Chapter 994 The Purpose of the Fourth Palace
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.
When handling cauliflower, you need to be more careful. Tadokoro uses scissors 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 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. 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.
The bottle of white wine vinegar in Tadokoro's hand was the one he had just taken from the condiment area, but he had forgotten to put it back.
"Really?" Tazoe opened her mouth to ask something, but she heard the dissatisfied voice of Shinomiya Kojiro, "The girl with black hair over there! Didn't I tell you not to communicate!"
A girl with black hair? Who?
Tadokoro looked around and found that the eyes around her were staring at her. Then she woke up, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, put down the bottle and ran to the refrigerator to look at her own cooking.
At this time, Yang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone around him has already done enough, so he still needs to hurry up...
When the time was almost up, Tadokoro took out the crisper box from the refrigerator, gently poured the French jelly inside on the chopping board, picked up a kitchen knife, cut out a square piece of French jelly and placed it on the porcelain. On the plate, garnish with special sauce.
"It's really beautiful..."
The French jelly laid out in order according to Shinomiya's recipe is wrapped in green cabbage into a small square box. Starting from the yellow corn shoots at the top, it is continuously divided into layers of different colors, all the way to the cauliflower and okra at the bottom. White and green in emerald color, the entire dish shines like translucent glass under the light.
"Then now... let's show it to the teacher." Tasoko looked at the masterpiece in her hand with satisfaction and walked towards the podium.
"Unqualified."
At this time, Shinomiya Kojiro was not in a good mood. He took a bite of the French jelly made by the boy in front of him and sighed in his heart. How did this kind of thing get around now?
He really wanted to spit out this mouthful of food. Didn't the recipe clearly state that it was enough to boil the vegetables before they were cooked? What's this feeling like chewing dregs in your mouth?
"But...teacher." The boy obviously didn't expect this result, and he panicked, but saw Shinomiya Kojiro wave his hand, "Next!"
The next one was none other than Tadokoro Hui.
"Teacher, please have a taste." Tazoe gently placed the plate in her hand on the table in front of Shinomiya.
not bad……
This was Shinomiya's first impression when he saw Tagokoe's cooking.
Jiuzhen vegetable French jelly, this dish can be regarded as his early creation, and it is certainly relatively simple for him. Although there are many types of vegetables used, making this dish requires only the basic skills of a chef, the blending of flavors and a keen grasp of the appearance of food. Not only during Totsuki's residential training, but also when training new chefs in his own restaurant, he would also use this dish as a test question.
