Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

The trick Lin Xu wants to add is poached eggs.

But it cannot be ordinary poached eggs, as that will make the whole bowl of noodles lose its artistic conception and style.

He planned to use minced chicken and egg whites together to make the white part of the poached eggs.

As for the yolk part.

He originally planned to mix salted duck egg yolk and quail egg yolk together.

But I thought it was not enough, so I went to the warehouse in Building 2 to search around, and finally found a can of crab roe.

Well, compared to other egg yolks, the quality of crab roe is somewhat higher.

Crab roe alone is easy to get tired of, so he added some crab powder to neutralize the crab roe and crab paste to increase the taste.

Chop all the crab roe, crab powder, and crab paste, add a little dry starch into it, and stir it into a slightly thick paste. Not to mention, it is somewhat similar to egg yolk.

"Junior brother, what are you doing?"

Xie Baomin found that the noodles were about to be cooked, but his junior brother was missing, so he went out to search and found Lin Xu busy in the small kitchen.

"I think the noodles in clear soup are a bit bland, so I plan to add a poached egg."

Poached eggs?

Xie Baomin took a look at the freshly prepared crab roe in the bowl, with a surprised expression on his face:

"Fuck, I never thought of this. Junior brother, you are so smart, you actually thought of using crab roe as egg yolk to make poached eggs. And for the egg white... are you going to use minced chicken and egg white for the egg white?"

Look, this is senior brother.

Even if I hadn't thought of it before, when I saw Lin Xu doing it, I could immediately think of the specific method.

He is worthy of being the king among chefs, and his talent is really enviable.

Lin Xu said:

"Senior brother is really amazing. He guessed my intention right away."

Xie Baomin smiled and shouted outside:

"Xue Sheng, get some lard over here... hurry up, we need it urgently."

Lin Xu had already prepared the yolk part of the poached eggs, and he brought over the minced chicken that Qiu Zhenhua smashed bit by bit with the back of a knife.

Add a little salt, white pepper, caster sugar, two large handfuls of starch powder and three egg whites.

Under normal circumstances, you don’t need to add cornstarch when making hibiscus chicken slices, but this is to make the finished product more like egg white, so you need to add some cornstarch that has a smooth texture and whiter color.

In this way, the appearance of the poached eggs is whiter and more delicate, and closer to the appearance of real egg whites.

As for adding egg white, it acts as a binder and makes the egg white taste better.

He was originally going to beat the egg whites, but after thinking about it, the beaten egg whites would make the finished product have many dense bubbles, which was not beautiful overall, so he gave up.

After getting ready, Zhao Xuesheng also brought the lard over.

The reason why lard is used, just like the fried noodles in the next room, is to avoid coloring. If other fats are used, it will most likely be dyed golden yellow or even heavier.

Only lard is pure and colorless.

There will be no color at all when fried at low temperature, so the fried egg whites will still be white and the presentation will be more perfect.

The oil temperature is 30% hot, and then adjusted to low heat.

Lin Xu took a slightly flatter spoon and dipped it in the oil to shake off the excess grease. Then he scooped a little bit of the protein paste into a thick layer on the bottom of the spoon.

Then use a small spoon to scoop two spoons of egg yolk mixed with crab roe into the middle, and spread it slightly into an oval shape.

Finally, pour some egg white batter to completely cover the egg yolk, and basically fill the spoon, so that it can look like a poached egg to the maximum extent.

Just put the spoon into the pot and reach it directly to the bottom of the pot.

Don't move it as soon as you put it in, just fry it with the spoon. Only when the surface tightens slightly can you carefully pull the spoon out of the pot.

This is a process that tests your patience.

Fortunately, there are many spoons in the Diaoyutai kitchen. Lin Xu found five or six spoons of the same style at one time, so that he could make five or six poached eggs in one pot.

The egg whites coagulate slowly during low-temperature frying, but you can still see the progress.

At first, the protein on the surface will sway around as the oil floats, and there will even be some fine white foam floating on the oil surface.

As the surface solidifies, these proteins become quiet.

But I can't move yet.

Continue to wait until a gap appears on the edge of the spoon due to the shrinkage of the egg whites due to solidification, then gently hold the spoon and tilt it slowly.

When the temperature reaches 90 degrees, the whole white fake poached egg will roll out of the spoon and spread flat on the bottom of the pot.

