Volume 2: Chef King Contest Chapter 163 Nezha makes sea dragon tendon soup!

There were judges talking to each other off the stage, and their brows were deeply locked.

Discussing the "three products of immortals and Buddhas" made by Shi He, he paid attention to carving, but there were shortcomings.

"Cantonese cuisine is light and restrained, and now these three dishes look beautiful, but in fact, they have departed from the essence of cooking and borrowed external expressiveness to show the value of the work. One of the judges sighed.

"Such a beautiful three-course dish, to be honest, I don't dare to put down chopsticks, I don't have much appetite. Another judge also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It's like a painting, even though it looks particularly delicious.

But just a painting, the taste of the food itself is overwhelmed.

In short, Shi He's carving skills on these three dishes are so strong that the cooking of the food itself does not take much thought, and the taste is robbed of the limelight by the appearance.

Shi He also knew that the judges would definitely see the problem with his three dishes, and he was also forced to be helpless.

If you push yourself too hard and spend too much effort on styling, the taste of the food may not match the gorgeousness of the styling.

There is no room for redemption.

He still had a fluke.

If there is no one in the same batch who is particularly outstanding, he still has a chance to reach the finals.

Now that you've done your best, it's okay to lose.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Shi He could only comfort himself like this.

......

Deng Daxian is a little better than Shi He, but only slightly better.

You can't use green onions, ginger and garlic, which means that you can't win by cooking Lu cuisine.

Even if it can replace onions, ginger and garlic through special seasoning, there are still flaws in that Qilu dish.

Defective dishes, on the one hand, could not make the judges give him a high score, and on the other hand, Deng Daxian himself did not allow it.

He was a man of honor.

Of course, he has a way of coping with it.

As an elite culinary artist, he is not only proficient in Shandong cuisine, but also has research on other cuisines.

Qilu cuisine is very dependent on onions, ginger and garlic, but other cuisines are also so dependent on onions, ginger and garlic accessories.

Deng Daxian's life can be regarded as bumpy and legendary, he was an orphan since he was a child and grew up in a welfare home. Under the mistake of Changyang, he worshiped under the door of Master Qilu Cai, and then he was not satisfied, and worshiped many masters one after another.

Because Qilu cuisine was the first he began to learn, and he lived and grew up in Qilu, he always called himself a chef of Lu cuisine.

In fact, his attainments in other cuisines have surpassed the level of Qilu cuisine.

"It seems that Deng Daxian is finally going to show his true strength. Wu Linfeng observed the display screen, and the corners of his mouth appeared solemn.

He has always regarded Deng Daxian as a stumbling block to his victory in the King Chef competition.

Wu Linfeng's personality is more unruly, especially in cooking, except for his master, he has not served anyone.

Deng Daxian is worth paying attention to.

Deng Daxian is like an encyclopedia of Chinese cuisine, no matter what the dish, he can say one, two, three, four, and the food he produces is also very authentic.

The key is that Deng Daxian has a relatively bold personality and has a kind of temperament.

Wu Linfeng's cooking skills are not lost to him, but his personality is definitely lost to him.

Deng Daxian chose "Zheyuan cuisine" for the first dish - "Zhejiang Sanxian".

Zhejiang Sanxian uses shuifa meat skin, minced fish, cooked chicken, cooked pork belly as raw materials, and the seasonings include white soup, Shao wine, sugar, refined salt, monosodium glutamate, wet starch, and cooked lard.

Therefore, you don't need onions, ginger and garlic to cook deliciously.

Deng Daxian's knife work, although not as pleasing to the eye as Shi He, is human

A particularly robust and heavy feeling.

Each knife is very precise, like a ruler.

Cut the skin into 5 cm long and 2 cm wide water chestnut slices, then wash the chicken, cook it, and cut it into 4 cm long and 1 cm wide slices.

Then the pork belly is sliced after cooking with alkali.

Grass carp is slaughtered and washed, and egg white, wet starch, monosodium glutamate, and lard are stirred to make minced fish, and kneaded into fish balls.

"Raise" over low heat.

The pork is chopped into minced meat, made into meatballs, and steamed in a steamer over a high fire.

When all the ingredients are ready, put the meat skin, chicken slices, pork belly slices, bamboo shoots, river prawns, and meatballs in a pot and cook them together.

The meatballs are placed around the plate and the cooked ham slices are placed on top.

The face of the dish is refreshing, the soup is thick, and the sense of hierarchy is very strong.

"How about Deng Daxian's Zhejiang Sanxian?"

"Eye-catching, textbook presentation. โ€

"To be able to make you a master of Zheyuan cuisine say this, it is enough to show his strength. โ€

Among the judges, there is a master of Qilu cuisine and a master of Zhejiang Yuan cuisine, and they usually have a good relationship.

The comments of the judges of Zhejiang Yuan cuisine are highly praised.

"Deng Daxian has a good character, and every holiday, he will drive to the welfare home to cook for the elderly or children. โ€

"Really, he looks five big and three thick, but he didn't expect to be delicate, but he was blind. โ€

Of course, there are also those who question him for using this matter to hype himself. โ€

"Hype? Those who question him, have they done any good deeds? If they have not done any good deeds, they are not qualified to be evaluated. โ€

After Deng Da first made the three fresh dishes in Zhejiang, he began to make the second dish "fried pork with fermented bean curd"!

The judges of Zheyuan cuisine quickly saw the doorway of this dish, and sighed with emotion, "Deng Daxian, are you also proficient in Huaibei cuisine?"

"If you dare to do it, there must be two brushes. โ€

Fried pork with fermented bean curd is a classic dish of Huaibei cuisine.

