The second course uses foie gras as the main ingredient to create a unique dish.

Qiao Zhi began to understand the other intentions of this final.

Beef and foie gras are common ingredients in Western cuisine. Europeans rank foie gras, along with caviar and truffle, as "the world's top three delicacies".

Since it is to prepare for next year's World King of Chefs Competition, the selection of talents should naturally be targeted.

If you can make Western food ingredients delicious and delicious, then the probability of winning the World Chef Championship next year will be even greater.

The proposition essay is much more difficult than free play, and the restriction of dead ingredients requires the chef to strive for perfection and integrate innovation and characteristics.

There are also many famous dishes with foie gras as the theme in Chinese food, such as foie gras wrapped in net oil, which is one of the famous dishes of Zhejiang Yuan cuisine.

The first dish made Qiao Zhi full of confidence, and he also had a new idea for the second course.

Qiao Zhi's second course was completed very quickly, and it took only twenty minutes to cook, which was in stark contrast to the completion of the first course.

"Why did Qiao Zhi finish the second course so quickly, is it that the first course was too smooth, so he was proud. Mu Xiao frowned and said worriedly.

Xu Hexiang laughed, "You don't know much about Qiao Zhi." This is a person who burns his eyebrows and does not panic. In his dictionary, there is only modesty, no pride. There's a reason why the second course was done so quickly!"

"What is the reason?" Mu Xiaohu looked at Xu Hexiang suspiciously.

Xu Hexiang glanced sideways at Mu Xiao's unusually bright eyes, and he was a little dazed at his age.

He coughed embarrassedly, "No matter how delicious the foie gras is, you will get tired of eating too much." ”

"Foie gras and beef are not prepared in the same way in Chinese food.

Beef is a common ingredient, and a variety of methods have been developed. The cooking method of foie gras in Chinese food is borrowed more from Western food, which basically retains the original taste of foie gras.

Since it is the original flavor, as long as the ingredients are the same, the taste is basically the same.

Imagine that the judges eat the first bite of foie gras and think it tastes very good, and the second bite of foie gras thinks it is okay, but the third and fourth bites, the sense of anticipation and surprise must be constantly decreasing and weakening. ”

Mu Xiao laughed, "Think about it carefully, Qiao Zhi is really treacherous!"

Xu Hexiang nodded in agreement, "Food originally needs to be infused with some cleverness. Now customers are not only picking taste, but also creativity. ”

Mu Xiao was curious: "What is the idea of Qiao Zhi's dish?"

Xu Hexiang touched his chin and groaned: "It's not surprising that it has something to do with "Dream of Red Mansions"!"

Mu Xiao blinked his eyes and muttered: "My literary literacy is not high, but I have studied a lot of "Dream of Red Mansions" and read the original text many times. ”

Xu Hexiang smiled: "Didn't you make your debut with the characters in the new "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Mu Xiao was stunned: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to remember this!"

It has been many years since he played the new "Dream of Red Mansions", and he was criticized for nothing at the beginning, but if you take a closer look, most of the people who worked together back then have become the mainstay of the entertainment industry.

Xu Hexiang saw that Mu Xiao was deep in thought, and said softly: "In the forty-first episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and Mother Jia asked Sister Feng to make a dish for Grandma Liu. This dish made Grandma Liu shake her head and stick out her tongue. ”

Mu Xiao touched his chin and asked curiously, "Could it be eggplant (xiang)?"

"Hey, you guessed it. Xu Hexiang looked at Mu Xiao in surprise.

Mu Xiao smiled proudly, "That word is particularly difficult to recognize, so I specifically checked the dictionary." ”

When Mu Xiao first filmed this TV series, she not only studied her own lines, but also studied other people's lines, although she played a very partial role, but the lines of the protagonist Wang Xifeng, she was very thorough.

Xu Hexiang nodded and said: "That's right, it's eggplant foie gras! It's just that the eggplant in Dream of Red Mansions uses chicken fat and chicken meat, and Qiao Zhi uses goose fat and goose meat."

Take the fresh eggplant meat, and fragrant mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced curd, and various dried fruits, cut them into cubes, simmer them in broth, and then collect them with sesame oil, and mix them with bad oil.

Cut the steamed foie gras into thumb-sized cubes and stir them with eggplant. ”

Xu Hexiang lamented Qiao Zhi's literary accumulation, not only studying Suiyuan cuisine, but also studying Red Mansion cuisine so deeply.

Xu Hexiang also had a flash of inspiration before he figured out Qiao Zhi's cooking origin.

Although I couldn't taste this dish, just thinking about it, I felt that my saliva secretion was vigorous, and my craving was again.

This dish is still very difficult.

In order to rush for time, it is necessary to finish the eggplant quickly, will it affect the taste of the food?

"By the way, I remember that Sun Xiu seems to have acted in the new "Dream of Red Mansions" with you at the beginning, right?"

"Well, she plays Wang Xifeng!"

"I see, this kid is really treacherous... Wit!"

The results were not long in coming.

It's a five-star turn again!

None of the five judges fell, and they all turned around cleanly!

