taro, and kelp are added to blanch, followed by ingredients like fish balls and shrimp balls.
At this stage, the aroma becomes even more complex.
Next, she poured most of the chopped roast duck pieces into the boiling red soup.
The hot soup instantly enveloped the duck meat, producing a pleasant sizzling sound.
"Mao" means to quickly simmer a roasted duck in a special broth, allowing it to absorb the flavor of the broth, but it cannot be cooked for too long, otherwise the crispy skin of the roasted duck will lose its texture.
As she gently stirred the duck meat in the pot with long chopsticks, she explained to the two of them, "Timing is crucial."
The two nodded in agreement.
The bright red broth continuously washes over the crispy duck skin, and the originally dry roast duck becomes visibly oily and plump, deeply absorbing the spicy and savory flavor of the broth.
The complex aroma has distinct layers.
First comes the aroma of roasted duck, followed by the bold and spicy flavor of the broth.
Old Lu was instantly awakened by the aroma.
The craftsmen working outside in the ice cellar couldn't suppress their restless hearts upon smelling this aroma.
After a short while, Xu Yiyi raised her wrist and quickly scooped up the cooked duck meat, placing it into a large bowl lined with other cooked ingredients.
Without pausing, she scooped up a large spoonful of boiling broth and poured it over the duck meat in the bowl, almost submerging it.
Then, he neatly sprinkled on some chopped garlic and scallions, and garnished it with a pinch of toasted white sesame seeds.
"Xu Yiyi! You've been eating alone behind my back!"
Old Lu stood at the door, his eyes bulging with anger, hands on his hips.
"Let's try some new dishes!"
Xu Yiyi said helplessly, "Come and try it."
The group could no longer contain themselves and quickly gathered around.
In the large bowl, the bright red broth rippled gently, glistening with oil. The dark brown duck meat was half-submerged in it, its skin slightly softened yet still showing faint traces of crisp texture. The duck meat, soaked in the broth, had distinct muscle fibers.
The vibrant green scallions, the pure white minced garlic and sesame seeds are a perfect complement, making it exceptionally beautiful in terms of color alone.
"It will definitely taste delicious."
Aunt Fu smiled and handed chopsticks and bowls to everyone.
Xu Yiyi turned around and took another soup spoon, putting it into the large bowl.
The hot, spicy, and fragrant steam hits your face, and the aroma fills your nostrils.
Xu Yiyi smiled slightly, "Let's taste it first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lao Lu picked up a soup spoon and scooped a large spoonful of vegetables into his bowl.
The first bite of duck meat reveals the unique texture of the slightly crispy yet tender skin, followed by the burst of spicy and savory broth in your mouth, and then the rich aroma of the roast duck itself.
Several exquisite flavors are layered together, creating a truly perfect taste.
The food made everyone's eyes light up, and they exclaimed in amazement.
"How about it?"
Xu Yiyi put down her chopsticks and asked the others.
"It's delicious. This way of eating is very novel. It's another dish that can rival Mala Xiang Guo (a type of spicy stir-fry), but it's a bit too salty."
After saying that, Xu Yiyi quickly tasted the roast duck and compared it with the other dishes.
"The roast duck was a bit too salty, but the other dishes were quite flavorful."
Yunniang nodded in agreement.
"The ducks are marinated with seasonings before going into the oven, and then scalded again, so the flavor is stronger."
Xu Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "When you marinate the duck later, use less salt."
"But the spicy hot pot has only been on the menu for two days, and the customers are still enjoying it. Isn't it a bit too hasty to introduce new dishes so soon?"
Old Lu stood beside the cutting board, munching away, his brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly.
The spicy aroma of chili oil swirled in the air.
Xu Yiyi was using long chopsticks to stir the boiling duck blood in the pot, without looking up: "Who said we were going to serve it now?"
"Next month, when the weather gets colder, a steaming hot roast duck paired with rice wine, do you think the guests will come?"
What Xu Yiyi needs to do now is to first test the dishes, and then teach Wang Pangzi and Yunniang how to cook them.
When the new dishes arrive, we won't be in a rush.
Old Lu nodded, knowing that Xu Yiyi had a plan in mind.
……
Ruyiju, which is right next to Wufu Restaurant, was the first to smell the aroma. Hong Gang sat inside, expressionless.
But the servant knew that this man was furious.
I don't want to get close at all.
But then Hong Gang called him.
"Come here!"
