Chapter 1674 Chicken Delicacies From 4 Countries

"Chef Yuan, hello President Zhang and Mr. Fujiwara, I will not let you down today. I have prepared a very special delicacy."

"It's really troublesome for Chef Yuan, Mr. Fujiwara, and President Zhang."

“Hopefully I can gain guidance from Chef Yuan, as Chef Yuan and I have a lot in common.”

"Three chefs, thank you for your hard work."

The four contestants greeted each other separately. In fact, many things can be seen from the way of greeting. The first is the title. There is still a big difference between "chef", "sir" and "president". Of course, this is different from "Jia Yuan" It also has something to do with the fact that it cannot be translated into English.

There are also four contestants whose personalities are clearly revealed. Sucha said that the biggest thing they have in common is that they are handsome and speak arrogantly. They really have many marks on themselves.

On the other hand, Hidetoshi Oishi and Ke Sen are both relatively modest. Dupont, who is tall and thin, directly presents the special delicacies and must first raise the sense of expectation.

The three judges greeted them, and they were not allowed to talk much at the beginning of the competition. The four contestants went to their respective areas to familiarize themselves with the kitchen utensils.

Originally, for the sake of fairness, it was decided to set up the four kitchens in the east, west, north and south, with the judges' seats and the media in the middle. Yuanzhou thought about it, and he would have to turn around to observe the four people, so he gave up this method.

There is enough distance between the four cooking stations so that they will not interfere with each other. Reporters from all countries are interviewing the players from their own countries. As for those who do not have players reaching the finals, they have to follow others. There are the most reporters on Hidetoshi Oishi's side.

After all, the most famous players in this session in Asia are Oishi Xiujie, Ruan Yimin and Alan Modi. The latter two have not even made it to the top ten, and they were all killed by a poisonous granny.

"Chef Yuan and President Zhang, I'm curious. Among the four young people, who do you like the most?" After a moment of silence, Fujiwara Iemoto spoke again.

Yuanzhou thought for a while and replied: "I am more optimistic about Dashi and Ke Sen."

Hearing Oishi Hidetoshi's name, Fujiwara Iemoto smiled on his face, and then looked at Zhang Yan.

"The four contestants all have their own advantages. Oishi Xiujie's knife skills and plate presentation, Dupont combines Filipino and French cuisine very well, and Sucha is proficient in the four major Thai cuisines with varied seasonings, and Corson is deeply Get the true inheritance from his father." Zhang Yan said.

Yes, this answer is equivalent to no answer.

Qin Kaili, Wan Li and others have entered the final preparation stage and invited reporters and media to return to their seats. When he was free, Yuanzhou also asked the system if the main task had been completed, just like last time it was done quietly. There is one more, but the progress is still (19/20), which is a bit uncomfortable.

Yes, this mission is the master mission. It has been stuck at the last position since the All Cow Banquet.

I don’t know when the last master who admires Yuan Zhou will be.

Ten minutes later, everything was ready.

“Next we invite the president of the Green Chefs Association, the chairman of the Chinese Federation of Famous Chefs, the director of the Chinese Kitchen Federation, the honorary vice president of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, the honorary vice president of the Yunnan Cuisine Association, the special consultant of the Jiangsu Cuisine Association, and the honorary chef welfare guarantee association. Vice Chairman-Yuan Zhou, will select the final topic for us for the first International Young Chef Exchange Conference." Qin Kaili read it in one breath and almost died.

Not to mention other things, Qin Kaili and others have been studying for a long time how to choose the title on Yuan Zhou's head. They said that it would not be able to reflect Yuan Zhou's power, and it would be inappropriate not to think about it in this situation. It would be inappropriate to think about it too much. It feels too watery, and people who don’t know it will think you are talking about Guankou.

Videos of the finals were required to be saved, so Wan Li decided to add all the titles that he had not thought of in the later stage.

There is no way, Yuanzhou also wants to keep a low profile, but his strength does not allow it. On the other hand, the current Chinese chef world has been waiting for a "dominant" chef for too long.

The staff presented a tray with three envelopes on it. Yuanzhou picked the middle envelope. He didn't like to be mysterious, so he opened it and said directly: "The theme of the final is chicken."

After drawing, Yuan Zhou returned to the judges' table.

The next step is to introduce the three judges. Since Yuan Zhou introduced them just now, it will be simple this time.

"From selecting ingredients to finishing the food, it took the four of us chefs a total of three hours."

"After three hours, unfinished food will be invalid."

"Players please pay attention to the time."

