「廚師的腦袋」
今天雖然休假，一整天卻也挺充實
跑去醫院探望外婆，跟堂弟打球，晚上跟家人吃飯聚餐，試著在創業期間擠出點時間陪家人之外
我滿～～腦子，還是想著接下來要在菜單上做的改變
而由於思考習慣的關係，我常常以英文去做各種思考
我想這受益於我上個專業 - 英文 的關係
最近由於健忘，所以習慣把自己自言自語般的思考過程記錄下來
紀錄完成後覺得這件事有點ㄎㄧㄤ
所以決定拿出來博君一笑，滿腦子想著食物的人到底是怎麼思考的
以下
關於親子丼與漢堡排的故事

OYAKODON, a dish that known to every Japanese
and of course its popularity around the world shows the value and power within few ingredients
under the pressure of putting more items on the menu
This sensationally simple yet delicious dish came to my mind
But, how to make it a restaurant worthy dish, instead of most people can recreate in their house
IS a everyday issue to most chefs lol
So after couple of hours doing researchs online
A method sounds pretty sexy to me
Pre-poach your seared, still raw chix thigh in wings stock and flavor it with spring onion juice, while it set in the fridge, the gelatin from the cooking of wings seal all the fragrance and flavor
then all you have to do is to scoop out your chix and jelly while you get order, heat it up with some sweetened soy, finish it with free range egg
viola, Oyakodon that is perfect both for service side and flavor side,,,,amazing
and also i was thinking about rearranging the sequence that i do my tofu burger,,,
i used to simply smash the tofu with the mince, season it, shape it and cook it just above 65 degrees
finally, bagging it up with some teriyaki sauce and chill
while in service all i have to do is to take it out from 62 degrees water bath and heat it up with all the veggies
but you know, after smashing tofu with everything, you only get the soft texture from the end result - the whole patty
But
you dont get the soft texture from the tofu
so while i was brainstorming about this, sitting on the toilet in my house ( unfortunately im sorry
i was like, well
in order to get the texture from the tofu, i must not break it too much, but in the meanwhile i gotta try to combine it with the mince well enough to form a patty
So,,,
Instead of breaking the tofu with the mince
I can sear it first to get a bit of the water content out of it, then smash it gently with pork skin jelly ( sth that you boil the shit out of pork rind and you'll get gelatin like skin stock, then you dice it into cubes,,,)
then combine it gently with skin jelly, and just like making a scotch egg, you shape your patty into an one inch flat layer, then on the other hand you shape a ball of tofu/skin jelly mixture
then wrap it up and press it just like any other patty
so while you sear it in the pan, the jelly inside the patty will slowly melt and your burger will be fucking sexy and juicy
and to prevent from any juice leaking out in the cooking process
i might dust the patty with a bit flour before cooking
wishing that the flour will create a crust to encase all the juice inside,,,
>>>>>>>>>
that was a two hours long imagination from my mind
crazy but interesting
i cant wait to try it
And ladies and gentlemen
thats passion right here, for no reason at all to think of food and cooking all the time
thats how I loveee cooking lol
and funny things is that though my first language is Mandarin
But while i was thinking of food, most of the time it is English version lol
two of my favorite things in the world, well, apart from sexy egg yolk
THIS is how i process ideas in my cooking
