Chapter 51: A Talent Comparable to the King of Food
It was as if there was a fresh fish in the flames and disappeared in a flash, Zhang Xiaofan thought that he was dazzled, wiped his eyes, and did not see the phantom again before it was really an illusion.
Only a few other regular customers glanced at each other, which was obviously a special vision.
Generally speaking, not only the golden light dishes, but also the taste is very amazing, surpassing the level of Zhao Youqian's ordinary cuisine.
'Did Zhang Xiaofan bring the ingredients? It seems that the ingredients there are not simple...'
The smoked and grilled fish has a color that is clearly different from that of ordinary fish dishes, as if it has been marinated, and the burnt yellow color with a reddish-brown luster is particularly attractive.
If you are a drinker, you are afraid that you can't help it at this time, and you have to have two more glasses of wine to quench your cravings.
And the layer of liquor sprinkled on it at the end quickly emits an attractive aroma after burning.
Most of the pungent alcohol is removed, and what is left is the purest and most intoxicating aroma of food.
"Try it!"
The fish on the plate were served separately, and the four fish were deliberately cut into eight pieces, except for Tanjiro and Youdouko, who were all divided into one piece, and there were just two pieces left, which could be left for the diners who came later.
After all, the longer the smoked fish is left, the more flavorful the unique aroma of sugar and tea becomes.
It's an excellent cold cut.
Zhao Youqian also tried this time to see if the diners would accept this method, and in addition, this kind of fragile fish meat can be cooked in this way after marinating out of the water, which can also maintain more flavor.
By the way, it can also maintain the intact posture of the fish and concentrate the umami of the fish.
This is also the reason why Zhao Youqian's first dish to Professor Zhang Xiaofan is this kind of smoked fish, which can be eaten for a long time after being completed at one time, and it can also allow those guys in Zhang Xiaofan's world to feel more about what it means to be a chef from another world.
"Then you're welcome!"
Wesley, who has never had a sense of existence, will not be polite when he sees a dish coming up, even if he has some doubts about the fish steak in front of him, but at least the fish with large bones can be handled.
At this time, he had to envy the Orientals, for whom it was as if eating fish and spitting out fine thorns was instinct.
You must know that even if Wesley has come to the Heavenly Pavilion several times, his body has been strengthened several times, and the power of the bloodline has been dug deeper and deeper.
However, fish that eat a lot of spines will still get stuck, which is still an inexplicable situation.
You must know that he can completely control the muscles in his throat, and even hide a blade in it, but he will still get stuck when eating fish, which is also incomprehensible.
Having already learned how to use chopsticks, for Wesley, this wonderful cutlery is indeed more civilized than a knife and fork, and it can be a perfect way to taste the chef's dishes.
I saw that as soon as he held up his chopsticks, he had already scraped a piece of fish meat off the main thorn.
The bright fish juice flowed down at once, and it was only then that Wesley realized that under the heavy color of the surface, the meat of the fish inside was still delicate and white.
Such a strong contrast, combined with the fish sauce flowing out, immediately enhanced his favorability of this dish.
"This aroma..."
Shang Xiuxun was completely different from him, she did not destroy the whole of the meat, but looked through Zhao Youqian's incision and noticed the fresh and delicious feeling of the part of the fish that was still retained inside after being smoked and grilled.
But when she smelled it, she felt a stronger flavor.
The faint smell of caramel mixes with the aroma of tea, as well as the deliciousness of grain and fish.
Just tasting the aroma of this dish has already made Shang Xiuxun show an incredible look, and several strong flavors are in it, but they are fully integrated.
Nu Liang also noticed the unusual fragrance in the air, and finally put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks and stretched out the fish pieces in front of him.
"This taste!"
Wesley finally snatched the honor of being the first to taste it, but when the taste of the fish burst out in his mouth, he directly overwhelmed all the flavors of the fish he had eaten before.
"Rich and delicious, how can it be so rich, but... Why is it that the deliciousness of the fish at the very end is enveloped by a cold breath, which makes my brain more calm?! ”
The voice of disbelief sounded, and it also urged the few people who were still awake to quickly chopstick on their share of fish.
Even Tony. Stark also recovered from his fanatical state of studying the blood of your beans, looked at the fish pieces that appeared in front of him, and tasted them directly.
As soon as you enter your mouth, a faint sweetness spreads first, followed by the bitter feeling of the tea, and then it turns into sweetness, and when you move your tongue again, the deliciousness of the fish begins to burst out.
Every trace of fish seems to be mixed with countless soups, and gently chewing makes the fish meat squeeze out more delicious fish juice.
But Zhang Xiaofan, who has tasted the meiyu meat, the more he tastes it, the more incredible it is.
"How is it possible, how can the fish meat have such a taste... Incredible, incredible! ”
While feeling the strange posture of the fish meat in his mouth, Zhang Xiaofan's mind was like a fish that had broken through the oppression in the depths of the pool.
Even if it seems tender, it can burst out with a strong side in the water.
Like a sword!
Originally, the fish meat that would spread out with only a light tongue was salted, smoked, and roasted by Zhao Youqian, and after two means, it actually had a tough taste and chewiness, even if it was still easy to break, but it already had a chewy fleshy feeling, which also made the umami taste more concentrated.
Zhang Xiaofan, who broke free from the delicious meiyu, looked at Zhao Youqian, but when he saw his expectant eyes, he suddenly lowered his head, and tasted the meiyu meat again before raising his head again.
"After marinating, the meat will shrink and the meat will be firmer, but this is not enough, and the meat also contains a rich layer of fat."
"So you use the method of smoking and grilling, high-temperature smoking, and there is no direct contact, so you can keep the integrity of the fish, but it can also further force out the fat and water in the fish, forming a richer flavor and firm meat!"
"What's more! When you do this, the fat is smoked and melted, and it becomes a ubiquitous and seemingly inexhaustible fish soup in the meat! ”
The more Zhao Youqian listened, the more he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, his method is not complicated, and even a casual high-star chef in the food world can see the principle.
But for Zhang Xiaofan, who has not received complete cooking training, it is so easy to understand the reasons for his cooking techniques and find out the reasons for the deliciousness of the food.
This can only be seen with pure talent.
I was not mistaken... If he is in the world of food, he at least has a chance to become a king! ’
