Chapter 100 How can a food novel be without egg fried rice
The matter of where Li thought about where he went had to start a few hours ago.
After the morning class, the students obeyed the arrangements of the teacher and the school and continued to participate in the follow-up training. The content of the training camp is also much the same as before. In other words, according to the problem arranged by the teacher, make a dish that meets the requirements of the question.
It's quite a coincidence that the teacher Li Xiang met in his last project was the 69th graduate of the Far Moon School Park, the chief chef and board member of the Far Moon Resort, and he had a devil muscle man in the bathhouse before-Dojima Silver.
Dojima's assignment is to make a non-Japanese dish using common Japanese ingredients available in the kitchen.
Of course, this is not difficult for Li Xiang, who was accustomed to tasting the eight major cuisines of China in his previous life, and refined French cuisine and Japanese cuisine after coming to the world of halberds. In less than 30 minutes, he used eggs, rice, arctic shrimp, arctic shellfish, dried bonito and other ingredients provided in the kitchen to complete a classic home-cooked staple dish of Chinese cuisine - egg fried rice. And brought it to Dojima Gin, who was in charge of evaluating the results of the review.
That's right, you read that right, it's egg fried rice.
This dish, or rather staple, is absolutely a mainstay of all Celestial Empire cuisine, well, of course, it's a joke. However, fried rice does have a considerable presence in a large number of food dramas and novels. In almost all of the novels that Li Xiang has read, egg fried rice is regarded as a basic dish for chefs to demonstrate their basic skills.
In the real world, there was even a Peninsula singer who wrote a popular song called "Egg Fried Rice", which also wrote that "the rice should be separated from the grains and dipped in eggs".
Indeed, if you want to make a simple bowl of egg fried rice really delicious, the heat of stir-frying, the strength of the spoon, and the timing of adding various ingredients and seasonings are all a kind of knowledge. It is a test of a chef's comprehensive ability.
For Li Xiang, who has "housekeeping EX", the home-cooked dish of egg fried rice is really a handy thing.
To be precise, Red A's housekeeping skills are the "abilities" that appeared because Red A or Emiya Shirou was too good at housework, and was ridiculed by fans. It's just that because fans have the understanding that "Red A should have housekeeping skills", this skill is really reflected in Red A.
The function of this skill is to give people the ability to have the ability of a grandmaster in terms of "housework". Skills include but are not limited to cooking skills, but also cleaning, tidying, and repairing furniture.
However, because housekeeping skills are not "cooking" skills, Li Xiang, who inherited Red A's ability, is definitely unique in making home-cooked food, but he can only cook at home, and his skills will not give him the cooking skills that can become the world's top chef.
Therefore, Li Xiang, who has come to this world, can't sleep on the skill of "housekeeping EX", he still needs to keep learning, so that he can evolve from a "perfect home cook" to a "professional chef".
But then again, if it comes to making home-cooked dishes such as egg rolls, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, soba noodles, and egg fried rice, Li Xiang, who has "housekeeping EX", can make flowers.
Li Xiang is confident, and the egg fried rice he made is the best egg fried rice in the world, and there is no one. If there is, it is just a matter of choosing the best and the less delicious between the egg fried rice he makes.
"It seems that you are quite confident in your cooking, and it has been less than 30 minutes since I announced the topic, and someone has submitted an assignment."
Dojima Silver looked at Li Xiang and teased with a smile.
"Since coming to Yuanyue, I have been learning about the food culture of different countries, and I have a certain understanding of Chinese cuisine. Fried rice is a dish that requires cooking skills, but it is not the kind of dish that takes time to boil. As for whether my confidence is targeted, Chef Dojima, you will understand it by tasting it. ”
Seeing Li Xiang's confident expression, Dojima Silver also laughed: "Okay, then let me review it." ”
Dojima picked up the spoon, but did not start tasting it directly, first observing the appearance of the fried rice.
"The ingredients that can be seen from the surface, such as bacon, diced carrots, chopped green onions, frangipani, and arctic shrimp and shrimp, are basically Japanese ingredients. The overall color of the rice is a little reddish, and the eggs are very evenly distributed, wrapped in three or two grains of rice, which is very good. I remember when I was younger, when I traveled to China on the other side of the sea, I once tasted the egg fried rice made by the hotel chef, and it was like this. ”
After briefly examining the appearance of the fried rice on the plate, Dojima Gin gave it a good score in his heart.
"Next, there's the most important part of a dish, the taste."
Dojima Silver scooped up a spoonful of Li Xiang's fried rice and chewed it slowly in his mouth.
"Huh?! This flavor is not the soy sauce, oyster sauce or cooking wine commonly used in Chinese fried rice, but the miso! ”
Miso, also known as soy paste, is a seasoning made by fermenting soybeans with salt and different koji seeds, and is widely used in Japan. If you want to compare, it is similar to the miso in Northeast China.
Li Xiang explained:
"I use ingredients like arctic shrimp in my fried rice, but to be honest, the Japanese ingredients in the dishes are still a bit insufficient, so I came up with the idea of miso. This fermented seasoning has both 'fresh' and 'salty' flavors, and after adding some oil and water to adjust the concentration, it becomes a seasoning that is very suitable for fried rice, which also makes the rice grains show a reddish red miso color. ”
The simple fried rice has a taste that is not simple, and the chef's wrist is vividly reflected in the rice grains evenly coated in golden egg wash and the right heat. What surprised Dojima even more was that there was an energy in this simple dish that he had to pay attention to.
This mysterious energy drove Dojima's emotions, and he couldn't help but recall the good things he had felt in his family in the past.
This plate of egg fried rice is like the smell from my mother that I often felt in the kitchen at home as a child, full of the warmth of home.
"Emiya, didn't you expect you to comprehend the 'kitchen heart'?"
Dojima Silver looked at Li Xiang with emotion, and when he said the word "kitchen heart", Dojima Silver also specially lowered his voice.
The chef's heart is the chef's own emotions that are dissolved in the cuisine, and the top chefs can mobilize the emotional resonance of the diners themselves through the emotional energy contained in the cuisine, which is also the first threshold for a chef to reach the highest level of cooking.
As a middle-aged person who also has a kitchen heart, Dojima Silver is very clear about how difficult it is to comprehend the kitchen heart. Yuanyue has graduated so many excellent culinary geniuses, but among these geniuses, there are still very few people who can comprehend the heart of cooking. Take Kojiro Shinomiya, who was full of style before, for example, although he is the first in the class of 79 graduates, proficient in French cuisine, and has won various awards, he still has not understood the heart of cooking.
Although as the predecessor of Kojiro Shinomiya, Dojima Silver never doubts Kojiro Shinomiya's potential, and thinks that in a few years at most, Shinomiya will be able to comprehend it, but ......
Unexpectedly, in front of him, there was a young man who was less than eight years old, and he stepped over the step that stopped countless chefs.
Thinking of this, Dojima glanced deeply at Li Xiang again.
"Emiya, you're qualified, now the others aren't over yet, you come out with me first. There's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”
