CH.33 Hanazawa Maki's Cooking
This time, the two sea breams brought by Hanazawa Mu have melted the ice on the surface, and they feel wonderful to the touch. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zheng Ke's eyes lit up, the quality of this fish was significantly higher than the sea bream he gave him yesterday.
"Both of you have got the tools and ingredients you need, and this exam is limited to two hours, so now the game begins!" Aoi Torii shouted, and the staff on one side also began to time.
Hanazawa lays the snapper flat on a cutting board, the chef's knife cuts through the belly of the fish to remove the internal organs of the snapper, and after rinsing the snapper in cold water, he removes the scaly fins and cuts the knife edge away from the back of the fish and down the bones.
How to quickly remove the fish steak is a very important thing, because if the operation time is too long, the taste on the hand may affect the freshness of the fish, resulting in a poor taste of the fish. Therefore, the basic skills of a chef are shown at this time.
"Senior Hanazawa's speed is so fast!"
"It's not just fast, haven't you noticed that Hanazawa is very familiar with the structure of sea bream?"
"Yes, every knife he uses can be close to the fishbone, not only is it fast, but the knife technique is also very stable. ”
"But what kind of cuisine does Hanazawa-senpai make? sashimi or sushi?"
"It's hard to say, but I remember Hanazawa-senpai, whether it's French cuisine or Japanese cuisine, he has a very high level. ”
Catherine watched Hua Zemu succinctly take out the fish steak, her brows furrowed slightly, and she bit her jade fingers lightly, revealing a kind of excitement in her heart.
Ten Masterpieces...... This is the Ten Masters......
As if seeing prey, Catherine's eyes watched Hanazawa's movements.
(I wish I could fight him...... )
"It's amazing. Isshiki muttered to herself, drawing Catherine's attention as well.
"Yes, this kind of basic skill is far better than others. Than you, than Zheng Ke, than Erina...... It's all going to be amazing. Catherine gave her a comment.
"Eh, what?" Yi Shihui was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of Catherine's words, "Oh, I'm talking about Zheng Ke." He is also very skilled in handling fish. ”
"Zheng Ke?"
Just now, I only cared about Hua Zemu's cooking, but I forgot about Zheng Ke, but if he was still yesterday's cooking, it might be difficult to even pass today.
Catherine moved her gaze to Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke used two sea bream, one fish just to remove the scales, gills, and internal organs, after washing, on both sides of the fish, every 4 centimeters of the straight knife edge, the other is to take out the fish steak. Just looking at the knife work, it is even sharper than Hua Zemu.
"This guy's knife skills have gone up. Catherine pouted, obviously caring about Zheng Ke's knife work, this competitive state, compared to yesterday, is like two people. The most obvious difference is that Zheng Ke exudes a fighting spirit and a desire for victory.
"It can also be said that Huaxia's knife work is still amazing. Isusei sighed, "It's on par with Hanazawa's predecessors, and the knife technique also plays a big role, right?"
And such a person is still in the same grade as himself, thinking of this, Yi Sehui's heart showed a wry smile. It's really annoying to have such an opponent.
Zheng Ke then hammered the fish steak into minced meat, added egg white, lard, stock and salt, stirred well, and divided into three parts.
"What kind of food is this? It's completely different from yesterday......" Catherine's eyes widened, her dishes yesterday were so different from today.
Could it be that Zheng Ke really reversed yesterday's cooking? This is too exaggerated, right? It only takes more than 20 hours to make a new dish?
However, whether Catherine believed it or not, Zheng Ke did go in another direction to cook today's cooking.
"One egg yolk, one part with green vegetable juice, one plain. Zheng Ke kept stirring in the three small basins, and when it felt even, he squeezed out fish balls the size of marbles.
What the hell does this guy want to do?
Catherine couldn't see through Zheng Ke's cooking more and more, and at this moment, a surprise suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Oh, it smells so good......"
"The flavor has a special fragrance with a slight sweetness. ”
Catherine looked back at Hanazawa Maki, who was stir-frying a white vegetable, and it was from this vegetable that this unique taste came from.
"Bulb fennel. Catherine raised a frown.
Bulb fennel, also known as sweet fennel, is native to Italy, and the cumin flavor is similar to the common spices in Chinese cuisine, but because this fennel has an oblate spherical stem, the taste is fresh and tender, crisp, and the flavor is sweet, and there is one more fragrance than cumin, which is generally used as a cold salad raw food. And at this moment, Hanazawa Mu is used as a side dish.
Wait until the fennel changes color and collapses, add a small amount of fennel leaves, and stir-fry over low heat.
This competition opened the eyes of the other students, seeing such a wonderful duel, they had no time to care, and their eyes were locked on Zheng Ke and Hua Zemu.
Although in terms of strength, Zheng Ke still has a lot of places to improve his level, but in the face of the fourth seat of the top ten masters, being able to do this step has proved his existence.
Time passed minute by minute, and the meal for two people was nearing the end.
Finally, after Hanazawa Mu packed the fish steak, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm done!"
On an oval-shaped plate, two slices of sea bream are placed, and in the middle of the two rows of fish are placed the previously fried fennel and fennel leaves. At the bottom of the plate, there is a layer of pale yellow sauce, and star anise is placed sporadically.
"I can't stand it anymore, I really want to taste it. Catherine licked her tongue and saliva ran down her throat.
Isshiki Hui also had a hot look, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw Aoi Torii gently cut off a piece of fish.
In front of the food, anyone will be impressed by its charm.
This is the voice of the surrounding students, and it is the most direct feeling of Aoi Torii.
The delicate sea bream is dipped in fennel sauce and has a delicious aroma that pierces the heart.
"The fish stock, chopped star anise, butter to add the consistency of the sauce, pepper, salt to taste, and finally ouzo to make the fennel sauce. The rich sauce and the delicious sea bream meat complement each other perfectly.
"Again, the pan-fry of the fish steak is equally exquisite. The steak is marinated in a saucepan and is constantly poured with olive oil to keep the fish moist while it is being fried.
"Also, the processing of fennel is also just right, the taste is tender and crisp, the taste is sweet and fragrant, and the heat is also in place. The delicious fish steak is paired with refreshing fennel, and the rich flavor makes you can't help yourself. ”
Of course, the impact of this dish on Aoi Torii is more than that, but she can't fully describe the taste, so she can only endure the impact of the delicious taste on her and express her feelings.
