CH.87 The Gap in Cooking

The audience who was still shouting at Zheng Ke just now also calmed down and looked at the big screen one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Looking at the judges' expressions, it seems that this dish is not as ordinary as it seems on the surface."

"No matter how ordinary it is, it's boiling water and cabbage, does he still have meat?"

"Don't mess up, the teacher is going to comment soon, listen to what the teacher has to say first. ”

Nakasato also noticed that Zheng Ke's cuisine was a little different. Could it be that there are other strange things in this soup?

"Haha...... As I thought, the most important part of this dish is the soup. Kota Anzai licked his lips with a smile on his face.

And Takeshi Ueda and Ruishan were already planning to give up, but after hearing the judges' words, everyone was in good spirits again - is there still a chance to save it?

Everyone's eyes are on the judges' bench, and this seemingly ordinary dish really hides a secret.

"What do you mean by boiling water?" Matsubara's mood eased, but the flavor of the soup remained in his mouth for a long time.

"In Chinese cuisine, or more specifically, in Sichuan cuisine, boiling water is not boiling water, but chicken soup. ”

"You mean this bowl is chicken soup?" Matsubara said in astonishment, looking down at the crystal clear soup, "but how can the chicken soup be so clear?"

"Of course it's possible!" Zheng Ke said categorically, "Before starting the formal cooking, blanch all the ingredients in different pots to remove blood and impurities, remove and wash them, and then put them in a large pot to boil, and then add ginger, green onions and other seasonings to remove the smell and enhance the taste." After a long period of slow boiling, the flavor of the chicken, scallops, ham, pork ribs and other ingredients completely flows into the soup. ”

"The boiled soup is strained to remove the residue and floating matter to obtain a clear broth. Then pour the clear soup into another pot, add the red paste (that is, lean minced meat) and white paste (chicken puree) in turn, and continue to boil, the turbidity in the soup will also be absorbed by the red and white seeds, this process is also called hanging soup. The soup in this dish is refined twice, so it is also called 'double hanging soup'. The flavor is definitely richer than that of regular dashi. ”

When Zheng Ke introduced the soup completely, the audience sitting around the judges' seat, the three judges, and even Zhongli Zhineng, who was standing not far away, were all silent.

After a while, Ruishan Zhijin also muttered, "I'll go, just rely on this bowl of soup, Zheng Ke's cuisine is enough to be 'feasted' by the judges." ”

Kondo's mind was a little cloudy, and he turned his head to look at Ezuya Ruiyama, "Is this soup really that powerful?"

"It's amazing. The shape is like white water, clear and transparent, and there is no greasy in sight, but the soup itself is indeed mellow and thick, such a soup is not a high-quality product, so what other cuisine is a high-quality product?" Ruishan Zhizu's face was also tense, and his brain was still digesting what Zheng Ke said.

"Although I knew that this soup was not easy to make, I never thought it would be so troublesome - I couldn't learn this dish. Kota Anzai shook his head, looking depressed.

Among the three judges, Sakuma was the first to come to his senses. She looked down at the spoon in her hand, the spoon that was not in the water was still visible.

"Clear and clear, nothing in the way. Sakuma Ruru scooped out a spoonful of soup, which was so delicious that it once again gave her tongue a very luxurious treat.

Akamatsu Xing picked up the chopsticks and looked at the two cabbage hearts in the soup pot. The color of the cabbage is fresh and tender, just like the heart of the cabbage that has just been picked, fresh and tender, and extremely lovely.

Could it be fresh, uncooked cabbage hearts? Possibly, or else the cabbage wouldn't be so tender...... However, just now he clearly saw Zheng Ke pouring the cabbage with the concoction - alas, it is unbearable that this exquisite soup is actually used to 'pour the cabbage'.

If you don't want the soup, give it to me.

Akamatsu sighed secretly, picked up a cabbage heart from the soup, and gently bit it down.

Well, the taste is okay, steamed and refreshing, although it looks relatively tender, but the cabbage is indeed cooked.

However, as he continued to chew, the crispness and tenderness of the cabbage, mixed with the fragrant soup, soon swept his body.

Beauty...... Delicious!

"Sparse but not rotten, the taste is fresh and tender, and the cabbage heart has been completely preserved. ”

"That's because the way to cook cabbage hearts is not just about boiling. Zheng Ke replied softly.

"Huh, you mean watering?" Chi Songxing remembered Zheng Ke's move of watering the cabbage just now.

"That's right, boil the cabbage in broth until it is seven ripe, and then blanch the cabbage to ensure that its color and shape are not damaged. Zheng Ke said.

Akamatsu clenched his teeth, trying to resist the deliciousness of the cabbage, but when he looked at the cabbage and the soup in the bowl again, his hands seemed to be uncontrollable, dividing the whole dish by two.

Ken Akamatsu was not the only one who lost his temper, the other two judges also quickly swallowed the whole dish into their stomachs, and then leaned back in their chairs with an expression of no regrets in their lives.

"It's delicious. The soup of this dish is fresh and delicious, and the preparation method is exquisite, and the cabbage heart is also fresh and refreshing. Although the food looks bland and no different from boiled cabbage, its beautiful taste is amazing. It also proves that it is worthy of the name of 'feast' cuisine. ”

Compared to the warm applause after Nakazato Nakazato accepted the review, after Sakuma commented on Zheng Ke, the scene was silent - everyone was shocked by this dish - if the three judges were telling the truth, then this dish was better than Nakazato Nakago's cuisine.

Although Nakasato's cuisine is also excellent, Nakasato's cuisine can be replicated.

Eiyama-edatsuya, Kota Anzai, and even Ren Kuriyama can make the shaved ice sea bream fillet of Nakazato Jino as long as they give them recipes and utensils. However, it may take more than three hours.

But Zheng Ke's cuisine is completely different, even with the recipe, no one is sure that he can make a soup stock that is as clear as white water.

This is the difference between the dishes.

At this time, Odaya also stepped onto the stage at the right time, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone has been waiting for four hours, and I am very much looking forward to the final result. Zheng Ke and Nakari Zhineng, there is only one person who can enter the national competition, so who will be the winner of this competition? Let's wait and see! Please ask the three judges to give your answers. ”

Nakazato Zhineng and Zheng Ke, the audience, Ruishan Ezutsuya and others also focused on the three judges.

Time seemed to stand still, and the three judges frowned, reminiscing about the two dishes.

After about half a minute, Sakuma Kiru raised his hand, "My choice is Zheng Ke." ”
