Chapter 355: The Bells
"The last 2 hours!"
Kitchen 2. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Asami Kamijo scratched her messy long hair and stood in front of the kitchen counter with dark circles under her eyes.
"Look—"
Hiroshi Akiyama leads the audience.
"Chef Kamijo seems to have created his own recipe for a special 'curry' in less than a day for the fantasy ingredient of 'Paradise Rice!'" he said, pointing to the kitchen counter.
In a pile of bottles and jars, there is curry rice served on delicate white jade plates.
However, when the camera gives a close-up of the curry powder, the audience's expressions become subtle.
Black!
Ebony jet black!
"Wow!" Yoshino covered her mouth, "I used to know only red, green, yellow, and white curries, but today I actually saw black curry!"
"Is it a curry with black pepper as the main ingredient?"
Most of the chefs are also contemplative.
In the examiner's seat, Indira's tense face eased slightly, staring at the curry powder in the picture, "Black curry powder...... cumin, black pepper, cloves, cardamom seeds...... Violently spicy curry that emphasizes 'spicy'?"
Hearing this, Hiroshi Akiyama and Masato Kamihara glanced at each other and immediately understood Asami's train of thought.
Shu Kitano used the "Bacchus onion" that contains the ultimate alcohol flavor to conquer the "Bliss Rice", which is a trick and a lever, but he himself pays too much attention to the ingredients and ignores other aspects, so he can't further integrate them.
If it's Asami Kamijo's black curry......
Suddenly, not only the three examiners in the examination seat, but also many chefs present also showed anticipation.
The preparation of curry powder is more skillful and experienced.
It's not purely dependent on the ingredients, but if you can conquer the "Bliss Rice", the fusion of the dishes will definitely be much higher than that of Kitano Shu's risotto, and it is not difficult to reach a good standard line.
……
The camera cuts from Kitchen 2 to Kitchen 3.
The head chef of this kitchen is Kiyoshi Nakajima.
"Huh!"
As soon as the picture turned, it was a stupid scene.
Click!
The down-and-out middle-aged uncle didn't know where to find the egg, which was the size of a plate, but he held it firmly in his hand, gently aimed at the edge of the kitchen counter and knocked it down, and the eggshell was suddenly full of cracks.
At the critical moment, when Nakajima Kiyoshi broke the egg, it fell into the glassware with 10 egg yolks in a row!
Seeing this, the guest seats have been rioting.
"Ten yolks!"
Ayaka Tamagawa was slightly surprised, "That loser also plans to incorporate a second fantasy ingredient into his cooking work?"
Then a hint of sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"It's too much!"
She asserted: "The "Dionysian Onion" that Kitano Shu is looking for is very reasonable, but the "Ten Yellow Eggs" does not have a strong alcohol flavor, let alone the so-called violent extreme flavor, how to conquer the "Paradise Rice"?"
Examination seats.
Under the guidance of Chiyo Aichi, Hiroshi Akiyama and Masato Kamihara are also not optimistic about Kiyoshi Nakajima's cuisine.
"I don't know what kind of dishes Chef Nakajima wants to present to us, but the taste of "Ten Yolk Eggs" is sweet, and it is a fantasy ingredient with a gentle nature and no manic power. ”
The examiner was equally unfavorable.
……
The camera continues to cut.
Kitchen No. 4's Kitano Show has already passed, while Chef Starry Night in Kitchen No. 5 has suffered a heart attack and is considered to have abstained.
In Kitchen 6, the chef is a balding middle-aged man.
He was short and very thin, and he was concentrating on the casserole on the stove, meticulous.
"Porridge?"
saw the dishes that the examiner was cooking through the camera, and at this moment, including the three examiners, they were all stunned.
"Two similar dishes in the same assessment?"
That's the thought that comes to everyone's minds.
Xia Yu didn't know that his cooking work and the examiner in Kitchen No. 6 accidentally collided, however, even if he knew, he wouldn't change his recipe.
This is the recipe he spent all night finalizing in the kitchen god space, but it is not a kind of boiled white rice porridge, otherwise it is not self-defeating.
Off camera.
"Lotus seeds, seeds, barley. ”
Find these three Chinese herbal ingredients at the kitchen counter.
Just looking at the appearance of the particles, these three materials are extremely similar.
"Lotus seeds, return to the spleen, kidneys, and heart meridians. Xia Yu whispered in his heart, "Seeds, return to the spleen and kidney meridians...... Barley, return to the spleen, stomach, lung meridians. ”
All three ingredients should be boiled in water until soft.
Especially the barley, it is difficult to cook thoroughly, fortunately, Xia Yu soaked the barley early, took it and lotus seeds, and cooked it in a rice cooker until it was soft and ripe.
So, when the camera turned around and returned to the No. 1 kitchen, everyone saw Xia Yu holding a large plate of granular white materials, pouring them all into the clay pot, and then holding the noodle stick and continuing to stir!
The cooking process is interlocking.
In Xia Yu's finalized recipe, only at this step, when hot water has just been added, the temperature in the clay pot has dropped, and the "Bliss Rice" has been soaked in water, can he find a gap to get other ingredients, and there is no room for mistakes.
If the rice grains are slightly burnt, then a hint of burnt smell falls on the full pot of dishes, which has a negative effect of rat droppings.
Finally, there is the crushed 'Poria cocos'.
This is also a very important herb in Xia Yu's recipe.
Little by little, time passed.
When the kitchen radio came out with a hint that there was only an hour left, Xia Yu finally took a long breath.
"Bang-"
The feeling that his right arm was so soft and numb that he was almost wasted, his heartstrings were loosened, and his strength couldn't be lifted, and the metal noodle stick fell to the ground, and Xia Yu didn't pick it, but looked down at the charcoal stove.
Before the fiery red stove, this will be dimmed.
Through the flame senses given to him by Burst of Fire, he can monitor the temperature of the furnace at all times.
The charcoal furnace has changed from a fiery red color that lasted for nearly 3 hours to an orange yellow color today, and the heat energy continues to decline.
This observation made Xia Yu happy in his heart.
Just the right use!
I didn't waste a single bit of charcoal, and the last 1 hour was simmered over low heat.
"There is still a shortage of key materials!"
However, when it comes to the dishes in his mind, there is still the final finishing touch.
Fortunately, the ingredients have been chopped and placed in the refrigerator to set aside.
This ingredient is very fragile and must only be put in when the porridge is about to be finished, it is still a little early, Xia Yu monitored the gradually decreasing temperature of the outer and inner walls of the clay pot, knowing that the porridge will not become mushy, so he leaned on the kitchen counter next to him and rested for a while.
An hour passed quickly.
The time came to 3 p.m.
"Bell!"
When 3 o'clock arrives, the doors of kitchens 1 to 6 open in the same second!
At the same time, the excited voice of the hostess Chiyo Aichi was also clearly transmitted from the dim passage outside the door from the scene of the hall:
"It's time—"
"Let's have Chef Natsu, Chef Kamijo, Chef Nakajima, and Chef Kawase, a total of four examiners!" (To be continued.) )
