Chapter 187: Old Persimmon and Old Master (Happy National Day to everyone!)
Well... After Mr. Arnold's reminder, I realized that the unique taste of this fish-flavored shredded pork comes from the sauce made from old persimmons. Product = Book/Net Hong Qi's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes flashed with fine light.
"Chen Mo, how did you come up with the idea of using old persimmons instead of sugar to make condiments?" Jason Arterton asked Chen Mo.
Chen Mo glanced at Herbert, faced the direction of the three judges, and said solemnly: "Persimmon itself has a sweet taste, used to replace sugar as a condiment, and will achieve a surprising taste in many dishes. ”
"Well," Arnold Davis said, nodding, "and the idea of replacing the sweetness of sugar with the sweetness of persimmons to break through the inherent taste of fish-flavored shredded meat and create a new texture can be called the best cuisine." It's really remarkable that you can think of using persimmons to replace sugar at a young age, no wonder on the way over, your Jiangning Master Hong praised you again and again. ”
Hearing that Hong Qi, who had always been upright, actually said good things for himself in front of the chief judges, Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Hong Qi gratefully, and his face turned even redder.
"Its practical persimmon instead of sugar is the method that my grandfather once taught me. ”
With the encouragement of Davis's eyes, Chen Mo continued: "Once I was playing at my grandfather's house and wanted to eat fried shredded pork, but my grandfather found that the sugar at home was all used up, and at that time, grandpa saw the persimmons in the frame on the side, these persimmons are old persimmons, the sweetest is the highest, grandpa used old persimmons instead of sugar, and made me a fried shredded pork, the taste is much better than usual, from that day on, in my memory, there is a way to use persimmons to replace sugar." ”
After listening to what Chen Mo said, everyone immediately discussed.
"The sweetness of the old persimmon turned out to be the highest. ”
"It seems that many of Chen Mo's skills were learned from his grandfather. ”
"Sure enough, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!"
Listening to the discussions of the neighbors, Liu Zongyuan couldn't help but smile in his heart, the dish made by Chen Mo was completely slapping Herbert in the face.
A second ago, Herbert was taunting Arnold Davis for being a master, too old to be useful.
In the next second, Chen Mo used the story of the old persimmon and his grandfather to prove that Lian Po is old and can still eat.
"This kid uses food to the point of doing whatever he wants, it's really amazing!" Liu Zongyuan looked at Chen Mo with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Just when everyone was discussing, Chen Mo suddenly said loudly: "Actually, there is a legendary story about the dish of fish-flavored shredded pork. ”
As soon as they heard that Chen Mo was going to tell a story, everyone immediately fell silent.
"Shhh, Chen Mo is going to tell a story. ”
"Stop talking, don't miss out on the best content!"
Suddenly, there was silence in the square.
Although Davis showed a hint of surprise on his face, he quickly smiled and nodded, motioning for Chen Mo to continue.
"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a family who was very fond of eating fish and was very particular about seasoning, so when they grilled fish, they would put some seasonings such as green onions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce, vinegar and so on. One night, when the hostess was stir-frying another dish, in order not to waste the ingredients, she put the leftovers from the last grilled fish in this dish and stir-fried it. ”
When her husband came back from business, he didn't know whether he was hungry or felt that this dish was very special, so he grabbed it with his hand and swallowed it in his mouth before it could be eaten, and he couldn't wait to ask his wife how to make it. ”
The wife thought that the taste of this dish was not good, and she was afraid that her husband would scold her, so when she was a little spitting, her husband praised the deliciousness of this dish again and again, saying that the taste of this dish was very unique and delicious, so the wife told her husband about it. ”
Later, with the encouragement of her husband, his wife used the leftovers of roasted fish as an ingredient to develop a fish-flavored shredded pork dish. ”
"This is the legend about fish-flavored shredded pork. ”
After Chen Mo finished speaking, some people immediately applauded, and many people whistled.
"It turns out that there is such a legend about fish-flavored shredded pork, and this is the first time I've heard of it. ”
"Yes, it turns out that I've been wondering, there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded meat, why does the name of the dish have 'fish flavor', now I know, it turns out that the predecessor of this dish is because the person who created this dish used the leftovers of roasted fish, and now the truth is revealed. ”
Arnold Davis applauded directly after listening to Chen Mo's story.
Led by Davis, Hong Qi and Artton also applauded.
Compared with Kate Upton's foie gras in red wine, Chen Mo's fish-flavored shredded pork is not only innovative, but also has a profound food culture behind it, which seems to be much more sophisticated than Upton's dishes.
Seeing that the three judges seemed to be conquered by Chen Mo, Ricky Herbert felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said loudly: "The most important thing in the competition of dishes is taste and texture, to pull some other things, it is clear that the cart is put before the horse, I think we should put all our attention on the taste of the dishes." ”
As soon as Herbert finished speaking, District Chief Ran, who had been sitting on the rostrum and watching the whole process, spoke.
"Mr. Ricky, I believe that for the results of this competition, the three judges naturally have their own criteria and yardsticks, we just need to wait quietly for the results, and do not do anything to interfere with the judges. ”
Hearing what District Chief Ran said, Herbert had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
The three judges began to discuss together, and after a while, the three nodded and sat back in their seats.
It seems that the three judges have already come to a conclusion.
The silver-haired Arnold Davis announced loudly: "The winner of this competition is Master Chen Mo, who represents the spring breeze!"
"Yay!!" Chen Mo jumped up happily and waved one hand into the air.
Liu Zongyuan also clenched his hands into fists and roared in his mouth.
When the neighbors in the spring breeze who came to watch heard the good news of Chen Mo's victory, they immediately cheered and celebrated, hugging each other and high-fived...
For a while, the square was filled with everyone's laughter.
Kate Upton heard the result, a look of disappointment was evident on her face, and she lowered her head, her eyes slowly filling with tears.
It was the first time in Upton's career that he had suffered a defeat.
Herbert, on the other hand, had already shed his cloak of hypocrisy and had a completely angry expression.
"District Mayor Ran, we can't accept this result at all, our Miss Kate's French red wine foie gras is the top gourmet cuisine, in terms of taste and taste, we can't lose!" Herbert complained loudly to the rostrum, "I want to complain to the China Food Association on behalf of our association, this game is very unfair..."
"That's enough!" Arnold Davis, who had always seemed mild-mannered, suddenly interrupted Herbert sharply.
"Ricky, don't you know where you've lost?"
I have a food house
