CH.130 Eggplant Tomato Pie
"Eggplant tomato pie? Hanazawa's cooking seems to be pretty good. The girl on the second floor looked at www.biquge.info the judges' seat.
Although the distance between the second floor and the judges' bench is a bit far, Hanazawa Maki's eggplant tomato pie is too colorful, so even if you stand on the second floor, you can be attracted by this dish.
Decker smiled, although the Hachiman roll just now tasted good, he was not a professional Japanese chef, so he didn't dare to say too much in front of Kawamura. But this dish is different, and the typical Western appetizer is also the one he is good at.
"Two, shall we try it?" Decker asked in suffocated Japanese.
"Let's try it together. Akimoto nodded, and tapped his finger with the tomato pie on the plate in front of him.
The tender tomatoes are crystal bright, but only when you touch them, you will feel the slightly elastic texture of the tomato pie, which is not as soft as it seems on the surface.
Something else must have been added...... Gelatin?
Ayumi Akimoto immediately thought of this material.
Gelatin is a thin sheet or powder extracted from the connective tissues of animals' skin, bones, muscle membranes, etc., which can be added to ingredients to increase the elasticity of food. The most obvious examples, such as gummies or jellies, use this material. In addition, at the beginning of "The Spirit of the Halberd", the leftover egg fried rice made by Kohei is also gelatin.
Hanazawamaki adds gelatin to this dish, and the purpose is also very clear, which is to set the tomato pie.
In fact, too, the tomato pie is cold and slightly elastic in the hand, and it should have just been taken out of the fridge. On the outside of the tomato pie, it is wrapped in a thin layer of golden skin. At first, Ayumi Akimoto thought that this thin layer of skin was dough, but after entering it, she realized that she was wrong.
The thin golden skin is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, but it is more tendonous than the dough, and when you eat it, the light fragrance fills the mouth with rejection.
"Eggplant?" Ayumu Akimoto remembered that he had seen Hanazawa Maki frying thinly sliced eggplant in a pan, and after the color turned yellowish, he immediately took it out, so that the eggplant was colored while ensuring a soft taste.
At this time, the delicious tomato enters the mouth, and the sweet and sour taste sweeps the saliva and reverberates in the mouth. The breath of nature enveloped Ayumi Akimoto's body, making her think that she was like a tomato fairy, dancing ballet in the breeze.
"It was so delicious. After the eggplant is fried, the flavor of the eggplant itself is preserved, and the Genoa pesto sauce poured over the surface of the tomato pie adds flavor to the whole dish, and even more incredible is the flavor of the tomato...... There is an archer who shoots an arrow made of tomato into people's hearts, and then the delicious taste of tomatoes flows from the heart to all parts of the body. ”
Kawamura clenched his hands, his cheeks flushed, and until now, his mouth was still full of tomato deliciousness.
"Isn't this just a dish made from tomatoes, and why do the judges seem so obsessed?" said one reporter.
"That's right, no matter how you look at it, this dish can't compare to the Hachiman roll just now. ”
"I guess the score of this dish is around 80 points, so it shouldn't be higher than that Hachiman roll. Another journalist made a judgment.
The girl stood by the fence and licked her lips, "This dish is very good." ”
"yes, I want to eat it all the time. The boy laughed twice.
"If you don't explain the deliciousness of this dish, you might think that this is a very ordinary appetizer. Decker pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "As a professional Western chef, I'm here to uncover the secrets of this dish for everyone." ”
"It should be noted that although Hanazawa's movements are relatively light and he doesn't look steady when he cooks the dishes, I was surprised by the meticulousness of this dish. ”
After listening to Decker's words, Hua Zemu had a black line, although this sentence was praising him, it always sounded a little uncomfortable.
Decker took out a kitchen knife and cut the tomato pie, "In this dish, the protagonist is the tomato, and most of the chef's energy is on the tomato. Hanazawa blanched the tomatoes with hot water to separate the flesh from the skin. He then separates the seeds and water from the flesh. Am I right?"
Hanazawa touched his nose, "Yes." Tomato seeds, tomato juice and gelatin can be heated and blend with each other, while tomato flesh wants to mix with them, a little differently. ”
This step may seem a bit nondescript to many people, but it has two benefits. First, it can fill the gap between the pulp, so now you can see that in the tomato pie, there is hardly any gap, and second, the tomato seeds and tomato juice use gelatin, but the tomato flesh does not, which will cause the taste difference between the tomato flesh and the rest of the tomato. If you have to say it, some of them are like jelly with pulp, with a springy texture and soft flesh, which gives people a different kind of enjoyment. Decker explained.
The corners of Hanazawa's mouth turned up, revealing a smile, "That's right, the inspiration for this dish comes from jelly." ”
"And so it was. The girl nodded, Hanazawa's cooking was not surprising to her.
After all, it was the former Ten Masters of the Far Moon, and if the dishes made were no different from ordinary dishes, it would be detrimental to the name of the Ten Masters.
"Look, the three teachers are starting to score. ”
"I don't know how many points it will be. ”
"Originally, I didn't think much of him, but when I heard the teacher say this, I suddenly felt that his cooking was also very good. ”
"I guess 85 points. ”
"Almost, no matter how powerful it is, it can't be ninety. ”
Just when reporters were speculating about Hanazawa's final score, Kawamura was the first to light up the score - 94 points.
"94 points?"
The astonishment of the audience on the second floor resounded throughout the arena, and Zheng Ke also raised his head in surprise and looked at the judges' seat.
Immediately afterwards, Ayumi Akimoto and Decker also showed their scores one after another - 95.
"Two 95 points?"
"That's too high, isn't it?"
When Hua Zemu saw this score, a smile appeared on his face, and at the same time, his fists were clenched together, and he glanced back at Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo and Zheng Ke.
I'm going to decide the first place in this group.
The average score of nearly 95 points made the arena no longer calm, especially the reporters on the roof, who were looking forward to whether the next player to break this record.
However, the next person's result did not surprise too much, and the average score was just a very ordinary 82.
"Is anyone down there finishing the cooking?" asked Ayumu Akimoto.
"Yes, judge, my cooking is ready. ”
Everyone's eyes moved to the speaker's body, and they saw Kikuchi Sonoko raise his hand high.
