Chapter 509: Nine-Story Chicken Tower vs Spicy Chicken
Handa Sen is a Japanese girl who looks like she has a bit of a fairy spirit, and she has a temperament that does not eat the fireworks of the world, and she wears a Japanese kimono, but there is no sense of inappropriateness.
After losing the game, she was slightly stunned, then walked up to Han Yuyan with a smile and said in fluent English: "Chef Han, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good, I am willing to bow down, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I must go to Huaxia to visit you in person." β
"Huh? Well, I'll visit you when I have the chance. "Sister Han's head is still dizzy now, Dong Qian lost the first game yesterday, so she didn't think that she could pass the test today, the gap between herself and Dong Qian is very clear in her heart, she can win this game, that's really hell......
Ye Chui and his group who were watching from the audience were also stunned, and Dong Youyou shouted in surprise: "What's the situation, my sister lost the first game, but Sister Yuyan won the first game smoothly?" This...... How did it happen? β
The expressions on the faces of the others were also very exciting.
"That Handa Immortal is a half-hanger, right?" At this time, Tang Shanshan opened her mouth and said, "Look at the age of that Handa Immortal, he is not a few years older than us." β
"Handa Immortal's level is not low, it's just ......" Ye Trai said with a wry smile, "The level of heavy rain to make egg dishes is too high." β
"Second Senior Sister's level of making eggs is too high...... An Xiaoxiao sighed leisurely on the side, "This is simply breaking through the sky." β
Returning to the hotel from the examination room, Han Yuyan didn't seem to have come back to his senses all the way, his face showed a silly expression for a while, and then he showed a puzzled expression for a while, walking was as staggering as if he was drunk, which made everyone else on the same road feel a little embarrassed, this sister won't faint directly happily, right?
In the course of this day, Han Yuyan seemed to have been unable to extricate himself from this feeling of bitterness.
At more than nine o'clock in the evening, Han Lao, who had been busy as a judge for the past two days and had not had time to meet, came to the hotel where they were staying. Obviously, Mr. Han also heard that his granddaughter had inexplicably won the first game of the semi-finals, and he came to congratulate him.
"Hehe, I think Yuyan is just lucky, I happened to meet the other party did not play well, that Handa Xian I saw it very early, she inherited the half-day cuisine when she was sixteen years old, at that time I was invited to attend her inauguration, when she made a steamed radish, the taste is very delicious, now more than ten years have passed. Her current cooking skills may have already reached the peak, and Yuyan has only been learning cooking for a year, so she can't be her opponent. β
Han Lao said that he said so, but in fact, his face was full of pride and pride, his granddaughter actually defeated the girl genius of Handa Xian, no matter what the situation was, this made him feel very relieved.
Ye Trai said with a smile: "Da Yu's performance is very good, and I am now looking forward to how far she can go in the competition." β
"Maybe Sister Yuyan will qualify directly for the finals." Lin Wei interjected at this time.
The people sitting at the table couldn't help but laugh when they heard thisβit was a joke.
Of course, later they recalled Lin Wei's unintentional words. I can't laugh anymore......
"Han Lao, you haven't eaten yet, you wait, the hotel's kitchen can be used at will. I'm going to make some food. Ye Trai stood up with a smile and said.
"I still have my stomach." Han Lao said with a smile, "Boy, go and fry a few dishes to relieve my hunger, Yuyan, don't be idle." Go ahead and make me another piece of the court custard you made today so I can try it. β
"Oh, okay." Han Yuyan hurriedly stood up.
Seeing that Ye Chui and Han Yuyan were going to the kitchen to cook, An Xiaoxiao didn't know what to think. also followed: "I'll go and help the master and the second senior sister." β
After more than half an hour, An Xiaoxiao first walked out with a plate of red and green dishes, put the dish in front of Han Lao, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Han, you try this dish." β
"Spicy chicken?" Seeing this dish, Han Lao's eyes lit up, "Yes, this dish is one of my favorite dishes." β
Saying that, Han Lao couldn't wait to put the muscles of a chopstick in his mouth with chopsticks, chewed carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's this taste, delicious, spicy and tender, I have been busy with the Super Chef Competition for a long time, and I haven't eaten such authentic dishes for a long time." β
Seeing that Han Lao ate so fragrantly, the other people at the table also had an appetite, and they picked up chopsticks and tasted a bite of this dish, spicy chicken can be said to be the first dish that Ye Chui handed over to Tian Xiaodu, when Ye Chui spent more than 100,000 yuan to sell this dish to Wan Laifu, Tian Xiaodu made this dish when entertaining Han Lao, and it was praised by Han Lao, of course, it was not as delicious as Ye Chui.
