CH.218 Yellow Braised Eel
Cheng Huaizhi's dishes, when they were still on the tray, their rich fragrance had already entered the noses of the three judges.
A kind of refreshment from the inside out, quickly emanating from the body, every pore seems to have undergone a baptism, making people feel happiness and ease from the heart.
Cheng Huaizhi put the dish in front of the three judges, "Teacher, this is Su cuisine, yellow stewed eel, please use it slowly." ”
The rich sauce wraps around the eel, and after repeated stewing, the eel exudes a brownish sheen, and the eel segments are arranged in pieces. Bamboo shoots, fungus, and peas are boiled together with the soup and poured over the eel meat, giving it an indescribable deliciousness.
Just smelling the fragrance just now already made the three judges salivate. And after seeing the dishes, their eyes brightened.
After pouring the rich sauce, the whole dish was fragrant and fresh, and the fragrance wafting upwards was endless, so that the three judges almost couldn't control themselves.
"This dish is ...... Yellow stewed eel?" Eddie was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and put the eel meat into his mouth, "Huh?"
Add's eyes widened, and his face turned crimson, and the rich sauce flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he was unconscious.
The world of food made of eels suddenly unfolded in front of him, and he felt overwhelmed for a while.
No...... It's not that I'm overwhelmed, but it's ......
I suddenly had a feeling in my heart that he was so familiar with this food world. Every piece of land in this place is inextricably linked to him.
Delicious!
A variety of fragrances, in the next moment, burst out from the depths of his heart.
The smell of all kinds of fragrant aromas gushes out like a tide.
Numerous spices, combined with each other, and the layers of aroma are superimposed, bursting out with amazing deliciousness.
The delicious eel meat gradually spreads out in the mouth without chewing, seeping into every part of the mouth, and the eel skin quickly captures the taste buds of the judges because of its fatty taste.
What made them even more irresistible was the sauce wrapped in the surface of the dish. With the chewing and tongue stirring, the aroma of the sauce is revealed layer upon layer on the palate.
"It's a perfect dish, I can't put it into words. Green onion, ginger, soy sauce, garlic cloves...... This spice is perfectly stacked with the delicious meat of the eel, which is boiled with lard and cooked lard, and the rich flavor envelops the eel. Even after swallowing, this deadly fragrance still reverberates in the mouth. ”
Eastward Road closed his eyes tightly, and the onslaught of the food storm made him almost forget where he was.
"The surface of the eel meat also has a layer of liquid, but at the moment this layer of liquid is as delicate as gelatin. After entering the mouth, the soft touch of the gum touches the tip of the tongue, making people feel a burst of comfort, and the taste of sweet and then salty gradually spreads in the taste buds, making people unable to extricate themselves. Charum's eyes sparkled, and he looked at the eel meat in front of him in surprise, "I want to ask, what kind of juice is this?"
Cheng Huaizhi said softly: "Judge, this is marinade." ”
"Marinade?"
The three judges were stunned for a moment, pondering the origin of this sauce.
"Ahem, to put it simply, is a sauce mixed with a variety of herbs. ”
Cheng Huaizhi didn't say it explicitly, and after hearing Cheng Huaizhi's explanation, the three judges nodded slightly, and did not ask any further, but continued to taste the dishes in front of them.
"Senior Sister Xuanli, Cheng Huaizhi's dishes seem to be really good. Yoshino Yuhime's brows furrowed, and his expression was even a little impatient.
Xuan Li touched her chin and bowed slightly.
"I remember just saying, Cheng Huaizhi's dish is very good, after all, he is in the Oriental School Park, and he is also one of the top students, and his strength cannot be outstanding. As for this dish, the gist of it is in the name of the dish. ”
"The name of the dish, senior sister mean, yellow stewed eel?" said Xingping in surprise.
"That's right. As the name suggests, Cheng Huaizhi used the technique of 'stewing'. Xuan Li explained, "'Braised 'is a cooking method of Chinese cuisine, which can be roughly divided into oil stew, red stew and yellow stew according to its color or seasoning. The method is not simple, and it is very particular about the heat. What kind of 'stew' is determined by the added seasonings, and different simmering methods are suitable for different ingredients. ”
Xingping listened to Xuanli's words and also fell into deep thought.
Chinese cuisine is very particular about fire.
If what Xuan Li said is the truth, I'm afraid Cheng Huaizhi's dishes are close to perfection, right?
Que Zhengqing saw the dishes served by Cheng Huaizhi, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Cheng Huaizhi cooked this yellow braised fish, and he should be able to win this game.
Even though he didn't try the dish, he said it was delicious. However, the three judges showed a look that they did not have when they tried other dishes. That kind of extreme enjoyment made him full of expectations for Cheng Huaizhi's dishes.
It should be a 100% perfect dish.
Add once again put a bite of eel meat into his mouth, and every cell in his body seemed to be full of vitality.
No matter how many times he tried it, the fragrant eel still held his taste buds tightly.
It's really delicious. But......
"For ...... Why?" Eddie raised his head and looked at Cheng Huaizhi suspiciously, "I thought that the texture of the fish with the skin of the eel would become firm, but the skin of the eel in this dish is extremely fatty and beautiful, and the taste of various spices seems to be interspersed with the eel...... Could it be that this taste is just because of the yellow stew?"
Que Zhengqing in the stands heard this, and the smile on his face became thicker.
Someone finally saw the most important point.
"This dish has been re-burned. Cheng Huaizhi said simply.
"Re-burn?" Eddie was stunned, a little unclear.
"Generally speaking, 'yellow stewed eel' is a process of eel that has been initially processed, simmered with various seasonings and fresh soup, and then simmered over low heat after the soup boils. But this dish has one more procedure - changing the pot. ”
Add rubbed his chin and frowned.
Because the pictures he saw on the big screen were intermittent, and he had to focus on watching other people's games, coupled with his distraction from time to time, he didn't have a clear cooking process for Cheng Huaizhi's dishes.
"At first, the eel pieces are simmered in a large pot so that the fish is mixed with other ingredients, but later in the process of removing the juice, the eel pieces are put into a small pot and continue to simmer. The flavors of various spices are then immersed in the fish. ”
Because the process is too complicated, Cheng Huaizhi can only briefly describe the cooking process. But Eddie nodded repeatedly, for a chef, it is not easy to explain the process to this point in public.
Yellow stew, re-roasted, eel, marinade......
The words swirled in Eddie's mind.
After eating the last piece of eel in his mouth, he also put down his fork.
