Chapter 198: Potato Salad Made Only with Potatoes
The simpler the ingredients, the simpler the method, the more the level of the school chef is examined. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Now Gao Xiaoleng and the food champion of the other group, Haruko Hanano, have encountered such a situation, if the previous level is a bit difficult, then the potato salad cooking in this level will be quite difficult.
Potato salad cooking is actually very simple, that is when all the ingredients are prepared, and now there is only one potato, which is perhaps the most simple ingredient ever made in potato salad cooking.
Gao Xiaoleng was cleaning the potato at the moment the starting gun sounded, and Haruko Hanano had already peeled off the potato skin.
When Haruko Hanano's peeled potato was cut into potato pieces, potato chips, and shredded potatoes, Gao Xiaoleng was still cleaning the potato.
What is this Gao Xiaoleng doing?
Because of Gao Xiaoleng's outstanding performance in the last level, he is now in the limelight, and this most influential cooking competition in Dongying is broadcast live to the world, not only those audiences under the big screen outside the classical building.
Although this show is just a food show, although it is impossible for people all over the world to watch it, at least senior foodies in China, Japan and South Korea are watching it.
And so many senior foodies have focused their attention on Gao Xiaoleng's body, so much focus, they are just watching Gao Xiaoleng keep cleaning potatoes, what kind of trouble is this?
By this time, Haruko Hanano had already started frying the potato wedges, and she was even fantasizing about the flowers and applause after she defeated the most important rival of the Hanamachi restaurant chain.
Gao Xiaoleng finally moved, because he was sure that he had cleaned the mud on the surface of the potatoes, but this potato naturally had to be peeled, so was it really necessary for the surface of the potato to be cleaned so cleanly?
It is necessary!
If someone asked Gao Xiaoleng at this time, he would definitely answer like this.
Although he didn't have the ridiculous idea of adding potato skins to the dish, he did have plans to use potato skins to cook soup.
The most crucial step in this potato salad is to pour cream over the platter at the end, but unfortunately the potato salad competition in this qualifier did not provide cream as an ingredient.
So, Gao Xiaoleng decided to use potato peel soup instead of cream.
Ten seconds later......
The potatoes that had been cleaned by Gao Xiaoleng for more than ten seconds had already turned into the ingredients he needed, and the potato skin was like a long silk scarf winding in the corner of the cooking table.
The peeled potatoes were cut into chunks, chips, shredded potatoes, and diced potatoes.
At first glance, the ingredients of the potato salad prepared by Gao Xiaoleng and Haruko Hanano are similar, aren't they all potatoes!
However, there is still a big difference when you look closely, not to mention that Gao Xiaoleng's hand speed is more than twice as fast as Haruko Hanano, and the surface finish of those cut potato ingredients is much higher than hers.
This is not the biggest feature of Gao Xiaoleng's ingredient preparation, the biggest feature of his preparation of ingredients is that there are two more places than her, one is to boil the soup on the potato skin, and the other is to cut those irregular potato slices on the edge into diced potatoes.
Diced potatoes are also called potato pudding, and most potato sofas will use carrot pudding, or use corn, green beans or something, but unfortunately none of these ingredients are available.
However, Gao Xiaoleng has studied the potato hundred and done, if he has enough time, he can also cut the potatoes into petals, but there is no need for that at this time, there is really no need for that, and now it is enough to defeat this woman who once caused trouble.
Gao Xiaoleng boiled the potato skin in clear water, and it was not until it was boiling that he fished out the potato skin, and at this time, the whole potato skin was still intact, which shows that Gao Xiaoleng's knife work has reached an unbelievable realm.
After taking out the potato skin, Gao Xiaoleng put the potato chips, shredded potatoes, and diced potatoes into the potato skin soup in turn to boil, which was put in turn, rather than poured in one go.
Because the diced potatoes are the smallest and the fastest to cook, they are the last to be put into the pot in order.
Of course, the person who can grasp the heat so carefully must be a master, and Gao Xiaoleng is such a master, his hand pouring the ingredients into the pot is very steady, watching the ingredients roll in the soup pot according to his expectations, he is very satisfied.
At this time, the potato skin soup is infused with the flavor of potato chips, shredded potatoes, and diced potatoes, and some people may question, the taste of these ingredients is not the taste of potatoes?
Actually, it's different, if you don't believe it, you can taste it separately.
Serving these ingredients, Gao Xiaoleng quickly passed the potato pieces into the soup again, and at this time, the soup in the pot was already relatively viscous, and I believe that when it cooled down, it would be similar to the form of cream.
Gao Xiaoleng took out the sticky soup and carefully brushed the wok to ensure that there would be no potato residue left in it.
Because Gao Xiaoleng will use this wok to boil oil next, the woks that boil the oil must be brushed clean, otherwise the remaining food residues will be turned into a charred paste in the process of boiling oil, although those burnt slags are very fine, but those burnt food slags are carcinogenic, and they also affect the taste, which is something that Gao Xiaoleng can't tolerate by a chef of this level.
When he boiled most of the bowl of oil until there was light smoke rising around him, Gao Xiaoleng began to fry the potato wedges, he was very skillful in this action, but he did not come nonsense because he was skillful, his expression of fried potato wedges was very focused, very attentive, and very confident.
Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, those potato pieces were fried by him and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, looking like gold bricks from the outside.
Then Gao Xiaoleng quickly arranged these prepared semi-finished products into a pattern like beautiful flowers, and the potato chips were the yellow leaves of this flower pattern, although they were not as verdant as green leaves, but they also revealed a sense of maturity that had been weathered for a long time.
In the end, Gao Xiaoleng poured the more viscous potato soup evenly on the potato salad pattern, and thus a plate of excellent potato salad came out.
At this time, Kumi Hanano, who was a little in a hurry, was also ready, and she was only a little in a hurry, because she quickly found that the other party's focused expression was very beautiful, and she even couldn't help but compare, appreciate, and admire.
In the end, she found that she was seriously behind in speed, so she ended hastily in a hurry, but judging from the process of workmanship, Kumi Hanano was already lost.
This time, it was an old woman with a kind face who personally held the potato salad made by Gao Xiaoleng, and the old woman could be so calm, it was a suffocating calmness.
