Chapter 1435 Can Bamboo Be Eaten?
In fact, it's not Gabriel's fault. The chicken in a bamboo tube that was served looked ordinary at first. It was just a burnt black and shiny bamboo tube with a big green leaf stuffed at one end, and there was no scent at all.
"What's going on?" Gabriel looked at Zhou Jia who was bringing the food.
"Wait a moment." Zhou Jia said gently, then took out all the dishes on the tray before starting to help unpack them.
The bamboo tube chicken is placed on a green oval plate with a groove in the middle, and these grooves just catch the round bamboo tube to prevent it from rolling.
And in another groove of the plate, there was a green, pointed stick that looked like a short chopstick.
"Just pick this up and gently stir it here." Zhou Jia gestured as he spoke.
"Okay." Gabriel picked up the short stick like a pin and poked it where Zhou Jia said.
With a gentle poke, a gap immediately appeared in the seemingly tight bamboo tube. As the force increased, the gap split into a whole strip. Then Gabrielle gently picked it up, and the bamboo tube was immediately opened.
A whole fat chicken with a shiny brown-red inside and a complete skin was revealed.
Yes, there is a whole chicken inside the bamboo tube. As the lid is officially opened, a smell mixed with the fragrance of bamboo and chicken comes straight to the tip of the nose.
The complete chicken is tightly wrapped in a bamboo tube. The outside is burnt black, but the inside retains the original color of the bamboo wood. A light soup seeps through the bamboo tube, and it glows with the luster of oil beads under the light. Very tempting.
"Oh, it's such a special scent." Gabriel said instantly intoxicated.
"It's just a bit difficult." Gabriel is a chef, but he is really bad at using chopsticks.
So it was a bit confusing to look at the chopsticks on the table and the whole chicken in the bamboo tube.
"You can only watch but not eat. This is simply the greatest torture in the world." Gabriel, who couldn't use chopsticks, frowned in distress. In the end, he couldn't stand the smell and picked up the chopsticks.
As a European, Gabriel's body shape is not to mention. He is 1.8 meters tall and has thick hands. Because he doesn't know how to use chopsticks, when he grabs the chopsticks, it doesn't feel like he is holding chopsticks, but like holding a hand. What a long sword.
Fortunately, he is always a chef. After testing it in his hands twice,
Finally I found a suitable position and headed straight for the bamboo chicken.
Gabriel's chopsticks are naturally different from those of the Chinese. We use the pinching method, but he uses the poking method.
I poked at the chicken breast. The chicken was crispy and tender, and the chopsticks, which were not sharp, penetrated into the meat.
You can clearly see the chopsticks piercing the intact chicken skin, and then entering the soft and tender chicken. Just when Gabriel wanted to pick it up hard, the chicken was separated into a piece directly by Gabriel's chopsticks. Good sized chicken pieces.
"Oh my god, is this all cut up?" Gabriel instantly understood that the whole chicken was not actually a whole chicken.
Not caring about stuffing the chicken into his mouth, Gabriel applied a little force, and the intact chicken in the bamboo tube immediately fell into small pieces. Each piece exuded a rich fragrance, and there were still chicken parts exposed in the chicken. Food in the stomach.
Jade-white magnolia slices, some deliciously fragrant mushrooms, and chicken livers that looked whole but had been sliced.
"Amazing craftsmanship and knife skills." Gabriel said in sincere admiration: "If you didn't try it yourself, how would you know that this is not a whole chicken, but a chicken that has been cut and can be eaten directly."
"As expected of Chef Chu's recommendation." Gabriel looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise, and mentally raised his expectations for Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship again.
In order to avoid being disappointed, Gabriel is used to adjusting his expectations before tasting delicious food. For example, for those snacks that make him unable to move forward, he has no expectations at all, which is why he finds them so surprising and delicious.
The expectations for Yuan Zhou all came from Chu Xiao's explanation, so he initially expected two stars for Yuan Zhou. After all, he didn't think Chinese cuisine could match his taste.
But now he has officially adjusted to the top level of Samsung, looking forward to an ultimate delicious meal.
"Gudong." Gabriel solemnly put down his chopsticks, picked up the water from the welcome set on the table, and drank the water in small sips repeatedly to dilute the taste in his mouth. Finally, he even used the water after the meal to deodorize it. He also ate the candy and then picked up the chopsticks again.
"That's it." After Gabriel felt that there was no peculiar smell in his mouth, he picked up the chopsticks again and stuffed a piece of chicken breast into his mouth.
The chicken breast is connected to a thin layer of brown-red chicken skin, and underneath is tender jade-colored chicken.
Looking closer, he could even see traces of chicken, and Gabriel stuffed it into his mouth.
In an instant, a burst of extreme umami flavor rushed straight into the throat, mixed with the aroma of mushrooms, the freshness of bamboo, and the freshness of the protagonist chicken, and a unique banquet opened in the mouth.
"Well, it's really delicious." Gabriel sighed vaguely.
While chewing, Gabriel was once again surprised by the tenderness of the chicken. Chicken breast is supposed to taste the worst because it has no fat, but the bamboo tube breast meat made by Yuan Zhou tastes incredibly smooth and tender. It has the unique texture of chicken breast, but every bit of chicken is filled with the smooth taste of chicken soup.
The most special thing is the piece of chicken skin connected to the chicken breast. It tastes crispy, tough and has a special texture. It is not greasy at all and has a smell of oil.
"Wonderful taste." As he sighed, Gabriel kept eating with chopsticks.
Even though Gabriel didn't know how to use chopsticks, he seemed to be a master at eating such delicacies. His chopsticks flew up and down, and the chicken in the bamboo tube kept decreasing.
Occasionally when he ate some white jade-like magnolia slices, the crisp, tender and delicious texture made Gabriel exclaim again, and he couldn't stop.
"Delicious, strangely delicious." Gabriel said as he ate.
"I think I finally understand why pandas love to eat bamboo." Gabriel couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, the reason why Gabriel ordered something related to bamboo was really because of the panda. After all, this guy’s full name is Cute Pet. As a chef, Gabriel has long been curious about the taste of bamboo, so he naturally wanted to try it if he had the chance.
So there are three bamboo-related dishes this time.
"It's so delicious, but it's a pity that my country doesn't have it." Gabriel poked the bamboo tube with his chopsticks regretfully.
"I wonder if this is edible." Gabriel looked at the bamboo tube that had been baked into pitch black and thought seriously.
