Chapter 986: The Great Clash of Eastern and Western Cuisines (Part II)
When he came to the kitchen, Di Ming looked at the familiar stove and the unfamiliar environment, and faintly remembered a figure in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis figure accompanied him to win the championship of the King Chef Competition.
"How could you suddenly think of her? I don't know if she's doing well now, I haven't seen her in a while! Di Ming was slightly distracted, his eyes staring into the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The rules of the competition are divided into a starter, a main course and a dessert. After tasting the dishes, each judge on the scene will give a score of 10 out of 10. All the scores are counted together at the end.
The back kitchen of the gourmet hall is very large, and it was originally divided into two kitchens, the left and right.
Hestia, who is now standing in the kitchen on the left, has full confidence in this game. In order to take care of Di Ming's emotions, she did not rush to do it, but slowly packed up the ingredients she was going to cook.
Her first course is naturally the signature salad, the main dish is Sanctuary steak, and the dessert is whatever you like! After all, the East does not attach as much importance to desserts as the West, and they value staple foods.
In the kitchen on the right, Di Ming walked to the selection room, looking at the dazzling array of ingredients, he was also a little embarrassed for a while.
The ingredients prepared here are not only local specialties, but also those unique to the East.
"Vegetarian first and then meat, as for dessert, there are some oriental specialties, there is no need for cream, chocolate and the like." Di Ming rolled up his sleeves, and in his mind he had detailed steps for each dish he was going to make.
"Huh? There's ready-made chicken soup, so I'll try it. ”
He scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"The umami is there, but it's oily. The oil is too heavy to overshadow the umami and make people feel a little greasy when drinking. ”
Diming put down the spoon, picked up a basket, and walked to the ingredients section. He closed his eyes, remembered the number of people in the main hall, and then opened his eyes and picked up ten fresh bamboo shoots, and grabbed six handfuls of shepherd's cabbage.
When he came to the stove, Di Ming began to concentrate on getting busy, maybe even he didn't know that his current appearance was really charming and charming.
Peel the bamboo shoots, wash them, select the first third, cut them into shreds, and blanch them in hot water to remove the faint astringency inside.
Wash the shepherd's cabbage and cut it neatly, without breaking it too much, otherwise it will affect the taste.
Pick up a small bowl, come to the chicken broth, skim off the grease layer by layer, and put it into a small bowl.
Take a small, clean porcelain pot and fill it with the chicken broth skimmed off. Before, the remaining two-thirds of the bamboo shoots, after blanching once, were all put into a small porcelain pot.
Start the heat and start simmering the chicken broth over a warm heat. On the other side, pour a small portion of the chicken fat into the iron pot and start heating it over high heat.
"Boom!" Pour the shredded bamboo shoots and shepherd's cabbage into the pot together, stir-fry quickly, and then change the heat to low.
Pick up the small porcelain pot and pour the chicken broth into the pot, the ratio of soup to vegetables is three to one.
As the soup entered, Di Ming began to calculate the time accurately, and after three minutes, he quickly turned off the flames and divided the dishes into twenty delicate silver bowls.
"This dish is called Golden Rooster Herald Spring!"
According to the previous agreement, after waiting for two minutes, both sides delivered their first dishes to the judges.
The judges did not taste the Hestian salad first, but chose the first course made by Diming very tacitly.
In the small silver bowl, the emerald green color is really cute, and the fragrance of bamboo shoots matches the mellow aroma of chicken soup, which makes people's taste buds can't help but have an urge to taste it in a hurry.
Seeing the looks on the faces of the judges, Di Ming knew that the dishes he made should be successful. In order to highlight the deliciousness of this dish, I did not add any ingredients, and there was only a little saltiness in it, which was also present in the chicken soup.
Hestia wanted to taste it too, but Dimin shrugged innocently at her and spread his hands. This made Hestia angry and funny.
At the entrance of the soup spoon, a breath from the spring mountains and wilderness instantly permeated the tip of the tongue. Under the stimulation of the taste buds, the teeth are also chewed, and the crisp and smooth feeling is accompanied by chewing, which makes people feel a great enjoyment.
The next process does not need to be narrated, and after a while, the small silver bowl will be at the bottom.
"Anything else?" Apollo didn't see it, and asked Di Ming directly.
"I'm sorry, uncle. Limited supply, no more. ”
Athena laughed, Apollo was notoriously picky eater. Being able to make him want to eat another portion is enough to show that the dish made by Di Ming is a success.
After eating the dishes made by Diming, and then eating the Hestian salad, it was obviously a bit tasteless. The umami residue in your mouth overshadows the taste of the salad, and the more you eat it, the more it seems to evoke fond memories of the previous dish.
Emperor knew he had succeeded, but he also noticed Hestia's face. No matter how she says that she is also her own elder, she doesn't have to fight over the main course, just a tie.
If Hestia knew what Di Ming was thinking at this time, I am afraid that this game would not have to go on anymore, and Di Ming would inevitably have to receive a profound ideological education.
When Diming and Hestia turned back into the kitchen, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
"Oriental cuisine really lives up to its reputation, but simple ingredients can make it so delicious, I really want to go to the mysterious East!"
"The salad tastes good, but who makes this oriental dish fresh! If you're used to eating this oriental dish, maybe I'll still think the salad is good! ”
"I'm really looking forward to the staple food of the next show! I don't know what kind of taste enjoyment Oriental chefs will bring us. ”
Listening to their discussions, Apollo said to Athena: "O old girl! I think even if Di Ming doesn't defeat Ares, his cooking is really amazing!
Caught the stomachs of our people, are you afraid that anyone will dare to embarrass him? It's a daily necessity, not to mention that it's so delicious. ”
"I don't want my son to be your cook, even my aunt doesn't always cook. Today is considered their luck, and the next time they want to eat, they may not be able to eat it! ”
Athena's words made Apollo happy, and it was something to be proud of. In the future, in the Holy Land, if anyone can eat the dishes made by Di Ming, it will undoubtedly be a symbol of status and glory.
Hestia, who walked into the kitchen on the left, no longer looked down on Dimin as before, but began to take it seriously. Originally, she wanted to make her signature steak, but now she's changed her mind and wants to make a new dish that she has only recently come up with.
As for Di Ming, he felt very relaxed in this game, it was a little difficult to win, and it was not a very simple thing to want to draw? Choose your way to your nearest location! Didn't they just make steak for Hades? Take it!
Both chefs changed their original plans. Interestingly, their plans seem to be swapped, but I wonder if the flavors of this dish will also be swapped?
