Chapter 458: An Unexpected Ending
Huang Sifeng's face turned slightly red, and he immediately turned his head and said disdainfully: "Hurry up and cook your food." ”
The coffee syrup is made with 65 grams of sugar and 70 grams of espresso coffee, and 40 grams of Kahlua or other coffee-flavored liqueur. Bring the sugar and water to a boil and stir until saccharified, add the coffee, add the coffee liqueur after 10 minutes, stir well, sift through, and serve.
French Caramel Coffee Cream is the top priority, although Oberla is a bit cumbersome, but it is not easy to make, but the most difficult point is probably this layer of fragrant, mellow French Caramel Coffee Cream. Generally speaking, this layer of cream will be made into French buttercream or frenchbuttercream, such a syrup, boiled to 115C is just right, the taste is mellow and the color is still transparent, but Sikong Yao improved it into caramel cream, so it is boiled to caramel color.
Oberla is a typical European-style cake that is traditionally made with butter, which is also its orthodox flavor. It's full-bodied, but because the combination of coffee, wine, chocolate and cream is just right, the flavor is quite balanced and not greasy. However, high-calorie butter is not acceptable to most people, so replacing it with caramel cream is a good way to get the best of both worlds. After all, the calories of cheesecake are scary enough, and the food should be prepared for the health of diners as much as possible.
Pour the finished caramel cream over the cake slices, top the cheesecake slices with the last layer and spread the remaining half of the French caramel coffee cream. At this point, it is almost finished, and at the end there is a layer of operaglaze, so that the temperature of the glaze does not melt the cream below. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to refrigerate for a while to harden the cream for safety reinforcement.
The ingredients that are poured over the pastry to add shine are called glaze, and they are often garnished with caramel or chocolate to create a smooth and shiny feeling.
The formed Obera cake was divided into eight equal portions by Sikong Yao with two bisector lines, diagonal and horizontal and vertical, and each one happened to have a strawberry on it, which shows that she planned this from the beginning.
In addition to the seven judges, Sikong Yao also prepared one for Lin Pengfei, who gave up the trial.
"Teacher, try it." When Sikong Yao put the last Obera in front of Lin Pengfei, the Sichuan cuisine master immediately showed a friendly smile.
"Haha, my old man hasn't been forgotten." Lin Pengfei smiled and took Sikong Yao's Obera cake and savored it. Presents a six-layered Oberla cake. It is as if the geological plane has been cut cross-sectionally, and it has a mesmerizing harmonious beauty. Coffee syrup, caramel cream, chocolate ganache. Almond coating. The aroma of the liqueur is mouth-watering.
Wen Houyu exclaimed, "Huh? How does this layer of glaze have a special luster. It's not like an ordinary coating. ”
The secret lies in the oil, and the glaze of the Oberla cake is different from ordinary coatings. It has oil in its ingredients.
Sikong Yao explained: "Cook 125 grams of dark chocolate, 50 grams of high-quality dark chocolate, 20 grams of peanut oil, melt the two chocolates separately, mix, add peanut oil, and stir well. Cookingchocolate is a less expensive chocolate, and couverture is a good chocolate. In terms of ingredients, part of the cocoa butter in the former has actually been removed and replaced with other oils. It is easier to use as a pastry, but it is much inferior in flavor than the latter. The reason why couverture is high quality and expensive is that in addition to the purity of the ingredients, it also requires special technical synthesis. These chocolates need to be melted at a specific temperature and then put back to a specific temperature to re-solidify, often for topping. Combining the two creates such a vibrant glaze coating. ”
"I love the flavored liqueur in the coffee layer." Xu Zhidong commented.
The almond chiffon cake layer soaked in coffee wine sugar is soft and moist, the entrance is loose, and the fragrant and mellow French caramel coffee cream is not eaten and smelled first, contained in the mouth, lingering on the tip of the tongue, plus pure chocolate, just like that, almonds, chocolate, coffee, caramel, played the gorgeous music of the opera house cake.
In the mouth, the music full of profound classical flavor plays, Obera instantly seems to have a spark of taste buds, and multiple splendid tastes echo in the mouth and melodious in the heart.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers, like the ghostly sound of the opera, which makes people linger, and the aftertaste is long, and then look at the empty plate in front of you, and can't help but wonder, this is the cake of the opera house - Oberla.
After tasting Sikong Yao's cake, the vice president slowly spoke: "In that case, everyone has a decision, right?" ”
The teachers nodded their heads, indicating that they had made a choice, and chose the more delicious one between Sikong Yao's Oberla and Huang Sifeng's Mont Blanc.
