Innovative ways of dishes
First, the choice of raw materials
1, using all kinds of existing raw materials skillfully.
(1) China uses western materials. With the globalization of global economy, western raw materials such as peas and broccoli have been further promoted and used in China.
(2) Take local materials and develop wild materials into fine products, such as pumpkin, sweet potato and pumpkin vine.
(3) Herbs are traditionally regarded as raw materials for cooking or assisting in cooking dishes, such as Angelica sinensis and Lycium barbarum.
(4) The original raw materials are developed for multiple purposes, so that more dishes can be cooked, such as salmon and salted egg yolk series dishes.
2. Changing the texture of raw materials becomes the change of new dishes.
People often use dehydration, salting, salting, cold storage, or blanching, boiling and oiling to change the texture of raw materials and add new dishes. Such as bacon, sausage and chicken, salted and smoked salty bacteria, dried bamboo shoots and other dehydrated dishes, such as golden hooks, scallops and pork floss. New dishes use Sichuan pickles, such as chicken feet and pig ears.
Second, cooking choices.
1, change the cooking method
"Stir-fried" dishes can be processed into dishes by "explosion", and dry stir-fried series, boiled series and hot pot series can also be processed into dishes by "stir-frying", which have different flavor characteristics and texture.
2. Explore new ways to cook new dishes.
Cooking technology has developed from raw food, soaking, fire, stone cooking, pot cooking, cage steaming, oven baking and frying to electric oven baking and microwave cooking. At that time, the "new prawns cooked in stone" sold in restaurants, the shochu kebabs on the dining table, the "spicy chicken baked with salt" in cold dishes at banquets, and the "fish-flavored salmon" wrapped in tin foil and cooked in water all gave people a novel feeling. With the development of science and technology, such as the application of solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, hydrothermal energy and air energy, more new cooking technologies will be born in the future.
3. Comprehensively innovate cooking technology.
On the basis of traditional cooking techniques, we break the completely different fixed patterns of Chinese and western cooking techniques, and improve them on the basis of combination, imitation, reference, synthesis and innovation, and introduce dishes made by new cooking methods, such as making crispy noodles with vegetables into crispy box shrimp and crispy seafood, and frying traditional stewed turtles raw.
Third, develop and introduce new flavors.
You can develop dishes with combined flavors, and usually you can adopt the following ideas:
1, Western-style Chinese cooking will be used to cook Chinese dishes, such as salad seafood rolls, Thousand Island Pomegranate Shrimp, etc.
2. Cooking fruits and vegetables Use fruits and juices to flavor dishes, such as chicken coconut, pineapple rice and orange melon strips.
3, the old taste and new cooking will always be popular. In recent years, seasonings or spices are rarely used to cook dishes, such as chicken wings with spicy soy sauce, fried shrimps with bean paste and so on.
4. New Taste and Old Cooking Use emerging seasonings to cook traditional raw materials, thus launching novel dishes, such as XO fried chicken fillet and black pepper fried eel flower.
Four. Renovation and replacement of trays and containers
