Chapter 92: Assessment (2) (2) (2nd Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection!) )
Next up, Muneaki Saito, is still his best sashimi sushi, but unlike traditional sushi, there are no sushi rice or neon terrier rice that are commonly used to make sushi here.
It is a very sticky yellow rice with a large change in form, with a very thin fillet wrapped in rice balls with a specially prepared sauce.
The three people who chose to taste were Wang Lao, a fish cooking master, Granny Zhang, a pastry master, and another old man surnamed Lu, who was very good at knife work.
"[Fish belly rolls], please taste it."
The three of them looked at the food in front of them, the whole small roll was divided into three layers from top to bottom, the first layer was a thin fish belly, light white and even a little transparent, the fat of the fish belly appeared crystal clear, the second layer was a brown sauce with a little green, when you picked up the small roll with chopsticks, you could see the sauce flowing through the fish belly, but after a special wrapping technique, there was no leakage, and the third layer was steamed yellow rice.
The three of them put the small roll in their mouths, refused slightly, the belly of the fish burst, the sauce and the mixed mustard flowed into the mouth, mellow and smooth wrapping around the tip of the tongue, the yellow rice was full of elasticity, jumping in the mouth, jumping down the throat into the stomach of the three.
"Well, you passed." Wang Lao directly put down his chopsticks and said.
"Thank you, old-timers." Muneaki Saito bowed.
"This dish of yours can be put on your menu after you leave, but you have to solve the problem of choosing the fish yourself, and there is no old man's "freshwater sea fish" outside. Wang Lao said.
Saito Muneaki nodded seriously, the core of the success of this dish lies in the "freshwater sea fish" specially cultivated by Wang Lao.
Freshwater marine fish, with the fresh and tender meat of freshwater fish, also has the rich umami of marine fish, set the advantages of marine fish and freshwater fish in one, but does not have the muddy smell that freshwater fish should have and the sea fishy smell that marine fish should have.
And the reason why it can wrap the rolls and prevent the sauce from leaking out is because the flesh of this fish is extremely elastic and tough.
If the other fish slices are kept at such a thin thickness, they may break with a little force.
"Your knife skills are good, come with me." Chen Lao, who is good at knife work, said directly, when he saw that Saito Zongming could master the Hundred Cave Kitchen Knife, he had already made a choice.
"This! Yes, thank you very much. Saito Muneaki is not stupid, of course he understands what Old Chen's words mean.
Subsequently, the brothers Takmi and Isami were praised for their current knowledge of restoring traditional Italian cuisine with the cooking method of Chinese cuisine, and Mito Yumei's "Honey Dongpo Meat" was also praised by Granny Zhao.
At the same time, Mito Yumei's understanding and expertise in meat, coupled with her slender cooking style, was taken by Granny Zhao and taken away directly.
Although Yoshino Yuhime is very good at poultry and game cooking, her use of "black feather black-bone chicken" is somewhat unsatisfactory and has not been recognized by everyone.
But when she was sad and lost, a game master surnamed Liu discovered her love for game cuisine and asked her a question.
"Why game cuisine?"
"Because I think the game in nature is the most pure delicacy, and it perfectly restores nature."
got this answer, and let her follow her without saying a word, which can be regarded as tragic and happy.
Marui Zenji does not have a particularly strong talent, nor does he have a particularly obvious area of expertise, but the huge amount of knowledge in his mind has been favored by Xiao Lao, a master known as the "cooking encyclopedia".
The first group ended, the second group played, and each student was recognized by different elders and was qualified to stay and study here.
Until the third group, this is also the group that Yang Cao is most worried about.
Because this group is the most uncertain, such as Kohei Soma, he is the biggest uncertainty, you don't know what kind of food he will serve.
Another example is Alice Nagikiri and Momo Akane Kubo, who rely most on modern cooking equipment, and Misaku-ang, who imitates other people's cooking.
"It's ...... Deep-fried buns? Granny Zhang, the pastry master, looked at the golden bun in front of her with great interest.