The sauce is made with red sรจ bean curd as the main seasoning, and can be seasoned without the help of green onions, ginger and garlic.

Deng Da first cut the tenderloin into slices, add egg whites and mix evenly, take a bowl, add fermented bean curd and crush it, then add sugar, cooking wine, starch and water and stir well.

Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry the meat slices until the meat slices turn into sรจ, drain the oil, pour in the fermented bean curd juice and bring to a boil.

After the soup is thickened, add the oiled meat slices, stir-fry quickly, pour in sesame oil, and put on a plate.

Without any mud or water, this dish shows superb spoon skills.

The process of Deng Da's first cooking of this dish is done in one go.

"Deng Daxian has also started to show off his skills!"

"Not only did he show off his superior skills, but he also showed off his amazing reserve system. โ€

"For the third course, will you choose a different cuisine?"

"It's a huge possibility. โ€

As some discerning people speculated, Deng Daxian chose to find another way to cook three classic dishes of different cuisines after Deng Daxian did not have the main accessories of Shandong cuisine, onions, ginger and garlic.

Prove that you don't need to rely on these excipients to make delicious meals.

Everyone is looking forward to what cuisine Deng Daxian will choose for the third course!

"Southern Cantonese cuisine: sturgeon dragon tendon soup?"

"Does he want to use this dish to completely crush Shi He?"

Shi He is the chef of Nanyue cuisine, and now the two are competing together, if Deng Daxian proves that the Nanyue cuisine he makes is more than Shi He, then wouldn't Shi He be very passive?

"It makes sense for Deng Da to choose Nanyue cuisine first. Nanyue cuisine was originally made of green onion and ginger

The requirements for garlic are not high, as for the sturgeon dragon tendon soup, it is mainly pure and fresh, and the onions, ginger and garlic are put in, but it loses its original taste. โ€

Deng Da is the first to be a treasure bag of cuisines, and the third course can be selected a lot.

He feels that the opportunity is rare now, if he can suppress Shi He in the rematch stage, then there will be one less opponent in the final stage.

I saw that there was a precious "sturgeon" in the ingredient warehouse I had drawn.

Deng Daxian then decided to make a finale dish: dragon tendon soup.

In the legend of "Nezha and the Sea", the descendants added a plot to the brain, after Nezha killed the crown prince of the dragon king, he pulled out the dragon tendons and boiled the soup for his father Li Jing to drink.

Sturgeon tendon, commonly known as "dragon tendon", refers to the gelatinous bone marrow in the spine of the sturgeon, which is transparent, elastic and rich in collagen.

"Shark fin, sturgeon bone". Sturgeon is the only living fossil in the world that lives in water, and its flesh is soft and soft, making it the most nutritious of all fish.

Of course, the conference provided is foodstuffs, all farmed, and can be used legally.

The raw dragon tendon is milky white sรจ, a little hard, a long one, the feel is like a silicone rubber band, the Qing Dynasty is a tribute exclusively for the emperor to enjoy, it seems to be white as snow, and the texture is soft and tough.

Deng Da first chose pumpkin soup as the base, fathead fish into fish hibiscus and then made into a mushroom shape, and finally added sturgeon tendon, chicken fir, baby cabbage, chicken soup and then put it in a stew pot and steamed for 10 minutes.

"I didn't expect Deng Daxian to dare to make dragon tendon soup! This is a very difficult dish, and it is difficult for non-Nanyue chefs to make classic tastes. โ€

"Deng Daxian in order to suppress Shi He, it can be regarded as a housekeeping skill. โ€

"The third set of semi-finals was really exciting. It's all about the finals being staged in advance. โ€

"I originally thought that when they encountered such a big obstacle, they would end up in the rematch. Now it seems that they slapped me hard with their strength. โ€

Deng Daxian breathed a sigh of relief, and it took a lot of effort to make all three dishes.

He knew that these three dishes were not as pleasing to the eye as the three products of the fairy and Buddha made by Shi He, and there were no three important accessories of onions, ginger and garlic, but in a short period of time, they made a combination of the three major cuisines of "Zhejiang, Shandong, and Guangdong".

"Deng Daxian is too strong!"

"Is this the level of the chef?"

"The next step is up to the judges, and it's no surprise that both of them were able to make it to the finals. โ€

"Not necessarily. It is not surprising that the King Chef Competition brings together Chinese food masters from all over the world and rushes out of a dark horse. โ€

"Dark horse? In front of the super strong seed players, the dark horse is also a waste horse. โ€

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Deng Da glanced at Shi He first, and Shi He looked at him cowardly.

The videographer captured this interesting detail.

The two rubbed sparks, this is the atmosphere that the game should have!

The competition should have the momentum of who else is self-serving!

There are also two rotten girls who secretly discuss, thinking that they are more like discharging each other to attract each other's attention.

Loe and Shen Bowei were on the sidelines, and the two began to analyze the situation.

Luo Yi frowned, "Qiao Zhi's current situation is unfavorable, I originally thought that Wu Linfeng was very strong, but I didn't expect Deng Daxian and Shi He's cooking skills to be so amazing." โ€

Shen Bowei said pessimistically: "They are obviously suppressed, but they still show the level of quasi-national chefs." This year's players are at a higher level than in previous years. โ€

"The videographer is too eccentric. The camera only shows Deng Jiaxian and Shi He. I don't know that Qiao Zhizhi can't play extraordinarily. Luo Yi sighed.

Now Qiao Zhi can only have a chance to break out of the rematch if he plays extraordinarily.
