Chapter 833: Let the contestants eat for a while
There was no need to think about it in advance, because Jiang Feng had never planned to make fish balls of the same flavor from the beginning.
Since there is no limit to the ingredients of the fish balls in the phoenix eggs, as long as they are delicious and delicious, why should the fish balls in a bowl be limited to the same ingredients? The program team gave such a rich selection of ingredients, so it is natural to carry out a variety of collocations in order to make the judges feel the charm of the phoenix eggs.
The same deliciousness is just delicious, and the deliciousness of different paths is a delicacy.
The program team has really invested heavily in ingredients, probably to show the father of the owner that the money they sponsored is not in vain, and the variety of fish in the aquatic area is simply jaw-dropping. Fresh, frozen, and chilled, all the fish that can be found at this time of year are basically on this stage, and some of them are so expensive that they can sell for more than four figures in a single dish in an ordinary restaurant.
Jiang Feng made 7 different kinds of fish balls based on his feelings, and each fish ball made 6 pieces each.
Because the type of fish and mushrooms used are different, the corresponding ratio is also different, and there will be some subtle differences in the texture and taste between each type of fish ball. Jiang Feng wasn't sure if it was suitable or not, because 4 of the 7 kinds of fish balls were in a ratio that he had never used.
I just want to try it myself, and after I finish it, I will know which fish balls should be used in the dishes that are brought to the table.
After kneading the fish balls, it is time to put them in the pot.
There was no technical content in the process of boiling fish balls, and Jiang Feng asked Wu Minqi to help her watch her go to mix the water and beat the egg liquid. Wu Minqi watched the whole process on the side, and didn't see what this dish had to do with phoenix eggs until the fish balls were put into the pot. In her opinion, Jiang Feng was just making ordinary hand-made fish balls, which was no different from when Ji Xue made them, except that Jiang Feng added mushrooms to the fish balls, and the fish meat was beaten more delicately.
"Feng Feng, the fish balls are almost there. Wu Minqi saw that the fish balls in the pot could almost be fished out, and reminded Jiang Feng while taking them out.
Jiang Feng's side was already ready, and he put the fish balls back into the pot and prepared to add egg liquid and thicken them.
Peng Changping and Xu Cheng on the side of the judging table could see that Jiang Feng was preparing to make a phoenix, and Xu Cheng even saw that Jiang Feng had made many different fish balls, and seeing that he was about to reach the most critical and dazzling step, Xu Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to Peng Changping.
"Master Peng, I can't see that Jiang Feng is quite bold. Xu Cheng said that he was bold, referring to Jiang Feng's daring to make a dish that is easy to overturn in such a crucial game.
Yes, phoenix eggs are very easy to roll over.
This dish is a dish that requires precise heat and is in some ways similar to fried double crispy. It's all success or failure, only in a moment, until the last critical step, you never know if he will overturn.
But the phoenix egg is more difficult than the fried double crispy, because the fried double crispy only needs to control the heat, and if the heat is right, you win. In addition to the extremely high requirements for the heat, the phoenix egg also has high requirements for turning the spoon, and there are certain requirements for thickening, which belongs to the enhanced version of the fried double crispy.
Peng Changping heard the meaning of Xu Cheng's words, and said with a smile: "It's still early." You didn't see that he rubbed so many fish balls just now, the number of fish balls on a plate of phoenix eggs is generally 8~12, and the fish balls he said are more than enough to make two plates. Besides, there are so many ingredients left on the cooking table, if you fail, you can just make a few more plates. ”
Xu Cheng didn't have much experience as a judge of a food competition, and he suddenly felt justified when he heard Peng Changping say this. It is normal for a little mistake in a cooking competition to throw away a finished product that has not yet been done or even has been made for a while. As long as you have time, you can redo it as many times as you want.
Xu Cheng glanced at the big screen, there were more than two hours left, and the time could be called quite abundant.
"That's true, but the phoenix egg dish needs to be eaten hot, and it's best to serve it as soon as it comes out of the pot. Otherwise, let's talk to the staff of the program team and wait for the dishes to be ready, and bring them directly to us to taste, what a pity it is to let it cool, and it will affect the results of the competition unfairly. ”
Peng Changping: ......
I think you just want to eat it while it's hot.
Hearing Xu Cheng say this, Peng Changping discussed it with the other two judges and felt that it was still not good. The rule of the competition is that each group of contestants submits their own dishes after the countdown is over, and controlling the time of serving dishes is also one of the keys to victory, if Jiang Feng can't even do this, he deserves to lose.
Just when Peng Changping and several other judges were discussing, the phoenix egg was already out of the pot.
Very beautiful, at first glance without any mistakes in a crazy one.
The thin, delicate and golden egg liquid is evenly wrapped on the fish balls, which looks like the Q bomb can be broken, and the already golden phoenix eggs are shining when a thin layer of sauce is shining, which is particularly attractive.
The superb thickening skills are really useful.
