Chapter 114: Coconut milk with lobster, maybe it's better

"Okay, then we won't bother you busy, and we'll call you before the show starts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Okay."

After the two exchanged phone calls, Sun Lei and Wang Xiang left immediately.

In the next few days, in addition to telling Song Qi about his father's speculation, Zhang Shan checked the official website of the program about "Wilderness Food".

To be honest, he was still very interested in this show, and this show did not appear in the previous life.

On Friday evening, the second episode of "Top Chef" was launched, and Zhang Shan's meat sauce and strawberry yogurt cake in the mystery box challenge once again hung up the craze for creative cakes, and Liang Yi's yam eel soup also won the favor of many professional gourmets.

Suddenly, the selection of the champion was hotly discussed between the two.

A few days later, it was the day of the recording of "Top Chef", and the contestants came to the factory early in the morning, and a wooden box printed with the program logo was placed on everyone's independent kitchen, and it was time for a new round of mystery box challenges.

What surprised everyone even more was that in the center of the stage, there was also a mystery box, and it was huge, the size of three or four people lying down.

At this time, the three food judges walked to the center of the stage, Cao Kefan changed into a white suit today, with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to everyone for continuing to stand on the stage of "Top Chef", we eliminated a total of two contestants in the last round, but I hope you will not be sad, continue to stick to your food dreams, and go on bravely." ”

"Today, our competition is still a mystery box challenge, we have prepared two mystery boxes for you, first, please open the box in front of you first." Liu Yifan took over the words and shouted.

Everyone prayed that it must be the ingredient they are good at!

Zhang Shan also opened the box, and what caught his eye was: lotus root, eggs, radish, coriander, vermicelli and pickled peppers, etc., and coconut milk?

Some people are confused, how do these ingredients be combined?

Liang glanced at it and focused on the fans, this time, I will never lose!

"I'm sure you're all looking forward to what's in this big mystery box in front of us." Liu Yifan pointed in front of him, "Come, everyone come to the front." ”

Suddenly, everyone immediately ran to the stage excitedly.

After the contestants arrived, the three judges walked to the box together, pulled the lid and read, "Okay, three, two, one!" ”

As soon as the sound stopped, the lid was lifted, and the box instantly dispersed.

"Wow!"

Everyone was amazed, and it turned out to be four huge transparent glass jars, and they were full of seafood!

"That's right, it's seafood!"

Liu Yifan smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, "What we prepared today are lobsters, cuttlefish, sea urchins, pee shrimp and scallops!" ”

Some of the contestants couldn't help but get excited, haha, seafood is my specialty, it's amazing!

Some people even drool when they think about the food they have made.

Cao Kefan stretched out his hand and gestured, "Now you can choose the ingredients you want, you need to use seafood as the main ingredient, with one or more ingredients in the small mystery box to make a dish." ”

"The rules are no stranger to everyone, we will select the three best dishes to taste according to everyone's cooking performance, and the contestant who wins the first place will have the priority to choose the ingredients of the next round of creative dishes."

Li Zongsheng grinned: "Okay, the time of this game is very short, only sixty minutes, you have to hurry up, the game has officially started!" ”

"Huh? So fast! ”

The contestants immediately rushed to the seafood vat to select the ingredients.

Zhang Shan thought for a moment, chose a lobster, and roughly looked at the quality, the program team was willing to pay the cost, and it turned out to be an Australian lobster instead of Boston.

The scientific name of Australian lobster is Australian rock lobster, which belongs to the precious seawater economic shrimp species, the whole body is fiery red, the claws are golden yellow, the body is large and the meat is thick, the nutrition is rich, the meat is delicate, smooth and crispy, the taste is delicious and sweet, the flavor is unique, the taste is much better than the Boston lobster, of course, the price is also a lot higher.

Back in the independent kitchen, Zhang Shan saw that Liang Yi chose the shrimp, and he also moved, he set his goal on coconut milk, if this ingredient is used well, it will definitely be a big killer.

In French Western food, there are many cooking methods for lobster, the most common is frying and steaming, which will maximize the taste of lobster meat, but today he wants to use the stir-fry method to combine Chinese and Western again.

First of all, Zhang Shan first heated the pot, washed the lobster and removed the urine glands, cut off the head and body with a knife, and completely cut the tail lobster shell, exposing all the white and tender shrimp meat inside.

Zhang Shan took out the shrimp meat and put it on the cutting board, used the [Winding Flower Knife Method] to chop it, boiled the lobster head into the water and changed color and then took it out, and also deducted the shrimp yellow and shrimp meat, mixed together.

Then he set up the wok and crumbled the tiny ingredients in the mystery box: shallots, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass.

Citronella, also known as lemongrass, has a fresh fragrance and strong aroma, which is most suitable for cooking seafood and enhancing freshness.

After the wok's preheating was completed, Zhang Shan immediately used the two skills of [Fire Master] and [Treasure Gourmet Pot], and in an instant, the golden light on the side of the pot was overflowing, and the flames soared to the sky.

Taking advantage of the situation, he took out the butter and heated it, and put the previously chopped ingredients chives, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass into the pot, and the rich milky flavor of the butter accompanied these ingredients, combining a wonderful aroma in the pot.

Feeling that it was almost over, Zhang Shan poured in the sliced lobster meat, turned the pot, and used the [Whirling Explosion Method] in one breath, because in the skill state of the Fire Master, he was now extremely sensitive to the control of the fire.

When the shrimp meat was about eight years old, he held the bottle in his right hand, lit a little cooking wine, and then poured milk, coconut milk, a little sugar, and salt in succession.

Because the lobster meat is fresh and sweet, with coconut milk, it can just bring his sweetness to the extreme, and he controls it to medium-rare, which retains the crispness and smoothness of the lobster meat.

After thinking about it, Zhang Shan felt that it might be too sweet, so he brought white pepper, grinded it a few times, and sprinkled it evenly in the pot, with a spicy taste, with lemongrass, it would not make the taste of the whole dish too simple.

Then, he urged the heat to boil, and when the soup was thick, he added a raw egg yolk to thicken it.

The white and tender soup is constantly churning, the milky aroma is overflowing, and as the bubbles come out, the white and tender bright red shrimp meat can be faintly seen floating up, just looking good, it makes people very appetizing. (To be continued.) )
