Chapter 137: The Oven and Chazuke
"I choose a barbecue!" Chen Xiao paid attention to it, and a crazy dish gradually came out of his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Good! Then let's prepare it separately, and I'll leave the main food to me! Kohei Soma thrust the thick Santoku knife into the cutting board, gave a thumbs up, and a mouthful of white teeth leaked out of his bright smile.
"Today's young people are full of fighting spirit, but it's not so easy to pass my test." Looking at the two who were busy preparing the ingredients, the corners of Wen Xu's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer.
Barbecue, Chen Xiao is no stranger.
When he was in college, he also worked at a barbecue stall for a while, and if he used a long barbecue grill, he only needed to master the heat, not to burn the meat, and at the same time rotate it frequently, so that the meat was evenly heated, so as to achieve the effect of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
But with this kind of roadside stall craftsmanship, can it pass the test of staying in Polestar Liao?
"Hello, I'm Zenji Marui, and this is Jun Ibusaki." Seeing Chen Xiao coming, Marui with a pair of round eyes said hello simply.
"Hello, my name is Chen Xiao, and Youji has been introduced just now." Chen Xiao nodded and looked at the two with a smile.
The purple-haired Ibu still didn't react, concentrating on the barbecue under his hand.
"Well, you leave him alone, he's a cooking maniac." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Marui shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay if you come, we can take a break after we finish roasting this meat, and the stove will be handed over to you to use." ”
"I didn't come to borrow the shelf, but I was just curious about the taste of your barbecue, some of which are different from the usual."
"That's what you're talking about! You taste it. Marui touched his head, and then handed a bunch of meat that had been tested to Chen Xiao.
Before he could make a move, a mellow aroma had already overflowed from the mutton that had been roasted to a golden brown, unlike any barbecue Chen Xiao had ever eaten on earth, and there was a mysterious smoky taste in it.
It is worthy of being a student of Yuanyue Academy, Chen Xiao sighed in his heart and sent the skewer of barbecue to his mouth.
The outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the aroma of the meat explodes in the mouth with every bite, and the seasonings such as chili pepper and cumin are fused with the meat quality, making people appetizing at the same time, but not greasy.
"The smell ...... Is it smoked? After savoring it, there is a lingering aroma surrounding Chen Xiao's mouth, which is definitely not a taste that barbecue can make!
"Yes, this is Yiwu's characteristic bacon, in fact, this time it is also an attempt to make barbecue, but I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good." Marui patted Yiwu's shoulder on the side and explained to Chen Xiao with a smile.
"It's slightly smoked meat." Ibu, who had been silent, corrected.
Chen Xiao put the skewer in the tray, was a little silent, raised his head and glanced at Wen Xu a few steps away, and saw that she also turned her head and smiled at herself.
The meaning in Wen Xu's smile is obvious, if you want to pass her test, you must at least reach the level of this smoked barbecue!
"By the way, if you don't borrow a barbecue grill, what are you going to use to grill?" Marui looked at Chen Xiao curiously, and then waved his hand with some regret: "It's a pity that it's the check-in exam, everything can only rely on yourself, and this delicious bacon can't be used as an ingredient." ”
"Thank you, but I've already paid attention, and although I can't say that I will definitely pass the exam, I will do my best." Chen Xiao expressed his gratitude to Marui for his kindness, and then walked to the side of the iron barbecue that was left unused and said, "I want to use this to make barbecue!" ”
"Use this?" Even Yi Wu turned his head to look at Chen Xiao in surprise.
The oven is large, half a man tall, round and semi-enclosed, with a set of pillars for charcoal, and a row of circular iron shelves for pastries or meats.
Unlike simple grills, this type of grill is a cumbersome and thankless way way to grill meat, requiring a certain level of control over the heat and temperature.
"yes, that's what I use, it should still work, right?" Chen Xiao opened the lid of the furnace and checked the structure inside, although it was not used for a long time, the inside was still wiped clean.
"With this, I want to pass the exam......" Marui hesitated and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wenxu's voice.
"Marui! Don't cheat, be careful I kick you out of Polestar! ”
"Yes, yes!" Marui shrunk his neck, but still kindly reminded Chen Xiao: "The oven is very troublesome to use, you think about it again." ”
"Don't think about it, there's no time to prepare other dishes." Chen Xiao shook his head at him confidently, and then acted decisively, poured a bag of charcoal into the furnace pillar, and then borrowed the Marui charcoal fire that they had already burned red, as an introduction to accelerate the burning of new carbon, and poured it into the furnace pillar.
"I hope the food that the barbecue master in Xinjiang said is really as good as he described!" Chen Xiao was about to work at the barbecue stall when he listened to the Xinjiang master's "special" barbecue method in Xinjiang, and went through it again, and only after making sure that he completely recalled it did he walk to the cooking table again.
"Next is the cured meat,......" Chen Xiao flew with both hands, cut the fresh and tender mutton into large pieces about the size of a baby's fist, and put them in a basin for substitution.
Then mix more than a dozen spices such as eggs, turmeric, pepper, cumin, salt, flour and other spices into a paste, and pour it evenly in the basin where the mutton has just been placed.
"How can such a large piece of mutton taste in such a short time?" Although Erina was talking to Fei Chen and Isshiki, her attention couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiao and Chuangzhen, and when she saw Chen Xiao make such a layman-like move, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Sure enough, it was by luck and a little cleverness that I entered the academy, and now I will be exposed.
Erina turned her head and glanced at him again, and saw that he was actually making tea!
Combined with the cold rice balls placed aside, it's not hard to guess that the dish he wants to make must be ......
Chazuke!
As a representative of Japanese light food, "Chazuke" is a convenient and simple dish that is not usually eaten in high-end restaurants during difficult times.
"What two low-class commoners, they can only cook such low-grade cuisine!" Erina's view of food collapsed again, and I really don't know how these two entered the academy!
I must have been a ghost at the beginning, I must have been!
"Erina, Erina!" Issehui snorted lightly twice, then reminded with a smile: "Erina, what do you think of Fei Chen's proposal to establish a new society?" ”
"Start a new community?" Erina reacted, retracted her gaze, took a sip of the teacup in her hand, and said with a smile: "Let's wait for Senior Fei Chen to become a top ten master." ”
"Ten masters?" Fei Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Next month, I will have a halberd with the eighth seat." ”
