Chapter 3 The fragrance of tempeh

"Why do you say the Knights Templar, because the theme of the next adventure is the three knights, but before we do that, we'll see how the masters are doing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In this month, soy sauce makers were added, and Fang Hong wanted to boil a pot of lard on the spot, and then seal it, which will have a big effect in the future.

"Lard is such a thing...... The soul of Sichuan cuisine is rapeseed oil, but some dishes must use a mixture of animal and plant oil, so we need lard, so we have to boil the oil and then seal it. ”

Fang Hong arrived at the temporary workshop, this time it really cost a lot of money, not only us, but also people from other countries came to prepare the materials early, including cheese and wine, all kinds of jams and so on.

Anyway, if you like to play yin, Fang Hong's faction, led by Master Shi, is ready for everyone to play like this.

Bean paste needs a few years of maturity, but don't you need those Western foods?

Especially for the dishes of the red wine stuffy series, the red wine does not want to be vintage?

In short, due to the new regulations, this year's cooking competition seems to have become several levels higher, and many people are preparing half a year in advance.

The bean paste has been put away, and it has to be turned over every day, the climate in France is better than that of Britain and Germany, and if this competition is held in the United Kingdom, there will be no such thing as bean paste.

Including soy sauce, tempeh and so on, you can't make it in the sunshine of the UK.

The organizing committee is too, this time I was going to do something, but I ended up putting myself in.

The judges of the organizing committee were made up of foodies from all over the world, but now they have to stay in this small place to supervise the production of semi-finished materials by the teams.

After Fang Hong came over, he immediately notified the people of the organizing committee, because the lard that Fang Hong wanted to make was also one of the semi-finished materials under supervision.

Anyway, this time the scale is extremely huge, and in addition to things like soy sauce and bean paste, which need to be taken care of for a long time, there are many things that need to be made here and then sealed.

Every time someone comes from China to make a production, the organizing committee must be notified to come and supervise.

The organizing committee is a chubby French native, and it is estimated that the organizing committee can only let local people stay and supervise now.

"There are many different parts of lard, for example, there is a net-like oil in the pig's belly that is like a rag that has been damaged by long-term contact with water, we call it cloth oil, and the largest piece of oil in the pig's belly is called plate oil. ”

"This time I'm going to boil two oils, three parts each, just in case. ”

"Cut the lard into cubes and throw it directly into an iron pan to heat. ”

As you boil, the oil will slowly seep out.

This way of refining oil is called boiling oil, and it is generally only suitable for boiling lard, after all, other animals can't find such a large piece of oil.

The people from the organizing committee were watching from the side, and Fang Hong didn't see it, just explaining to the sailors.

After the training, Fang Hong put the oil into several cans: "This has to be opened for a day, and the cans will be sealed tomorrow, I don't understand the climate change here, so I plan to seal the cans and put them in the refrigerator." ”

"These jars, put them in the refrigerator?"

"Well, although it is more flavorful outside, I am afraid that it will be broken and will not be able to use it. ”

"Brother Gun, it's three cans anyway, why don't you put one can of each one and try it outside, what if it's time for the competition, the taste is just right?"

"Wit. Fang Hong nodded: "I was persuaded by you." ”

The organizing committee asked the team's interpreter, and the interpreter told them that they would stay overnight, and they would not wait, so they set up a camera on the spot, and when it was time to seal the cans tomorrow, they would take the video away and seal it.

Now the list of 32 teams has been announced, a total of eight countries and regions in East Asia, eight countries in West Asia and Africa, eight countries in Western Europe and North America, India, Brazil, Argentina and Pacific Islanders plus several other scattered teams, a total of eight countries, a total of 32 teams.

This time, the scale of the competition is huge, and this time, the eight teams of the Oriental Cultural Circle are Sichuan Cuisine Team, Shandong Cuisine Team, Hui Cuisine Team, HK Team, RB Team, South Korea Team, Thailand Team, and Taiwan Strait Team.

Among them, RB South Korea and Thailand are excluded, China has five teams, each of which is extremely strong, if it were not for this, it would not have changed the rules of the game, just because the Chinese team won the championship for many years in a row, they came up with this idea.

When Fang Hong finished his work, he ran around the world with the camera.

Teams from other countries are also making what they need, and because the stations are all together, they can be seen.

"In a cooking competition, almost most of the seasonings in the world will be used, among which salt and sugar are the standard basic seasonings of Western food, originally they wanted to say that the basic seasonings do not need to be made on site, Master Shi also agreed, and chose monosodium glutamate and vinegar to add the first level of seasonings, but I refused, so ...... You read that right, this bunch of people over here is drying sea salt. ”

"And this kind of operation?"

"It's so big?"

"In addition to the basic seasoning, the second is fresh seasoning, including green onions (shallots, shallots), ginger, garlic, chili, leeks, coriander, celery, wasabi, horseradish (mustard), white truffle, rattan pepper. There is no need to prepare, and there will be national teams to bring in the materials, although some of the poorer teams may use local materials. ”

"The seasonings of the third layer are all dry goods, including thirteen kinds of spices such as pepper, pepper, dried ginger, dried chili, star anise, etc., commonly used in the West are cinnamon, lemon leaves, mint, vanilla, nine-story tower, lavender, rosemary, sage, sesame, sesame oil, xingqu, rose perfume, lemongrass and so on. ”

"The fourth level is more complex and includes mixed incense powders, such as thirteen spices, five-spice powders, curries, seven flavors, and so on. ”

"The fifth level is sauce, ketchup, sauce, brine, oyster sauce, XO sauce, HP sauce. ”

"Brother Gun, so many things are made here?"

"That's right, most of the things are already ready, and there are some things that take a long time to make, don't think that only the bean paste and soy sauce will take a long time, but also shrimp paste, oyster sauce, brine, bean curd, miso, cheese, and so on. ”

"Brother Gun, brine...... Is that I the kind of brine I know?"

"That's right, I hired a master chef, this half a year, until the start of the competition, I have to boil two kinds of brine, one is the old brine of the braised meat every day, which must be accumulated to the perfect taste before the start of the competition, and the other is the brine used as a seasoning. Seeing this, the Italians are making cheese, which is what we call cheese. "Cheese also needs to be fermented, and there will be mold in the process, which is similar to the preparation process of bean paste, but they are very disgusting, and some of them will have worms.

"Anything else?"

"There are cooking wine, rice wine, beer, white wine, red wine, mirin, light soy sauce and so on. ”

Fang Hong took a deep breath: "The master has started to steam the tempeh, and a smell of beans has come out, and the next thing is to ferment and dry, making it an excellent seasoning." ”

Standing here, you can smell the seasonings of the world, some choking, some choking, some spicy eyes, some fragrant, some elegant, some tasteless, and some ......

"F**K, the Chinese next door are playing chili peppers again, run away!"

The smell of the new issue of bean paste and the smell of freshly beaten chili peppers filled the entire village, and Fang Hong showed a smug smile.
