Chapter 387: Ginger is still old and spicy
During the cooking process, Bai Renzong noticed the two older elders.
Whether it was Zhang Guanghan or Jiangchuan Yousheng, both of them had several large urns in front of them, and they used different techniques to process a variety of ingredients. Although the cooking process of other chefs was also very eye-catching, Bai Renzong felt that these two people must have worked hard this time and planned to set an example for their younger generations.
"It's done." Cai Jia smiled and placed her stew in front of everyone.
But she is the only chef so far who has not prepared any staple food for the judges to pair with stews.
"French bean braised meat..." Bai Renzong also immediately recognized the dish.
This is actually a very smart way to make it. If you can't grasp the viscosity of the stew well, then add some ingredients that can absorb water, such as eggs and beans, and after absorbing excess water, the stew will naturally become more viscous.
"The fragrance is as scent as ever..." Sato Ryoto closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said, "This fragrance is..."
Sato Ryoto looked at Cai Jia, hoping to get an answer, but Cai Jia had no expression on her face and had no intention of answering.
"Funnel." Bai Renzong replied after taking a bite, "that is, dill, which can be judged from the spicy and sweet taste similar to burnt. It is usually used to put it in meat or fish dishes to remove fishy food."
"It's you." Cai Jia laughed when she heard this. Han Jiayi rolled her eyes. Bai Renzong shook his head in confusion: "But this fragrance is too strong. How can we have such a strong fragrance?"
"I use fresh dill to grind it into a sauce, not dried dill to powder," Cai Jia explained. "Dill tastes stronger when it is fresh."
"So that's it..." Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "I am worthy of being Chef Cai Jia, and the use of this spice is really unparalleled."
"But it's not just the spices, but also very well done in all aspects." Alan Robbs replied, "The 'meat' in bean braised meat is usually not in fixed forms, including chicken, lamb, pork, and beef, but this bean braised meat is made with oil-sealed duck and Toulouse sausage. With this strong garlic aroma and strong duck aroma, it can match such a strong dill aroma."
"Really." Rosini Salerno said with a look of approval, "Not everyone dares to use such strong spices. Spices are too strong and will overwhelm the taste of the ingredients. Coriander is a good example."
"That's coriander." Bai Renzong explained to the camera, "It's really smart to use Toulouse sausage and oil-sealed duck to make this bean braised meat, but in fact, these three are just for the service of a certain protagonist, that's this white kidney bean."
As he said that, Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of white kidney beans and ate them, then took a deep breath: "Well... this white kidney bean has been filled with soup. The aroma of dill, the garlic aroma of sausage and the taste of the oil-sealed duck are all integrated into the beans and melted in the mouth. These beans are simply better than meat! No wonder they don't need bread to match..."
In this way, all the young people brought their works, leaving two elders.
Zhang Guanghan has removed all the other jars at this moment and is guarding the last one.
At this time, there were only the last ten minutes left after an hour and a half, and the works of the two have also entered the final stage.
"It's done." Yosuko Ekawa wiped his sweat and then placed a pottery pot in front of everyone. "The name is a special sukiyaki stew, please try it."
"Sukiyaki flavor..." Bai Renzong muttered to himself and opened the lid of the pot.
However, unlike the stew in the previous one, this stew appears to be light and slim.
Of course, the theme is only stew, and there is no regulation on whether to use clear soup or thick soup, but stew is of course rich and delicious. This kind of stew with clear soup and poor water is more like soup than stew.
You can see beef, onion, burdock, spring chrysanthemum, cabbage, tofu and konjac. It is basically a sukiyaki pot. Bai Renzong was a little disappointed at the first time, but he still tasted the soup when he was professional.
"Thick, thick!" Bai Renzong's mind was a little confused by the impact.
The soup that looks extremely clear, I didn’t expect it to have such a strong taste and a sticky taste!
"How did this be done?" Bai Renzong asked in surprise, "It's obvious that the soup is so clear, but the taste is so heavy!"
"It's Rishiri kelp, a specialty of Hokkaido." Sato Ryoto said excitedly, "If you use this Rishiri kelp to cook soup, you will have this sticky texture. It should be the broth made by Rishiri kelp and Shibashi."
"That's right." Yosuko Jiangchuan replied proudly with his head raised, "Let's go ahead, I haven't tasted the essence yet."
Bai Renzong continued to taste the ingredients inside. Although the soup was so thick, the vegetables inside were still sweet and crispy. They were probably treated separately and then added to the pot at the end.
