Chapter 292: Sugar-hearted poached eggs
The more familiar the ingredients, the easier it is to form a mindset, and eggs are one of them.
That's right, almost everyone cooks eggs, and if you take the simplest boiled egg, what's so hard about throwing it directly into hot water? Even a three-year-old kid can.
However, if you think about it, how many people can accurately control the time of boiling eggs? Are they all boiling eggs by feeling? Probably good, almost, it should be okay, the time difference between these words can be very large.
However, egg whites are very delicate ingredients, and if you want to make egg whites achieve the best texture, there is a short period of golden time, less than the golden time is biased, and more than the golden time is older, and there are very few people who can really grasp the golden time.
This is still the most basic boiled egg, poached eggs, single-sided omelettes, double-sided omelettes, hot spring eggs, etc., the requirements for time and heat are more stringent, and there are very few that can really be done.
So Qin Yu didn't feel relaxed at all, don't look at the small eggs, the knowledge is big, Long Mei'er chose eggs as the ingredients for the competition, and he must have seen this point.
On the judging platform, Long Mei'er looked at everyone's reactions, and most of them's reactions were in line with her expectations, except for a few people with serious expressions without any relaxation, including Qin Yu.
"I'm not embarrassed about him, am I? I just want to find out his basics, well. Long Mei'er was talking to herself in her heart, but she forgot why she started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find clothes in the early morning?
"Ah Xue go to the watch seat, don't worry, I'm fine. Qin Yu turned his head to Murong Xue and said.
"Well, it's just a little egg, Brother Qin Yu, you will definitely be able to defeat him smoothly. Murong Xue secretly glanced at Qiu Li, turned around and ran towards the viewing seat.
"Are you all ready?" asked Long Mei'er in a raised voice.
"Ready!" the fifty contestants agreed in unison, most of them looking relaxed and eager to try. But I didn't know that there would be a time when they would cry.
"Very well, now that you're all set, let's all take place. Long Mei'er waited for all fifty people to be in place, "Now I announce the assessment question of the first level, do you see the egg in front of you?"
Hear the word poached egg. Someone actually laughed out loud, for fear of offending Long Mei'er, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and snickered.
"It turned out to be a poached egg, which is too simple. ”
"Isn't it too child's play to take the poached eggs in the food spirit assessment?"
"We are already first-class foodies, and we will soon become nine-grade foodies, and the poached eggs are too cheap. ”
"Poached eggs, I'm embarrassed to say it when I'm admitted to the food spirit, alas, ......"
Feel simple at the same time. Most people also feel embarrassed, if they say it, they will definitely be laughed at, so let's make some big dishes, or go out and brag about it.
Qin Yu still didn't laugh, the reason was very simple, there was only one egg in front of him, could it be that there was still a limit to the number of eggs?
As it turned out, Long Mei'er saw everyone's reactions. The smile on the corner of his mouth was a little sarcastic, and he patted the table and said, "Don't be too happy." Each of you only has one egg, which means you only have one chance to complete the perfect candy poached egg, and any failure will stop you!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was dead and silent, was it really happy and sad?
Looking at the only egg in front of them, most of the players were stupid, there was only one egg. There is only one chance, if you fail to equal the first level, you will be eliminated, if you are eliminated because of the failure of the little egg assessment, you will definitely be laughed at when you go back, who will be planted on the egg. I will definitely never eat eggs again.
At this moment, Long Mei'er added weight to the pressure weighing pan: "Please note, I want the perfect sugar poached egg, heat control is very important, poached eggs that do not meet my requirements will be judged to fail." ”
The faces of the contestants finally changed, sugar poached eggs are very common, after cutting, the yolk will flow out like a viscous sugar heart, the visual taste is very good, but the perfect sugar poached egg is not easy to make, the control of the heat is quite important, and the perfect sugar heart cannot be formed if it is too raw or overcooked.
There is only one egg, and if you want to make a perfect sugar poached egg, you will be eliminated if you make a slight mistake, and the psychological pressure of the players will skyrocket for a while.
However, is that the end of it?
Of course not, Long Mei'er didn't take out the hourglass, but took out a stick of incense: "Before this incense is burned, I want to see the perfect sugar poached egg, but what about ......"
The words changed suddenly, and Long Mei'er actually pinched off two-thirds of the incense, pointed to the remaining one-third and said: "The time for a stick of incense is too long, and an egg definitely doesn't need to take that long, so the three of us judges unanimously decided to shorten it by two-thirds, right?"
After speaking, Long Mei'er turned her head to look at the other two judges, and the two judges immediately bowed their heads, looking very serious, but there was a little sweat on their heads.
Looking at the two-thirds of the incense that was broken, finally a contestant exclaimed with a pale face, converted into modern time, a stick of incense is about thirty minutes, and one-third is ten minutes.
To boil boiled eggs within ten minutes, to complete the perfect sugar poached eggs, the time is really too tight, nervous to race against time, a little worse pool eggs can not be cooked at all!
Not to mention the other contestants this time, even Qin Yu felt nervous, even boiling water with boiled eggs, to make a perfect sugar poached egg in ten minutes, the time was so tight that it was outrageous.
Seeing that the contestants began to sweat nervously, and there was no longer the relaxed look just now, Long Mei'er felt very satisfied, clapped her hands and said: "It's just morning, and the three of us judges haven't eaten breakfast yet, I hope you can all present the perfect sugar poached eggs, and the assessment begins!"
After speaking, Long Mei'er lit the incense, pulled up her skirt and sat down, and the two judges next to her also sat down one after another.
"It's begun?" Seeing the green smoke rising from the clouds, the contestants came back to their senses, and they were all in a hurry under the pressure, and several pots fell to the ground.
There were no more than five people who were still calm in the arena, including Qiu Li and Qin Yu, and their movements were almost synchronized, lighting the fire, taking the pot, adding water, and boiling water, and they did not waste any time in an orderly manner.
At this time, the more panicked, the worse things will be, and if you want to pass the test, you must seize every minute and every second.
It wasn't until the lid of the pot was closed that Qin Yu had the strength to look at others, and after Qiu Li closed the lid of the pot, he immediately closed his eyes and lowered his head, and his fingers were gently tapped without being disturbed by the outside world at all.
Except for him, Qiu Li and a few people, most of them were still in a state of panic, and even some forgot to cover the lid of the pot when boiling water, if they could complete the boiling of the boiled eggs within the specified time, he would eat the whole pot.
