Chapter 420: Dandanmian
Entering the arena, Gao Dian first chose a corner position, which was relatively quiet.
What he didn't expect was that Wang Pinkui came to the position next to him.
In this arena, there are many people, so the distance between the positions is very close. That is, the width that can accommodate a person to pass through.
Wang Pinkui turned his head, looked at Gao Dian and smiled, his smile meaningful.
Gao Dian didn't understand, this was Wang Pinkui's intention, he deliberately came to his side.
After checking the ingredients, the competition officially begins.
As the game began, Wang Pinkui didn't care about Gao Dian and concentrated on making pastries.
Today he behaved a little childishly, which was caused by his anger in his heart.
He originally thought that Gao Dian would definitely agree to his request, but Gao Dian refused, and the reason for refusing was particularly perfunctory.
Wang Pinkui did not knead the dough immediately, but processed other ingredients first.
Looking at his ingredients, it is not simple, there are pork bones, chicken, duck, ham, etc.
I saw him put the ingredients into the pot and began to boil.
The pastry he wants to make is soup dumplings!
The soul of this kind of pastry is the soup, and whether the soup in the bun is good or not directly determines the taste of the bun.
Therefore, making soup dumplings is more of a test of the skill of boiling soup.
On the side, Gao Dian kneaded the dough.
What he's going to do today is noodles, but it's not knife-cut noodles, and it's not dragon whisker noodles.
Rather, it is a noodle called tantanmen.
Speaking of dandan noodles, many people may not be very familiar with them, but this is one of the top ten noodles in China, and it is also a famous snack in City C.
Dandan noodles are actually a type of dry noodles that are similar to hot dry noodles, but with different seasonings.
The origin of the name of dandan noodles is due to the fact that this kind of noodles were sold by picks and gentlemen back then.
Legend has it that it was created in 1841 by a hawker surnamed Chen. At that time, this ancestor used a flat pole to carry and sell, carrying hot water from the stove at one end, and pots and pans with noodle seasoning at the other, selling as he walked.
Hence the name dandan noodles.
Of course, what makes dandan noodles famous is their unique way of seasoning.
Dandan noodles belong to Sichuan Province, and the people here love spicy, no matter what kind of dish it is, they like to eat spicy and fragrant.
Like the dishes in Sichuan cuisine, most of them are heavy oil and spicy, and a few light Sichuan dishes are rare for ordinary people.
Dandan noodles are no exception, because they are street food, different from the lightness of high-end Sichuan cuisine, the seasoning of dandan noodles is spicy and fragrant.
Of course, the dandan noodles are not only spicy, but the taste of the dandan noodles is quite rich.
The soul of Dandan noodles is the brittleness.
The noodles are in Sichuan Province, and they are used to be divided into three types: soup noodles, thin marinated noodles, and dry stewed noodles.
Soup noodles are noodles with soup, such as braised beef noodles, beef noodles in clear soup, stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms, etc.
Dilute marinated noodles are relatively thick, and there is generally a process of thickening, such as noodles with marinated noodles and garlic eel noodles.
Dry boiled noodles refer to fried noodles, which are generally relatively dry, such as noodles with mixed sauce and dandan noodles.
The so-called noodles are also called noodles or toppings in other places. Different places have different names.
Crispy noodles are dry.
After Gao Dian kneaded the dough, set it aside to rise, and then he took out a piece of pork and chopped it with a knife.
This piece of pork, the hind leg of the pork he chose, is a little firmer here. It is most suitable for making crispy noodles.
Chop the pork, stir-fry in a pan, and add some sweet noodle sauce until the water is dry and brown.
Then Gao Dian tasted the taste with the chopsticks he carried with him, and put it aside.
When the crispy dough is ready, the dough is almost ready to rise.
Once the dough has risen, it's time to make ramen.
There are no restrictions on the noodles of dandan noodles, and they do not necessarily have to be ramen noodles or noodles cut with a knife.
The soul of dandan noodles lies in seasoning, and as for noodles, there are very few restrictions.
Of course, there are some restrictions on the thickness.
This is not difficult for Gao Dian, he divided five by two, and then pulled the noodles well, and the thickness of the roots was even.
Setting the dough aside, he began to work on the other ingredients.
The seasoning of this dandan noodle is quite complicated, which is also one of the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine.
Gao Dian chopped the sprouts, crushed the peanuts with a knife, and cut out the green onions.
