454 True Perfection

This quality of tempura is definitely worth tasting by Zhou Dong, even if it has a legendary taste, you can't get a glimpse of enough 'ingenuity' just from the taste.

When Zhou Dong ate tempura, Shang Lao, Mr. Shang, Yan Lao and several of the most famous chefs in the white case also took one and began to taste it, and the rest of the people, including Shang Qingxiong, could only drool and watch greedily.

Cang Yun is challenging Zhou Dong, but he is not opening the door to do business, he is not ready to continue to do it after frying a few tempuras, this kind of operation method of entering the oil pot empty-handed is obviously extremely energy-consuming, and if he is not careful, I am afraid that the slender hand will become a fried phoenix claw......

The entrance of the top-level tempura, even Mr. Shang and Mr. Shang, who have eaten countless delicacies, were all bright-eyed, but they didn't say anything, after all, they were not as professional as Cai Bo, and although they didn't come here to help Zhou Dong, they actually had some longing for this magical young chef in their hearts, and it was obviously inappropriate to praise Cang Yun now, isn't that 'raising the morale of others and destroying their own prestige'?

After Yan Lao slowly finished eating tempura, he also smiled and said nothing, seeing that he didn't speak, some chefs who wanted to show their professional level in front of Shang Lao could only keep silent, and looked at Zhou Dong instead.

These experts are actually the same as Cai Bo, and they are not optimistic that Zhou Dong can win, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the Qiankun of the Cang family is famous in the diligence industry, and I heard Cang Yun say that even the god of tempura in the island country is just a junior apprentice of the Cang family, not even an apprentice!

This is the origin of family learning, Zhou Dong is no matter how good he is, he can't be good at everything, right? If he can still win, wouldn't we people be too bad, how many years of cooking experience have we learned from dogs?

Zhou Dong also ate very slowly, just like Cai Bo, he chewed very carefully, and it took about ten minutes to eat this tempura, looking at the cotton and bamboo paper on the plate, which was as clean as new, and nodded: "The Qiankun of the Cang family is really extraordinary, admire, admire." ”

Cang Yun smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Dong,

Kid, is it time to admit defeat? I told you a long time ago, and there is no shame in losing to me.

Zhou Dong looked at her and said slowly: "The biggest difference between tempura and ordinary fried food is not actually the choice of 'species', but the kung fu that is reflected in this layer of 'tempura clothes'.

The proper ratio of egg mixture and thin flour will not absorb oil as easily as breadcrumbs, and the chef can control the heat, the thickness of the dough, and the temperature of the oil to ensure that the tempura will instantly set the shape of the dough without scorching when it is fried.

At the same time, the "seed" inside the tempura clothes will release water, under the action of external heat and internal steaming, not only the inner "seeds" will ensure that the fresh and delicious taste, but also the water vapor will also block the tempura clothes from the inside to the outside to continue to absorb the oil, theoretically the fried tempura only needs a few minutes to drain the oil, and can achieve the supreme state of "no oil".

I just tasted Chef Kura's craftsmanship, and sure enough, the clothes are crispy and sweet, which is the unique taste of tempura that has no oil, and generally speaking, it can be regarded as the highest level of fried tempura. ”

"Hehe, Team Leader Zhou is really still a person who knows the goods, in fact, if we are not the opponent of the game, I can see you as my bosom friend, you are right......"

Cang Yun smiled when she heard this, and was about to continue to deliver her victory speech, when she was suddenly stunned: "What do you mean by what you just said in general?"

When Zhou Dong ate tempura just now, he also had an expression of intoxication and enjoyment, and after eating, he grabbed Cang Yun and praised it violently, this is not just a bosom friend? If it weren't for the age gap, it could be regarded as a greasy compliment between lovers, so no one in the audience heard what he said just now, and there was clearly room for it.

Even Yan Lao and Cai Bo didn't feel anything wrong for a while, only Shang Lao glanced at Zhou Dong with a smile when he heard the end, and his eyes, which had always been motionless, showed a trace of curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

Generally speaking?

What about the two and the three?

This is not a 100% compliment, it is clearly a later story.

