Volume 2 Chapter 51 Boiling Water Tofu
"Master Cheng, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? Your request is a violation of the rules of the fight."
Old man Zhang Zhouxuan shook his head first, and the judges also looked at Cheng Rin in surprise; is also a character on the spectrum of diligent weapons, how could he say such shameless words?
"Master Zhou, judges, Lao Cheng, I know that it is unreasonable, so I will cook the second fight by myself, and Master Zhou only needs to comment.
As long as Master Zhou's comments are true, I will lose; Actually, to put it bluntly, Lao Cheng, I have a very proud self-created dish, which has never been shown before today, and today I can meet a chef like Chef Zhou, and it finally has a chance to be launched."
How is that? Zhou Zhou only needs to comment on this second fight, and it is a new dish created by Cheng Rin that has never been interviewed?
Even the old man Zhang Zhouxuan was aroused by curiosity, and did not continue to object, but looked at Zhouzhou with the judges.
"If Master Cheng asks for this, it's actually not impossible......
Zhou Zhou looked at Cheng Rin, it seems that the "myth on the tip of the tongue" is useful again?
"I don't know what the name of Master Cheng's dish is?"
"Then thank you Master Zhou, my dish is called "Boiling Water Tofu"......
Boiling water tofu?
Everyone thought they had misheard.
It's the first time I've heard of boiled water tofu, but when it comes to boiled water cabbage, it's all too familiar.
Boiling water cabbage is a representative of "non-spicy" in Sichuan cuisine, and it is also a representative work of Sichuan cuisine, and it has been at a state banquet.
This name is not arbitrary, this dish does have a lot to do with boiling water, pay attention to a "boiling water in the early stage, boiling water in the later stage".
What does this mean?
That is to say, when making this dish, the cabbage heart should be steamed with boiling water or steamed, non-fried, non-roasted, not cooked, not fried or fried, it is a rare dish without oil in the early stage, which is called boiling water in the early stage.
Later, when you see "boiling water", it is not really boiling water, but a special refined broth carefully hung by the chef. If this soup is a clear soup, you won't see the slightest bit of oiliness, just like boiling water, so that it can live up to the name of "boiling water cabbage"!
If you think that the place where this dish is good is hanging broth, it is very wrong.
The special refined broth is important, but the treatment of cabbage in the early stage is actually the most effortful, one is steamed, all of which are to make the cabbage initially mature, but there is a subtle difference between this soaking and steaming.
Obviously, Cheng Rin's "boiling water tofu" must have more or less something to do with boiling cabbage, but I don't know what tricks he, the "king of tofu", can conjure?
Zhou Zhou was also interested, and said with a smile: "Listening to the name, you know that this boiling water tofu is not simple... Well, since it's a dish created by Master Cheng and it's never been published, then I won't go into the kitchen, so I'll wait for you in the dining car with the judges, right?"
Cheng Rin nodded: "Then please ask Master Zhou to stay for a while."
-----------------
Zhou Zhou and the others waited in the dining car for nearly an hour, and Niu Yong, who was Tie Hanhan, pushed more than a dozen dishes out of the kitchen with a small cart.
At this time, Niu Yong's eyes when he looked at Zhou Zhou were full of infinite awe.
Can you not be in awe? Just for this boiling water tofu, he doesn't know how many times he has begged the master, and the master refuses to show it, but now he is willing to let this master Zhou comment, Niu Yong is no matter how stupid he is, he knows that the master is all aimed at the master Zhou in front of him. c
"Hehe, the boiling water tofu made by my master is here, Master Zhou, you can taste it......
Not to mention that stupid people also have stupid cleverness, Niu Yong didn't greet anyone, so he smirked at Zhouzhou.
The other judges didn't care, as early as when Niu Yong walked into the dining car, their eyes were already fixed on this "boiling water tofu".
I actually used a glass bowl to serve this dish, which is exquisite, and it is clear at a glance.
The dish of boiling water tofu really looks somewhat similar to boiling water cabbage, and it is very beautiful at first glance.
Zhou Zhou and others are naturally connoisseurs, looking at its color through the glass bowl, only to see that the soup is like transparent boiling water, without any oiliness, and it is contained in the glass bowl, and those few pieces of tofu seem to float in the glass bowl out of thin air!
The soup is transparent, and it is so good!
Others are okay, and they left the kitchen with Zhou Zhou Cui Zhengshan saw this dish, and suddenly his heart "chuckled.....
Tasting this boiling water tofu, real connoisseurs don't need to eat it, just take a few looks at it and you can have an understanding of the chef's level.
Like boiling cabbage, obviously this dish is also particular about the color of the soup and the color of the dish.
If you see a trace of dregs and oiliness, or the soup is yellow, gray, and dark, then you can basically conclude that the chef's level is not enough, and there is no need to eat it at all.
This dish has very high requirements for broth, and Cui Zhengshan knows that although there is spare broth in the kitchen of the dining car, it has not yet reached the level required for a luxury dish such as boiling water cabbage, let alone Cheng Rin's self-created boiling water tofu.
Judging from the time, it was too late for Cheng Rin to prepare the soup temporarily, so he must have remixed the ready-made stock in the kitchen, which is very difficult to test the chef's skills, and even more difficult than re-hanging a pot of stock.
But if you look at the color of the soup in this glass bowl, it has reached the legendary "bright yellow" level!
It's the kind of yellow that covers the color and shines brightly!
It is the best soup stock, and not only is the color bright, but the soup is also very clear.
"Good ingredients, good soup, it's really not simple......
Even the old man Zhang Zhouxuan was in good spirits, and even he had to admit that the method of mixing the soup was very clever.
"It looks really good, let me try it first......
Wu Jiuyu paused for chopsticks, looking a little impatient; Recently, there seems to be a problem with the development of his route.,I'm sorry for the name of "Viper".,There's even a suspicion of gradually becoming a sycophant.。。
"There's nothing wrong with it, the soup looks bright yellow and mellow, but the mouth is very clear! The tofu has a flavor comparable to that of a lake, and the heat is just right, compared to the hand-ground soy milk just now, the flavor of the bean is more intact, I can't fault it!"
Wu Jiuyu praised again and again, and the chopsticks couldn't stop.
The old man and several other judges seemed to have similar opinions as Wu Jiuyu, and they were all eating tofu with their heads bowed, and even drank soup.
Everyone is actually still looking towards Zhouzhou in their hearts, but Cheng Rin's boiling water tofu is really remarkable, and I can't find anything wrong, I'm afraid there are only positive comments left.
"Master Zhou, I would like to hear your comments the most......
Cheng Rin walked out of the kitchen at some point and stood in front of Zhou Zhou; At this moment, for him, Zhouzhou's comments are the most important.
Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded, "Master Cheng is really a good craft...... You asked me to judge this dish, which really made me a little embarrassed.
Because I didn't eat any shortcomings in this boiling water tofu, there was nothing wrong with all aspects of performance......
I understand people very well now, because it's hard to find faults, so they can't give opinions, right?"
Including the old man Zhang Zhouxuan, everyone was stunned when they heard it, even Zhouzhou couldn't eat this dish, what's the problem, is it really fake?
