"Liu Mang, if you win this game, you will enter the semi-finals!"

Li Ruonan was dressed very casually today, changed out of the professional suit he usually wears, put on a set of pure white sportswear, did not apply powder on his face, and had a ball on his head, like a pure college student who had just left school. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"George Li, why does this person's name look like a foreigner?" Liu Mang replied and looked at the information that Li Ruonan had found for him in his hand.

Last time, there was a gambling fight on the cruise ship that went to the village house Erxiong, so there were a few games Liu Mang didn't see, this George Lee, he was not familiar with.

"He was a Chinese-American, and he came back to participate in the Chef Competition. ”

"Fake foreign devils, can also participate in the Chinese Chef God Competition?" Five Eyes was very curious.

Of course, his grandfather came to the United States during the Republican period and has been opening a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown in Los Angeles. Speaking of which, this George Lee is also an alumnus of mine, and he also studied at Le Cordon Bleu in France. ”

"A combination of East and West, then he should be very strong?"

"Yes, in addition to traditional Chinese food, he is also good at Western food, and in recent years he has been concentrating on 'molecular cuisine' and is a leader in this new culinary discipline. ”

"Molecular cuisine?" Liu Mang and Wuyan were puzzled at the same time.

"Molecular cuisine, also known as molecular gastronomy, is a culinary concept that has been full of gimmicks overseas in recent years. To put it bluntly, it is actually the use of chemical or physical theories in cooking to reorganize the molecular structure of food. It can make the potato appear in a frothy form, make the lychee caviar-like, and have the texture of caviar, the taste of lychee. In layman's terms, the food it makes can deceive the eyes of diners from the outside, but it is full of surprises when you eat it. ”

"Oh, isn't it the same as Liu Rui who makes rainbow buns?

"Sort of, but George Lee is doing a better job, and his restaurant in New York has now been awarded a Michelin star. ”

"Interesting, lychee-flavored caviar, frothy potato?" Five-eyed's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"It's not a big deal, the so-called 'molecular cuisine' has been invented by our ancestors a long time ago, but it's just a matter of letting those foreigners put on a scientific coat. Liu Mang thought about it and replied.

"Why don't I know?" asked Li Ruonan strangely.

"Haven't you ever eaten marshmallows? Haven't you ever eaten candy blowers, pickled eggs, and even tofu making with physics and chemistry?"

"Oh......!" Five-Eyes suddenly realized. "Boss, when you say that, I don't have any mystery about this 'molecular cuisine' now. ”

"Then Liu Mang, what dishes are you going to use against this match?" Li Ruonan then asked.

"I had already thought of a dish, but since people play with high technology, I decided to use the local method, so I decided to temporarily switch to another traditional Chinese 'molecular cuisine'. Liu Mang laughed.

"Traditional Chinese 'molecular cuisine'?" Li Ruonan looked puzzled.

She really can't think of the concept of 'molecular cuisine', which has only emerged abroad in recent years, and how can there be any 'molecular cuisine' in China since ancient times?

"The second group of the Chinese Chef Competition, the second competition of the second group will start soon! Here are the two chefs we are invited to participate in today's competition, Liu Mang from Jiangdong Four Seasons Pavilion and George Lee from New York Magic Cuisine!"

"Little Five, it's our turn. Liu Mang stood up and walked from the audience to the platform of the game.

George Lee was probably in his 30s and wore a black chef's uniform with a tall build.

Probably because of his mixed race, his cheekbones are high, his eye sockets are deep, and the lines of his face are angular, which is very manly.

"Hello! Mr. Liu. As soon as Liu Mang stepped onto the platform, George Li took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand.

"Hello!"

"The last time I saw Mr. Liu's 'braised puffer fish', it was really amazing. "George Lee is very fluent in Chinese, which is more than a little bit stronger than Jeba.

"It's just a little skill of carving insects, Mr. George's ancestral home is Cantonese?" Liu Mang asked when he heard that his accent was a bit Cantonese.

"Well, that's right, my grandfather came to the United States from Shunde for many years. George Lee nodded and replied.

"Two, what are you going to do today?" Yang Yan asked with the microphone over.

"Well, I'm here today to make a combination of Chinese and Western dishes, which I created myself, called 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. ”

"Wow, what a beautiful name, what about you? Master Liu Mang?"

"I'll just have a traditional 'crab inlaid orange'. Liu Mang nodded with a smile.

"Crab inlaid with oranges, what's the matter with 'molecular cuisine'?" Li Ruonan, who was sitting in the audience, was even more puzzled when he heard Liu Mang report the dishes.

'Crab inlaid orange' is a Zhejiang dish that probably began in the Southern Song Dynasty and has been passed down to this day.

The general recipe for this dish is to cut off a piece of each fresh orange at the top of the top quarter, scoop out the orange with a spoon, and make a container.

Then mix the water chestnuts, crab meat, fat and various seasonings, put them into the fresh oranges, cover the orange slices that were originally cut, and finally put them in the steamer and steam them.

This dish is bright and beautiful, orange crab fat, mellow taste, has always been a very famous dish in Zhejiang cuisine.

But the method and texture of this dish don't seem to have anything to do with foreign 'molecular cuisine', right?

"Okay, our judges are invited, and today's competition will start immediately!"

……

"Boss, how many crabs do you want again?" asked Wuyan, who went to the food area with Liu Mang to select ingredients.

"If you want to eat as many as you want, you can pick a few. ”

"I want to eat? What do you mean? Isn't it for the judges?" asked Five-Eyes curiously.

"Well, actually, I didn't use crabs in the 'Crab Orange' I made today. Liu Mang pinched a salted duck egg and looked at it, and then said.

"Huh?!No crabs?, so how?"

"Hehe, how can the traditional 'crab and orange' compare to George Lee's 'molecular cuisine', if you want to do it, you have to make something different. You will take a few crabs and steam them in the oven, so that the judges and the audience will think that I am making the traditional 'crab inlaid orange', and I will give them a surprise at the end!" Liu Mang ordered.

"Accident, okay!" Five-eyes immediately became interested, picked up the net and prepared to catch hairy crabs.

Liu Mang, on the other hand, walked to the seafood area, picked a yellow croaker, then took a few salted duck eggs, a few carrots and a few potatoes.

"Chef Han, do you think Liu Mang's 'Crab Inlaid Orange' has a chance to win this time? George Lee's 'Magic Sun Egg' last time is simply amazing! I know for the first time that the original dish can still do this. ”

"Well, people always have a strong curiosity about things they have never seen before, and George Lee's 'molecular cuisine' has added a lot to him in that regard. ”

"Also, it's hard to predict the outcome this time? I was very optimistic about Liu Mang at first. ”

"Hehe, look at it! What Liu Mang did today is an ordinary 'crab inlaid orange'!"

Seeing the ingredients selected by Liu Mang, Han Shaobai, who has been cooking for many years, has already roughly guessed what he wants to do, with a mysterious smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
