The barbecued pork on Liu Mang's side is grilled, and the meat pieces of Takizawa Spring on the opposite side are also out of the pot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He uses tongs to remove the pieces of meat from the pan and place them on a cutting board ready to slice.
This kind of meat is very common in Toei's ramen, and the general practice is to tie the lean pork shoulder into a cylinder with hemp rope, then put it in a pan and fry it until the color turns yellow, then add light soy sauce, rice wine, mirin and bonito flakes, add water and simmer over low heat.
The resulting pieces of meat are tender and juicy, and they go well with the refreshing ramen.
Takizawa Quan glanced at Liu Mang's side and found that the Chinese was cutting the grilled meat into small pieces, and couldn't help but 'hum': "I thought there was something special, it turned out to be just barbecue!"
Takizawa's pride is based on years of hard work. From the time he chose to inherit the family's shop, his father, Takizawa Kan, trained him almost harshly.
Just like the tonko, the ingredient in ramen noodles now, there are strict rules on the strength of the bundling, the time it takes to cook, and the amount of seasoning added.
In the past, in the process of learning art at Takizawa Quan, if there was a little mistake, it would be exchanged for a severe reprimand from his father, which made him come to this day step by step.
A sharp cooking knife cuts into the pork rolls, cutting them into chunks.
The meat juice contained in it seeped out, and Takizawa Izumi dipped his hand in it and tasted it, revealing a satisfied expression: "Yo Xi! It's delicious, it's the perfect pork meat roll I've ever made!"
After cutting the pieces of meat and setting it aside for later use, Izumi Takizawa rubbed his hands and prepared to cook today's ramen.
A bowl of authentic Toei ramen can be broken down into: fabric, side dishes, soup base, flavoring, and seasoning.
Put miso and a little lard in a bowl and mix the soup base, and then you can start the following.
The noodles made by Izumi Takizawa are made with flour from Hokkaido and kneaded with special lye.
This kind of noodles will not rot for a long time, and it is very strong. With hot soup, it can warm from the mouth to the stomach with one inhalation.
"I'm going to start below, Liu Mangjun, are you ready?" Takizawa Quan said to Liu Mang through the translator equipped on the spot.
"Well, that's fine. Liu Mang nodded, and cut the last slice of barbecued pork: "Xiao Wu, just like last time, let's go to the street with Mr. Jiro to pick and choose passers-by to taste." ā
"Boss, how many are you looking for?" asked Five Eyes.
"Find thirty people! Remember, try to pick the older ones. Liu Mang thought about it and replied.
"Ah, why, do you still have to look at the person when you eat noodles?" said Five-Eyed in surprise.
"Yes, the flavor of my noodles is a little stronger. As people get older, their sense of taste begins to deteriorate, and they will prefer heavier flavors. Liu Mang explained.
"Boss, I really admire you!" "Five-eyed ha" laughed: "I've thought of everything, and it's just watertight." ā
Hearing that the winner was about to be decided, the people in the hall became excited, and the reporters were busy, ready to follow the passers-by who went to the street to pick and choose to taste.
"Takizawa-kun, aren't you going?" Hachiro Yamano asked, walking over.
"No, I believe in you!Besides, I'm confident in my face, as long as those people's tongues aren't broken, then I'll win!" Takizawa Izumi was so busy stirring the hot soup in the bucket that he didn't even lift his eyes.
"That's right, you can definitely win!" Hachiro Yamano smiled on his face, but scolded in his heart: "The guy with eyes on his head! Don't look at who his opponent is?
After a while, Goyan came back with Hachiro Yamano, he walked back, nodded, and signaled that he did what Liu Mang ordered.
"Liu Mangjun, the people have been recovered, they are all arranged in the next room, you can start the next line. Hachiro Yamano said.
"I'm very strange, looking at your appearance, you seem to want me to win this time?" Liu Mang picked up the chopsticks and smiled meaningfully.
"Huh?" Hachiro Yamano was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand again and again: "I'm just playing the role of an intermediary, it doesn't matter to me who wins." ā
"Could it be that he can see this Chinese boy?" Hachiro Yamano chuckled in his heart, and then quickly put this thought out of his mind: "The president's plan is simply perfect, it is impossible for him to guess it." ā
"Little Wu, help me set the bowls, I'm going to start below. Liu Mang picked up the noodles rolled out on the table and threw them into a large pot of boiling water.
The pot was not pure boiling water, but a small amount of salt and salad oil was added by Liu Mang.
The advantage of this method is that it makes the noodles non-stick and the taste is more refreshing, which is a little trick.
Once the noodles are ready, remove them, place them at the bottom of the bowl, and pour a large spoonful of thick soup over them.
In addition to the sliced barbecued pork, in order to take care of the taste of the Dongying people, Liu Mang also prepared blanched fungus, thinly shredded radish, and boiled sugar eggs.
The eggs are boiled in boiling water for only eight minutes, then quickly removed and cut in half.
The yolk inside the egg has not yet solidified, and with the bright red barbecued pork, verdant green onions, snow-white shredded radish, and black fungus slices, it gives people a strong sense of impact visually.
"Okay, my ramen is done, and it's time to call them to try it. Liu Mang placed the ramen noodles on a cart and sent them to the center of the hall, where bowls were neatly placed on the table.
Takizawa Izumi's ramen is also finished, and unlike Liu Mang's ramen, which has rich ingredients, his ramen has no ingredients other than a piece of pork meat and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Seeing Liu Mang placing the ramen on the table, Takizawa Quan leaned over and glanced at it, with a hint of guidance in his tone: "The ingredients are very rich, but the essence of Dongying ramen is in the soup and noodles, and ramen like yours is only suitable for small noodle restaurants in the countryside of Dongying, and it can't be on the real countertop." ā
"That's not visible. After listening to Jiro Ida's translation, Liu Mang laughed: "Noodles and noodle soup are the essence of ramen, and I'm tired of playing with them, so now I want to make some new tricks." ā
Listening to Liu Mang's tone, it seemed that he didn't take this competition to heart, but was experimenting with his new dishes, Takizawa Quan was very angry, and snorted coldly in his heart: "I don't know the height of the sky!"
"Wow! It's delicious to look at!" Passers-by from outside were invited to the lobby by the hotel staff, and immediately let out a burst of exclamations when they looked at the ramen noodles on the table.
"Don't make a sound, please enjoy the food quietly. When you're done, put the wooden card you just gave to you and put it on your favorite ramen table. Jiro Ida said with the microphone.