The rules are very simple. Qin Kaili retreated to the backstage after explaining the rules. Today's stage belongs to the chefs.

There are many dishes in various countries that use chicken as an ingredient. In addition, the four of them had prepared it before, so they quickly determined their goal.

After Qin Kaili finished explaining the rules, the countdown started immediately. At the same time, the staff present also delivered a tablet to the four chefs. The ready-made space was not large, and the optional ingredients could not be displayed naturally, so the ingredients were outlined on the tablet. .

Within ten minutes after sketching, all the ingredients must be ready. To be able to do this, the people of the Green Kitchen Club have made great efforts.

"Three hours does not mean cooking one dish. To be precise, it means one main dish, three side dishes, and four dishes. There are no helpers, and you need to handle the ingredients yourself. It is a difficulty for the players in terms of time." Zhang Yan said. say.

It takes three hours, the camera is always facing, and it is impossible to remain silent all the time, so some explanations are still needed, and this is not the first time for Zhang Yan and Fujiwara to be judges, so they are familiar with it.

"On normal days, the hotel's kitchen can serve four dishes in an hour, but that's with a helper, and this is a competition. It's definitely not easy to consider the presentation and all aspects." Fujiwara Iemoto also answered at the right time: "But considering this is the final, it's understandable."

Yuanzhou didn't say anything. What is a kitchen assistant? Time is tight. If it were him, it would be one hour.

"Fujiwara Iemoto knows Japanese food very well. What do you think Dashi will cook as a main course?" Zhang Yan asked.

"There are many chicken-related dishes in Japanese food, but considering that Hidetoshi's hometown is Fukuoka, and it is in such an important competition, he is most likely to come up with Fukuoka chicken hot pot." Fujiwara answered, and then he also asked casually What will Ke Sen do if Zhang Yan is killed?

"Ke Sen has dabbled in Sichuan cuisine, but what he is best at is Guizhou cuisine, which relies on mountains and rivers to eat. Guizhou cuisine is especially good at making game meat, and Guizhou cuisine has seventeen feasts: beef feast, mutton feast, snake feast, etc. It just so happens that the chicken feast is one of the seventeen feasts." As the president of Sichuan Cuisine, Zhang Yan is quite rich.

"But Guizhou cuisine has hundreds of variations. I think Ke Sen will make a chicken feast, but the specific changes are still unclear." Zhang Yan concluded.

Fujiwara Iemoto and Zhang Yan, one analyzed Oishi Hidetoshi, and the other analyzed Corson, Sucha and Dupont were both pitiful. In fact, it was not that they favored one over the other, but that they really didn’t understand Thai and Filipino cuisine that well. deep.

Although Zhang Yan and Fujiwara had done their homework before coming, they really didn't know what Sucha and Dupont were doing for a while.

Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of Thai dishes: coconut chicken soup, green curry chicken, salad chicken, lemon cashew chicken, etc.

"Here are the ingredients that the four contestants have declared in advance and have been reviewed and approved by the judging panel." Qin Kaili held up a list.

At the same time, all the ingredients and seasonings selected on the tablet were displayed on the large screen behind the judges' seat, making it easier for reporters to take pictures.

"Contestant Oishi Hidetoshi: a handful of Fukuoka shallots, a handful of Fukuoka chives, and two kilograms of golden bud rice."

"Contestant Sucha: Three Thai lemons, small bird peppers, some Thai mangoes, and some lemongrass."

"Dupont contestant: a few each of Saba banana, Feimang, and Philippine pineapple."

"Contestant Ke Sen: How many ginger flowers are there?"

Being able to bring your own ingredients after declaration was arranged by Yuan Zhou, because food is so strange. Sometimes local ingredients are needed to achieve the taste, so in order to allow the players to show their strength, With this rule.

The restriction is that you can only bring ingredients, but seasonings or special sauces are not allowed. Think about it if a chef of Yuan Zhou's level carefully prepares a sauce for delicious food, is there any need to compare?

Of course, that is just an exaggeration. After all, Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills are not available so far. Yes, there is no such thing.

In comparison, Corson is the least. Your province is also close to Sichuan Province, so all the ingredients you want can be provided here. Dupont did not plan to declare any ingredients at first, because Filipino cuisine is influenced by Chinese and Western cuisines. There are many influences, and Dupont is a fusion of French and Filipino cuisine.

But when Dupont learned that Sucha had shipped mangoes from Thailand, he couldn't sit still and declared a bunch of fruits. In his opinion, my aura couldn't be lost.

