Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Leek with Fermented Soybean Paste (2/2)
The chefs who had been drinking tea suddenly stood up.
“Who is this? How dare you casually enter our kitchen? Someone, come here, and throw him out quickly!”
But Chen Yu didn’t care about that, he just picked up a kitchen knife from the stove and took several peeled potatoes.
In the blink of an eye, the potatoes were completely disassembled, becoming as thin as hair.
The knife skills instantly shocked all the chefs in the kitchen, especially the older ones who were dumbfounded.
Knife skills are different from other cooking techniques. To cook a dish, one only needs to control the heat and remember the order and amount of ingredients.
But knife skills are foundational skills that accompany a chef for a lifetime.
For an average chef to reach the level of knife skills that Chen Yu displayed, it would take fifty years of practice.
Yet Chen Yu appeared to be not even thirty years old. To achieve such knife skills at his age could truly be considered nothing less than genius.
Before they could even react, Chen Yu had already stir-fried the potato shreds in the wok, flipping and frying them. It took less than two minutes for him to serve the dish.
The rich aroma instantly spread throughout the kitchen, surprising everyone present.
Reynolds couldn’t wait to step forward and picked up a few potato shreds to taste.
The crisp and mellow flavor conquered his taste buds in an instant.
“This is so delicious, these extremely thin potato shreds haven’t scorched at all, maintaining the original flavor of the potatoes while also evenly coating each strand with seasoning.”
This assessment raised Chen Yu to a certain height, and others also crowded forward to try the potato shreds for themselves.
“Good knife skills!”
A deep voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the kitchen, and an old man with a somewhat portly figure came over slowly, holding a cup of tea.
“I have never seen someone your age achieve so much. Really remarkable, but casually barging into my kitchen, that’s a challenge to me.”
Chen Yu couldn’t help but frown, he somewhat recognized this elderly man, who almost dominated the headlines of major media a decade ago.
His culinary skills were ranked among the top five in the world, especially his knife work, which was legendary.
His signature dish was Phoenix-tail Leeks!
The leeks were already fine enough, but he could carve them, and the whole process took less than a minute.
“Excuse me, sir, might you be Mr. Wen Zaichang?”
Chen Yu was very respectful as he apologized, showing his respect for a senior figure in the culinary world.
However, Wen Zaichang was extremely arrogant. He put his teacup aside and casually picked up a kitchen knife while also tearing off a cabbage leaf.
As the kitchen knife swiftly rotated, the cabbage leaf quickly turned into strips, and in less than two minutes, what had looked like an overwhelmingly large leaf of cabbage was carved into a phoenix tail shape, neatly arranged on a plate.
“Your knife skills are decent, and your cooking is quite good, but alas, you are still too young! Come back here and be brazen when you’ve reached my level!”
