CH.166 Fierce Fight
As Dojima Silver said, Saito Masaki really chose the upper side of the fish, and it was the belly of the fish. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The flesh of the belly and back of tuna is not exactly the same.
The belly has more fat than the back, so it has a plump and sweet taste, while the fish on the back, especially near the backbone, is more chewy and more colorful because of the greater exercise.
However, for the average person, the taste of the abdomen is still better than that of the back.
The part chosen by Saito is the belly of the fish that is in the front.
The fish here has the highest fat content and tastes better than other places.
Asami's face was tense, her fists were clenched, her advanced knife skills and high-grade ingredients, under such a heavy attack, no one knew how long Zheng Ke could resist.
"Don't worry...... Now Zheng Ke is not confused, we should have more confidence in him. Ichishiki Hui patted Asami on the shoulder.
Asami nodded, and finally moved her gaze to Zheng Ke.
On Zheng Ke's operating table, there are a large pile of abalone shells, roughly looking at the past, there are about thirty or forty of them. Zheng Ke lowered his head and used a kitchen knife to dig out the abalone meat along the edge of the abalone shell, remove the viscera, and remove the shell muscle.
After all the abalone had been processed, Zheng Ke put the abalone shells into a pot and boiled them in boiling water. Next, 12 abalone shells are placed on a plate and formed in a circle.
Zheng Ke was extremely careful in every step, and he knew that any carelessness could make the whole game a complete failure, because his opponent was extremely strong.
Saito's strength is undoubted, especially in this match, he took out the bigeye tuna.
If it hadn't been for last night's practice, maybe he wouldn't have the strength to parry today, right? Even, until now, he was not sure of victory.
At this moment, most of his energy is focused on the kitchen knife in his hand, holding the abalone meat in one hand, carving the chrysanthemum knife on the side of the abalone close to the shell with the other, and then separating it from it.
More than 40 abalone meat, as well as its fast cutting, made the students and VIPs in the audience dizzy.
"That's too fast, isn't it?"
"Although it's not as shocking as Saito Zongming's knife work, this kind of delicate knife work is rare in Yuanyue School Park, right?"
"How can the strength of a person who can come this far be too bad? Don't you look down on Ishiki and Ji Zhiguo?"
The voices of the surrounding audience fell into Zheng Ke's ears word for word. But this time, his speed still did not decrease, and he handled the abalone in his hand with extremely fast movements.
After more than ten minutes, more than 40 abalone were all processed, and Zheng Ke took out winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, half of which were cut into fine dices, and half into elephant eye slices.
There was a complete tug-of-war between the two.
Just when Zheng Ke was boiling the razor clams, abalone, and boiling in boiling water, Saito Shineaki selected the tuna meat, which was bright in color, and on the light red slices of meat, marble-like textures appeared, and if you didn't look closely, you would think that these textures were frost and snow falling on the masonry.
"Sure enough, it was frost. Dojima crossed his fingers and placed them on the table, his eyes full of smiles.
There are many delicious parts of a tuna, but the most attractive parts are relatively limited, such as the belly meat located in the front of the fish body and the meat quality of the middle backbone, which are very good, and among these meats, the most attractive taste is the large fat.
Large fat, which is the fattest part of the tuna's belly, is plump, tender and fatty. Among them, the frost and snake belly are the most outstanding.
What Saito chose was the cream in the big fat.
"It's up to him to thaw. "Nagi Sowei is getting more and more energetic.
In many cases, tuna is caught in the near sea or in the open sea, so in order to ensure the deliciousness of the meat, it is usually gutted, bled and then immediately frozen (usually below -40 degrees Celsius) after being caught. Therefore, when it comes to eating, how to thaw it will become very crucial.
If the thawing is insufficient, there will be ice residue in the fish, and if the thawing is too much, it will affect the taste.
It is no exaggeration to say that the quality of tuna dishes is directly determined by the quality of thawing.
Saito uses a thermometer to prepare 1 liter of hot water at about 40 degrees Celsius, then adds 30 grams of salt, and then soaks the fish in the water for about a minute. Next, he takes the fish out of the water, washes the salt water off the surface of the fish with clean water, carefully cleans it with a dry cloth, wraps it in cotton cloth, and thaws it in the refrigerator.
"It's worthy of Saito Akira, who can even think of thawing at low temperatures. Dojima Gin was amazed, and Nagikiri's father and son kept nodding.
In addition to affecting the taste, another reason for the difficulty of thawing tuna is that the body fluids of the fish may flow out, resulting in markings or frost spots on the fish.
Thawing at low temperatures can indeed prevent such a situation.
The process of thawing takes about 30 minutes, so Saito took advantage of this time to process the sauce.
In the Ten Heroes Lounge, several Ten Heroes stared intently at the big screen.
"Senior Ye, what kind of cooking is Zheng Ke going to make?" I frowned for a long time, and after watching it for a long time, I didn't see what Zheng Ke was going to do.
"I don't know. He changed the ingredients, so it was not easy to confirm for a while. Ye Qiuling said.
"Changing ingredients in this game, isn't that too risk......y?" He simply didn't take this match to heart, knowing that his opponent was Saito-senpai, how could he rashly choose to make this dish?"
"What do you let him do? This is his fourth game in a row, how many high-level dishes do you think he can prepare in ten days? Besides, Saito has already used tuna, if you are Zheng Ke, what do you choose?"
Although Ye Qiuling still showed a cynical expression, it was obvious that she had some harsh criticism of Jiu Ji Ji.
Jiu Ji Teruki's face immediately turned red, he didn't know what to say, he lowered his head and was silent.
"Before, I only knew that your height was not enough, but now I find that your IQ is not enough......" Ji Zhiguo Ningning sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Die, you panda eyes!" roared for a long time.
"No, it's just that I stayed up late. Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning touched the lenses, and his eyes were still a little sore.
"Don't quarrel with the two seniors, let's watch the game, right?" Erina Nagikiri smiled wryly.
After a long time, Ji Zhao snorted coldly and turned his head, while Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning held his eyes and continued to look at the big screen.
