Chapter 111: The Right Way of Cooking
Under the gaze of Huai Liangren, Zhou Dong picked up the lobster fork, forked a piece of shrimp meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, did not speak, and forked the shrimp meat and sent it to his mouth, and then still did not open his mouth to comment, and then raised the fork again.
If you do this several times, you seem to have been intoxicated by the food and can't extricate yourself.
Dai Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he admired this Mr. Xiao Zhou very much, he still hoped that Huai Shi could win this 'special competition'. After all, this is his restaurant, and he doesn't want to be criticized, whether the food is his work or not.
Huai Liangren did not relax his vigilance at all, his eyes kept following Zhou Dong's lobster fork, and his heart was beating faster and faster.
"Damn, is this going to be found out by him?"
Huai Liangren couldn't believe it at all.
This secret baked lobster was one of his bargaining chips for the Cordon Bleu, and even France's best gourmets praised him for revolutionizing the dish with 'god-like techniques and innovative recipes', without discovering the real secret.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is one of his stunts to press the bottom of the box.
"It's delicious, isn't it, you've been so addicted to it that you forgot about the review, my friend, if you throw in the towel now, I'll keep it a secret." ”
Can't give this guy enough time, or he's likely to see through the secret.
Huai Liangren said with a little weakness: "Okay, as a friend, I'm not afraid to remind you that this French baked lobster does not use onions and black peppers, but uses a very special kind of cheese, you can actually start from this direction......"
Zhou Dong flipped the cheese cheese on the shrimp meat with a lobster fork, nodded and said: "Very clever approach, you accurately calculated the time, and then mixed the cheese into the shrimp meat at the right time, this subtle control should be calculated in seconds, right?"
Because the mixing technique is very clever and the heat control is very good, the cheese is completely integrated into the shrimp meat and does not spoil the flavor due to overheating.
Even its unique white mold remains in the shrimp meat, because it is very close to the color of the shrimp itself, not only does it not appear abrupt, but adds a layer of hazy and wonderful feeling to the lobster meat.
You really deserve to be the recipient of the Le Cordon Bleu, you actually applied the word 'color' in Chinese food culture to French cuisine. Lao Huai, you are much better than Marco Polo, he turned a whole Chinese pie into a pizza ......"
Huai Liangren was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, "What are you doing mentioning that fool?"
"This is a Boulie cheese from the town of Bouli in France, and its characteristic white mold gives off the aroma of cheese onions and mushrooms, so when you choose this cheese, you can already discard the onions.
As for black pepper, its flavor is in contrast to that of mushrooms. If you've chosen Bouly, of course you won't choose it again.
And you have another advantage of doing this, black pepper is like Chinese chili pepper, and there are many people who can't accept its taste. So your method of refinement both guarantees the quality of the dish and at the same time expands its audience.
It seems that the French Blue Cordon Bleu did not find the wrong owner, and you deserve this honor. ”
Since Zhou Dong walked into the Yunhu French Restaurant, this is the first time to praise Huai Liangren.
"Well, you're always right!
Zhou Dong, in fact, you are also a genius, but it is a pity that you waste the talent God gave you in a small breakfast department. Trust me, if you go to France, you can also get a Blue Ribbon!
If you're in the UK, you might just need a fried fish to get a knighthood. ”
Huai Liangren laughed, happy not only Zhou Dong praised him, but also secretly happy, if Zhou Dong just saw through the Bourgie cheese, although it was also amazing, at most it would only be a tie with him.
"I'm not done yet......"
Since his illness, he has not said as much as he said today in a month, and Zhou Dong is in a very happy mood.
Although this pleasure was mostly built on the pain of Huai Liangren, he still wanted to continue.
Could it be that I have this disease in addition to mania? It's terrible!
Zhou Dong shook his head and quickly opened the topic: "What makes me wonder is that you are already perfect to replace onions and black pepper with buli cheese, why add another kind of cheese?"
If I'm not misjudged, this would be the 'King of Cheese' Parmesan.
It can be called the king of cheese because it has an extraordinary umami taste, but lobster is originally seafood, why do you want to do more?
