Chapter 303: Fire Bull Burst and Ninefold Roast

"What is Ah Xing going to do? Even if he doesn't burn, but ...... You don't need to use such a hot pot, do you? ”

"Indeed, what is that going to do? It's much more than the temperature of the oil when stir-frying, right? ”

"Although Chinese cuisine takes the mastery of 'fire' as one of the cores, it ...... The hotter the better! ”

Alice and others couldn't help but sweat for Liu Yuexing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Erina, the fourth of the four women, was the calmest at this time, and explained: "Usually the iron pot will appear dark red at about 600 degrees, orange-red at about 800, and orange-yellow or even bright yellow when it is above 900...... Look at the color, this iron pot should be at 8 or 900 degrees now. ”

"That's right, in a semi-confined space, charcoal can burn to 1,000 degrees, and it's not surprising that this iron pot has been smothering in the hearth all the time, reaching 800 degrees! However, when the technique of 'stir-frying' is usually used, even if it is the so-called 'stir-frying', the temperature required will not exceed 250 degrees, and the boiling point of most edible oils is only more than 200 degrees...... "Liu Yuyuan, who is also familiar with "stir-frying", said.

Alice frowned even more and said: "It's not a matter of boiling point anymore, now that any kind of cooking oil is added to this pot, it will definitely reach the ignition point in an instant!" ”

It is true that if the oil is boiled in the pan, it will have the effect of suppressing the temperature of the pot beyond its boiling point, but now the empty pot has been burned to 8 or 900 degrees, and then the oil is ignited the moment the two come into contact.

Of course, it also means that if the ingredients come into contact, they will be directly carbonized......

"Erina-san, do you see something?" Scarlet Sand asked suspiciously.

She noticed that Erina seemed to be in no hurry at all from the beginning......

"I can't think of what he's going to do, but he's in control of the heat...... No, isn't it always surprising in any cooking skill? I think he must have had his own plans! Moreover, even if the temperature of the pot reaches 8 or 900 degrees, it does not mean that the ingredients will also reach 8 or 900 degrees. "Erina seems to have pure confidence in Liu Pleiades.

Erina's "confident" tone made Liu Yuyuan couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

And at this moment, Liu Pleiades had already made a move, and he really held the red iron pot in one hand, and while holding the fried shovel in the other hand, he poured a big bowl of oil juice with chili peppers and other spices into the pot!

In the iron pot that burned red instantly, it seemed to be filled with a flame, and the fire was particularly eye-catching...... I don't know, I thought Liu Pleiades had a big fireball technique!

Deji also looked at it suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what Liu Pleiades was doing.

I saw Liu Pleiades use a stir-fry shovel, and after quickly stirring in the flames a few times, he immediately waved the stir-fry shovel again, and "rolled" the cooked and sliced yak meat prepared in advance into the pot......

After that, Liu Pleiades moved faster, and the frying shovel kept stirring in the pot, but because of the flames, others couldn't see anything famous.

I saw that less than a minute later, Liu Pleiades scooped up the cut bracken and added it to the pot, and then vigorously lifted the pot......

The fire, which was originally slightly smaller, suddenly rose again, and the ingredients in the pot were also thrown up.

However, Liu Pleiades was not in a hurry, first put down the iron pot that had basically faded red, and then took out the plate from the side, just catching the "bracken fried back to the pot yak meat" that had been thrown into a ball!

At this time, the sound of "it's time for the showdown" also sounded from the judges' seats......

Yes, fried dishes are naturally delicious when they are eaten hot.

At the same time, Liu Pleiades is also confident that this dish of "fried yak meat with bracken and back to the pot" will definitely attract the attention of the judges for the first time!

Although Deji has also grilled the whole beef properly, with a variety of sauces and dry ingredients, the judges have already chosen to come to Liu Pleiasion's side first...... Most of it is thanks to the last eye-catching performance of "Fried Yak Meat with Bracken"!

This dish that will be "explosive" and master the most incisive cuisine can also find a prototype in the era of "Chinese Yiban", but it is not the work of the "Explosive Chef" sub-magazine.

It is the "big explosion back to the pot meat" made by "Liu Pleiades" more than 100 years ago when he competed with Yakan for the first time with "Flame Roast Suckling Pig"!

"Big fried pork" and "roasted suckling pig in flames" are both extremely hot dishes, but the symbolism is diametrically opposed.

"Flame roast suckling pig" is to stuff the whole suckling pig into the whole cow, and then put the whole cow in the "sea of fire" in the boat to roast, the cow is burnt, and the suckling pig is not only just the right heat, but also inherits the flavor of the beef, symbolizing how to use the fire, to achieve the effect of "simmering".

