Chapter 821: Xia Yu's Cottage (II)

Coincidental?

If Xia Yu was here, he would definitely smile and say to Fan Jiaorou-

Ann, it's not a coincidence!

Originally, Fan Jiaorou's spice recipe made him very interested in the ancient material of "tempeh". Although he failed to figure out Fan Jiaorou's recipe thoroughly, with Xia Yu's spice skills, is it difficult to use the material "tempeh" to create a spice and medicinal diet recipe on the spot?

Not at all, right.

It just so happened that Mrs. Tang's words could be regarded as pointing out the direction for Xia Yu's creative ideas.

Mrs. Donald said that she had a bad appetite and had no appetite.

The three judges on the stage had difficulty in boosting their appetites? In the third round of the hunt, how many bad and mediocre works the judges had tasted in the past few days, their tongues and tastes had already been smashed wildly and exhausted, but they were not too obvious because of their work.

In fact, there is not much difference between food judges and yellow connoisseurs, they are both art connoisseurs, but let the veteran driver who reads tens of millions of films work at high intensity for a few days in a row, and then go home, is there still a treasure to open the hard disk in a leisurely manner?

So Xia Yu felt, well, it was necessary to let the judges on stage rebuild their majesty and find themselves.

When it comes to rebuilding the majesty and boosting the appetite, it is a coincidence that the "tempeh" that can be used for both food and medicine has the effect of eliminating food with the stomach.

In addition, the abundant aroma of tempeh acts on the food, like an aphrodisiac to seduce desires, which can greatly increase the appetite of the taster.

So around the "tempeh" material, Xia Yu naturally easily finalized the recipe for this round -

Tempeh sea bass!

More precisely, tempeh medicated sea bass!

Hey, here, Xia Yu really wants to say, don't fix the impression of "tempeh" on Lao Gan Ma, it's just the hot sauce that uses tempeh.

One by one, the yellow paper packets were uncovered.

"Ganwo, cinnamon, white cardamom. โ€

"Star anise, cloves, sannai. โ€

"The last two flavors are tempeh and green onion!"

Counting it carefully, there are 8 kinds of materials, if Fan Jiaorou hears Xia Yu's self-talk, she will definitely shout that Fan's daughter has been copied.

Uh, copycats?

In fact, the comparison between Xia Yu's self-created recipe for tempeh medicinal diet and Fan's only overlaps in the materials of "green onion white" and "tempeh", and the copycat statement is too exaggerated.

As for why you chose these 8 ingredients to combine with "tempeh......

Hush.

Eventually, the truth will come out, but not now.

Since it is a medicinal diet sea bass, it is necessary to have a medicinal diet method.

Xia Yu was not in a hurry to catch fish and slaughter them, but took out all the medicinal materials and put them on the kitchen counter, like an old Chinese medicine doctor in a pharmacy to take the appropriate amount of each medicinal material and mix it.

The amount of "tempeh" is the largest, and the whole package is used, and what needs to be paid special attention to in this step is the amount of sweet and cloves.

You know, Ganxiang is a kind of braised vegetables, spicy hot pot soup base often used in the spice, but also a Chinese herbal medicine, the smell is spicy, the taste is similar to turpentine, because the smell itself is too strong, the characteristics are prominent, generally each spice formula dosage is not more than 5 grams, otherwise it will cause the spice formula to be unbalanced.

The same is true for cloves, which have a strong fragrance, and even have a pungent taste when used too much, so the dosage is less, about 1 to 2 grams, and even half a gram of spice formula will collapse.

It took about 5 minutes to carefully balance the faint spice scale in my mind.

The golden and perfect cooking technique [spice inequality] is always quietly useful.

"That's it!"

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were slightly condensed, he put a medicine jar on the workbench, put it on the stove, poured water, and then put the selected medicinal materials into a plain gauze bag, the mouth of the bag tightened, and the whole cloth bag was thrown into the medicine jar.

Click!

Close the lid and start the fire.

This step, which falls on the shooting shot, is undoubtedly a decoction of medicinal soup!

At this point, Xia Yu was not in a hurry to slaughter the perch, he stood in front of the stove with his arms crossed, closed his eyes gently, and wandered outside.

