Chapter 84: Salt and Pepper Pleurotus (Collect)
may be the reason why the program team discussed with the contestants in advance, everyone is very open in front of the camera, either expressing their ambitions, or crying miserably than poor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Shan, as a food editor in his last life, also paid attention to the program "Top Chef", but it was produced by Dragon TV, and the content was quite exciting.
Aside from the early knockout rounds, there are two main processes in the competition: the first competition process is to conduct the mystery box challenge, the creative dish competition, and the stress test in turn; The second type of competition involves a team competition, a skills test, and a stress test.
The highlight of the show is that the three food observers are national stars, top chefs and gourmets, professional and distinctive, and the talent show is combined with touching stories, which has received high ratings.
Although the contestants in it all say that they are not professional chefs, judging from their performance on TV, their level is no less than that of the chef of an ordinary restaurant, and they are proficient in a variety of cuisines, such as Chinese, Western, RB, Thai, etc.
It is enough to show that "Top Chef" is a culinary challenge in line with international standards, which requires not only excellent cooking skills, but also a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine and rich creativity.
Therefore, before coming to participate in the competition, Zhang Shan thought about it and decided to exchange two culinary skills, one Western cooking (French cuisine) and one Western pastry (French cuisine).
Both only need 5 points for beginners, and 10 points for upgrading to intermediate, a total of 30 free attribute points are needed, which is just enough to spend the rewards of the last task of the system, plus a little attribute point exchanged for a thousand popularity accumulated during this time, he added it to innovation.
In this way, Zhang Shan will instantly master Chinese and Western food, and there will be a qualitative improvement as a whole.

As for why I chose French food, it is because French cuisine is still the best Western cuisine in the world, and the French have always been known for being good at eating and being good at eating.
The characteristics of the cuisine include a wide selection of materials, fine processing, exquisite cooking, strong and light taste, and many varieties of colors and colors, which are just in line with Zhangshan's colorful and innovative style.
At this moment, the camera brother gave the lens to Zhang Shan, and a staff member asked, "Zhang Shan, what are you going to do?" ”
Do what? What can show the special taste of the combination of Chinese and Western food?
Zhang Shan smiled, "I'm going to make a dish of king oyster mushrooms!" ”
The king oyster mushroom is large in size, and its name is due to its almond aroma and the taste of the mushroom meat like abalone, but it is not very common on the Chinese table, because its main growing area is in Europe and the Mediterranean, and it is mostly used in Western food.
Although the oyster mushrooms prepared by the "Top Chef" program team are not top ingredients, they are also cooking shows after all, and the appearance and meat quality are still reasonable.
Zhang Shan took two oyster mushrooms and washed them, placed them on the board, used the [Flower Twisting Knife Method], cut them into strips and placed them in a pot, pinched a little refined salt, sprinkled them one by one, and began to pickle.
During this process, the camera followed the filming, recording his knife skills and the beauty of the oyster mushroom ingredients.
On the side, the strong man and bearded man was unhappy, hum, I didn't expect the competition to go through the back door, even the shooting went through the back door, a piece of garbage, what is there to shoot, sooner or later it will be eliminated!
Zhang Shan ignored these, and after preparing the main ingredients, he found two eggs and beat them into a bowl, stirred them well with a whisk, added an appropriate amount of refined flour, and mixed them into a golden batter.
In his last life, one of his favorite dishes when he was a child was fried mushrooms, which was somewhat similar to the method of dry-fried tenderloin, so this time, why can't he use the Chinese method to make oyster mushrooms, which are ingredients in Western food?
Ten minutes passed, and when the salt grains had melted into the deep flesh of the mushroom, it was basically marinated.
While lighting the stove and preheating the oil pot, Zhang Shan took out the whole pot of oyster mushrooms, squeezed out the water, and began to dip the beaten egg batter.
Here, he innovatively prepared some breadcrumbs, which are made from crushed toast bread in Western food, which is widely used in fried foods, and its flavor is crispy and soft, delicious and delicious, with a hint of sweetness, and rich in nutrients.
When he wrapped the oyster mushrooms, on the other side, the oil pot was also seventy percent hot.
Zhang Shan slowly put it in, carefully stirring it to prevent the ingredients from sticking together.
[Master of Heat]!
Just heard the sound of "swish", the gas flame immediately erupted, the sound was very loud, and the other contestants around heard it and looked sideways.
Wow, what a subtle means of fire control!
The cameraman hurriedly captured it, and the camera focused on the flames, and saw that the lotus-like flames wrapped the enamel oil pot, which was very beautiful.
Deep frying is one of the most elaborate cooking methods, and oyster mushrooms require more cooking time, in case of insufficient effort, it is easy to fry paste.
But Zhang Shan, who has skills, can easily control all the heat, and when the oyster mushrooms are golden and crispy, he finds a fence to fish them out.
After controlling the oil, it was served on a brown solid wood plate, which he had particularly enjoyed since the last time he made a pepper potato.
Similarly, Zhang Shan finally found a sieve, put salt and pepper on it, held it on top of the fried oyster mushrooms, and shook them carefully.
Layers of salt and pepper fall on the breadcrumbs outside the king oyster mushroom in a small and uniform manner, which looks beautiful and fragrant and attractive!
Salt and pepper oyster mushrooms, the dish is made!
After a few more moments, the voiceover begins to count down "dripping", and the narrator announces, "Four, three, two, one!" Time is over! ”
Most of the contestants stopped what they were doing, and only a few of them had not finished yet, and wanted to continue cooking, but they were forced to stop by the staff, and they had no choice but to hurriedly set the plate.
At the end, each contestant's dish was put on the dining car with an enamel dinner cover fastened on it.
Li Qiurui on the side wanted to see what kind of dishes Zhang Shan cooked, but this was in vain, but that kid's taste was also first-class, and the level should be good.
Oh, I'm worried about what he's doing, let's worry about myself, I heard that this Liu Yifan used to be the executive chef of the Fairmont Peace Hotel, and he is extremely strong, and I must get his praise this time.
Thinking of his demented grandfather, who has worked hard to cook since he was a child, this rich second generation and impolite second ancestor can understand it at all!