The "Big Bang Back to the Pot" is to slowly heat a large iron pot over low heat until it turns red in a semi-closed condition, and then "stir-fry" it in one go! It belongs to the accumulation and outbreak of small fires to create the effect of "martial fire......

At the same time, the "flame roast suckling pig" is more inclined to "open and close" in terms of skills, because of its own high fault tolerance, after being thrown into the fire, "Liu Pleiades" did not pay attention to it.

For example, in the autumn selection competition, the meticulous "flame roast suckling pig" carried out by Liu Pleiades now belongs to "excellence".

The "big explosion back to the pot meat" is just the opposite, the "fault tolerance rate" is extremely low, and the slightest accident will become "back to the pot carbon"!

It is necessary to use a spatula at all times to control the ingredients in the pot, and in the oil layer below the surface of the oil ignited by the pot, you must not touch the bottom of the pot, and you must not be negligent in the control of the oil, the fire, the ingredients, and even the pot......

"This yak meat, which has been boiled and fried first, has a feeling of air-dried meat in color, showing a bright red color......

"That's right, the dragon dish is still green? It came out of such a big fire. ”

"Anyway, let's try it first!"

……

After entering the fried yak meat, several elders were stunned for a moment, only to feel a unique "cow flavor" of yak, mixed with spicy taste, instantly filling their mouths and noses!

In a trance, I even saw a sturdy yak...... Wrong! It's a herd of sturdy yaks, with flames burning on their bodies, and they want to run on their own!

Not only the flames, but each yak is even tied with swords, guns, swords, and halberds......

Wrong! It's not a weapon, but gastrodia, star anise, green onions, ginger, and sea pepper tied like weapons......

Groups of yaks, forming a fire bull array, filled the mouths of several elders!

Instantly, I felt like my tongue, mouth, and throat were being baptized by fire and spices!

But at the same time, what I feel is not devastating, but a hearty enjoyment!

The whole person seems to have been sublimated in the "Fire Bull Array......

"Hmm...... Thisβ€”this is ......"

"It looks dry, but the fragrant gravy is actually perfectly locked inside!"

"And this dragon dish, it doesn't look like it came out of the fire at all, and the taste is still as if it has only been blanched, but it has a hot and spicy temperature, and the taste is ...... after oil."

"That's right! When you bite into it while it's hot, the meat slices are crispy on the outside, but still tender and juicy on the inside......"

"And although it seems to have added a lot of oil before, there is no greasy feeling at all, which makes the taste of dragon head vegetables and yak meat reach the peak!"

"Indeed...... Obviously yak meat is not suitable for stir-frying......"

"And is this really 'frying'? Although there is no 'stir-fried' in Tibetan cuisine, we are not unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine...... But this kind of control of the heat is indeed the first time I have seen it! ”

"Wait, is this really heat control?"

And Liu Pleiades also said at this time: "Of course, it's 'fire', and the 'fire' of Chinese cuisine represents not only 'fire'...... In terms of high temperatures, steam, air, hot water, hot oil, ...... It's all part of the 'heat'! And among these 'non-fire fires', the 'pot' is the most direct embodiment of flames!

A true master of fire will definitely be able to master this 'flame' in the shape of a 'pot'! For chefs, there is nothing to worry about whether the 'flame' is urgent or slow, and the 'flame' is also the meaning of this 'fire bull burst'! ”

That's right, the reason why the yak meat of the "Fire Bull Burst" has the dual attributes of crispiness and juicy is precisely because of the meticulous mastery of the "rapid fire", and the yak meat slices are not directly in contact with the hot pot bottom, or directly heated by the flame in the pot for a long time, but fried in oil, plus cooked in advance, the meat juice has been locked inside, so there is no jerky feeling of rapid frying......

Of course, in order to make the oil have the depth of temperature, so the amount is very large, when in the pan, except for the surface layer of direct contact with the air, the lower part will not burn, and the final throw, not all for the visual effect, but to make the oil disperse, so that all of it can come into contact with the air.

Under Liu Pleiaus's control, the oil was thrown away to the point where it could burn out instantly, and in the last less than a second, all the oil burned out!

In this way, there is not much oil in the "Fire Bull Burst", which does not destroy the characteristics of low fat and low fat of yak meat......

The onlookers looked at the four elders who served as judges in a daze, and after tasting the first bite, they began to frantically sweep a plate of fried back to the pot......

After a while, the yak meat and dragon head vegetables have bottomed out!

After all, because of the cooking method, Liu Pleiades's "Fire Bull Burst" can't cook too much at a time, but it is only fried in a small portion, and there are only about 20 slices of meat in total.

"Ahem, let's try a few other dishes later......" After seeing that the plate was bottoming out, an elderly man coughed to hide his embarrassment.

