Liu Mang does rarely make desserts, but that doesn't mean he can't make them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And the five eyes are wrong, desserts are not only available in the West, China has also had the concept of dessert since ancient times, but it is called pastry in China.

"What to do? osmanthus cake, lotus cake, or silver roll?" Liu Mang hesitated: "It's too ordinary, although these Dongying people may not have eaten it, but there is still no certainty of victory." ”

To despise the enemy is to despise oneself, Liu Mang doesn't want to capsize in the gutter, and although this Ao Tiantou clan hates it, he must have something outstanding to let Ida Huaishu accept him as an apprentice.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang glanced at the opposite side and found that Ao Tiantou's clan was already busy.

"Huh, he's going to make 'molecular cuisine'?" Liu Mang sighed lightly.

Okutentou didn't come alone, he also brought three assistants. And at this moment, his assistant took out a bucket of steaming liquid and prepared to start cooking.

"That's liquid nitrogen, right? Liu Rui and George Li in the Chef God Contest have both used it. ”

Liu Mang once heard Li Ruonan say that the so-called molecular cuisine is a gimmick in overseas cooking concepts in recent years.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use 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.

Liu Mang once tried to make such a dish after the competition, which was very successful, not worse than theirs.

"Okay, if you want to play tricks, then I'll make something new and make something different. Liu Mang made up his mind: "Xiao Wu, you help me go to the hotel staff and ask for a few balloons." ”

"What do you want balloons?"

"You'll find out later, I'll cook for it. ”

"Balloons for cooking?" Five-Eyes scratched his head and ran away.

Liu Mang walked to the area where the ingredients were placed in the hall and began to select the ingredients to be used today.

"Chocolate, lotus root powder, osmanthus syrup, taro seedlings...... Well, yes, they all have them. Liu Mang nodded secretly while selecting the ingredients: "Especially this taro seedling, I began to worry that it is not yet, and I am going to replace it with other ingredients, but now that I have found it, it saves a lot of trouble." ”

Taro seedlings are small taro seeds that are broken from large taro, and the taste is sweeter than that of large taro, which is more suitable for dessert.

"Boss, the balloons you want are here, is it enough?" After selecting the ingredients, Five Eyes also hurriedly ran back with a large bag of balloons.

"That's enough, you can help me melt this chocolate through the water. Remember to take your time and don't be in a hurry. ”

"Howler!" Wuyan was the first time to make desserts with Liu Mang, and he was very excited. At the same time, I was also curious that my boss seemed to use chocolate for the first time in cooking, and I didn't know what kind of dishes would be made later.

At this time, the Ao Tiantou clan on the opposite side had already started to make it.

His assistant cleans fruits such as strawberries, pineapples, and pears and removes the inedible parts. Otian took out a long-handled tong and sandwiched the fruits into the liquid nitrogen poured into the pot.

The temperature of liquid nitrogen is more than -190 degrees Celsius, and as soon as these fruits are soaked in liquid nitrogen, they quickly freeze the ice crystals of the hard erection.

After Ao Tiantou froze the fruit, wrapped it in gauze, and then smashed it with a small hammer.

"It's kind of funny, he wants to extract the powder of the fruit and use it as powdered sugar. Liu Mang, who was peeling the taro with a planer, looked up at the opposite side and said in his mouth.

Conventional methods, such as cutting or mashing, can't completely crush the ingredients, but now you can, I have to say, Okutento's method is very interesting.

The fruit is cracked into a powder and then placed in the oven to dry the moisture inside.

This method of freezing and then drying ingredients is not original to Otiantou, but was invented by Americans. The original purpose was to allow astronauts to eat vegetables and supplement essential vitamins in space.

Later, when this technology matured, it began to be used on a large scale, such as the dehydrated vegetables in instant noodles. However, in this way, Okutento's is likely to be the first.

"Boss, is this okay?" Liu Mang's taro was peeled, and the five-eyed chocolate melted.

