Chapter 17: Pure Culinary Showdown
Chinese Sichuan cuisine team VS Turkish team.
Appetizer: Pumpkin milk soup VS pumpkin milk soup.
Side dish: Spicy cucumber salad vs custard salad.
Main course: Spicy chicken skewers VS chicken skewer grill.
Dessert: Coconut Egg Baking Cake VS Coconut Cake!
As soon as this menu was released, it made the audience around the world feel that it was discussed by the chefs of both sides!
Journalists who had been stationed in the small village where they had been stationed flocked to the station.
Fang Hong was originally limited to playing the piano at the door and wanted to write songs, but a bunch of reporters came in.
You can't write a song.
Fang Hong had fried a few songs at the beginning of the live broadcast before, Fang Hong thought in his heart at that time, when he had more skill points, he would write a few songs and return them to those people, now is the right time, and there may not be that opportunity in the future.
When the reporter arrived, Fang Hong put down his guitar and walked out of the station: "Everyone, the station cannot be entered. ”
"We just wanted to do an interview."
"Okay, let's come out and talk."
"I'm a journalist from the French Food Pioneer, may I ask this time...... Is your menu deliberately designed for Turkish chef Kaya, and why are all four dishes the same ingredients? ”
"Before the game, I was thinking about what kind of dishes the Turkish chef would use, and when I thought about the dishes he was going to make, I remembered the dishes that were on my menu, so I just used those dishes to compete, it's as simple as that."
"You're saying you just come up with a few random dishes and use them to compete? Or are you saying this to deliberately put pressure on Chef Kaya? ”
Fang Hong waved his hand: "I don't have this idea, I don't want to put pressure on anyone before the game, I hope that all opponents can adjust to the best condition, so that the game will be interesting." ”
"It's ......"
"I mean, if you win a master who is no longer in shape, it's no different from winning a person who can't cook on the street, I want the opponent to show strength, and I can only have the best to compete."
"Are you belittling the Turkish team?"
"No!" Fang Hongyi said: "I didn't mean that, the answer is in the third course." ”
Well? The third course? What does that mean?
Only sailors know what it means.
I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that all of you here are spicy chicken.
Fang Hong smiled: "Okay guys, it's pointless to say anything before the game, if I continue, you will also say that I despised everyone again, it's better to wait for the game, the result of the game is everything." ”
Now is the age of the Internet, all news does not need to wait for newspapers to print, Twitter, Facebook, portals, everywhere can spread news, and news has also flown to the world.
Michelin's taster does want to hide his identity, but the Michelin editor-in-chief does not, and the Michelin editor-in-chief left a message on Facebook: "There are all kinds of indications that Chinese Sichuan chef Fang Hong deliberately used the same ingredients against Turkish chef Kaya." It may seem provocative to the average person, but to me, it's a kind of confidence, and the chef is confident that he can make a meal with any ingredient and use a random selection of ingredients to compete with Kaya's mastery. From this point of view, Fang Hong is undoubtedly arrogant, but whether this performance is arrogant or arrogant will be revealed tonight. ”
The ghost knows that Michelin has a copy of the Food World Cup in the back, and he is actually trying to pull ratings, but this description is still very interesting.
Live broadcasts around the world in the evening reached a peak since the start of the World Cup.
The confrontation between two chefs, who are recognized as a world-recognized gastronomic powerhouse, and the introduction of such an interesting topic as the menu before the game, naturally made many people interested.
Except for a few countries, the vast majority of countries in the world still have dietary requirements, and they also want to know what kind of food is the best in the world now.
It's like a boxing champion, like a ball king, as long as it can be compared, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, it can attract attention.
At half past four in the afternoon, the game started as scheduled.
This time, the sides of the venue were filled with cameras.
"Brother Gun is undoubtedly smart, a game, especially a live game, needs topical characters, and needs ratings protection, if Brother Gun can increase the ratings, not to mention being preferentially treated, at least it will not be hacked prematurely."
As a chef, Fang Hong has to control a lot of things, especially in this kind of competition, it is not a good thing to bow down: "Steamer, steamer, steamer, steam pumpkin on low heat!" ”
Bamboo steamer on the stove.
"Little fire!"
On the other side, Turkish chef Kaya is doing the same thing, also on the steamer, but in the iron steamer.
"Is it true that the dishes on both sides are the same?"