"I brought red onions and chives from Fukuoka, and the seasoning I chose included citrus vinegar. I thought it was right. What Hidetoshi Oishi is going to do is Fukuoka chicken hot pot. This dish is basically out of Fukuoka in other places in Japan." You can’t eat it anywhere, it’s an original dish from the Fukuoka area and has a history of more than 100 years.” Fujiwara Iemoto said.

"Kinya rice was rated as the best rice in the world in 2016. It can be said to be the pride of Japan. Hidetoshi Oishi brought it with great determination."

As soon as Fujiwara Iemoto finished speaking, he discovered the flaw in his words and immediately corrected it: "Of course it is not as good as the rice used in Chef Yuan's shop. The golden bud rice is compared with most ordinary rice in the world."

Fujiwara actually wanted to show off just now, but suddenly he thought that Yuan Zhou was next to him, and Fujiwara had tasted the taste of the God of Cooking Xiaodian rice.

Yuan Zhou didn't say anything, because Japan is indeed the world leader in high-end meat, fruits, and vegetables, and the domestic food problem has only been solved in recent years. The total shortage of food has been solved. That is to say, we know that the output ranks first in the world, but every year Also import.

After all, what the country considers is not only whether there is enough to eat, but also a series of issues such as food security and food storage.

Generally speaking, the needs are different. Japan has taken the high-end food route from the beginning, so it has carefully cultivated it. However, the domestic population base is huge, so the problem of quantity must be solved first.

While talking, all the required ingredients have been prepared and handed over to the contestants by the staff. Not only that, there is a staff next to each cooking table. If you have any needs, you can make them at any time, such as requests for kitchen utensils in the middle. wait.

The first thing Sucha, Keson, Dupont, and Oishi Xiujie did was to process the chicken. The chicken was a whole eviscerated chicken. After all, it was impossible for the contestants to kill the chicken on the spot, with chicken feathers all over the floor. A rooster crows, that’s really out of style.

How big to cut the whole chicken is up to the contestants according to their own needs.

"Fujiwara Iemoto's analysis is correct, and my analysis is also correct. Looking at the selected ingredients, Ke Sen chose to make a chicken feast." Zhang Yan said: "As for Guizhou cuisine, Chef Yuan actually knows more."

Zhang Yan directly handed over the topic to Yuan Zhou.

"Ke Sen's dish is indeed from the chicken banquet, and it is the most famous dish among the Guizhou cuisine chicken banquets." Yuanzhou first confirmed Zhang Yan's statement, and then took a closer look at what Ke Sen was going to do. Dishes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately noticed the size of the chicken that Ke Sen had cut. The more he looked at it, the more he said, "That's right."

"Is it the Xifeng Yanglang Chicken, which is known as the best chicken in the world?" Fujiwara Iemoto, who knows Chinese cuisine very well, reacted instantly.

Yuan Zhou nodded: "That's right."

"If I understand correctly, the famous spicy chicken in Sichuan cuisine is improved from Xifeng Yanglang chicken." Fujiwara Iemoto said.

"Fujiwara Iemoto is truly worthy of being the Japanese who knows Chinese cuisine best. That's right." Yuanzhou nodded and continued to comment: "Sucha brought little bird peppers and Thai lemons, and the delicacy he chose should be lemon cashew nuts. Chicken, and Dupont has mango, pineapple and banana, which I think is the more distinctive adobo.”

After casually reviewing Dupont and Sucha, Yuanzhou did not reward Thai or Filipino food, but he had seen too many things in the past two years and had some understanding of the cuisines of these two countries.

Adobo is not the name of a dish. To be precise, it is a Filipino cooking technique. To explain it in a familiar way to Chinese people, it is - Northeastern stew.

That's right, the only difference between adobo and daran stew is that more ingredients are added during stew. Common ones include bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns, while more powerful Filipino chefs will add fruits to enhance the flavor.

The core taste of Filipino cuisine is a combination of sweet, sour and salty, and the stew method is the most direct and best way to reflect these three flavors. Dupont's choice is completely understandable.

Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Iemoto are just not sure, but they don't know anything at all, so after listening to Yuan Zhou's explanation, they can understand by analogy.

After all, one is the president of Sichuan Cuisine and the other is the chairman of the Japan Federation of Celebrity Chefs. If you want to go global, you must be familiar with the world.

The judges understood it, but it did not mean that the media and guests at the scene understood it, so they paused and Zhang Yan and Fujiwara explained it.

Time passed slowly, and the result was exactly as Yuan Zhou analyzed. Sucha chose lemon cashew chicken, and Dupont chose adobo.
