Chapter 431: Cultural Collision

After commenting, Bai Renzong turned to the other three: "So, what do you think."

"Actually..." Carl Brando held his chin and pondered, "I don't think I have anything to say. This dish... has no disadvantages. Its taste and seasoning are at its peak. It has rich levels and high-end dishes."

“I think,” Emma Berry said gracefully, “It’s a supreme enjoyment. To be honest, I’ve been to Eleven-park and I’m a regular here. But the craftsmanship that Chef Adam now shows far exceeds the dishes I’ve eaten in Eleven-park…”

Speaking of this, Emma Berry's eyes became sharper: "I think you should probably spend more time in the restaurant."

"What can I say?" Adam shrugged. "Being with a group of excellent chefs always arouses my desire to create more, and in the kitchen where all the talented ones... I just want to sleep."

"What a dish that subverts the concept of the cuisine." Yamamoto Yuto smiled after taking a sip of beer. "In fact, the taste of this dish is a bit too heavy, but it's just right to show it in this form. The dish has been finished before you feel heavy. I only remember the crab roe, bread and egg yolks on the tip of my tongue. "

"I think everyone was amazed." Bai Renzong smiled, "The next chef who serves the dishes may be a little stressed."

At this time, Jiro Nakamura picked up his tray, walked out from the stove, and then came to the judges.

Bai Renzong's curiosity was suddenly suffocated: What are the abilities of this young man who is better than Jiangchuan Yousheng?

You know, Jiangchuan Yousheng is undoubtedly the world's top, not to mention that he has so many years of cooking experience, and he will be surpassed by such a young man in his thirties...

"Please use this crab meat cola cake." Jiro Nakamura said lightly.

When Bai Renzong heard the "Cola Cake", he felt a little disappointed, but when the dishes were displayed, it surprised Bai Renzong.

On the plate in front of me was not an ordinary cola cake, but a dish that looked a bit like a hamburger. There were two layers of pastry on the top and bottom, and two layers of snow-white crab meat in the middle, with a layer of yellow crab roe, which were clear and exquisite.

Compared to the very common Japanese cuisine of "Cola Cake", this dish is more like some high-end French cuisine.

"Then come and try it." Bai Renzong said, cutting a small portion and eating it, then trembling.

"This..." Bai Renzong was a little surprised. "This pastry is made by grinding crab shells into powder and mixing it with corn starch. It has a strong umami flavor. The white part below is made by mixing crab meat with mashed potatoes, and the yellow part in the middle is made of mayonnaise and crab roe. Moreover, the crab roe in the middle is raw crab roe. It is just marinated with sake, mirin and lemon juice and stirred with mayonnaise. It is finished."

Although the form of the dishes looks completely unrelated to the Coke cake, there is no doubt that this is a Coke cake, which is just more high-end and is displayed in French cuisine.

"Well, I have to say I regret it a little. The chef's standard is much higher than I thought." Carl Brando sighed, "If this continues, I'm afraid I can't say a word until the end of the show, so I have to take back my previous words..."

As he said that, Carl Brando cleared his throat: "The crab paste made with raw crab roe and mayonnaise will undoubtedly be very fishy, ​​but there is a batter made with crab shells and cornmeal on it, and then the meat paste made with crab meat and potatoes in the middle. These two layers lay the foundation for the crab paste in the middle, so when you taste the crab paste in the middle, there is only an extremely mellow and deliciousness. Every detail of this dish has its own reason, and it is simply... no flaw."

"And, Japanese cuisine emphasizes the most original delicacy of the ingredients." Yamamoto Yuto said, "Using raw ingredients is very common in Japanese cuisine, so although this dish looks like a Western dish, it is authentic Japanese cuisine in terms of the dishes and techniques."

Good guy, some ability... Bai Renzong sighed in his heart.

As the other three judges said, although the method used is quite complicated, this dish is indeed perfect in the form of French cuisine to show the purest Japanese cuisine. It is definitely a successful example of internationalizing Japanese cuisine. It can only be said that Jiro Nakamura is indeed very powerful.

Thinking of this, Bai Renzong began to worry about the next chef who was going to serve.

"Huh, it's done." Chen Jianfeng wiped his sweat and said, then smiled at the judges with his own tray, "I'm sorry for letting everyone wait for a long time. Please use this golden soup crab soup."

On the plate, a whole crab was soaked in the sticky golden soup, but then Chen Jianfeng opened the crab shell and everyone realized that there was a different world inside. The crab meat was taken out separately and arranged in a circle around the crab roe in the middle.