Qiao Zhi once again achieved high recognition, which made the other contestants who were still desperately completing their works feel the pressure.

Sun Xiu likes to eat foie gras, and every year for the top foie gras, she has to go to a restaurant in France. The restaurant was well-known in the area, and the chef made a name for himself by cooking foie gras in red wine.

When tasting the foie gras cooked by Qiao Zhi, she has a new sense of experience, such foie gras has a soul!

A taste that looks like grease and is mixed with a little sweet and sour fills the mouth.

The crispy outer layer is mixed with a hint of eggplant aroma, and the rich taste not only does not rob the original taste of foie gras, but even plays a good supporting role.

It has a miraculous effect similar to that of lemon or apple, and relieves greasyness.

Foie gras pays attention to the temperature of the mouth, the closer to the body temperature, the more it can melt in the mouth, the foie gras in the mouth almost no chewing, the aroma and smooth taste fermentation, the lips and teeth fragrant.

The dense taste, mixed with top-notch aromas, makes Sun Xiu feel like he is in the spring of a French farm.

What's more, after Sun Xiu tasted this dish carefully, he suddenly remembered his experience in a play!

Could it be that this dish is a play in the Red Mansion and has been studied by the props team for a long time?"

Although the new "Dream of Red Mansions" was conservatively controversial and criticized after it was filmed, the director still spent a lot of thought and energy when filming this drama.

Although the costumes and props have been criticized, the actors have spent a lot of effort on their lines and scripts.

The hundreds of dishes mentioned in Dream of Red Mansions that make people appetizing, Sun Xiu also spent a lot of effort researching.

In particular, the dish of "eggplant" has a high degree of restoration, and it was handed over to a celebrity chef in Qiongjin Jinling Restaurant for cooking at that time.

I was fortunate enough to taste it, and the taste is still fresh in my memory.

At that time, it was mixed with chicken and eggplant, but now the foie gras is even more wonderful when mixed with it. Why did Xu Hexiang almost stand out as "treacherous"?

Because this dish is suspected of currying favor with the judges!

Although Sun Xiu is not a foodie, she is one of the five star judges, and Qiao Zhi must have studied Sun Xiu's performance experience and tried to make her a loyal supporter of her.

Qiao Zhi did succeed in doing this.

In the next tasting process of the other players, Sun Xiu did not turn around again.

She felt that no other dish could beat Qiao Zhi.

Although Sun Xiu only has one vote, her turn will not only affect the audience's judgment of the contestants, but also shake the fifty professional juries.

Qiao Zhi's strategy really succeeded!

Turnip greens have their own preferences, and even the perfect chef can't guarantee that every ingredient will satisfy all diners.

In the same way, if you put a lot of effort into it, you can find the flavor that the judges love.

Qiao Zhi's second dish has been planned for a long time, using eggplant as the basis to create an innovative dish.

The raw materials of eggplant are chicken breast and chicken broth, but it is okay to change it slightly, duck breast, duck soup or goose breast and goose soup.

The key point is to ensure the consistency of taste.

Xu Kangan sat in the middle of the fifty professional judges' seats, wearing a pure white chef's suit, without even a single pleat, and a tall chef's hat representing his identity.

He turned to look at the foreign chef on his right.

In this competition, the organizing committee arranged for the judges to be complicated, not only the top Chinese national chefs, but also ten foreign chefs as judges.

The Chinese King of Chefs Competition is not only internal, but also international.

Their opinions are important because they represent the views of the judges who will face the future winners of the World King Chef Competition.

The host handed the microphone to the judges' seats, wanting the chief judge Xu Kangan to make an evaluation.

"Mr. Francis, as the head chef of a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, it is necessary for you to rate the ten foie gras!"

Xu Kangan used a proficient English to skillfully transfer the topic to foreigners.

Francis is about fifty years old, with a straight figure, a straight waist, a height of about 1.85 meters, a handsome image, and a gentle gentleman.

"I was impressed by the following dishes, such as foie gras with spring bamboo shoots, foie gras with cherries, smoked foie gras, kung pao foie gras, and baked tea tree mushrooms with foie gras sauce.

But it was the 'eggplant foie gras' that impressed me. I have always admired the traditional Chinese culture, and there is an English translation of "Dream of Red Mansions" on my bedside all year round. Therefore, when Mr. Xu mentioned the idea of this dish to me just now, he confirmed it with the eggplant mentioned in it.

The most unique thing about this dish is that it retains the original flavor of foie gras, but also adds a complex taste experience. I've tasted a lot of foie gras recipes, and this foie gras dish is definitely the most impressive. ”

"What if it compares to the foie gras you cook?" said Xu Kang'an, who seemed humorous, asked another pointed question.

"I'm inspired by this dish! I think that when I return to my country, I will make new varieties of foie gras, and I would like to invite you to taste it and judge it. Francis answered the question with a more tactful and sophisticated approach.

At the end of the interview, the staff also sorted out the votes.

The host walked up to the stage and began to announce the results of the second course:

"Wu Linfeng: 50 votes; Deng Daxian with 50 votes; Zhong Shi with 49 votes...... Qiao Zhi 55 votes. ”
