Chapter 257: The Cooking Begins
"Sure enough, the fishy smell became more obvious after cutting it......"
"That's right, and when Liu Pleiades was under the knife just now, he couldn't see anything because it was too fast, but when the people of the 'Central Food Agency' dismembered the eel meat, it was obvious that the meat of the giant eel was also a little ...... Deal with the difficulty! ”
To say that it is "to deal with it" is actually to mean that it is too old! Just now, the students of the central food agency almost used a saw......
"Is it really possible to make delicious dishes? Although I heard that the nutritional value of this thing is almost twice that of normal eels, if you ......"
"That's it! It's not that I haven't participated in similar banquets, and most of the ingredients of this 'hunting' are just a curiosity? How delicious could you still be? ”
Some whispering voices have been heard in the banquet room, although among them, there may not be many pure cooks, but as a glutton, they have a lot of experience, and they can see that this giant eel is not suitable for ingredients...... At least in the case of only one "head", it is not suitable for making ingredients!
There is only one "head", which means that there is no opportunity for the chef to practice, and he can only apply the recipe of similar ingredients to the meat by observing the properties of the meat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
That is, it tests the observation ability and knowledge of the cook, and at the same time tests the innovation ability!
At the same time, it is clear that the nature of giant eel meat is very different from that of ordinary eel meat, which also increases the difficulty of cooking......
The meat of the giant eel meat is somewhat like a whale steak, and whether it is fried or boiled, it looks like it is old and boiled!
Of course, the muscles on the bear's paws are definitely more challenging than giant eels and whale steaks, but because in the past, there were enough samples for cooks to study, so there would naturally be special cooking methods, but there was no way to find a mutant variety like giant eel.
As one of them put it, this kind of "banquet with rare ingredients as the protagonist", that is, eating a "hunting curiosity", may not taste as delicious as the delicacies they usually taste, but it is not bad to let them taste new flavors......
The small discussion in the banquet room obviously did not affect the two parties who were cooking.
After cutting the required eel meat, both sides chose to temporarily refrigerate it, and then began to carry out other preparation processes, and the auxiliary materials they used were also the focus of everyone's attention.
"Huh? The people of the central gastronomic agency are dealing with ...... Avocado? ”
"That's right, there are burdock and yams...... Is this going to be an 'avocado eel roll'? ”
"But you don't need pinto beans, green peppers and onions for the 'avocado eel roll'...... And those colorful leafy vegetables, are they kale? ”
"In general, it is an auxiliary material based on vegetables and edible plant roots and fruits, and it is to hedge against the fishy smell in the meat of giant eels, right?"
Everyone talked about the ingredients prepared by Renkusataro and others.
At the same time, compared with Liu Pleiades and the central food agency, the atmosphere of the two sides is not on the same channel at all......
On the side of the central food agency, more than a dozen people are busy, each carrying out their own processes, like a high-speed assembly line.
On Liu Pleiaus's side, there is only one person, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at this time, giving people a feeling of "being comfortable", but if you compare carefully, you will find that Liu Pleiaus's subordinates are actually not slow at all, but their movements are more fluid, and they don't do anything superfluous, so they seem to be at ease......
"Both sides seem to be skilled?"
"Well, it's the first time they've faced this ingredient, but they should be able to apply their own recipes and improve them......"
"But both sides have equipment that uses the new cuisine, but I don't know what it's for."
At this time, some people naturally discovered that whether it was the people of the central food agency or Liu Pleiasia, there were large-scale equipment in the cooking table area!
"I'll see, I studied these things some time ago...... Well, it seems that the central food organ is the 'molecular mousse foaming machine', and Liu Pleiasion's side is the 'colloidal ingredient separation and condensation machine'. ”
"Colloidal ingredients? Something similar to collagen? ”
"In other words, what Liu Pleiades uses is really a soup stock...... And you have prepared eight kinds of dashi? ”
"'Sure enough'? Is he good at dashi cooking? ”
"That's right, at the Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Contest, his seafood manju was filled with dried goods and broth from seafood stock...... If I'm not mistaken, there are eight types! ”
"Do you want to make steamed buns from the meat of the 'giant eel'?"
"Probably not, he didn't see flour in his auxiliary materials......"
Just when everyone was making speculations, the two sides finally took out the eel, among which the "central food organ" was mostly chunky eel meat, and Liu Pleiades was divided into long strips.
On the side of the central food agency, all the eels were placed in front of Kumai Shimichi first......
Well, at this time, the focus of everyone's discussion is, is this really a student? Could it be that the "central gastronomy institution" is actually an education for adults and 0 people?