"Yes, you can help me blow up the balloon, the same size, a little bigger than a fist. Liu Mang dipped a spoon in the melted chocolate in the pot and tasted it, very satisfied.

The chocolate selected by Liu Mang today is called Chao, this brand of chocolate comes from Venezuela, made entirely from the freshest ingredients, without adding any preservatives, and is one of the favorite ingredients used by top Western chefs.

And the reason why Liu Mang knows this brand is thanks to Li Ruonan, who has studied Western food abroad, and has popularized a lot of basic knowledge about Western cooking for him.

Liu Mang took the balloon that had been blown up by Wuyan, pressed it on the plate with his left hand, scooped a spoonful of slightly cooled hot chocolate from the pot with his right hand, and poured it on it.

Seeing what Liu Mang was doing now, the people in the hall looked at it curiously, very curious about what this Chinese kitchen god was going to do.

"Master, look, what is that Chinese going to do?" said an assistant of the Otian Tou clan with a soft sigh.

"Yo Xi, this method is very ingenious!" Ao Tiantou nodded: "If I am not mistaken, this Liu Mang is making the shell of chocolate." ”

"Lava chocolate?" Otento's assistant pouted, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little more special." ”

Lava chocolate is made by mixing chocolate and butter in a certain proportion, heating it and pouring it into a special abrasive tool to cool it, which is one of the most popular desserts in Europe and the United States.

"Not really. Ao Tiantou shook his head: "It's strange, I inquired when I came, this Liu Mang has never made desserts at the Chinese Chef God Competition, why does the current technique seem to be very skilled?"

"What then, master?"

"Just do your own thing!" Okutentou snorted, "Will I still lose to him?"

"I see, master!" the three assistants nodded at the same time.

……

"Look, Masami, Liu Mangjun seems to be ready to start magic again!" Sachiko took her female companion's hand and exclaimed excitedly.

"Well, making desserts out of balloons, this is the first time I've seen it, so I'm looking forward to it!" her companion Masami chimed.

"Chinese cuisine is amazing, even the process of making it is amazing. Sachiko's eyes are full of little stars.

"What a nymphomaniac! But Liu Mangjun's serious appearance is really charming. ”

"Huh, Masami, you don't like Liu Mangjun too, do you?" Sachiko asked, her eyes wide.

"I like it, I'm going to rob you!" Masami laughed and tickled Sachiko's squeaky nest, and the two of them got into a mess.

As Sachiko said, Liu Mang's expression is indeed quite focused now, he is engrossed in pouring hot chocolate on the balloon without blinking his eyes.

"Alright! Let's see if it works. After the balloon was poured chocolate on all but the one that was blown up, Liu Mang stopped.

Now that the entire balloon had turned into a black ball, Liu Mang pinched the handle of the balloon, and then dipped it into the ice water that had been prepared on the side.

After being cooled by ice water, the chocolate wrapped in the balloon quickly solidified, forming a hard shell.

Liu Mang untied the cotton thread that tied the balloon outlet, released the gas in the balloon, and then carefully pulled the deflated balloon out of the chocolate ball that had been formed.

"Boss, it's perfect, how did you come up with that?" looked at the finished chocolate ball, and admired it again and again.

"I usually think about it a lot, I have already figured out this method, at first I wanted to make a container for plating with syrup, and today I tried it with hot chocolate, but I didn't expect it to be okay. ”

"Brother Mang, are you going to put something in this ball?" Wu Jing sat on the counter, her feet shaking.

After returning from Tang Zhaoti Temple, Wu Jing seemed to have really changed her sex during this time, staying in her room every day and chanting sutras and reciting Buddha, and completely changed as a person. Today, it was only with five eyes that he pulled him over to watch the game.

"Well, I'm going to use the old 'flame dumplings' recipe to make a different dessert. ”

"Tsk, boss, you're really a chef. Five-Eyes took the chocolate ball and threw it in his hand: "How can ordinary people think of it?"

