Chapter 101: Impossible Conditions
"Oh? Turns out the sauce is inside? The judges' eyes lit up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After all, it's only a preliminaries, and the three judges in the third division are just insiders of the main committee of the competition, and they are all forty or fifty years old, so they should also be cadres.
After each of the three judges took a piece, the judge on the left, looking at the thick white viscous sauce inside, couldn't help but wonder: "If such a thick sauce is fried in oil, just relying on the flour coating of walnut grains can't stop the flow of sauce, right?" β
"It's seaweed, and there's a layer of seaweed between the walnut coat and the sauce!" Another judge next to him has already seen the clues.
"But let's try it first! Is the lobster fried with milk......"
Although I don't know the specific recipe of the sauce, the sweet milk flavor can't hide from the judges' sense of smell.
With the crunchy "creaking" sound of walnut flour, three pieces of "cloud dragon fried shrimp" have entered the judges' mouths!
"ThisγThis smell is...... White chocolate? β
"But it's not as greasy as white chocolate, and you can still feel the deliciousness of the lobster meat inside!"
"It's a little sticky on the palate, but it's easy to swallow, which is ...... Mousse? White chocolate mousse? β
Watching the three judges eat the lobsters on the plate while talking, Liu Pleiades breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the most satisfying thing for him was that the three judges were obviously not interested in the remaining white sauce on the plate, and after eating the fried lobster, they had already died down.
It can be seen that what really attracts them is still the fried lobster with sauce, not the sauce......
Liu Pleiades had been worried that the sauce he made would be noisy!
Hearing the judges' doubts, Liu Pleiades also replied directly: "That's right, it's the 'white chocolate mousse', which is sauce-like at the high temperature of frying." β
"But we shouldn't have provided mousse powder ......"
"It's not mousse powder, it's a more primitive mousse viscosity I use, which is the medium gum of fish maw! It's not as easy to use as dried fish gelatin, but after all, I don't really need to make a solidified mousse, I just need a sauce similar to mousse! Liu Pleiades said.
Fish maw is rich in collagen, especially the swim bladder of marine fish, which is usually rich in gelatin, and if it is finished drying, it can be made into valuable fish gelatin.
The fish gelatin powder produced from fish gelatin is one of the common ingredients for old-fashioned mousse......
And Liu Pleiades sent Heikiba to fetch two eels back to get the swim bladder, and directly smashed out part of the usable gum with the back of the knife, and then soaked it with milk, cocoa powder and other raw materials to make a relatively thin milk chocolate syrup, and then added it to the "Yunlong Fried Shrimp" as a substitute for the original sauce!
If you consider the word "cloud" alone, the white milk chocolate sauce is indeed more appropriate than the original sauce that has a pale yellow color due to the addition of egg yolk.
In terms of texture and taste, milk chocolate mousse is more viscous, and the taste is sweet and bitter, and because of the fish gelatin, it brings fish umami.
Compared to real milk hot cocoa, there is much less sugar and more milk in quantity, which is halogenated because of the gelatin.
The bitterness of cocoa powder blends with the sweetness and bitterness of walnuts as a coating, and the fish gelatin and sweet milk add to the original taste of lobster!
Prior to this, Liu had been worried that the taste of the sauce would overshadow the lobster, making the "cloud dragon fried shrimp" a mixture of dessert and seafood dishes, and the dish would be more than half a failure.
Although the "spice inequality" has been calculated, milk and fish gelatin, which are not pure protein raw materials for spices, will produce much more flavor changes than spices due to differences in temperature, processing methods, etc., so using the "spice inequality" to calculate these does not guarantee the effect.
So before that, Liu Pleiades had always been a little bottomless in his heart, because Liu Pleiades had only used the "Super God Tongue" to perceive their scent particles, but he had not tasted the finished product as a whole!
After all, in just twenty minutes, Liu Pleiades only completed one piece, and there is no way to divide this fried product into a piece for tasting......
"Hot cocoa mousse sauce made from fish gelatin? Bitter, sweet, and umami, the three flavors are perfectly combined with the fried lobster meat! Are you a pastry chef? The oldest judge in the middle asked.
"No, about desserts...... It was a friend of mine yesterday who went to try various sweets from Hokkaido, including Shiroito Koibito chocolate and cheese mousse, so it inspired me. Liu Pleiades said.
At this time, the dialogue between the judges and the contestants has been broadcast on the big screen, and hearing Liu Yuexing's words, the judges and other viewers are still slightly puzzled in their hearts, why did "a friend" taste the dessert and give him inspiration? Shouldn't you taste it yourself to be inspired?
Only Alice heard what Liu Pleiades was saying, and her face couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, but fortunately, Liu Pleiades didn't continue to explain anything shocking......
"An unexpected dark horse has appeared! The dishes of the fifteen-year-old Liu Pleiades and Kurokiba players were highly praised by the judges! So will they be able to get the same high score of 15 points or more as the other five groups? Let's wait and see! "The emcee is still working hard in the super hot atmosphere.
