It is not easy to peel off the outer layer of a tomato, and although the difficulty is not comparable to that of soap bubble fruit, it is not something that ordinary cooks can do. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The concentrated flavor of the multi-layered tomato from the peel of the first layer to the pale silver layer at the bottom is only able to maintain its peak state for 10 minutes before it plummets. It is precisely because of this that there is simply no way to prepare this tomato in advance.

Even if practicing food has improved Hodge's knife skills a lot, it is not a wise choice to choose such an ingredient that can be called delicate cuisine to participate in a limited-time competition.

But in order to be able to outwit Wolfgang, Hodge had to take a risk.

After tasting Wolfgang's Cinderella Beef Cuisine, Hodge knew that the other party was definitely a master at cooking Cinderella. To win, you have to be absolutely outstanding in terms of taste.

After blanching the brisket into small pieces, Hodge stir-fried the beef with morse oil, and then added dark soy sauce, star anise, fennel, etc. to continue stir-frying, then added platinum lemon slices and water to simmer.

It was only at this time that Hodge began to process multiple layers of tomatoes.

Multi-layered tomatoes are much smaller than regular tomatoes, and only slightly larger than table tennis balls. If you want to make a serving of eleven people, you need at least ten layers of tomatoes.

Dealing with ten layers of tomatoes in a short period of time was Hodge's biggest test of the game. 、

The first few layers of tomatoes were processed smoothly, each one only took about 40 seconds, and 10 were completed in 10 minutes, which seemed to be more than rubbing. But from the sixth onwards, Hodge kept making mistakes, cutting several times in quick succession and wasting a lot of time.

"No, I want to be calm." Hodge patted the cold water from the pool on his face and picked up the kitchen knife again.

For this match, Hodge has practiced countless times in private. In a pinch, the experience he had accumulated over a long period of practice finally helped him to perform extraordinarily, and he completed the processing of ten layers of tomatoes in ten minutes.

The layers of tomatoes are chopped up and stir-fried in a pan of oil, and then poured into the simmering beef pot.

It is worthy of multiple layers of tomatoes, and the beef broth immediately turns bright red after pouring it in.

Many people have to add tomato sauce to make stewed beef brisket with tomatoes to adjust the color of the soup to the best level, which is actually an opportunistic act that will not improve the taste of the dish.

Multilayer tomatoes are able to do this because they contain a lot of lycopene, one of the strongest antioxidants currently found in nature. Lycopene not only nourishes health, but also makes meat more delicious.

Seeing that all the ingredients were added to the pot and simmered, Hodge finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up at the countdown on the big screen, the time was just right.

On the other hand, Wolfgang is concentrating on his own cooking. After getting the tenderloin of the white-haired Cinderella, he began to beat the meat with his hands without immediately cutting it. The complex technique has shaken away the fibers in the meat, and the taste of the meat has changed dramatically.

Next, Wolfgang directly puts the beaten meat in a pan and deep-frying it. When the surface of the meat was slightly discolored and only about three years old, Wolfgang decisively took out the beef.

Originally, everyone thought that Wolfgang wanted to make steak, but he immediately saw that he cut the fried steak into cubes of about two centimeters. Seeing Wolfgang fry the pieces of meat and then cut them into pieces and stir-fry, everyone was confused by him.

Wolfgang didn't mean to explain, he went about his cooking, and then rang the bell with nearly twenty minutes to go before the end of the game and handed in his work.

"Did you see, Wolfgang finished it so much ahead of schedule, and Hodge's cooking seems to be a lot worse, it's amazing."

"Just because you finish your work ahead of schedule doesn't mean you'll definitely be the first, so let's take your time."

The audience was now divided into two factions, one supporting Wolfgang and the other being Hodge's fans.

This time, the jury is still composed of the gastronomy riches of the Kingdom of Gary, and there are some retired bigwigs who have long been out of public activities, and the attraction of the World Chef Competition is really amazing to be able to invite so many influential people to serve as judges.

Wolfgang's dish looks a bit like mapo tofu, with a bright red sauce that whets your appetite.

One of the judges ate a piece of beef curiously, and his eyes immediately widened. Carefully swallowing the meat in his mouth, he looked at Wolfgang in shock: "This meat is so tender and smooth, it is like flowing soup, as if it can go down the esophagus and into the stomach with a strong inhalation." How, exactly? ”

"The tenderloin of the white-haired cinderella beef is known for its tenderness, but there is a limit to how tender it is, and this dish simply pushes the limits of ingredients."

"If it weren't for the rich aroma of the meat, I would have thought I was eating egg custard or tofu, it was too tender."

"Bringing out the tenderness of the meat to the extreme, this is really the pinnacle of culinary skills, and the understanding of ingredients must have reached a very high level."

The judges did not hesitate to praise Wolfgang, which is a well-deserved compliment for a good cook.

Next, there were chefs who presented their works, and the judges also gave professional comments. The cooks in this group generally cooked quickly, and in the end, Hodge was the only one left on the field quietly watching the beef churning in the pot.

"There is still one minute until the end of the competition, so please hurry up if you haven't submitted your work yet." Shaoan reminded.

Hodge's stewed beef brisket with tomatoes will take about a minute and 20 seconds to achieve its best taste, and getting it out of the pot early will definitely affect the quality of the dish. Maybe just one less thing will beat Wolfgang.

However, according to the rules of the competition, if you have not put your work on the plate and placed it in the designated position after the time is over, it will be treated as a waiver.

If you come out early, you may be able to secure second place, and there is a chance to compete for the top spot in the other groups, but if you are ruled to abstain, there is no chance at all.

But competing with Wolfgang with such imperfect cuisine is, in Hodge's opinion, disrespectful to the other party. If only he hadn't made a mistake when he had just cooked the layers of tomatoes, Hodge thought to himself.

"I can't help it, I can only use that thing."
