Chapter 675: Delicious Food (Part II)
"But Lao Liu, you only guessed half right, this soup is not hot. Lin Xiao continued.
Although the soup in the soup cup is clear, there is not a trace of heat coming out, and it feels like a calm lake, without any waves.
"Isn't it hot? Liu Mang said with a smile.
"It's sloppy!" Lin Xiao took a closer look and saw the clue.
There is a transparent layer of clear oil floating on the surface of the soup, and it is this layer of clear oil that keeps the heat of the soup from coming out.
"I didn't expect that our method of 'Yunnan cross-bridge rice noodles' can also be seen in France. Liu Mang picked up the soup and said.
The biggest feature of China's 'Yunnan Bridge Rice Noodles' is that it is covered with goose fat, and the soup is hot, but it does not steam.
Lin Xiao stirred lightly with the soup, and the soup in the soup cup immediately burst into a rising mist, and a slightly choking smell came to his face.
"It turned out to be onion soup. Lin Xiao scooped up a spoonful, blew twice, and then put it in his mouth and took a sip.
As Liu Mang said, this soup is indeed a little hot. The hot soup stimulates people's mouths and makes people nervous all over the body, looking forward to the arrival of delicious food.
As the soup falls into the throat, the taste buds on the tip of the tongue feel like hearing a symphony, all of which are uplifted, and the taste of onions gives people a wonderful feeling of 'everyone is drunk and I am alone'.
"This ...... This soup is the same as our 'boiling water cabbage'!" Lin Xiao pinched the soup with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Well, at least seven or eight points alike. Liu Mang also tasted it: "The soup is made of good chicken broth, and the soup noodles are not poured with chicken fat, but olive oil, so as not to destroy the freshness of the soup, and the high temperature is deliberately maintained to make the deliciousness of the soup to the limit." It's a bowl of soup to see the extraordinary in the ordinary!"
"Yes, this soup alone is indeed worthy of the title of God of Cooking. He Donglin was also amazed.
"But I think it's a little bit away from the chef's boiling cabbage. Shan Jian drank a spoonful, scooped up another spoonful and savored it: "Although the taste is amazing, it is not very elegant, and I always feel that the shock that hits people's hearts is missing." ”
"Western haute cuisine is usually all about the taste and beauty of the dishes, and Gordon Ramsay has been able to take a different approach, which is already remarkable!"
Lin Xiao's face was a little solemn: "Lao Liu, I underestimated the dog egg at the beginning. Most of the judges in the Chef Contest originally preferred Western-style food, and with such dishes and the advantage of this game, he must be one of your fierce rivals. ”
"I have thought about this for a long time. And the more this happens, the more interesting it will be. ”
"Well, the next dish should be the main course, I don't know what the dog eggs will serve. Lin Xiao nodded and replied.
"The sourness of the appetizer can be regarded as opening people's taste buds, and the freshness and hotness of the soup stimulate people's appetite, so the main course must be a dish with a strong flavor that can make people feel full. Liu Mang analyzed.
"Steak, foie gras, or seafood?"
"I can't guess what it is, after all, there are so many dishes in the West, and the main course is the most important thing in a banquet. Liu Mang replied.
After everyone had finished the soup and waited for about five minutes, this time Gordon Ramsay himself pushed the food cart out of the kitchen.
"Guys, are you still satisfied with my food?"
"It's amazing! Especially this clear soup, it's so memorable. Liu Mang praised without hesitation.
"Really?" said Gordon Ramsay, who felt a hint of pride, but his face didn't show it.
"The soup base uses a large number of chicken bones, after six or seven hours of simmering, then the minced chicken is used to absorb the oil slick, the fresh onion is squeezed into juice, added before the pot, and finally drizzled with extra freshly squeezed olive oil, which not only maintains the temperature of the soup, but also makes the soup less dry, and the taste complements each other. Liu Mang unhurriedly explained the recipe of this soup, as if he had seen Gordon Ramsay make it with his own eyes in the kitchen.
"Ah, Mr. Liu Mang, how can you make this 'royal onion soup'? Aren't you learning Chinese food?" Gordon Ramsay's face froze.
"I haven't done it, but I can taste it. ”
"Taste it?" Gordon Ramsay wanted to ask again, but he stopped: "Mr. Liu Mang, please enjoy today's main course." ”
Gordon Ramsay lifted the lid: "This is a special 'mushroom lobster pasta' I made for Mr. Liu Mang, please try it." ”
"Noodles?" Lin Xiao was stunned.
It's not surprising that pasta is the main dish in Western cuisine, but it's usually found at family gatherings, and in very formal occasions, using pasta as a main course can be a little less grandiose.
At a cursory glance, the pasta on the plate is piled up in the shape of a hill and topped with a bright red sauce, mixed with pink diced shrimp and snow-white mushroom slices.
"Okay, I'll try it. Liu Mang smiled.
How could he not understand that Gordon Ramsay remembered the failure of the last ramen and wanted to challenge him with a different noodle dish.
Liu Mang picked up the fork, twisted it a few times in the pasta on the plate, forked it up, and put it into his mouth.
In the mouth, the sweet and sour taste of pasta wafts in the mouth. The sauce is made with tomatoes, probably because of the addition of seafood, and it is full of umami between sweet and sour. The mushroom slices are fresh and crispy, and they are layered with the soft noodles.
Gordon Ramsay's 'mushroom lobster pasta' is delicious, but more importantly......
Liu Mang swallowed the noodles in his mouth, immediately picked up the knife, pressed a noodle on the plate with a fork, cut it into two pieces, and watched it carefully.
Seeing Liu Mang's movements, the corners of Gordon Ramsay's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of pride, feeling that his goal had been achieved, and this Chinese chef god would definitely be amazed by this.
"The noodles are actually filled?" Sure enough, Liu Mang exclaimed after observing it.
On the cut section of the noodles, there is a small black dot, and it is this black dot that makes the taste of the noodles more vivid, and every time you chew, there is a special aroma lingering in the mouth.
"Stuffed noodles?" Lin Xiao reluctantly put down the knife and fork and leaned in front of Liu Mang's plate to check it.
Liu Mang was right, Gordon Ramsay's specially arranged appetizers and soups stimulated people's appetite and opened the palate. Now when you eat the rich pasta, it is invisibly a little higher.
It's up to the person, not the dish. But it is precisely because of the dishes that people's own desires are stimulated.
Gordon Ramsay takes advantage of the characteristics of the Western food system, one ring is like an opera, and the opening, prelude, and climax are vividly interpreted.