"This is a platter..." Bai Renzong frowned and sighed, "Photographer, come here! Take a closer look! Have you noticed the details? At first glance, this is a complete crab soaked in the golden soup, but it is not. The parts that you think are soaked in the soup are actually the parts with crab meat that are taken out and placed in the crab shell."

"This is really a unique look..." Emma Berry exclaimed, "It looks like a whole crab, but in fact the edible parts have been carefully processed. How... natural and exquisite."

"Its shape is indeed very unique, but a dish depends on the taste." Carl Brando said lightly.

"Ah, it's such a waste. You should eat such a dish with white wine..." Yamamoto sighed with regret, so the program team came forward with great thoughtfulness to pour him a glass of Japanese sake.

"Thanks to the program team for providing me with the 'mineral water'." Yuto Yamamoto smiled a little embarrassedly.

Next, everyone tasted this golden soup crab soup.

Bai Renzong first tasted the golden soup: "The sticky soup is so thick that it is almost chewy that it shows its perfect thickening technique. The soup base is made of crab shells and fish bones, so it does not destroy its umami flavor. The added starch adds to add a thick texture."

Then, Bai Renzong tasted another bite of crab meat and raised his eyebrows: "Well? This crab meat is cooked separately before putting it in. Stew the crab meat with leeks, Shaoxing wine, ginger and pepper together. The crab meat almost melts in the mouth. The combination of Shaoxing wine and leeks adds a particularly strong flavor to the crab meat... In this way, the crab roe is also cooked separately, right?"

Finally, Bai Renzong scooped up a spoonful of crab roe in the middle and ate it, then frowned: "What a strong taste..."

Bai Renzong looked at the camera and explained: "You may think that this dish is similar to the chef Nakamura's technique. The crab shells and crab meat are laid out to make the crab roe softer, but in fact their technique is exactly the opposite!"

Bai Renzong was a little excited when he said this, so he quickly cleared his throat and calmed himself down: "Then, Chef Nakamura's technique is to let you taste the pastry and crab meat paste first, so that your tongue can adapt to the freshness and fishyness of the crabs. In this way, when you eat the raw crab roe in the middle, the strong fishy smell will be suppressed, and you will taste the deliciousness of the crab roe more."

"The cuisine of Chef Chen Jianfeng is just the opposite. He suppressed the fishy and umami flavor of crab shells and crab meat through various seasonings, but the taste is actually still in your mouth, just because there are other seasonings that you can't taste. But when you finally eat crab roe, the accumulated umami flavor finally explodes, extremely strong, even stronger than raw crab roe!"

"Of course, you may think that it must be fishy, ​​right? But in fact it is not. Do you still remember the shredded ginger cut by Chef Chen Jianfeng before? The crab roe was first stewed with eggs, and then added the marinated shredded ginger from the vinegar to perfectly blend the fishy smell of the crab roe. The shredded ginger was so thin that you didn't realize you had eaten shredded ginger."

"I think this is exactly the style of our Chinese cuisine. It is not to show the most original deliciousness of the ingredients through raw food, but to show the strong taste that even exceeds the raw food through cooking and seasoning!"

Speaking of this, Bai Renzong cleared his throat and calmed himself down so that everyone would not feel that his attitude was unfair.

After returning to calm, Bai Renzong smiled and said, "I have to admit that both chefs have shown their country's cooking culture, which is really excellent."

"Indeed, who would have thought that crab roe could be so delicious? Even the sea urchin taste was not so strong. This kind of craft is really amazing..." Emma Berry frowned and fell into deep thought.

"It's hard for me to understand." Carl Brando said distressedly: "The three ingredients are made of three different methods, which will naturally cause a sense of confusion, but why does this dish give people a strong sense of overallness?"

"That's because," Chen Jianfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Bai said something wrong... he can't say it was wrong, it's inaccurate. The crab shell and fish bones do use this soup base, but this 'fish bones' are not ordinary fish bones, but shark fins. Of course, shark fins are derived from small sharks that are artificially cultivated, and are completely legal. Don't worry."

"Ah, so that's it..." Yamamoto Yuto suddenly realized, "Is this the deliciousness of shark fin? It's really...it's so suitable for eating with this glass of 'mineral water'." As he said, he took a sip of wine and smiled: "Ou Yishua!"

This collision between Chinese and Japanese cuisine is really exciting. Bai Renzong didn't know whether to be happy or worried about the two people's performances were very close but extremely high, but the audience was very happy to watch.

At this moment, the barrage had exploded: "Look! This is the Chinese cuisine we are proud of!" "That's right, Michelin knows nothing!" "Those idiots on the D station come and learn from their masters!"
