Chapter 1224
"How about using a more pungent flavor as the dominant one and then combining it?"
"A more pungent smell? Spicy?" Yang Ming quickly thought of a dish, "Like spicy hot pot?"
Although the original intention of Gan Hyugako was not this, as a Chinese, when he heard the pungent smell, Yang Ming almost immediately thought of spicy food, such as hot pot and spicy hot pot.
Spicy hot pot is a fusion of spicy flavors from Sichuan and Chongqing regions. The accompanying dishes are fried or boiled in advance to fully absorb the umami flavor of various meats and side dishes, plus its own numbing, spicy, fresh, and Fragrant and oily, it has a unique taste of spicy but not dry, fresh but not fishy, fragrant in the mouth and long aftertaste.
Thinking about it this way, when ingredients from all over the world are put into one pot, although spiciness is dominant, different ingredients have different flavors, which is indeed consistent with the saying of multi-layered taste.
but……
Yang Ming immediately denied himself: "No, that requires the ingredients to be fresh enough to differentiate the different tastes. And if you want to cover up the staleness of the ingredients, you can only increase the amount of seasoning. This is inconsistent!"
Inui Hinata also turned a corner immediately. If too much seasoning is added to the prepared dishes, it will not meet the multi-layered taste requirements. If too little is added, the freshness of the ingredients cannot be concealed, not to mention that what is being reviewed here is Mr. Fukuchi Sheng, this kind of material who is trying to get by is expected to defeat a senior from Hantan Temple?
Simply whimsical.
"What are we going to do..." Yang Ming didn't think of an idea for a long time, his eyes wandered aimlessly, and he soon arrived at the abbot of Kanagawa.
"Have you not started yet?" Yang Ming's eyes met the sharp gaze of Abbot Kanagawa. Abbot Kanagawa glanced at their progress and smiled disdainfully.
Ignoring Abbot Kanagawa's provocation, Yang Ming looked at the ingredients selected and processed by Abbot Kanagawa. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger.
"Alas..." After looking at it for a while, Yang Ming could only sigh.
"What's wrong?" asked Miki Hinatako on the side, who was still thinking about what they were going to cook.
"Abbot Kanagawa's teacher used at least a dozen kinds of vegetables..." Yang Ming frowned, "It seems to be making vegetable French jelly."
"Vegetable French jelly?" Hinatako was also a little shocked, "With so many inferior ingredients, does he want to make French jelly?"
As mentioned before, the beautiful appearance required by French jelly is based on the ingredients.
If the ingredients are oxidized or damaged, the damage to the French jelly will be extremely great. These materials must be processed before they can be used to make French jelly.
Just for processing an oxidized cauliflower, Hinata was judged to be unqualified by the abbot of Kanagawa because the vinegar used in processing the cauliflower destroyed the original sweetness of the vegetable.
But what now? These ingredients are more damaged than the cauliflower in the morning. They must have been processed. Not only vinegar, but also various seasonings must be added. Is the abbot of Kanagawa going to use such ingredients to make French jelly?
"Let me show you what a real French jelly is." Abbot Kanagawa did not speak, but expressed his opinion with actions.
It's simply...a arrogant attitude that you can't do but I'll show it to you...
What should I do... Yang Ming thought with a grimace, feeling like his head was going to explode.
Inui Hinata was silent next to him. In the afternoon, he and Yang Ming discussed many possibilities. Of course, they also thought about multi-layered dishes, but all their assumptions were based on high-quality ingredients. .
She frowned again and looked at the ingredients prepared on the table. What kind of cooking should be made to cover up the shortcomings of these ingredients and meet the requirements of the project?
The abbot of Kanagawa completely used his hard power to overcome this. As a monk, his long-term immersion in vegetable dishes gave him extraordinary attainments in vegetable dishes. He would use various methods to deal with the stale ingredients. The method covers up the past and ensures that there is no difference in the final taste.
But she and Yang Ming... could never do this. This is a gap in experience and experience that is difficult to make up in a short period of time.
"Calm down and think carefully." Yang Ming simply closed his eyes and started thinking.
Chinese cuisine...Japanese cuisine...French cuisine...
As long as Yang Ming has seen, tasted and understood the dishes here, it is like a giant ship made of plates. Countless plates of exquisitely decorated delicacies are wandering in Yang Ming's mind.
"Not this...not this...not this!" Rounds of white jade plates containing food floated towards Yang Ming, but were knocked away by the young man waving his arms.
"A dish that can cover up the imperfections of the ingredients! A dish that can have a variety of flavors! Where are you!" Yang Ming kept shouting in his heart.
At this moment, he found that the plates in front of him slowly stopped and gradually dispersed to the side, just like the guards surrounding the emperor when he was on patrol.
And a huge black shadow... came slowly from a distance, and the dishes that had not been avoided were all knocked away by it, splashing white fragments all over the ground, like water splashes crushed by a giant ship.
What is this behemoth?
"This... this is..." Yang Ming stared blankly at the black shadow in front of him, watching it emerge bit by bit, and finally remembered.
Just when he was about to call out the name of this dish, he was lightly tapped on the shoulder.
"Yang Ming?" Gan Hinatako, who had been watching Yang Ming for a long time, finally couldn't help but call her back to her soul. What she was greeted with were two big stern eyes, "What's wrong?"
Yang Ming clenched his fist and said: "If you had interrupted me two minutes earlier, I would have burned you today! But fortunately, I saw the appearance of the giant ship hidden in the deep sea."
This kind of unconscious search in the recipe library of one's own brain is really tiring!
"What the hell..." Gan Hinata was confused as he listened to Yang Ming's words, "Giant ship? Deep sea?"
"Stop talking about this, I've already thought of what to do." Yang Ming leaned over gently and whispered his plan.
The boy's hair touched Hinatako's neck, making her feel a little itchy, but what interested her more was the cooking the boy mentioned.
"What do you think?" Yang Ming's eyes were shining like stars, "Isn't it great?"
"It's very interesting." After hearing this, Hyugako thought it was an excellent idea.