Then he took a bite of tofu, and the tofu soaked in the soup became very special under the sticky taste of Rishiri kelp, and the beef was cooked very soft and rotten. And against the background of this sticky soup, it really felt like it was melting in the mouth.
Once the tongue and palate were sipped, the beef melted with the sticky soup outside.
"Every ingredient is well processed, but the true essence of this stew is indeed this soup." Bai Renzong sighed, "It is this soup that makes all the ingredients have a holistic feeling. Moreover, this soup is definitely not just a taste. It is made of Japanese soy sauce, mirin, sake and chili powder, which also has a very rich flavor, which obviously looks so clear..."
"Siguo 1." Rossini Salerno couldn't help but say a sentence in Japanese, "I really want to eat this bowl of stew with rice, or use this stew to cook noodles with noodles, and it's good to eat it with bread."
"It's still the last step that has not been completed." At this time, Yosuko Jiangchuan handed over the bowl in his hand and "poured it in."
Bai Renzong looked at the bowl and found a bowl of egg liquid that was beaten very evenly.
"Ah, no wonder it is Sukiyaki flavor..." Bai Renzong smiled dryly. In fact, as a Chinese, he was a little resistant to eating raw eggs like this, even if he knew it was a sterile egg. However, out of curiosity, he still poured the egg liquid in.
A magical scene occurred. The egg liquid floated on the surface of the stew and did not blend into the soup. Logically speaking, when this raw egg liquid was poured into a stew of fifty or sixty degrees, it should be heated to a half-cooked state immediately.
"Is it because Rishiri kelp formed a mucosa on the surface of the soup, so it did not come into contact with the high-temperature soup?" Bai Renzong murmured to himself, then couldn't help swallowing, scooped up a spoonful of stew and ate it again.
"Tough, thick!" Bai Renzong was once again shocked by the strong impact. The already sticky soup became more sticky after adding the egg liquid. The egg liquid also added the flavor of egg yolk to the soup, making the flavor of the soup even more intense. In addition, the soup was originally a broth made of Rishiri kelp and kelp, so it would not taste any fishy smell of eggs.
In addition, the egg liquid on top is cool, while the stew below is hot, forming a magical change in temperature.
"It's incredible..." Sato Ryoto sighed, "Ah, I really want to cover this whole bowl of stew with rice."
I have to say that ginger is still the old one. Bai Renzong thought to himself.
This stew can actually form this layering and temperature change in taste at the same time, and can maintain such a rich taste, allowing people to taste the taste and taste of each material, while also feeling that a whole stew is one.
You know, this is something that no one has done before. Because stews would have integrated the taste of all ingredients. However, Ekawa Yusuke used the soup made of Rishiri kelp to create the same taste, while retaining the taste of each ingredients, so that they do not smell from each other. This is really amazing.
After all, it is a dish that has been made for decades than young people. The use of this rare ingredient is really amazing.
At this point, there was only the last person left. Zhang Guanghan calmly placed a casserole in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Please use it."
Bai Renzong opened the lid of the pot and a strong fragrance came to his face.
In the casserole, there is a stew that looks as white as jade, and some vegetables can be seen under the milky white stew.
"Is this the cream? Why didn't I smell the cream?" Alan Robbs asked curiously, scooping up a spoonful of soup, "and it's so sticky?"
"It's milk soup and pony cabbage..." Bai Renzong explained, "At least it looks like pony cabbage now. I only know after trying it specifically. This soup is made of pork claws, pork elbows and pork bones. Because it is rich in collagen, it forms this sticky texture and milky white. However, I think this dish is definitely not that simple, after all, the complicated preparation process of Chef Zhang Guanghan before..."
As he said that, Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of stew and tasted it.
The sticky taste is so silky, without any impurities, it is like drinking liquid chalcedony, which is something that no stew can do before.
And after taking this bite, Bai Renzong realized where so many preparations were done before: this stew looks like milk soup and pineapple, but in fact it is a bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall!
At that time, the expressions of the other three judges were distorted.
"holy-shit..." Alan Robbs exclaimed with his eyes closed, "What a rich soup..."
"Mammia..." Rossini Salerno held the soup bowl in front of him and respected him like a god. "How many ingredients are used in this soup?"
And Sato Ryoto suddenly said: "I understand, is this a famous Chinese cuisine? Buddha jumps over the wall?!"
"It's similar to that one." Zhang Guanghan smiled, "it was just expressed in the form of milk soup and pilacai."
