【41】Extremely delicate! West Lake beef broth! (For collections, for flowers!)
"Of course."
Lin Han nodded.
With the breadth and depth of Chinese cuisine, even Nakiri Erina tries to make things difficult for Lin Han with ingredients.
That too was in vain.
Lin Han has this confidence.
Nakiri Erina seemed to be aware of this, and she walked into the kitchen and glanced at it.
"The ingredients here seem to be just cheap things."
Lin Han replied calmly.
"To make a delicious dish, the most important thing is not expensive ingredients."
Nakiri Erina glanced at him and laughed.
She raised her hand and brushed the long blond hair in front of her.
"Since you can point Yukihira Sōma, use cheap beef to beat Mito's A5 steak."
"Then make me a meat-related Chinese dish today."
"I hope you know, though, that satisfying my tongue is a lot harder than beating Mito with a cheap steak."
In Nakiri Erina's seemingly calm voice, there was a hint of a vague threat.
"Is it meat dishes, I know."
However, Lin Han just rolled up his sleeves calmly.
"Just ask the eldest lady to wait outside for a while, the delicious dishes will be served soon."
Hearing the meaning of expelling guests in Lin Han's words, Nakiri Erina snorted, turned and walked out of the kitchen.
However, she immediately found a table near the back kitchen window and sat down.
The arrogant and arrogant young lady was secretly watching Lin Han's movements through the window that was no more than a foot wide.
She wants to see how this guy uses inferior ingredients to make high-level and delicious dishes.
Lin Han naturally noticed the gaze behind him, but at this moment, he was completely absorbed in cooking.
"Just try the new dishes in the upgraded Lan Feihong card."
Under Nakiri Erina, who had been staring at Lin Han all the time, she thought she was unaware.
Lin Han raised his hand and started cooking.
He chose the same beef, but the tenderloin part.
"This is tender meat near the sides of the spine, and the texture is a little more tender than other parts of the meat."
"Do you want to achieve the purpose of tenderness from the meat quality of the ingredients themselves?"
Nakiri Erina secretly guessed in her heart.
And Lin Han picked up the cooking knife at hand, like a sword flower, and turned the cooking knife in a circle in his hand beautifully.
Obviously many skilled chefs can do this, but it was made by Lin Han, but it has a more dashing and handsome feeling.
The sharp edge of the knife cuts the part of the sirloin along the grain, and cuts the palm-sized piece of meat into uniform slices that are thin enough to transmit light.
If you put these meats under your eyes, you can clearly see the texture of the meat slices through the naked eye.
Lin Han's movements were also very fast, until the whole piece of beef was cut, and there was no such thing as a piece of meat sticking to the blade.
You must know that the cooking knife used by Lin Han is closer to the civil and military knife of China than the chef’s knife commonly used in Neon.
Such a knife not only has a wide blade, but also tends to cause the meat to stick to the blade when cutting meat.
But when Lin Han cut the meat, there was no such accident at all.
Because his movements are so fast and neat that the ingredients under his hands are like tame sheep, at the mercy of him.
I originally thought that the step of cutting the meat would end here, but unexpectedly, when the whole piece of beef was cut into thin slices.
Nakiri Erina saw Lin Han pick up the knife again.
"Do you still want to cut it? If you cut it again, it will only turn into shredded pork. It's ready to be fried..."
"Wait, what is he doing, he's chopping stuffing?"
Opening her eyes wide, Nakiri Erina looked at the scene in disbelief.
I saw that the meat slices were quickly cut into shredded meat with the same length, size and thickness under the calm and quick knife work of Lin Han.
Immediately, it was chopped into mince by Lin Han again!
The bright red beef is constantly turning under the blade, like a muscled dough dyed with color.
And Lin Han's blade is stirring in the meatballs from time to time, and Nakiri Erina's eyesight is very good.
Some of the white fascia was precisely picked out of the flesh by Lin Han.
"The fascia is too tough, although it will bring a certain degree of fun to bite in normal times."
"But if you pursue a delicate and soft taste, these fascias will become a hindrance to the taste."
"However, these fascias can be picked out so accurately..."
Although Lin Han's swordsmanship doesn't look too gorgeous, there is a subtlety of skill and ingenuity in it.
Nakiri Erina has fully felt it.
Soon, the beef was chopped into a fine red puree with no impurities.
Lin Han started to prepare other ingredients.
"Tofu, sliced ginger, shallots... This is... Bamboo Ginseng?"
Looking at the snow-white things in Lin Han's hands, Nakiri Erina showed a somewhat surprised expression.
This ingredient can be said to be the iconic Chinese national ingredient, not only delicious, but also crisp and tender to the extreme.
Even Nakiri Erina, who has the tongue of God, first tasted bamboo ginseng.
I am obsessed with the taste of this food.
The snow-white bamboo ginseng, together with tofu and other ingredients, was cut into small cubes of even size by Lin Han.
The fresh and delicate minced meat is additionally stirred with egg whites, making the meat minced that looks like quicksand more soft.
The minced meat with egg white was added directly into the cold water. As the water temperature gradually heated up, the minced meat that was constantly stirred seemed to be integrated with the water.
"I can't see the graininess at all. Can the meat puree made from this beef be so delicate?"
Nakiri Erina was surprised to see the minced meat spread out more silky than she had imagined.
Immediately, the tofu and bamboo ginseng, which were also cut into small pieces, were thrown into the pot one by one.
Lin Han stirred the ingredients in the pot with a large spoon, his eyes were particularly focused, as if he was wiping a precious national treasure.
After the water boiled, Lin Han added salt and pepper to the pot.
The thickened wet cornstarch is used to increase the thickness of the whole dish.
Afterwards, the minced meat and other ingredients were poured into a bowl with egg whites, and stirred quickly and without confusion by Lin Han.
Clarified egg whites are stirred into a fluffy fluff by heat.
"It's been a long time, West Lake Beef Soup, please enjoy it!"
Sprinkled with minced coriander for the final garnish, Lin Han brought the dish to Nakiri Erina. *
