CH.142 Juice and Stock

In the process of taking out the ingredients, Cao Jingxu has been thinking about a problem.

How exactly is he going to cook this dish, is it cooked according to Zheng Ke's method, or is it at his own pace?

After thinking about it again, Cao Jingxu decided to give up the idea of imitating Zheng Ke.

Because, no matter how similar he is, he will never be better than Zheng Ke, not to mention, he is not very good at Chinese cuisine.

After determining the idea, Cao Jingxu's heart was still unwilling. His choice is equivalent to admitting that the data analysis he has done before is not of much use.

But he was hungry for victory.

If you give up properly, you can win this game. Cao Jingxu felt that his persistence could be let go.

"This is the best chance to prove yourself. You can't lose anymore, otherwise it's really going to be 0-9. ”

Cao Jingxu cut the steak soaked in water into large pieces, then picked up the chef's knife and carved the knife marks along the twill of the steak at short intervals to marinate the beef.

After the steak is simply processed, Cao Jingxu puts the cut beef pieces in a small basin, sprinkles with sugar and rice wine, and pickles them to make the mellow aroma of rice wine soak into the beef.

After doing this, Cao Jingxu began to mix the sauce.

Onions, garlic, pepper, sesame oil......

Mix these seasonings evenly, and the light aromatic flavor gradually enters his nasal passages.

"Seems pretty good......

Cao Jingxu pursed his lips, very satisfied with the taste of this seasoning.

After cutting the carrots and radishes into small pieces, Cao Jingxu began to process the most important ingredient of the whole dish, the nuts.

The almonds are soaked in a pan of oil until the surface turns green, then removed from the pan, the skin of the almonds is removed, and then the chestnuts are taken out.

"Almonds, chestnuts, dates, turnips...... Zheng Jun's opponent is not too small in the ingredients used. Isshiki smiled and looked at the big screen.

"Moreover, the Han player seems to have taken all of this into account and is very confident. I smiled for a long time.

"However, I'm still on Xiao Ke's side, well, out of the juice, chicken, it looks very good. ”

Kobayashi Gentian licked his lips and swallowed his saliva with difficulty as he looked at the chicken on the big screen with the wooden shovel constantly stirring.

"Senior sister, even if Zheng Jun's cooking skills are not as good as those of his opponent, we should support Zheng Jun very much, right?"

Kobayashi Gentian thought for a moment, "That's right, it seems to be the case. Hey, Xiao Yishi, you said Xiao Ke's cooking, will there be any surprises?"

"And surprises?" Yi Shihui shook her head, "Who knows what Zheng Jun wants to cook?"

The people who pay attention to Zheng Ke are not limited to the students of Yuanyue School Park. In the stands opposite, Anielle and Catherine also watched Zheng Ke cook ingredients with different moods.

"Hey, sister, what's the name of the juice that Zheng Ke is filtering now?" asked Aynelle.

"Out of juice. ”

Catherine had discussed with Zheng Ke whether to use the juice before, so she already knew Zheng Ke's choice in advance.

In addition, although Catherine has not cooked much Japanese cuisine in the past six months in Japan, she has still had a lot of contact with the common seasoning soup of juicing.

"Is the juice from the Chinese cuisine?" asked Aniel.

"It's Japanese cuisine. Catherine looked at the big screen, Zheng Ke poured the fried chicken into a small basin, continued to add salad oil to the pot, put in the chopped bell pepper, and continued to stir-fry.

"It's olive oil again, it's juice again, can Zheng Ke handle it?" said Anielle in surprise.

"Don't worry, there's a surprise ahead. Catherine knew the recipe in advance, so she knew the whole process of cooking.

Anelle listened to Catherine's reminder and immediately focused her energy, she wanted to know what the surprise Catherine was talking about.

After Zheng Ke stir-fried the bell pepper, he poured the chicken into the pot again, and then put the orange juice he had just squeezed into it by the way.

Is it orange juice?

It is true that orange juice can enhance the taste of chicken, but few people usually use orange juice.

Anelle muttered to herself as she squinted at Catherine beside her. Catherine looked like she was not surprised. Anielle guessed that the surprise in Catherine's mouth was definitely not orange juice.

So what could it be?

Aniel couldn't figure it out for a while.

The orange juice in the pot quickly boiled, and white smoke continued to waft upwards. Tender chicken, red and green bell peppers, dance up and down with the tumbling soup.

Anie's eyes were a little hot, and with her cooking skills, she could already see the difference in this dish. If you start the pot now, the chicken will definitely taste the best.

Zheng Ke saw the orange juice boiling in the pot, and immediately came to the side of the car and picked up the iron bucket in the car.

What's in this bucket?

Anier's eyes also moved to the iron bucket in Zheng Ke's arms.

Zheng Ke directly opened the lid of the iron bucket, and the ingredients inside also appeared in her field of vision.

"Stock, no, judging by this consistency, it should be clear soup, right?" guessed Aynelle.

"This is a Chinese dashi. Catherine whispered.

"Eh, Huaxia broth?" Aniel blinked slightly, connecting all the previous ingredients, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, "Sister, you mean, Zheng Ke used the broth in Chinese cuisine, the juice of Japanese cuisine, and olive oil, which is often used in Western food?"

"Yes, that's it. Catherine nodded, "This dish, among the thirty contestants who participated, only Zheng Ke could get these." ”

Sweat was on Anell's forehead, and Catherine's words surprised her.

It is not difficult to think of these, and it is rare to combine these ingredients into a complete dish. To be able to do this, you must have a deep understanding of at least two cuisines.

"Wait, sister, didn't you cook a Chinese dish with a Western flavor yesterday?" asked Aynelle.

The same should be the case with the Gollum meat cooked by Catherine yesterday, right?

"It's not the same. I saw Zheng Ke cook Chinese cuisine before, and I was just imitating it, but I didn't know much about Chinese cuisine, I just knew that Chinese cuisine would be delicious. But Zheng Ke is different, he can do Chinese cuisine, French food and Japanese food, but the level of French food and Japanese food is not as good as that of top chefs. ”

Catherine sighed, also a little helpless.

Her strength is indeed stronger than Zheng Ke, but Zheng Ke far surpasses her in the breadth of dishes, and her comprehensive strength has always been very close to her, and there were several times when she thought she could get rid of Zheng Ke, but found that Zheng Ke was getting closer and closer to her.

At a top cooking school in Japan, I learned Chinese cuisine and Western cuisine. It's true that very few people have this experience. Moreover, even if there is, his cooking skills cannot be compared with Zheng Ke.

"Sister-sama. ”

After pondering for a moment, Aenil suddenly turned to Catherine.

"Huh?"

"You know so clearly, is it the dish you helped him think?" said Aniel seriously.
