Chapter 344: The Taste of Home
Chiyo's sense of smell is no longer sensitive, but she can judge the heat by poking the shellfish, and when she is ready to cook old, it is when the chemical reaction is complete!
Scoop out a small spoonful of soup with egg drop, egg whites, and diced pork with scallops, pour it over the soba noodles, put it on a plate, and let people take it out!
"Please taste!"
The golden egg yolk, white egg whites, and tender fresh shellfish meat are poured over the slightly cool yellow soba noodles, raising the temperature of this dish again!
This dish is somewhat similar to NIKI's signature dish, 'Strong Dish', but different.
Less decoration and artistic placement, more simple, simple to the ultimate fisherman's dish!
When Chiyo was very young, her grandmother's body was already dead and she could no longer be in charge. One day she had a bad appetite and couldn't eat, so her grandmother made such a dish......
And then Chiyo ate it all!
In Chiyo's memory, this dish is a divine dish that can make a person who doesn't want to eat and feels irritated kill a big bowl in one go! And she doesn't need to maintain a good sense of taste to see if it's done well!
The five people picked up the chopsticks and put them in their mouths, but they all stagnated!
Ayako Aoi also moved her chopsticks, and as soon as she put them in her mouth, she closed her eyes, and tears actually flowed down......
'Actually crying?' Is it so unpalatable? Tang Hai also made a small plate himself, tasted it, and then was equally stunned!
"Delicious! The glutamic acid in the scallop and the hypoxanthine nucleoic acid in the egg have completely reacted, which makes the umami of the seafood ten times higher! And the scallop meat is just at the moment when it is tender to the extreme and ready to grow old, chewing it is chewy and sweet! This soba is also carefully crafted, smooth and tough! Perfect! Ayako Aoi's mouth was still chewing, holding the empty plate, and said in a trembling voice, "This reminds me of the taste that my grandmother made twenty years ago!" It's been 20 years since anyone ever made me this simple and pure delicacy! ”
"One more plate!"
"I want it too!"
"The real delicacy is 10 points, 7 points ingredients and 3 points craftsmanship, but many people forget that the ingredients themselves are very delicious when they are well matched!"
"It really smells like home. Think it's been two years since I went back to my hometown to see my grandmother......"
Chiyo and Aoi, as well as the kitchen staff, were all nervous at first, but they were all relieved at this time, and there were even high-fives!
Ayako Aoi ate three small plates in a row. Finally stopped.
"Thank you for the food, I think you can be called a 'craftsman' by now, but it's best to have a competent taster to help you during the 'special period'...... Of course, if your level is further improved, you can also judge the taste by instinct during special periods......"
A dry kitchen staff came out to thank them. Tang Hai is also among them.
Ayako and the others walked in front of several people one by one, and when they were in front of Tang Hai, Ayako's footsteps stopped for a moment and smiled.
"Let's go."
"Welcome to the next visit!"
After waiting for someone to leave.
"Don! She said I'm a craftsman! Ha! Chiyo directly gave Tang Hai a hug, and then Aoi. She clenched her fists and gestured 'victory', and she looked full of energy.
No matter how good a chef is without the approval of a gourmet, it is useless, and a man as good as Massimo is scolded as a 'traitor to the Italian chef world' because of the fact that tortellini usually serve 10 on a plate, and he serves 6. Later, a group of people took the words of the prejudiced gourmets as the Bible, and scolded them even if they didn't investigate and understand them, and even if they hadn't eaten them.
Two days later, the most important Italian magazine, Espresso, published a review of the gourmet, calling Massimo's pasta 'postmodern fettuccine', saying that he regretted not coming to the restaurant earlier, and regretted that the locals of Modena did not appreciate it......
Then Massimo went from everyone shouting and beating the Italian traitor. Became a visionary chef superstar!
Modena, Parma, Bologna, Milan and finally all over Italy!
That's the!
If it weren't for the gourmet, there would be no Italian chef Massimo! There is no Italian restaurant that is now the third best in the top 50 restaurants in the world!
For chefs who have not yet been recognized, there is a gourmet's affirmation. It's all they go after!
Chiyo is also recognized as a 'craftsman' for the first time, and it is also Ayako Aoi, who is known for being mean! One moment it was almost closed down by Ayako Aoi, and the next moment it was already foreseeable that the restaurant would be on fire!
"The concept of Tianhai Yixin Restaurant is to let people experience what the fishermen's meals are like for a day on the small fishing boat between the sky and the sea. Seasonal seafood, back to the original. But the soba noodles in scallop egg soup are extremely delicious, and I am reminded of the food my grandmother cooked 20 years ago, which is the taste of home. Now the head chef of Tenkai Ichishin No. 1 is Chiyo Amami, the daughter of chef Tenkai Yu, and it is hard to believe that the dish was made by a young girl, and I regret not going sooner, and I guess I will go there more often, after all, this is the highest level I have ever met, a Japanese female chef under the age of 30......"
In the food newspaper, Ayako's column is really highly regarded by Chiyo!
But what attracts the attention of diners even more is the next words!
"What surprised me even more was not Chiyo's cooking, but her third chef! The third chef who was responsible for selecting and handing over the ingredients was Tang Hai, the brightest Asian chef in the world last year! This is a person who is not even afraid of fast food giants, and even very conceited refused the French chef competition, no matter who eats his dishes, he thinks he is a three-star level! I've been waiting for him to cook so that I can say that Amami is bent on cheating, and then scold the store until it closes...... However, from beginning to end, he just handed over the ingredients and didn't do anything else, he was very curious about the relationship between them, and I heard that Amami Chiyo had stayed in the United States, and the two must have met at that time......"
Tang Hai is the third chef!
It's much more appealing than the 'taste of home' before!
Many people went to see it, but they didn't see Tang Hai, and the two newly bought princesses had already sailed to the sea.
Slowly, people found that the taste of Tianhai Isshin is really good, and it really has a very unique 'taste of home'!
Chiyo's professional evaluation is not high, and no one thinks that she is a chef with top cooking skills, but her 'taste of home' has also attracted many diners, and slowly, she has eased up, and the number of frequent diners is gradually increasing.
Everyone knows that the chef in the kitchen is Chiyo, but when she sees people coming every day, she still smiles and puts on her hat, then bends down to grab the two windows and slowly closes them.
