Chapter 235: It’s so Shocking
After Bai Ke and Xiaoyan had tasted the "mirror box tofu", they kept reminiscing about the special taste left in their mouths, which was a refreshing taste.
At this moment, they already understood how delicious this 'mirror box tofu' is, and why the diners at the two tables last night were so crazy.
Bai Ke is full of confidence, he believes that he can make such a taste.
Lin Fan and Xiaoyan stood aside, while Bai Ke began to try to make 'mirror box tofu'.
The procedure of this dish is not complicated, and it is easy to remember, but in Lin Fan's opinion, if Bai Ke wants to completely control it, he may have to try many times.
Not long after.
Bai Ke was in a very happy mood, "My mirror box tofu is ready, I invite two gourmets to taste it."
Xiaoyan said: "This appearance is much worse than what Brother Lin made, it's not good-looking at all."
Bai Ke smiled awkwardly, and then said, "It doesn't look good, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's not delicious. I believe it must be delicious."
Lin Fan said; "Let Xiaoyan taste, as a diner, her evaluation of this dish."
Xiaoyan tasted it with chopsticks, while Bai Ke waited expectantly.
"The tofu is a bit hard, and it tastes so sweet." Xiaoyan said, but when she saw Bai Ke's disappointed expression, she said with some reluctance: "But it's still possible."
Lin Fan said aside: "Xiaoyan, don't praise him. It's delicious if it's delicious, but it's not delicious if it's not good. We're training him now, so we can't lie to him."
Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then understood, and changed her tone, "It's not tasty, it's hard to swallow."
"Ah..." Bai Ke was very sad, and the blow was too great, "It's not delicious, don't say it so bluntly, at least give me some confidence."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Okay, the truth makes people improve, and the falsehood makes people arrogant. I know what your dish tastes like before I eat it. The tofu has been in the pot for too long, and there are shrimps and pork. Chop them evenly." , This one is big and one is small, but it affects the taste, and there are too many seasonings, so pay attention to the taste, just the right amount of tomato sauce, and it’s not just tomato sauce, why is it so sour.”
Bai Ke sighed, it was a big blow, and then he got up his confidence, "I really don't believe it, you wait, I will continue to do it."
Lin Fan looked at Bai Ke with a smile, although this dish is simple, but if you want to make it well, you need dim sum.
At this moment, Bai Ke started to get busy again. Although he didn't make the taste like Lin Fan's, after tasting Lin Fan's craftsmanship, he was full of confidence in this dish.
Because he knows that if he can make delicious food, then he will definitely be able to become a signature dish.
Lin Fan is like a strict teacher now, every word to Bai Ke makes Bai Ke very busy, and now he is also strict with Bai Ke, every process in a dish is very important .
It is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.
Only with these three qualities can it be considered a real dish.
"Old tofu is cut neatly. It should be the same size, and the corners should not be broken. The first impression of a dish is 'color'. If there is no 'color', it can still be a signature dish."
Bai Ke: "Oh, I'm doing it all over again."
"Looking at the surface of the tofu, it's golden, and it's getting old when it's out of the pan."
"It's hollowed out by two-thirds, and the bottom cannot be broken. If you break it, what else can you call it a mirror box..."
"The ketchup is just for seasoning, to increase the color. You put too much. This is to make people eat tomato tofu."
....
Famous teachers produce great apprentices. Although Bai Ke is not Lin Fan's apprentice, Lin Fan is serious about teaching a dish. To Lin Fan, this may be a dish, but to Bai Ke, it is whether the restaurant can turn around. important dishes.
For Bai Ke's sake, he naturally had to be strict.
Bai Ke was sweating profusely and under a lot of pressure when Lin Fan said it. He wanted to tell Fanzi not to hit people like this, but when he saw Lin Fan's expression, he obediently cooked again.
Because he found that Fanzi's face was so serious, it was a little frightening.
A 'mirror box tofu' is ready.
Lin Fan glanced at it; "Redo it, the color is too ugly."
Without saying a word, Bai Ke started to get busy again.
Xiaoyan stood aside, wiping the sweat off Bai Ke's forehead with a towel.
second copy.
"Redo it, it's still ugly."
third copy.
"Reworked, average hue."
fourth copy.
"Reworked, the hue is okay, but the fragrance is not enough."
Fifth copy.
sixth copy.
....
Up to twenty copies.
Bai Ke looked at Lin Fan expectantly. He wanted to hear a compliment. He was about to collapse after twenty copies in a row. As young people, he naturally didn't like others to find fault.
But he is different, he knows that Fanzi is for his own good, and Fanzi's culinary skills have completely convinced him. use.
Those super chefs are nothing compared to Fanzi.
"En." Lin Fan nodded, and Bai Ke was very excited when he saw it. Then he hugged Xiaoyan and shouted happily, but Lin Fan's next words hit him to the bottom of the valley again.
"Rework, the color is already there, and the fragrance is also there, but the smell is still far away, continue."
Xiaoyan tasted it, "Brother Lin, I think it tastes pretty good, better than ordinary restaurants."
Lin Fan said calmly; "I'm not even 10% ready to keep the guests, so continue."
Bai Ke sighed, "Fanzi, can you tell me how much I love you now?"
Lin Fan was on a finger, "0.1 percent."
Bai Ke covered his face and continued to cook. If he wasn't crazy, he couldn't survive, so he worked hard...
Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon.
During this period, some guests came, but they all refused, because Bai Ke was learning how to cook, and the kitchen was in a mess, full of ingredients.
....
Nth share.
Bai Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at Lin Fan expectantly, this time he had used all his skills.
Lin Fan looked at the 'Mirror Box Tofu' in front of him and nodded, "The color is delicious, as for the taste, I'll try it."
Under Bai Ke's expectant gaze, Lin Fan took a sip, savored it, and then said with a smile: "Not bad, very good, you've grasped the essence of this dish."
Hearing this praise, Bai Ke jumped up excitedly, "I succeeded, I succeeded."
Seeing Bai Ke's excited expression, Lin Fan was also happy for him, but then said, "Don't be too happy, do it a few more times, the taste is actually not so good."
"Ah!" Bai Ke looked at Lin Fan, opened his mouth wide, finally sighed again, and continued working.
Lin Fan said, "Remember, the taste is very important. You have to control the seasoning well. If it is less, it will be tasteless, and if it is more, it will be heavy. If you want to become a signature dish, you have to work hard."
until five o'clock in the afternoon.
When a piece of 'Mirror Box Tofu' was placed in front of Lin Fan, Lin Fan was also slightly surprised. He did not expect Bai Ke to improve so quickly.
After Lin Fan tried it, he nodded and said, "That's right, I'm already 10% ready."
In Lin Fan's opinion, although this dish still has many deficiencies, it is not a problem for diners to remember this dish and become a signature dish. Bai Ke will practice more in the future, and the improvement will be greater, and the taste will also be improved. will get better and better.
"Okay, this is enough to satisfy the diners, but we need to continue to practice in the future. I think now is the time for the diners to taste it." Lin Fan said.
Bai Ke said helplessly, "But we don't have any guests."
Lin Fan said with a smile: "If you go out and ask for half-price meals, and give away a signature dish for free, can no one come?"
When Bai Ke heard it, he was immediately happy, "That's right."
Xiaoyan cleaned up the kitchen, while Bai Ke went out excitedly, ready to implement Lin Fan's method.
He is now full of infinite confidence in himself, and his whole body is full of strength.