Of course, the chili oil, which is more important for dandan noodles, also needs to be made.
The production of chili oil is not complicated, the simplest is to pour hot oil into the chili noodles to form chili oil.
However, each family has its own recipe, and some require a lot of different spices just for the hot oil step. It has only one purpose, which is to increase fragrance.
The common ones are green onions, ginger, garlic, onions, and spices, and of course some special seasonings are added.
After the oil is fragrant, there is no need to add anything else to the chili, at most put some salt, and pour the oil into it in batches.
The first oil should not be too hot, it will fry the chili paste, the oil temperature is lower, wet the chili noodles, and then add the oil with high oil temperature twice.
The chili oil should be left to stand for 24 hours before the flavor of the chili pepper can be fully dissipated in the oil.
Gao Dian does not have this condition, and now that he is competing, he can't really wait twenty-four hours.
However, making chili oil on site is not impossible.
Although the flavor of the pepper is not fully dissipated into the oil, the difference is not as big as expected.
As long as you grasp it well, the taste is just as amazing.
Wang Pinkui on the side also carried out in the later stage.
The way he used it was to wrap the broth in the buns in the form of skin jelly.
The gelatinous texture of the pork skin temporarily fixes the soup into a jelly-like solid.
It's much easier to pack solids than liquids, and gum can also add a sense of heaviness to soups.
In order to make the soup stock cool quickly, Wang Pinkui used ice cubes, and if it was cooled naturally, it would be too late.
Gao Dian boiled the dough, took it out and put it in a bowl, added salt, sugar, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and other seasonings, added the prepared chili oil, sprinkled a little peppercorn noodles, put the crispy rice and chopped peanuts, and finally sprinkled a little green green onion to garnish.
A dandan noodle is made.
In fact, the seasoning of dandan noodles is quite complicated, and it is also a test for Gao Dian.
When he first learned this pastry, he did a good job in all aspects, but this seasoning was always a little worse.
Fortunately, Gao Dian can be regarded as having an external body, and he soon slowly mastered the seasoning of dandan noodles.
The tantan noodles he makes now are also extremely delicious.
Ever since he reached the level of a first-class pastry chef, his cooking skills have been improving rapidly.
In two months, he learned a lot of pastries that he didn't know before, and all of them reached an impeccable level.
This kind of progress, even Wei Qiaoyi doesn't know.
He didn't know how terrible his progress was.
After it was done, Gao Dian raised his hand, and a staff member came and took away the noodles.
After eating it twice, Yuan Yuan was full of expectations for Gao Dian's pastry.
She doesn't have much expectation for other people's pastries, but for the pastries made by Gao Dian, Yuan Yuan is full of expectations.
Maybe it's because of the blessing of the aura of idols.
Yuan Yuan had even figured out how to write down the delicious food she tasted these days when she went back, and of course the focus must be on the noodles made by Gao Dian.
Today's noodle is a noodle dish.
Yuan Yuan, as a traveler who travels from south to north, especially a traveler who has a deep study of food, naturally recognizes this noodle.
This is exactly the dandan noodles in Chuanchuan Province.
Yuan Yuan has been to Sichuan Province before, and there are all kinds of scenery to see there.
And because Sichuan Province is mountainous, it is also a good place for adventurous travelers.
Yuan Yuan also wrote about the food in Sichuan Province, but it was only one thousandth of what Sichuan Province was fine.
There are so many delicacies in Sichuan Province that they are full of characteristics, and after eating them, they will be unforgettable.
"I don't know if the taste of this dandan noodles is authentic Sichuan Province." Yuan Yuan suddenly thought.
Without much grinding, the judging officially began.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to taste this bowl of dandan noodles.
Yuan Yuan is no exception,
She stirred the dough well, and a spicy and fragrant smell came to her nose.
This is a characteristic of Sichuan cuisine.
After stirring well, the noodles are topped with red chili oil, which looks brown and shiny.
Yuan Yuan smelled this smell and was immediately reminded of his taste memory. She couldn't help but think of her days in Sichuan Province.
She couldn't wait to taste it, and suddenly a spicy and fragrant taste hit her taste buds, making her feel numb.
The noodles are smooth and springy, the sprouts are salty, crispy and delicious, and the peanuts are the finishing touch.
This is for the taste of dandan noodles.
Yuan Yuan thought to herself.
