Chapter 433: A little common sense that is the key to the success of a dish
The five gourmets gave Ye Chui five points one after another, and just when Lin Li, Zhang Jiahui and others could not hide the surprise on their faces and thought that they had won back a city, Michelle immediately said: "This is the rating for Mr. Ye, and the following is Mr. Zhang's score - I think Mr. Zhang's dishes are very outstanding, and if I usually eat them, I may give four points, but if I just eat Ye Chui's dishes and then eat Mr. Zhang's dishes, I will feel the gap, so ...... I give three points. ”
"I feel the same way, I feel that Mr. Zhang's dish should have pork in it, cut the pork into granules, however, the meat did not play any role, since the focus of this dish is eggplant, then I think I should taste the aroma of pork when I eat eggplant, but your eggplant does not have this taste, which makes pork a little redundant." Hannah continued.
"I agree with Hannah and Michelle." Chris nodded and said, "So, I can only give two points for this dish." ”
Hannah nodded: "It's still meritorious...... So I give three points. ”
The next person who spoke was Tony: "You guys are right, if I hadn't eaten it with Mr. Ye's dish, I might have given a relatively high score, but I just ate Mr. Ye's dish, and then I tasted this dish, I could immediately feel the strong gap, so ...... I give two points. ”
"One point." Sid went on to say that he didn't have any extra introductions, and the comments of the first four judges already represented a lot.
Chen Tian, Jiang Yuemei, Shen Zhongda and others showed happy expressions, they are Ye Chui's supporters, originally belonged to the seven major hotels in Chinatown, for this cooking competition, they also have some memories of the Chinatown side, but seeing the shameless behavior of Lin Li before, now Ye Chui's salted fish and eggplant pot has won a big victory, and they only feel great happiness.
Mrs. Gao, Huang Yiyuan and others had very bad faces.
Zhang Jiahui stiffened all over. The expression on his face was as if he had completely lost his soul, and he couldn't believe it.
Robert smiled at this time and said, "Then, Ye Chui's dishes got all five full marks, and Mr. Zhang's dishes ...... There is no need to go to the collection, the first dish of this cooking competition, Mr. Ye naturally won. ”
"Wait a minute......" Lin Li shouted unwillingly.
Robert looked at Lin Li with some unhappiness: "Mr. Lin, are you not satisfied with this result?" Do you want to question the impartiality and fairness of these five foodies? ”
"No, no......" Lin Li hurriedly denied, but he immediately said, "I just...... It's just that...... It's just that...... Mr. Yip's dish uses a unique ingredient. This makes his dish popular with gourmets, but when we decided on the rules of the cooking competition, we have made it clear that the ingredients used in this cooking competition are only eggplant and mutton...... He doesn't qualify for this dish! ”
Lin Li stammered at first, but the more he talked about it, the more confident he became, and the highlight of Ye Chui's dish was the salted fish. Just now, the five gourmets also praised the salted fish in this dish, and they competed in eggplant, so Ye Chui was not eligible to compete with this dish.
Hear Lin Li's words. Everyone was a little silent, and Lin Li's words sounded a little strong, but ...... But it also makes a lot of sense, so the others looked at Ye Hang. I want to know what Ye Tuo said.
Ye Chui smiled.
"Salted fish is just an ingredient, only a small amount, and the focus of this dish is the eggplant." Ye Trai smiled calmly and continued. "Didn't Master Zhang's dish also put pork in it?"
Tang Shanshan hurriedly translated Ye Chui's words to the five gourmets.
(ps: There was a mistake in the previous chapter, Han Yuyan was staying in the kitchen, so it should be Tang Shanshan who helped Ye Chui translate English...... I'm sorry. )
"But Miss Hannah has just said that the pork in Master Zhang's dish is superfluous, and the taste is not concretely reflected, so Mr. Zhang's pork should not be counted." Lin Li hurriedly said.
Ye Chui glanced at Lin Li with a competitive face: "If you put it, you put it, can't it count?" You think it's a child's play, and the taste of pork is not reflected...... This can only show that there is a problem with Chef Zhang's cooking skills, or what I said before, your 40-year-old eggplant pot has a problem at all! ”
Zhang Jiahui originally looked lonely, but when he heard Ye Chui accuse him of having a problem with his cooking skills, he was still inevitably angry, he was an eight-star chef, and he was a famous chef all over the world, but now he was accused by Ye Chui so much, and anyone now has reason to feel angry!