Cang Yun is the party after all, and gradually tastes that Zhou Dong's words are a little wrong.

Stared at Zhou Dong tightly and said, "You mean, this tempura hasn't really reached the highest level yet?"

"I hate to say it, but it's the truth. ”

Zhou Dong said: "In the highest realm, there is also true perfection and beauty with defects, and Master Cang's tempura obviously belongs to the latter.

But as I said, this is already the highest level under normal circumstances, and Master Cang's ability to achieve this level of tempura is already very, very remarkable, and it is estimated that even the god of tempura in the island country may not be able to compare to you......"

Cai Bo nodded slightly as he listened, although Zhou Dong had never eaten Mr. Kojima's tempura, he guessed correctly.

When he tasted Cangyun's tempura just now, he compared it with the taste in his memory, maybe the top freshwater shrimp is really sweeter than peony shrimp, or maybe Mr. Kojima has not yet fulfilled the true heritage of the Kura family.

But what does this Xiao Zhou master mean, can't such a top-notch tempura satisfy him? Is it that I, Lao Cai, won't eat it, or is this young man talking big?

Not to mention Cang Yun, even Cai Bo was faintly unconvinced, when it comes to tasting food and beauties, he has always considered himself an expert, is it not as good as a young man?

"Team Leader Zhou, I'm also curious, could you please tell me more carefully, what should the perfect tempura look like in your mind?"

After all, Cai Bo is self-contained, but he is just humble to ask for advice.

"Mr. Cai, if I guessed correctly, Mr. Kojima in your mouth made the tempura that you will never forget, and he also used the method of empty-handed into the oil pot, but his descendants have lost this skill, and they should have used a clamp, am I right?"

"That's right, so although Mr. Kojima's descendants can also make very good tempura, they still have to leave a little oil stain, and the taste is a little bit worse, which is really sorry for me. ”

Recalling that he went to Kyushu to taste tempura the year before last, Cai Bo shook his head, obviously still a little embarrassed.

"That's why I've always thought that only tempura fried with bare hands is top-notch, and that's because ......"

"This is because when the tempura is put into the pot, no matter how clever the chef's technique is, the tempura clothes will inevitably be damaged at the moment of contact with the hot oil, and if they can't be 'repaired' in time, the oil will seep into the clothes, and it will not be able to do the degree of 'no oil', and it will also affect the sweetness of the 'shrimp seeds' in the clothes. ”

Zhou Dong said: "In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to 'repair' tempura clothes if you use a fixture, only human hands can be so sensitive and can be repaired quickly."

This is actually the meaning of the existence of the Kura family's 'Qiankun into the oil hand', unless it is a delicate delicacy such as fried tempura, if it is fried fritters, vegetable slots or something, it is estimated that Master Kura will not use such a difficult method. ”

"Old Zhou, why do I get more confused the more I listen?"

Shang Qingxiong clutched his rumbling stomach, but he couldn't help but remind him: "One moment to say that other people's tempura has not yet reached the perfect realm, and another time to praise other people's ability to enter the oil pot empty-handed, your logic seems to be a little confused?"

Yan Lao, Cai Bo and the others also listened inexplicably, was this young man under too much pressure, and what he said began to contradict himself?

Cang Yun sneered and was about to speak, but Zhou Dong waved his hand and said, "Master Cang, I haven't finished talking yet."

In everything, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and how could it not be the case that the Cang family entered the oil pot empty-handed? Could it be that Master Cang did not discover the fatal flaw of the family heirloom method?

I would like to ask Master Cang, even if there is a noodle wrapping around your hands, and your hands are extremely skillful, how long can your hands stay in the hot oil pot?"

"Hmph, do you need to stay for a long time?

You should know that there is no point in staying too long, and repairing the damaged tempura garment is only a second or two away, which is enough time!"

Cang Yun's face changed slightly, how could this kid actually say what his grandfather said back then?

But even my grandfather later said that repairing it by hand was the only feasible way, and not to mention that there was no way to 'keep your hands' in the hot oil for too long, even if it could be done, it didn't make any sense.

