Episode 158 Zheng Ke's killer feature
The fragrant meat rolls sit neatly on the plate, and around the slices of meat is a rich sauce, and inside the sauce, several dark brown umeboshi are placed.
Compared to Takami's puff pastry grilled salmon, this dish doesn't have many side dishes, except for the parsley sprinkled in the broth, there are no extra side dishes, and the color is more earthy than puff pastry grilled salmon. However, without the gorgeous decorations, Zheng Ke's cuisine still attracted the attention of the three judges.
"Pork stew with plum in white wine?" Joshua bit his lip tightly, his eyes almost misty, "Well, meat rolls usually add other ingredients to them, and this dish should be the same." ”
"After frying, the outside of the meat rolls has a bright sheen and a fragrant sauce...... It emits an enticing scent. Aviund's cheeks flushed, too.
"Just smelling the fragrance melts your body......"
The three of them picked up their knives and forks in unison, and eagerly cut off a small piece of meatloaf, dipped it in the sauce, and chewed it gently.
The rich sauce flows inside the mouth after chewing, and the exquisite taste touches every nerve of the judges. Under the impact of the food, the three judges were ruddy and couldn't even speak.
Absolon stared at the big screen dumbfounded, "No...... Wouldn't it? The judges couldn't speak?"
"Brother, I told you before, Zheng Ke's dish is very good. It's already over your level. Catherine glanced at Absolon with contempt.
Absolon looked depressed and tried to refute it, but the three judges on TV, who were also well-known in Paris, thought that it was impossible for the judges to make the dishes show such happy expressions.
Am I ...... I really can't do it? No, I must not let Zheng Ke surpass me!
Absolon clenched his fists and vowed to re-master his cooking skills when he returned to Paris.
Joshua stroked her cheeks, and her fair face was also slightly red at this moment.
The outer layer of the loin is fatty and mellow, and the rich juice and the loin together bring people the ultimate umami. Because of Zheng Ke's exquisite knife work, the thickness of the pork loin cut is the same, whether it is fried or baked, it does not affect the taste of the meat roll.
Booker's attention was focused on the ingredients inside the meat rolls.
It is also full-bodied, but on the palate it is more delicate. The pork loin is not made with mushrooms or other vegetables, but chicken.
After chopping the minced chicken, it is pureed in a blender with egg whites, pepper, salt, etc., and then the fresh milk is added to the dish to let the flavor of the milk permeate the whole dish, and then spread on the pork loin and roll it into a meat roll. Therefore, the chicken wrapped in the meat roll not only has a delicate and smooth texture, but also adds layers to the flavor. It's addictive and wants to eat it all the time......
Wait a minute...... Where does this slightly sour taste come from?
Booker's eyes widened suddenly, his gaze locked on the small black-brown lump on the surface of the sliced meat.
"It's ...... Prunes?" Booker looked up at Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke nodded, "That's right, this ingredient is dried plums." Adding this ingredient to a rich dish not only ensures a refreshing taste but also stimulates the appetite. ”
"And so it was. Booker gripped his fork tightly and stared at the dish in front of him, trying to savor it slowly, but soon, under the onslaught of the delicacy, he could no longer bother to taste it carefully, and instead cut off a large piece of beef roll and stuffed it into his mouth.
Avind closed his eyes and quietly savored the delicacy as the ingredients came to his mind.
Onions, carrots, celery...... After stir-frying until soft, dilute with white wine. Simmer for a while, pour in the tomatoes, beef stock and spice bunches and simmer slowly.
This wonderful combination results in a sauce that is already indulgent, and at the end, add a refreshing sweet and sour umeboshi to the pot...... The artistic conception of the whole person gradually blurred.
This rich fragrance seems to be a black hole, completely absorbing people's consciousness.
"You two, each of you have a little time to think, and then, write the names of your supporters on the board. Booker picked up the napkin and wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, the plate in front of him was empty.
The Ransil brothers nodded, picked up the whiteboard and oil-based pen, and after a little contemplation, wrote the names of the people on the whiteboard.
"This time, Zheng Ke should be able to win, right?" Hua Zemu frowned slightly, and unconsciously, sweat was still oozing from his hands.
"It's hard to say, I think Booker is better at talking, but with that pair of twin babies here, no one can say until the end. Absolon's brow furrowed, remembering that when he was in Lanji, he and a classmate cooked at the same time, and as a result, after getting an early vote, the twins voted against it, which directly led to the loss of the game.
This painful experience is still fresh in Absolon's memory, and to this day, he still hates the Ransil brothers very much.
"Zheng Ke is not you, there must be no problem. Catherine glanced at Absolon dissatisfied.
Absolon was about to retort to Catherine when he heard a noise of chatter around him, and then, after the first person applauded, the others applauded.
Catherine and Absolon hurriedly looked at the big screen, and the cards of the three judges appeared in their field of vision.
"Zheng Ke?" Catherine blinked, and quickly understood, "Zheng Ke won!"
"I'll go, this kid did a good job, 3:0, it's really morale-boosting!"
"Much better than you. Akane Kubo Momo squinted at Hanazawa Mu with an unhappy expression.
"Hey, I was careless. Hanazawamu retorted.
Akane Kubo Momo grimaced, so angry that Hanazawa almost jumped up.
When Gao Jian'an in the arena saw this dish, he was stunned, and when the three judges stood up and were about to leave, he immediately stopped the judges.
"Judge, wait a minute!"
Booker was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gao Jian'an with a confused face, "What's the matter?"
"Yes! I ...... Is my cooking so bad? Not even a single teacher gave me a vote. Takami couldn't believe the result, and before the game, he had fantasized about the next week's game, but the result stopped there.
"Your food is not bad, it's much better than last week's food, it's of a very high standard, I like it very much. Booker nodded.
"Then why do I ...... Can't get a vote?"
"Oh, you say this...... Well, your cooking is good, but Zheng Ke's cooking is even better. Whether it is the selection of materials or the production method, he has a better level. Compared with your cuisine, the taste made by Zheng Ke is more pure. In this game, you don't complain if you lose. ”
