Why are the dishes in star hotels so many times more expensive than those in restaurants outside?

Eating in a star hotel is an atmosphere. The higher the star rating and the higher the level, the more cuisines there are. Suitable for guests from all over the world. In addition, the dishes in star-rated hotels look more fashionable and colorful, often making the most common foods exquisite and unique.

All good foods have their own characteristics. Only by grasping their essence and respecting each food material can the effectiveness of food materials be fully exerted. Some simple home-cooked dishes are ultimately decided upon by researching and combining their ingredients and doing a lot of experimenting. Pursuing authenticity is not only an important part of cooking, learning to pursue its essence is crucial in life.

The pursuit of truth will make it easier for us to think about problems and take fewer shortcuts. If the most authentic content is unearthed, people will analyze everything thoroughly and perfection will be achieved. Vegetables have their own fiber in them. If burned too much, the plant fibers will be destroyed. The vegetables will become chewy and lose their flavor. If grilling without charcoal has no soul, then vegetables without flavor have no soul. If it is burned too lightly, the impurities in the vegetables will not be cleaned, and the taste of the vegetables will not be recognized by everyone. Then the word "just right" becomes very important. How to do it properly, oil hitting is a good way to do it. The oil temperature is usually very high and the surface fibers of the vegetables are relatively rough. When vegetables are turned into a knife, vegetables that need to be fried in a meat pan can be quickly passed through with 80% oil temperature, so that vegetables that are tender on the outside and tender on the inside are born. The vegetables are ready and the rest is taken care of. Once oiled, the vegetables are mostly al dente, so the rest is easy.

However, not all dishes are suitable for frying. For clear stir-fries, it should be soaked in water and not soaked in oil. In hotel dishes, clear oil is usually not used for stir-frying. Chefs often boil scallion oil for stir-fries and mixed cold dishes. The dishes made this way will have a fragrance that cannot be made at home. Therefore, this is also the difference between home cooking and hotel cooking. The process of cooking scallion oil is troublesome, but the kitchen can only make different dishes without worrying about complexity. As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal, but wait for a good meal slowly.
