"It's a rich aroma. ”

"The flavor of various precious mushrooms is also very strong. ”

There are also foreigners who don't know how to ask: "How do these precious mushrooms compare with white truffles, and how do they compare with black truffles?"

There is no clear contrast between that.

First of all, the price of various precious mushrooms is not fixed, some things have a price, some things have a price, and some things have a priceless market.

For example, there is a price for bamboo sunflower, but you may not be able to pick it, and when the farmers in the producing area are unlucky enough, you will not be able to eat it.

Another example is matsutake mushrooms, which are priced according to the quality of the year's production, and although the annual production is about stable, it's hard to say what the price will be.

There are six main producing areas in the world, one of which is still in Yunnan, China, and the most expensive is the white truffle produced in Italy, with a price of between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

If you really want to compare, it's about the same as the bamboo sunflower and the matsutake mushroom.

In fact, in many places around the world, these kinds of fungi have begun to be artificially cultivated, but the taste gap between artificial products and natural products is huge, just like ginseng, artificially planted ginseng, ten years can be as big as the top ginseng in the wild for three hundred years, and the medicinal effect is of course much worse when eaten, and the problem of using it as white radish stew is not too big.

Of course, the deficiency is not replenished, and the person who is hot and yang drinks white ginseng soup, it is like drinking ten cups of coffee mixed with Red Bull, and he can't sleep at all.

Coincidentally, the Kenyan team used white truffle oil, or rather, white truffle olive oil.

In modern times, it is normal for all kinds of chemical products to enter the kitchen, such as monosodium glutamate, white truffle oil is actually a chemical product that is used for flavoring.

White truffle olive oil, on the other hand, is a precious cooking oil moistened in olive oil with white truffle, and the usage is the same as olive oil, with a rotten egg smell, or kerosene smell.

Nowadays, there is a lot of promotion and sale of Western things in the diet, but you can probably see the greasy in it at a glance.

For example, olive oil is about 80 to 101 bottles, how can white truffle olive oil be the same price?

On the labeling, white truffle oil will be marked as a sauce, and white truffle olive oil will be marked as edible oil, the difference is here, if you buy it without paying attention to it, it is easy to be pitted.

Just imagine, spend a hundred dollars and buy a bottle of MSG like something. But then again, you can't buy white truffle olive oil for a hundred yuan, and if you're interested in cooking with this oil, you can buy Yunnan truffles and try your hand at making truffle olive oil yourself.

The method is not difficult, heat the olive oil to sixty percent, add garlic slices, take out the garlic after it is deformed, place the pure oil in a bottle, and soak it in the cut truffle slices.

Seven kinds of mushrooms are mixed and served in the soup, each of which has only three pork ribs.

Fang Hong stood in front of several judges, waiting for them to try the dishes.

One of the judges pulled down his gold wire glasses: "I have a question. ”

Say. ”

"As far as I know about cooking, all kinds of precious mushrooms are more suitable for frying, so that their rich aroma can be perfectly released. It's more popular in China, isn't it?"

"It's not popular, because our country's civilization has a long history, so the food culture also has a long history, in history, most of the practices have been handed down, we can choose ancient methods to make, there are also modern practices, every improvement will form a new cooking skills, I am good at Sichuan cuisine a total of 54 cooking methods, each has a different approach to the same material, and I just chose one to make. ”

Just like soup, there are many cooking methods such as soup, stew, soup, and soup, and soup is the most common, and there are many soup cooking methods, such as milk soup sketch painting.

Foreigners probably can't understand these things, so Fang Hong simply explained: "The theme I did today is called Mountain Delicacies, which corresponds to the seafood, and all the more expensive ingredients on land are called Mountain Delicacies." The cooking technique is to make soup, a total of three links, after making it is not a soup, but a dish, if it is a soup, the focus is to drink the soup, and the focus of this dish is the food. ”

Shanzhen has different meanings in different periods. At the earliest, the mountain people called the "Seven Pieces of Mountain Treasures", including seven kinds of mountain goods, including bear's paws, elephant trunks, deer tendons, humps, bird's nests, bamboo sunflowers, and lion's mane mushrooms. Later, some people divided it into the "Eight Treasures of Animals" (i.e., bear's paw, elephant trunk, deer tendon, hump, scarlet lip, deer tail, monkey brain, leopard fetus) and "Four Treasures of Plants" (i.e., bamboo sunflower, bird's nest, shiitake mushroom, and white fungus). With the improvement of people's awareness of ecological and environmental protection, the so-called "mountain treasures" no longer refer to those rare animals, but refer to the mountain goods produced in the mountainous areas and cultivated by the mountain people in the natural ecological environment, such as shiitake mushrooms, bamboo sunflowers, oyster mushrooms, mushrooms (white mushrooms), pine nuts, chestnuts, citron, ginkgo, walnuts, bamboo shoots, etc.

"Isn't this dish soup?"

Fang Hong couldn't explain: "This is a soup, the contents are ...... If you are not born in China, you can't understand it. "For example, white fungus soup, of course, is to drink soup, but for example, noodle soup, the focus is, of course, to eat noodles.

"It's okay if you don't understand. One of the judges said, "Since it's food, just try it." ”

Several nodded in agreement.

Just eat it, nonsense or something.

Anyone who eats ostrich meat is in for a treat, and this meat is a little more delicious than the best grilled steak, and the steak made with white truffle olive oil is the most luxurious method, and when used on ostrich meat, as long as the chef is not stupid, the taste will not be bad.

White truffle olive oil smells very bad, but it tastes rich and fragrant, which also makes up for the lack of umami in the red meat itself.

The so-called umami is fish and sheep, and there is a fishy smell before umami, so umami and fragrant are a little opposite.

And Fang Hong's pork ribs completely gave up the umami thing.

Shanzhen's approach is to achieve mellow incense, and the fragrance makes people forget everything.

The rich aroma of various types of mushrooms, combined with the smoke of the pork ribs, the changes that have taken place are amazing.

The meat of the ribs doesn't taste good, but with the rich aroma, no one can notice it.

The only problem is that several judges are not used to spitting out bones, so they insist on picking the meat before eating.

In this process, both the judges and the diners were engrossed in the food, and there was not much expression, only whispered praise on the spot.

Fang Hong glanced at the Kenyan team: "It seems that their strength is very strong, no wonder they can come here." ”

In the end, both sides got S+ for the first course, which can be regarded as a good start.

Next, it's the paper-wrapped trout and Wanzhou grilled fish, and the big battle between river fish and sea fish.
