Chapter 251: Apple Bisque

The soft touch makes Chen Jinglian very concerned, there is an excellent chef who can cook such a superb and wonderful icing, which makes people feel that this is not the same as the effect of caramel boiling, although such a magical technique is not the first delicacy in the ingredients tasted in his life, but only from its characteristics, it is indeed the first time to see it, I can't help but feel a little surprised, Chen Jinglian muttered in her heart: "Is this the technique of a dessert jeweler?" ”。

Although Bai Xia's sugar yarn is very good, which makes Chen Jinglian's eyes shine, there are still some flaws, and this cannot be seen through Chen Jinglian's eyes, looking at the macarons that have changed a little under the blade, Chen Jinglian feels that this may not be the best feeling.

It is true that the icing made by a real dessert jeweler is completely thin as a cicada's wing, breaking at the touch of a button, and so transparent that it is almost imperceptible. Although Bai Xia's layer of sugar yarn is light enough, it has not yet reached this realm, and the naked eye can still clearly feel the existence of a layer of syrup. ()().,I have to say that Bai Xia's heat is not yet in place,But in terms of what can be achieved at this age,Bai Xia is indeed very good。 However, there is another drawback of this layer of icing, that is, it cannot perfectly maintain the shape of the food.

Although it is the first time to see the technique of a dessert jeweler, Chen Jinglian has also heard that the real sugar yarn, in addition to the characteristics of being as thin as a cicada's wings that can be broken at the touch of a finger, the biggest feature is that he can maintain the shape of the dessert, and the dessert will firmly maintain a shape because of the binding effect of the sugar coating when cutting, and maintain an optimal shape from beginning to end. However, when Chen Jinglian cut through Bai Xia's Eternal Day Yaoguang, it was obvious that he couldn't do it yet. It can be seen that Bai Xia's mastery of dessert jewelry techniques is still in its infancy. But even so. The sugar yarn still made Chen Jinglian very curious.

Break the surface with a point, send the dark energy into the blade, and start with a point on the blade to penetrate the eternal day Yaoguang. After breaking down the elastic barrier, there is a new tactile sensation, crisp and somewhat hard, reminiscent of a soda biscuit. The caramel slowly cracks under the action of the blade. Then it arrives at the shell of the macaron, and then passes through it and falls on the cake base, first crispy, then loud, then soft, the three senses decrease in turn, making people have a feeling of breaking and standing.

Chen Jinglian sighed: "It's really an interesting combination, the biggest disadvantage of Italian macarons is that the meringue will cause delamination due to the difference in quality, which ultimately causes the macarons to be unable to form a thicker shell, so the taste is not full and firm enough." But you cleverly wrap a layer of syrup on the macaron's outer bandage and put another layer of clothing on the macaron's clothes. While strengthening the thickness of the shell, it also enriches the change of taste, and the three sweetness will decrease in turn, once you get used to the sweetness of the caramel, the macaron itself is no longer so sweet, you are different from Wu You, compared with his conservatism in dealing with the sweetness, you are even more bold in showing a temperament that does not match you, such a desperate self-confidence, I have to say that you are very bold. ”

Bai Xia grinned and said, "I believe that the judges can taste the extraordinary features of my macaron, so that's what I did." ”

Chen Jinglian looked at the confident Bai Xia, but said, "Aren't you worried that the judges won't be able to accept such a bold breakthrough?" ”。

Bai Xia shook his head slightly, and said, "If the person who eats it can't feel this change, then it can only be said that the good dessert didn't meet the right person, and I think I'm unlucky if I lose." ”

Chen Jinglian snorted and laughed, and said with emotion: "You really put all your hopes on the judges, aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?" ”…

Bai Xia said: "Don't be afraid, I believe that this Eternal Day Yaoguang will meet the right person, so I did it." ”

Chen Jinglian said: "It's really bold and careful, just like your master." ”

Bai Xia said: "The seniors have won the award. ”

Chen Jinglian used the blade of the knife to split the Yongtian Yaoguang in two, and with a slight force on her fingertips, she slid down with a knife, opening the final battlefield.

In addition to Chen Jinglian's concern for the technique of the dessert jeweler, I am afraid that the inverted apple tart hidden in the macaron sandwich is what Chen Jinglian cares about the most.

Putting aside the two halves of the macaron for the time being, Chen Jinglian said: "Next, let me feel how your so-called inverted apple tart is integrated into the macaron." ”

Bai Xia said with a smile: "I guess I won't disappoint my seniors." ”

A knife fell, and then with a flick of the wrist, the layering structure of the macaron was exposed under the air, and suddenly a warm air flow emerged from the mezzanine of the macaron.