The vice dean nodded, put the two plates, one white and one red, in front of him, and then said: "Then those who support Huang Sifeng put the spoon on the white plate, and those who support Sikong Yao put the spoon on the red plate." ”
After that, the vice president gently put the spoon in his hand on the red plate, and his vote was cast for Sikong Yao.
"Pretty." Sikong Yao sighed in her heart, and she got the advantage in the first vote, telling her how not to get excited. However, the next scene disappointed her.
"Compared with between, the Mont Blanc cake of Huang Sifeng is more exquisite, the beauty of simplicity, the beauty of simplicity, the sense of magnificence, and the supreme act." Wu Liang placed the spoon on the white plate.
One to one.
Xie Jingyun stepped forward slowly and said lightly: "Compared to this Oberla, who has added cheesecake, Huang Sifeng's Mont Blanc cake is more suitable for me in terms of taste." ”
In the white plate, there was another spoon, and the current situation, one to two, Sikong Yao was one step behind, and the balance of victory began to tilt again.
Wen Houyu shook his head helplessly, and said with pity: "In fact, I prefer Sikong Yao's little girl, but in terms of cuisine, it is really more delicious than Huang Sifeng, and I am unwilling." ”
Wen Houyu put the fourth spoon on the white plate in Sikong Yao's disappointed look, one to three, Sikong Yao fell behind by a large margin!
Teacher Zhou Nan, who specializes in Southeast Asian cuisine, stepped forward politely and hesitated between the two plates. For Sikong Yao, his choice would make the choice of the remaining two teachers meaningless. If Zhou Nan gave his spoon to Huang Sifeng, then there would be an irretrievable situation of one to four in the vote.
"Please...... Teacher Zhou ......, "Sikong Yao's heart is beating fast, and Zhou Nan's decision is a key step in winning or losing.
"Sure enough, I still have to vote for this, I can't help it." Zhou Nan shrugged his shoulders, and immediately put the spoon on the white plate as if relieved.
The victory and defeat have been divided, Sikong Yao, defeated.
"How could it be like this...... ended dismally, and Liu Yaqin and Xu Zhidong's decisions could not be exchanged for anything.
Huang Sifeng's face didn't show a look of pride, but said lightly: "The fire hasn't arrived home yet." ”
Although the game was over, Liu Yaqin still put the spoon on the red plate as a sign of consolation.
Xu Zhidong also said lightly: "Obera has liqueur added to it, which is considered to be my appetite, so this ticket will be given to you." ”
There was another spoon on the white plate, although it was three to four, it still didn't mean anything, and Sikong Yao was still the loser.
The vice president sighed regretfully and said, "It's still like this, it's a pity......"
Sikong Yao lowered her head unwillingly, her eyes were a little moist, but the tears did not overflow, she took a deep breath and raised her head, her eyes were closed, and after a while, she slowly spoke: "Thank you for the advice of Senior Sifeng......"
Huang Sifeng looked at Sikong Yao with a complicated expression, and said with a little emotion: "Let's hone more." ”
Although he can't become a student of St. Yi Delu Cuisine Academy, Huang Sifeng also believes that with Sikong Yao's ability, he can shine anywhere, and perhaps this is an opportunity for Sikong Yao to go to a broader stage.
There was a bit of a dim back, which made people feel a little sad, Huang Sifeng didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong, and sighed.
"Wait a minute." Huang Sifeng stopped Sikong Yao, and she slowly turned her head.
"Four Winds Senpai?"
Huang Sifeng glanced at Lin Pengfei and said, "Teacher Lin, what about your decision?" ”
"Me?" Lin Pengfei was stunned and said, "I'm not ......."
Huang Sifeng's eyes froze, and he hurriedly said, "Didn't you eat it, then make your decision." ”
Lin Pengfei understood Huang Sifeng's intentions when he boarded, and smiled innocently: "Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't voted yet, hahaha." ”
The situation changed suddenly, Lin Pengfei stepped forward slowly, and there was another spoon in the white plate, four to four, a draw!
The vice dean muttered: "What about the draw, that is the cooking of two people, on par." ”
The number of judges in the cooking duel must be an odd number, this is an absolute truth, and no one will not know it, but at this moment, all the teachers have chosen to keep their mouths shut.
Huang Sifeng said lightly: "That means that Sikong Yao's cuisine is the same as mine?" ”
The vice dean nodded and said, "If you can tie your cooking with the Four Winds Little Friend, then it can be considered perfect, right?" ”
Huang Sifeng sighed and said a little helplessly: "Then there is no way, I will withdraw the previous evaluation and change Sikong Yao's score to a full score." ”
A warm current surged in Sikong Yao's heart, and he said gratefully: "Four Winds seniors......"
Huang Sifeng interrupted: "Don't say it, I just don't want my food to drop the price, since you can tie with me, then let's give you a full score." (To be continued......)
