Episode 328 Suckling Pigeon
"Whole chicken out of bones" is a technique that tests knife skills very much.
Many judges will judge the chef's knife skills based on the skillfulness of the whole chicken bones.
On the judges' seat, Mo Xiaohe squinted his eyes and stared at Que Zhengqing intently.
Cantonese cuisine, as one of the eight major cuisines, also pays attention to knife work, and there are also some dishes that will use the knife technique of the whole chicken out of the bone.
It's just that in Cantonese cuisine, "whole chicken out of the bones" is usually called "whole chicken".
Mo Xiaohe, as a master of Cantonese cuisine, of course, knows all about these contents.
"Teacher Xiao, Dongfang's level is really powerful, such a young student, the knife work can be so exquisite. Mo Xiaohe touched his mustache and said softly.
"Mo Lao is overrated. His technique is still a little rusty, it should not be as good as Liu Haolin, in comparison, Mo Lao is really powerful, and he trained a chef who had just turned 18 years old into the second place in U18. ”
Xiao Han also knows a thing or two about this kind of "business blowing", but he usually doesn't like to do this, but Mo Xiaohe is his senior, and it is not much of a problem to blow Mo Xiaohe.
After listening to Xiao Han's words, Mo Xiaohe remained silent, but his eyes already showed a little smugness.
"Actually, it's already very good for this little chef to do this. After all, Sichuan cuisine is not known for knife work, so everyone's requirements for him should not be as good as those who are good at Su cuisine and Cantonese cuisine. Chen Yuwen said.
"Chef Chen, I personally think that Que Zhengqing is still relatively young, and there will be a long way to go. Now, the most important thing for him is how to face himself. These experiences are invaluable to him now. After graduating, he became the head chef of the restaurant, and even if he wanted to correct his shortcomings, he didn't necessarily have time. Knowing your weaknesses ahead of time isn't necessarily a bad thing. Xiao Han said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuwen was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned her head to look at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han, as a teacher in the East, was somewhat surprised that she would have such high requirements for her students in international competitions.
Therefore, she wondered if Xiao Han was just saying polite words, or if he really thought so.
However, Xiao Han's expression was indifferent, just looking at his expression, he couldn't guess his thoughts at all.
"Ahem...... Actually, that's what I think. Because the microphones of the three people were not turned on, he had no taboos, "Tomorrow, it will be Liu Haolin's competition, and I hope the two teachers will not care about my feelings." Only by facing up to the shortcomings can we go further. Also, I don't like to influence the outcome of the game. ”
Chen Yuwen was confused when she heard the words of the two people.
What the hell happened to these two people? What they said felt a little confusing. More importantly, who knows if the two people are telling the truth or the scene?
Chen Yuwen was unpredictable, and finally made up her mind to treat the two of them as if they were telling the truth.
On the field, Que Zhengqing was still engrossed in the whole chicken bones, while Bayer was also cooking its own.
After the start of the competition, he focused on the ingredients, and the cooperation between each other was indescribably coordinated and natural, and every movement was just right, trying to ensure the most essential taste of the ingredients.
Put the apricots in boiling water, boil them a little, take them out immediately, and put them in ice water. Under the sudden change in temperature, the apricot peel wrinkled.
Bayer quickly peels off the apricot skin and cuts the flesh into pieces.
He then mixes the stock with the eggs to make the soup.
After doing this, Bayer also brought the other ingredients to the counter.
The sausages, chestnuts, peppers, salt, and other ingredients were mixed with the chopped apricot meat and mixed in a blender.
Marcus sat in the audience, looking a little nervous.
Although Bayer has graduated from Lanji, he is still a student of Lanji after all. Moreover, Lanji has always attached great importance to the performance of students after graduation, which is the foundation of Lanji based in France and even Europe.
Of course, Bayer's strength is very strong, but Que Zhengqing's strength is not weak, especially here, this is Huaxia, and the judges are also chefs in Huaxia. This makes the outcome of the game a little more variable.
When Bayer finished the filling, he also took out the most important ingredients for this competition.
Suckling pigeon!
Seeing the cleaned pigeons, Aenil was slightly stunned, but she didn't understand what Bayer was going to cook.
Bayer, on the other hand, applies salt and pepper to the surface of the pigeon, seasons it, and then stuffs the freshly stirred filling into the belly and applies cream to the surface of the pigeon.
Next, Bayer's operation should be to bake the pigeon in the oven.
Aine's gaze then shifted to Que Zhengqing.
She knows Que Zhengqing's strength, and she must be better than her, but she shouldn't be Bayer's opponent, right?
She still has some confidence in this.
"Whew. ”
After pulling out the last chicken leg bone, Que Zhengqing also breathed a sigh of relief, although the game had just begun, the clothes on his back were already soaked with sweat.
However, so far, he is very happy with his performance today.
This whole chicken bone extraction of the hen should be the most perfect one he has done this year.
Next, Que Zhengqing began to marinate the chicken with Shao wine, refined salt and other condiments.
"Awesome. ”
Xuan Li, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise when she saw this.
"Chef Xuan, how is the performance of the contestant Que?" Bai Shilong hurriedly asked as soon as he heard Xuan Li's surprised voice.
As a host, the most feared thing is an awkward conversation, which means that the two of them have no topic to talk about at all.
In order to avoid being cold, Ryuichi Shiraishi tried to find some topics related to the game, but after looking for two or three, he didn't know what the next topic would be.
Hearing Xuan Li's exclamation, Bai Shilong took the opportunity to change the topic to Xuan Li.
"The whole chicken is out of the bones, and the level is very high. Xuan Li explained.
"Hmm. I know that Chef Xuan is also good at Sichuan cuisine, so can you introduce the highlights of Que Player's operation, where is it?" asked Shiraishi Ryuichi.
"Look at the chicken bones. Xuan Li reminded.
Chicken bones?
Bai Shilong glanced at the chicken bones on the screen and didn't find anything strange.
"'Whole chicken out of the bones' is different from the normal way of processing chicken. It is the processing of chicken bones from the inside of the chicken without destroying the shape of the chicken. Therefore, it is not so easy to achieve 'bone without flesh'.
"In addition, there are two measures of 'whole chicken out of bones'. One is that the chicken belly can be filled with water, and the second is that the knife edge should be controlled within a certain range. These two points, the players also met the standard. Unexpectedly, the strength of the players is still so strong. Xuan Li explained.
Bai Shilong suddenly realized, as Xuan Li said, being able to do this step shows that Que Zhengqing's strength is already very strong.
