Chapter 991 There Seems to Be No Solution
It's just... there are so many people competing there, how easy is it for one person to get two copies? When he squeezed out of the crowd, he discovered that the side of a cauliflower had been oxidized, but he didn't notice it when he took it.
When he squeezed into the crowd again, the miserable state of the cauliflower on the table was no different from what Tazoe saw. Helpless, Yang Ming had no choice but to take both of them back together.
When he showed it to Tadokoro just now, based on the angle of Tadokoro's gaze, he probably didn't notice that there was something wrong with his own cauliflower. Otherwise, given Tadokoro's character, he would definitely not have accepted the intact one.
Just...what to do now?
Yang looked at the innocent broccoli on the table, and the yellow-brown dark spots looked particularly dazzling.
"If you use white vinegar to treat it a little first, the dark spot should be able to be treated." Yang Ming thought.
It's just... if you do that...
Yang Ming raised his head and glanced at Shinomiya Kojiro, who was sitting on the sofa with his hands folded on his chest, looking like he was controlling the power of life and death. He really couldn't confirm one thing.
If he did this, it would definitely not be in line with the recipe.
So...will he be kicked out of school?
While Yang Ming was still thinking about a solution, Tian Suohui on the side was still immersed in the joy of the twists and turns.
She had just seen the yellow and black cauliflowers with missing arms and legs, and almost thought they were hopeless!
The oxidized cauliflower she brought back was sitting alone in the corner of the cooking table. Next to it, the vegetables washed with water looked exceptionally bright.
If you use this cauliflower to make French jelly... the dark and light colors overlap each other, and Tadokoro can already imagine how inconsistent the finished product will be.
White asparagus and green asparagus are the easier parts to handle. You only need to cut off the roots and bottom and keep the middle part.
Zucchini is also called white melon. Just looking at its appearance, Tadokoro could not understand that it could be a relative of pumpkin...
Apart from being so thick-skinned, it has nothing in common with pumpkin, okay?
The washed zucchini was a little slippery. Tadokoro carefully cut it in half, removed the seeds, and then cut it into long strips of moderate thickness.
As for the skin of the cucumber, Tadokoro's deft hands quickly peeled it off completely. When cutting into strips, she tried to keep the same length and thickness as the zucchini, so that the subsequent French jelly would be more in line with the aesthetics of French cuisine. .
The tender green okra, which is plump in shape and as straight as a sword, is relatively simple to handle. After scrubbing it clean, cut off the sharp pedicles, then cut off the edges and corners, and evenly apply salt on it before wiping it clean. surface appearance, this can slightly remove some of the gurgling liquid inside the okra and improve the taste.
You need to be more careful when handling cauliflower. Tadokoro uses Harusu to carefully cut off the stems of the cauliflower, and then uses a knife to gently cut the cauliflower into small pieces. In the process, try to keep every piece of the cauliflower. Small pieces of completeness.
"Well, it looks pretty good." Of course, Tadokoro would not make any mistakes when it came to handling vegetables. After the small umbrella-shaped cauliflower was divided and placed on the plate, only the cabbage was left.
For cabbage, Taguo Megumi has special processing skills. First, put the cabbage into the boiled water for a while, and then take it out. The cabbage will become soft and tough. Not only will the leaves become easy to tear off, but it will also be as safe as possible. Completeness of leaves.
The water used in the entire dish was the French clear soup prepared by Shinomiya Kojiro in advance, which made Tadokoro feel a little better about him. You see, he is not that difficult to be with others!
Tadokoro has tasted some clear soup in private. It has a fragrant but not rich taste, and is especially suitable for pairing with vegetable and fruit dishes. Shinomiya Kojiro's accomplishments in French cuisine and vegetable and fruit cuisine are evident.
After all the vegetables are cut, they must be blanched in water, scalded in a pot, and then immediately picked up and placed in ice water. After they cool down, pick them up and drain them completely.
"The next thing is...find a mold and put the cabbage leaves on the bottom layer, the white asparagus on the second layer...the third layer...and add some broth to each layer."
A few months ago, Tadokoro, who knew little about French cuisine, could not skillfully make the French jelly dish quickly even after a lot of supplements. She could only follow the recipe given by Shinomiya step by step.
Put the square box filled with cabbage in the refrigerator, and the entire dish is almost completed. The only thing left is to wait for the vegetables and the clear soup inside to mix and become frozen.
Tadokoro stretched out comfortably and took a look at the situation nearby. The students around her were still nervously handling the ingredients. Although she is much slower than others in finding ingredients, when it comes to processing vegetables, her speed cannot be matched by others.
"Huh? Yang Ming, haven't you finished yet?"
When Tian Suohui saw Yang Ming's side, he was slightly surprised. The two of them had been together as partners for so many cooking classes. Of course she knew the speed of her little friend. Yang Ming started so long before her. To be fair, even if he said that the cooking was done now She wasn't surprised at all.
But now...he is still handling the ingredients?
"Yes, the movement is a little slow." Yang Ming lowered his head, and his long bangs covered his eyes, making it difficult for Tazoe to see what he was thinking.
"That's it..."
Although she still had some doubts in her heart, Tian Suohui did not continue talking. However, she was sharp-eyed and found something on Yang Ming's cooking table that she had never used before.
"This is..." Tadokoro picked it up, looked at it, and said in a questioning tone, "White wine vinegar?"
"It seems like this dish doesn't need this, right?"
Hearing these words, Yang Ming's hand that was cutting vegetables paused, glanced at the white bottle in Tazoe's hand, thought for a moment and said, "I just picked it up by mistake."
His expression... well, his expression had always been like that, and Tadokoro couldn't find anything on his face, so she could only stare at him suspiciously.
In order to remove the dark spots on oxidized cauliflower, Yang Ming used reductive acetic acid to perform a redox reaction. This is what Yang Ming came up with.
The sour taste of ordinary vinegar is too strong, which conflicts with the light and slightly sweet taste of this vegetable jelly. He had to choose white wine vinegar which is transparent and slightly sour. Moreover, black vinegar will also pollute the cool color. I hope Can make up for it a little bit.
