Chapter 440 Sour and Sweet

Sour and sweet.

This is the question Yuan Qian clicked to stop.

Jiang Yang frowned, what kind of dishes should be cooked for this topic?

Sweet and sour refer to a wide range.The so-called sweet does not only refer to sugar; the so-called sour does not only refer to vinegar.Among the ingredients used in cooking, many ingredients have their own sweetness, and many ingredients have their own sourness.Don't just treat this topic as sugar and vinegar!

Jiang Yang understood, and so did Yuan Qian.

"The two chefs please hurry up and choose the ingredients! The competition time is only two hours!" said the supervisor.

Jiang Yang and Yuan Qian were silent for a while, then walked to the ingredients area.

The topic is not difficult to understand, as long as there are sour and sweet tastes in the cooking dishes.The most common taste type is sweet and sour, but whether it is mainly sweet or sour is a difficult problem.

Yuan Qian didn't think for too long. Every minute and every second during the game is precious and should not be wasted!

The topic is very simple, just look at what dishes you cook.

Soon, Yuan Qian made a decision!Carrying a basket of ingredients, he was picking in the ingredients area.

Jiang Yang thought about the dishes he knew, among which were sweet and sour dishes: sweet and sour fish, fish-flavored shredded pork.

So, what dish should you choose?

Jiang Yang thought about it.

Soon, Jiang Yang decided on the dishes.Just cook fish-flavored shredded pork!This dish is learned from my father, and it is also the best dish I have learned.

The fish-flavored pork shreds that Jiang Yang cooks now are not the same as before. With the improvement of cooking skills, Jiang Yang's understanding of fish-flavored pork shreds is getting deeper and deeper.Now the fish-flavored pork shreds he cooks are no worse than other dishes he knows.

Think about it!Jiang Yang came to the meat section to choose pork.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, choose the best tenderloin, it will have a firm taste when eaten, and only in this way can it be delicious.

After choosing the tenderloin, Jiang Yang went to choose other ingredients.

Lettuce and fermented fungus are what Jiangyang needs.

This competition is worthy of the organizer's great efforts. Jiang Yang can find most of the commonly used ingredients and condiments here.

Pickled red peppers are also available here, and Jiang Yang chose a few.

Picking from east to west, Jiang Yang selected all the ingredients and condiments before returning to the stove.

The tenderloin needs to be shredded. For Jiangyang in the past, it took a lot of effort to cut the tenderloin into fine and uniform shreds.Now Jiangyang knife skills have made great progress, and shredding is not as difficult as before.

Picking up this unfamiliar kitchen knife, Jiang Yang took a potato and sliced ​​it.

Every kitchen knife is different, due to the difference in weight, sharpness, and even the shape of the kitchen knife, all lead to differences in kitchen knives.Even if it is made by a machine, it cannot be exactly the same.

Of course, these gaps are difficult to feel, and only chefs with a certain level of knife skills can feel the gap.Of course, it's just a feeling, and it's impossible to tell how much the difference is.

Jiang Yang cut the potatoes first because he was familiar with the feel of the knife and showed his true level.

In fantasy terms, each knife has its own character, and the chef needs to understand it in order to develop his own level.

After getting familiar with the kitchen knife in his hand, Jiang Yang began to cut the meat.

Of course, he is only a little familiar with it, and it does not affect his performance, but it is not enough time to do it like a wave of arms.

The shredded pork was quickly cut out by Jiang Yang, followed by fungus and lettuce.

Yuan Qian also chose pork tenderloin.But the dishes he was going to cook were completely different from Jiang Yang's.

Yuan Qian cut the tenderloin into thick slices, and then cut the meat slices with flower knives.The depth and interval of the flower knife here are exquisite, and it is not just a matter of just a few strokes.

Next, Yuan Qian began to mix the pochina and the sliced ​​tenderloin with starch, and put it aside for later use.

Jiang Yang began to shred the lettuce, remove the outer layer of skin, and choose the best-tasting cut.The shredded lettuce is also particular about the cut, not the thinner the better, but the appropriate thickness and uniformity.Shredded lettuce that is too thin will be broken into slag when it is turned with a spoon in the pot.Moreover, the lettuce shreds that are too thin are not crisp enough.

Then cut the selected fungus into shreds. It is more difficult to shred the fungus. First of all, the fungus itself is irregular and round.
If it is cut without waste, it is basically impossible. This is the limitation of the ingredients themselves.

Jiang Yang had no choice but to waste everything and strive for perfection.

Why does Jiang Yang always pursue uniformity?The reason is simple, the uniform shape makes it easy to control the heat.To take an extreme example, if you fry a whole potato and a thin shredded potato in a pan, which one will cook first?

Of course, there will not be such an extreme gap in actual cooking, but the gap in uneven thickness is still there.If there is a gap, one will lose sight of the other, and the most perfect fire will not be achieved.

Two people are preparing, two hours to prepare a dish, the time is completely enough.It's just that both of them are pursuing perfection, so the speed inevitably slows down.

…………

Jiangyang's hometown.

Grandma Jiangyang looked nervous, and unconsciously clenched her hands together.There was no nervous expression on Grandpa Jiangyang's face, but he hadn't had tea for a long time.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked bored, unlike the short video, where a dish takes a few minutes.The live broadcast of the game did not fast-forward, and it was played bit by bit, which naturally felt boring.

It was almost noon now, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the time, and said to the four elders who were sitting on the sofa watching the live broadcast: "I'll go down and cook first."

After finishing speaking, no one paid attention to Jiang Xiaoyu, not even her own parents.

Jiang Xiaoyu pouted secretly, but went downstairs anyway.

Jiang Yang's status in the family has always been higher than hers. Although her parents, grandparents and grandparents did not treat her badly and did not treat her differently, Jiang Xiaoyu could feel that Jiang Yang's status was higher than hers because of the girl's sensitivity.

She didn't have any feelings of jealousy. She could understand the thoughts of her elders. After all, Jiang Yang wanted to inherit the incense of the Jiang family.

Soon, Jiang Xiaoyu shook her head and threw out these thoughts.We all went to watch the Jiangyang game, and no one was cooking, so we had to come by ourselves, otherwise we would all starve.

…………

"Mr. Meng, there is a document that I need you to look over." An employee walked in and said.

Meng Wanqiu said softly, "Put it on the table."

"Okay." The employee backed out.

Meng Wanqiu didn't take her eyes off her phone for half a minute until the employees left.

The files on the desk have not been moved either.

…………

Yuan Qian is almost ready, the next step is to start cooking.

Coincidentally, Jiang Yang also handled the ingredients well.Minced ginger, minced garlic, crushed pickled peppers, and chopped green onion are all ready, just cooking.

Yuan Qian burned half a pot of oil, put the marinated meat into the pot and fried it.
