Chapter 101: Cooking Showdown (3)

The audience had been looking forward to what was in Yang Huairen's mysterious little wooden box for a long time, and when they saw him start to open the box and take things out, they all stretched their necks and supported their heads to look at him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What was taken out of the first box was naturally the fish that Yang Huairen had marinated in advance with the koi in the Suiyuan "Wine Pond", and as soon as he took it out, these pickled fish still had the sour taste of fermentation.

What was taken out of the second box was the new rice of the year, which was as white as jade.

The surrounding audience suddenly let out an exclamation, and Yang Huairen and Wei Cai raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at each other, thinking that the other party had taken out some strange ingredients.

When the two saw the same ingredients in front of each other, they both realized that the two of them were going to make the same dish.

The audience was surprised by the coincidence of the two, and sighed in their hearts that today's competition is really getting better and better.

If the two people cook different dishes, then no matter who chooses the winning dish, they can also use the different production techniques of the two dishes, and the different tastes, shapes and smells of the finished products as the standard.

But if two people use the same dish to compete, it will be more direct and simple, the same dish, who makes the better taste, who wins, in modern popular words, is the two of them, or more straightforward, called just positive.

The judges have a good idea in their hearts, and for them, for such a competition, the contestants' understanding of the fish is first on the same starting line.

As the most simple and simple folk food, no matter how gorgeous the knife work or craftsmanship, it cannot change the original taste of the ingredients themselves.

On the contrary, too many cumbersome production techniques will affect the original taste of the ingredients due to the complexity of the production process or the addition of flavors that do not fit the ingredients.

It only needs to be steamed and then put on top of fragrant rice, which is the simplest, purest, and most delicious way to eat.

Wei Cai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he didn't feel a cold war. He felt that he had indeed underestimated Yang Huairen at first.

He originally thought that a chef like Yang Huairen, who became famous at a young age, especially in this kind of big scene, would use his youth and vigor to show his superb cooking skills in order to become famous as soon as possible.

And it is precisely because of too many fancy production techniques that the taste of the ingredient cannot be improved, but because of too much processing, it will affect the special flavor of the simple fresh fish fermentation.

Since Yang Huairen can understand that the simplest production method is the most delicious truth for Yu, it is difficult to distinguish between him and him under the same production method.

However, Wei Lao'er's surprise disappeared in an instant, he subconsciously touched the thing in his chest, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in his heart Fortunately, he still has the secret method passed down by his ancestors, that is, the killer weapon he is ready to take out today to defeat Yang Huairen.

He believes that as soon as this killer feature comes out, as long as it is a pawn, let alone Yang Huairen, a young descendant, even if the two kitchen gods of the north and south appear at the same time, they will not be his opponents.

Yang Huairen was silent here, he had already guessed in his heart that Wei Lao'er would make the same dish for him, his Wei family's reputation for more than 100 years, the most famous is a sting, if you don't even know the best way to eat it, then it is really a ghost.

Although the purpose of the processing is to remove the thorns in the stump so that the taste will not be affected by this, the knives and techniques used by the two people are different.

Wei Lao'er used a traditional slice knife here, but it was one size smaller than the normal slice knife used for cutting vegetables, and it looked like a specially made cutting knife.

And the knife in Yang Huairen's hand is even fresher, and all the audience, including the ten judges on the stage, have never seen it.

The steel knife was more than a foot long, and the blade was eight inches long. The whole blade is thin and slender, like a willow leaf. The most surprising thing is that the entire front edge of this long blade is a bright silver color, reflecting a chilling light under the bright light.

Although the slice knife in Wei Lao'er's hand looks special, it is no different from an ordinary kitchen knife, and it needs to be sawed back and forth to separate the flesh and bone spurs.

The long blade in Yang Huairen's hand cuts from the belly of the knife into the fish, it seems that the blade only needs to be pulled back slightly, and the blade will cut deep into the fish meat, only need to be slightly flipped by the wrist, and the fish and bone spurs will be easily separated by the long blade, which shows that the sharpness of this strange blade is by no means comparable to ordinary kitchen knives.

Wei Lao'er has only dealt with three or four copies, and Yang Huairen's side has already dealt with twelve copies.

Yang Huairen turned on the fire, got up the pot, poured water into the pot, spread a layer of green onions in the cage drawer, put the processed fish on top of the green onions, and then cut some ginger slices and covered the stacked green onions.

Wei Lao'er's approach is the same, the taste of green onion and ginger will not be so strong that it will rob the original umami of the fish, but will neutralize the peculiar smell produced by the fermentation of the pickled fish and remove the fishy smell of the pickled fish.

Seeing this, the judges felt that the two of them had no problem with the handling of the fish bones, except that Yang Huairen used his unique knives and techniques to remove the fish bones and make him one step faster.

When Yang Huairen opened the third and fourth small boxes, there were exclamations from the audience.

Yang Huairen's third box took out a wine jar, but when he opened the jar, the jar was not filled with Suiyuan Spring wine that everyone took for granted, but a jar of transparent water-like soup that exuded a fragrant fragrance.

And what came out of the fourth small box turned out to be fresh lotus leaves.

The folk practice of wrapping rice in lotus leaves and steaming rice has a long history, but there are not many lotus ponds in Tokyo, and the lotus leaves taken out by Yang Huairen are still exuding tender green new leaves, which makes them even more strange.

Yang Huairen first poured the bright chicken soup that had been boiled in advance into another pot, and also turned on the fire on the cage drawer, and when the chicken soup boiled, his lotus leaf rice was also made and put into the cage drawer to steam.

Wei Cai was one step slower than Yang Huairen in everything, which made the old man feel a little restless in his heart. Although he also prepared lotus leaves early as a big bargaining chip to ensure victory.

What he didn't expect was that Yang Huairen had made the same preparations, and his lotus leaves seemed to be fresher, which made Wei Lao'er start to feel nervous, and he touched the thing in his arms again, and beads of sweat dripping down his face.

Wei Caiqiang suppressed the panic in his heart, and also got his lotus leaf rice, compared to Wei Lao'er's uneasiness, Yang Huairen's side was well organized and calm.
