Facing Dong Xiaowan's urging, Ivan was still in a daze.

He was thinking, since the source of learning to fill soup dumplings was Dong Xiaowan, how could he learn it?

You must win her favor first!

After thinking about it, he spoke: "Don't worry, a real delicacy pays attention to color, fragrance, taste, shape, meaning, and nourishment, and a qualified diner faces a real delicacy, of course, he can't chew peonies, otherwise it will be abrupt to the delicious." ”

As a chef, Ivan has studied food culture a little, and now he can barely make a point even without the help of the system.

These words immediately caused Dong Xiaowan's surprise again.

She had long felt that Ivan was less of a crude chef and more of a reader, and now his words seemed to confirm it.

Color, fragrance, taste, shape, meaning, nourishment!

These words are not just for the average reader!

She began to savor the taste of these words seriously.

Because she has not been in contact with cooking for too long, and in this era, the channels for absorbing food culture are limited, Dong Xiaowan is still relatively lacking in the theoretical knowledge of food culture, and the words mentioned by Ivan make her feel very fresh.

This also made her more curious about Ivan, and she began to really look forward to Ivan's comments.

"Judging from the shape, Miss Dong's soup dumplings have been made to the extreme, and I believe that no matter how skillful a chef is, he can only do this. ”

Ivan didn't rush to taste it, but commented first.

Color, fragrance, shape and meaning, this is the usual way to taste food.

In ancient times, food paid attention to the color, flavor and taste, and in later generations, with the development of the catering industry, it slowly added shape, meaning and nourishment.

Among them, form is separated from color, and refers to the shape and decoration of food.

Ivan had to admit that Dong Xiaowan, who was delicate in appearance but still a little immature and immature, had a pair of skillful hands, and this soup dumpling was pinched beautifully by her, very delicate and perfect, and he really couldn't find anything wrong.

"Judging from the color, the dough of this soup dumpling is white and translucent, and it can also be called the top grade. ”

Ivan gave a second assessment.

Of course, a qualified food critic can't just say what sounds good, that will make people feel fake.

Therefore, he added: "It's just that if this dough can be replaced with a crystal dough, it should be able to arouse the appetite of diners even more." ”

Dong Xiaowan asked in surprise, "Is there still a crystal in the dough?"

Ivan was stunned for a moment.

How could the dough not have crystals?

In later generations, crystal bags and crystal dumplings can be seen everywhere!

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty didn't know the practice of crystal dough?

He looked at Dong Xiaowan, and then at Chef Zheng, who was listening curiously on the side, and immediately confirmed this opinion.

At the very least, Dong Xiaowan and Chef Zheng should not know how to make crystal dough.

"Well, the kind of crystal clear dough that is steamed out is called crystal dough. ”

Dong Xiaowan was immediately excited.

She asked urgently, "Do you know how to do it, can you teach me?"

Ivan: "......"

I haven't even asked you to teach me how to make soup dumplings, so you let me teach you how to make crystal dough?

His heart immediately moved.

Maybe this is the shortcut that can be exchanged for soup dumplings!

"I'll talk about that later. Ivan replied first.

Since the practice of pouring soup dumplings is related to his task, of course he can't agree so happily.

Equivalent exchange is king.

He directly ignored Dong Xiaowan's expectant eyes and took a small bite of the bun in his hand.

There is a particular way to eat soup dumplings.

Because the bun is full of hot soup, if you bite it directly, it is easy to burn your mouth, so the correct way to eat it is to take a small bite to suck the soup inside.

Moreover, a high-quality soup dumpling should have good noodles, meat, and soup, and if you take a small bite first, you can taste the strength of the dough first.

Another comment from Ivan came out: "The leather book is soft, and this dough tastes very elastic and flexible, and it is also of a first-class level." ”

He's telling the truth.

For a delicacy such as steamed buns, the most important thing is that the dough is soft but not fluffy, and the mouth is chewy and elastic.

There is no doubt that Dong Xiaowan has done a good job in this regard.

He ignored Dong Xiaowan's reaction, sniffed deeply at the small mouth, and then gently sucked and sucked the soup.

After sucking and sucking almost halfway through the soup, he took another bite of the belt meat and began to savor it.

It is worthy of the top-grade soup dumpling, and the taste is indeed first-class!

Ivan had to admit that this was the best soup dumpling he had ever tasted, even better than the one produced in his hotel!

He simply gulped down.

For a chef who cooks with heart, there's nothing better to comment than the gobbling up of diners.

Therefore, Ivan's current eating appearance is a little indecent, and even Tie Niu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he also saw Dong Xiaowan cover his mouth and smile.

Obviously, Ivan's reaction satisfied her again.

After Ivan finished eating, she asked, "How does it taste?"

This means asking for a further review.

After a bun is eaten, the review is no longer difficult for Ivan, and what he needs to do now is to organize the language to give the most objective review of this soup dumpling.

He thought of a crucial point.

Eating soup dumplings, the presence of soup ranks first, followed by meat filling, and dough second.

In the previous review process, the dough had already been reviewed, so now he only needs to add the soup and meat reviews.

"The aroma of the soup is mellow and rich, and the entrance is oily but not greasy, and the soup is excellent in terms of aroma and taste. ”

"The meat is fragrant and tender, sweet and no residue, which means that the steaming heat is just right, and the level of this meat filling is also first-class. ”

End of full review.

Ivan felt that his evaluation should be very objective.

This really surprised Dong Xiaowan.

Since she became obsessed with cooking, she has tried to make a lot of snacks and invited many people to taste them, but it is really rare to review that I can be as meticulous and in place as Ivan.

Color and fragrance, shape and meaning!

She savored the six words that Ivan had mentioned.

She can feel that Ivan's comment is from the perspective of these words, so it is very pertinent and well-founded.

But she still felt as if something was missing.

"What do you mean by raising and raising?"

She gave Ivan another little problem.

The so-called meaning refers to the artistic conception of food.

Just as drinking tea should pay attention to its artistic conception, atmosphere, and culture, food also has the same requirements, which requires a high degree of coordination between the naming, plating and embellishment of food, and the collocation of other foods, and even the image and identity of the environment and diners.

In this way, Ivan can't comment on the meaning of this word on a single soup dumpling.

As for nourishment, it refers to the nutrition of food.

As the saying goes, medicine is not as good as food, and food can nourish people.

The more modern it is, the more high-end the delicacy, the more attention is paid to delicious nutrition, for example, meat and vegetables should be reasonably matched, and the ingredients should pay attention to nutrition and medicinal complementarity, and meet the individual needs of diners.

It took Ivan a little bit of speech to explain this truth to Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan became excited.

She felt as if she had found a treasure, and immediately said to Chef Zheng, "Master Zheng, lend me Derpy, and I'm going to try out a new soup dumpling with him." ”

Ivan: "......"

That's the opportunity?

Is this the real turnaround for the mission?
