No matter what kind of cuisine, enhancing the flavor of the dish is an issue that should not be taken lightly.

And how important the limonene contained in Sichuan pepper is to the taste improvement of the whole dish cannot be described in words.

Only those who really delve into spices can understand that sometimes even a paltry 1 percent of limonene can make a dish taste both.

And at this time, Kohei continued:

"Under normal circumstances, the ultimate development of Zanthoxylum is to retain as much as possible, or extract the limonene components it contains!"

"So, what do we do?"

"Professor Jun Shiomi, please come to the lab with me!"

After walking into the research room with Shiomi Run, Kohei took out a few grains of green-skinned peppercorns, and then said:

"Some of the elemental characteristics of green peppercorns are more obvious than those of red-skinned peppercorns, so the reports that can be obtained by experimenting with green peppercorns are obviously more convincing!"

"It's a bowl of diluted white vinegar, and now I'm putting half of the green-skinned peppercorns in this bowl, and then waiting for five minutes, and then Professor Shiomi Jun can use the laboratory machine to see what is the difference between the elemental content data of the two peppercorns. "

"Was.. Peppercorns soaked in blended white vinegar??"

Shiomi Jun showed a thoughtful expression,

10 minutes later, Jun Shiomi got his wish and got two test reports.

I saw that the test sheet of some fresh peppercorns said that the limonene content was about 24.7 to 25.3 percent.

And those peppercorns that have been soaked in diluted white vinegar have a limonene content of up to 95%!

Seeing the discrepancy between the numbers on the two reports, Jun Shiomi couldn't help but exclaim.

"How is this possible!"

"It's just five minutes, why can the limonene content of this green-skinned peppercorn rise to such a point, which is enough to increase the limonene content of the umami of the three dishes!"

"In other words, if you use these peppercorns for cooking, then at least double the umami taste of dishes made with ordinary peppercorns...."

"What the hell is going on here!"

"Why ........"

Seeing Jun Shiomi with a stunned look of disbelief, Kohei smiled and said the mystery.

"White vinegar contains a lot of trace elements, including two elements, which have a great effect on improving the quality and content of limonene!"

"One is nicotinic acid, which is a very special kind that combines with limonene and deepens the activity of limonene....

At the same time, another substance in white vinegar, carbonic acid, and limonene, after combining, will accelerate the expansion of limonene....

That is to say, in white vinegar, the limonene contained in peppercorns will be swelled and the quality will become higher...

That's why, even though they are two peppercorns of the same quality, there is such a huge gap in the content of limonene!

"

"As for why it is white, it is also because in order to prevent other substances contained in white vinegar, it will affect or change some other trace elements of Sichuan pepper...... Of course, this ratio of diluted white vinegar should be absolutely harsh, a little more or a little less, and the taste of Sichuan pepper will deteriorate....."

Hearing Kohei's explanation, Jun Shiomi couldn't wait to start the research experiment.

After testing more than a dozen times in a row, Jun Shiomi was surprised to find that what Kohei said was right.

Even the changes in the molecular structure of Sichuan pepper are not bad at all.

All of this is really amazing.

Kohei, this kid, is really amazing.

It would be nice if he were my assistant....

No, no, Kohei's strength and talent are so good, how can I have this kind of thought, obviously I should say that if he can become my teacher, then I will definitely take a lot of detours......

At this time, Shiomi Jun's favorability towards Kohei is rising at a straight line speed.

After a while, it has reached 80 points.

However, Kohei's lecture is not over yet.

"Now that the limonene in peppercorns has been developed, let's feel its effect!"

Kohei walked over to the counter and quickly made two identical dishes using the two peppercorns, and then served them to Jun Shiomi.

After tasting, Jun Shiomi said:

"The recipe is exactly the same, and the ingredients are exactly the same, but there is a big difference in the taste between these two dishes that look exactly the same, and it's obvious that the umami of this dish is significantly improved by using Sichuan peppercorns soaked in diluted white vinegar!

Hearing Shiomi Jun's words, Kohei said with a smile:

"Of course, the taste contained in a dish, but not one spice can make much difference, the most amazing thing about curry is that it is reasonably matched with various spices, so that they continue to collide and merge with incredible deliciousness!"

"The extreme development of a spice has a limited effect on a whole dish!"

"Now, we're going to learn how to develop spices to the limit for a whole dish!"

"This time, let's take the mapo tofu dish as an example!"

"Mapo tofu, is that a traditional dish that has been passed down in the Celestial Empire?"

"Yes, the spices used in mapo tofu mainly include green onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, and chili peppers, and these five spices almost lay the foundation for the four delicious elements of fragrant, spicy, numb, and fresh in this whole dish.....

"So if we want to enhance the aroma, spiciness, hemp flavor and umami of mapo tofu, we have to develop these five spices to the limit and make them blend together.....

"The three spices of onion, ginger and garlic can also be exploited to the limit?"

"Absolutely!"

Kohei replied as he took out the green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers that he had prepared in advance.

"Compared with other spices, the three spices of onion, ginger and garlic all need freshness very much, so we must choose the freshest onion, ginger and garlic so that we can develop their extreme taste!"

"The main source of the element that enhances the flavor of the dish is allicin, which means that if we want to develop its taste to the limit, we must increase or retain the allicin content it contains to the maximum, and the method I choose is ........"

(The back is to push down Sister Run, because she is soaking her, she must describe some details, and you can't talk nonsense and push people down..... This is the process of brushing up on favorability.... )_
