Episode 236 Li Dongcheng's Cuisine
After the staff sent all the ingredients used by the two contestants to the operating table, the host also re-entered the stage after the ingredients were delivered.
"Good afternoon, spectators, the first and second matches will be held next, and the two sides of the match, Han player Lee Dong Cheng and Malay player Tun Techa. ”
As soon as the words fell, the two players had already walked out of the player tunnel.
"Li Dongcheng, defeat this bastard with the cuisine we studied last night, win glory for our Han cuisine, and let others know that our Huiying School is the number one cooking school in Asia!"
Park Shin-yong, who was standing in the audience, clenched his fists and kept waving. Many people in the audience frowned when they saw Park Shenyong dancing.
Suga Shino didn't understand Japanese and didn't understand what Park was talking about. But Zheng Ke heard it clearly, and glanced back at Yin Xiuli.
Yin Xiuli smiled awkwardly, as a food reporter, a famous cooking school in Asia, of course he has heard of it, whether it is the Oriental Academy in Huaxia or the Yuanyue School in Japan, they are all in the forefront of Asian cuisine schools.
Although Huiying School is good, it can only be in the back row.
"Ahem, it's not ...... Well, that's the case with everybody. Yin Xiuli hurriedly said.
"Alright, the first round, the second game, the topic is mussels, the duration is three hours, now, the competition begins!"
After the hostess finished speaking, the contestants on both sides did not say a word, and immediately reflexively walked to their respective operating tables.
Because of Park Shenyong's words in the morning, Zheng Ke's attention was mostly focused on Li Dongcheng.
"Tomatoes, squid, shrimp, onions, garlic, mussels...... Somen noodles?"
Zheng Ke looked at the ingredients on the big screen one by one, and at the same time estimated that Li Dongcheng might cook, until Li Dongcheng took out the noodles, he felt that something was not right, or rather, it was not the same as the food he thought of in his mind.
He didn't mean to say that this dish was bad, but when the noodles appeared, he felt that this dish might be more of a civilian dish.
If the person who took out the noodles was Kohei Soma, he wouldn't have felt any problems, but would have felt that the game would be very stable. But when Li Dongcheng took out the noodles, Zheng Ke was not optimistic.
As the premier school in the Han country, Hui Ying shouldn't teach civilian cuisine, right?
Park Shin-yong seems to be very confident in this dish...... He won't take Li Dongcheng to the ditch, right?
Zheng Ke thought for a moment, then shook his head again, and now he wasn't sure what Park Shenyong's second goods thought.
After taking out the ingredients, Lee Dong-seong began to cook his own dishes. Put the bright red tomatoes in boiling water, wait for twenty or thirty seconds, and immediately remove the tomatoes, at which point the tomato skin will naturally roll up. Li Dongcheng peeled the tomato skin and quickly chopped it.
This method of processing tomatoes is more common in Western food, because Western food is used as tomatoes, mostly to prepare sauces.
"It seems that Li Dongcheng wants to prepare ketchup. Zheng Ke said in a low voice.
Noodles and tomato sauce, if this is a Western-style dish, Zheng Ke will naturally think of pasta. However, there are some differences between this dish and pasta.
"Li Dongcheng isn't going to make pasta, right?" Suga Shino was a little confused again.
"No!" Zheng Ke said in a resolute tone.
Yin Xiuli, who was about to answer Suga Shino, was also stunned when she heard Zheng Ke's answer, "How can you be so sure?"
"Li Dongcheng chose not macaroni or pasta, but the most common dried noodles, and on Li Dongcheng's counter, there is a jar of red sauce, which should be hot sauce, right? Pasta generally does not use hot sauce, especially if there is seafood. ”
"Indeed, the hot sauce used by Lee Dong-seong is a Korean-style hot sauce, which is also very different from ordinary hot sauce. Yin Xiuli nodded again and again.
"Korean hot sauce?"
For example, the flavor of this hot sauce is very strong, and in the spicy, it reveals a hint of sweetness, and it is said that a certain amount of apples are placed in it.
"Player Zheng, what do you think of Player Li Dongcheng's cooking skills?" Yin Xiuli almost lay on Zheng Ke's back.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.
"Of course. As the two strongest people in Asia, your words are still very referential. Yin Xiuli nodded again and again.
"I didn't see his strength, when his cooking is ready, you can ask me again, right?"
Just looking at Li Dongcheng's preparation of sauce, Zheng Ke can't see the level of Li Dongcheng's cooking skills, but one thing is certain, if he chooses to make noodles, he will never use dried noodles, on the one hand, there is a suspicion of being lazy in doing so, on the other hand, no matter how good the dried noodles sold in the market are, they are always inferior to the noodles he made himself.
Therefore, when he saw Li Dongcheng using dried noodles, he was somewhat disappointed.
After Li Dongcheng stir-fried the spices, he added chili sauce, tomatoes and a small amount of water to the pot, covered the pot, and slowly boiled.
"The next step is to cook the noodles. Zheng Ke watched Li Dongcheng take another pot, and he had already guessed his intentions.
"Master Zheng, the Dun contestant over there fried all the mussels in oil. Suga Occupation reminded.
Zheng Ke immediately looked at Dun, at this time, Dun had already fished out the mussels from the oil pot, and the shellfish in each mussel was golden brown.
"It's really interesting. Zheng Ke pinched his chin and sighed in his heart.
"What's the matter, Player Zheng, do you see what's wrong?" asked Yin Xiuli behind her again.
"Mussels, in fact, are used more in Western food. But whether it is Li Dongcheng or Dun, they want to erase the shadow of Western food as much as possible. Lee Dong-seong uses Korean-style hot sauce, which is likely to mask the umami flavor of the mussels, while deep-fried mussels are rarely seen in Western food. From the current point of view, it is not possible to tell the winner of the two people. ”
Zheng Ke is really very fortunate that he can see this game with his own eyes. No matter what the cooking skills of the two people are, and the way the two people cook the ingredients, Zheng Ke has seen the practices of other cuisines.
"So, doesn't this mean that the cooking skills of the two people are almost the same?" Yin Xiuli's face suddenly became nervous.
"Tun's strength is not bad. The basic skills are very solid, even if it is Li Dongcheng, if he is careless, he may lose the game. Next, it's the key to the two dishes, who can handle the seasoning well, and who will win the game. Zheng Ke said in a deep voice.
"Seasoning?"
Yoon Suri and Suga Shino looked at the arena together, and the two players kept their heads down and kept busy.
