Chapter 379: Trap
This time the popularity star did surprise Bai Renzong a little, and also made Han Jiayi very angry.
Originally, Bai Renzong had already made this girl believe that this world was beautiful, but the result of this popular star finally proved that this world was superficial, and everyone judged people by their appearance.
Of course, not all viewers are like this. Many people are dissatisfied with this result and complain about the barrage of yellow in mind, but people cannot change the world after all, they can only change themselves.
Therefore, when the second episode of the program was filmed, the atmosphere on the program became a bit subtle.
Cai Jia is still the same as before, dressed very sexy, but her face obviously has a look of a winner.
But Han Jiayi finally didn't make up for her to dress up a little more coquettishly, but came to the show in a simple and pure outfit just like usual.
Based on Bai Renzong's understanding of her, this means "I can defeat you even if I don't rely on my appearance, just using cooking skills."
However, except for the two of them, others don’t seem to care so much about this popular star. After all, the votes of other people are either similar or don’t care about such votes at all.
"Okay, then welcome everyone to the second phase of the food pairing." Bai Renzong started the warm-up scene. "Today's theme is pizza. I know that not every chef is good at making pizza, but everyone has prepared for a week and must have found their own answers, right? Everyone has an hour and a half, starting from... now."
As soon as the words were finished, the chefs rushed into the kitchen and began to look for materials.
There are two traps in this theme "pizza". The first is a chef like Zhang Guanghan.
As an intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Shandong cuisine, I believe I have never been exposed to Western food, especially pizza.
But this is also Bai Renzong's purpose. As an excellent chef, it is worthwhile to have a certain ability to adapt, not to mention that there is still one week to prepare? Even if you learn it temporarily, you should learn to make pizza, which is not difficult to cook, but the key is whether you can give a satisfactory answer.
So this theme may be difficult for a chef like Zhang Guanghan, but this is the same for Yosuke Eigen. The other party’s cooking is mainly Kaiseki and he has never been exposed to pizza.
How to make a dish that has both its own national culture and pizza is the difficulty these two people need to consider.
The second trap is that Rossini Salerno is an Italian.
What Italians hate the most is giving pineapples on pizza. This is the second trap of this show. If you step on this minefield, you will probably get a very low score from Rossini Salerno.
Taking advantage of this moment, Bai Renzong started chatting with Rossini Salerno.
"Does Italians really hate pineapple pizza so much?" Bai Renzong asked curiously.
"Actually, it's okay," Rosini Salerno smiled. "It's not as exaggerated as in the video. At most, they just throw pizza in your face and scold you a few words, and they won't rise to the level of cultural insults."
"I think this is already exaggerated." Bai Renzong smiled bitterly.
Rosini Salerno asked back: "So, Mr. Bai, what do you think of strawberry mapo tofu?"
"It's simply a cult." Bai Renzong said coldly, "I should have performed an exorcist ritual for that inventor."
"Actually, I've eaten it." Zuo Teng Ryoto replied immediately, "It was surprisingly pretty good, a bit like sweet and sour flavored tofu."
"God, just seeing the strawberry, I lost my appetite. It was like putting a blackheaded nose into tofu. How could you get your mouth?" Alan Robbs rolled his eyes.
The four judges on the stage laughed together, while the chefs were still busy with their own work.
Because after a week of consideration, everyone has prepared it very well. The dough has been prepared in advance because it needs to ferment, so the aroma of cheese has begun to spread.
"As the birthplace of pizza in Italy, can Mr. Salerno introduce to us what a good pizza looks like?" Bai Renzong turned to Rosini Salerno and asked.
The other party hugged his arms and smiled: "Actually it's very simple. Pizza is just three points, dough, pizza sauce and the ingredients on it. You must knead the dough more. The gluten can stretch and pull out the film; and pizza sauce, depending on different types of pizza, uses different ingredients; finally, the ingredients on it are not easy to cook, so you have to deal with it separately..."
Rosini Salerno introduced that the first pizza was made there, and the first person to make it was Zhang Guanghan.
"Please use it." Zhang Guanghan smiled and placed the pizza in front of everyone.
This is a leek and egg pizza, but looking closely, there seems to be some silver crumbs on it.
"This is... a cake?" Bai Renzong said in surprise, "Chicks, eggs and shrimps, this is a cake!"
