"Chef, how about you try my 'shrimp and grapefruit peel'?" Just as Liu Mang and the three of them were happily eating, Shan Jian walked in with a dish in his hand.

"Hello! beauty!" Jebba greeted as he munched on the steak and slurred in his mouth.

"'Shrimp and pomelo peel'? this is a kung fu dish!" Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, thanks to the chef's advice, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Shan Jane blushed and was very excited.

The pomelo peel in the disc is golden and soft, and it is no longer visible in its original appearance, but it looks particularly attractive after pouring a layer of orange-red sauce.

"I'll taste it first. Lin Xiao unceremoniously picked up one of the pieces with a fork, divided it into small pieces with a knife, and put it into his mouth: "It tastes really good!"

The pomelo peel was originally tasteless, but it was a little delicious because of the richness of the sauce, supplemented by the umami of the shrimp roe and the original light fragrance of the grapefruit peel, which made people love it.

"That's good, Master Shan Jian, your craftsmanship is getting better and better!" Liu Mang also tasted it and praised it in the same way.

Shan Jian's 'shrimp and pomelo peel' doesn't seem to be very good, but in fact, the method is quite complicated.

The pomelo peel should be first baked on the fire with honey, the turquoise skin should be burned to make the pomelo peel charcoal-shaped, and then the burned pomelo peel should be soaked in clean water, and the charcoal should be carefully peeled off to make the surface of the pomelo peel golden yellow, and then rinsed repeatedly with water to completely remove its bitter and astringent taste.

After the bitterness is gone, then put it in the pot to dry the water, and finally add dace meat, pork belly, dried shrimp, beef, scallop and other accessories to the soup and simmer for four to five hours, until the pomelo peel is soft and delicious, and then it can be put on the plate.

"Mang, what is this?" Comrade Jeba had already dropped the knife and fork in his hand, and instead picked up his chopsticks and snorted at the 'shrimp and grapefruit peel': "Mango?"

"This is a yuzu peel stewed in soup. Liu Mang explained.

"Haven't heard of grapefruit peel? Jeba shook his head, then took another piece.

"You can't have eaten grapefruit, have you?" Shan Jian was very curious.

"Is it a fruit? I haven't eaten it. Jeba looked up and looked stupid.

"Comrade Jeba, what kind of thirteenth generation British aristocrats are you still boasting to me about your family, and you haven't even eaten grapefruit?" Lin Xiao was a little unconvinced: "Chef Shan, please take a pomelo and give it to our foreign friends to taste." ”

"Okay. Shan Jian answered and went out.

"It's normal that I haven't eaten it, grapefruit is a fruit native to my country, and it doesn't seem to be produced in Europe. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Chef, give ......" Soon, Shan Jian walked into the kitchen with a Sha Tin pomelo.

Liu Mang took it and cut it with a knife, peeled off the white flesh inside, tore off a petal and handed it to Jeba: "You taste it, don't eat the white skin on the outside, only eat the flesh inside." ”

"It doesn't taste good!" Jeba tried to take a bite and frowned: "It's a little sour, it's a little bitter, it's not as delicious as grapefruit peel." ”

"That's because you've eaten its bitterness. Lin Xiao was a little funny, he peeled off a petal by himself, and carefully tore off the white film on it, leaving only the crystal flesh: "You taste it again." ”

"Well, it tastes better, but it's still not as good as the skin, are you doing it the other way?" Jebba muttered.

"Then you taste the skin. Lin Xiao was a little helpless, so he only broke off a thick grapefruit peel and handed it to Jeba.

"Phew, it's so bitter!" Jeba grinned as he threw the grapefruit peel into his mouth, chewed it only a few times, and immediately spit it out: "What's the matter? It tastes completely different from the grapefruit peel on the plate." ”

"The pomelo peel on the plate has gone through many processes, and it is definitely not the same taste. This is also one of the specialties of our Chinese chefs. Liu Mang said.

"What's the specialty?"

"It's about processing ingredients that are otherwise inconspicuous and can only be discarded into food. Liu Mang picked up a piece of grapefruit peel again and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully: "Of course, the kung fu is self-evident." ”

"Chef Shan, don't stand, let's sit down and eat together. Lin Xiao greeted.

"No, the kitchen is busy right now, it's time for me to cook. Shan Jian shook his head and smiled.

"Okay, I'm upstairs all this time, and if you and the others have any cooking questions, you can ask me to answer them. Liu Mang replied.

"That's great!" Shan Jian made a yes gesture and walked away happily.

"Mang, your craftsmanship is fantastic! your cooking is better than our English chefs. Jeba finished the grapefruit peel on his plate, then scooped up a scoop of 'vanilla ice cream' and put it in his mouth.

The ice cream in the goblet has a rich milky aroma that melts in the mouth with a sip, and the pleasant smell of vanilla in it rushes straight to the nose, giving the feast a perfect end to today's feast.

The vanilla extract added to Liu Mang's 'vanilla ice cream' today is not a low-grade synthetic product on the market, but a natural flavor extracted from the plant vanilla.

Vanilla has long been known as vanilla, a valuable tropical natural spice. As early as the 16th century, vanilla was used in spice food, and to this day it is still the only orchid plant that is used in spices, so it enjoys the reputation of "spice queen".

Of course, its price is also very expensive, a small bottle with a thumb costs thousands of dollars, and Liu Mang is also seconded from Li Ruonan's dish research and development center.

"British Chef God, is it that dog?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Who's the?" Jeba was stunned.

"Oh, that's that Gordon Ramsay, we Chinese call him dogs. Lin Xiao smiled.

"yes, you know him?"

"Yes. Liu Mang also laughed.

The last time I went to the United States, my classmate asked him to learn how to make ramen, but it ended in failure, and finally ran away in a huff.

"Jeba, is Gordon Ramsay very famous in your country?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask.

"of course!" Jebba snapped his fingers: "In the United Kingdom, apart from Her Majesty the Queen, Gordon Ramsay is the most famous, and his "Hell's Kitchen" has always been the most watched program in the UK. ”

"I don't know if this chef contest will come, if I meet you, it will definitely be embarrassing. Lin Xiao smiled like a hiccup quail.

"It would be interesting if you came. However, Gordon Ramsay can't cook Chinese food, which doesn't mean that Western food can't either. To be a top chef, who has two brushes. Liu Mang replied.

"Mang, are you going to participate in the World Chef Competition?" Jeba asked.

"Well, I'll go. Liu Mang nodded.

"Can you take me there?" Jebba opened his eyes like a child hungry for candy.

"Yes. ”

"Great!" Comrade Jeba cheered.
