CH.54 Dialogue on Molecular Cuisine
Absolon panicked as he fodder the stands, noticing that the others were looking at him strangely, and quickly took two deep breaths to make his face look as normal as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Catherine asked curiously.
"I didn't ...... How could someone be chasing me? You must be mistaken. I was just thinking, the last game must be exciting, right? Absolon's face changed slightly, revealing a hint of panic.
"Is that so?" Catherine looked at Absolon suspiciously.
"Of course...... Look, look, the players are already on the field. Absolon said, pointing to the stage.
Catherine saw that Absolon was not telling the truth, and pouted unhappily, her eyes aimed at the center of the stage.
Eizan Ezuya strode into the venue, and Kinokuni Nene also walked into the venue from the contestant passage on the other side, followed by two staff members holding a cardboard box.
Catherine stared intently at Ji Zhiguo Ningning as she took out the instruments in the cardboard box one by one.
"Infrared thermometers, droppers, precision scales, egg beaters...... Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning really wants to make molecular cuisine. Oh, I'd love to have a fight with her......" Catherine looked eager to try.
At this time, the voice of the host Katagiri Yuanzi also came.
"Thanks to the persistent spectators, the final match of the first round will now be played against the two sides of Kinokuni Nene and Eiyama Edazaya, and the theme of the cuisine is - pudding! ”
"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong, it's dessert, right?" Catherine raised her head and looked at Zheng Ke proudly.
"Yes, kid, you're amazing. Zheng Ke joked.
"You're young, don't you understand? Catherine pouted and said angrily.
He also said that he was not a child......
Zheng Ke shook his head helplessly, but his gaze fell on Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning.
Molecular cuisine was born in Spain and sounds very foreign, but in layman's terms, it is characterized by visually deceiving diners, but after eating, it is full of surprises.
However, the more professional theoretical knowledge, as well as some expensive equipment, discouraged many chefs. Zheng Ke has only seen articles about molecular cuisine, but he has hardly done it — if making tofu is also molecular cuisine, he admits that he has done it.
For this relatively unfamiliar cooking method, Zheng Ke certainly wants to know as much as possible.
After Katagiri Yuanzi announced the start of the competition, Kinokuni Nene immediately took action, used a small spoon to remove the mustard and white sugar, placed them on the precision balance, weighed the required weight, and then used a graduated cylinder to take out a certain amount of orange juice.
Seeing Ji Zhiguo Ningning's cautious appearance, Zheng Ke seemed to have returned to junior high school, holding a graduated cylinder to weigh chemical reagents.
"Molecular cuisine doesn't require a lot of ingredients, so you have to be careful when weighing the ingredients, because you may not be able to make a satisfying dish to a greater or lesser extent. Catherine explained while watching Ji Zhiguo Ningning's operation.
"I just think she's doing a chemistry experiment......"
"Yes, there are a lot of chemical methods used in molecular cooking. Catherine said.
Ji Zhikuni Ningning took out the egg beater, mixed the mustard and orange juice together, stirred and mixed well, and then poured the sugar and white liquid together and kept heating it.
A thick sweet smell escaped from the pan and slowly spread into the air, and the sugar gradually turned into brown syrup.
"Caramelization. Catherine's eyebrows furrowed slowly, but there was a fiery look in her eyes.
"What is caramelization?" Asami asked, puzzled.
"Ahem...... Miss Asami, I know this. Absolon coughed lightly, and after a period of rest, his face finally returned to normal, "The so-called caramelization is that when the sucrose and water are heated together to a high temperature, as the water evaporates, the sucrose will decompose into glucose and fructose, and as the temperature rises, the two monosaccharides will re-form a new substance, which is the brown syrup you see on the big screen now." ”
"So is the liquid she poured in wine or some other spice?" Zheng Ke asked.
"In general, it's distilled water. Absolon replied.
It turned out to be water.
Zheng Ke nodded slightly and thought silently.
On the other hand, Ruishan is also busy. Pour the minced almonds into the milk mixed with granulated sugar, let it sit for a while, pass it through a strainer, and strain it into a bucket.
Compared with the caution of Ji Zhiguo Ningning, Ruishan Zhizu is also more open and close, and the tools in his hands never stop.
"Almond pudding?"
Taku Hosogi frowned slightly, for people who often go to high-end restaurants to make reviews, such a pudding is too common. In contrast, it was another girl's food that was more appealing. And there is nothing new about the performance of Aizayama Ezuya, and it looks lethargic.
At this moment, Eizan Zhizu suddenly poured a packet of white powder into a glass of water, and then quickly stirred it with a blender, and the colorless and transparent liquid suddenly became cloudy.
"What does this student want to do?" Taku Hosogi shouted in surprise.
The other judges also noticed the strangeness of Ezuya Azuyama and speculated about his purpose in doing so.
Adding the water from the cup to the mango jam, Eizan Zhizu also used a round spoon to take a small amount of mango jam and gently put it into another basin of water that was prepared, and the mango jam turned out to be a small ball and floated gently in the water.
There weren't any large-scale instruments, but Ezuyama did a magic show.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and almost everyone looked at the display screen above the moon, and the thick mango jam turned into a small ball of condensed matter, which ...... It's incredible, isn't it?
"Molecular cuisine. Catherine said softly, a blazing heat appeared in her eyes, "I thought that only Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning knew this cooking method?"
Zheng Ke also licked his lips, regardless of the taste, but this cooking method did have a visual impact.
Eizan edazu also ...... His strength is definitely not as pompous as it seems on the surface.
"I didn't expect you to be a molecular cooker. Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning helped his eyes, but his gaze was extremely sharp.
"Among the companies I work with, there are restaurants that have molecular cuisine, so I know some, and it's not a big deal. Also, against someone like you, who is known for molecular cuisine, I'm going to have to show some real skills. Eizan Zhizu also bared his teeth, and the smile on his face was hideous.
"You look so good!" Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning cupped his eyes.
"I want you to take care of it!" Aizayama snarled.
"Of course I don't care, but this level of molecular cuisine can't defeat me. Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning smiled rarely.
Damn it!
Ruishan Zhizu also clenched his fists and glared at Ji Zhiguo Ningning viciously.
