Chapter 842: Phoenix Crystal (II)
"That's my dish, please try it. β
Ye Feizhou said.
The judges were appreciative.
Lan Fengxian applauded first: "To be honest, I've been watching you weave with bean sprouts, and the technique can be described as meticulous!"
"Ordinary people may not understand the difficulty of weaving dishes with bean sprouts, bean sprouts, which are themselves the sprouts of soybean ingredients, and the fresh and crisp taste is very prominent. In my limited memory, the original version of the dish "Phoenix Crystal" was woven with blanched bean sprouts, but you added the "silk drawing" technique to reform the cooking process......"
The dragon chef paused for a moment and said with great interest: "I'm afraid, in addition to making the 'fresh' part more prominent, it also makes the bean sprouts incredibly flexible, so you can present such a classic dish that takes a lot of effort in just two hours." β
He immediately recognized it as "Phoenix Crystal" and pointed out the uniqueness.
Ye Feizhou is still gentle and elegant.
"Yes, the improvement of "silk drawing" has taken the ancient recipe to the next level. He replied.
"Just ...... Water"
The second dragon chef asked, it was the sage Karl, and he said in Chinese with a stiff accent, "Is it necessary to draw silk?"
But it was Wei Qinglian who answered.
"That kind of water, called 'cold water', is a specialty of our Baiyulou, drawn from an ancient deep well, and the characteristics of water are just as you can see with your eyes, except for the cold, it is to give the ingredients a malleability beyond common sense. β
Hearing this, the big guy of IGO immediately lit up.
It can only be said that the Chinese world in the past is too mysterious to the outside world, and Sage Carl, as one of the three presidents of IGO, is also the first time to set foot in the ancient land, and it is the first time to hear of cold water or something.
"Taste it!"
The faucet, who is in the center and serves as the main judge, spoke lightly.
He took the lead in picking up a pair of chopsticks, and when the others saw this, they also followed him one after another, and put down the chopsticks to the phoenix standing proudly on the white ceramic plate.
The dragon's head chopsticks stretched out to the wings of the phoenix, and gently clamped a few sugar-coated bean sprouts, and it seemed that it didn't take much strength to pull out the gorgeous feathers from the phoenix's body and send them into the mouth.
"Ka ......"
Exceptionally crisp texture.
"Not bad!" The dragon head opened Chrysostom and gave a bland evaluation, which made Ye Feizhou's eyes pleasantly surprised.
"Thank you, teacher, for your affirmation!"
He hurriedly bowed.
The rest of the judges are also eating, clicking, clicking.
First, a layer of icing is sent into the mouth, and when the teeth are pressed down, the icing breaks.
Then, a trace of cold air leaked out, and it suddenly penetrated into the mouth, which seemed to be just a trace, but it made people shiver and feel cold from the head of ice water.
Of course, the mouth is frozen.
But the air-conditioning leakage, along with it, is the vegetable juice that comes out after the teeth bite through the bean sprouts!
Bean sprouts are originally with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and are called the vegetarian umami tribal, and a 'fresh' style is invincible in the world among the ingredients of vegetables and fruits.
As a result, the bean sprouts that vent the taste of umami in the mouth form a fire.
The smell of burning umami!
Sage Karl's eyes couldn't stop expanding, and his pupils were full of shock, "Thisβthis is the umami power that saved me!" He broke away from the frozen state and regained his vitality.
In terms of ingredients, the original "Phoenix Crystal" seems to use bean sprouts, is it "bland"?
And Ye Feizhou's "Phoenix Crystal", on the basis of the original, added the step of "pulling silk".
So, when the cooling and congealed icing is broken in the mouth, the faint sweetness is mixed with the freshness of the bean sprouts themselves, what will become of the situation?
Indescribable thrills!
Wei Qinglian and the fifth judge of Lin Kitchen, who played soy sauce, all twitched.
"Sweet and fresh...... It was passed on to all four limbs!"
