Chapter 1227
"Like this." Miki Hinata, who was standing next to Yang Ming, stepped forward and demonstrated with chopsticks. "Use the chopsticks to wrap the skin and stuffing, and then wrap the stuffing with the skin, just like this."
Everyone looked at the chopsticks in Miki Hinata's hand, and saw that with his quick movements, a small siomai wrapped with stuffing was formed.
"So that's it." Mizuhara Fuyumi gently inserted her chopsticks into the big universe shaomai in front of her, and an alluring aroma emanated from the gap, "It smells so good..."
She followed suit and gently turned the dough on her hand around the stuffing. A small siomai that looked like a piece of Hinata's hand naturally twisted out. She put the small package-shaped siomai into In her mouth, as soon as she entered her mouth, the siomai hissed directly into her stomach like melted jelly, and the sweet taste spread on her tongue.
"How is it? Is it undercooked inside?" the abbot of Kanagawa said with great confidence.
"No..." The abbot of Hantan Temple had just eaten one, and he was still doubtful. He wrapped another piece in the middle of the Universe Big Shaomai, and pierced the skin. The filling, full of mature flavor, exuded its own delicious taste. "Everything inside is cooked."
"How is that possible!" Abbot Kanagawa turned to look at Yang Ming, trying to find the answer on the latter's face. Unfortunately, Yang Ming's face was full of "I won't tell you that you hit me" expression.
"They used charcoal fire, right?" Mr. Fukuchi Sheng, who had been watching from the side, suddenly said.
Faced with Mr. Fudi Sheng's question, Yang Ming didn't dare to act casually. He nodded, "That's right. Before steaming, I used charcoal fire to roast the roasted wheat. Although the charcoal fire will not produce fire, it can let the heat out. Spread throughout the entire Shaomai!"
"But... where is the diversity reflected in this dish?" After thinking about the problem of charcoal fire, the abbot of Kanagawa raised a new question.
This question happened to be on the minds of several judges.
"Indeed, although you used a unique filling like hoof flower as the base, and added fungus, winter bamboo shoots, and edamame to increase its viscosity, it tastes really good, but I don't think it's Can meet the requirements of the project." Fuyumi Mizuhara also raised the same question.
Standing aside, Miki Hinatako smiled slightly. When she first heard Yang Ming's idea, she had the same idea, but when she started to practice it, she realized that this dish was far from that simple.
Big? Special materials?
What’s even more special is yet to come.
"Hinatako, what did you just say?" Fuyumi Mizuhara's eyes widened slightly, "Hibiscus? What's the consistency?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
Mizuhara Fuyumi looked at the siomai sandwiched between her chopsticks. What she was eating was obviously the forelegs, which had tough meat and exuded infinite umami flavor! The chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, chives and cooking wine used to match it make the spiciness in your mouth more and more intense until you can't finish it.
However, Gan Hinatako said, is tendon used in this?
"That's it...the diversity of this big shaomai is reflected in this way..." The abbot of Hantan Temple did not speak, but walked around the universe big shaomai, choosing several different places to eat. Every time he took a bite, the joy in his eyes grew stronger.
“No wonder it’s called Universe Big Shaomai!”
Seeing the sudden realization of the Hantan Temple abbot, Mr. Fukuchi Mori and Mizuhara Fuyumi also took a bite from different positions of the cosmic shaomai, and they were immediately blessed.
"So that's it!" Both of them understood.
"What's it like?" Seeing them suddenly enlightened, the abbot of Kanagawa wanted to go up and have a taste himself.
"Look here." Mizuhara Fuyumi opened up a little bit of the place where she first ate, "First beat the tough meat of the forelegs, and then heat it. In this way, the freshness of the forelegs itself can be brought out. taste."
"And this piece is the tenderloin." Mizuhara Fuyumi said, "The tenderloin part is also beaten to fully express the smoothness of the fat in the tenderloin."
"The head meat is particularly chewy, the unique stickiness of hoof flowers, the light yet round waist meat..." the abbot of Hantan Temple counted them one by one, but what surprised him the most was this, "different parts The texture of the meat is matched with different vegetables and seasonings, and the taste can be so distinct..."
Now, everyone understands why this dish is called Universe Big Shaomai... That's because this Shaomai seems to contain the energy of all life forms in the entire universe.
"Diners can decide which part they like to eat and how much Shaomai they want." Mr. Fudi Sheng added, "And this is the greatest pleasure of eating dim sum."
"I think this dish was originally designed to be more than just a snack, right?"
No wonder the owner of a food magazine can tell the origin of a dish just by analyzing it...
Yang Ming nodded, "Yes! This dish is one of the most eye-catching main dishes in Chinese cuisine, and it is a special banquet dish."
Seeing that all the judges had almost finished tasting, Mr. Fudi Sheng said: "Okay, everyone has finished tasting! Now, let's start voting!"
"What? I lost? This is impossible!" Abbot Kanagawa's expression seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were full of confusion.
The judges who had just made their votes began to explain the reasons for their votes.
"Although Kanagawa Abbot's rainbow French jelly is almost perfect, Yang Mingjun's cosmic siomai has completely different delicacies contained in different parts. I think this vote should be given to Yang Ming." Mizuhara Fuyumi said. .
"In my opinion, although both dishes are delicious, they both have flaws... As for Yang Ming's dish, I don't think it is in line with my aesthetics, I'm sorry." Hantan Temple pursues exquisite vegetarianism The abbot finally chose to vote for the abbot of Kanagawa.
"The top-notch delicious food may still have minor flaws, but its explosive power covers up all the flaws and makes people completely immersed in its taste. I vote for Yang Ming." Mr. Fudi Sheng, who had been thinking for a long time, said In the end, a precious vote was cast for Yang Ming, which determined the outcome of this Shoji competition.
"Then, I declare that the winner of this halberd fight is Yang Ming."
"Awesome!" Yang Ming cheered and high-fived Miki Hinatako, "Thank you, Mr. Fukuchi Mori! Thank you to all the judges! Thank you, Abbot Kanagawa!"
Yang Ming did not forget to say hello to the abbot of Kanagawa before leaving.
"Humph..." Abbot Kanagawa remained silent. In the end, he couldn't stand Yang Ming's enthusiastic eyes and nodded.
