Chapter 652: Pancake Fruit!
In the competition, Ang Lee seemed to be free and natural, he didn't care about the eyes of some gourmets from time to time, and he was full of interest in boiling water and noodles.
In Ang Lee's team, He Guozhang, who is in charge of the main dish, is making a dish called pot wrapped meat, also known as pot fried meat, which is a northeast dish.
However, since He Guozhang was just processing the ingredients and was slicing the pork loin into the flavor and marinating, Li Ang estimated that it would take at least half an hour for this dish to be really made. Of course, this is done according to the standard of excellence, and when I usually go to the restaurant to eat, the chef of the hotel will only take more than ten minutes to twenty minutes to do this.
He Guozhang made a pot of fried meat, and Ji Hongchang now decided to make a soup dish called, gastrodia fish head soup, this dish Li An has heard of, it can be said that Ji Hongchang is a better dish, Li An has heard more than once that people have praised Ji Hongchang's dish.
This gastrodia fish head soup is a traditional Han dish in Guangdong, belonging to the Cantonese cuisine, the soup is said to be thick, fresh but not fishy, very delicious. It's just a pity that Ang Lee hasn't drunk this kind of food, but it's also very good to see Ji Hongchang's on-site cooking now, maybe after the competition, you can still have a taste of this traditional food!
While making a conversation on Li An's side, while thinking about rubbing Lao Ji two mouthfuls of Tianma fish head soup later, Li An suddenly felt a smell of charcoal burning next to him, and Li An subconsciously looked to the side.
I saw that Fang Dachuan, who was not far from Li An, had already set up a barbecue grill and was now lighting a fire. Seeing Li An look over, Fang Dachuan pouted at Li An and motioned for Li An to come over and speak. Li An happened to be making noodles here, so he didn't have to be too anxious to make the staple food first, and if his staple food was made too early, when the game was over, it would not taste good when it was cold, and it would easily affect the taste.
Therefore, when Li An saw Fang Dachuan shouting to himself, he stopped what he was doing, washed his hands, dried them and walked over.
"What's wrong?" asked Li An looking at Fang Dachuan who was fiddling with the barbecue grill.
"Come and help me take a hand!" Fang Dachuan gave Li An a place, holding charcoal in his hand and lighting a fire.
Li An knew that Fang Dachuan's side dish was roasted oysters, and there were a lot of seafood in the ingredient box, so he could also choose a little bit appropriately and roast it as an side dish. Moreover, the seafood provided by these competitors is very fresh, and it is made of charcoal, and its taste is delicious and attractive, far from the charcoal-grilled seafood on the barbecue stalls on the street.
And baking, it takes a lot of effort and energy, this time it is a global food competition, it can't be ignored a little, in terms of taste and texture, we must strive for excellence, no wonder Fang Dachuan called Li An to come over to help him.
However, during the time that Ang Lee was helping Fang Dachuan, he was also thinking about what kind of staple food he wanted to make, so that he could be a good match with He Guozhang's pot fried pork, Ji Hongchang's gastrodia fish head soup, and Fang Dachuan's roasted oysters, ordinary pasta, or rice seemed to be just the golden mean for this series of food pairings, not the most outstanding and suitable choice.
Since the dishes of He Guozhang, Ji Hongchang, and Fang Dachuan are so national, he must not choose too moderate staple foods. In addition, Ang Lee is also participating in the global food competition for the first time, and he is not very clear about the depth and rules of the global food competition for the first time.
Therefore, his staple food must be able to carry on with the food of He Guozhang and Ji Hongchang, and show his unique charm. In this way, even if the other food scores are not enough, his staple dish can become a plus and have a surprise effect.
In fact, compared with the staple food of bread in foreign countries, Ang Lee has more traditional Chinese staple foods that he can choose to make, at least he is not as overstretched as those chefs who are making bread as the staple food, and will only make a fuss about bread.
It's just that although Li An has a plan in his heart, Li An still hasn't exactly thought about what staple food to make now.