Wu You looked at the scene that was somewhat similar to his own dark night eyes, not only frowned, but also wondered in his heart: "What did this kid do?" How so? ”

It seemed that everything was in Bai Xia's plan, and even the words had already been prepared, and before Chen Jinglian could ask, Bai Xia was the first to speak: "Unlike Bai Xia, who mixes wine chocolate into the macaron cake base, the way I let the macaron retain the temperature is to keep the apple soup at a higher temperature, and the thick liquid can maintain the temperature for a longer time than wine." After the apples are chopped into small cubes, they are made with sugar and sea salt, butter, fresh milk, baking powder, and dried, plus puff pastry, and the diced apples are cooked in the baking method of inverted apple tarts to form a special apple soup, which can retain the temperature for a long time, and use sugar yarn to wrap it up for storage, and when the diner cuts it, the soup flows out of the filling, and the macaron will be reheated to make it warmer. ”

Chen Jinglian used the tip of the knife to pluck the diced apples in the filling, feeling an extraordinary creativity. The diced apples did not become a little hairy due to long-term boiling, but nourished a faint milky flavor under the wrapping of milk, combined with the sweetness of the apples themselves, there is a different style. The soup is mixed with clotted fat, all of which is more like flowing jelly, more condensed than jam, and will not be spilled everywhere, because the aroma of apples is mixed in after dry boiling, so it is not wrong to say that this soup is applesauce. The most important point is sea salt. The saltiness does not spoil the overall taste of the apple soup, but makes the umami of the apple fully adjusted, and the sweetness is enriched by this little bit of saltiness.

"I'm afraid you're the first person to use sea salt for dessert." Chen Jinglian commented on Bai Xia.

Bai Xia nodded modestly, and then said: "This is also a combination that came up by chance in the process of cultivation, the effect is not bad, and it can be used in this competition, it can be regarded as an opportunity." ”

Chen Jinglian shook her head and said: "Not really, this is related to your own dessert literacy and experience accumulation, it is by no means something that can be realized overnight, only full preparation can give birth to miracles." ”

Bai Xia responded: "I have been taught." ”

Chen Jinglian used a knife and fork to pluck the diced apples in the apple soup, the yellow color is eye-catching, and as bright as the sun, giving people a light and lively feeling.

Chen Jinglian said: "I can smell a special sour smell, not only the taste of the apple itself, the intensity is higher, the taste is sharper, but it is not abrupt. It's a bit like a lemon, but it's not, you should have used some special trick to disguise its own taste. ”

Bai Xia was amazed in his heart, he didn't expect that Chen Jinglian hadn't tasted his cuisine yet, and he had seen it so thoroughly, he was worthy of being a master of food, and he was really different from ordinary people. …

But it's not a big secret, so Bai Xia didn't mean to hide it, so Bai Xia confessed: "It's lime juice." ”

Chen Jinglian thought about it carefully, but retorted: "It's not lime, no, it's not just lime." ”

Bai Xia smacked his mouth, sighed in his heart, and whispered: "It's not simple, it seems that there is no need to hide it anymore." ”

Bai Xia said again: "But it's not just lime, I also add a little bit of blood orange to taste." Lime itself has antiseptic and antioxidant effects, which can keep the color of the apple from yellowing for a long time, but the lime itself is too sharp, and it is easy to make mistakes with sweetness, so at this time, you need to add some blood orange with a more bland taste. The taste of blood orange itself can be said to be not very distinctive, but it can be combined with sweetness and sourness very well. That's why a lot of people like to eat blood oranges with citrus, so I thought of adding a little blood orange juice to lime juice to balance the conflict between lime and apple. ”

Chen Jinglian thought about it, but she still couldn't get enough, as if things were far from being so simple, but she couldn't see it for a while, and I was afraid that she would have to wait until she tasted it to know, so she muttered: "Blood orange......

Seeing that Chen Jinglian didn't seem to have given up, Bai Xia finally confessed: "In addition, there is a little bit of honey. ”

At that time, everything will be clear, Chen Jinglian said with a smile: "Replace pure milk with a drink made of honey mixed with water and lime juice, blood orange dew and milk instead of pure milk to make apple soup, right?" Quite a few words"

Bai Xia smiled: "Sure enough, it's a master, this little trick of the junior can't escape your discernment." ”

Chen Jinglian smacked her tongue, and in just one knife, she continued to make Chen Jinglian feel surprises again and again, this young man in white far exceeded her expectations. Although he is that person's apprentice, in addition to the guidance of a famous teacher, the most important thing about this kind of talent is that his own understanding is sufficient, and it is obvious that Bai Xia has a good understanding in dessert ingredients.
