Chapter 140: Chicken Noodle Soup
When the waiter served the dishes, Xue Xinjian noticed that this time he was tasting a bowl of noodles.
The white bowl of clear soup, white noodles and green vegetables, and a poached egg are lying down, looking simple but exuding an extraordinarily delicious taste.
"Chicken noodle soup?" Xue Xinjian confirmed to the waiter.
After receiving an affirmative answer, he looked at the cooking area, and sure enough, it was Ozuo who raised his hand to signal that the cooking was finished, and the tower-like material raised his hand like a Siberian black bear.
"I don't know what level of noodles he makes, but he has a few true legends from the Aozao Pavilion. Xue Xinjian picked up a noodle and sucked it into his mouth.
The entrance of the thin noodles is extraordinarily chewy, and after biting down, you can even feel the bursting of the noodles when they are broken, and it is obviously a boiled noodle soup, but it looks like a bursting taste, and it is unusually delicious.
"This noodle is so chewy!" Xue Xinjian's eyes lit up!
On the judges' bench, several judges also ate particularly pleasantly.
"This side is kind of interesting!" Yang Tan commented as the master of the white case.
"How does this texture come about?" He Jianmin usually eats a lot of noodles, but it is the first time he has eaten noodles with this texture.
"Interesting. Mei Yuanbai and Xue Yi were also a little curious, waiting for Yang Tan's explanation.
"The noodles are very chewy, and if you are not mistaken, they are made with pure eggs and noodles, and the soup stock is added to enhance the flavor, so the noodles are delicious. ”
"Pure egg noodles don't have this taste, right?" He Jianmin said that I have never eaten a pig and have seen a pig run, you can't lie to me like that.
"This tendon and bullet should be mixed with crab roe. Yang Tan cut the noodles, revealing orange crab roe.
"The noodles are still noodles, but because they are mixed with crab roe, they have a cracky texture when you bite into them. ”
"I see!" He Jianmin said he understood.
"It's not easy, isn't it?" Gu Pingping said.
He is a red case chef, although he can also make noodles, but it is limited to some simple noodles, and even dragon beard noodles are difficult to make, let alone this skillful pastry with crab roe inside.
"It's not small, it's difficult!" Yang Tan is a white case chef and knows the difficulty of this kind of craft.
"It's not difficult to simply mix crab roe into the dough, but Aozuo's bowl of chicken noodle soup can hide crab roe without changing the appearance of the noodles, which can be said to be extremely difficult. If he is willing to share how to make a dish, this dish alone will qualify for the cover of "Star Chef" and even get a global interview. ”
"And this soup, it's not just the stock provided by the organizing committee. ”
"Chicken racks, duck racks, pork bones, ham, scallops...... I think I remixed the soup stock with the seasoning, but in order to reflect the umami, I deliberately weakened the flavor of the seafood and enhanced the flavor of the chicken soup. ”
Yang Tan said his point of view seriously.
"Chicken fat. Xue Yi tasted it and said the key ingredients.
"He sealed the flavor of the soup with a thin layer of chicken fat, so at first he only thought it was delicious, but when he ate it, the flavor of the chicken soup and the flavor of the crab roe were completely released, and it would be even stronger. ”
"Could it be the unique skill of the Okuzao Noodle Restaurant?" asked Huang Sheng seriously.
"It's not quite like that, the Ao Stove Noodle Restaurant has only a few noodles, and the unique skills are all toppings and noodles, if there is this craft, they would have already publicized it, and they will not still hold the two promotions of fried eel noodles and braised duck noodles. Yang Tan shook his head, obviously expressing disdain for the behavior of eating the old book.
"So it's possible that this dish was created by Ao Zuo?" Xue Yi was a little surprised, "He's not even 30 this year, right?"
"I'm exactly 28 this year, and I've been a white case chef for eight years. Yang Tan said.
"He entered the Ao Stove Noodle Restaurant at the age of eighteen, when he first went to be a waiter, he was transferred to the back kitchen to wash vegetables after serving dishes for a year, and later because of his hard work, he entered the eyes of Master Xia, and he became Master Xia's apprentice from the water platform, full-time noodles, and this sum is five years. Three years ago, Chef Xia told me that he had started to learn to be a white case chef, and he was already qualified to be a rotating chef at a noodle restaurant last year, but he didn't expect that it had only been another year and he was already able to create his own cooking. ”
"It's really terrifying!" Yang Tan thought for a long time, and could only sigh with emotion.
"Then he has a good talent, Master Xia really accepted a good apprentice. He Jianmin said enviously.
"Actually, Master Xia said that Ao Zuo's talent is not high, but he works hard. Yang Tan seemed to think of something, and shook his head with a smile.
"Master Xia first taught him to make noodles because he felt that he had great strength and gluten. As a result, I didn't expect that he had never met with each other, and his grasp of the ratio of water and noodles was a mess. Add more water to the noodles, add more water to the noodles, and only find the right feeling after living fifty catties of flour. ”
"Fifty pounds is not much. Huang Sheng also listened to the gossip.
"Fifty pounds a meal is not much, but I can't stand living three times a day, and I forget the proportion every time. Yang Tan held back a smile and finally finished speaking.
All:......
"Then this talent is really not high!"
However, Master Xia didn't mind, he felt that if he worked hard, he would have a chance to succeed, so he still let him make a face, and pointed out the essentials of peace every day. ”
As a result, he lived for a year with 150 catties of flour and noodles a day, and he actually got his senses. No matter what kind of dough it is, as soon as you get started, you will know how long the dough has been used and how much water has come out. ”
"Heaven rewards hard work, this saying has been true since ancient times. Xue Yi nodded and praised rarely: "We chefs used to be called diligent, what is diligent? One is that people must be diligent, and the other is to be able to suffer." It's normal to have such an experience and to have such results now. ”
"That's how young people should be. "Huang Sheng also experienced this kind of crazy scene when he was making white-robed shrimp himself, so he especially admired Ao Zuo, who could be so crazy for cooking.
"But I'm still curious how he wrapped the crab roe so evenly. Gu Pingping, the kitchen idiot, still remembered the special skill just now.
"I'm afraid you have to ask Ao Zuo himself, but that kid is arrogant, except for being grateful to Master Xia, everyone else looks down on him. If you ask him, there is a good chance that he will not tell you. ”
"It's normal, if you can have this level, which one is not extremely high. Gu Pingping didn't care about this.
"It's not a good thing for young people to be too high-spirited, he has suffered, but he doesn't have this kind of awe, I'm afraid he will make a big mistake. Mei Yuanbai looked at Ao Zuo and shook his head slightly.
He is old, he has seen too many geniuses, and he knows very well that these geniuses and destruction, in fact, sometimes there is only one dish away.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's rate the food, the score from the food reviewer has already come out. ”
"9 points. ”
"9.5 points. ”
......
In the end, Ozuo's chicken noodle soup score was fixed at 9.2 points, the highest score so far.
"Senior brother, next, it's up to your apprentice to surpass it. Xue Yi spoke, but his eyes looked at Su Zifang, and he was faintly looking forward to it.
"What if that stupid apprentice of mine can also cause an upset?"
