【63】Cooking is like alchemy!
Swish!
Luo Xiu's eyes opened suddenly, and there was ...... in his eyes There was a hint of coldness.
The strength of the aura in the body, because of the opening of a taste aperture, actually increased by more than ten times.
If this is to open more than 1,000 points in the whole body, the aura ...... It's definitely going to reach a pretty terrifying level.
"No wonder the spirit kitchen can make spiritual food, and its own spiritual power can be released into the dishes, which has reached a more perfect level!"
Luo Xiu had some enlightenment.
In this world, although ingredients are important, the spiritual chef who cooks should not be underestimated.
In the process of cooking, they also have spiritual power, which is where the spiritual kitchen is worshipped by the world.
But in the next second, Luo Xiu's expression ...... But it's a little frozen.
This is certainly not due to the restoration of the sense of taste, but ...... The taste of golden egg fried rice left in my mouth is really - it's so good!
The moment his sense of taste recovered, Luo Xiu finally understood...... The domineering of the ingredients of the gourmet continent.
The feeling of being captured is simply delicious.
Taste that will last a lifetime!
Thump!
Luo Xiu lay down in the practice room, but there was a glimmer of essence in his eyes!
This world of food ...... It's so much fun!
"Ingredients! There are such wonderful ingredients, the warm summer valley, the moisture and sweetness, have reached a perfect fit, the moment you bite down, it seems to be able to burst out of a fragrance and nature!"
"And that spotted pheasant egg, with its strong fragrance and viscous egg white, can make people's cells tremble a little instantly!"
"These ...... It's just the most basic ingredients?"
In the past, Luo Xiu just thought that the ingredients were legendary, but now that he tasted them in person, he finally understood...... Why people in this world are so dependent on food?
Because the taste of the most basic ingredients is already delicious.
It almost doesn't need seasonings to enhance the flavor, and it can make people feel the urge to eat it in one bite.
"It's fantastic!"
Luo Xiu exhaled, but it was really hard to swallow in his stomach, because ...... I just ate too much and haven't digested it yet.
"It seems that I can only wait for tomorrow when I have regained my sense of smell!"
Luo Xiu stood up on the ground, although it was late at night, his expression was still a little excited.
Regaining his sense of taste, Luo Xiu prepares to study the spices of this world.
......
Luo Xiu came to the kitchen and turned on the tea light.
It is a lamp made from the branches and leaves of a tree called a "tea tree", which burns slowly but emits a strong light.
The inhabitants of the Food Continent use this kind of branch as lighting, which is very convenient.
A taste of spices and spices is placed in the kitchen.
Different from the dried grass leaves in the previous life, the spices of this gourmet continent have developed to an extreme.
"Activated plants can also be used to enhance flavor!"
Luo Xiu picked up a plant called "Yueshi Huang", the green branches and leaves looked vibrant, Luo Xiu did not recover his sense of smell, and he couldn't smell anything.
But the moment I put it in my mouth, there was a feeling of sourness and fragrance.
"Hmm...... It tastes like lemon!"
Luo Xiu quickly marked it, and then picked up another green leaf next to it, this leaf has a large zigzag shape, called "big impeller", a spice that is very commonly used in gourmet mainland dishes.
Squeak!
Luo Xiu took a bite slightly, it was very bitter, but there was a rich spicy and sweet!
"Huh?"
"It's ...... Coin's Moon Orange?!"
Luo Xiu couldn't help but exclaim, and his eyes widened.
Corin's moon orange, which is the scientific name, has a very common name on earth - curry leaf.
Curry leaves are different from curry, curry is a general term, the most common is of course yellow curry, a rather strange taste, but in fact, yellow curry is the most common kind of curry, in India or Southeast Asia, curry varieties, at least hundreds, are made through this coin's moon orange, that is, curry leaves and other spices.
This kind of curry is called spices.
The taste of a lot of spices is actually quite distinctive.
For example, white curry, which is a special seasoning made with spices such as cloves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric powder and chili peppers, will be very rich and sweet when placed in the soup.
"No wonder the large impeller is so commonly used, this is the ancestor of versatile spices!"
This flavor has a large impeller, and the taste is the same as curry leaves, but ...... Luo Xiu still recognized that there was a big difference from the curry leaves in his previous life.
The first is the taste, which is very strong!
"That's the power of freshness!"
On Earth in a past life, spices were rarely fresh, and many were sun-dried, dried curry leaves.
The second is quality, this large impeller, compared to the latest freshness of Luo Xiu's previous life, can be in's moon orange, in addition to the stimulation of taste, it is also fresh.
It can be said to be an activated spice.
"No wonder there is no seasoning in this world...... With such an abundance of spices, you can probably build an incomparably rich variety of blends!"
Luo Xiu tasted the spices in the kitchen a little.
The slightly salty "dried bamboo leaves and grass", the "shellac" with sugar, and the botanical agent that has been grilled and baked, and the mixed sweet and umami flavor are not inferior to monosodium glutamate at all.
"The cuisine of this world is really unique, but ...... It's too messy!"
Luo Xiu tried more than a hundred plants in the kitchen and quickly came to a conclusion.
Unless you are a chef who has thoroughly studied the characteristics of spices and spices, you should ...... It is also difficult to blend so many spices into a delicacy.
On Earth, Luo Xiu also studied spices.
Blending spices into your own spices is an Indian chef's instinct.
The spices that have been blended can have a synergistic effect.
The greater the variety of blends, the more easily the characteristics of each spice will be suppressed, and the flavor will become concentrated and pleasantly mild.
But...... In fact, the more types of blending, the better, and adding them indiscriminately will produce a lot of miscellaneous smells.
This limit is within 20 kinds!
This is a gastronomic scientist in a previous life, using scientific evidence, to draw conclusions.
This involves plant-to-plant HLB temperatures, hydrophilic lipophilic equilibriums, and dispersed water-in-oil types...... A variety of technical terms.
"Although the spices of this world are very sophisticated, it can be said to be terrible, even hydration, baking, blending and oil stir-frying, but ...... They are still inferior to the earth in the use of ingredients!"
"No wonder there are so few chefs who can make delicious food!"
Luo Xiu thought for a while and came to a conclusion in an instant.
Relying on the excellence of ingredients and spices, the chefs of the gastronomic continent rarely think about bringing the ingredients to the limit.
It's more about the combination of spices and ingredients.
In other words, they think about the compatibility between spices and ingredients first, not ...... Bring out the characteristics of the ingredients perfectly.
"What a mistake!"
A glint flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes.
For a person from the world of science, the ingredients are the body and soul of the food, not the so-called pairing!
"The ingredients are dead, the pairings are alive...... First of all, we must give full play to the characteristics of the ingredients, and then we need to consider the problem of collocation, right?"
Luo Xiu finally knows the biggest drawback of this world's cuisine.
They actually...... Treating food as alchemy, how to perfectly activate spirituality is the primary consideration.
The second is the taste.
"It is worthy of being a continent of cultivation, cooking is like alchemy, everything is ...... It's all about cultivation, not ...... Delicious!"
Luo Xiu sighed slightly, in order to verify his inner thoughts.
He was going to go to the Ink Champs.
The best way to witness the cuisine of this continent is, of course, ...... Taste it for yourself.
"Weilan, get up...... Today's breakfast, we went out to eat!"
