Chapter 1264
"Almost." Chiba Riko gave a slight shake, and the dried beef slices came to a new stage. As the protagonist, it will pass through the oven, step on the wire rack, survive the steamer, and emerge from the oil pan. After going through these tedious processes, you can finally go to the examiners' table.
"Drying, baking, roasting, steaming, deep-frying, stir-frying..." Itachi Uchiha, who was sitting on the review bench, rubbed the slight stubble on his chin with interest, "It's really interesting, interesting."
"Um... Sir, do you know what kind of food she is cooking?" the examiner next to him asked in a low voice. Just now he knew that the person talking beside him was actually the famous Uchiha. Itachi was so surprised that he unconsciously used honorifics.
"Well, this kid is making "Dengying Beef". "
""Dengying Beef"? "Faced with this meaningless word, this gourmet, who was born and raised in Japan, was completely confused.
"Haha, you will know later." Uchiha Itachi just said this without spending too much time in detail.
Dengying beef...it is an authentic Sichuan famous food. Because the skill is complicated, even many Sichuan chefs are too lazy to learn it. However, you get what you pay for. Authentic Dengying beef can make wild dogs three miles away. The delicious food comes after the smell.
Except for some minor details, the general movements of the girl in front of him were the same as those he had seen during his travels in China. It seemed that she had spent a lot of hard work.
"Is it pepper?" Yang Ming raised his head and glanced at the spicy smell in his spare time.
Chiba Riko is not good at Chinese cuisine, but now, her surging expressiveness will undoubtedly shine on a stage like Shokuki.
However, Yang Ming failed to feel the pressure.
He is not good at words. He is not like Erina Nakiri, who has a distinguished life experience and a keen sense of taste known as the "God's Tongue". He is not as eloquent and calculating as Etsuya Eizan, nor is he like Riko Chiba or Isshiki. Like Hui, she has a unique cohesion that can tightly surround people around her.
No matter who it was, they all said that someone with a temperament like his was not suitable to come to the stage and was more suitable to do something behind the scenes. But no one questioned whether he was qualified as the son of God and whether he was qualified to represent Yuanyue.
And all this is just because his strength has already surpassed everyone under his name.
Slowly mincing the Berkshire pork produced in Kagoshima into minced meat, Yang Ming carefully planned his next plan.
The dish he plans to make is the classic dish "Swedish meatballs."
As IKEA furniture takes the world by storm, Sweden's national delicacy, Nordic meatballs, has also become popular. This dish, which was originally only seen in restaurants, fast food restaurants, and canteens in Northern Europe, has gradually spread to China and Japan. , Thailand and other places, it has never fallen behind on the European food hot lists in various places.
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is world-famous for the psychological Stockholm Syndrome. Taking this line as the dividing line, the further north you go, the less pork ingredients are contained in the meatballs, and the texture of the meatballs is more solid. But in fact, the pork and the bread crumbs mixed in it have the same effect, both to make the meatballs soft and tender.
This dish, known as "Mom's Meatballs" in Northern Europe, is a not too complicated home-cooked dish, but in Yang Ming's hands, it shines with a different brilliance.
"The ratio of beef to pork, that's it."
“Soak whole wheat bread crumbs into this flavored milk and use them as a binder later, well, that’s about it.”
There are many popular ways to make this dish. Some people think that Swedish meatballs should be served with chopped onions, while others prefer to chop the onions into chunks and fry them separately. Some people think the meatballs should have a thick, dark gravy, while others prefer a thinner gravy.
Shakespeare once said that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers, and the same goes for Swedish meatballs. It is difficult to reconcile the opinions of all, and slight differences are enough to bring about the final differentiation.
What Yang Ming has to do is to carefully study every small difference, understand the reasons for these differences, and then find the best plan bit by bit. Yang Ming, who pursues perfection in everything, has been studying such a simple dish for a full week, taking almost every detail into consideration.
And in the final plan, he was convinced that there was no Swedish meatball more delicious than this meatball in the world.
This is his cooking style, the most perfect method, the most perfect technique, everything is perfect.
When Nakiri Hisagi came to persuade these ten heroes, some of those who agreed did it for profit, and some did it for fun. Yang Ming was the only one who was not moved by Nakiri Hisagi's words from the bottom of his heart.
He sincerely disagreed with Nakiri Hisaku's idea of creating a perfect recipe.
Therefore, he spared no effort in this fight.
"Then, the first thing to be reviewed is Chiba Riko's "Dengkage Beef". "
There were many gourmets in the audience who knew something about Chinese cuisine. When they heard the name, they immediately burst into laughter.
"Wow, Dengying Beef..."
"Is this the dish you have been cooking?"
"Lamp shadow...? What does lamp shadow mean?" In front of the TV, Xingping Soma turned his head and looked at Erina with the same eyes as he looked at the omniscient Tinker Bell.
"Well, if it's a lamp shadow, it's just a shadow puppet show." Erina replied.
Shadow puppet play is a traditional folk art from China. It usually uses silhouettes of figures made of animal boards or cardboard to perform plays. The artists control the shadow puppets behind a white curtain while telling stories in a melodious tune. Folk flavor.
This kind of beef is named after "lantern shadow", which shows that the meat is very thin, like a light shadow of a lamp, and objects can be revealed under the green lamp, just like the curtain in a shadow play.
However, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to explain this knowledge clearly to Japanese friends.
"Oh...is it characterized by lightness and thinness?" Xinghei Soma, who still couldn't understand what shadow puppetry was in the end, captured these two characteristics of the food very sensitively.
"Well, that's right." Erina thought for a moment and nodded.
"If the beef is cut too thin, won't it affect the taste?"
"Otherwise, what do you think all the previous processes are used for?" Erina asked, aren't those various processes just to solve the problem of taste.
