Chapter 538: Jade Jade Rabbit VS Jasper Cabbage Roll
As usual, Lord Jiang presided over it, and compared to the exhibition match that was difficult to figure out in the dark, this time Lord Jiang's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he made a large part of his signature opening remarks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info yawned a lot off the stage, on the stage, Su Miao was playing with his hands, Xia Jinxuan was wiping the knife, no one listened to him, but Lord Jiang became more and more excited, until he finally finished speaking, satisfied, comfortable, and then shouted, let the guy put down the theme of the game.
The big red cover fell, the sleepy Su Miao and the calm Xia Jinxuan looked at the same time, and after the red cover fell, the ink characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the theme board were revealed, and it was actually a compiled-down "beauty" word!
Su Miaomo rubbed his chin, recognized it for a long time before he recognized the word "beauty", flattened his lips, and looked dazed.
"Beauty" can be associated with many words, beautiful, delicious, beautiful, these three words no matter where they are used, the meaning is completely different.
The word "beauty" itself is a vague concept, what is beauty, how is it beautiful, not to mention used in dishes, it is full of controversy when used on people, whether the connotation can affect people's experience of "beauty" more, or the appearance is more likely to affect people's experience of "beauty"? What exactly is "beauty", a topic that does not even have an accurate answer to people, when it is used in dishes, a word with a wide range and general meaning, so that Su Miao doesn't know which part to start thinking about.
Xia Jinxuan was also stunned, compared with the theme of the previous competition, "soft, soft, dream, memory" and the like, the word "beauty" as a theme completely abandoned the implicit expression, which was simply too direct. But the more direct it is, the more difficult it is to express it. There are a lot of ideas, but I can't grasp the ones that can be used, and there are so many things that flash through my head that in the end it is a blank.
Ask the two girls to cook their most satisfying dishes with the theme of "beauty". "Lord Jiang didn't even explain the theme this time, he directly gave the opening order, and then picked up the golden mallet and struck it on the golden gong, and the timer began!
Su Miao and Xia Jinxuan didn't move, they all leaned on the cooking table and were stunned.
"These topics of Liang Dusai are enough for the restaurant to brainstorm!" Under the stage, Ruan Shuang pursed his lips and said.
"'Beauty', what kind of food is 'beautiful'?" happily touched the inch hair on his head and muttered.
"Beautiful appearance of the dish, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, red plum beads and the like, I hate the plating the most, I can't make beautiful dishes!" Ruan Shuang pursed his lips and said.
"Miss Su seems to be very good at plating, I heard that Su Miao's knife skills are very powerful, and she can directly enter the palace to make the imperial chef and take charge of the state banquet." Said happily.
"What's the use of plating? What's the use of looking good? The most important thing to eat is that it tastes good rather than looking good. Ruan Shuang belongs to the "taste school", and she has her own obsession in this regard, and what she is most unaccustomed to is the atmosphere in the restaurant industry that now pays more and more attention to appearance and ignores taste.
"Of course, it's important to be delicious, but even if it's beautiful and delicious, you can see the skill of the cook."
"It is impossible for the eyes and the tongue to produce exactly the same sensations at the same time, either it looks better or it tastes better, or the eyes are amazed, or the tongue is amazed, and the eyes and tongue are amazed at the same time, and people can't do it." Ruan Shuang said seriously.
“…… Shuang'er, are you too stubborn in this regard? Sweat began to ooze from his happy skull, and he asked with a wry smile.
"What does it mean to be stubborn? I'm serious! Ruan Shuang frowned, a little annoyed.
"You just have to do what you think, you just have to be yourself, just look at the rest, and if you care too much, it will become a burden." Happy to say to her.
Ruan Shuang looked at him for a while, although she was a little unconvinced, but she no longer tried to persuade the other party to accept her idea, she pursed her lips and did not speak again.
On the stage, Su Miao and Xia Jinxuan, who had been stunned, finally moved.
Xia Jinxuan instructed her assistant to start rummaging through the boxes she brought, while Su Miao walked straight to the ingredient table and picked them up on the spot. After a while, Xia Jinxuan stepped forward and stood beside her, without saying a word, just picked out rabbit legs, spinach and some spices and went back, it seemed that she had already decided.
Su Miao tilted her head and thought for a while, slowly took the fresh cabbage and pork, turned around, and returned to her cooking table.
Xia Jinxuan's side of the process is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The rabbit legs were soaked in water and cooked, cooked with ginger, chives, peppercorns, and soju, Xia Jinxuan took out a jar of transparent gelatinous material from the box she brought and put it in a clean pot, added a jar of brown powder, poured water, and boiled those things in the pot.
"What's that?" Feng Erniu had never seen that color of powder, it was still such a big can, she was surprised and curious, and asked with a grunt.
Su Miao also noticed Xia Jinxuan's own accessories, and when a large amount of brown powder was poured into the pot, a fishy smell wafted out with those powders.
"It's seaweed powder." She said.
"Seaweed?" Feng Erniu didn't know what seaweed was, and became more and more confused.
"I don't know what it is."
"It is a vegetable jelly made of sea vegetables in the sea, Funing is near the sea, and rich in sea vegetables, the local people have a special dish is to boil the sea vegetables and make them into jelly, just like the skin jelly, after the vegetable jelly is made, it is eaten with sauce, it is very delicious." Cheng Tie explained.
Su Miao was surprised, she probably understood that the sea vegetables that Cheng Tie was talking about were vegetables in the sea, that is, seaweed and the like. She had also heard of boiling seaweed into jelly as a dish before, Xia Jinxuan used seaweed jelly and a large amount of seaweed powder to re-boil, the secondary processing should not be useless, but to make the jelly gum more soft and elastic, Su Miao remembered a substance called "agar", although the process of agar is more complicated, but seaweed can indeed boil out gelatinous matter, Xia Jinxuan She actually knows how to use agar, Su Miao's vision was shocked again, her knowledge is really too little!
Xia Jinxuan carried out many processes, and finally boiled out a translucent liquid gelatinous substance with seaweed, the assistant has pounded the spinach she selected into juice and filtered it, Xia Jinxuan mixed the spinach juice into the seaweed water and mixed it thoroughly, took a square mold, poured the filtered spinach seaweed juice into a quarter, and after solidifying, put the rabbit meat torn into pieces by bone, and then poured all the remaining spinach seaweed juice into it and put it into an ice box to solidify at low temperature.
The finished product is very beautiful, with a "beauty" word to describe absolutely not exaggerated, boxy rabbit meat, two mahjong card size, up and down jadeite color, the rabbit meat in the middle is snow-white, bright jadeite color and pure snow-white form a sharp contrast, rows of neatly placed in the white porcelain plate, accompanied by the sauce made of chili flakes, minced garlic, fresh soy sauce, sesame oil, sour fruit juice, green onions, red, green, white bright colors have a fierce impact on the vision, from the moment the eyes fall on the porcelain plate, has been completely captured, not to mention the taste, just looking at it feels gorgeous and elegant, as if wearing a brocade skirt gentle and moving lady, ink fragrance and extravagance coexist, left behind and independent, fairy and jade, alluring the country and the city.
Even the name Jade Jade Rabbit, Su Miao's first feeling after hearing it was high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade.
So she wittily changed her "steamed cabbage rolls" to "jasper cabbage rolls". (To be continued.) )
