CH.138 Western Food?

"How about this dish?" Zheng Ke put a bowl of soup in front of Catherine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The clear soup has a slight layer of oil, and the fat duck kidneys are boiled for a long time, and the aroma is mouth-watering. In addition, the fragrant lean pork is interspersed with duck kidneys, adding to the depth of the dish.

"Yes, whether it is duck kidney or lean pork, after a long time of boiling, the texture is soft, and its own nutrition is completely integrated into the soup, coupled with the sweet and sour taste produced by hawthorn, which stimulates people's appetite, and at the same time, it also makes the soup no longer so greasy, but has an urge to eat it in a big gulp. Catherine closed her eyes and felt the pleasure of the deliciousness.

"So, this dish is okay?" Zheng Ke said in surprise.

"In terms of taste, I think it's already a very high standard. However, I still don't recommend this dish. Catherine opened her eyes and folded her arms around her chest.

"Why?" Zheng Ke said puzzled, "It tastes good...... After the next four or five days of calibration, you should be able to make a good soup, right?"

Zheng Ke's qualification is actually a dish that can beat Takasugi Shouji.

"However, you're running out of time - it took you four hours to prepare this dish, and that's not counting the ingredients, and even if you compress the time, you can't finish it in three hours. Catherine reminded.

Zheng Ke listened to Catherine's words and suddenly lost his temper. To be honest, he can make some dishes that taste good, but the length of the competition is a very big limit. Ever since the last time the 'boiling cabbage' was made, he had noticed the problem. Last time, the opponent was Nakazato Zhino, although the cooking skills are not bad, but obviously not comparable to Takasugi Shouji, if you repeat the 'boiling cabbage' kind of cuisine again, it is estimated that you will lose very badly.

However, if the Chinese soup is not boiled for a long time, the deliciousness of the ingredients cannot be fully brought into play.

"Would you like to try Western food?" reminded Catherine.

"However, it would be too risky to use Western food on such an occasion. Zheng Ke frowned, thinking about Catherine's proposal.

A few months ago, he went on a trip to France and studied Western cuisine for a month with three-star chef Orens. Although he is usually more confident in his Western food, if the opponent is Takasugi Shouji, he still feels that Chinese cuisine is more secure.

"You should have a 'God's Heart,' right?" Catherine said suddenly.

"How do you know? Oh, by the way, you've been eating my food for the past two days. Zheng Ke patted his forehead.

"Since you have the bonus of 'God's Heart', I think you should also have a good effect if you switch to Western food, do you want me to give you a few recipes?"

"If you give me a recipe, please go out. ”

No matter what aspect it is, Zheng Ke is still more interested in this game, so it is impossible to allow himself to accept Catherine's proposal. However, there is one point, Zheng Ke is quite interested.

"You should also have the heart of God, right?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Yes, so I always bring out the best in my cooking. Catherine admitted very dryly.

"That's not the same as mine...... I want to ask, how do you control your divine heart?" Zheng Ke asked curiously.

"I don't know. Since I was born, I have had the heart of God. Catherine shook her head, her face very confused.

It turned out to be innate.

Zheng Ke looked depressed, originally, he still hoped to get from Catherine. Knowing something about the 'heart of God', it seems that I am thinking too much about it.

"It is precisely because I have tasted the 'heart of God' from your food that I think that even if you cook a Western dish, it will definitely be very good. Three hours, it may be a bit hasty to make an excellent Chinese soup, but there should be more choices of Western food. ”

Zheng Ke nodded.

This is not to say that the soup of high-end Western food takes less time than the soup of Chinese cuisine, but that the most time-consuming part of Western soup is the stock, but the soup stock can be prepared in advance, and the other ingredients can be cooked with the stock until the competition. This is not the case with Chinese cuisine, many times it is necessary to cook soup on the spot or simmer it over low heat, and when the soup is ready, it is the finished product, so the process of boiling the soup must be carried out during the competition.

In this way, the time spent on the field will appear to be relatively short.

If you choose Western food, what ingredients do you use? seafood, vegetables, beef, or whatever?

If you choose seafood, shellfish, or fish and shrimp, and if you choose vegetables, what kind of vegetables?

These choices appeared in Zheng Ke's mind one by one, so that Zheng Ke could not make adjustments quickly.

"Whew. Zheng Ke unbuttoned his apron.

"What's wrong?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Well, take a break. It's time for lunch, isn't it? Zheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh. Catherine looked at Zheng Ke's gloomy face, and her mood became worse, and she wanted to get started in person and help Zheng Ke make this dish. But Zheng Ke also said before that if he reached out to help him, he would kick her out.

Therefore, Catherine is also anxious and unable to use her strength.

Zheng Ke ordered a beef stew and a bread in the restaurant, and then found a round table to sit down. Not far away, Absolon stood next to the pool in his beach pants, greeting the girls around him.

This guy is still like this...... In Huaxia dialect, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, is this what he is talking about?

However, if you think about it, he hasn't seen much of Absolon's cooking since he played him.

In that competition, the theme was also soup, and he seemed to be making casserole tendon soup, so what kind of food did Absolon make?

Zheng Ke frowned, and couldn't think of it for a while.

"By the way, Catherine, what kind of soup did your brother make at last year's autumn qualifiers?"

"Last year, you say?" Catherine looked back for a moment, "it looks like Marseille seafood soup, what?

Zheng Ke shook his head, "How is it possible?"

Although he said this, Zheng Ke's mind still recalled the picture of the game at that time.

At first, Absolon seemed to use shrimp, cod, mussels, and saffron......

Zheng Ke's brows furrowed slightly, but in his mind, he was particularly interested in saffron.

This spice is extremely penetrating, maybe it has an unexpected effect?

"What's the matter?" Catherine saw Zheng Ke frowning, and was a little worried in her heart.

"Nothing...... Something else came to mind. Lunch is here, let's eat first. Zheng Ke was casually perfunctory, but in his mind he was thinking about what ingredients to use to match saffron with it.
