"So, this dish where you can't see eggplant is the original face of the 'eggplant' in the Red Mansion?" asked Han Shaobai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"That's right!" He Donglin nodded: "After the pickled shredded eggplant and accessories are put into the pot together, although they will melt and disappear quickly, the flavor will remain in the dish." This is also why in "Dream of Red Mansions", Grandma Liu ate it twice in a row, and after Sister Feng's reminder, she knew that it was eggplant!"

"Mr. He is really talented!" Tan Shi couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this.

"It's a pity!He should stop at this!" Han Shaobai glanced at Liu Mang over there, and said with a little regret in his heart.

"Well, the potatoes are almost rotten, let's go to other dishes!" Liu Mang took the tomatoes handed over by Wuyan and poured them into the pot.

You say that this 'Northeast stew' is exquisite, but it is not exquisite. I don't want to be particular about it, but there are strict requirements for the time to put in the side dishes.

Dishes that are not easy to cook should be put in first, such as potatoes and tomatoes, and eggplants and beans should be put later, so as not to rot in the pot.

Orderly in chaos, chaotic in order, this is the essence of this 'Northeast messy stew'.

In addition to vegetables, Liu Mang also prepared quail eggs and pork balls, which can only be considered successful if they are stewed over low heat to bring out all the flavors in the ingredients and blend them into one.

After a few more pauses, Liu Mang poked the tomatoes with his chopsticks and poured the eggplants in the pot into it.

Different from the eggplant used by He Donglin, Liu Mang deliberately picked a purple eggplant that was ripe today.

The flesh of such an eggplant is like a sponge, which can absorb the flavor of the soup, and when you bite into it, you will definitely be full of emotion.

At this time, the judges had already finished tasting He Donglin's 'eggplant', and when they saw that Liu Mang's dishes had not yet come out of the pot, they returned to the judges' seat and waited patiently.

"Brother Shaobai, do you think Liu Mang can still win this time?" Tan Shi took a sip of the tea on the table and asked.

"I think it's very difficult! Because He Donglin's 'eggplant' is so amazing, I didn't even think that someone would be able to copy it, and it seems that the other judges did the same as I thought. ”

"Also, if Liu Mang makes another dish, there is always a glimmer of hope. But now he is actually making an ordinary stew, and the gap is too big, and there is no chance of winning at all. Tan Shi also analyzed.

"Okay, bring the fungus and beans to the pot, and the dish can be finished!"

The pitch-black fungus and emerald green lentils fell down, and Liu Mang stirred them with a spoon.

At this time, the soup in the pot is already a little sticky, which is due to the addition of potatoes.

The starch contained in the potatoes naturally adds a thin layer of thickener to the ingredients in this pot, wrapping the flavor of the soup on the ingredients.

You don't need much seasoning at all, just sprinkle a little salt and pepper at the end, and this 'Northeast Messy Stew' is ready to go.

In fact, there is also messy stew in the south. It's just not called messy stewing. In Nanjing, it's called a hodgepodge.

The biggest difference between Nanjing smorgasbord and Northeast stew is that it does not put the sauce on the side, and has an original freshness.

What Liu Mang is doing now is to use his experience in the past few years to stimulate the taste of various ingredients in the pot.

That's right!

With the improvement of cooking skills, Liu Mang feels more and more that the real craftsmanship is not in the hands of a chef, but in the heart of the chef.

This is a kind of heart for life and life without life.

Liu Mang's mind recalled what the owner of the sauce and meat shop he met on CD had said.

He said that in my concept, food is not a delicacy of the mountains and seas. Food should be something that can be touched and seen on an ordinary basis, and through the hands and skills of the chef, ordinary things can be turned into delicious dishes, which is the real food!

"That's right, use your own mind to make the dish have the power to soothe people's hearts, so that everyone who has eaten it can show a happy smile, this is the heart of the chef!" Liu Mang clenched the stir-fry spoon in his hand and became more and more determined.

"Xiao Wu, bring the stone pot, it's ready to be served!" Liu Mang shouted.

Soon, Goyan was holding a huge stone pot with a rag and placing it on the board.

This stone pot is brought by Liu Mang, made of obsidian, and after being heated, it can preserve the temperature of the food to the greatest extent.

In the eyes of Northeast people, the 'Northeast Stew' is a hot food. A table of people gathered around a large pot of steaming stew, chopsticks flying, laughing and scolding loudly, wine glasses clattering, and their faces dripping with oily sweat.

When you have a hearty meal, you might as well stand up, step on the stool with one foot, hold the wine glass in one hand, and busily pick up the vegetables with the other, laughing and scolding loudly......

In the eyes of people in other places, this scene is simply a bandit, but this is also the embodiment of the hearty eating of 'Northeast stew'.

Different things erase the boundaries of each other, and truly achieve that you have me, I have you, and there is no distance at all.

Those who live in the ice and snow, in order to resist natural and man-made disasters, have developed a character of emphasizing righteousness and friendship.

The eating habits of everyone stirring horses and spoons in a pot have pulled into the relationship with each other, and the broadness, atmosphere, enthusiasm and tolerance of the character are perfectly reflected in the stew.

"Zila!" Liu Mang poured the vegetables in the pot into the hot stone pot, and the ingredients that had been simmered over low heat immediately bubbled, and bursts of aroma quickly spread.

Liu Mang rang the bell and announced that his dish was finished!

"Oh, I don't even want to taste it!" one of the judges said, glancing at the big screen, with some disdain.

"That's right! What is a pot of boiling? Pig food? I've never eaten anything so casual since I've grown up. A fashionably dressed female judge with international names frowned.

"Does this still need to be compared? Just looking like it is several grades worse than Master He's 'eggplant'! Not to mention any cultural heritage!"

"I have also eaten Northeast cuisine, and I have heard them say that the origin of this 'Northeast stew' is used by nomads to cook leftovers!

"I don't think that's the case! Haven't you heard of 'the road to simplicity'? A technology and a study are very profound, because they have not seen through the substance. It's very complicated because it doesn't grasp the key to the procedure! Just based on the 'braised puffer fish' that Liu Mang made last time, do you think he looks like that kind of mediocre person?"

"I also agree! The simpler the dish, the more difficult it is to make it well! Just like the 'dry fried beef river' that Liu Mang made last time, didn't it make you praise it? I believe that today's 'Northeast Stew' will be just as brilliant!"

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing! Let's finish tasting the contestants' dishes first!" Han Shaobai stood up. (To be continued.) )