However, she also felt that it was different from the dandan noodles she had eaten in Sichuan Province, and it seemed that there was a difference in taste.
But the degree of deliciousness is even better.
tasted such a delicacy, Yuan Yuan didn't care about the rules of being a judge, and ate all the bowls of noodles in one go. Fortunately, the amount of this bowl of noodles itself is not much, otherwise, Yuan Yuan would not have to conduct the subsequent review.
Except for Yuan Yuan, others were also immersed in the deliciousness of this dandan noodle, and they enjoyed this rare delicious noodle.
Soon, everyone withdrew from the deliciousness, and they were also gourmet-level diners, and their resistance to food was still very strong.
Soon, the judges began to score, and after the scoring was over, Gao Dian also left the arena.
Similarly, he doesn't know his score right now, and won't know until it's released.
Here, Wang Pinkui is also about to finish filling soup dumplings.
This pastry can be said to be his best pastry, he was going to use it in the last round, but since Gao Dian refused, he used it in this round.
The first in this round, he is bound to win.
Although he was a little impulsive, Wang Pinkui didn't have a good way.
The first in the last round is particularly important, as for how to get the first in that round, Wang Pinkui already has some ideas in his heart.
After he got the first place in this round, he went to talk to Gao Dian again.
He wanted Gao Dian to understand that he was not incapable of getting the first. In this way, if he pays the same price as before, he may be able to make Gao Dian agree.
Of course, he doesn't necessarily have to.
At that time, maybe he can also win the first place by relying on his own ability.
Looking for Gao Dian, it's just to be more secure.
Gao Dian lost, and he could continue after five years.
He lost, and five years later the daylilies were cold.
After Gao Dian came out, Li Dongyang looked at the surveillance screen and didn't say a word, Gao Dian walked behind him, and he didn't find it.
"Li Dongyang." Gao Dian shouted.
Li Dongyang slowly turned his head and looked at Gao Dian in a daze.
"Let's go, let's go back." Gao Dian said.
"Wait a minute, I'd like to take a look." Li Dongyang said
When Gao Dian heard this, he answered, sat beside him and waited.
Like Li Dongyang's situation, it is very normal.
He may have seen something useful to him through surveillance.
Gao Dian had been expecting such a harvest, but he didn't.
Time passed slowly, and Li Dongyang finally finished reading, and he said, "Let's go." ”
Gao Dian answered, and then stood up, ready to leave with him.
At this moment, a voice came from behind Gao Dian.
"Chef Gao."
This one is very familiar, turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Wang Pinkui.
"Something?" Gao Dian asked.
"It's okay, I just want to ask, does Chef Gao have the confidence to win the first place in this round?" Wang Pinkui asked with a smile.
"So what? What if not? Gao Dian asked.
"No, I'm just asking. The first two rounds of Chef Gao were the first, don't lose this third round. Wang Pinkui said with a smile.
"It's my business to lose it or not, it's none of your business. Nothing else, I'll go first. Gao Dian said with a cold face.
He didn't give Wang Pinkui a good look.
Wang Pinkui's actions today made Gao Dian a little impatient.
You have the ability to take away the first, and you've been saying something about that somewhere, which annoys Gao Dian.
Wang Pinkui didn't say anything more this time and let Gao Dian leave.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, his behavior today was a little childish.
It stands to reason that a person of his age would not do such a childish thing, and he deliberately spoke to provoke a young man like Gao Dian.
But that's what he did, and after doing it, he felt extremely comfortable.
He thought about it, maybe because he was rejected yesterday.
felt that he was rejected by a young man like Gao Dian, and he was unwilling, so he wanted to vent his anger.
Thinking of this, Wang Pinkui also left here.
On the way, Li Dongyang asked with some curiosity: "That person just now seems to be a very famous pastry chef, do you have any grievances?" ”
Li Dongyang couldn't remember Wang Pinkui, but he had heard of it and met him.
Looking at Gao Dian's cold attitude, it seems that it is not as simple as knowing that person.
Hearing this question, Gao Dian said: "There is no grudge, I just think this person is very annoying." ”
He didn't tell Wang Pinkui about making a deal with him, there was no need for this.
"Well, I thought he had offended you." Li Dongyang said.
"Nope." Gao Dian smiled and said, not explaining anything more.
Li Dongyang was also curious, and after Gao Dian said it, he didn't ask again.