Judging Stand.

Li Han and Wang Gong discussed.

"Do you want to decoction the medicinal soup first, and then boil the fish in the medicinal soup?"

"I don't think it's fish soup!"

Wei Qinglian, who was sitting on the main seat, was fluctuating in her heart.

Medicinal sea bass formed around tempeh?

She also knows in her heart that in the Chinese world, many spices are actually used for both medicine and food, and "tempeh" is one of the representatives.

Therefore, that kid's spice attainments can almost be perfectly equated with the level of medicinal food.

"Extending from the spice realm to the medicinal diet realm, his ability is simply invincible!" Wei Qinglian's eyes were filled with jealousy, and she herself felt a little scared, not to mention Ye Feizhou, who was regarded as a junior by her.

"If you can, Feizhou had better not fight with him, take the initiative to retreat, lie down for a few years, and have no hope of turning the tables!" Wei Qinglian sighed.

Before you know it, half an hour passes.

In the venue, bursts of fresh fragrance began to permeate, and the cooking process of the 100 teenagers and girls in the first audition, except for Xia Yu, was in full swing.

Because the hunters come from all over the country, it is foreseeable that the sea bass delicacies that will be presented in a while will surely gather eight major cuisines.

"Whew, Whew......"

Air currents are constantly coming out of the spout of the medicine jar.

Click, Xia Yu slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand, turning off the stove valve, "It's okay!"

He sniffed the smell of medicinal herbs near the kitchen counter and nodded, "The medicinal properties have been completely boiled out, then, proceed to the second step!"

Swish.

In a flash of light, one, two, three......

A total of 6 palm-sized perch were taken out by Xia Yu in the blink of an eye and placed on the cutting board.

The body structure of Songjiang perch is more special than ordinary perch, it is rumored that it has four gills, also known as four-gills perch, in fact, Xia Yu has just been free, and he has practiced slaughtering thousands of them in the kitchen god space, and found that this is not the case.

So, Xia Yu slaughtered the fish in the shot, with a wave of the knife, the scales of the 6 perch flew one after another, and with another wave, the fish was disemboweled, and the gills and internal organs were taken out.

"How often does he slaughter Matsue perch, so skilled!" exclaimed a young girl at the kitchen counter next door.

Xia Yu heard it, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

If there is a Fish Killing achievement, then he should have unlocked a 'Perch Butcher' achievement after practicing in space.

In the blink of an eye, the 6 perch were processed.

Next, it's pickling!

The salt jar poured out a puddle of refined salt on the palm of his hand, just like kneading facial cleanser, Xia Yu clasped his palms, and his movements suddenly became gentle, and then the kneaded refined salt was evenly spread on both sides of the fish's body, perhaps stinging by the salt, the perch that had been taken out of the internal organs was actually on the cutting board, opening the mouth of the fish wide, swallowing and wheezing.

Sprinkle with cooking wine and chopped ginger and marinate for 10 minutes.

Finally, take two clay pots, pour into each clay pot the medicinal soup that had been boiled for half an hour, add water to mix, and put 6 palm-sized sea bass in two clay pots.

"That's it!"

After another half an hour or so, Xia Yu glanced up at the timer in the field.

There is still about half an hour left before the end of the cooking session.

It's just that it is clear that the audition is coming to an end, and the judging table is still empty, and none of the contestants have submitted their works in advance.

What's going on?

Xia Yu turned off the stove valve, looked around, and the expression on his face suddenly became subtle.

Many of the contestants had stopped cooking, and there were containers of food in front of them, but they did not present them to the judges for tasting, but focused on Kitchen Table 1 with their eyes flashing, that is, staring at themselves......

"Is this what I mean to come first? Okay, good, if you go first, you will lose, and if you are waiting to see the situation, then I will serve the food first-"

The clay pot is placed on a tray.

Without a pause, Xia Yu stepped all the way to the judging table.

"Pleaseโ€”"

A tray rests steadily on the table, and the soup in the clay pot does not ripple at all, clear and calm.

Who knows, Xia Yu didn't wait for the judges to speak, he turned around neatly and handed another tray to Mrs. Tang's location.
