"Xiao Wu, steam this on the stove!" Liu Mang first peeled the carrots and potatoes, and then ordered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Put the salted duck eggs in a pot and cook, carefully picking out the yolks. Take only the flesh of the yellow croaker and carefully pick the fine spines inside. It is then cut into small pieces of one centimeter square and marinated with egg whites and starch.

The preliminary work was basically completed, Liu Mang picked up a picked orange, took out the carving knife, and began to carve the container containing the 'crab meat'.

Liu Mang was doing it leisurely here, and George Li over there was also busy in front of the board with his assistant.

Like Liu Rui last time, all of George Lee's kitchen utensils were brought by himself, and they were even more exaggerated than Liu Rui's, which was simply a futuristic sci-fi show.

In addition to thermometers and siphon bottles, there are a large number of electronic devices that glow red and all kinds of oddly shaped knives. There is even a tool similar to the laser gun in the movie "Star Wars", and it can really emit lasers, which provoked the audience to exclaim.

"Boss, what are they doing? It's just a dish, how do it look like an alien laboratory? It's too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Well, maybe their cooking philosophy is different from ours, we try to restore the original flavor of the ingredients, while they demand new, which is probably like the difference between traditional art and modern art. ”

"Is anyone still eating this kind of food? Why do I feel weird?"

"Someone must have eaten it, and people will always have a curious mentality. Of course, this can only be tasted occasionally, and it is not the right way. ”

Liu Mang was talking in his mouth, but his hands did not stop, and exquisite containers quickly took shape under his hands.

On the skin of the orange, Liu Mang carved a variety of patterns of maids, animals, flowers and plants, and each one is different.

At this time, George Lee took the hot syrup from his assistant and began pouring it in a stainless steel vessel.

The vessel is round in shape, one meter in diameter and one meter long, divided into two layers, the middle layer already filled with crushed ice.

As soon as the hot transparent syrup is poured down, it quickly condenses and forms beautiful sugar crystals.

After pouring the syrup in his hand, George Lee put the utensils upside down on the board and carefully removed them.

Amid the exclamations of the audience in the hall, a transparent round shell resembling a bird's nest took shape.

"Huh, this idea is not bad! It's beautiful!" Hearing the audience's exclamations, Liu Mang raised his head and glanced over there, praising it.

"Isn't this the same as painting a sugar man in China? When the sugar juice is condensed, I will do it. Five-eyes rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

"You know how to do it, but you have never thought of applying this method to the presentation of dishes, right? Sometimes the innovation of a dish is a lack of imagination! It seems that this foreign 'molecular cuisine' also has its merits. Liu Mang said thoughtfully.

"Boss, it's almost time for the potatoes and carrots to be steamed, can you take them out?"

"Take it out. Liu Mang nodded, and the last orange in his hand was also carved.

Steamed carrots and potatoes were passed through a cold water by the five eyes.

Liu Mang took out a kitchen knife and crushed the two ingredients into a fine puree with the horizontal surface of the knife.

"The hairy crab should be fine, you take it out and pretend to handle it, but you don't have to touch it yet. ”

"Acting boss?"

"That's right, it's acting! Otherwise, how can it surprise people?"

"Okay. Five-Eyes nodded, took a large plate, and pretended to be handling hairy crabs inside.

The two kinds of vegetable puree are ready, Liu Mang grinds the salted egg yolk into powder, and then sets up the pot on the stove, ready to start frying.

"Well, the smell of peony seed oil is really good, and it naturally has a fresh fragrance. Liu Mang opened the lid of a bottle, stepped forward to sniff it, and praised.

Han Shaobai guessed correctly, Liu Mang didn't plan to make the traditional 'crab inlaid orange' at all.

When Li Ruonan talked about the concept of 'molecular cuisine', he immediately remembered a traditional Chinese dish - race crab.

Although the name of 'Sai Crab' has crabs, it is not really made from crabs.

Legend has it that the famous Cixi Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty suddenly wanted to eat hairy crabs one day, but because Beijing was far away from the rich production area in the south of the Yangtze River, it could not be supplied in time, which was very bad for the imperial chefs and courtiers.

A famous imperial chef had an idea and used eggs to imitate crab meat to make this 'crab race', which was greatly praised by Cixi. Later, the dish spread to Shanghai and developed there.

Use completely different ingredients to imitate the taste of some other rare ingredients to make up for the regret of the stomach.

This method has long been played by Chinese chefs.

There are many ways to make 'crab racing', including eggs and fish......

But most of these methods can be skillfully used by chefs to restore the deliciousness of crab meat and crab roe.

This is many years ahead of the 'molecular cuisine' that foreigners have come up with.

Liu Mang's purpose is very simple, he wants to use traditional Chinese cooking to counter George Lee's 'molecular cuisine', using fake hairy crabs to make this traditional 'crab with orange'.

The oil in the pot was already hot, Liu Mang poured down the marinated fish and stir-fried it quickly.

This diced fish is used as a substitute for crab meat, and it tastes better and more realistic than using egg whites.

The diced fish is stir-fried in a pan, and the salted egg yolk and crushed two kinds of vegetable puree are also added, and then salt, Shao wine, clear soup, and wet starch are added to mix.

Under Liu Mang's ingenious ratio, these ingredients have been wonderfully blended, and a vague umami emanates from the pot.

This practice is a great test of a chef's palate.

If you want to deceive the discerning judges, then the chef's own perception of taste is several times sharper than theirs!

And now, Liu Mang can proudly pat his chest and say that in this chef competition, except for him and Lin Xiao, no one else can do it.

"Well, the taste is just right! Now put it in a container made of oranges and steam it, so that the aroma of the orange skin can penetrate thoroughly, then this fake 'crab inlaid orange' will definitely be fake. ”

Liu Mang picked up a frying spoon and scooped a little 'race crab' from the pot and put it in his mouth to taste, very satisfied.

"Xiao Wu, bring the oranges over! Ready to be steamed on the stove!" Liu Mang shouted.

Five Eyes walked over with a large tray on which were orange shells carved by Liu Mang.

"Boss, can you deceive the past?" Wuyan leaned over to Liu Mang's side and asked quietly.

"Hello, you taste it. Liu Mang tapped a little with the tip of the chopsticks and put it into the mouth of the five eyes.

"Shhh

Because Liu Mang now uses carrots, potato flour, salted egg yolks... Blended crab meat – just like real hairy crabs, if not more delicious!) )
