汉城的“北京饭店”以炸酱面驰名,老板酿造的“春酱”是其不二法宝。韩国人以酿造“大酱”闻名,这种豆制品广泛用于韩国的汤、烧烤、拌饭之中,味道并不出奇,想来韩国人的炸酱面也离不开这种酱。 有一天,老板突然中风倒下了,“春酱”顿成不解之谜。来自中国山东的小伙杨汉国,勇敢地挑起了重振饭店的重担,奇怪的是,这家伙一口胶东话却不知怎么做炸酱面。对着老板留下的几口大缸忙活了半天之后,竟然用上了试管和烧杯,用化学试验来研究炸酱的配方。我看着他用清水来煮“春酱”,再浇到拉面上,最后居然成功了。虽然理论上这更接近打卤面。 “北京饭店”还有一道名菜“左宗棠鸡”,把鸡炸酥后再浇糖醋汁,类似咕噜肉,不知湘菜馆有何观感?比较好玩的还有:把活鱼先放在开水里烫一下再清蒸;凤尾大虾不用油炸;做“拔丝”也不用油,直接下麦芽糖煮…Han-kook starts to work as an apprentice chef at a Chinese restauraunt belonging to his father's friend, but rather than follow the painstaking process of preparing the food by hand, Han-kook begins to use pre-processed ingredients.
