Chapter 2012 Differences in Ingredients
Shredded vegetables originated from Shandong. Watermelons, bananas, sweet potatoes, apples, yams, etc. can be shredded from all kinds of things. If shredded vegetables are the embodiment of the heat of Shandong cuisine, then the skill of pulling is the culmination of the spoon-turning skills of Shandong cuisine.
The evaluation of silver spoons at the Silver Spoon Appraisal Conference mainly focuses on the performance of the chefs in terms of heat and spoon-turning skills. Making shredded vegetables or grilled vegetables are both good choices, Yuan Zhou thought in his heart.
"I wonder if today's competition will directly involve carrots."
Yuan Zhou got up early in the morning and did some exercise first, and then had breakfast before he had time to think about the competition for a while. For Yuan Zhou, it didn't matter what he was competing for, as long as he went all out and didn't make mistakes.
Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou's evaluation of himself is basically "make no mistakes". Technician Cheng and other Yuan Zhou's apprentices will also learn this mantra. From now on, the "no mistakes" spoken by Yuan Zhou and his family will probably be the biggest lie in the chef world.
According to the evaluation conference system, the questions in the first round are public and require chefs to prepare in advance, but the second round is confidential and cannot be revealed until the beginning of the competition. This is also a major feature of the competition, testing the chef's adaptability and peace. Accumulating cooking skills.
It was still early, so Yuanzhou planned to read a book, but the time passed quickly when he did things. By the time Yuanzhou noticed that it was almost time.
"It's time to go and take a look." Yuan Zhou looked at the time and it was already half past nine. It was just past ten o'clock.
Compared to the first day, the road was already very familiar. Yuanzhou walked towards the Shandong Cuisine Association calmly. Compared to Yuanzhou's calmness, some people went there quite early.
"I have to take a good look at Chef Yuan's cooking skills." Gao Fei secretly encouraged him in his heart. He must know where he lost when he lost.
What's more, in terms of heat... Gao Fei thought sadly in his heart.
Bai Subo also came to watch the competition today, mainly to watch Yuan Zhou. He was constantly being praised by his own chef Mo Yuchu for his "Amway". He had never seen Yuan Zhou cooking with his own eyes.
Why does Amway use quotation marks? For example, Bai Subo cooked a dish for Mo Yuchu, and then "the knife skills are too poor, far behind President Yuan, and the taste is too bad."
To be honest, since Mo Yuchu has been in this state after the sword sealing banquet, Bai Subo has not turned black, and he really has a kind and honest character.
"Chef Gao, you're here so early." Bai Subo saw Gao Fei when he came early in the morning, even earlier than him.
"Come and see Chef Yuan." Gao Fei is a serious person and has something to say.
"Chef Yuan's cooking skills are indeed worth learning." Bai Subo said matter-of-factly.
This is because he doesn't know what Gao Fei is thinking, otherwise he will definitely shake his shoulders, "Wake up quickly, just study. If you catch up or something, you won't even have time to fire a rocket."
Bai Subo is a very self-aware person and a very realistic person. He can see the attitude of those seniors who are highly respected to him towards Yuan Zhou, and his posture has always been very upright. After all, it is impossible for one person to be blind. Go blind.
The pinnacle of Asian culinary skills is really not just a boast.
When Yuan Zhou arrived at the venue, almost all the chefs were already in place. He greeted Zhou Shijie and the others and went directly to the high platform.
It's still the same venue as yesterday. There are only two people competing today, so you can choose the stove at will. Chef Qin Hua has already arrived at the stove he used yesterday and started to tidy it up.
Yuanzhou also planned to choose the one he had used yesterday. After all, he was familiar with it. When he passed by Chef Qin Hua, Yuanzhou greeted him very politely: "Chef Qin, good morning."
"Chef Yuan, good morning." Chef Qin Hua was also very considerate, stopped what he was doing and nodded towards Yuan Zhou.
Today’s host is still Xiaoli,
By the time Yuan Zhou stood by the stove and cleaned it again, it was almost time.
"Dear guests, the final showdown of the 10th Silver Spoon Evaluation Conference is about to begin. Are you looking forward to it?" Xiaoli said with a smile.
"expect!"
Even though the chefs are all skilled in their craftsmanship, they are quite energetic. As soon as Xiaoli finished speaking, there was a lot of roaring, which was quite positive.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense and let's enter the final showdown immediately. The topic of this showdown is that two chefs need to prepare a crab roe braised winter melon dish." Xiaoli said simply and neatly.
It's not shredded vegetables, it's grilled vegetables.
If we prepare the same dish this time, the difference will be very obvious. In addition, it is a dish that fully reflects the skill of turning the spoon, and the intention is also very clear.
Why do some chefs make delicious food, and some chefs make unpalatable dishes? But Yuanzhou can reach such a level, which is a series of mastery of spoon turning, heat, knife skills, etc.
"It's interesting to make the right dish, the silver spoon." Yuan Zhou roughly knew what the judges meant when he heard the question.
Qin Hua also acted confidently. After all, he had participated in the competition many times. He stood there with a master's bearing.
"Now I announce the start of this final showdown." Xiaoli stepped aside after announcing that it was no longer her business.
The two of them headed towards the back, intending to choose winter melon and crab. In fact, braised winter melon with crab roe is a very simple dish, and of course it is also a dish that requires a lot of skill. It is not easy to make well, but it is easy to cook it well.
Starting from the selection of ingredients, the competition between the two chefs begins.
The organizing committee of the competition has prepared a lot of ingredients. They have prepared several kinds of winter melons. There are large fruit types and small fruit types. It can be said that you can have whatever you want.
Chef Qin Hua went straight to the big fruit section and chose the large white-shelled winter melon that is often used in Shandong cuisine. It looked quite big and he took it away with a lot of effort.
Yuanzhou stood there and thought about it. Instead of choosing the large fruit type, he chose a small five-leaf fruit type, which looked much more compact, about the size of a cantaloupe.
"The size should be just right." Yuan Zhou patted it lightly before choosing one with a dark green color, which looked pretty good.
After choosing the winter melon, they started to choose crabs. This time the two of them were very consistent. They chose lake crabs. Although the sizes were different, the types were similar.
After everything was ready, the two of them started to take action. Every move was very regular. One person was busy on Yuan Zhou's side, while three people were busy on Qin Hua's side.
"If this dish were you, which melon would you choose?" Gao Fei was a little confused about Yuan Zhou's choice.
"I think Chef Yuan's knife skills are more impressive." Bai Subo said without turning his head.
I saw Yuan Zhou holding the knife in his right hand and holding the winter melon with his left hand. In just a flick, the skin and flesh were separated, revealing the snow-white flesh inside, which made people scream with joy.
Gao Fei first praised: "This swordsmanship, tsk tsk, is really a cheat."
"Does Chef Yuan plan to use Sichuan cuisine?" Chef Wang expressed doubts.
Mainly because the five-leaf winter melon that Yuan Zhou chose is a specialty of Chengdu, so he had such a question.
"I think Chef Yuan must have a deep meaning in choosing this variety." Chef Zhuang said seriously.
"I don't know about this either. Maybe Xiao Yuan is familiar with this variety?" Zhou Shijie said that he couldn't keep up with Yuan Zhou's thinking.
The big boss thinks the problem is different from the rookie. The reasons the judges guessed are actually untenable. Yuanzhou's purpose in choosing Wuye is very simple. He just thinks that its sweet and glutinous taste goes well with crab roe. It's so simple.
