110. Domineering "Incense"

Did Li Xiang really forget to remove the feathers? No way.

He took out a small hand-held blowtorch from his feet, and took out a long knife from the knife box and bit it into his mouth, his eyes extremely sharp.

Turning on the blowtorch, the light blue pointed flame with the whirring sound of alcohol and gas spray pressed directly on the body of the chicken, to be precise, every inch of the chicken's feathers. Li Xiang kept adjusting the position of his hand, although the chicken was burning, Li Xiang didn't seem to be burning his hands at all.

The blowtorch and the Satsuma rooster flew in Li Xiang's hands, and the chicken feathers ignited a raging fire, and when everything was burning, Li Xiang paused for a few seconds and threw the whole chicken into the prepared ice water.

"Is Emiya-san playing acrobatics? What's the point of doing that? It will only scorch the skin of the Samodi chicken, which will affect the appearance of the dish. ”

Judges Komatsu and Watanabe were equally negative.

"Maybe it's a remedy in an emergency?"

Keiko Sakata saw that the other two had serious faces, and quickly adjusted the atmosphere in the venue.

The student audience was also discussed.

Li Xiang, who was on the cusp, turned a deaf ear to the noise of the outside world. After the chicken feathers are burned, he puts the processed whole chicken into a basin of spiced water that he has just prepared, and kneades it with both hands so that the ingredients in the water completely enter every fiber of the chicken, and washes off all the endothelial membrane and impurities on the chicken. Then throw a few whole chickens into the casserole, cover and burn over a fierce fire!

It seems to be a sloppy burning of the feathers on the surface of the chicken with a blowtorch, but in fact, it perfectly avoids the epidermis through the ability to control the fire like a flowing blade, and only burns the hair follicles and feathers clean.

At this time, Eizan was making another important part of his cuisine – rice.

The cuisine of Eizan Eretsu is Hainanese chicken rice that originated in the Hainan region.

White-cut chicken is served with a bowl of chicken soup rice stir-fried in chicken fat and stewed in chicken broth, and each place unbridled emphasizes the deliciousness of the chicken itself.

After nearly an hour of cooking, Eizan Eretsu was also the first to finish.

On a snow-white plate, you can arrange the tender chicken cut into strips, the golden chicken soup rice, the green vegetables and the bright red peppers.

Judge Komatsu glanced at the dishes presented by Ruishan and said, "Sure enough, it's Hainanese chicken rice." ”

Ruishan bent down slightly, making the perfect chef's etiquette: "That's right, this is Hainanese chicken rice that originated in the Hainan region of China and was later introduced to Singapore to become Singapore's 'national food'. Ask the three judges to taste it. ”

The three judges glanced at each other and moved their chopsticks at the same time.

The softness and tenderness of the Satsuma Chicken dominate the taste buds of the three judges. Thai fragrant rice stewed in chicken broth made from Satsuma chicken is like a spiritual stone that absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon in legend, firmly fixing the fresh aroma of the chicken, and every time you chew, the flavor of the chicken fat chicken soup in your mouth becomes more three-dimensional.

Judge Komatsu commented, "The meat quality of the Satsuma chicken itself is excellent, and the flavor of such an ingredient can be fully developed with simple preparation. Ruishanjun you use residual temperature heating, which avoids the problem of dry and firewood taste of chicken, and the delicate taste of chicken is greatly reflected in your dishes. ”

Another judge, Watanabe, picked up Komatsu's words: "Not only that, but after the chicken is cooked, he also uses ice water to quickly cool the skin of the chicken, so that the skin and flesh of the chicken become firmer." After the ice water cooled down, he also applied a layer of sesame oil to the surface of the chicken. It not only adds aroma to the chicken but also reduces the loss of moisture, and completely retains the smooth and tender texture of the chicken just out of the pan until the moment the diner eats it. ”

The last female judge, Keiko Sakaguchi, served the dipping sauce with the staple food:

"In my opinion, the dipping sauce made by Eizan Jun is also outstanding. The three sauces, hot sauce, ginger ale, and Thai dark soy sauce, are good at removing the slightly fishy smell of white-cut chicken, and at the same time give the chicken a richer taste, which is very compatible with chicken. What's even better is that the three sauces you offer are completely integrated with the flavor of the chicken in your mouth, is there any mystery in that? ”

Eizan replied with a smile, "Yes, among the three dipping sauces, the hot sauce is made with finest red peppers chopped and mixed with Satsuma chicken broth and chicken fat, the ginger sauce is fresh ginger juice mixed with Satsuma chicken chicken fat, and the Thai dark soy sauce dipping sauce is also added to the chicken broth, so the dipping sauce can perfectly match the chicken, and the effect of one plus one is greater than the sum of its s. ”

Xiao Song closed his eyes, savored the taste in his mouth, and praised: "In addition to the things we just mentioned, there are many details that reflect Ruishan-kun's superb cooking skills to the fullest, and you are worthy of being one of the ten masters, Yuanyue is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”

The three judges unanimously spoke highly of each and every audience member through microphones and amplification equipment.

"Senior Ruishan's evaluation is so high, it seems that there should be no suspense about the result of the halberd this time."

"After all, it's the top ten, and the strength is different from the average student, I still remember the senior's smooth operation, this is only the ninth seat of the ten masters has such strength, I don't know how deep the ten masters of the higher seats are chefs."

"Erina-san, it looks like the situation isn't good."

In the VIP room on the side of the halberd venue, Scarlet Sako was a little nervous.

Erina Nagikiri smiled to soothe the nervous Scarlet.

"Don't be affected by the evaluation of the audience and the judges, you look at Emiya's expression, there is no panic at all, he has always only done things that he is sure of, not to mention that he has tried so many of his dishes, Scarlet Shazi should know his strength very well, rest assured, Emiya will definitely win, and with only the dishes that Ruishan has come up with now, there is absolutely no chance of winning."

Receiving unanimous praise from the three judges, Ruishan was full of confidence, and at this time, a strange aroma spread from behind him.

Watanabe judges took a deep breath and carefully identified the ingredients: "What is this fragrance...... Smoking? ”

The source of the aroma is naturally Li Xiang, who has been immersed in making his own dishes since just now.

I saw that in the open space in front of the cooking table, he calmly set up four ovens, and slowly adjusted the angle of the five Satsuma chickens on the flame, as if he was barbecued on a picnic.

As the flames rise, intense, unique and tangy aromas permeate the entire cooking area.

Watanabe thought for a moment and immediately understood: "The aroma of pure chicken will never be so strong, and the scope of influence will not be so wide, the secret is in the fuel, Emiya uses the traditional method of smoking, and he also adds spices to the fuel!" ”

"Spices are added to the fuel? If I'm not mistaken, after processing the chicken, Emiya-san washed the chicken with a liquid soaked in spices, and then put the chicken in a casserole to stew. How obsessed is this with spices? ”

Keiko Sakata covered her mouth in surprise, but the thick but not noisy aroma of smoked chicken continued to invade her nostrils.

"I have to admit that Emiya's 'fragrance' in the word 'color and fragrance' really conquered my nose. I'm looking forward to Emiya's cooking right now. ”