"Is there really enough time?"

Zhou Dong chuckled: "If there is really enough time, Master Cang will not be in a little hurry."

I think Cai Lao should also have discovered that there is a problem with these tempura made by Master Cang, that is, the tempura clothes have not been 100% repaired.

Chef Cang guaranteed the most delicious Luo Yi wrapped around the meat segments such as shrimp body and shrimp loin, but because of lack of time, he had to ignore the shrimp tail.

After all, the tempura garment on the outside of this area is the most easily damaged, and at the same time the most difficult to 'repair'. It's also for this reason that when you put the tempura on the net rack to drain the oil, you must be leaning against the side net, and it's all shrimp tails down!

Am I right, Master Cang?"

"You ......"

Cang Yun's face changed greatly, this guy, why are his eyes so poisonous, and he can even see this little flaw?

Grandpa said back then that fried tempura and other delicacies will never be solved, and it can't even be called a mistake, but it is just an existence like an 'error', which even the Kura's Qiankun can't solve.

However, grandpa also said that even if this problem is another hundred years, I am afraid that no chef can solve it, naturally excluding the kid in front of him.

Thinking of this, I was slightly settled: "Yes, I admit that there is such a flaw, but the problem that I can't solve, can you solve it?"

At this moment, Cai Bo was completely stunned, and felt that he as a gourmand would not eat it at all now......

What's wrong with the shrimp tails in the tempura? Isn't it more charred and crispy, what's the problem?

Could he have made a better taste?

Is this young man crazy, or does he have a magical method that even he can't get a glimpse of?

"Since I say so, it can be solved. ”

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Who said that if you want to make the top-notch and perfect tempura, you must put it into the oil pot empty-handed?"

I'm going to make a more perfect tempura with a jig!"

"It's absolutely impossible!"

Cang Yun almost shouted out directly, with a clamp?

The damage of the fixture to the tempura clothes is even greater than that of the boiling white oil, and it is repaired? If you don't get the second damage, thank God, you won't say that with you when you say big things!

"Hehe, is it feasible, won't I know when I make tempura?"

Zhou Dong smiled: "I'll prove it to Master Cang." ”

"Boy, don't just rely on your mouth, you can start it!"

Cang Yun is really going crazy, the significance of this game is not only limited to challenges, Zhou Dong is fundamentally denying the Cang family's 'Qiankun into the oil hand'!

This hand is too ruthless, if this kid is not bragging, he is going to uproot the skills that have been passed down by the Cang family for three generations!

How could she still endure it?

"Not yet......"

Zhou Dong shook his head, looking helpless.

No, this time, even Shang Lao didn't feel frowning, and everyone was even more stupid to listen to, and he said a lot of things with you, but he said that it is not right now? Lao Tie, you can do it!

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect Master Cang's craftsmanship to be so skillful, to be honest, I'm also very stressed, in order to make the perfect top-notch tempura, I need a special fixture, but with the strength of the national banquet preparation team, I should be able to get this kind of fixture soon, right?

The clamp I need is made of silver, the clamp rod must be as thin as a bamboo skewer, the chuck should be two, the pieces are cicada wings, and the two chucks should have some concave ......"

Listening to Zhou Dong's story, Yan Lao's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Don't worry, tomorrow morning at the latest, the fixtures you need can be made, Xiao Zhou, don't you let us down?"

Elder Shang actually spoke: "Interesting...... Master Xiao Zhou, I will be here tomorrow morning. ”

"I'll do my best. ”

Zhou Dong was relieved, fortunately, he could borrow a fixture to delay for a day.

Although he had a glimpse of Cangyun's ingenuity and unique techniques with his tasting skills, in order to continue to improve it and make the perfect tempura, he had to practice it 'all year round' in the back kitchen of creation, and it was not something that could be done by finding an excuse to take a nap and be in a daze.

When he walked out of the back kitchen, Shang Qingxiong touched his hungry stomach and suddenly said: "Old Zhou, I always feel that you are making excuses, to be honest, are you doing something?"

Zhou Dong glared at him: "If I were you, I'd go and fill my stomach now!"
