Chapter 255: The Second Duel
Bai Xiaobai felt that if he wanted to go again, a large number of brain cells would die again.
The sudden appearance of the bald king always felt that it was not so simple.
Let's see what he does.
Bai Xiaobai thought to himself.
Wang Bald had already confidently boarded the No. 1 stove, and Luo Yuan also followed, and he also walked to the edge of the No. 5 stove with a confident face, and the two of them glanced at each other, full of gunpowder.
Because the first game was a draw, the second game was particularly crucial.
Whichever side wins, the other side will inevitably be big.
Mr. Chen couldn't help but sweat too, this time he was bound to get the right to settle in Ito Japanese Food, but at present, it seems that it is not so easy.
Hengyuan's Mr. Li was also sweating with his fists, and the plan was more difficult than he imagined.
But there will certainly be no problems in the second game.
Tremble! Chen Xiaoxian, you will lose the second game.
Mr. Li glanced sideways at Mr. Chen, and his face showed a ruthlessness that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
The hostess on the stage solemnly announced, "The second contestant has been seated, and the competition has officially begun." ”
With the host's order, the half-hour countdown officially began.
Both Wang Bald and Luo Yuan began to get busy.
Bai Xiaobai paused the game to watch the second game on the competition area.
Wang Bald took out a whole duck from the material storage box, washed it, cut off the head and feet, and took out the light soy sauce and some seasonings.
After putting on disposable gloves and preparing a special sauce, he carefully touched the outside and inside of the duck with the sauce.
Wang Bald makes duck dishes, and his technique is quite skillful, as if he has done it countless times.
He doesn't seem to have any other ingredients with him other than duck ingredients, and he doesn't know what kind of duck dishes he makes.
In comparison, Luo Yuan's ingredients are very rich, including lean pork, eggs, lotus root, rape, carrots, and red bell peppers.
Chop the lean pork first, Luo Yuan followed suit, picked up the kitchen knife, neatly peeled the lotus root, and also chopped it into lotus root pieces.
Add minced lotus root to the pork filling, add a little minced ginger, a small amount of salt, beat an egg, take the egg white and add it to the meat filling, Luo Yuan beat it clockwise with a pair of chopsticks.
Bai Xiaobai could hear the sound of stirring when he stood in the rest area, and Luo Yuan's stirring force was really not covered.
Bai Xiaobai usually likes to read food books, so he will dabble in a lot of common sense, and in addition to his father's death, he also taught him a lot of food knowledge, so Bai Xiaobai's food knowledge is quite rich.
Judging from Luo Yuan's choice of ingredients and current practices, Bai Xiaobai guessed that what he wanted to do should be Sixi Balls.
Sixi balls are also called braised lion's head in some places in China.
Some people think that these two are not the same dish, and of course some people think that braised lion's head and Sixi meatballs are actually a dish, but the name is different.
Bai Xiaobai is more accepting of the latter statement, because in fact, the two practices are completely and almost the same.
The reason why there is a difference in the name is mainly that the folk customs are not exactly the same in different places.
Some people think that the large meatballs in this dish resemble a lion's head, hence the name braised lion's head.
In some areas, because of this dish, it is usually composed of four meatballs with good color, fragrance and taste, which can imply the blessing of life, luck, longevity and happiness.
Therefore, it is usually used as the finale dish in banquets such as wedding banquets and birthday banquets.
Of course, when cooking Siki meatballs in different places, there are slight differences in the choice of ingredients.
For example, the authentic Huaiyang cuisine and the northern Hubei method, because the region is full of lakes, rich in water resources, and rich in lotus root, so lotus root is usually added to Sixi balls.
Sichuan people like to eat potatoes, so Sichuan cuisine usually adds an appropriate amount of mashed potato flour to Sixi meatballs.
As for the Sixi meatballs, which are dished in Shandong cuisine, refreshing water chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms are added to make an original flavor that is more suitable for locals.
No matter what kind of changes there are in the ingredients, the method of Sixi meatballs is the same, it is a mixture of various ingredients to make a filling, seasoning and adding egg balls to make large balls, and after deep-frying the meatballs, they are fired in sauce and simmered until concentrated.
In fact, there is no big problem with Luo Yuan's cuisine, but the problem is that Sixi meatballs usually only have 4 large meatballs, and there are five Japanese benzene judges, which is not enough at all.
If you add one more big meatball to make Wuxi Ball, it's okay, but you have to have a saying.
When Bai Xiaobai looked at Luo Yuan's cooking, he really thought too much about the little head melon seeds, and he reviewed the food knowledge he had learned before.
On the other side, Wang Bald had already evenly spread the sauce on the whole duck.
It should be impossible to say that he made roast duck in the imperial capital.
Because there is a barbecue oven in the competition area, and the roast duck is very labor-intensive, the 30-minute game time is really enough to choke.
Bai Xiaobai thinks about it from the professional perspective of cooking.
In a limited time, there are three main ways to cook the most trouble-free dishes, which are stir-frying, frying, and steaming.
In the first game, Li Maoren and Master Yang both chose the steaming method at the same time.
In the second game, coincidentally, both of them coincidentally chose to be fried.
While Luo Yuan was frying the croquettes, Wang Bald also turned on the fire to heat the pot and poured in most of the oil in the pot.
When the oil was a little hot, he put the whole duck with the sauce in the center of the pan.
Zizizi——
The loud sound of frying, accompanied by an incomparable aroma, spread all the way from the competition area directly to the outside of the field.
It's almost half past ten in the morning, and it's almost noon.
The onlookers outside the cordon, at the same time, smelled the aroma of fried duck, and the hara was about to flow down.
"Hold the grass, this fat chef is too hanging, this duck is not cut into pieces, just put the whole one in the pot and fry it?"
"Frying the whole duck like this is a test of kung fu, and if you don't make the duck meat raw, or it will be too old, it will be embarrassing. ”
"People are the contestants selected by Hengyuan, and the kung fu must be at home, and this level of frying is definitely not a problem. ”
"Anyway, why don't you cut this fat man into pieces and fry it again, it's so fast and flavorful. ”
"You might want to keep the whole duck look, haha. ”
"Could it be that you are making a secret hand-grilled duck?"
The crowd of onlookers standing in the front row of the periphery of the cordon once again began to discuss.
These people are basically foodies, and they also have a lot of experience in food knowledge.
Bai Xiaobai was not particularly far away from them, and their voices were not small, so Bai Xiaobai could hear what he said clearly.
As they say, frying whole duck is definitely much more difficult than frying chopped duck meat, mainly because the heat is very difficult to control.
When Bai Xiaobai used to cook by himself, his uncle had to eat fried whole chicken, but the first time he tried fried whole chicken, he fried it directly, and finally in order not to waste it, his uncle ate it with tears.
The bitter gourd face expression of the uncle eating the paste chicken, Bai Xiaobai is still imprinted in his mind, which is extremely clear.
Therefore, it is not easy to fry large pieces of meat, so that the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked and tender, and a special fried large pot is generally used.
And Wang Bald uses an ordinary wok, this person's strength is really good, and he has two brushes.
actually had the courage to fry the whole duck in the competition, and the key was that the duck selected by the bald king was still very large, and it was more than twice as difficult to fry.
However, Luo Yuan's frying kung fu is not covered, the five children's fist-sized Sixi balls have been fried to golden brown and crispy, Bai Xiaobai looks at it from a distance, not to mention, it is a bit like a golden lion's head, which is particularly eye-catching.
This second game is really watched, and it is not yet known who will die.
Bai Xiaobai thought silently in his heart, calmly picked up his mobile phone, and continued to play his defense radish 2.
