Chapter 141: Cooking

Half a basin of clear water is placed in the clay pot, and a puffer fish with a large head and a small body and bulging eyes swims in the clear water. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fugu is not unusual, but what is unusual is that the meat on both sides of this pufferfish body has been artificially removed, leaving only a little residual flesh film.

Through the slightly transparent flesh membrane, you can clearly see the pink internal organs of the puffer fish.

"It's still alive!" Li Ruonan and Wuyan also took a closer look and exclaimed in the same exclamation.

"Haha, of course I'm still alive, didn't Liu Mangjun already experience the tenderness of this puffer fish just now?" Muraya laughed proudly.

"Who made this fish? ”

"The chef of this fugu is Master Inoueno, who has been studying fugu cuisine for 30 years, and when it comes to knife skills, he can rank among the top three in our Toei. ”

"I'm concerned about the quality of the pufferfish, not his knife skills, and if I could have done it better, I could have done it and done it better. Liu Mang flicked the puffer fish in the clay pot with his fingers and said lightly.

"Really, Liu Mangjun, are you bragging?" said Muraya Erxiong with a sneer.

"Believe it or not. ”

"Then do you want to have a discussion?" When Muraya Erxiong said this, he was very nervous in his heart, for fear that Liu Mang would refuse.

"Okay! It's just itchy!" Unexpectedly, Liu Mang actually agreed very happily.

"Really? I'll arrange it right away. The corners of the village house two boys had a joy that could not be concealed.

Everyone followed Muraya to the kitchen of the restaurant, where Inoueno, Hachiro Yamano, and Jiro Ida were waiting in the kitchen.

"Inoue-kun, this Liu Mangjun said that your sword skills are not good, he can do better than you!"

Muraya Futsuo muttered, and Inoueno, who was standing respectfully on the side, immediately turned red, obviously very angry.

He grabbed a sharp slicing knife from the table and held it in his hand, and said three words in blunt Chinese - please advise!

Liu Mang stroked the sharp blade with his fingers: "Although I don't know for the time being, how do you make the meat of the puffer fish so tender, then I'll try my own way." ”

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he walked to the water tank placed on the side of the kitchen and grabbed a tiger-headed puffer fish about a pound from it.

"Your Excellency Erxiong, do you have broken ice here?"

"Absolutely. Muraya pointed to the ice crusher in the corner of the kitchen.

"Little Wu, help me get a basin of ice cubes!"

Seeing Liu Mang preparing to use ice cubes, Muraya Erxiong's eyes narrowed, and a trace of panic flashed inside.

"Could it be that this Chinese kid has seen this puffer fish so quickly?"

The reason why the meat of this sashimi is so delicious is that the live puffer fish is soaked in water with crushed ice, and then the fish is cut directly in the ice water.

Iced water paralyzes the nerves of the puffer fish and reduces its sense of pain, so that it keeps the fish alive as long as it does not damage the internal organs.

The sashimi cut in this way can have a unique flavor, but there are no more than 10 people who can do it.

Liu Mang walked around the kitchen, found a bottle of rice wine, pinched open the mouth of the pufferfish, poured the whole bottle of rice wine down, and then re-placed the puffer fish in the clear water.

The crushed ice also came, a basin full, Liu Mang did not use ice cubes to make ice water, but wiped the slicing knife handed to him by Inoue Ye and inserted it directly into the ice cubes.

"Nani?" Seeing Liu Mang stick the knife into the ice, Inoueno's expression immediately changed.

After cooking for so many years, Inoue Ueno certainly knows that Liu Mang's method is equally feasible, even better than his!

Because the puffer fish is soaked directly in ice water, it cannot be sliced out of the water. In this way, the umami of puffer fish meat will inevitably be diluted by ice water.

In order to make a perfect puffer fish sashimi, he thought of many ways and experimented many times, but he never thought that he could cut the puffer fish with a knife.

"In our Chinese history, there is a man named Ku Ding, whose cattle slaughtering skills are amazing, and the world is amazed. The king asked him, "Why is your technique of slaughtering cattle so good?" He replied that everything in the world has a law, and if you grasp the law, then all problems can be solved. ”

After telling this story, with a 'buzz' sound similar to a dragon's groan, the slicing knife inserted in the crushed ice was pulled out by Liu Mang.

Liu Mang held the knife in his hand with a dazzling knife flower, reached into the basin with his left hand and grabbed the puffer fish filled with rice wine, pressed it on the cutting board, and the blade cut down.

"Hurry, hurry!" everyone's eyes widened without blinking.

Liu Mang didn't use his eyes to see at all, the knife in his hand seemed to be walking with his own feelings, as if at this moment, this knife had been given his soul.

"Shhh!" There were two soft sounds, and the fish skin on both sides of the puffer fish was cut off neatly by Liu Mang.

Immediately, pieces of crystal clear fish fillets jumped out of the knife edge in Liu Mang's hand, and he threw them directly into the disc placed on the side.

It only took 18 seconds for Liu Mang's 'tiger head dolphin sashimi' to be completed in the stunned eyes of everyone.

"Whoa!" The puffer fish that took off the meat was thrown back into the basin by Liu Mang, and its body kept writhing, but it still maintained its previous vitality.

A hint of gloom flashed across Inoueno's face, and he knew very well that he had lost.

"My puffer fish sashimi is complete!" Liu Mang pushed the plate in front of Muraya Jio.

"Oh, by the way, sashimi is the name of Dongying, and in our China, this dish should be called 'puffer fish belly'!"

The puffer fish meat on the plate is as white as jade, and compared to the puffer fish fillet that Inoue Ueno cut just now, Liu Mang's puffer fish fillet is larger and thinner, as transparent as crystal, which is more worthy of the name 'cicada wing'.

Muraya Futako tasted it, chewed it lightly twice, his face was gloomy, and he didn't squeak for a long time.

Inoue Ye also took a piece and put it in his mouth, and as soon as he ate it, he was immediately conquered by the taste of the fish.

He has been making fugu for so many years, and he has always thought that the fugu he cooks in this way is already the limit of the taste of fugu sashimi.

But I never thought that today, this young Chinese man could use such an incredible method to push the taste of this puffer fish to a higher level again.

The puffer fish meat cut with a skate blade is delicious and sweet, and because it is cut so thinly, it has the illusion that it is about to melt in the mouth!

Inoue exhaled, walked to the table and picked up the knife that Liu Mangche pufferfish, held it up respectfully again, and spoke a long list of Japanese.

"What did he say?" Liu Mang asked strangely.

"He wants you to take this knife, which is the highest respect of a chef. Li Ruonan translated.
