Chapter 68: Rooster Jade Dumplings
"Hello, I need these things. Chen Mo wrote down the raw materials he needed on paper and handed them to the beautiful assistant beside him.
The assistant glanced at it and asked in a low voice, "Chef Chen Mo, are you sure you need this?"
"That's right, a whole one. Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you right away. The beautiful assistant replied with a smile.
After a while, the ingredients that Chen Mo needed arrived.
Chen Mo pulled out a huge ingredient from the bag of raw materials, leaving the supporters who were paying attention to Chen Mo stunned.
"That's... Isn't that a duck?" Ni Shuai blurted out, "The theme of the second round is pasta, what is the big brother going to do with the duck?"
Xu Ming also shook his head blankly, "I don't know about this, but it seems that Chen Mo should have his own ideas." ”
Aunt Peng's eyes were not very good, and she didn't see clearly what Chen Mo took from the bag, she only heard the conversation between Ni Shuai and Xu Ming, so she asked Uncle Zhang: "Old man, is Chen Mo a duck?"
As soon as the words fell, Uncle Zhang immediately quickly stretched out his hand and blocked Aunt Peng's mouth.
"You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. ”
"What do you mean?" Ni Shuai didn't seem to understand Uncle Zhang's reaction and what he said just now.
"Don't worry about the little ones, look, your big brother has done it. Xu Ming hurriedly diverted the topic.
Ni Shuai hurriedly set his eyes on the center of the field.
What Chen Mo took out from the raw material bag was a bare semi-finished duck, the feathers on his body had been plucked clean, and the inside had been completely cleaned.
Chen Mo did not hesitate to take out the Golden Gate kitchen knife and quickly remove the duck's butt and fat skin on his body.
Take out a large pot that can hold the whole duck, then put in the green onion ginger and baking powder, put hot water in the cauldron, boil the water, and the whole duck will continue to tumble with the boiling water in the pot.
Take the hot duck out of the pan, stuff it with black and red ice cubes, and coat the duck with a thick layer of duck fat.
Tie the duck's legs with a thread and take out the hook to hook the whole duck.
Chen Mo looked around and walked towards the hanging stove with the duck.
"This, this, this... This is completely the method of making roast duck, is Chen Mo planning to make roast duck?" Xu Ming was the first to see the doorway.
"Roast duck, what does roast duck have to do with pasta, oh my God, big brother, don't play with it!" Ni Shuai looked like he was about to go crazy.
Chen Mo came to the hanging stove and hoisted the roast duck in his hand into the hanging stove.
In this competition venue, the organizers provided a variety of cooking environments for the chefs, and when Chen Mo looked around, he found three kinds of stoves.
The three types of furnaces are hanging furnaces, simmering furnaces, and converters.
All three stoves can be used to make roast duck, but Chen Mo chose a hanging stove.
The roast duck in the hanging oven mainly relies on the reflection of heat, that is, the heat emitted by the flame is shot from the upper wall of the stove door to the stove, and the top wall is heated and then reflected to the duck body.
After hanging the duck, Chen Mo slowly turned the position of the duck, and saw that the original white duck gradually began to darken in color.
With Jiuyang Pyrotechnics, the heat of the hanging furnace is almost negligible for Chen Mo, who has been standing next to the hanging furnace.
In the case that everyone is mixing and kneading dough, Chen Mo's behavior seems quite unusual.
Zhao Ling was the first to discover Chen Mo's abnormality, and hurriedly came to the hanging stove, glanced at the roast duck inside, and showed a surprised look.
Putting the microphone close to Chen Mo's mouth, Zhao Ling asked, "Chen Mo, what are you doing?"
"As you can see, I'm making roast duck. Chen Mo's words immediately attracted the attention of the audience, and even some of the chefs who were making the noodles stopped moving.
"The theme of this round is pasta, not duck, so why do you want to make roast duck? Zhao Ling is not only raising the audience's questions, but also kindly reminding Chen Mo.
"You'll find out right away. Chen Mo smiled mysteriously, flipped the duck again, and then turned around and walked towards his stove.
Seeing Chen Mo leaving, Zhao Ling also hurriedly stood away from the hanging stove and wiped the sweat slightly exposed on his forehead.
"This guy can stay so long standing in such a hot place. And what exactly is he going to do?"
Chen Mo, who returned to the stove, finally began to make peace, and there were still about 10 minutes before the end of the game.
"Hehe, I'm afraid this kid is funny, let alone making pasta, even if the theme of this round is to make roast duck, with the time required for this round, it is far from enough. Ducks that usually need to be grilled for 40 minutes, but if they only take 20 minutes to roast, they can only be half-cooked, no matter which direction you look at, Chen Mo will be eliminated in this round. Fan Hu was happy in his heart, he was originally worried that Chen Mo was a dark horse, but now it seems that he is too worried.
Just when Chen Mo began to make noodles, the first character in the audience to complete this round of cooking appeared!
Wang Jue of the Jade Hotel!
"Oh, the first chef to complete the noodle dish in this round of the competition has appeared, and he is Chef Wang Jue from the Jade Hotel!" Xiao Feng explained excitedly.
Master Hong slowly walked to Wang Jue's stove, as if he had closed his eyes and glanced at it, and said, "What are you doing?"
"I made rooster jade dumplings. Wang Jue replied with confidence.
It turned out that the pasta made by Wang Jue was dumplings, green dumplings like jade, arranged in the shape of a rooster.
"It's so beautiful, it's like a rooster. Zhao Ling couldn't help but admire.
"That's right, the shape of my rooster is designed according to our great motherland. ”
"Well, that's true. Even the rooster's two feet are posed with dumplings. Xiao Feng immediately explained.
"The shape of the territory..."Master Hong muttered in his mouth, raised his chopsticks, and put a dumpling in his mouth.
It tastes pretty good!
"If you don't guess wrong..."Master Hong raised his chopsticks again and ate two dumplings in a row.
After swallowing the third dumpling, Master Hong said, "Sure enough, the dumplings you made have a green skin, so you should add spinach juice to the noodles." ”
Wang Jue nodded hurriedly, showing an expression of admiration, "That's right." ”
"Hmm... The taste is quite good, and it is also in line with the theme of pasta, so you can tell us how this dish embodies 'tolerance'. Master Hong asked.
"Yes. Wang Jue pointed to his rooster jade dumplings and replied, "This territory represents our motherland, our motherland has a vast land and a vast territory, there are 56 ethnic groups living on this land, each ethnic group can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a very happy life, which reflects the tolerance of the motherland's broad mind." In this dumpling, in addition to putting thought into the production of the dough, I also used different fillings to wrap these dumplings, which means that these dough can accommodate different fillings. These are the tolerances embodied in this dish. ”
"Good. Chef Hong's little eyes flashed, "The territory and taste reflect each other, and at the same time reflect the theme of inclusiveness, but also reflect the great mind of the motherland, and the idea of this dish is very outstanding." ”
Wang Jue's rooster jade dumplings have been highly praised by Master Hong!
"Wang Jue, pass!"