At this point it has basically taken shape, you just need to fry it for a while longer to allow the egg white inside to completely solidify.

Don't worry about the egg yolk inside being raw, because whether it's crab roe, crab powder or crab paste, it's all cooked and can be eaten with a little heat.

Not long after, the poached eggs were officially ready.

Xie Baomin brought a small pot of clear soup that he had made before and said:

"Take it out and rinse it in the soup first to rinse out the excess fat. This will make it look better. I can't wait to take a photo and show it to the master. He must be very excited."

Who would have thought that clear soup noodles would be improved into clear soup noodles with poached eggs.

Lin Xu took out a few cooked ones and started making the next pot.

The head chefs are all here today. Making one bowl is definitely not enough to eat, so at least everyone needs to have one bowl.

Xie Baomin saw that the next pot would have to wait for a while, so he took the soup basin and took away the poached eggs.

When we arrived in the next room, the noodles had been fried. Qiu Zhenhua took them out and put them into the clear soup. Like poached eggs, these noodles also need to be soaked in the clear soup to remove the oil and soften them.

After softening, the noodles are closer to what they usually look like, but they are countless times thinner.

"Lao Xie, let me start putting it into the bowl...what is it that you are holding?"

Xie Baomin said proudly:

"My junior brother felt that the noodles in clear soup were too bland, so he made some poached eggs."

Song Dahai muttered:

"This clear soup is not an ordinary clear soup, and the noodles are not ordinary noodles. Isn't it too..."

Guo Weidong observed more carefully. He looked at the poached eggs in the basin and said:

"These poached eggs don't seem to be ordinary poached eggs... With Master Lin's talent, he would be embarrassed to make a few ordinary poached eggs right now."

What is the occasion now?

It is a group of state banquet chefs who recreated a bowl of noodles created by the former Diaoyutai chef when he retired.

Ordinary poached eggs, do you have the nerve to bring them out?

"Dongdong's eyes are pretty good. The egg white of this poached egg is made from chicken mince and egg white. The egg yolk inside is made from crab roe with a little bit of crab powder and crab paste... I ask you not to deny it! "

"hiss……"

There was a sound of breathing around.

Like Xie Baomin, they did not expect to add a poached egg to this legendary noodle soup.

Of course, it’s hard to add even if you think about it.

Because this poached egg is only a little bit more difficult than ordinary poached eggs.

Dai Jianli sighed:

"Brother Lin's brain is really enviable. He is worthy of being the shameless apprentice of Chef Gao. I'll have two big bowls later. If I don't eat more, I'll be sorry for Brother Lin's efforts."

When the other chefs heard this, they immediately said:

"Fuck you, you're actually trying to find a reason to eat more now."

"If this guy Lao Dai puts his brain to good use, maybe he can be accepted as a disciple by Chef Gao."

"One Lao Xie is enough to give Chef Gao a headache. If we add Lao Dai as a living treasure, how many troubles will he have to deal with?"

"It would be better to have more people like Master Lin. He is sensible and polite. How can he be like these two bandits? Even the wolves and dogs in the courtyard can't guard against them..."

Listening to everyone's muttering, Xie Baomin said:

"Qiu Qiu quickly put the noodles in. I'm still waiting to put the poached eggs in and take a picture to show my master. Adding the poached eggs should make the presentation even better."

When Qiu Zhenhua heard this, he brought out a small white porcelain bowl, which contained more than half a bowl of clear soup that looked like boiled water.

Then use chopsticks to pick up the noodles that have been softened by oil in the basin and carefully put them into the bowl. When placing them, deliberately pick up the noodles with chopsticks and tuck them in the bowl, so that the strands of noodles look more attractive.

After the noodles were served, Xie Baomin used a small spoon to scoop out the poached eggs soaked in the soup basin and put them in a bowl.

The white porcelain bowl, the clear soup, the neatly arranged noodles, and the poached eggs vividly express the simple cooking concept.

"I'll go. Although this noodle soup looks watery, it's really rich in flavor."

"Not only the aroma, but also the umami taste is simply amazing."

"It's really a work of art."

"Lao Xie, hurry up and take a picture. After you take the picture, let me take a picture and post it to the group to show off."

"I shoot and I shoot too. This is so rare."

"..."

Xie Baomin picked up his phone, took a photo of the face on the table and sent it to Uncle Gao:

"Master, the clear soup noodle dish you created was improved by junior brother adding a poached egg. Doesn't it look better?"

