CH.77 Their Respective Weapons
Just as Zheng Ke was talking to Takeshi Ueda and the others, the staff brought up the dishes that Nakazato Jino and Kota Anzai needed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The ingredients of Nakazato Zhineng are mainly seafood, lobster, sea urchin, mozuku and other ingredients are placed on the table one by one.
Just looking at these ingredients, Zheng Ke doesn't know what dishes Nakasato can make, but according to Nakazato Zhineng's previous cooking style, it may still be Japanese food.
On the other side, Kota Anzai also took out his own ingredients.
Beef, eggs, onions, bay leaves, dashi...... It seems that Kota Anzai is going to cook French cuisine.
The showdown between Japanese and French cuisine is something to watch.
As Zheng Ke speculated, Nakasato still chose Japanese food in this game.
After turning on the fire, Nakasato can add kelp and boiling water to the soup pot and boil it.
"Head over the soup ......" Zheng Ke looked at the big screen intently and muttered to himself.
Touban soup, also known as chuzu, is a commonly used side soup in Japanese cuisine. The ingredients are also very simple, kelp and bonito flakes. At the time of production, the kelp and bonito flakes are boiled twice.
Although it is easy to say, this kind of adjunct soup is very important for the control of the heat.
If you don't boil for a long time, the flavor of kombu and bonito flakes may not dissolve in the soup, and if you cook it for too long, the flavor of the soup will appear too strong, or even have a strange smell, and the soup will become cloudy.
However, there is not the slightest pressure on Nakasato Zhineng to do this.
Skillfully putting the kelp into the pot and boiling, and then taking advantage of the time to boil and absorb the flavor, Nakasato can start processing the winter melon.
He first cut the winter melon into small long pieces, peeled it and then cut it into a grid-like pattern on the surface of the winter melon pieces, and the skillful knife technique made Zheng Ke have to sigh.
"Mr. Zheng, Nakasato seems to have cut off the edges and corners of the winter melon pieces. Ren Kuriyama said.
"Well, these are the little details in the cooking, so you can make sure that you don't get out of shape when you boil it. Usually few people may notice this, but when the strength of two people is almost the same, the competition is the details. Zheng Ke explained.
Today's Zhongli governance is more eager to win than a few days ago. His knife skills are already excellent, and these details make it difficult to find a breakthrough in the dishes he makes, which are like the iron walls of a copper city.
What a tricky opponent.
Zheng Ke frowned, Zhonglizhi can give people the feeling that he is like a hedgehog, and he has no way to say it.
Of course, his opponent is also very strong, after all, it was the semi-finals of last year's national competition, and without using Chinese cuisine, his cooking skills are also among the best in the Kanagawa division.
Among the two people, if you have to choose an opponent who you don't want to meet the most, Zheng Ke's choice is - Zhongli Zhineng.
Uncle, although I hated you before, but this time I will support you once, don't let me down.
Zheng Ke looked at Kota Anzai, who was wielding a bone chopping knife and kept chopping beef, and prayed silently in his heart.
The boning knife slashed on the cutting board, making a dull sound, and the chopped beef flew into the air from time to time, making people a little frightened.
After chopping the beef into minced meat, Kota Anzai puts the ground beef into a soup bowl, adds refined salt, pepper, chicken fat, eggs and other ingredients, waits until it is well stirred, then pours in a small amount of water, continues to stir, and purees the meat.
"This uncle is also strange, if it is to make beef soup, it is better to make pork rib soup, how can there be such trouble?" asked Ueda Takeshi puzzled.
Zheng Ke bowed slightly, and for a while, he couldn't guess what Anzai Huangtai wanted to do. However, for now, it looks a bit like making meatballs.
However, as a chef in his thirties, Kota Anzai must have his own opinions on cooking, and when he makes it, he will know his intentions.
Judging from the current progress, Kota Anzai and Nakasato have definitely learned from the experience of Komuro's failure, and both of them have a very high level of cooking, so the time consumed is also more than the first game.
About an hour passed, and the two of them were only halfway there.
On the judges' bench, the three judges stared intently at the stands. Because they are so close to the competition venue, the smell of the food can easily waft over.
"This one tastes so good. Matsubara's eyes narrowed, but there was a slight pain in his expression.
Obviously, I had eaten Zheng Ke and Komuro's food not long ago, but now, my stomach is hungry again.
"This rich aroma is probably from Kota Anzai's cuisine. Chi Songxing sniffed twice with a thick nose.
Sweating profusely, Akira Anzai kept stir-frying the ingredients, and the fragrance continued to escape from the pot.
Smelling this, the bodies of the three judges were about to float. They really wanted to go on stage and see Kota Anzai's cooking, but in the end, reason restrained the impulse.
If you solve the mystery now, there will be no novelty when you try it.
"Hey, the Nakazato player is dealing with lobsters. ā
"Also, my favorite thing to eat is lobster, the meat is delicate, the flavor is fluffy, and it is really delicious. ā
"Don't say it, my stomach is full. ā
When Zheng Ke heard the words in the audience, he immediately looked at Nakazato Zhineng.
I saw that he held the lobster with his left hand, and the kitchen knife in his right hand pierced the connection between the shrimp head and the shrimp body, and stabbed it hard to remove the shrimp head. Then, in the same way, three lobsters are decapitated, then placed on a plate, sprinkled with sake, and steamed over a hot fire.
"What do you think of the cooking of these two people?" asked Takeshi Ueda, who was sitting in the front row, turning his head.
"It's good, whoever wins, it's going to be a tough fight. Zheng Ke said.
"Mr. Zheng, which player do you support?" said Ren Kuriyama, who leaned over and asked.
"Me...... Actually, it doesn't matter, no matter who the opponent is, it doesn't have much impact on me. Zheng Ke shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed.
However, deep down in his heart, he still prefers Kota Anzai.
"Huh, when I heard Xiao Ke say this, I was relieved. Ueda Takeshi let out a sigh of relief, and his body suddenly became a lot lighter.
When Ueda Takeshi turned his head, Ruishan said in a low voice, "Even if it's you, I'm afraid tomorrow won't be easy, right?"
"Then who knows?" Zheng Ke shook his head, "Wait until tomorrow, the answer will be revealed soon?"
Ruishan Zhizu also snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Just as the two of them were arguing, Kota Anzai began to plate the dishes, and then raised his hand, "Judge, my cooking is finished." ā