Hiroi really wanted to come up with their identification to prove that although Kumai Shimichi looked anxious, he was really only 17 years old!
It looks like Kumai Fandao, whose facial features are ferocious, but his knife skills are not wide open and close, but they are not as delicate and delicate as the contrast and cuteness of Misaku......
If I had to say anything, it would be...... Standard!
As if in a textbook, the chefs of the "Central Gastronomy Agency" have obviously worked the basic skills they need, especially these young students.
Liu Pleiades estimates that the main reason is that these young students are all cultivated by Nagi Cutting Thistle, and among the other adult cooks, they should all take refuge with art......
I saw pieces of eel meat, which soon turned into pieces of eel fillets with moderate thickness and moderate thickness, and on the other side, Lian Nantaro was already heating up a simulated rock platform with a heating plate, and there was a temperature measuring instrument next to it.
"Huh? Is this to be made into a similar kabayaki eel? ”
"But the kabayaki sauce that the female student is serving over there is a little bit of concern......
"Anyway, who is that girl laughing at? Why do you keep laughing? ”
"No, as far as I can see, it's just that her eyes are awkward......"
That's right, it's the sauce that Liang Jing Mei loves to use in charge of Kabayaki.
Kabayaki is a technique used in island countries in which fish is broken from behind, deboned, and grilled in a sauce.
The "grilling" can be either charcoal grilled or teppanyaki grilled, and it can also be fried at home...... Naturally, you can use rock grilling like this, too.
Kabayaki is actually very common when cooking eels, but the "giant eel" is obviously not suitable for ordinary kabayaki techniques, if it is just a broken back and the flesh is unfolded...... The fish is divided into two halves and cannot be cooked no matter how you look at it!
So Kumai Shimichi first slice these eel pieces.
Liu Pleiades, on the other hand, first peeled the meat of the eels, which were arm long, and then cut a two-third-third deep cut on the side of the peeled eel meat at intervals about two finger widths, so that the eel meat was still continuous and segmented.
At this time, the colloidal separation and coagulation device was also used, and I saw pieces of pale yellow edible colloids, which were taken out by Liu Yuexing......
"Huh? What is this? Artificial ingredients? Someone wondered.
And Horikoshi, who had been watching around Liu Pleiades, replied at this time: "It should be a condensation of collagen and some plant fibers, which is made of boneless pig's trotters and some vanilla crushes......"
"But it should still be the people of the central food agency, and they have more advantages...... Not only are there a lot of people, but there are also people standing behind them, but that naginata thistle! Although ten years have passed, it is still impossible to forget this name, if he hadn't fallen out with the Food Demon King at the beginning, I'm afraid Yuanyue will be stronger now, right? ”
"Impossible, their philosophies are completely different, how can they cooperate? If he is still far away in the past ten years, it will only make the internal friction worse! ”
"Indeed, as soon as Nagina Thistle came back this time, he was attacked by the 'Food Demon King'......"
"In my opinion, Senzaemon himself is not confident that he can compare with Nagi thistle, otherwise why did he get rid of him with a weak heart? Isn't it because the directors are worried that they will be attracted to the thistle and threaten him? Otherwise, even if there is a conflict of ideas, wouldn't it be good to compete? Naginagi thistle is already surnamed 'Nagi Cut'! Besides, it's still Eri......"
"Ahem, okay Murazawa, we don't know about that incident ten years ago...... Mr. Horikoshi, you seem to be very optimistic about Liu Pleiades, and you have been paying attention to him? ”
Someone diverted the topic, apparently realizing that Erina was in the banquet hall, and it was rumored that she was at odds with her father!
"That's right, a great young man to look forward to...... As far as this dish is concerned, you're probably more optimistic about the central gastronomy agency, right? However, I think that there are some things in cooking that cannot be explained by theory or experience, and there is no substitute for something more important with the guidance of someone! Horikoshi said.
Obviously, many people think that Horikoshi's statement is too idealistic, after all, this kind of cuisine with unfamiliar ingredients is obviously more beneficial to the central gastronomic organization, because everyone knows who is standing behind them......
Liu Pleiades was not affected by the outside world at this time, and was quickly cutting the colloid into slices, and put a slice in each slice of the strip-shaped eel meat.
After that, a white mud-like substance was taken out of the device and brushed in an iron pot with a rounded bottom.
Horikoshi went on to explain, "It's the colloidal body of the fat layer isolated from the body of an ordinary eel......"
After that, Liu Pleiades did not mean to heat the iron pot directly, but spread the eel meat on one side with collagen tablets on the top side in the iron pot, and then put the whole iron pot in the steamer...... (To be continued.) )