"Listen to what the judges have to say."
The editor-in-chief of the famous food magazine Carloti Style, who is also a former world celebrity chef, Jost: "At the moment, the menus are very similar, and so far, the approach is similar, but ...... I didn't see the milk of the Chinese team. ”
The camera swept over the operating tables of both sides again, there was a large bottle of milk on one side of Turkey, while Fang Hong's side was all kinds of meat, and there was no shadow of milk at all.
"Get out of the pot and practice oil!" Fang Hong's side began to refine red oil.
But what does this have to do with pumpkin milk soup? On the other side, Kaya's forehead was dripping with sweat: "Grandstanding, let's continue, boil the milk." ”
"Good chef."
"Hurry up, hurry up, there is not so much time as you think!"
On this side, Fang Hong set up the third pot, and the cold pot put chicken, duck, pork belly, fish, and pork knuckle.
Those who are familiar with the live broadcast know that this is the material for making milk soup, not a soup made of milk, but a milk-colored soup, which is actually a superb stock.
It seems that Fang Hong didn't feel that he could win the Turks at will, at least Fang Hong took out the milk soup.
Then, Fang Hong began to put the same ingredients into the oil pot.
"This ...... I've heard that Chinese cuisine is heavy on oil, so does this soup also need so much oil? ”
"I can feel how sticky the soup is when I put the ingredients in the water to make it, and I still need to use so much oil."
Only the Chinese know that those oils are used to make cucumbers and bowl chickens, and they have nothing to do with the soup and half a dime, but the oil needs to be left for a long time, so they started to make it at the earliest.
"Change the water!"
The soup pot turned on the faucet, and at the same time, Li Yun fished out several main ingredients, because it was meat, there would be floating powder formed by blood, so the water needed to be changed once.
"Go to the iron pot!" This is the time for the real milk soup.
"Pumpkin fire!"
At 4:40, the oil was ready, poured into the chili noodles, and began to rest.
At 4:50, Fang Hong turned around: "Boil the soup on the fire!" ”
The fish head is almost over, and then it's time to boil out the essence of the chicken and duck.
At five o'clock, the soup in the pot was already snow-white.
The audience was stunned as they watched the water turn into a milk-like color step by step.
"This is milk soup?"
"When was the milk added?"
"It's not scientific!"
One of the judges raised his head and sniffed lightly: "It's so rich, Turkish cuisine is heavy and creamy, why is this Sichuan cuisine so fragrant, so rich, it covers up all the smells emitted by Turkey, why?" Isn't it said that Sichuan cuisine is known for stimulating taste buds? ”
"The old merchant opens a pumpkin!"
"Good!"
Shang Yang took out a small pumpkin, opened it, tasted it, and then shook his head: "It still needs time." ”
On the other side, Kaya: "The pumpkin is baked, and if it doesn't come out, it will be deformed!" ”
Fang Hong's side put in the peeled pumpkin, while the Turkish side used the whole pumpkin.
"The Turks are digging pumpkins, and they are supposed to use them as containers."
"That's different, Brother Gun shouldn't use pumpkins as containers here."
"The soup is ready!"
"Okay, Frozen!"
Li Yun took out a box, took out an iron plate, poured the rich milk soup on it, and then put the iron plate back, and under the iron plate, there was a large ice cube.
"What moth?"
"That's fish jelly!" The collagen-rich soup is cooled and solidified into a tofu state.
"Stir with starch!"
"This is ......" is too familiar, this is churning powder!
On the other side, the Turkish chef's milk soup is ready, and the aroma is tangy: "Serve it!" ”
Open all the lids of the pumpkin, pour the milk soup into the pumpkin, and then close the lid.
"Finally smell the smell here."
On this side, the fish jelly jelly powder has been formed, and Fang Hong took out a special knife to use the knife to make a shape.
Cut out pieces of cylindrical fish jelly, put them in a small soup pot, and then scoop out the hollow with a spoon.
Sailor: "I suddenly remembered the little master. ”
"Xiaodang has a soup at home that needs to be chewed."
Pumpkin, spoonful by spoonful, milky, jelly-like solid soup, wrapped in melted pumpkin juice, the two quickly exchange temperatures with each other.
"This ......"
"This is really still targeted!"
This is the voice of all the audience, on one side the pumpkin as a container for milk soup, and on the other side as a container for pumpkin!
