Chapter 437: American and Chinese Barbecue (Part II)
After about half an hour of continuous baking, the skin finally became golden and crispy. During this period www.biquge.info Liu Mang kept brushing the oil on it to prevent the fish skin from turning due to excessive baking.
In order to get closer to the tastes of these two American foodies, Liu Mang also specially roasted peeled potatoes and cherry tomatoes on the grill, ready to be used as side dishes.
"Ruonan, the grilled fish is ready, help me get a plate. Liu Mang took a steak knife and said.
The roasted tomatoes and potatoes were placed on the table before Liu Mang moved the fish from the grill to a large metal baking dish.
This time, Liu Mang did not use the Chinese style of plating, but used the commonly used Western food plating, and used the color of the food itself to create a pleasing effect.
Red tomatoes, yellow potatoes, green basil leaves and mint, and grilled fish with golden skin and fish aroma are unforgettable.
"Handsome guy, you can eat it now. Jones sat on the table, looking at the grilled fish in front of him, and couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Of course, you can enjoy it slowly. Liu Mang smiled slightly, picked up a knife and cut it from the middle of the grass carp.
The skin of the fish locks in the flavor of the filling, and it slowly brews under the charcoal fire, waiting to bloom at this moment.
Liu Mang divided the grass carp into large pieces like steak and sent them to the plates of the three of them.
Jones's eyes lit up as he looked at the grilled fish on the plate with golden skin and juice oozing out of the filling.
With a knife lightly everything, it is easy to cut off a piece and then use a fork to feed it into the mouth.
"Hmm...... Hmmm......" Jones muttered as he munched on the grilled fish.
The fish is very tender and has a much better taste than steak and pork chops. And when mixed with chopped vegetables, the taste level is also richer. As soon as you bite into it, the juice splashes everywhere, which is wonderful.
What's even more special is that compared to the tender fish, the outer layer of fish skin has a completely different taste.
The first sensation in the mouth is crispy and fragrant. Crispiness is the effect of the fish skin being roasted over a charcoal fire to dry the outer layer of moisture. The aroma includes black pepper, basil leaves and a hint of smoke.
Then bite again, and the crispy immediately turns into a bullet, which comes from the texture of the fish skin itself. Finally, when the teeth are chewed thoroughly, the gelatinous texture of the fish skin melts in the mouth, and with the tender and juicy fish, the taste buds are cheering.
"It's delicious!" Jones couldn't help but exclaim: "Such a delicacy must only be made by a chef!"
"Jones, the one standing in front of you is a kitchen god. Li Ruonan swallowed a piece of fish meat and squeezed his eyes: "Liu Mang is not only the Chinese kitchen god, I believe that in the near future, he can also become the world's kitchen god!"
"Cheers, Mr. Chef!" Gu Wei raised his glass, "If this fish practice can be promoted to the whole of the United States, I believe that the American people will definitely fall in love with the Asian carp!"
"yes, we can talk about cooperation now. Jones nodded: "Mr. Liu Mang, can this dish be mass-produced?"
"Mass production?"
"It means that we can let the factory produce it and make it into a semi-finished product. Li Ruonan explained.
"It should work. Liu Mang thought for a moment: "I have also thought about this problem, some dishes can indeed be produced by the factory." For example, this fish ball and grilled fish now. It can be made into vacuum packaging, and diners only need to heat it themselves when they buy it, just like ham sausage. ”
"Then no problem!" Jones snapped his fingers excitedly, "I'm in charge of getting those government officials to get the biggest grant, and you're in charge of developing the dish to make it more to Americans' tastes." When everything is ready, you can open the factory. ”
"No problem. ”
Everyone ate and talked and finalized the details of the next cooperation. After waiting for a while, Liu Mang's phone rang, he picked it up and answered it, and his brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" asked Li Ruonan.
"Something's wrong, we're going to rush back right away. ”
"What's the matter?"
President Tan got the news that the Koreans had also sent a delegation to New York to prepare for the dumplings. ”
"What?" Li Ruonan looked angry: "These Koreans are too shameless, didn't they learn a lesson from the failure last time?"
"Didn't the Koreans lose last time? The name of the world's first dumpling does not belong to them, this is their own admission, there is a video at the time to testify, this can't be faked, right?" Jones was surprised.
"We underestimated the shamelessness of these Koreans, and this time it was not only dumplings, but also Lantern Festival, noodles, and zongzi, all of which were treated as a Korean noodle series, ready to be submitted to UNESCO for World Heritage Status. ”
Liu Mang is worried, if the Koreans really succeed, let alone Chinese chefs, even the Chinese people will scold again.
"Liu Mang, don't worry, these things such as Lantern Festival and noodles were invented by the Chinese, and they are not so easy to succeed. Jones said.
"Miss Jones, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, you must send us back at once. ”
"No problem, I'll take you to the airport right away, and you can take Mr. Carnell's private jet to New York. ”
"That would be great. ”
……
Liu Mang and Li Ruonan returned to Huaxia Tower at about seven o'clock in the evening.
In a box in the Huaxia Building, the chefs who came to the United States this time were all present, and even Lin Xiao rushed back.
"That's it. Tan Shi picked up the tea on the table and moistened his throat: "Several major Korean restaurant groups organized a delegation to New York, and I only found out about it when I saw TV today." ”
"How long have they been here?"
"The Koreans came a month before you. Zhou Ruiming looked annoyed: "My news is too slow. As soon as they arrived, they recorded the show, which has begun to air on television stations in New York today. ”
"What program?" asked Liu Mang.
Zhou Ruiming picked up the remote control and turned on the TV on the wall: "This is what I recorded, you can take a look." ”
The TV screen shows several middle-aged women in hanbok teaching a few blonde Americans how to make dumplings, which looks like it should be a food show.
"Wakao, translate their conversation. ”
"Okay. Li Ruonan stared at the TV for a while, and was so angry that he slammed the water cup in his hand on the table: "It's so hateful, I've never seen such a brazen nation!"
"What's the matter, what are those women telling the Americans?"
They said that dumplings are a traditional Korean food and have a long history in Korea. And it was spread from their Korea to China. ”
"Tian is shameless! Tian is shameless!" Although he had already seen it once, Zhou Ruiming was still trembling with anger: "If we really let these sticks succeed, what face will we have to meet the ancestor of the underground in the future!"
"Old Zhou, don't worry, let's think of a way together. Liu Mang hurriedly helped Zhou Ruiming sit down and said.
