When the two Imperial Chefs entered the kitchen, the atmosphere in the judges' table instantly became relaxed.

"Abstract Subject: Exquisite." One of the judges smiled and said, "The last time I did a food hopper review on this theme was the last time. ”

"Old Zhou, can you change your habit of talking nonsense?" The other judge smiled helplessly and looked at the other three judges, "Lao Li, you should have participated in the Tang Association's several food fight reviews, right?" ”

"Do you think Tang Xie will win the food fight this time?"

Tang Xie became famous among the imperial spirit chefs in Dongxia City, relying on the food bucket.

He has a lot of experience in food fighting, from becoming the Imperial Spirit Chef to the present, he will conduct food fights more than once a week on average, and the winning rate is not low, and many judges of the Dongxia City Royal Spirit Chef Association have dealt with him.

"It's hard to say." The judge surnamed Li twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly, "The theme of the food fights that Tang Xie conducted before is not related to the current theme, and in the few food fights I participated in, the dishes he took out did not quite fit this theme. ”

"Speaking of which..."The judge surnamed Li paused slightly, and looked at the kitchen belonging to Qin Lang on the other side, with a little curiosity, "This Imperial Spirit Chef is a new face. ”

"According to the historical record of the food fight, he fought a food fight and won that food fight...", he looked at the information in his hand, and then looked at the other judges, "Did any of you participate in that food fight?" ”

"I'm involved." Another female judge who didn't speak on the side took the initiative to speak at this moment, "This Imperial Chef's cooking skills are very good. ”

"Oh? Qi judges know him? Several of the other judges cast curious glances.

"He used oxtail parts, which are rarely used, to have a food fight that limited the value of the ingredients." Qi Juan said calmly, "I've tasted the dishes he cooked, and his cooking skills are so good that he doesn't look like a rookie Imperial Spirit Chef. ”

"But..."Qi Judge's voice changed slightly, and the original braised oxtail flashed in his mind, with a somewhat strange look on his face, "This Imperial Spirit Chef named Qin Lang doesn't seem to be cooking dishes that don't quite match the theme. ”

"Then this one will be seen." Lao Li smiled.

"Okay, don't talk too much about the Imperial Chef who participates in the food fight before you taste the dishes." Huang Shu spoke calmly, her gaze swept over the closed doors of the two competitive standard kitchens, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.

I don't know what kind of dishes these two Imperial Chefs will bring today.

…

"There's good news."

In the kitchen, Qin Lang carried a knife like flying on the surface of an orange carving, and opened his mouth without raising his head.

"Gollum?"

Danbao, who was staring at the crab with ginger slices on his belly in the steamer, turned his head to look at Qin Lang, with a little curiosity on his face.

What's the good news?

"This time, we will probably finish the fight before each other."

As he spoke, Qin Lang had already carved the outer skin of the last orange.

He stretched, then plucked the top of the orange that had been detached, and removed the flesh from the inside and placed it in a small bowl, leaving only a small half of the orange juice in the small urn formed by the orange peel.

Qin Lang put the orange top back into the orange urn carved with delicate patterns on the outside, and slowly placed it on the table.

On the table, there are already seven similar orange urns.

And the outer wall of each orange urn is carved with a completely different pattern.

And all this was done in fifteen minutes while the crab was steaming in the steamer on the side.

A large part of the reason why Qin Lang practiced this delicacy last night was to regain this feeling.

After handling the orange urn, Qin Lang opened the steamer on the side, and the sixteen inside the wide steamer had already been steamed, and the bright red crabs exposed to the back shell and claw pincers were exposed in front of his eyes.

With the steaming heat, a rich crab aroma overflowed in the kitchen.

Just smelling the fresh but not fishy crab scent, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

And the egg treasure on the side swallowed silently.

For a moment, the wonderful taste that I felt when I tasted this dish last night seemed to return to its mouth.

Looking at Qin Lang's next move, it couldn't help but hold its breath again.

Facing the sixteen crabs that had already been steamed, Qin Lang took a deep breath, and then put on gloves and quickly took out one from the steamer.

Skillfully cut off the crab legs and claws, take out the crab meat and put it in a small bowl, put the remaining crab shells on another plate, and then open the crab lid to remove the crab roe, crab paste and crab meat.

This is a process where practice makes perfect, and Qin Lang, who has superb cooking skills, is no stranger to this.

In a short time, all 16 crabs in the steamer were dismantled.

A bowl full of spiky crab roe and crab paste and crab meat made the egg treasure who watched the crab removal with relish on the side couldn't help but swallow his saliva again.

At this time yesterday, it couldn't help but go up and eat.

And the reason why this is not the case today is because this is a very important food bucket, and on the other hand, because the egg treasure who has tasted the final taste of the dish once knows:

The crab at this moment is delicious, but it is far from reaching its most delicious moment.

"Egg Baby?"

Qin Lang's call made Danbao quickly come back to his senses.

Seeing the green onion and ginger handed over, a bright look appeared in Danbao's eyes again.

It's time for my egg treasure to show off again!

Look at my freshness!

Call~

At the same time as handing the green onion and ginger to the egg treasure, Qin Lang had already begun to heat the oil.

When the oil temperature is 60%, the green onion and ginger are also processed by the egg treasure and reach the best state.

Cut the green onion and ginger into sections, fry them in hot oil until they turn slightly yellow, then remove them, then change the heat to low and pour in the crab shells left after dismantling.

As the hot oil comes into contact with the crab shell, the hot oil in the pan gradually turns red in the tumbling.

At the same time, the oil fragrance seems to be infused with an amazing crab fragrance.

When the hot oil in the pan has completely turned into a clear orange-red color, the crab oil is ready.

Carefully draining the hot and fragrant crab shells and putting them aside, Qin Lang picked up the crab roe, crab paste and crab meat that had been removed before, and began to fry the crab roe.

Unlike ordinary crab roe, he also needs to add a small amount of orange meat that has been cut out before during the stir-frying process.

At the end of the frying, the rich crab aroma and sweet orange aroma overflow throughout the kitchen, and the crab roe is filled into the eight orange urns prepared earlier.

Rice wine, rice vinegar and water are mixed and poured into the bottom of the steamer, and the orange urn is sent to the steamer.

This is followed by a twenty-minute waiting period.

"Oranges are ripe with yellow, cut off the top, remove the grain, and leave a little liquid. The crab paste flesh is used to cover it, and it is still covered with branches. Put it in a small retort and steam it with wine, vinegar and water. Serve with vinegar and salt. ”

This record comes from the "Shanjia Qing Offering" written by Jinshi Lin Hong during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This dish is called crab stuffed orange.