At this moment, Tian Xiaodu took a bite of spicy chicken, with a look of enjoyment on his face, he suddenly saw An Xiaoxiao standing next to Han Lao snickering all over his face, thinking of something, he immediately understood, and said, "Xiaoxiao, this spicy chicken...... You did it, right? β
This sentence suddenly made all eyes involuntarily shift to An Xiaoxiao's body.
An Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and nodded with a smile: "That's right." β
At this moment, everyone couldn't help their shock, Han Lao turned his head to look at this girl who was only sixteen years old, and was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "This spicy chicken...... Did you do it? β
An Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded: "I'm going to compete tomorrow morning, I'm going to discuss with my opponent to make a chicken dish, my opponent is going to make a dish called a nine-story chicken tower, and the dish I'm going to make is this spicy chicken." β
Han Lao's eyes were still a little surprised and looked at An Xiaoxiao, An Xiaoxiao couldn't help blushing, and the others were also a little surprised, Han Lao didn't even taste that this dish was made by An Xiaoxiao instead of Ye Chui, doesn't this mean that An Xiaoxiao's cooking skills have reached the level of Ye Chui?
It's an incredible thing to think about.
Ye Chui often said that Ann's little potential was the greatest among the people he had ever seen, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"Master accidentally picked up An Xiaoxiao, it seems that it is really the luckiest thing in the world." Tian Xiaodu couldn't help but joke with a smile.
Han Lao couldn't help but nod and said, "Sure enough, I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow's competition now." β
After a while, Ye Chui made a few dishes that Han Lao liked most on weekdays, which made Han Lao very happy, and Sister Han's palace egg custard was greatly praised by Han Lao, and his granddaughter's dish was obviously very popular with the old man.
Waiting for the next morning, Ye Chui and the others came to the No. 9 arena early.
Both Ann and Jim are going to play today, but fortunately, the two have staggered matches, one at 8 o'clock in the morning and the other at 10 o'clock in the morning.
When Ye Chui and his party came to the arena, An's little opponent, the Thai Nava, had already arrived here early.
"Master, what kind of nine-story chicken tower do you say the Thai people are going to make? It sounds like a mystery. Tian Xiaodu asked Ye Chui a little strangely.
In fact, everyone else has also developed a strong interest in this dish, the nine-story chicken tower, the name is really interesting.
Ye Chui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How do I know this, it seems to be his own original dish, let's wait and see." β
In Thai cuisine, there is a 10-minute nine-story stir-fried chicken, which is not actually a literal nine-story tower, but refers to a spice called the nine-story tower, which is an annual herb of the Lamiaceae family (Ocimum-basilicum-L), the flowers of this plant are multi-layered towers, so it is called "Nine-story Tower", this plant comes from the huge basil plant family, because its leaves, stems and flowers have a strong star anise aroma, it also has another name in Asia, extremely fragrant basil, orchid basil.
The nine-story stir-fried chicken that Ye Chui knows is actually a chicken dish cooked with this spice.
However, it is clear that the nine-story chicken tower made by Nava has another mystery.
The composition of his dish is actually very simple, tear the chicken thighs into long strips, then mix coconut milk, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce and red pepper slices to an even level, use high heat oil in a frying pan or wok, add sliced onions, ginger and churned garlic and fry until browned, add chicken and fry for three minutes, then add the seasoned juice, reduce the juice on high heat, and then put in the nine-layer tower seasoning, the basic steps of this dish have been completed.
This is also the method of stir-fried chicken in the nine-story tower as understood by Ye Chui.
But Nava's next work was an eye-opener for Ye: he carefully placed the chicken piece by piece on the plate with chopsticks, and made a tower out of the chicken.
Seeing the chicken tower on the plate at the end, Ye Chui smiled dumbly: "It turned out to be such a nine-story chicken tower." β
The chicken fried in the nine-story tower is actually not bad, and it is also a delicacy, and finally the chicken is ingeniously plated to make the appearance of the nine-story tower, but it is also meaningful, but it is ...... Ye Chui looked at the three gourmets who were judges, all three of them were Americans, and it was really unknown whether they could experience this kind of artistic conception.
On the other hand, An Xiaoxiao's side, she is making spicy chicken in a decent manner, the red chili pepper and the fragrance of the muscles are brewed into a pot of spicy food in the wok, and the smell of that fragrance makes people have a kind of salivating impulse.
When he saw the two of them bringing their respective dishes to the judges' bench, Ye Chui had already laughed softly: "Don't look at it, this competition will definitely be a small win." (To be continued......)
