The creative chefs who love cooking and understand the ingredients need only to think, and the benefits of food will be endless.
Neil of Dongtingchun's “Shao Dongjia” of Hunan Restaurant in Quantong Square is also such an innovative gourmet.
In fact, Hunan cuisine is one of the eight traditional Chinese cuisines. It has a history of more than XNUMX years. There are more than XNUMX famous dishes. Even if it is not innovative, it is an inexhaustible treasure.
However, adherence to tradition is not the style of the post-90s Neil: there are different ingredients, new cooking techniques and equipment, and a head that can't be idled. Why not innovate and not change?
Therefore, since the opening of Dongtingchun for nine years, the menu has been constantly renovated and upgraded, and strives to keep pace with the competitive domestic cuisine: using fresher ingredients and cooler cooking methods to strive to bring 100% to overseas consumers Do not lose the domestic novelty food experience.
Now, in this California three-day period that lasts for less than half a year, Neil has specially prepared a few seasonal and innovative dishes for everyone.
Wonderland cool shutters
The steaming basket, which was soaring like clouds and mist, came to the table leisurely: as soon as the lid was opened, the white mist gushed out of the steamer, layered on top of each other like spring water, and the feeling of coolness and warmth came along with it.Everyone who was surprised took out their phones and recorded a moment.For such a cold dish, Neil has taken a lot of thought. Dry ice can not only cool down the temperature and keep the icy and crisp taste of beef scallops, but also increase the sensory experience and overall taste of the meal.
Ginger Chicken
People in Changsha eat chickens in the ambush, they are very particular about: one is to eat fresh chicken, the other is to use the roadside phoenix to clear heat and detoxify, and let the fragrance of herbs infiltrate the chicken; Now that Los Angeles has also entered the skewer beer mode, Neil has specially prepared ginger cheating chickens that are both tonic and damp. This dish uses the yellow hair chicken that was slaughtered that day, adding a lot of ginger slices and garlic to stir fry. No other ingredients are needed, and the pursuit of chicken flavor and freshness is sought.
Xiaoxiang flavor yam
The xiaoxiang flavor yam made with casserole has the method of braising, the salty flavor of soy sauce, and the crispy taste of yam.
Yihua Hot and Sour Chicken
Changsha Yihua Restaurant's hot and sour chicken is the most famous. The chefs of Neil and Dong Tingchun have come to visit the teacher many times for advice, and have restored the original flavor to the greatest extent in Los Angeles. The fresh chicken is fried with the sour chili peppers and shredded lettuce, which are exclusively made in the shop. Once they are served, the sour and spicy flavors are spread on the surface, which makes people totally resistant. Has been officially named the number one dining artifact!
Cooing yellow
Bull frog gravy is tender and firm, and delicious, which is a lot of food. In addition to the dry pot and boiled water, Dongting Lake District also has the common practice of Huang Huang: Bullfrogs are cooked in a thick soup, and the long fragrance of basil is also exuded.
Farm's Small Fried Meat
Whether the small fried pork can be made authentic is the golden rule for testing the level of Hunan restaurants.Dongtingchun's small fried pork, made for nine years, is the pride of the shop's signature and the owner.As for the secret of deliciousness, Neil generously shared: "Choose a good chili and stir it thoroughly with pork belly; garlic, tempeh, soup, and meat should be blended together."
Golden Soup Fat Sheep
Don’t panic, friends who are less spicy. As Dongting Chun’s “top-brand hot product” in the past two months, Jintang Sheep is added to the thick golden soup with fat and balanced slices of Sheep Sheep. Delicious and mellow.