"Anyway, let's try it first." Alan Robbs said, picking up a pizza and taking a bite.
The crust below is undoubtedly indeed the crust of pizza, while the crust is made of cornmeal.
"This crust is really..." Rossini Salerno sighed, "Such fluffy and soft crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's like marshmallows when you take a bite. This kneading method is amazing. To be honest, this is the first time I have had such a soft pizza crust."
"This cheese..." Zuoto Ryoto savored it carefully, "The combination with leeks and eggs is really wonderful, especially the small shrimps on it, which provide a crispy texture and a special fragrance to the pizza. But..."
Speaking of this, Zuo Teng Ryoto frowned: "It's not just that simple, there are some other fragrances here."
"It's wild leek flowers." Bai Renzong explained, "This pizza sauce adds wild leek flowers, then pizza grass and onions. The taste of wild leek flowers is actually much stronger than that of leeks, so they are usually ground into sauce, but using it here makes people feel like they have a leek with a particularly strong leek flavor. In addition, a layer of half-cooked egg liquid is drizzled on the surface of the pizza, which is the kind of egg yolk in the soft-boiled egg, which provides a sticky texture and increases the flavor of the egg yolk."
"Double leeks and egg yolks?" Allen Robbs sighed, "It's so delicious... leeks are a kind of vegetable that combines spices, ingredients and a whole body. It's really perfect to make pizza."
"The key is this style." Bai Renzong closed his hands and smiled, "It is indeed a pizza full of Chinese cuisine."
Originally, Bai Renzong was a little worried that Master Zhang Guanghan would fall out of the theme this time, but now it seems that he is really an unnecessary worry.
The flavor of this leek and egg pizza is extremely strong. Originally, the flavor of leek and egg is easily suppressed by cheese, but through the combination of double eggs and leeks, the triple impact of leek, egg and cheese forms a wonderful balance. The supporting characters in this drama are the pizza crust, spices and shrimps.
"I didn't expect that leeks, eggs, pizza can be so delicious..." Bai Renzong sighed secretly.
However, as if it was a tit-for-tat, Jiangchuan Yousheng then served his own pizza.
"Natto pizza, please use it." Yosuko Yoshinori put the tray in front of everyone.
"Nato, Natto Pizza..." Bai Renzong twitched, not knowing what expression to use, because a very "special" smell came to his nose, which made him feel a little nauseous.
Natto itself is a fermentation product, so it is a bit like stinky tofu, but the cheese in the pizza is very fragrant. When the two are mixed, they are simply amazing.
But in addition to natto, you can also see some powdered cheese and some seaweed crumbs on the pizza, which can be said to be very distinctive.
As a judge, Bai Renzong had to force himself to taste it.
"Hmm? It's so delicious..." Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows and said, "This flavor is really special! It's so fragrant!"
Natto itself has a salty and sweet taste. Because it is a fermented product, the amino acid tastes particularly strong, which is the same as stinky tofu.
With the contrast of cheese and seaweed, aside from the special odor, the taste of this pizza is really delicious, and its flavor is not worse than that of Zhang Guanghan's leek and egg pizza.
"The most special thing about this pizza is that it does not give mozzarella cheese." Bai Renzong frowned, "Well, everyone knows that in pizza, the task of mozzarella cheese is to provide taste and fragrance, because this cheese is the kind of cheese that will be brushed after heating. Natto in this pizza replaces mozzarella cheese, so in the end, some cheese powder is sprinkled on it for titian."
Zuoto Ryoto nodded excitedly: "Yes, the properties of natto itself are a bit similar to mozzarella cheese. They can be brushed and have a unique flavor and a sweet and salty taste. These are very similar to mozzarella cheese. The fragrance may not be acceptable to people in some countries... but I think its deliciousness is enough to make up for all this!"
"I want to say, it's not bad. Although the smell is a bit pungent, the flavor is indeed very mellow." Rossini Salerno shrugged, as if he could accept it as long as he didn't put the pineapple on the pizza.
This is also a pizza full of R-paper's special culture. In Bai Renzong's opinion, it is also the correct answer.
However, Bai Renzong felt that in this pizza, these two people might not get such high scores, because these two people were actually bound by their own labels and had to forcefully add special culture to the pizza so that they could not play freely.