"Be careful, don't break it!" Liu Mang glared at him: "I'll leave the rest to you, the method is actually very simple, just be lightweight, I'll boil what is poured into it." ”

“OK! OK!" Five-Eyes put the chocolate ball back in its place: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Liu Mang put the cleaned small taro into the pot, then added water and boiled it.

A chocolate ball is a good-looking container at best, and the real content should be what's inside the ball.

In the old city of Nanjing, it was common for hawkers to carry the burden through the streets and alleys to sell in the streets and alleys, every time they heard the sound of selling, the adults would take a bowl or a small aluminum pot, and the greedy children followed the adults to see how skillfully the hawkers took the pot, lifted the lid, took the spoon, scooped down, put it into the pot, took the money, and made change......

Fresh taro seedlings are selected, peeled and cooked, plus special osmanthus syrup, and slowly boiled in a large pot.

When cooking, you should put a little alkali in the mouth, so that the taro seedlings will be boiled to produce a red and attractive color. When the taro seedlings are about to be soft and rotten, add lotus root powder, the addition of lotus root powder will make the sugar taro seedlings look thick and delicious, smooth and refreshing to eat, and leave a fragrance on the lips and teeth after eating.

This traditional Chinese 'osmanthus sugar taro sprout', Liu Mang is ready to show its style in a new way in this exotic country today.

"The heat is almost ready, and it's time to start the pot. After the taro seedlings in the pot had been boiling for a quarter of an hour, Liu Mang poked them with a chopstick.

Scoop up the taro seedlings with a colander, then rinse them in cold water and cut them into small cubes.

In another pot, add water and brown sugar, bring to a boil over high heat, simmer over low heat, wait until the taro seedlings in the pot are completely eroded, add the lotus root powder washed with cold boiled water in advance, and stir repeatedly.

Looking at the syrup in the pot that had gradually become viscous, a smile appeared at the corner of Liu Mang's mouth.

Today, I only chose this dessert, and it has something to do with Liu Mang's grandmother, who has passed away for a long time.

Liu Mang's grandmother is from Nanjing. When he was very young, Liu Mang's mother took the young Liu Mang to visit relatives in Nanjing, and his grandmother would always take his hand and go to a street stall to eat a bowl of steaming, sweet and soft taro seedlings.

The sweet taste, that kind of warm memory, has been deeply rooted in Liu Mang's mind, and he will not forget it even if it takes a long time. Whenever I think of it, I feel an inexplicable touch.

"Well, it's almost, it's time to put in the osmanthus syrup. Liu Mang tried it, then poured the golden syrup down and continued to stir.

"Boss, is it enough? Do you want to do it again?" Liu Mang looked back and found dozens of chocolate balls neatly placed on the table.

"That's good, flexible fat man!" Liu Mang was very satisfied, and praised with a smile.

Putting the 'osmanthus sugar taro seedlings' in the pot, Liu Mang took a bucket of ice cubes.

"Boss, I've eaten this taro seedling before, isn't it going to be hot?" asked Five Eyes.

"Originally, it was drunk hot, but now we can't use chocolate balls, we have to refrigerate them, otherwise they will melt the shell when they fall into the balls. ”

"Uh-huh, do you want to add something else?"

"No, everything that should be put is placed, and it can be served as soon as it is loaded. ”

Liu Mang held the chocolate ball with five eyes, found a funnel, and waited for the 'osmanthus sugar taro seedlings' with ice cubes to cool down thoroughly, and carefully poured them into the ball.

Then seal with the rest of the chocolate, and this new version of 'Osmanthus Sugar Taro Sprouts' is complete.

From the outside, except for the rarity of chocolate balls, there is anything special about this dessert, which is dark and inconspicuous, but Liu Mang knows that all the delicious food is wrapped in it, just waiting for the moment when the diners knock it open.