"What's the matter with that light cold breath? Hmm, the flavor is so unique, it can run down my mouth and drill around my body, no, no, not at all, it's so comfortable! I want to take another bite!"
The joy of the judges, the style of painting, is like the cold winter, when vegetables are scarce, bean sprouts become the only crisp savior.
And that's exactly what happened.
The cold, first scraping over the diners, washed away the excess color and turned the canvas pale.
And then the sprouts on a pale canvas, aren't they dazzling?
Of course.
The bean sprouts were dipped in sugar juice, and a few drops were sprinkled on the canvas at will, and when the dull color of sugar gradually rendered, boom-
The food scene unfolded, and what the judges saw was a dancing phoenix.
Obviously the whole body is bathed in flames.
Obviously, the body is so agile and light.
However, why is the phoenix's elegant figure always detached and looming?
"I can't see clearly!"
Cal Sage whispered in his mouth, and the chopsticks plucked a bunch of bean sprouts from the phoenix's body and put them into his mouth to chew.
It's still the same scene, the phoenix is always at a distance of touch, flying lightly, Cal Sage looks at the shadow of the phoenix, his heart is full of unwillingness, chopsticks rise and fall vegetables, the frequency is amazing.
It's not just Karl Sage who is being manipulated by such desires.
Except for the unaffected faucet, which slowly tastes the unaffected faucet with chopsticks, the remaining four judges are all incarnated as hungry travelers.
Soon.
The phoenix is gone, and the judging table is left with only an empty plate.
Not a single tail feather was left, and it was clean.
After a long while, Sage Carl exhaled a long breath, expelled the phoenix shadow lingering in his mind, took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth carefully, looked up at Ye Feizhou, and said complexly: "Sugar, water and bean sprouts can actually create such an elegant taste!"
He admired.
"Why?"
But the voice turned muffled.
"I don't want to ask about your 'food'!"
"I just want to know why the combination of simple and extremely plain ingredients can have such an elegant taste!"
Ye Feizhou was slightly stunned, and then showed a refreshing smile:
"Because, that's the original taste of bean sprouts. β
The camera focused on this five-time king and disciple of the Heavenly King, except for Xia Yu, who was busy with his head bowed, I am afraid that everyone was staring at him with bated breath.
"Isn't it incredible?" Ye Feizhou said softly, the speed of his speech gave people a sense of calmness without hurrying or slowing, "As we all know, the part that makes bean sprouts have a slight muddy smell and affects the taste is its buds and roots!"
"Therefore, the bean sprouts I use here have been rooted one by one, and the root and whiskers of the head and tail have been pinched off, and they have become a thin stick, like Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, so it has the nickname of 'Ruyi Cuisine'. And the 'wishful dishes' that have been processed in this way have been reborn, and they don't need extra green leaves to set off at all, and they have an elegant taste. β
"And ......"
Ye Feizhou smiled and said: "Just as Sage Carl said just now, my "Phoenix Crystal" is by no means a solo of 'Ruyi Dish', he has a combination of cold water and sugar juice, and the combination of the three is ......."
"A real ice crystal phoenix!"
The Dragon Gate Pavilion fell into a long dead silence.
In the guest room, Yan Qi sighed and said complicatedly: "He has already explained it in a brief way, but that elegance is really just the original taste of 'Ruyi Dish'? β
Xia Qing said in a deep voice: "Let's start with "silk drawing", this technique is also called wire drawing, which originated in Qilu and is a cooking technique with a wide influence on Lu cuisine, mainly using white sugar, and sugar, in cooking, can increase the umami of dishes. β
"Brother Yan, you saw it earlier, Ye Feizhou is 'fried sugar in water', not 'fried sugar in oil', I think the sugar juice is mixed with cold water, and the effect of increasing umami itself is only afraid that it will be doubled!"
Yan Qi nodded when he heard this, "Yes, 'water fried sugar'!"
The conversation ended here, and the two fell silent.
"Bell!"
Soon, a bell that announced the end of the cooking session finally broke the dead silence.