Although Jiang Feng's big spoon has improved a lot, it has not reached the level of Jiang Chengde's supernatural level. The skin of the egg on the surface of the fish balls is very uniform and looks quite thin, but there are always some small flaws that are not taken into account by the heat, but these flaws that can be seen by careful observation are covered by perfect thickening.
As long as the thickening hook is good, not only will the taste of the dish be improved to a certain extent, but even the appearance will add a lot of color.
A little thickening, a lot of magic.
Peng Changping didn't see Jiang Feng's state when he was thickening, but he just looked at it from a distance and felt that the phoenix eggs that had just come out of the pot looked good and of high quality, thinking that it was the credit of the big spoon, and secretly sighed in his heart that Jiang Feng's learning speed was really fast, a thousand miles a day, which was beyond people's reach.
How long has it been since I concentrated on practicing the big spoon?
Such a phoenix egg that is enough to attract everyone's attention naturally also attracted the attention of the bearded chef at the kitchen table next door.
The bearded chef who was holding a measuring cup dropper as if he was doing a chemical experiment was startled when he saw Jiang Feng making the dish, thinking that it was his time estimation error and that it was time to teach the dish immediately, and with a shake of his hand, he dropped a few more drops of wine, and fell short.
After watching the time on the big screen, the bearded man glared at Jiang Feng angrily.
Jiang Feng, who was glared at for no reason: ?
"Feng Feng, isn't it a little too early for us to cook?" Wu Minqi felt that the phoenix egg made by Jiang Feng was very perfect, very tempting, and everything was good but it was too early.
There are still more than two hours to pour the vegetables, and even if the dish is left in the cooler for two hours, the texture and taste will be greatly reduced.
Jiang Feng handed Wu Minqi a pair of chopsticks.
Wu Minqi: ?
"Not early. Jiang Feng stuffed a phoenix egg into his mouth and began to eat lunch.
"Kiki, you don't know, I didn't eat at noon today, I just sat here and drank orange juice, the more I drank, the more hungry I became, this is not a dish, I just want to make a cushion for my stomach first. Jiang Feng said while eating, and his words were a little vague.
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, Wu Minqi's chopsticks that were originally going to add phoenix eggs suddenly shrank back: "Feng Feng didn't eat lunch either, so you can eat this plate." It's just that this is a bit too monotonous, do you want me to fry some vegetables for you? I remember there is a rice cooker in that cabinet, or I will cook you a bowl of rice. ”
Sun Jikai, who was only less than two meters away from the two of them, was conscientiously cleaning the bird's nest that had been cooked at the kitchen table next to him: ?
Do you two have even the most basic respect for this damn game?
Sun Jikai glanced at the phoenix egg on the kitchen table.
Damn, it looks so delicious.
He didn't eat at noon today, okay!
"That, Jiang Feng. Sun Jikai put the bird's nest back in the bowl, "I seem to be a little hungry, can you bring me one?"
In the end, even Sun Maocai, who was far away at the other end of the cooking table, was the only one in the group who was cooking seriously, and joined the ranks of eating phoenix eggs.
You and I will see the bottom of a plate of phoenixes soon.
They don't just eat, they discuss.
"This. Sun Maocai has a good tongue, and as soon as he eats it, he knows which kinds of fish the meatballs are made of, and pointed to the two fish balls in the front small plate, "This combination is not good, I feel that the fish is a little loose when I eat it, and the taste of the mushroom is too prominent to be suitable." ”
"I think the cod is good. Sun Jikai said.
"Which cod? I have three types of fish balls with cod in them. Jiang Feng asked.
Sun Jikai was asked.
Jiang Feng smashed his tongue, feeling that he hadn't eaten enough just now.
Originally, he made a plate of 12 phoenix eggs, and he and Wu Minqi ate about six points full. Later, it became 4 people to eat separately, and the originally expected six points of fullness became three portions of fullness, that is, not full.
There is still plenty of time, the fish and mushrooms are ready, if you want to make new fish balls and rub them again, the remaining fish balls can be cooked on another plate.
"In this way, I will burn all the remaining fish balls and burn another plate, let's try it again to see which one is better, and then I will rub it when I choose, and finally use the next batch of kneaded fish balls when the dish is delivered. Jiang Feng proposed.
All three found the proposal great.
Everyone wants another plate of phoenix eggs.
Sun Maocai's rock sugar bird's nest has reached the final stage of stewing, you only need to put the bird's nest and other ingredients into a small cup and simmer it over low heat.
So all the judges, staff and cameramen saw a more magical scene.
After the four contestants in Tai Fung Lou finished eating the dishes suspected of being used for the competition, the two chefs who were originally working suddenly stopped working and moved a small bench to sit in a row with another female chef to drink orange juice, leaving only one contestant to cook in front of the stove.
Then they finished the freshly cooked dish again.
There was nothing left, and after eating, the chef who was cooking went to the fruit section and came back with a bunch of fruits, and cut a fruit platter for the other three to eat.
The four judges were still hungry, and the contestants had already eaten the after-dinner fruit.
Cameraman: ???
Are these four really here to compete?
How exactly did they get to the semi-finals?
Do you rely on food?
