Chapter 82: Cooking Competition
"Then, this young man, I don't know if I have the honor to dine together" After the steak came up, the foreign uncle gentleman raised his hand to Ke Hong and asked gentlemanly. , Search for the Witch God Ji to read this book# The latest chapter Ke Hong took his share of the food and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, let's eat together." ”
With that, the two came to the seat in front of the uncle and sat down face to face.
Ke Hong makes curry pork with mango salad, lemongrass, red pepper, fresh ginger, garlic, lime leaves, cinnamon powder and coriander, add a little salt, black pepper and mash it into a paste, add olive oil, it is a handmade curry sauce, the fresh curry sauce is much richer than the curry made from curry powder or curry paste in terms of fragrance and taste.
Then the pork cut into small pieces is fried until golden brown, as for the pork, he chooses pork neck, which is tender, soft, fat and lean with the right match, easy to stew, after frying each side, add onions and curry sauce and stir-fry, add a little coconut milk and stir-fry, add chicken stock, palm sugar and lime leaves, and stew with soy sauce and a little fish sauce to collect water to thicken, and it is done.
It's perfect for making a mango salad to relieve the greasy taste of the meat and pair it with a few slices of bread with this pork curry. Just this rich fragrance made this foreign uncle swallow his saliva.
"I'd love to try this pork curry now, but I've always liked to save my favorite things for last, so let's try this steak first." The foreign uncle said, turning to the steak in front of him.
That steak was not a black pepper steak, although it was still the sirloin steak chosen, but Huang Yi also dyed in the sauce, and the pale orange sauce was probably a modification made with Thousand Island sauce.
The uncle felt the temperature hardness with his index finger, then cut the steak and observed the color of the side cuts, shook his head before eating, and showed Huang Yi: "What I ask for is medium rare, but you, the heat is a little too much, and you prefer medium rare." In fact, I don't think there is any need to compare at this point, after all, this is the basic skill. ”
Huang Yi blushed and had nothing to say, but the uncle tensed his face and said, "However, out of politeness, I'd better taste the sauce, after all, what I thought was brilliant just now was also the sauce of the steak." ”
As he spoke, the foreign uncle cut off a piece of beef, dipped it in some sauce and tasted it, chewed it for a while, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said: "The sauce prepared with Qiandao sauce is slightly sweet in taste, and the sauce itself is too strong to cover up the taste of beef, you must know that the purpose of the sauce in the steak is to set off and amplify the umami of the beef itself." The sauce itself has almost no taste, just a fragrance and a hint of sourness to bring out the seasoning of the steak itself. ”
Speaking of this, the foreign uncle picked out some sauce with a spoon and poured it down: "In addition, your Qiandao sauce is cold, and it is too thin, so my hot steak is almost cold after a while after it is served." ”
But then, the uncle smiled kindly again: "Anyway, the taste is okay, and the basic skills are okay." But it's just okay, there are a lot of chefs with this kind of cooking skills. I have to say that this kind of cooking alone is still not worthy of that single Michelin star, and it is no wonder that the upgrade review has not passed for two consecutive years. ”
Immediately, the foreign uncle was not angry, and turned to Ke Hong with a smile.
"Mind letting me taste a little," the foreign uncle laughed.
Ke Hong was eating happily, and he was happy to watch the play on the side, he nodded with a smile when he heard the words, scooped up a spoonful of curry pork and poured it on a piece of dry bread and handed it over. The uncle sniffed, a hint of intoxication flashed across his face, and then he opened his mouth and ate it.
"Oh my God," the uncle covered his mouth like a shy girl, "I heard a symphony of so many spices, I could taste lemongrass, lime leaves, cinnamon powder and coriander, and the harmony and perfect combination was like Beethoven's Ode to Joy, and the pork neck you chose was wonderful."
After complimenting, the uncle looked at the plate of dishes on the plate in front of Ke Hong and said, "But I think you can add some fresh pickled radish and fresh tomatoes to the side of the finished product to simply decorate it, which can be regarded as increasing the appearance." However, considering that you are just making it for yourself, I think this dish can still be scored 8. ”
"Such a high evaluation, but only eight points," Manager Yang muttered beside him.
Huang Yi was angry and annoyed by this uncle's stern words, it was nothing, but this uncle praised Ke Hong's work again, he couldn't bear it, so he snorted coldly, ripped off his apron, snatched the plate from the uncle and said: "Tasteless guy, it's better to feed the dog if you're still talking to me about what steak here, hum"
The uncle didn't react, but Dong Qingyue's face turned pale at that time: "How can you say that, the guest apologizes quickly"
"I'm telling the truth, I think I'm a foreigner, I know more about the doneness and taste of the steak than the Chinese, don't you look down on people, is there a problem with your taste and what Qiandao sauce is too thin and cold, it's clearly a bone in the egg, come to find fault," Huang Yi pointed to the foreign uncle's nose and rebuked.
"Shut up" Dong Qingyue scolded angrily, and then bowed to the foreign uncle: "I'm very sorry, don't you mind"
The uncle smiled and grabbed the magazine on the table, and then opened one of the pages, on which was the uncle's photo. Take another look at the name of the magazine, "Global Food" weekly.
"My name is Grim Justin, I'm the writer for this weekly, and I'm a wandering foodie, hello." The uncle stretched out his hand to Huang Yi and smiled, this time Huang Yi's face instantly turned from red to white, he didn't say anything, he didn't apologize, turned his head and left.
"I'm really sorry, I'm very sorry" Dong Qingyue panicked, bowed and apologized again and again, "I hope this incident will not affect your opinion of our head office, that is just his personal opinion, please understand"
A restaurant has a Michelin star, that's just the restaurant's business, no matter how many branches the store opens, the branch itself will not have a star rating, only the one that has passed the review, the so-called branch is just a convenient advertisement through the fame of the head office, so in fact, the level of the branch will not be linked to the head office, Dong Qingyue's behavior is also a bit unfounded.
"Ah, it's okay, although I encountered rude behavior, I also tasted good food, which can be regarded as making up for it." Gram smiled at Ke Hong, then held his chin and looked at him quietly, and suddenly said, "Can I have another slice?"
Looking at the other party's child-like innocence, it is hard for Ke Hong to imagine that he is described in this magazine as "the most severe online food critic in the United States", and from the current situation, everything the other party says is very pertinent.
"Ah, please use it." Ke Hong smiled helplessly and handed over the plate, "There are many more." ~ Search for basket color, you can read the following chapters in full