Lao Huai, there must be a conspiracy in this?"
"You guy......"
Huai Liangren was speechless, and now he didn't have to doubt at all, this guy sitting in front of him was a devil!
If it weren't for the devil, how could he have tasted the taste of two cheeses mixed in lobster meat?
But what about Parmesan?
God, Parmesan and lobster, which have been completely fused with the shrimp meat, taste so similar that even a hound's keen sense of smell can hardly tell the difference, right?
Before, he was just not very convinced, but now Huai Liangren's gaze at Zhou Dong has a deep sense of fear, this guy in front of him is the same as him, he is a 'superman' who is different from ordinary people!
When he saw Zhou Dong pick up the lobster tongs, Huai Liangren sighed secretly, knowing that he had lost, he turned his head to Dai Jun and the temporary waiter and said, "You two should leave first......
Dai Junzheng saw Xingtou'er, and casually responded: "Oh, I'll watch it for a while...... Ah, okay Huaishi, let's go. ”
Although Chu is not in France, Dai Jun is a person who mixes in the French food world, and this great god in front of him can't afford to offend, just a few casual words can affect his future.
After Dai Jun left, Zhou Dong just finished eating a piece of tongs meat, nodded and said, "Tongs meat will not be faked, you use an American flower dragon." You probably chose it not because the flesh is the best, but because its carapace is the best, right?"
Huai Liangren said angrily: "The whole lobster is here, do you still need to judge through the claw meat of the lobster?"
"You can't say that, for a guy like you who doesn't care about the cost at every turn, and you will use three lobsters to make a French baked lobster, no matter how careful you are. ”
Zhou Dong ordered the lobster on the plate with a lobster fork and continued: "That's right, how can you care about the cost of work if you strive for perfection and pursue extreme deliciousness?"
The most delicious meat of lobster is not in the waist, but in the tail, the meat here is the firmest and sweetest, but unfortunately the meat in the tail is very limited, so you thought of filling this shrimp shell with the tail meat of three lobsters, right?
In addition to the American flower dragon, you also use the Canadian lobster, which contains the least amount of oil, and the Chilean lobster, which has the softest and smoothest flesh, to enrich and balance the taste.
This is indeed a genius idea, knowing that different lobsters have different requirements for heat.
So you'll need to use three ovens at the same time, bake them separately at the same time, and finish with Parmesan cheese to match the flavors of the three lobsters.
I guess you've been doing this for a long time, and you haven't been eaten?"
"Never!"
Huai Liangren glared at him fiercely: "You think everyone is like you!"
Well, I'll admit, you have a great tongue and taste buds. But no matter how good you are, there's still no way to figure out what's wrong with this dish?"
Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "Why not, the problem with this dish is actually your problem, and your problem has existed from the beginning." ”
"I'll have any questions, make it clear!"
"Hehe, you're just doing it with all the best ingredients, it's like a kid building a house out of bricks, and you're smart, but you're never a great architect.
Did you ask the three lobsters how they felt?
Have you ever respected food?
A really good chef doesn't show his craft by wasting the best ingredients for no reason, but makes every ingredient shine as it deserves!
Abalone belly and ginseng wings can certainly make delicious, but can't green vegetables and tofu?
A chef who can make a good dish with green vegetables and tofu is a truly great chef!
That's the right way to cook!"
"What I'm talking about, it seems to be getting more and more level?" Zhou Dong was stunned, when did his brother's eloquence become so good?
Huai Liangren was still a little unconvinced before, but after hearing this, he gradually became silent, and after a long time, he said, "You are right...... Zhou Dong, thank you for the reminder. ”
"Oh, you don't have to be so polite. ”
Zhou Dong opened the system panel and saw that the tasting skills had already increased by a thousand upgrade skill points.
His evaluation of baked lobster convinces Huai Liangren, the base point is 10, 40 times is 400 points, and the other 600 points should be the evaluation of the three bottles of white wine, because it is the topic of Huai Liangren, naturally according to the special standard.
This trip was really not in vain.
