Chapter 524: The White-Hot Semifinals (Part I)
Round 2 begins!
Instead of opening the ingredient box immediately, Dojima set up two pans on the stove. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then, he scooped up a lot of russet paste condiment from a sealed jar, put it in a clear glass bowl, and when one of the pans was heated, Dojima Gin poured a bowl full of paste into the pot.
"Oh-"
Chiyo Aichi walked into the kitchen and sniffed the salty umami that came to his nose, and he felt like soy sauce.
The judges began to explain.
The middle-aged man in a kimono at the fourth seat said, "This is miso, which is made from fermented soybeans and is mainly in the form of a paste. Chef Dojima uses red miso, which takes a long time to ferment and adds more salt during the preparation process, so it is saltier than white miso. ”
Miso?
Many exotic audiences and chefs were thoughtful.
"Actually, miso is very similar to tempeh and soybean paste, and there is a theory that miso was originally brought to Dongying by the Tang Dynasty monk Dongdu!" laughs one Chinese chef.
Xia Yu pressed his chin against it.
Miso is the most popular and most common condiment for the people of Toei.
Then, Dojima Gin's dishes are bound to be Japanese-style.
"What is Chief Dojima going to do?"
There was a murmur from the side.
Erina Nagikiri clenched her hands on her plaid skirt, and she sat not far from Xia Yu, her eyebrows huddled into a worried look.
"Just wait for the chief to show off his main ingredients!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
Hearing the sound and glancing at it, Erina's long eyelashes trembled.
Deep down, she hoped that Dojima Silver would win this victory for the Enzuki team, so that in the third round, "Shura" will play in Ichiro, and Enzuki is very likely to crush the Orlando team with a score of 3-0!
However, for some reason, Erina was faintly uneasy.
After all, the Yuanyue team won, and according to the public agreement in the eight-in-four competition a few days ago, Lecturer Xia and her father's halberd was officially established......
Heart's voice tells Erina that she really doesn't want the lecturer to lose, not her blood father!
Erina is entangled, and the game is going on normally.
Dojima continued to add condiments such as sake, mirin, cane sugar, and sesame oil to the pan.
Later, Dojima simply broke another egg, leaving only the yolk between his fingers, and the egg white flowed into the bowl through his fingers, and he put the egg yolk into the previous seasoning, and several seasonings were mixed in the sake and boiled over a high fire.
It's typical to make the sauce first!
Soon, when the sauce boiled and thickened, the fire could be stopped, and Dojima set the sauce aside and cooked the round radish cubes in another pan.
I don't know when he cut the radish, and the radish pieces are stewed in a pot with water, and the color is even more crystal clear.
But said that the 'lion king' Leon is on his side, and the progress is not lagging behind at all.
The ingredients he used were very complex, in addition to the 'puffer fish whale meat' that attracted the attention of the audience, there were also a variety of fresh ingredients-
Syllable!
A deep-sea monkfish, was thrown on the cutting board by Leon, he held a knife, dissected the monkfish, this deep-sea fish meat is concentrated on the tail, so Leon only took the tail part of the meat.
The second ingredient is tiger prawns, which are huge and markinged!
This kind of shrimp is the size of a palm, and Leon used small silver scissors to cut all the way along the back shell of the tiger prawn.
The boned squid has its eyes cut off and set aside.
The lobster splits in the middle and splits in two, don't look at Leone's rough appearance with braids, but his cooking style is extremely delicate and comprehensive, he carefully takes out the lobster paste for later use, and will use it to make the red lobster sauce.
"Boom"
Leon boiled the first sauce.
"Onions, sea salt, white pepper, white wine, tarrigan herbs......" The judging chair came out of the explanation, and the French judge said slowly, "Taligan vanilla, also known as tarragon, 'French tarragon' is the best of this condiment, often used to remove the fishy smell of delicate meat, which is very suitable for seafood cooking!"
"Of course, there are other uses for tarragon...... Like making perfumes!"
The audience is immersed and listens attentively.
At this time, Leon set up a second sauce pot on the stove, put in a lot of butter cubes to melt, and only took the top layer of "clear butter".
"It was just the first sauce!"
The French judge frowned, watched Leon fetch the blender, mix the onion, spinach, mint leaves, pepper with the plain yogurt, and soon the second green sauce was baked.
The third sauce is boiled with lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil, and the other is boiled in a small pot with whipped cream and sea salt and cinnamon.
After the complex sauce making process, the seafood is cooked.
Leon's cooking is the same as his style of making sauces, which is cumbersome, delicate, and full of flowers, which is dazzling to watch.
Before you know it, 2 hours passed.
"There are only ten minutes left until the end of cooking...... Chiyo Aichi reminds.
Standing in front of the kitchen counter with his arms crossed, Dojima Silver suddenly opened his eyes.
"It's time to get out of the pot!"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a raging white mist gushed out of the pot in front of him, and the fragrance of wine instantly spread outward.
In the mist, Dojima reached out his chopsticks and picked up five palm-sized oysters as white as snow lotus, carefully placed them on the plate, poured the previous boiled miso sauce, and sprinkled some finely chopped yuzu peels, and a delicious seafood dish was served to the judges.
