Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pascal, an Old Acquaintance

Needless to say, Zhang Guangshun won.

Fang Hong returned to the station and took a look at the dried smoked bacon.

These bacon have just been smoked, and they are not suitable for eating yet, although they look like they are cooked when they are smoked.

But it's not a barbecue.

"I'll cook with this tomorrow."

If it is old bacon, you need to soak it overnight, you can try it, if it is smoked yellow fingers, it can not be washed off just by washing it once, so you have to soak it, according to the time to see how long it will take, if it is new meat, you can soak it with hot water, if there is a month, then you have to soak it for two hours, if it is more than half a year, then you have to soak it overnight.

The next day, the live broadcast started again.

"Brother Gun, fried bacon, right?"

"Yes, I don't plan to use the dish of fried bacon in the competition, so I will come directly in the live broadcast, and it can be regarded as teaching a dish."

"There are many ways to make bacon, but basically you have to cook it once and then do other methods, such as stir-frying bacon, and everyone also likes to slice and fry after cooking." Fang Hong: "There are probably two reasons, the first is that it is too salty to fry directly, and the second is that it is more glutinous to fry it after cooking." ”

"In fact, the method of raw stir-frying is more suitable for new bacon, because new bacon is more fragrant and can easily make a salty and fresh taste, and new bacon fried winter bamboo shoots or relatively dry vegetables can achieve such an effect."

However, the pea tip has a heavier moisture.

It depends on the craft.

In the past, when there were no greenhouse vegetables, the most suitable for stir-frying bacon was actually garlic vine (Sichuan name, other places should be called garlic sprout tai), but since there was a greenhouse vegetable garlic vine, the taste is like foam, the taste is like chewing wax.

Now the most suitable for stir-frying bacon is garlic sprouts, because no matter how the garlic sprouts are cultivated in greenhouses, the spicy taste will not be weakened.

Stir-fried vegetables are delicious, the key lies in a heavy oil, and in various oils, there is nothing more fragrant than lard, among which the lard refined from bacon and fat is the most high-grade, and the use of lard in Sichuan cuisine is already less, and in many cuisines, the proportion of lard is very large.

Fang Hong sliced the bacon: "Look, the current bacon, the outside is golden, but the inside is pink, everyone now lives in the city, like to use the refrigerator to store, this kind of bacon that is not cooked inside, even if it is put in the refrigerator for a year, it will not be cooked, it is best to rub the weather is not hot, hang it outside, let it be cooked through, but don't hang it in a place where the wind is too strong, the meat that has been smoked is not suitable for the wind to blow, it will become firewood." ”

Without using too much seasoning, a plate of fried bacon with pea tips came out: "I mainly want to eat its smoked flavor, so I didn't add seasoning." ”

The smoky flavor of the new meat is very strong, but it is not strong, and the surface flavor is very large, but it is not much different from the fresh meat inside.

After all, there hasn't been much dehydration yet.

Fang Hong ate: "It's done, it should be no problem, I'll try again when it's not live, it's completely okay to do in the past few days." ”

When the time comes, of course, you will try it privately.

A fan of pork is half of the pig, from the pork legs, the pig's tail, to all kinds of meat, to the bones, to the pig's head meat, plus the internal organs, there are many parts that can be used to cook vegetables, even if the live broadcast is to use bacon to cook, the opponent can't guess what Fang Hong is going to do, but if the specific part is told, the opponent can come up with countermeasures after learning about it.

In the afternoon, Fang Hong went to the indoor competition venue again, and today is the second group of one-eighth matchups, against the French Burgundy team and the Indian team.

Speaking of which, the players of the Burgundian team are acquaintances.

Paportu Pascal, a French celebrity chef who used to be the head chef of a three-star restaurant, left his job and started his own restaurant, and it is said that he quickly got a three-star four-gold cross rating this year.

This evaluation shows that the taste of this restaurant is extreme, the service is very good, and the level of luxury has reached the limit.

This Pascal finished eighth in the world in the competition the year before, but the competition at that time was not the current format, using the points rule, under which it is difficult for Western chefs to compare with Eastern chefs, and this year Pascal is also the favorite to win the championship.

Indians like to use spices in cooking, such as curry, chili, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, ginger, garlic, fennel, cinnamon, etc., among which the most common and most used are. Curry powder is a spicy condiment made with more than 20 spices such as pepper, turmeric and fennel, and is in the form of a yellow powder. Indians have a soft spot for curry powder, which is used in almost every dish, chicken curry, fish curry, potato curry, cauliflower curry, rice curry, and soup curry.

India's food culture is also miserable, and there are reasons for the monotony of the diet.

Firstly, musilin does not eat pork, and secondly, Hindus do not eat beef. In this case, the Indian upper caste class and musilin do not eat pork, while 87 percent of the country's population does not eat beef, which makes pork and beef very cheap in this country, but not sold.

Since no one eats it, of course, the corresponding dishes cannot be formed.

Mutton is very expensive in India, because everyone eats mutton, but the efficiency of mutton production is too poor compared to pigs and cattle, so it is very expensive.

Chicken is common, but the recipe is usually curry.

So, Indian food is actually quite delicious, but it's just a few dishes back and forth.

"Looks like Pascal is ready to come out with some real skills."

In the group stage, against the United States and Hawaii, there is nothing to be serious, Pascal is the only seeded player who has not shown real skills so far.

Pascal's menu is grilled Camembert, side dishes are Saint-Jacques scallops, the main course is foie gras, and the dessert is mango soufflé.

Fang Hong: "Who remembers when I went to find Pascal in Paris at that time, I ordered a few dishes. ”

"Who remembers this."

"In addition to the foie gras, the remaining three dishes were the ones I ordered at the time."

If you insist on an analogy, these three dishes are basically similar to the degree of civilization of Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, and mapo tofu in Chinese cuisine, and are one of the most famous dishes in French cuisine.

The first course is grilled cheese, Camembert cheese is a delicious cheese originating from the Normandy region of France. Thanks to the French Designation of Origin Control (AOC) system of 1983, it was named after the village of Camembert in the department of Orne, and became one of the emblematic cuisines of France.

"Although the use of this dish can be regarded as an importance, it also shows that the chef in India is not qualified enough."

Because this cheese is best made in the spring of the first half of the year, and the taste is best in the next 30 days of the second month, although there is no such restriction after industrialization, but like bean paste, it is divided into grades.

With this, it shows that Indian chefs are valued by Pascal, but their rank is not enough.

Fang Hong looked at Pascal and smiled slightly: "In addition to our own team, the most familiar with Sichuan cuisine in other teams may be this Pascal, he is my biggest opponent." ”

Many years ago, Fang Hong's father Fang Shaowu won the prime-aged Pascal, at that time Pascal was passionate and dared to be the first, but now Pascal is old, has become old and calm, but has to face a second strong opponent.

Fang Hong: "I'm going to treat him to a drink after the game. ”