On the other side, Uncle Gao, who was strolling by the Crescent Moon Spring, looked at the pictures sent on his mobile phone and unconsciously showed a happy smile on his face:

"This kid always comes up with new tricks, but food is not static. How can it develop if it keeps sticking to the old rules?"

He was very satisfied with Lin Xu's improvement.

At this moment, I no longer cared about looking at the scenery. I picked up my phone and sent a message back:

"I hoped you would think of this when making this noodle soup, but you were so excited that you didn't think about it at all. The others are also...the master's successor must be your junior brother."

Xie Baomin: "..."

Master, can you please stop being so blunt?

I'm just a child of over 500 months old. If you stab my self-esteem so directly, aren't you afraid that I will get Jade Syndrome?

But the master’s inheritance has nothing to do with me.

I’d better leave this heavy burden to my junior brother, I just like to wander around!

While Lao Xie was muttering to himself, Lin Xu, who was making poached eggs in the small kitchen next door, was stunned because the system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

"The host boldly improved Master Gao Peisheng's retired noodle soup, and was recognized by the master. He will be rewarded with a perfect homemade meal - clear soup noodles. Congratulations to the host."

What?

Is this done?

I originally planned to use the memory exchange card to redeem this delicacy, but I didn’t expect to use it anymore. What a surprise!

Just as I was getting excited, the system prompt sounded again:

"The host has successively learned master Gao Peisheng's original dishes within one year - white jade lotus root silk, clear water hibiscus, clear soup noodles, completed the master-disciple task [passing on the fire], and won two draws for perfect-level lost dishes and one draw for perfect-level cooking techniques. , Congratulations to the host."

Yo ho!

Lin Xu wished he could shout.

I really didn’t expect that the master-disciple mission would be completed just like that.

Two lost dishes and a perfect cooking technique, it makes people feel excited just thinking about it.

He originally wanted to draw the lottery immediately to see what he could draw without Dundun's help, but then he thought about it and gave the little guy a chance to contribute to the family.

And this is a lost dish, not a lost famous dish.

It would be great fun if you picked one that was lost because of its unpalatable taste.

So you should be cautious about this kind of thing. Since there are plug-ins that increase good luck, don't use them in vain. The system has not determined that this is a bug anyway.

Lin Xu put away his thoughts and continued making poached eggs.

By the time he was done, all the noodles had been fried and softened with clear soup.

Put the noodles into bowls, put a poached egg in each bowl, put them together for a photo, and then each pick up a bowl and start eating.

"Hey, this soup is really worth mentioning."

"Just make this soup and it will beat all Chinese restaurants in an instant."

"You said, this costs two thousand yuan a bowl. Can you maintain your capital?"

"Anyway, I won't sell it, and we won't have new ones in the building. To make it once, we have to gather all the head chefs. Let alone two thousand for a bowl, twenty thousand for a bowl is not cost-effective."

"..."

Lin Xu held the bowl and took a sip of the soup first instead of eating the noodles directly.

The clear soup has a rich aroma, and unlike ordinary clear soup, this soup actually has a light vegetable flavor, which neutralizes the greasy feeling that is more common in soup stock.

Although there were no vegetables, I could still taste the taste of vegetables. I have to say that the noodles in clear soup created by Master were truly amazing.

After taking two sips of the soup, he picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth.

The noodles are smooth and smooth, without any greasy feeling from deep-fried noodles. Instead, it feels like eating vermicelli.

When eating noodles, take a bite of the poached egg. The white part is tender and smooth in the mouth, and the yolk inside is full of the fresh flavor of crab.

The strong aroma of crab roe, the freshness of crab powder, and the mellowness of crab paste all burst into the mouth. There is an indescribable beauty. For those who like to eat crab, this kind of temptation is simply irresistible.

"Brother Lin's poached eggs are really amazing."

“Not only does it enrich the taste of the soup, but it also fills the gap where there is no river seafood in the soup stock.”

"Well, with the poached eggs, this bowl of soup already contains all kinds of delicacies from heaven and earth, rivers, lakes and seas. It can be regarded as the master of this soup."

"It's so enjoyable to have ten or eight of them in one go."

"The crab roe in it is really amazing... But in addition to crab roe, I think sea urchin or starfish would also work, right?"

"Of course, there are many alternative ingredients... If you want to try it, you can call me. I, Lao Dai, are the professional reviewers."