Smelling the aroma of wine and seafood coming out of the dishes, many viewers were intoxicated.
"Whew-"
Suddenly, the sound of flames burning.
Leon also served the dishes and walked towards the judges' table.
In his hand, it is a king-size dinner plate that matches the body type, no, it should be called a ceramic basin, this is not a dinner plate at all, but a flower pot, the basin contains many small stones, and the seafood, which has been charcoal-grilled, is placed on the surface of the basin, and there are charcoal-grilled lobsters, charcoal-grilled tiger prawns, charcoal-grilled scallops, and charcoal-grilled monkfish......
The white, green, and red sauces were scattered among them, perhaps with burning whiskey sprinkled on charcoal-grilled seafood, and Leon put a burning bowl on the judges' table, so dazzling and eye-catching!
"Gollum~"
The sound of swallowing saliva.
All eyes are fixed on the basin, and a small white dish surrounded by many seafood stars is the 'puffer whale meat' that has been slightly grilled with faint golden traces.
"This is my dish, Bawang seafood fight!"
The dreadlocked Danish chef let out a hearty laugh.
Compared to the flowery array of 'Overlord Seafood Fight', Dojima Gin's seafood dishes are plain and bland, regardless of the ingredients and plating, even the miso sauce is boiled in sake, giving people a strong Japanese style.
"Dojima, is this your recipe?" Leon looked over, "Lily oysters?"
He recognized the main ingredient used by Dojima Gin, the 'Lily Oyster' was also a fantasy ingredient, but it was not at the taboo level, so it was not a threat.
Seeing this, Leon was reassured.
He has an infinite advantage in ingredients!
"Clear your mouth first, then take a heavy mouth, and you can try my dish first-" Dojima said with a smile, and he saw the judges' hesitation and took the initiative to give the judges a step.
"It's good!"
The French judge picked up his chopsticks and stared carefully at the dishes on the plate, on which the white carrots were arranged.
"Oysters......"
Whispering, the judges put down their chopsticks in turn, picked up the oysters boiled in clean water, brought them to their mouths, and took a light bite, poof, and the warm juice with a rich aroma of wine immediately filled the mouth.
Supple!
The 'lily oyster' is the ultimate in softness and taste, and as the juice bursts out, the judges grind the oyster meat in their mouths with their teeth, and their expressions change several times, "It's wonderful!"
"One shot into the soul!"
The stunned judges looked like statues, and after a while, the five of them returned to their souls together, but the chopsticks were empty, and a whole piece of oyster meat had disappeared.
"That, please comment!"
Chiyo Aichi weakly reminded.
This time, the chief judge didn't pay attention to the hostess.
"How can I say it......"
"It's a very common technique, and in terms of materials, it's just a little special 'Lily Oyster', but it can hit us in the heart with one punch!" Melissa rubbed her chest and frowned in distress.
"It's hard to rate!"
The rest of the judges agreed.
Seeing this scene, the 'Lion King' Leon glanced at Dojima Silver, who had always remained calm and unchanged, snorted coldly in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Then skip the review link and try my 'Overlord Seafood Fight'!"
"No problem......"
The judges responded.
Melissa grabbed a charcoal-grilled scallop drizzled with red sauce, and without using chopsticks, picked up the scallop meat and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it expressionlessly.
"It doesn't taste enough!"
She grabbed another charcoal-grilled tiger prawn, peeled off the shell, and took a bite of it, her red lips stained with the sauce.
"Ahhhh
After eating a tiger prawn, the French female judge continued to be paralyzed, and she said angrily, "What's the matter, it's obviously delicious, it tastes good, there is nothing to find fault with, but there is no feeling of being in the soul!"
The other judges performed similarly.
"They can't touch me!"
North American cowboy Noyce threw away the lobster shell in his hand, rubbed his chest and wrinkled his face: "My heart seems to be imposed...... shackles and imprisons."
"It's not the taste I want!"
The Persian female judge was even more disappointed.
Seeing this, the audience had already lost its voice.
Far Moon Team Backstage.
Ichiro Caiba said unhurriedly: "This is the application of the classic of 'food righteousness'. ”
He glanced at Xia Yu, who was groaning against his chin.
"The dishes of Dojima touched the judges a lot, well, how to put it, it is like the original taste, although it is plain, it can go directly into the depths of the hearts of diners and build a defensive fortress. ”
"And the ingredients controlled by the 'food tyrant', unless they can directly blast through this layer of defense, that is, to reach the extreme in the taste of the ingredients, and use violence to open the door of the soul, otherwise it will ......"
Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Ichiro Caiba's mouth.
Xia Yu's eyes flickered and stared at the broadcast screen.
"The key is the meat of the puffer whale......"
And the crowd looked at it again.
in the picture.
'Lion King' Leon didn't panic because of the judges' performance, and said with a slightly calm face: "Taste it, and then taste the delicious taste of my 'Overlord Seafood Fight'!"
He pointed to the 'puffer whale meat', which was surrounded by seafood stars and moons.
So, the judges put down their chopsticks again.
Bang!
The slightly grilled white tender meat is filled with the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground.
