Chapter 129: Su Nian Jinshi
The lobster meat slices on the plate were poured by Li Mingqiao with hot oil, and the pieces quickly shrank up, and with the steaming heat stimulated by the hot oil, this long dragon made of lobster meat slices seemed to really come to life. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Magic! It's Chinese magic again!" Jeba, who was watching the game with Liu Mang, couldn't help but shout.
"It's not magic, it's just a special cooking technique. Liu Mang explained.
"Oh, Mang, can you teach me? It's amazing! I'm going to be a great magician!" Jeba excited.
"Yes, but I'm afraid you won't be able to endure hardship, Chinese cooking skills need to be honed for a long time. ”
"No problem! I can endure hardship! I have practiced Chinese kung fu before, this will not be more difficult than Chinese kung fu, right?"
"It should be not much worse, the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Everything has to go through continuous training to reach the peak. Liu Mang thought for a moment and replied.
At this time, Li Mingqiao had already finished pouring hot oil, and he poured the golden sauce in the basin on the dragon made of shrimp meat.
The whole long dragon poured with the sauce is golden and brilliant, winding and circling in the plate, and from a visual point of view, it really has the domineering spirit of 'dragon walking the world'.
Li Mingqiao's 'Dragon Travels the World' was completed, and He Donglin's 'Su Nian Jinshi' over there was still steaming in the steamer.
But He Donglin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but picked up an apple and carved it again.
"Judges, please taste Mr. Li Mingqiao's dishes in Dongyue Building first!" Yang Yan raised the microphone and said.
The 30 judges in the audience left their seats and walked onto the platform, first to appreciate the color, aroma and shape of the dishes up close, and then picked up chopsticks and began to taste the taste.
"Not bad! Not bad!" Han Shaobai picked up a piece of shrimp meat and put it into his mouth, nodding again and again.
"The oil temperature makes the shrimp meat cook instantly, which not only retains the tenderness of the shrimp meat, but also makes the shrimp meat full of elasticity. The seasoning of the sauce is just right, it is colored with the lobster's own shrimp yellow, adding a little sea salt and black pepper to decorate slightly, and it does not dominate, overshadowing the original taste of the shrimp meat, which is very good!"
"Thank you Master Han for the compliment!" Li Mingqiao looked happy, as if he had a chance to win.
"However, the most brilliant thing is the hot oil poured on the shrimp meat, this hot oil is not ordinary, right?" Han Shaobai then commented.
"Master Han is worthy of being the chef of Manhan Mansion, and you can see this. This oil is really not ordinary, I just poured hot rice oil!"
"No wonder! I said how can there be a special fragrance, and there is a slight numbness like Sichuan peppercorns, it turns out that this is used!"
"What is the Royal Rice Oil?" Liu Mang had heard of the name of this oil for the first time, and he couldn't help but ask Li Ruonan next to him.
"Royal rice oil is a top-quality vegetable oil, and unlike other oils, it is refined from poppy seeds that have been inactivated and refined. ”
"Poppy, isn't that opium, the plant that refines drugs?" exclaimed Five-Eyes.
"That's right, it's a poppy!" Li Ruonan nodded.
"Isn't that person addicted to this oil? It's the same as taking drugs?" Liu Mang was very curious.
"No, poppy seeds are non-toxic, and the oil that is pressed with them will not only not smoke, but also have a unique aroma. It's just that this opium poppy is forbidden to be cultivated by the state, so if you want to get this oil for vegetables, you have to go through special channels. ”
"It's exquisite!It's so exquisite!Even the oil used for cooking is a rare commodity!It's so insightful to come to the Chef God Competition!" Five Eyes exclaimed.
"Cut! What is this? Liu Mang, what I prepared for you is peony seed oil! This is going to throw off Li Mingqiao's imperial rice oil a few streets!" Li Ruonan said disdainfully.
"Huh, did you really find it?" Liu Mang showed a surprised expression.
Peony seed oil is a tree nut vegetable oil extracted from peony flower seeds, which naturally has a faint floral fragrance and is one of the most precious edible oils recorded in the "Food Treasures".
Peony oil is used to prepare ingredients, whether it is stir-fried, fried, fried, mixed, pickled, cooked, or even used as cream to make bread...... It can bring out the characteristics of the dish to the extreme, and can make the dish richer and more wonderful.
Of course, the price and rarity are also staggering, and they belong to the things that have money and nowhere to buy.
Liu Mang didn't have any hope at first, so the list he handed to Li Ruonan also listed several alternative oils.
For example, olive oil from the Middle East and coconut oil from HN, but I didn't expect Li Ruonan to really find him.
"Of course, don't look at who I am?" Li Ruonan was a little proud: "So, you just give it a go, and the logistics will be handed over to me!"
The judges have already tasted Li Mingqiao's 'Dragon Walks the World', and their faces have a satisfied expression.
And He Donglin, who is known as Huangxuan, finally completed his 'Su Nian Jinshi' at this time.
"This is also okay?!" Liu Mang couldn't help but exclaim as soon as he saw the dishes He Donglin served.
The outside of the cantaloupe carved by He Donglin should be hollowed out, and there is an exhaust flue inside. As soon as the heat in the steamer enters it, it is like a cloud, lingering around the cantaloupe for a long time.
"Sure enough, he was born in carving, not to mention the taste of the dishes, just by virtue of the carving of this food carving, He Donglin is unmatched in this Chef God Competition. Liu Mang said with emotion.
"Can't you do it too?" asked Li Ruonan.
"It's difficult, I can't be so delicate with him!" Liu Mang shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, the presentation of the dishes is only one of them, and in the end, it is the taste that wins. Li Ruonan analyzed.
"Chef He Donglin, is your dish finished?" asked Yang Yan.
"Oh, not yet, there's still one last process left!" He Donglin smiled faintly, lifted the lid on the top of the cantaloupe, and poured the pre-prepared crushed ice cubes in a box.
"Huh, it's actually a cold product?" Seeing He Donglin add ice cubes, the judges all exclaimed.
You should know that traditional bird's nest does not need to be iced, it can be taken out of the steamer and cooled a little before you can eat it.
The sudden addition of ice cubes will not only affect the taste of the dish, but also dilute the flavor of the dish.
After all, ice is water, and once it melts, a traditional Chinese dessert becomes a Western-style cold drink.
"It's a little interesting, this He Donglin is not only excellent in knife skills, but also has a mastery of the dishes and the control of people's tastes. Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of fear in them.
"Are you saying that when He Donglin saw Li Mingqiao making lobster, he immediately changed the dish to the current 'Su Nian Jinshi'?" Li Ruonan covered his mouth and asked in disbelief.
"That's right! Even the judges' tasting time was within his calculations, and he deliberately let Li Mingqiao finish the dishes first! What a rival!"
