Chapter 81: Junya Watanabe
The second finisher is actually the boy who was late for the whistle!
The whole audience was watching him, this boy's psychological quality is obviously very good, he is used to big scenes, although he is still young, his steps are steady, and the hand that serves the plate does not tremble at all, and he steadily serves the food to the examiner's seat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's what I cook!"
At close range, he looked at the three seniors in the culinary industry, Dojima Gin, Kamihara Masato and Ryoko Lina, and Junya Watanabe, the childe brother, said calmly.
The two maids who came with him clasped their hands in the audience and prayed, and their nervousness came from the heart.
"It must be qualified!" said an older maid.
"Definitely qualified!"
"The young master has inherited the cooking skills of the Watanabe family!" said another petite and cute maid, full of affirmation and confidence in Junya Watanabe.
"Western food?"
In the tray served by Junya Watanabe, there were three small white plates, each with a piece of brown cod meat.
In addition to the cod cuts, there were a few slices of fresh lemon on the plate, a clump of cauliflower that had been hot.
Of course, typical Western food is indispensable for plating decorations.
Bright green thyme with a small daisy clustered around.
The whole plate comes in three colours: crispy yellow for fish pieces, yellow for lemon slices, green for cauliflower and thyme, and white for the plate and daisies.
At first glance, it is full of artistic sense.
"It's very exquisite Western food!" said Masato Kamihara, "The presentation of Western food is a science. Before people taste the delicious flavor, the first thing people know about food is the visual image. ”
"This is an era of vision, and more than 85% of human cognition comes from vision. If the chef has mastered the art of plating, he will undoubtedly be able to add points to his own dishes. ”
Dojima Silver nodded, fully agreeing with Masato Kamihara's statement.
He found that Junya Watanabe had a good temperament and was very young, so he asked out loud, "Are you still a student?"
Unexpectedly, Jun Watanabe shook his head.
"Mr. Dojima, I'm sorry that I stopped going to school for a long time, let alone from Yuanyue. This son-in-law has done a very good job of etiquette and bowed slightly, "At present, I am helping at home, and my cooking skills are also from my family." ”
"He's from Watanabe's family. Ryoko Rina interjected, glanced at Junya Watanabe, and didn't talk nonsense, picking up the knife and fork.
"The Watanabe family?"
Dojima Silver suddenly, "The son of the Watanabe Western restaurant chain group, no wonder." ”
He turned his gaze to the cod chunks on his plate and smiled.
"It's a unique approach......
As he spoke, Dojima also used a knife and fork to cut off a corner of crisp yellow cod and put it in his mouth.
The taste is very light.
The cod is tender in the mouth, without the oiliness of fried food, and has a smooth texture.
Dojima Gin's eyes lit up, and he savored it, and couldn't help but say while eating, "I see! First, the cod meat is processed into thick slices, one slice is just enough for one dish, and the water attached to the fish meat is absorbed with a kitchen paper towel, mixed with salt, cooking wine, pepper and other condiments, and marinated for at least 20 minutes......
At this, he paused.
Ryoko Lina swallowed the food in her mouth, put down the knife and fork, and grabbed a napkin to wipe the corners of her lips, and then said slowly: "Marinating is only the first step, but any chef will do it." ”
"The key is how to keep the cod tender and smooth during frying. ”
She pointed to the remaining half of the cod meat on the white plate, and the large broadcast screen above the stadium gave a close-up of the cod meat at the right time.
"After marinating, you still spread egg yolks and milk evenly on both sides of the cod meat?" Ryoko Rina glanced at Junya Watanabe.
"Yes. ”
"Use an egg, after breaking, remove the egg white, leaving only the yolk, mix with milk, evenly spread it on the cod meat, dip it in an appropriate amount of cornstarch, and fry it in salad oil, so that the fresh and tender taste of the cod can be preserved to the greatest extent. ”
Jun Watanabe also responded calmly, not at all when he was late for the whistle and complained about the panic of the luxury examiner lineup.
"This step is not difficult, the key is oil temperature control!" "Raw frying should be divided into two stages, the first stage, the oil temperature is controlled at eighty percent hot, medium heat frying, until both sides are golden, then the second stage is to use high fire, the purpose is to force out the fat that invaded the fish meat during frying." ”
"If we can survive the second stage, this pan-fried cod dish with lemon sauce will be more than half successful. ”
Hear the words.
The chefs in the audience were all discussing.
Oil temperature and heat control are actually more based on experience. Many middle-aged chefs are also impressed by Jun Watanabe.
Judging from the color of the frying, this pan-fried cod with lemon sauce has almost perfect heat control.
"It's so strong!"
Smelling a hint of lemon mixed with fish in the air, while Xinhu Scarlet Shazi secretly swallowed his saliva, he was also shocked by the cooking skills of this peer from another school, "In Yuanyue, at least it is the top level of third-year students, and there is no problem with graduation!"
"Watanabe Western Restaurant Group?" Shinto Scarlet suddenly remembered the words of Examiner Ryoko Rina just now, and her heart was suddenly relieved.
For example, the new family where she is located is good at Chinese medicinal food, and the Watanabe family, which is also a force to be ignored in the neon catering industry, started running a Western restaurant in the early years, and has been faintly accumulating the heritage of becoming a food giant for decades.
If you just look at the appearance, Junya Watanabe's creamy and weak image is indeed easy to misunderstand, this is a gentleman.
The three examiners all put down their knives and forks, and the audience was eagerly looking forward to the final evaluation of the examiners, but Junya Watanabe suddenly said, "Wait, my food hasn't been fully presented yet!"
He raised his hand, and the examiner and the audience realized that he had been holding a small bottle of seasoning in his hand all along.
"It's a classic Italian sauce I made myself......"
Junya Watanabe stepped forward and spread the sauce evenly on the surface of the cod meat, then stepped back, "Please use it!"
However, none of the three examiners moved.
"Enough!"
Dojima Silver crossed his arms in his position, and his voice was low, and when Watanabe Junya's heart sank and he secretly exclaimed, Dojima Silver suddenly said a qualified evaluation, causing the audience to be surprised.
"Qualified!"
"Qualified!"
Masato Kamihara and Ryoko Rina said one after another.
Junya Watanabe looked at the plate in front of the three examiners, and the cod meat, which was full of color and flavor, was only cut off into a small corner.
Not being able to indulge diners is a failure for the chef. Junya Watanabe gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "...... Drizzled with Italian sauce, this dish is complete, please taste it!"
Ryoko Lina glanced at him indifferently and didn't speak.
Dojima Silver is also lacking interest.
Masato Kamihara coughed and said slowly, "Your cooking is very good, enough to pass the two-star rating." However, no matter how beautifully decorated and delicious your food is, it still lacks the essence of it. ”
"Maybe it won't be too difficult for you to become a five-star or six-star chef in the future, but if you want to move forward, you have to think carefully about what is missing in your cuisine. ”
Junya Watanabe left in despair, without the slightest joy of passing the assessment.
