Chapter 510: Second Course

After hesitating for a while, one of the judges finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, picked up his chopsticks and put a little spicy fried noodles into his mouth. Originally, he didn't have much expectation in his heart, but after eating it, the wonderful taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and his squinted eyes suddenly widened.

Ordinary instant noodles are cooked just right, bringing out the texture of the ingredients to the fullest. The texture of the spicy strips tastes a bit like shredded beef, and the combination of the slightly spicy texture and the sauce made with sesame pepper constantly stimulates the taste buds on the tip of the tongue.

"I didn't expect that the combination of spicy strips and instant noodles could make such a delicious dish." He sighed.

Just as when I was a child, I couldn't stop eating spicy noodles one after another, and this first dish served by Hanzo constantly stimulated the appetite of every judge and made them want to stop.

However, when everyone looked down at the plate in front of them, everyone had a look of loss on their faces.

Because of the limited time and the need to meet the tasting needs of so many judges, each judge can allocate a small amount of dishes, and the plate is already at the bottom after one bite.

More than half of the judges reluctantly put down their chopsticks and licked their lips with their tongues, as if there was still a residual taste of the dish just now.

But the judges didn't have to wait long, and Sally El's first course was quickly served.

Like Hanzo, Sariel also chose snacks as the main ingredient for her first course. What she made was - pot slices of pork.

The finished pot is fried in a new pan, then the tenderloin of the red-haired pig is cut horizontally into thin slices and marinated with seasonings, and then the mushrooms, golden carrots, shallots and other slices are stir-fried together with the tenderloin, and the seasoned sauce is added.

Finally, while it is hot, pour the meat slices and the sauce on the pot, and with a smack, a pot of meat slices is ready.

The slices of meat are tender and crispy, but the diametrically opposed textures are perfectly combined in this dish.

"It's another dish made with snacks, did the two chefs have a snack today?"

"It's delicious, but it always feels like it's a far cry from what I expected."

"It's amazing to be able to make dark food so delicious."

The judges had mixed reactions to the first dish presented by Hanzo and Sariel, with some praising and some being puzzled, but none of them said that the dish tasted bad.

The land of rain has a humid climate due to year-round rainfall, so the residents of the country like to eat spicy food to expel moisture from their bodies. In response to this situation, Hanzo and Sariel made different choices in terms of the taste of the dishes.

Hanzo opted for the slightly spicier spicy fried noodles, hoping to cater to the tastes of more residents of the Land of Rain. Considering that the judges on the scene may not all be residents of the Land of Rain, the taste deviation may be large, and finally chose a more neutral taste.

The answer to the question of whose cuisine will best suit the tastes of the ad hoc judges will be revealed in the ongoing vote.

This vote is not only related to the score of the two in the first round of the match, but also affects their choice of dishes and tastes in the future.

Thirty-one judges pressed the voting machine in their hands, and sixteen to fifteen, Hanzo won the first game by a narrow margin.

Because the score gap is not large, neither of them adjusted their established cooking plan.

For the second course, Hanzo took out the horn pufferfish that he had exchanged from Sariel. As an appetizer, the sooner you serve, the better.

Although it may create an opportunity for Sariel, Hanzo does not deter from this.

Here, Hanzo was making soup with horn pufferfish, and on the other side, Sally El also took out the smoke jellyfish that she had exchanged earlier.

Cutting a jellyfish without releasing its smell requires a lot of skill and time, but Sally El didn't dare to waste a second in such a tense game. So when he saw Hanzo choosing a smoke jellyfish before, Sariel, who had insight into his thoughts, had already thought of a countermeasure.

Laying the jellyfish on the board, Sally El picked up the kitchen knife and cut it into thin strips, and a strange smell spread from the board.

As if she hadn't smelled the smell at all, Sally Elle calmly took out a bottle of iced tea from the pile of ingredients. Pour the iced tea into a bowl, and then Sally Elle soaked the sliced jellyfish in it.

Iced tea can reduce the smell of smoky jellyfish!

There is no requirement that all the ingredients must be used up in the rules of the competition, so as long as Sally El reduces the amount of jellyfish used and combines the effect of iced tea, she can quickly minimize the impact of the odor emitted by the jellyfish.

As if that weren't enough, Sally Elle also chose ramen octopus as an ingredient to accompany the jellyfish.

Ramen octopus has a rich umami flavor that is similar to smoked jellyfish, which is also seafood, and the mixed cooking of the two can also mask the odor that has been reduced by smoked jellyfish.

Of course, for those with an extremely sensitive sense of taste, even the slightest concealment can tell the difference.

However, Sally Elle is clearly confident about her own dishes.

Hanzo's croissant pufferfish soup was the first to be served, and this time he did not deliberately reduce the amount of croissant pufferfish, but put all the meat that had been processed from the whole cufffish.

Since Sally El will take advantage of it anyway, she simply lets it go completely, so that the effect of the croissant pufferfish can last until the end of the game.

Moreover, Hanzo noticed that there was smoke jellyfish in the ingredients used by Sally El in this round, and he might not lose this round.

The meat of the horn pufferfish will enhance the taste sensitivity of diners, and the odor of the jellyfish will be amplified, and the time will be ...... Thinking of this, the smile on Hanzo's face became even kinder.

"Hey, what did you say Hanzo was thinking, the wrinkles of his smile were about to crack." Niss whispered to Lin Su.

"I guess I think I have a chance to win this round." Lin Su said.

Even though the current situation was somewhat unfavorable to Sally El, Lin Su was not at all anxious. Weakening the impact of the outcome of the game and improving the sense of participation in the game process is exactly the original intention of Lin Su when he designed "Smiling Kitchen".

Filming into a show for the audience is just incidental, and going to various restaurants to eat in this way is the most important thing.

As a foodie, Lin Su has never forgotten this.

Hanzo's croissant pufferfish soup was unanimously praised by the judges, and the first sip tasted a little bland, but when you took the second sip, the deliciousness hidden in the soup exploded, as if a depressed volcano had suddenly erupted.

The meat of the horn pufferfish has already begun to take effect.

PS: The weather is cold, everyone must pay attention to keeping warm. Recently, I had a severe cold, and as a result, I was not given a drip when I went to the hospital, and I was only allowed to take medicine......