Liu Pleiades's all-cattle banquet is naturally not only this "fire bull burst", but this one is indeed the most brilliant, and it is also used to attract the attention of the judges!

In terms of the level of cuisine, although it does not use the "Mirror Kitchen Heart", it is already firmly at the tiger level, and it is enough to exist as a signature dish in a two-star restaurant.

However, as a signature dish of a three-star restaurant, it is inevitably a little inferior......

After all, this "Fire Bull Burst", in terms of "spices" and "heat", is far more important than sword skills, if Liu Pleiades now masters the "spice essence" or "sword skill essence", it is very likely to reach three stars.

And if the three basic "divine essences" are all mastered, and the spices and equipment here are complete, if Liu Pleiades is given some opportunities to try, the Lin level is not unattainable!

Even though it is far from reaching its peak now, this "fire bull burst" is enough to shock the judges.

And compared with Deji's "roasted whole beef", Liu Pleiades's dishes are indeed more diverse!

In addition to the precedent "Fire Bull Burst", there is also the "Casserole Sweet and Sour Red Cow Soup" made with flower tendon meat, that is, foreleg meat, simmered with tomatoes and onions; "Rock-roasted brisket" made from hand-picked and rinsed rocks; a raw-grilled "black pepper yak steak" made from eye meat; A variety of spices, high-grade barley wine, and even a few pieces of "Daodang" taken out by Liu Pleiades himself, imitating the recipe of "simmering deer tendon in a casserole" and improving the "wine simmering oxtail......

In terms of cold food, the money tendon meat, that is, the hind leg meat, is simmered with the sauce prepared with Liu Pleiades with the existing spices, and then sliced and served with the sauce as a cold cut.

In addition, there is the "yak salad" as a finish!

Since the "Fire Bull Burst" has been used to make the opening cannon loud, the dishes that are naturally used for the end must also be eye-catching, so as not to have the feeling of "anticlimactic......

So for the penultimate dish, Liu Pleiades hinted that after the judges tasted the "simmered oxtail in wine", the last "yak salad" was put out while the judges were still immersed in the softness and tenderness of the simmered oxtail!

"It's ...... Cooked hind leg meat, with dragon cabbage, cherries, apples and ...... Persimmons, tossed with 'salad'? "Although the elders in the village are not Maqin, they also have a wealth of experience in tasting, so it is naturally impossible not to name the salad.

The altitude of Jiuzhaigou is generally about 4000 meters, and it is difficult for ordinary vegetables to survive here, but it also has its own special fruits and vegetables!

For example, the sweet cherries cultivated in Jiuzhaigou, or the branch of the big cherry, "Jiuzhaigou sweet cherry", as well as the shading apples suitable for high-altitude planting, also known as "alpine apples", and the special "Jiuzhaigou persimmon", are all used by Liu Pleiades as an ingredient for the last salad along with bracken.

As the main ingredient of salad dressing, Liu Pleiades also took the local materials and chose the "ghee" made from yak milk!

The salad composed of boiled beef, vegetables and fruits has a bit of an American salad style, but in terms of sauce, Liu Pleiades chose ghee as the core and umami flavor-based composition, rather than adding excess sugar products.

The difference is that although Liu Pleiades's "yak salad" is finally put together, it is actually mixed with butter sauce and then covered with yak meat......

When tasting, yak meat has a completely different flavor from other fruits and vegetables, but even if you eat it together, because the taste of yak milk ghee in the vegetables and fruits is used as a bridge, there will be no sense of incongruity!

Erina even saw that Liu Pleiades's salad also used some special techniques to form a temperature difference and create a different taste after cooking separately, which can be regarded as "learning and selling"!

In addition, the main ingredients of the salad, yak meat and bracken, are also taken from the same origin as the "Fire Bull Rush" at the beginning, so it is not only abrupt but refreshing and delicious as the finish, which further enhances the aftertaste of the whole beef banquet of the whole table, including the previous "Fire Bull Rush......

"When I finally finished tasting it, I really wanted to eat it...... Ahem! I mean, finally started tasting Deji Machin's roasted whole beef! ”

"How do I feel...... Several elders don't seem to pay as much attention to Deji Maqin as they did to this little ghost before......"

"Don't talk nonsense! Although Deji Maqin's 'Sevenfold Roasted Yak' has not been publicly displayed, it is a skill that even several other Maqin people are full of! ”

"That's right, the serious Deji Machin won't lose! Uncle Deji is not just a Maqin ...... in our Shuzheng Village."

Some onlookers in the audience seemed to be worried about Deji Maqin, but Deji himself didn't seem to care, and when the four elders of the village who were the judges came over, they took out the sharp knives and cut out all the nine pieces of barbecue that had been "dug out" separately and "buried" back......

Some are sliced, some are diced, and some are divided into quarters and drizzled with sauce......

