Chapter 91: The Duel Between Umami and Umami (1)

PS: At the beginning of the month, I asked for a subscription, a reward, and a guaranteed monthly pass!!

Dongpo meat is a very old dish, at least thousands of years ago.

Thanks to the practice of Su Dongpo, a famous writer in Yaozhou, it has been continuously improved and spread, and it has become an unbroken dish like magic mapo tofu.

As long as you follow the recipe strictly, there will be almost no flaws in this dish.

In terms of recipes, there is nothing that can be improved on a dish.

Originally, this kind of cuisine, which had no room for improvement, was indeed not a dish that Zhao Youqian would like to try, unless he used the concept of this dish to cook dream ingredients, or other kinds of ingredients.

However, this time it was different, Zhao Youqian extended from the inspiration of using wine to attract wine at that time, to make snacks, and finally returned to the fact that it was better to let the taste of wine play to the extreme, and use wine to further enhance the taste of immortal tea.

That's why today's Dongpo meat appeared!

While the mellow rice wine replaces the general stewed meat in clear water, as the stewed alcohol continues to evaporate, it is also loosening the meat of the pork, and the mellow taste makes people seem to be drunk just by smelling this smell.

Stewing for three hours, naturally it is not that he does nothing, almost every half hour, Zhao Youqian has to turn over the meat in the casserole, so that the fat skin and lean meat can be soaked in the soup of Huadiao wine, and enjoy the soothing of wine and sauce.

In the last hour, this kind of turning is even more frequent, and it has to be done every fifteen minutes, especially after the stewing time becomes longer, the pork belly meat is already very soft and rotten, in order to ensure that it will not be broken directly when turning over, Zhao Youqian's hands are also extremely careful.

So much so that it is not like turning the meat, but caressing a piece of gentle tulle.

It is precisely because of this practice that the aroma of Dongpo meat is almost unique in the scene, constantly opening the lid and turning over, which also makes the rich Huadiao rice wine and sauce and the taste of the soup stewed with pork belly continue to spread.

Gradually, a delicious whirlwind formed, seemingly repelling the smell of everything else around it.

"This vision!"

"The power of aroma!"

Erina Nagi only saw Ye Shan Liang rely on spices to make a similar scene when he was dueling with Ye Shan Liang, but he didn't expect Zhao Youqian to create such a scene with Huadiao wine and pork and some inconspicuous common sauces!

In other words, in the realm of using aroma, Zhao Youqian does not have a 'Nose of God', but he is already at the level of Ye Shanliang's talent.

You must know that Ye Shan Liang relies on the 'Nose of God' in the use of aromas, and some special grades can't be compared!

"This is also the reason why the so-called 'Five Senses of God' is later on, the lower the bonus to the chef..."

"Of course, if you go the other way, it's hard to say."

The Demon Eater, whose face was still calm, pointed to his granddaughter, in fact, this other path was also the path taken by Erina's mysterious mother, his daughter.

But now Erina's mother is still in the unknown area, and she is also the back hand of the far moon in the unknown area, so naturally she will not be born casually.

Because once Erina's mother appears, it means that Enzuki has reached a real crisis of survival, and even these backgrounds have to be taken out.

...

Zhao Youqian's Dongpo meat showed a unique vision, and even those special chefs who also prepared dishes had to admit the fact that they were suppressed by a minor child.

Only the owner of the late-night cafeteria, Shinji Kobayashi's movements did not stagnate at all, and he was still unhurried.

Dongpo meat takes three hours to boil, and his cooking is not far behind.

In particular, for the crab broth, the crab miso must be boiled for a long time with the shells of the three types of crabs that have been grilled and served with sake from Ryuginzo to bring out the best crab umami.

To do this, it will definitely not be able to be completed in a short period of time, so Kobayashi Shinji will not spend much time.

Fortunately, there is no time limit for the cooking ceremony of the Asama Shrine New Year's Festival, and even the longer the better, so the big guy can only watch the two chefs who are not to be outdone and start cooking all night.

From time to time, representatives of chefs from other forces finished their dishes, and after offering a portion to the altar, most of the people present and the aliens also got a share.

However, the dishes that used to be praised have become a foil for others.

Can you imagine a bunch of aliens eating your food with their eyes on the two figures who are finishing the meal?

This kind of cooking is treated as a supporting role, and the operation of using someone else's unfinished cooking to serve the meal is really a blow to a chef's self-confidence.

So much so that after finishing the cooking, many super-level chefs didn't even want to stay and continue watching, so they fled in disgrace.

There are only a few who are not too old to remain, and for them face is not so important, it is a rare opportunity to see two chefs with strong cooking skills show off their skills.

Especially one who restored the divine wine 'Xian Ming' at a young age, he already had the level of passing the special assessment when he was a minor, and the other was incognito, once revealed to be a Lin-level chef, and he was a Lin chef with the strength of the chef's heart.

Such a duel between the two, even if it is not a halberd, is enough for the special chefs to stay and watch.

As for those who leave for the sake of saving face, it is inevitable that their achievements in the art of cooking will stop there.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhao Youqian's side had already turned off the fire, and did not start steaming directly, but removed the boiled soup from the heat, removed the ingredients such as green onion and ginger, and soaked the meat in the sauce for a while, so that the meat slowly and naturally cooled to absorb more flavor, and then went to steam through the water to remove the last bit of fat in the pork.

Let Dongpo meat achieve the effect of real fat but not greasy, this step is also a step that many people ignore, so that sometimes they feel that the lean meat of Dongpo meat is too chai and there is no gravy, in fact, it is to ignore the step of waiting for it to cool down slowly, absorb the juice and become soft again.

It's also a way to make the time it takes to make Dongpo meat longer again, and many shops that claim to make authentic Dongpo meat don't do it anymore, because it reduces the number of finished products per day.

However, since Zhao Youqian did it, he naturally had to be careful step by step, so that these leaders of these extraordinary forces and countless aliens who were watching could only watch this person who suddenly sat down, just stared at the casserole, and did nothing, letting them smell the tempting aroma and only jump to their feet in a hurry.

On the other hand, Kobayashi Shinji has begun to wrap up at this time, and a smell of miso, a condiment unique to the East Sakura, is beginning to spread!