"Gungungun, I want to trick you into eating and drinking again. The price of this thing is not cheap."

For this group of head chefs, there is no secret to any food. Even for this clear soup noodle dish, they know how to make it, but they just can’t figure out the ratio of ingredients to the soup stock.

The cost of this kind of soup stock is ridiculously high, and even Diaoyutai cannot try to make it every day, so everyone came in droves to observe Xie Baomin's cooking techniques.

After one bowl of noodles, Lao Dai and the others started grabbing the remaining bowls.

Lin Xu posted the photo he just took to his personal profile online with the following text:

"My family members came to Diaoyutai to visit relatives. They were served noodles with clear soup. They couldn't eat more... Can you see that the cost of this small bowl of noodles exceeds four digits?"

As soon as it was posted, netizens flocked to it.

The picture shows Lin Xu and a group of state banquet chefs standing in front of the stainless steel work table in the kitchen. Bowls of noodle soup are placed on it. The amount of noodles is not much, the soup is clear, there are not even leaves, only a round noodle. Poached eggs lay on top.

But when I saw the second half of the sentence...

"The cost exceeds four digits? Boss Lin, are you talking about Vietnamese Dong?"

"I didn't expect that my cooking skills can actually meet the standards of a state banquet chef."

"A bowl of boiled noodles costs four figures? Boss Lin, are you kidding me?"

"If this is four figures, then my mother's braised noodles can't even be sold for five figures."

"..."

While everyone was joking, Huo Yifan jumped out again to popularize science with everyone.

"If you read it correctly, this should be the clear soup noodles created by Lin Xu's master, Senior Gao. It looks like boiled noodles in plain water, but it actually uses twice-cooked broth. The cost of a pot of soup is at least tens of thousands. Yuan, the noodles are also made by a master-level pastry chef who pulls them for more than fifteen bucks and then deep-fries them in lard. As for the poached eggs... they are probably not the ones you usually see."

This was agreed upon by Lin Xu and Huo Yifan.

Let Huo Yifan quickly increase his fans.

However, I was very impulsive in making poached eggs today, and I didn’t have time to talk to Huo Yifan. As a result, this professional science expert couldn’t guess how to make poached eggs.

But his intuition told him that if the noodles were so good, the poached eggs would never be simple.

After such popular science, everyone discovered the difference in this bowl of noodles.

What was originally a joke has turned into a simple "please help me with this tutorial!"

Even if I don’t make this kind of noodles, putting it in my favorites makes me feel like a master of cooking.

Lin Xu said in the comment area:

"Due to the principle of confidentiality, clear soup noodles cannot be disclosed online, but poached eggs are no problem. This is my own method today. I have time to take a photo so that everyone can see the secrets. Front row reminder, due to this Poached eggs are more expensive, so don’t cook them in front of your mother, otherwise you’ll get beaten easily.”

Everyone was surprised when they saw this comment.

Homemade poached eggs recipe?

Easily beaten by mom?

"What kind of ingredients are used in this?"

"It shouldn't be easy."

"I'm looking forward to the video tutorials. It's fun to watch even if you don't know how to do it."

"I'm looking forward to it, but as a food lover, I still want to try it. I just don't know if it will use sky-high-priced ingredients, and my wallet will continue to be dry."

"I have two houses under my name, a monthly salary of 17,000, and a deposit of 900,000... Will I go bankrupt if I make this kind of poached eggs?"

"You won't go bankrupt, but you will wet the bed... Don't sleep upstairs, get up and pee!"

"..."

After finishing the noodle soup, lunch in Building 2 officially began.

Everyone came to the small restaurant where the employees ate and started having lunch.

Dai Jianli looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Brother Lin, what are your plans for the afternoon? Do you want to go shopping with me?"

Lin Xu smiled and shook his head:

"I won't go to explore the store. I have a lot of things to do in the store... But later, how about I go to Building 18 to get some braised food? When I came, Yue Yue said that she hadn't eaten rabbit head and sweet noodles in a long time. The braised duck and the like are so delicious, I want me to take them back to try some."

When Dai Jianli heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh:

"What a coincidence. The store is making sweet-skinned duck. I think it will be ready after we finish the meal. It's just time for you to see how sweet-skinned duck is made."

Is it?

Lin Xu's heart moved, and he remembered the memory exchange card that he had not used just now.

Hey, doesn’t this have a place of use?
