Chapter 350: Distinctive Style
In fact, after eating the appetizer, you can discover the characteristics of Yang Hua.
The making of sauce is different from Jamie Tira's seasoning, because the sauce itself is part of the dish, it has its own unique taste and can form a layered sense with the main body of the dish.
This distinctive feature can be discovered in just two dishes. It is precisely because of such a distinctive personal style that the other three judges have become more aware of one thing: Jamie Tira does not have such a personal style.
After the appetizer, the soup is next.
Because the appetizer did not use cheese, Yang Hua made French soup.
The bright red soup surface is decorated with cream to create a very gorgeous flower pattern, which gives people the illusion of cappuccino at first glance. The appearance is also very beautiful, very Yang Hua's style.
Beef, tomatoes, carrots, asparagus and eggplant can be seen under the bright red soup, with a stick of parsley on it.
"French tomato and beef brisket soup." Bai Renzong looked at the soup in front of him and said to himself, then looked at Yang Hua with some concern, "Is it really good to use beef brisket in the soup? This way, the main course cannot be made with beef?"
"Don't worry, my best friend!" Yang Hua said with a confident smile, "Don't you understand my abilities?"
"Um..." Bai Renzong shrugged, scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it, and then sighed uncontrollably, "Ah, this taste...the wonderful sourness and the salty taste of beef feel like the most wonderful tomato sauce."
As he said that, Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of vegetables and explained: "The taste of this tomato and beef brisket soup is actually mainly tomatoes, and beef is just an auxiliary. I want to say that this is done well, because it is a 'soup' rather than a 'main dish' after all, and the beef has too many scenes, which will make this dish too overwhelming."
"I agree with Mr. Bai very much." Alan Robbs nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Bai's understanding of French cuisine is really profound, and I admire it. The most wonderful thing about this soup is the choice of primary and secondary. The tomatoes are the main character, and the beef is the supporting role, and the aroma of asparagus, the astringency of eggplant, the sweetness of carrots and the sticky texture provided by the cream on it..."
Alan Robbs closed his hands and smiled, "I want to say that this is more like a sauce in the form of 'soup'. But it also made me realize that a truly excellent sauce is completely enough to be a separate dish."
"Sauce in the form of soup." Sato Ryoto smiled, "This description is so good. Indeed, everything in this soup is served for 'tomato', which is undoubtedly a wonderful tomato sauce."
Bai Renzong smiled slightly, grabbed a piece of bread for side dishes from the side, dipped it in the soup, and then turned to other judges: "Sorry, I know we have a lot of dishes to taste, but I really can't help but want to give it a try..."
As he said that, Bai Renzong ate the bread, then closed his eyes and looked intoxicated.
"Chef Yang Hua, I strongly ask you to use this soup as the store's permanent menu." Bai Renzong said with a smile, "I can eat a whole baguette with this bowl of soup, it is simply amazing."
"Hmph, that's natural. I'm your close friend after all, so of course I know what flavor you like." Yang Hua smiled proudly, throwing a victorious look at Han Jiayi behind him.
Han Jiayi threw him a fierce look and continued to work hard, trying to make her meal come out after Bai Renzong tasted Yang Hua's set meal.
"What can I say? I'm an Italian!" Rossini Salerno laughed. "Although the soup may not be that perfect, it's really great, with this wonderful sour taste that no Italian can reject this tomato biscuit."
Everyone gave unanimous praise, and Yang Hua immediately served his side dishes.
"Oil-sealed salmon..." Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows at the salmon in front of him.
A piece of strip salmon rolled with bacon was square, but there was a layer of white sauce on it and a layer of green sauce on it. Two sauces were used in a "fish" dish, which made Bai Renzong a little worried about the presence of the main dish.
He cut a piece of oil-sealed salmon and tasted it, then suddenly glared: "This rich salmon flavor! The sauce on it is actually a mousse made of salmon meat and cream and put it in a frozen grinder! The sauce on it is made of kiwi, parsley, mint, and coriander seeds, providing the right sweet and sour taste and astringent taste! Delicious!"
As he said that, Bai Renzong took another bite: "This is definitely the best salmon dish I have ever eaten!"
"The taste is undoubtedly full. The salmon is between raw and cooked. The salmon mousse on it provides an extremely delicate and silky texture, and at the same time makes the fresh sweetness of the salmon meat more intense." Alan Robbs nodded with satisfaction.