It seems that in the Tibetan "cooking duel", this simple barbecue cutting is not counted in the cooking time, and at the same time, the barbecue can continue to be roasted on the fire after the time is up.

Liu Yuexing naturally has no opinion on this.

Seeing this, some Ma Qin, who had seen this barbecue, couldn't help but say, "Huh? Nine pieces of barbecue? More than the previous sevenfold, more than two? ”

"That's right, when I just laid carbon, I found that the amount and location of carbon are also different from before!"

"Sure enough, Deji isn't standing still......"

Deji's Sevenfold ...... No, it is a nine-fold barbecue, which is divided into two parts: fine grilling and coarse grilling, and there is not only one kind of fine grilling, or "seven-fold" or "nine-fold" in different positions, different techniques, and different temperatures!

In Tibetan culture, Wang Dan and avoid double are also reflected in the food culture, which is just the opposite of the Han people's preference for making banquets into even number dishes, and seven and nine are singular.

At this time, Liu Pleiades also took advantage of the fact that several elders tasted the barbecue, and after Uncle Deji agreed, he cut the remaining whole cow......

Sure enough, except for the nine specially processed roasted meats, the rest of the whole cow was not wasted at all, and every part of the meat was completely cooked!

Usually roast whole cow or roast whole sheep, such a large livestock, it is impossible to roast the whole animal, but it only takes more than three hours, and the mystery of "nine-fold roasted yak" is naturally in these "built-in carbon fire" inside.

Although the carbon in several layers of iron mesh has not been extinguished, Liu Pleiades picked it up without any scruples and was amazed...... Of course, for the sake of everyone's three views, Liu Pleiades perfunctorily put a layer of towel, which is still the one just now!

"I see, in several layers of fine-pored iron mesh, put ignited charcoal, and then the ventilation plug on top will bring in air, and at the same time, it also plays a role in 'blowing' the burned soot out as much as possible! In this way, it is equivalent to having seven internal heat sources in addition to the outer bonfire!

It is equivalent to roasting inside and outside at the same time, and the natural time is greatly shortened...... At the same time, it is also equivalent to grilling several other pieces of finely grilled meat in the case of yak meat, which is similar to the 'flame roast suckling pig'! In addition to yak as an ingredient, it is also used as a kitchenware! Liu saw the mystery.

If it weren't for the scruples of "challenging Ma Qin", Liu Pleiades would have gone over to the four judges to grab meat......

But the appetite and appetite of the four judges really scared Liu Yuexing, obviously they all look not young, but they have a bit of "Lian Po Old" momentum.

Well, the allusion of "Lian Po is old", Liu Pleiades has also heard people talk about it, probably before King Zhao wanted to reuse Lian Po, Lian Po's political enemies made him the arbiter of Zhao Wei's "cooking duel" in order to embarrass him, and Lian Po, who was old at the time, ate more than young people in order to be loyal to the sacred mission of "arbiter of cooking duel", and fought several times to solve it halfway, and also completed all the tastings...... Later, I used this as a metaphor for the judges who are loyal to their duties!

Although the amount of food on both sides is very sufficient, there will be a bonfire party later, and the whole village will participate, and there will be no waste.

But Liu Pleiades looked at the posture of several elders, and it was not his turn to taste the nine-fold barbecue, but at this moment, Liu Pleiades suddenly heard something, and cut off some of the inner wall barbecue that was implanted in the position and attached to the nine pieces of barbecue, and took advantage of the attention of the elders on the nine-fold barbecue, Liu Pleiades quickly "stole" some sauce on the side and tasted it first......

Although the taste of these adjacent inner walls is only close, it should be different from the real "nine-fold barbecue", but with Liu Pleias's "super taste", it is enough to "tongue supplement" (probably similar to the meaning of "brain supplement") to produce the full version of the taste!

In this way, although I haven't tasted the "genuine", my heart is still itchy, but I have already estimated the level of "Nine Barbecues......

Deji is worthy of returning from ten years of travel around the world, a chef who has studied French and Thai cuisine, and almost every one of the nine pieces of barbecue meat symbolizes the flavor of different regions, and it is not just a simple imitation, but has been informed!

In terms of the level of cuisine, I am afraid that each one taken out separately has the level of the signature dishes of the two-star restaurant, but it is slightly inferior to Liu Pleiades's "Fire Bull Burst" and "Yak Salad", which are hot and cold, but they are comparable to several other dishes in Liu Pleiades's all-beef banquet, and even a few are still victorious......

After all, when Deji was at the beginning, he was actually "modest", how could he be Ma Qin of Shuzheng Village? He also serves as the honorary Maqin of another Bazhai, and when he travels around the world, although he is far less than Joichiro, he is also a well-known wandering chef...... (To be continued.) )