The three judges showed the score board, only to see that it was clearly written, two 8 points and one 10 points!
The master of ceremonies' voice was obviously stuck, after all, he had no contact with the three judges, and it was completely improvised.
Because of Liu Pleias's age, he didn't think that Liu Pleias's group would qualify......
But now the three numbers on the scoreboard really shocked him, it is no longer a problem of haunting and qualifying, but the highest score of absolute advantage!
"Ten points! Ten points appeared! 8 points, 8 points, 10 points, this is also the highest score in this division, 26 points! The master of ceremonies reacted immediately, and immediately found out the origin of Liu Pleias's group that he hadn't paid attention to before, and later introduced the fact that they were a year student of Yuanyue Academy.
For the praise of the emcee as an afterthought, and the audience was not interested in the exclamation when they learned that he was only 15 years old, Liu Pleiades left the venue after confirming the promotion.
Although some tabloids wanted to interview, the two of them left easily in the battle form of Kurokiba......
After coming out, immediately join Alice, and after that is the biggest test!
"What? Aren't you ready to celebrate your finalists? Alice said deliberately.
"Stay after winning the championship! The real test is only beginning now, and if I can't buy what I need in the afternoon, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to cook something satisfying tomorrow. Liu Pleiades did not mean to relax.
Regarding the raw materials to be purchased today, Liu Pleiades told Alice and Kurokiba yesterday......
"As for dried seafood, I've already had someone deliver it from the Enzuki Hotel's branch in Hokkaido, and something else...... It's common to say that it's common, but if you don't know if it doesn't meet your requirements, let's go to the local shop to find it! Alice said.
Only Liu Pleiades knows in his heart that it is impossible to find raw materials that "fully meet" the requirements, and if he can find some raw materials that meet the requirements as much as possible, he will already be lucky!
That's right, what Liu Pleiades is looking for is the old noodles that are indispensable for making "Four Gods Seafood Babao Town Soul Bun"!
Legend has it that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang went out to the south to conquer the barbarian leader Meng and pacified the southern barbarians after seven captures and seven columns, but on the way back to the army, the river was surging, and the ships were difficult to travel. The barbarian wizard said, saying that this is because the two armies are fighting and killing too much, and countless unjust souls who died in battle are stacked here, so they can't pass......
Zhuge Liang was originally guilty because of the casualties of the Southern Expedition, and since he had pacified the southern land, he should regard it as his people and was unwilling to kill people as sacrifices.
So he sent people to take mutton and pork, wrapped them on the outside, pinched them in the shape of a human head, and threw them into the river instead of a real human head, and at the same time set up an altar to eulogize the deceased, and the next day the wind and waves were calm, and the army was able to return.
Because this kind of "sacrifice" with mutton and pork wrapped in noodles was used to replace human heads, and at that time, according to the concept of the Nandi people, they would definitely use their own human heads as sacrifices, so after this kind of sacrifice developed into a kind of pastry, it was called "barbarian head" and later made "steamed buns".
At the beginning, the "steamed buns" are also divided into meat steamed buns, vegetable steamed buns and white flour steamed buns, since the Song Dynasty, there is a saying of steamed buns, and gradually stuffed steamed buns, whether there are pleats or not, are classified as "steamed buns" in the north, but there are still many areas in the south, which retain the saying of meat steamed buns and vegetable steamed buns.
In the island countries that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, the saying of "steamed bread" has always been retained, but the white flour steamed bread that really has no filling and is not sweet noodles is very rare in the island country.
During the "China Ichiban" period, the dark cuisine world invited Luo Gen, the patriarch of the Bai Luo family, to compete with the little master and his party with the "Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasures Town Soul Steamed Bun", and the "steamed buns" made by Rogan at that time belonged to the most authentic, seafood steamed buns with stuffing inside and no pleats outside!
And the origin of the Luo family is also amazing, it is 1,800 years ago, the pastry family of Zhuge Liang who accompanied the army, it can be said that the first generation of steamed buns came from the hands of the ancestors of the Luo family.
It's just that later, because of the factional dispute between Bai Luo and Hei Luo, the decline of the family is not visible to the world......
However, this time, Liu Pleiades wanted to use Logan's soul suppression steamed buns, but there was an unavoidable obstacle, that is, "thousand-year-old noodles"!
In Logan's hand, there is an old noodle that has been handed down since the end of the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that in this old noodle, there is even a part of the noodles of the first generation of steamed buns!
Of course, the old noodles do not refer to a piece of noodles cut off from the face of the year, and then they will not be used for thousands of years, so it is estimated that they will not know what substance they have become, but they must be made every once in a short time, and every time they are mixed, a piece of old noodles from the previous time is added, and a piece of noodles is cut off from this time after use......
Liu Yuxing wanted to find more than a thousand years of old noodles, but it was impossible, after all, at that time, the island country did not know whether it had begun to grow wheat.
What Liu Pleiades is looking for now is the old noodles that are as old as possible, otherwise the soul suppression steamed buns will be greatly discolored...... (To be continued.) )
