Chapter 193: Eight Immortals Roasted Wheat
The two of them went one after the other, and each entered the state. In the selection of ingredients, they are much the same, basically only choose those fresh ingredients, dry goods are directly excluded, because for siu mai, dry goods are not the best choice.
What Master Xie chose, Zhao Yao didn't know, but he himself stopped in front of a bunch of fresh ingredients, and in the end he also chose eight of them: white radish, cabbage, leek flowers, crucian carp, crab meat, kelp, meat pigeon, quail eggs.
At this moment, the dish that came to his mind was called Eight Immortals Roasted Wheat. Of course, this is not the eight immortals in myths and legends, but the homonym, the "freshness" of the eight fresh ingredients.
Fresh daikon radish, cabbage, leek blossoms and kelp represent vegetarian dishes, while fresh crucian carp, crab meat, pigeon meat and quail eggs represent meat. The combination of eight fresh meat and vegetarian dishes creates a naturally excellent taste.
And these eight ingredients do not only represent meat and vegetables, among which white radish, cabbage and leek flowers represent the food on the ground; crucian carp, crab meat and kelp represent the food of the river and the sea; The meat pigeon and quail eggs represent the food of the heavens.
As the so-called Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers, these eight ingredients are very good to take out the same alone, and they can each form a very delicious dish, and when they are all gathered together, this Eight Immortals Roasted Wheat is formed.
Whether it is planted in the ground, swam in the sea, grown, or fly in the sky, there are all here.
The ingredient is just the filling of the Eight Immortals Roasted Wheat, and the crust is of course flour, after all, it is a pastry. How to roll the dough with elasticity, toughness and tension is something that any pastry chef must master.
By the time the first task is completed, the experience card [Liu Pleiades] has been upgraded from one star to two stars, in addition to the improvement of basic attributes, there is also the attribute of level 5 of cooking techniques. At this moment, this attribute helped Zhao Yao a lot.
Mixing and rolling noodles is a basic skill for a pastry chef, and when Chef Xie was rolling noodles, he finally took out the steel rod that he had been carrying behind his back. I felt a strong wind coming, and the flour that had been waiting quietly on the table turned into a white powder, as if I was in a fog with extremely low visibility.
At this time, Master Xie suddenly splashed a basin of water, and a large amount of clear water was also carried into the air by the strong wind constantly stirred by his steel rod, fused with those white "smokes", and then, a huge dough was slowly formed.
With such a domineering form of the club, even if Zhao Yao saw it at the moment, he couldn't help but be stunned in his eyes. Of course, rolling noodles well is not the basis for Master Xie to become famous, his cooking skills are the real core.
Just when everyone was still a little stunned, his face was already finished. Immediately afterwards, a large fan of beef was thrown into the sky by him, and the steel rod directly rotated from the original plate to a continuous small-scale agitation.
By the time everything had calmed down, the original big fan of beef had turned into little meatballs. No one knows exactly how he did it, but just looking at it, you can already understand that his power is very well mastered.
"Boy, I advise you not to be in a daze now, otherwise time will run out." While preparing the filling, Master Xie didn't forget to remind Zhao Yao, but there was a playful smile on his lips.
The corners of Zhao Yao's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to talk to him more, he had that steel stick, but he had level 5 cooking skills. So who will win and who will lose in the end is not known at the moment. No longer stunned, Zhao Yao hurriedly began to deal with his face.
Although the scene did not look as domineering as Master Xie, his technique was also quite skillful, and after about five minutes, a huge dough had formed in the sky.
Immediately after, the level 5 sword skill showed his power, a touch of cold light appeared in the air, and when all this stopped, the kitchen counter in front of Zhao Yao was already full of stacks of square dough.
After the dough is processed, the next step is, of course, the filling. Under his delicate knife skills, the white radishes turned into small particles, which were finally flattened, and the whole white radish seemed to be crushed in the end.
The cabbage is processed in a similar way, but instead of crushing, it is simply shredded. The treatment of leek flowers is exactly the same as that of white radish, and when the knife stops, the leek flowers directly turn into leek flower puree.
In order to preserve the freshness of seafood such as crucian carp and crab meat, of course, they cannot be crushed directly, but diced one by one. In the case of kelp, he cut it into strands like hair.
The meat pigeon is processed in the same way as crucian carp and crab meat, and the quail eggs are broken and mixed with these ingredients.
After the processing, it is a large fire and a simmer that keeps changing, until the ingredients each exude a strong aroma, and the aroma slowly combines together, and the filling is ready. The final step is to wrap the filling in the dough and steam it.
It was at this moment that the steps of the two on both sides actually coincided completely. Although a lot of time was delayed because of the domineering way of watching Master Xie make dough, Zhao Yao's mastery of the fifth-level cooking techniques and fifth-level knife skills made up for this gap very well. Let the two return to the same running line.
It is also very important to wrap the dough with the filling to form siu mai. If you don't do it properly, it will cause the filling to over-expand and spoil the dough during steaming, resulting in an unsightly appearance of the siu mai, and all of it will be steamed, who will buy your account?
So sometimes the food is good-looking, delicious and smells good to sell for a good price.
For a master pastry chef and a person with level 5 cooking skills, this step is of course very simple. It's just that it's not easy to be simple, and if you're not careful, there will still be mistakes. Therefore, at this moment, both of them did not dare to be distracted at all.
The onlookers also began to snort slowly, they were all waiting for the end of the competition between the two chefs, and when a wisp of aroma slowly wafted out of the steamer, all the tension finally came to an end.
"Hehe, I make the golden ratio of siu mai, which uses seven fresh ingredients and makes it in a way that looks symmetrical from every direction. Little master, what do you do? ”
When he finished introducing the siu mai he had made, Master Xie obviously had a faint look of pride on his face.
"What I did was, Eight Immortals Roasted Wheat. It is three fresh on the ground, three fresh in the sea, double fresh in the sky, eight fresh together, eight immortals roasted wheat! ”