Li An is helping Fang Dachuan here, because the age gap between Li An and Fang Dachuan is not big, only five or six years old, the two of them can be regarded as more able to speak in this team. While Fang Dachuan was cleaning up the seafood ingredients that needed to be baked, he asked Li An, who was controlling the charcoal fire:
"Ang Li, you haven't told us yet, what staple food are you going to make? The combination of our cuisine, making steamed buns, or rice, is a little unsuitable, Lao Ji also makes his best gastrodia fish head soup there, if you want to eat the next noodles for foreigners, it is not suitable." I've been thinking about it for a while, but I haven't figured out what staple food you're going to make, you see you're all reconciled, give me a bottom?"
Fang Dachuan is still looking forward to the staple food that Li Ang wants to make, because Li Anke has the talent of a chef, that is to say, like He Guozhang, among the five of them, he has the qualification to cook the most important main dish.
Therefore, Fang Dachuan is still looking forward to the staple food that Ang Lee wants to do. Li An's cooking is so good, and it is definitely not bad for the staple food.
"To be honest, I really haven't figured out what the staple food is going to go with your dishes. Don't worry, there's still more than an hour to go, and it's not too late for me to help you get it here. Li An looked at the countdown time on the big screen on the stage, and found that it was still early, and he could now help Fang Dachuan while thinking about what staple food to make.
And at this moment, Fang Dachuan probably felt that it was a little boring just to cook like this, and he unconsciously hummed a little song.
“%…………*&&*&(&…… ¥%&(&(*)&*&*…… )”
Li An listened to Fang Dachuan's humming tune, and glanced up at Fang Dachuan, who was still busy cleaning up the seafood, probably humming it unconsciously.
Seeing this, Li An also lowered his head and was busy with his own affairs, he was a little curious, but he didn't care too much, he didn't expect Fang Dachuan to like this kind of hip-hop thing.
However, Li An listened for a while, and suddenly felt that Fang Dachuan was more familiar, but he had a feeling that he couldn't say his name.
It wasn't until Ang Lee listened carefully and patiently to the end that he realized why there was such a part of this humming that made Ang Lee feel so familiar, and the small part of the music that Fang Dachuan hummed almost coincided with the fragments in Ang Lee's memory turned out to be this one.
"Roar~!Roar~!Chek trouble!"
"Roar~!Roar~!Chek trouble!"
When Ang Lee heard this extremely popular joke in his world, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of what he could do!
This song gave him a great reminder!
"Roar~!Roar~!Chek Trouble!Pancake Fruit Set!"
After Li An had an idea in his heart, after helping Fang Dachuan make a fire and clean up the seafood, Li An came to his kitchen stove again, but Li An is different from just now, Li An now has a very clear goal!
The food he wants to cook today is the pancake fruit that is extremely popular in their country!
Thinking of this, Li Ang first closed his eyes a little and thought carefully for a while, the specific production process of pancake fruit. Then, he boiled the water again, took out the flour, and after getting ready, he took the tenderloin that He Guozhang had used up, and cut it into thin slices with a knife, which was similar in size to the tenderloin of the pancake fruit he usually ate, but the thickness, Ang Lee's one was slightly thicker. After all, Ang Lee is competing, not doing business, so he doesn't need to be too calculating and saving.
In addition, the resulting pancakes will have a more meaty texture, and they will taste full of meat.
After marinating the sliced tenderloin in a small glass basin, Ang Lee took out some fresh lettuce, washed it, and set it aside for later use. Ang Lee's cut tenderloin needs to be marinated for 10 minutes before it can be fully flavored, and when the time comes, coupled with the blessing of his culinary spirit and the characteristic charm of this traditional Chinese cuisine, Ang Lee can be sure that his staple food, which is despised by all foreign gourmets, will definitely have unexpected gains, and maybe it is possible to surpass the main dishes made by chefs from some countries.
Ang Lee is full of confidence in his cooking spirit and their traditional Chinese cuisine!
Ten minutes later, Ang Lee had all the ingredients for making pancakes and fruits, and the tools were ready, so Ang Lee turned on the stove, waited for the pan to be hot, poured oil, and began his cooking.
