Chapter 1225
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.
"But... there seems to be a lot of ingredients to be processed! I don't know if I can make it in time now." Yang Ming had a headache, why did he encounter this kind of problem every time.
"Heh..." A smile appeared on Miki Hinata's face, "Leave it to me."
Since you are the chef, just trust me for the rest.
Yang Ming clearly read these words from Gan Hinatako's eyes.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
…
Mr. Fudi Sheng, who was standing aside, focused his attention on this competition.
Mr. Fukuchi Mori looked at the flowing movements of the Kanagawa abbot over there, without any pause or gap. His control of time was like a mechanical clock.
"Oh? Has the action started over there?" The abbot of Hantan Temple paid more attention to Yang Ming's group than the other two judges. "I have been thinking about what to cook for so long."
"After all, it is really difficult for these young people to meet our requirements when cooking with these ingredients." Another reviewer said with a smile, obviously not optimistic.
"But their cooperation is quite good." Mr. Fukuchi Sheng said while watching the movements of Yang Ming and Gan Hinatako.
"Dice cucumber." Yang Ming squeezed the iron pot in his hand tightly, scooped up the eggplant in the pot, and quickly poured the ingredients prepared by Hinatako on the right into the pot, taking advantage of the residual heat to save time.
“Is the next serving going to be lettuce or kale?”
"Lettuce, bring me another plate."
"Okay, by the way, your pot should be ready by now."
The tacit understanding between the two people was fully displayed at this moment, and Yang Ming felt it the most obvious. He almost stood there without moving, but the cooking speed was several times faster than him.
"It's really interesting..." Mr. Fudi Sheng looked at the Yang Ming information in his hand, "This tacit understanding seems to have been working together for four or five years."
"But what exactly are they going to do?" The abbot of Hantan Temple looked at the situation at Yang Ming's side attentively. "They have prepared flour... and steaming and baking molds. What kind of food is this?"
"I'm also very curious." Mr. Fudi Sheng was also very interested in this.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, not to mention that Yang Ming and Miki Hinata are infinitely better than the cobblers. With the combined efforts of the two of them, the cooking progress quickly caught up.
"Okay! It's done!" Take the steaming steamer off the fire, and the dish is officially ready!
Yang Ming approached the steamer and felt the steam emanating from the steamer with his face. His face soon turned red, "I never thought there was a steamer here!"
Half of the reason why he chose this dish was because he happened to see the right cooking tools.
"Well..." Miki Hinatako said, "After all, there are some monks in Hantan Temple who have been to China to preach scriptures. As a commonly used cooking tool, it is not surprising to find steamers here."
But it's a bit strange to find such a big one, and I don't know what it was originally used for.
"You said... can we win?" Yang Ming looked at the other side of the room, where Abbot Kanagawa was making the final arrangements.
"Probably..." Miki Hinatako was stared at by a pair of expectant eyes. After holding it in for a long time, she finally held back the word "no".
"I think so too!" Yang Ming said enthusiastically without noticing anything was wrong. He had used all his special skills for this meal.
"Okay, let both sides start finishing!" It was almost time, and Mr. Fudi Sheng issued the last order for this Shoji.
The several judges who were still chatting have already taken their seats, and their relaxed expressions have been put away. At this time, they must show the most professional attitude. Even if it is a private encounter, their professional qualities do not allow them to deal with it casually.
"First of all, let's start with the review of the dishes from the Abbot of Kanagawa." At the signal of Mr. Fukuchi Mori, the Abbot of Kanagawa came over carrying a white porcelain plate with a lid.
"Welcome to try, one of the must-have appetizers - rainbow French jelly." The abbot of Kanagawa gently opened the lid, and a dazzling rainbow flashed past.
Everyone stared at this dish. After a long while, Mizuhara Fuyumi murmured: "It's really hard to bear to touch the knife and fork."
The layer of jelly lightly attached to the surface is crystal clear, while the vegetables wrapped inside have distinct colors and clear stripes, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple. The abbot of Kanagawa created a brilliant rainbow in this order.
On both sides of the French jelly, the azure and orange sauces draw two perfect arcs, surrounding the French jelly in the middle.
Yang Ming shook his head: "There is really a big gap."
If beauty were used to describe the Italian paella he made before, then the 'rainbow jelly' in front of him could only be described as stunning and perfect.
The abbot of Hantan Temple picked up the knife and fork, selected a small piece on the right and cut it off. He was a little confused when faced with the two sauces. Finally, he lightly dipped the orange sauce on the right and put it in his mouth. .
"Potatoes, red grapes, zucchini and other vegetables were mixed into the meat paste to create layers of seven colors, and each layer of vegetables was cooked separately to fully bring out their own deliciousness." The abbot of Hantan Temple paused. , continued, "The orange sauce on the right...is sour orange jelly, right?"
"That's right." Abbot Kanagawa nodded.
"Then the azure sauce on the left is...?" The abbot of Hantan Temple did not touch the French jelly, but chose to taste it directly with the tip of a fork, but was unable to confirm the answer.
"It should be a refreshing vanilla pesto mixed with several kinds of herbs including shiso!" Mr. Fukuchi Mori, who is quite keen on spices, said confidently.
"How about using sour orange and perilla to match French jelly... What an interesting idea." The abbot of Hantan Temple smiled casually after finding the answer.
"The fragrant stir-fried zucchini and vanilla sauce... this combination is really refreshing and delicious!"
"As long as you cut into different parts and add different sauces, the taste will be completely different. The red carrots and tomatoes go well with the lime sauce." Suwon Fuyumi also praised.