"Yes, Granny Zhang, this is what I have newly realized, about the concept of "cute", please taste, [Golden Smile]. Akane Kubo said.
"What? [Golden Smile]? ”
"Hey, hey, just kidding, this kid actually knows this dish?"
When the old people heard the name of "Golden Laughter", there was a little commotion.
"It's all quiet!" Granny Zhang turned around and drank softly, and the scene fell silent.
"Girl, are you good at pastry?" Granny Zhang asked Akane Kubo Momo seriously.
"I'm good at desserts, especially cute things." Akane Kubo replied.
"Lovely...... Is it? Haha, girl, I'll put my words here, if your fried bun is really [Golden Laughter], you follow me, no one is allowed to rob it! Granny Zhang announced domineeringly.
"Huh?" Akane Kubo Momo was stunned, she didn't know why she had such a big reaction to her cooking, Granny Zhang.
But before she could get an answer, she heard a burst of cheerful laughter.
"Giggle......
This laughter did not come from the mouth of anyone present, but the golden bun that Granny Zhang was holding in her hand was laughing.
"Open...... Just kidding, right? ”
"Buns...... Buns really laughed! ”
The students looked at the buns in Granny Zhang's hand with a shocked expression.
"Really laughed, hahaha, [Golden Smile]! This is the [Golden Smile]! After speaking, Granny Zhang asked for it.
The rich soup poured into Granny Zhang's mouth in an instant, impacting her taste buds, and at the same time, the beef grains bounced around in Granny Zhang's mouth like jumping candy.
But as soon as you chew it, the elastic beef cubes are easily chewed, tender and juicy.
"Tell me, girl, did you make this [Golden Smile] according to the recipe, or did you come up with it yourself?" Granny Zhang asked Akane Kubo Momo seriously.
"I hadn't seen a similar recipe, but after following the teacher, I realized that the concept of "cute" is not only in appearance, but also in smell, taste, and even sound.
I wondered if there was a kind of food that would make you laugh and laugh all the time.
And during this period of study, I finally found a way.
In order to prevent the juice in the bun from leaking out, I used vermicelli to absorb the juice of the diced beef, and the diced beef that was drained of the gravy will become lighter, and at the same time, the hot oil will seep into the bun from the opening, and the inside of the skin of the beef and bun, and the surface of the vermicelli will not be able to escape, and the crispy diced meat will hit the wall everywhere inside the bun, which will make this lovely laugh. Akane Kubo said.
“…… You can learn from me in the future. Granny Zhang said directly.
"Granny Zhang......"
"Girl, do you know that this [Golden Smile] is not a recipe you newly developed, but a very old and almost lost ancient recipe?" Xiao Lao stood up and said.
"What!?" The students were shocked, and Akane Kubo Momo was even more shocked, not even realizing that his favorite Butch had fallen to the ground.
This is a recipe created by Master Xie Lu, a former master pastry chef who later became known as the "King of Pastry".
This recipe was almost lost because of the violent turmoil in the Chinese cuisine world, even if it was the Xie family founded by Master Xie Lu, there was only one incomplete recipe, and more than ten years ago, the person who restored this recipe was Mrs. Zhang. Xiao Lao stood up and explained to Akane Kubo why Granny Zhang's reaction was so violent.
"Huh!?"
"And you, with your own talent and creativity, without knowing it, recreated this ancient recipe, although there are still flaws, the control of the oil temperature is not enough, resulting in the diced beef and the vermicelli drying up a bit, the laughter is intermittent, and the vermicelli does not absorb the gravy enough.
But with your talent and creativity, you've already made the prototype of this dish, or the unfinished product, what does that mean, and do I need to say more? Granny Zhang said to Akane Kubo.
"I ...... I ...... "Akane Kubo Momo is nervous right now, super nervous!"
"Follow me well, you are qualified to hit the highest achievement of pastry chefs." After saying that, he didn't wait for Akane Kubo Momo to answer, and he didn't wait for her to come back to her senses, so he took her away.