However, during the time when Ang Lee was cooking, not many foreign gourmets still paid attention to Ang Lee, and most people lost their previous vigilance and eagerness for Ang Lee.
What threat can a rookie foodie who wanders around and only serves as a staple food pose to them?
originally thought that Ang Lee would be the killer feature of their Huaguo food group, but now that they look at it, these foreign gourmets feel that Ang Lee has come to experience and rise to the world. In a word, it is not a problem!
Those foreign gourmets can not pay attention to Ang Lee, and those foreign media can not call Ang Lee for the live broadcast. However, their Chinese reporters have to shoot the details of their Chinese gourmets team throughout the game, and the shots of other country's gourmets are all foils, so they just need to take care of it.
However, now these reporters in Huaguo have given the camera to He Guozhang and Li An. However, they are at a loss for Ang Lee to run to do the simplest and least value-embodying thing, and it can even be said that they are also confused about doing dispensable staple food.
Originally, this group of reporters hoped that Ang Lee could make a big move, turn the tide, and bring their Chinese gourmet team to the semifinals, and also let reporters from other countries have nothing to say, so that they could take advantage of this to vent the evil anger that was pressed in their hearts.
But now it seems that the ideas they had before the game were extravagant expectations. With their knowledge of Ang Lee's cooking skills, Ang Lee may be able to fulfill their wish and advance to the semi-finals, which will also make them proud in front of foreign journalists. But Li An just ran to make staple food, doing this kind of minimum work that has no value and is difficult to affect the overall situation.
This really doesn't leave a little hope!
In the live broadcast footage, there are two professional reporters who don't know how to explain this food competition, and the atmosphere of these two reporters is a little dull, obviously believing that this competition is a foregone conclusion, and Ang Lee has no hope of winning.
However, the reporter in the live TV broadcast does not comment, and the audience in front of the TV can clearly see the live broadcast picture in the TV set. After all, commentary has nothing to do with live streaming.
In front of the TV, some attentive netizens suddenly felt familiar when they saw the ingredients placed in front of Ang Lee, as if they had seen similar furnishings somewhere.
There is a good saying that there is power in numbers. Soon, some netizens found out on Weibo what kind of ingredients are used in the food in front of Ang Lee.
"Why are the things on Ang Lee's kitchen table so familiar? How do I feel that Ang Lee is making pancakes and fruits?" said a netizen first.
Then, there was a huge discussion on Weibo.
"Damn! Don't say it! This really looks like making pancakes! I said how do you look so familiar!"
"Oh my God! Ang Lee is going to make pancakes and fruits at the Global Food Competition? This is just blinding! Do you want to be so surprised? Do you want to be so surprised? I said that Ang Lee can't just run to make the staple food so simply, it turns out that Ang Lee is going to do something! I always feel that there is an indescribable weirdness in the style of making pancakes and fruits in the Global Food Competition... ”
Of course, some people are surprised and some are worried!
On Weibo, all netizens have guessed that Ang Lee is going to make pancakes and fruits, an authentic Chinese staple food, and many people roll their eyes. Some people are very unoptimistic about Ang Lee's venture to choose pancakes and fruits as the staple food at the Global Food Competition.
In previous global food competitions, bread is the most common staple food, and in foreign countries, bread can be said to be the most important staple food, equivalent to steamed buns and rice in China. On several occasions, in order to achieve good results, their Chinese gourmets even catered to the tastes of foreigners and used bread as the staple food of the competition, but in the end, the results were dismal and they did not advance to the semi-finals.
The most serious problem at the moment is that their Chinese gourmets have tried to use bread as a staple food, and they have failed to advance to the semi-finals. You specially made a foreigner who has never eaten it at all, and the pancake fruit that you have never seen before is the staple food, can the judges of the foreign jury buy it?
It is very likely that the other gourmets of their Chinese food group have passed the invitation to the semi-finals, but they will miss out on the semi-finals because of this staple dish!
Many people thought of it with a heavy heart when they saw Ang Lee's impulsive move.
