Xuanli swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried chicken and pork again.

Not only is the duck meat replaced by wild duck meat, but even the chicken has a tastier taste than regular chicken.

"Pheasant ......"

Xuanli bit her lip and endured the impact of the food. This delicious taste reverberates in the mouth and nasal cavity for a long time.

"Awesome...... I thought that after nearly a year in France, Chinese cuisine would be a little rusty, but I didn't expect to improve your cooking skills a lot...... Compared with before, it has risen more than one notch. Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke in surprise.

The dish in front of her brought her too much surprise, and the fragrance that penetrated people's hearts was like a rope, firmly imprisoning her body, and the more she broke free, the tighter the rope was tied.

"How can I learn the same thing? In Paris, I have never relaxed in my practice of Chinese cuisine. Zheng Ke explained.

He wants to open a three-star Chinese restaurant in Paris in the future, how can he lose Chinese cuisine?

"Yes. Xuan Li took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Ke, "You just said that you are not satisfied with this dish, why? ”

"This dish is Cantonese cuisine, and among the judges, there is also a master chef of Cantonese cuisine, and my opponent is the successor of a famous Cantonese chef. I'm going to win all the games. ”

"All competitions, isn't that the championship?"

Xuan Li looked up at Zheng Ke, but saw that Zheng Ke's eyes were firm, and he did not waver in the slightest from what he said just now, so he knew that he was definitely serious.

"Then what are the disadvantages of this dish?" Xuan Li then asked.

"Sister Li, do you know what ingredients are missing in this dish?" Zheng Ke asked rhetorically.

Xuan Li shook his head, "From my point of view, the taste of this dish is very good, and the heat and knife skills are also in place. ”

"These are just the most basic requirements. Zheng Ke took a deep breath and said slowly, "In this dish, there was originally dog meat, but I removed the dog meat. ”

"Remove the dog meat?" Xuan Li said in surprise and looked at the dish again, "Ah? it turns out that you are making ......"

Zheng Ke nodded, not picking out the words.

"But why did you get rid of the dog meat?" Xuan Li wondered.

"Actually, when I chose the ingredients, I really wanted to use dog meat, but Catherine strongly disagreed. At the time, I just followed her and promised not to use dog meat. But then I thought about the pros and cons and realized that I really should get rid of the dog meat.

"The French love dogs so much that they treat them as part of the family. And this edition of the-blue is a global live broadcast, which will surely be seen by French food lovers. Although there is a habit of using dog meat in some parts of France, as an out-of-tlander, I still want to avoid unnecessary risks. After all, I still want to open a restaurant in Paris. It would be unwise to make them disgusted. ”

Xuan Li nodded, this is indeed a very important reason.

"I didn't expect you to really plan to open a restaurant in Paris, this is very difficult. Xuan Li looked at Zheng Ke.

"Dreams are always there. Zheng Ke smiled and wiped his nose, "Besides, if Senior Sigong can do it, it means that I also have a chance." ”

"Yes. Xuan Li nodded, "But the taste of this dish does not have obvious shortcomings because of the lack of dog meat." ”

"Yes, it's because I replaced the regular chickens and ducks with pheasants and ducks, so the taste has improved a lot. Zheng Ke explained.

"And what are the shortcomings you are talking about?" asked Xuanli.

"The layering of the taste, if you didn't care about it just now, it means that the taste of the dish covers the taste. ”

Xuan Li suddenly covered her mouth when she heard Zheng Ke's words.

The taste of the dish just now was very delicious, but as Zheng Ke said, because the flavor of the food was so strong that when she tried it, she even forgot to taste it.

"Yes...... That's right...... Listening to you mention it, I have forgotten the texture of this dish now. When I tried it, I just took it for granted that this dish should taste like this. Xuan Li rubbed her chin and seriously recalled the taste of this dish, "It's really rare that you can detect this shortcoming." ”

Zheng Ke was also slightly relieved when he heard Xuan Li agree with his statement, "Actually, this is what I found out after trying the dishes three times." Moreover, after the replacement of pheasants and mallards, this feeling is even more pronounced. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know the reason for this problem.

"Ducks and pheasants are both birds, and even if there is a difference in taste, this gap is hidden by the rich aroma. Pork is loose and melts easily in the mouth. Therefore, the taste of these three main ingredients may be overlooked when tasting. ”

"Then what are you going to do?" asked Xuan Li, puzzled.

"I have two approaches in mind now. The first is to remove one of the ingredients from the duck and pheasant, so that the aroma will be reduced. Then add beef to enhance the layering of the texture of the dish, and at the same time, the taste will not be too bad.

"There is another way to add beef directly to it, but you can only determine how it tastes after tasting it. Zheng Ke explained.

Xuan Li listened to Zheng Ke's words, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, "Beef is not good, change another ingredient." ”

"Why?" Zheng Ke wondered.

"Beef is indeed more chewy and springy, but it also has a downside, it is slightly coarser compared to other ingredients. I think you can add ingredients directly to it, but the ingredients can't be beef...... In fact, the reason why the whole dish has the problem you mentioned is because of the lack of the delicate and elastic taste of dog meat, as a contrast. Can you replace dog meat with other ingredients?" Xuan Li explained.

"I think so too, isn't it that I can't find the right ingredients?" Zheng Ke smiled bitterly.

"Dog meat is delicate and dense, which means that the ingredients that replace dog meat also need to have an excellent taste. Moreover, dog meat is able to produce a lot of calories to withstand the cold, and now it is winter, which is the best season to consume dog meat. So, it's best that kind of ingredients also have this property. Xuan Li explained.

Zheng Ke filtered these contents in his brain, and compared the ingredients he knew with one by one, and one ingredient gradually became clear in his mind.

"Understood, I seem to have thought of it. Zheng Ke muttered to himself.

"I thought about it too. Xuan Li also replied.

The two looked at each other and smiled almost at the same time.

Although they didn't say it, the two were almost sure that they were talking about the same ingredient.
