Chapter 727: Gordon's Volcano (I)

"Lao Liu, what should I do with these shrimps?"

"Take only the shrimp and the shrimp yellow. Liu Mang replied while using a quick knife to remove the skin from the pork belly.

"Howler. Lin Xiao responded, and quickly removed the head of the fresh prawn, peeled off the shrimp shell, and then used a toothpick to pick out the shrimp line.

The peeled pork belly is first sliced into pieces, then cut into long strips, and finally cut into pomegranate seed-sized pieces.

"Chef, are you going to make meatballs the same way you make a lion's head?" asked Shan Jian, who was helping to beat the eggs.

"Well, the traditional 'vinegar meatballs' are firm and elastic. But it doesn't taste very good, and the texture is not as soft as a lion's head. ”

Many diners often confuse the stewed lion's head with the big meatballs, which is the main dish of Huaiyang cuisine, but it is actually very wrong.

First of all, the shape of the large meatballs is bright in color, thick oil red sauce, and there is more starch and meat in the meatballs. The lion's head is lighter in color, and the shape is not flat, like a sunflower-like bulge.

Again, the method is completely different, the big meatballs are made by chopping half of the fat and lean pork into a meat filling, and then adding eggs, starch and other condiments to knead it. The lion's head is made by cutting the pork belly or pork rump into cubes, adding egg whites and crab roe and doughing them into a round shape with your hands.

Finally, there's the taste. The really good lion's head has a fluffy taste and dissolves in the mouth, while the large meatballs are firm and full of meaty flavor.

"Lao Liu, the shrimp is peeled. Lin Xiao brought the peeled shrimp to the table: "What else do I need to do?"

"Raise the oil pan, and you will fry it later. Liu Mang also chopped the shrimp into pieces, put them on a plate, and then began to stir them with his hands.

"I'm going to fry it, isn't this lion's head simmered over slow heat?"

There are two ways to make Huaiyang lions, one is stewed and the other is braised and braised . However, in both methods, the heat should not be too large, because the unformed lion's head is soft and easy to fall apart.

"It's time to put your skills to the test. Liu Mang gestured a finger: "My requirement is that the outer skin is golden and crispy, and the inner layer should melt in the mouth." ”

"Well, it's not easy, but it's not hard for me. Lin Xiao smiled and walked towards the stove.

Stir the diced meat and shrimp in the pot with egg white, pepper, salt and a small amount of starch to make it stronger, then divide it into small balls of the same amount, and finally beat it back and forth between the two hands.

"Chef, I'm here to help. Shan Jian washed the handle.

"Hmm. Liu Mang gently put the meatballs in his hand into the plate.

Liu Mang is busy here, and Gordon's dishes are nearing the end there.

Liu Mang and Lin Xiao guessed correctly, the inspiration for Gordon's dish did come from a volcano.

Fresh tomatoes are minced, chopped onions, cheese and other accessories are added to make a thick sauce and poured into a volcano made of mashed potatoes.

"It looks so good, I just don't know what it tastes like. Shan Jian looked at the big screen on the wall and licked her lips.

"The taste will not be bad. Liu Mang raised his head: "Gordon's cooking skills don't have to be said, the title of Michelin is sometimes a bit useful." ”

"Lao Liu, the oil temperature has risen, is the lion's head ready?" Lin Xiao shouted in front of the stove.

"Alright, bring it to him. Liu Mang put the last meatball in his hand into the plate and said.

The clear oil in the pot is calm, there is no heat, and there is no green smoke. Only by looking closely will you notice the tiny bubbles of oil coming up from the bottom of the pot.

At this time, the oil temperature was only thirty percent hot, Lin Xiao squinted, stared at the bottom of the pot, and didn't dare to hit it at all. Because controlling the oil temperature is the key to this, the slightest carelessness can cause the lion's head to fall apart into a pot of minced meat.

Carefully picking up the lion's head and sliding it into the pot one by one, Lin Xiao slowly turned the pot to prevent it from sticking.

"Judges, my dish is finished. Wiping off any excess sauce around the plate with a crisp white towel, Gordon rang the bell on the table.

Gordon's volcano shape is very simple, without too much decoration, and even the mashed potatoes for making the volcano are not colored, but maintain a pale yellow color.

"This dish ......" one of the judges pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and squinted his eyes.

"Why a volcano?" said Glenn Laurie, surprised.

"No, that's not Gordon Ramsay's style!" another judge commented.

In his impression, Gordon Ramsay's previous dishes were known for being delicate and close to nature, and they were not so rough at all.

This time the dish was also special, not using the porcelain plate commonly used in Western cuisine, but a metal disc with an alcohol lamp placed under the disc.

"What's the matter, this dish has nothing to do with that "Starry Sky" at all. ”

"It's like, as much as I love Gordon's show, his performance today was really disappointing. ”

"I can also make this dish, it's not that complicated at all. ”

When Gordon Ramsay's dish was served, not only the judges, but also the audience had a lot of doubts.

In the face of these doubts, Gordon Ramsay was unusual, did not refute it out loud, let alone scold angrily.

"It's strange, how does the dog look like a different person, this doesn't make sense!" Lin Xiao, who was blowing up the lion's head, said strangely.

According to Gordon's fiery personality in the past, in the face of such a scene, he must have to go back, but now with a smile on his face, he seems to be indifferent.

"You idiots, you don't understand!" Gordon thought to himself, nodding and smiling.

"Mr. Gordon, I would like to ask, is there any connection between your dish and the paintings of Mr. Vincent van Gogh?"

"As much praise as you can stand up to slander. Gordon Ramsay walked up to the judge and propped his hands on the table: "Sir, do you know the life of Vincent van Gogh?"

"Of course, I graduated from the London School of Art, and I have studied what happened to Mr. Van Gogh in detail. In the face of Gordon's aggressive eyes, the judge felt an inexplicable timidity in his heart.

"Very well, sir. Gordon clapped his hands and took a step back: "Then how do you describe Van Gogh's life?"

"Describe Van Gogh's life?" The judge was stunned for a moment, then pondered, and after a long while, he spat out a sentence: "There is a fire in his heart, but everyone who passes by only sees smoke." ”

"And what about you?" asked Gordon, turning his head again to one of the judges next to him.

"The pain of life is still as vexatious as ever-pervasive. It was as if he was just a toddler, and he always didn't get what he wanted. But very close to divinity, I would rather believe that he has faith in heaven. The judge was also silent for a while and replied.

"That's a great answer!" Gordon praised, "but in my opinion, Van Gogh's life was bleak, desolate, and unpopular, just like my current dish." ”

"This dish?"

"That's right!" Gordon pulled a igniter out of his pocket, "Now, please witness the life of Vincent van Gogh." ”
