Chapter 220: The Fried Toon Fish That Subverts Imagination
Eight minutes, Liu Kui only took eight minutes to finish making [Fragrant Bud Tofu]. The whole process of pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is fast and steady, and the movements are even more chic, which makes it hard to believe that Liu Kui, who has a rough and upright appearance, can actually make such a well-conceived dish.
One by one, the [fragrant bud tofu] was carefully placed on the crystal table, and after being lined up, the dark brown plate floated with soft and smooth white tofu slices, and there were green toon buds on top, just from the color matching, it gave people a fresh and refreshing and beautiful feeling.
The people sitting at the table smelled a fresh fragrance, and they couldn't wait to take a bite to soothe their aroused appetite.
Zhang Yishan, the great director who had been silent for a long time, looked at Mayor Chen on the left, and then at Fan Hanhan on the right, and four words popped out of his mouth: "Full of Zen." ”
After that, the three of them sighed in unison, no matter how good Mo Fei's [Toon Fish] is, can it still beat this wonderful [Fragrant Bud Tofu]? I'm afraid it's difficult!
At this time, everyone's attention finally shifted from Liu Kui to Mo Fei.
In the kitchen, Mo Fei blanched the toon, soaked it in cold water for a while, tested the oil temperature, and directly picked up a toon, dragged it through the batter, and sent it to the hot oil.
At first he was a little slow, but as time went on, he picked up the toon faster and faster, and the people outside looked simply dazzled.
After a while, a small pile of [toon fish] came out of the pot first, and after a little oil control, it was put into a small dish covered with straw paper.
Three minutes!
It only took three minutes for Mo Fei to fry all the toon fish, except for the first few that were discarded by him, and the rest were all placed on the plate, so that Chu Luo and Yu Xiaoyu served them on the table.
The whole process is bland, even a little bland, there is neither dazzling knife work, nor a strikingly taste, just plain and bland.
"Is this ready?" Zhang Yishan couldn't believe it, he thought he could appreciate Boss Mo's turnaround skills, but who knew that it was actually this result.
The disappointment was slowly spreading, from him to Mayor Chen next to him, to Yan Cuishan, and even Yu Xiaoyu, who had been superstitious about his own boss, was also infected.
On the other hand, the principals, who were the judges, seemed to be in high spirits, talking and laughing quietly, as if they had already decided the outcome of the competition.
Situ Ma cleared his throat, and his tone became much more solemn, "Now there are two minutes left before the end of the game, have you both finished the dishes?"
Mo and Liu both nodded, "It's done." ”
"Okay!
At his order, two dishes were sent to the judges, one was the artistic and Zen "Fragrant Bud Tofu", and the other was the slightly ordinary and plain "Toon Fish".
Zhu Ting looked at the two dishes in front of him, his nostrils snorted contemptuously, and before he could taste it, he ticked Liu Kui's name.
Not only him, but most of the judges present were like this, since they were in the same boat, they could only be in the same boat through thick and thin until the other side of the river.
After the checkmark, Zhu Ting picked up the soup spoon and scooped a small piece of tofu into his mouth, and the tofu dissolved and turned into a refreshing taste swirling in his mouth. The unique smell of toon is also released, wandering between the teeth and dancing on the tip of the tongue......
The most strange thing is the half spoonful of clear soup that arrives later, which is very mellow in the mouth, comforting the restless cells on the tongue caused by the hook of toon and tofu.
Suddenly, there was a "tsk" sound in the store, and there were people smacking the taste of [fragrant bud tofu], and some people praising Liu Kui's cooking skills.
A few toon buds and thin slices of tofu obviously couldn't satisfy the hungry stomachs of the judges, and after rinsing their mouths, they began to eat [toon fish].
One of the headmasters picked up a piece of it and was about to put it in his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and looked at the small saucer, only to see that there was not even a drop of oil stain on the piece of papyrus.
"This ...... This ......"
Zhu Ting noticed his abnormality and hurriedly asked, "Principal Li, what's wrong?"
The principal Li pointed to the straw paper and said, "There is no oil, this is too strange!"
Something fried in oil, not a drop of oil left, is beyond their daily experience. Not only the two of them, but the other principals also noticed this, and their eyes were full of shock and incredulity.
I thought it was an ordinary dish, but who knew that there was such a profound cooking skill hidden in the details, and the frivolity just now was long gone.
Re-examining the toon fish in the chopsticks, the more Principal Li looked at it, the more unfathomable he felt, so he simply put the toon fish back into the small saucer, and put it side by side with several other toon fish inside, it was the same length, and the color of the mask was not bad at all.
"Oh my God! What a knife work to cut the toon buds the same length in a short period of time! What's even more terrifying is that his grasp of temperature and time is almost to the point of perfection, so he can fry exactly the same toon fish!"
Thinking of this, Principal Li's hands trembled, and he laboriously picked up a toon fish and put it into his mouth almost reverently.
"Click!"
The light, crispy, refreshing and non-greasy dough is torn and covered with fresh ingredients that are just at the peak of their taste. It turns out that there is not only the only answer to taste the original taste of the ingredients, but also the proper heating can also sublimate the deliciousness.
Principal Li was a little suspicious of life, he crossed out the check mark just now in a trance, and seemed to have made up his mind to tick a check mark on Mo Fei's name, and he was afraid of being seen by others, so he quickly flipped over and pressed it under the palm of his hand.
It's not just Principal Li who doubts life, Yan Cuishan just finished eating a toon fish sent by Mo Fei, and the whole person has to fly, "Mo ...... Boss Mo, how the hell did you do that?!"
It's so loud that everyone in the store can hear it.
Before Mo Fei could answer, He Xuanxuan took over and said with a smile: "Senior nephew, what do you think of oil?"
Yan Cuishan was stunned and said: "Oil is oil, what else can it be regarded as?"
"Stupid!"
Hearing this evaluation, the principals who didn't understand the situation were dumbfounded, it was too rude for a girl to dare to slap an old man like this.
But Yan Cuishan, who was famous, didn't dare to refute, just laughed wryly, and was a little afraid.
"Actually, oil is also a kind of energy. He Xuanxuan explained: "The toon buds wrapped in the coat do not directly contact the oil, but achieve the effect of 'steaming' inside the coat. According to my observations, when the water vapor in the noodle evaporates, the temperature of the ingredients instantly rises from 100°C to 200°C, which is more akin to 'roasting', and the Maillard reaction adds to the aroma. ”
Steaming and roasting, without direct contact with hot oil, just using the heat transfer, this idea is a master!
Because of this, the fragrance of the toon can be maintained from being infected by hot oil.
However, in order to achieve this effect, it is necessary to determine the thickness of the dough, the temperature, time and duration of frying according to the characteristics, flavor, texture, and ideal doneness of the ingredients, and even the process of heating the ingredients in the dough after plating.
The principals present couldn't close their mouths when they thought of this, they could do this, they could still do this, and only the star masters could do it.
Liu Kui stood there dumbfounded, his head was wooden, his eyes were straight, but a voice in his heart told him, "You won't lose, you won't lose!"