"Because salmon meat and salmon mousse completely suppress the meaty taste of the bacon, providing only a faint smoky aroma, while the salmon itself is simply seasoned with salt and pepper." Sato Ryoto said, "This is really... what a slim dish. All the details reflect the chef's enthusiasm for the guests to eat delicious dishes."
"Oh? You still know that a little bit." Yang Hua sneered with his arms, "There are still so many normal people in the world."
"The use of this sauce is really amazing." Rossini Salerno murmured with his chin, "Of course, the craftsmanship and creativity are impeccable, but the skills of using this sauce are really amazing..."
Just as everyone was immersed in the deliciousness of the oil-sealed salmon, Yang Hua served his main course. Because he used beef brisket in the soup, he used roast pork for this main course, and five thick roast pork was lined up on the plate.
In terms of visual effect, the pork is a bit like Roy Choi's roast pork, which is the roast pork I used in Cuban sandwiches. You can tell that it is very tender and juicy when you look at the cross-section, but the most attractive thing is the five sauces on these five slices of roast pork.
The colors of the sauce are yellow, white, red, green and brown.
When Bai Renzong thought of Yang Hua's sauce skills, he couldn't help but look forward to this roasted pork.
Bai Renzong took a bite of pork in yellow sauce, then closed his eyes and sighed: "The soft sweetness and delicate texture of pumpkin and corn are just right with the tender and juicy Roy Choi's roast pork."
"The white ones are yam paste and seaweed salt!" Sato Ryoto said excitedly, "The roasted pork itself is full of gravy when it bites. The combination of gravy and sticky yam paste forms a brand new sauce. This wonderful taste and light saltiness are really hard to stop."
“The red one is the sauce made of blood oranges and strawberries,” Alan Robbs explained, “but it only retains the sourness in it, and minimizes the sweetness, which is completely different from the tomato sauce, perfectly alleviates the greasy feeling of Roy Choi’s roast pork, allowing me to continue to eat it.”
"The green one is some kind of Chinese chili and jalapeno," Rossini Salerno said in a breath, "My God, it's so spicy...but this spicy taste is perfectly combined with the roast pork, urging me to continue eating."
"The final brown is a sauce made of chocolate and coffee." Bai Renzong said in surprise, "Sweet, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, five kinds of flavors, perfectly combined with roasted pork. And this dish is more than that simple..."
Bai Renzong pulled out five slices of pork chops: "In order to match each slice of pork with the sauce, each slice of pork has been adjusted slightly in the marinated ingredients, and the positions of the pork used are different! There are pork shoulder, pork ribs, ribs, tenderloin and pork buttocks... This detail is really amazing. It is worthy of being chef Yang Hua, it is so delicate."
"Five kinds of meat, five kinds of sauces, five kinds of flavors, and so perfectly matched..." Sato Ryoto couldn't help but sigh: "Si Guoyi... Chef Yang Hua's skills are amazing."
"Hmph." Yang Hua hugged his arms and enjoyed the praise, but then he came back to his senses and had the last dessert.
So he served his last piece: Lemon Melon Pies.
This pie is mainly made of lemon cream, and a thin layer of pastry is covered with a thick layer of lemon cream. The way to make the pastry is just that, so the key to this dessert is lemon and cream.
Bai Renzong picked up this puff pastry pie and observed it from the side. There were three layers very clearly, the thin puff pastry pie, the golden lemon sauce and the white cream on it. He stuttered and ate it. The strong sourness, with a light salty taste in the sweetness relieved the sweetness of the cream, and also set off the sourness of the lemon.
"We used sea salt to add salty flavor to relieve sweetness and highlight the sourness of lemons." Alan Robbs applauded and smiled: "What a smart way to do it. In fact, we also tasted the addition of sea salt and lemon when drinking agave to highlight the unique fragrance of agave grass. This combination is also a classic combination, which is really a combination of classic and innovation."
In fact, when we arrived here, everyone had more or less discovered the problem of Jamie Tira.
It is precisely because Yang Hua has such a strong personal style that everyone feels that Jamie Tira's personal style is very chaotic. This is also the purpose of Bai Renzong's food matchmaking, allowing everyone to see the true face of Jamie Tira behind it through the perfect seasoning.
Of course, they still have the last one to eat now.
"Then, next..." Bai Renzong turned to Han Jiayi, and his expression was instantly soft, "I'll invite my lovely wife."
