Chapter 92: The Duel Between Umami and Umami (2)
PS: At the beginning of the month, I asked for a subscription, a reward, and a guaranteed monthly pass!!
Miso, a condiment made from fermented soybeans, with the addition of salt and different types of koji to produce a different flavor, is generally very similar to Yaozhou's miso, bean paste, soybean paste, or the tempeh that Cho Youqian used before.
However, miso tends to be more mellow, with a hint of bean sweetness.
There are many types of Higashizakura miso, such as rice miso fermented with rice koji, wheat miso fermented with wheat koji, and bean miso fermented with bean koji.
Generally speaking, it is divided into spicy and sweet flavors, the pungent taste is saltier and the taste is heavier, while the sweet taste is much lighter and sweet.
Shinji Kobayashi's triple fresh crab shell grille this time is that both types of miso are used.
Shinshu miso, which stands for spicy miso, and 'Kyushu miso', which stands for sweet miso, are mixed into crab paste with three types of crab in a ratio of three to one, and then whipped continuously, and with the blessing of Ryuginzo's sake, the crab paste and miso are almost completely fused.
And because of Shinji Kobayashi's stirring, the two are almost indistinguishable from you and me, and the rich seafood flavor and the aroma of miso are mixed, which is the most important thing in carapacey!
The prototype of crab miso...
After all, carapace is just a kind of appetizer, and it will not be complicated to make it with a strong flavor, at least many of the steps of this dish are added by Kobayashi Shinji himself after slowly researching and adding.
For example, crab shell soup, there are certain steps before.
Especially the grilled king crab legs, you must know that the public thinks that the leg meat of the king crab is the essence, and its huge body has almost no meat, which is not as good as the meat that can be dug out of the body of the hairy crab.
But because of this, as long as it is the meat on the body, the flavor will be slightly stronger and sweeter than the meat on the legs.
It is also because of this characteristic that Shinji Kobayashi boldly sealed the meat on his legs directly after passing the test, and did not use it, but dug out the body meat of the king crab, along with the meat of the other two kinds of crabs, after slightly grilling and solidifying, and mixed it, a trace of white crab meat was mixed together, and only the rich umami permeated out.
Even Shinji Kobayashi couldn't help but be moved, and you can know the power of that strong umami mixture.
The rolling crab shell soup has finally reached the point of condensation, and Kobayashi Shinji has stood up and turned off the heat, and has already incorporated the essence of Ryuginzo into the crab soup as a seasoning, and Kobayashi Shinji no longer even needs to add any flavor to it.
The taste of miso and crab soup alone is delicious enough and full of special saltiness!
First, the hot crab soup is poured into an iron bowl mixed with crab paste and miso, and the crab soup is only half of the crab paste miso mixture, so that the sticky and rich crab miso appears slightly watery, and then the crab shells are turned over one by one on the grill.
The flame has gradually weakened, and it is no longer the strong flame that was just ignited when the crab was grilled, and this is the best time to make Koro-yaki.
A lump of crab meat with three types of crab and two tablespoons of crab miso added to the crab broth is just enough to fill the shell of a king crab.
The shells of the three king crabs were neatly laid out on the grill, full of all the ingredients, and at this moment, the onlookers who had been swallowing saliva finally became excited.
"Here we go! Here we go! ”
"The carapace is complete!"
God knows how long they waited, as if the chef's cooking was all air, and in the blink of an eye, they were all left with an insatiable hunger spreading in their hearts.
You must know that the dishes of the special chef almost activate a large amount of energy of the ingredients, so that they can be digested, and you can also know how terrible the allure of two unfinished dishes is.
"Are you going to finish?"
Nagi Senzaemon also showed an eager look, God knows how hungry this food eater is, the previous dishes can only fill his stomach, and he can't even be said to be half full, so that he can't hold the clothes that explode in order to give others face.
Except for swallowing the stuff in one gulp, there was no comment, which made the chefs heartbroken.
It's as if their food is just some kind of substitute.
It's no wonder that some special chefs can't stand this blow and just run away, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
The flames that are not so strong emit heat under the carapace of the crab, and the crab miso inside is constantly agitated, slowly releasing various flavors.
If the fire is too large, the part of the crab roe inside will be too hard and will not blend with the rest of the crab paste and the texture of the crab meat, but if the fire is too small, the flavor of the miso will not be released.
Therefore, Shinji Kobayashi seems to be waiting for the crab shell soup to be boiled, but in fact, he is also waiting for the temperature of the bamboo charcoal under the barbecue grill to reach the most suitable level.
At this time, the heat is just enough to heat the ingredients in the crab shell, and the ingredients inside will be constantly agitated, but not too high, so that the crab roe solidifies, but shrinks and grills in a slightly rolling state.
The bizarre taste of crab miso, mixed with an even stronger sea crab flavor, made everyone present unable to control the saliva in their mouths.
What's more important is that behind that smell, there is an extremely light but lingering elegant smell of the dragon's yin, which is a dream fantasy that people in the wine country can linger after trying it once.
And Erina Nagikiri is even more unbearable, it seems that after the duel with Ryo Hayama, her 'Tongue of God' has been stimulated to evolve again, and she can even begin to taste the taste scattered in the air.
The aroma of the dragon's chant made her feel as if she was drunk, and her whole person was dizzy, the flush on her face couldn't go away, and her body hung on Alice's back.
A pair of huge pressures were pressed on Alice's back, as if they were about to squeeze out of the clothes, and it also made Alice's back feel hot and uncomfortable, although it felt good...
"Well... It's delicious, it's delicious! ”
Of course, not only the smell of wine, but also the smell of crab, Erina Nagikiri also felt it when she stuck out her tongue to taste the smell of the air, even if she leaned on her own sister.
Fortunately, she can control this ability a little, otherwise her tongue sticks out and tastes all kinds of tastes, which is too miserable.
After all, the air is not only filled with the smell of food, but also from the land, leaves, and people's sweat... Wait, wait, wait, that's when Erina Nagikiri understands why her mother, whose 'God's Tongue' is almost fully developed, is reluctant to come back from the unknown region.
Compared to the untouched environment, where there is almost no pollution and there are unknown areas full of ingredients, there are too many strange flavors in the known world now...