He looked at Ye Trai coldly: "Then I'm going to ask Ye Trai, why is there something wrong with my cooking skills!" ”
Ye Chui walked to the table and glanced at Zhang Jiahui's dish, he had never tasted the Lin family's eggplant pot, but through the evaluation of several gourmets just now, as well as the color of this dish, he already understood a lot, so he continued: "There is a problem with your eggplant method, although my salted fish eggplant pot has more salted fish, but salted fish is only used for seasoning, if I also change it to pork, then my eggplant pot will still have a strong pork aroma after it comes out." ”
Tang Shanshan hurriedly translated these words.
Michelle was very interested and asked, "Mr. Ye, may I ask why this is?" Oh, and if this falls into the ranks of classified recipes, you can also refuse to answer. ”
"No, it's just a little common sense about cooking." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, his little common sense made Lin Li, Zhang Jiahui and the others even more ugly...... I only listened to Ye Chui continue, "The texture of the eggplant makes it easy to absorb the taste of other ingredients, Chinese cuisine has discovered this feature since a long, long time ago, and has developed many delicacies, such as the court eggplant in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets is one of them, the Lin family eggplant pot This dish appeared in the era of meat toxicity, at that time there were no meat ingredients for cooking, the characteristic of this dish is the pot, the taste of the condiments is easy to taste in the casserole, but after the ban on meat was lifted, I think Mr. Zhang improved the recipe, Pork was added, but he apparently continued the original eggplant stew, and although the addition of pork improved the taste of the dish, it could not make the flavor of the pork blend into the eggplant, which was a big failure! ”
The problem that Ye Chui said, Zhang Jiahui actually knows, adding pork to the eggplant pot makes the taste of this dish more delicious, but the pork can not be tasted, and his improvement method is to cut the pork into pieces, when the diners pick up the eggplant, the pork grains are stained on the eggplant, which will naturally make the flavor of pork taste at all times, but this ingenious approach obviously cannot impress the five gourmets.
Zhang Jiahui said to Ye Chui with some annoyance: "I have made many attempts, the taste of pork is impossible to integrate into the eggplant, this is probably determined by the characteristics of pork, even if Mr. Ye you come to make this dish, I'm afraid it will be like this." ”
"It's not that difficult to get the pork to taste, it's really just a little common sense." Ye Chui said with a faint smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the most important thing in the Lin family's eggplant pot is that the eggplant is steamed before cooking, so as to make the texture of the eggplant soft, right?" ”
Lin Li and Zhang Jiahui changed color one after another, this is indeed the most important secret recipe for eggplant pot, but I didn't expect Ye Chui to say it directly.
I only heard Ye Chui continue: "This method is originally a big mistake, steaming the eggplant, will let the eggplant absorb water, so that the original artifact of the eggplant spongy texture is destroyed, it will be difficult to absorb other flavors, this is why Master Zhang's eggplant pot added pork, but can not make the pork flavorful, and to solve this problem is actually very simple, the eggplant should not be steamed before cooking, but stir-fried, so that the eggplant can absorb the oil, so that you can absorb the excess flavor." ”
Zhang Jiahui showed a stunned look on his face, as if he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen, it seemed that he was going to experiment.
Lin Li's face was even more difficult to look at, he lost the first game, and he lost so ugly, but a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his heart: it seems that Ye Chui really knows this eggplant pot very well, and the eggplant pot made by him will definitely be very delicious......
Even if he loses today's competition, he Lin Jiaclay got a better eggplant pot recipe, and it is not a big loss.
As a restaurant owner, the interests are great, Chinatown cuisine is independent or something, Lin Li himself doesn't care, he still cares about the interests behind it.
It's just that Lin Li's idea just popped up in his heart, and he didn't have time to be happy, so he just listened to Ye Chui continue: "Boss Lin, although the method of making eggplant pot I talked about, although there are only small changes, you should know how valuable this change is, and the five gourmets are here, so I don't think Boss Lin, you will not rashly steal it, right?" ”
"......" Lin Li's face suddenly became even more difficult to look at.
"Of course." Ye Chui laughed leisurely again, "I don't really value this little common sense, if you are willing to simply admit defeat, it is not impossible to tell you......"
Lin Li's face showed hesitation.
"Lin Li!" Mrs. Gao suddenly shouted with some annoyance.
Lin Li came to his senses and snorted coldly: "Master Ye, this game is only half over, and my Lin family's mutton pot may not lose to you." ”
"Huh."
Ye Chui smiled faintly, but he didn't speak.
A hint of hesitation flashed on Lin Li's face, and he walked back to Mrs. Gao and Huang Yiyuan's side, he was now moved by Ye Chui's little common sense...... Cooking, even a little common sense, can have a huge impact on the taste of a meal.
The value is immeasurable. (To be continued......)
