Chapter 330: The Strong Has Its Own Strong Hands (Monthly Ticket)
However, after the judges took the fish balls, Chen Nian still saw a look of surprise on the judges' face. Although he didn't know what fish the other party made, Chen Nian just vaguely heard a pounding sound from the other party, which means that the fish meatballs were made by the other party with his hands.
Seeing the judges chewing there more times than normal fish meatballs, Chen Nian also confirmed his guess in his heart and couldn't help secreting water from his mouth.
"I really want to taste it, I don't know what it tastes."
Soon the fish meatballs were distributed to other guests, one for each of them. Chen Nian just wanted Miaomiao Wu to leave one for himself, and he couldn't leave half for himself to eat.
The dishes made by others were also served one after another. Most people had no problems with the meals, but some people still made some minor mistakes when cooking, which led to the unsatisfactory taste of the dishes.
Soon the last three people were left. Chen Nian looked up at the other two. One of them was the tall and thin man who helped him catch fish. The other party's fish was just ready and was split into more than a dozen servings at this moment.
After the division was finished, they served it, but to Chen Nian's surprise, the other party not only asked the staff to help bring the divided plates to the judges and guests, but also left two more, one for himself and one for the other.
"Thank you." Chen Nian thanked quickly, and then his eyes were attracted by the exquisitely shaped fish meat in front of him.
The surface is golden and looks very attractive. You can smell the rich fragrance on it just by tilting the tip of your nose from afar.
Then Chen Nian picked up the plate and observed it carefully. Under the golden skin, the fish meat was slightly red. The meat was firm and tender, and the skin was smooth like a piece of rough jade.
It looks like jade from an old pit. It looks rough and not very flat on the outside, but after cutting it, the texture inside is better than fine fat.
The portions they tasted were all a small piece of two centimeters square, but the position was similar, so even if there was a certain difference in taste, the difference would not be too big.
Chen Nian put this piece of fish into his mouth. As the upper and lower teeth were gently connected, the crispy layer of fish skin made a slight crackling sound, just like putting a piece of seaweed on it, but its taste was much more delicious than seaweed.
Moreover, only the thin layer of fish skin outside was fryed into this state. The fish meat inside was still extremely tender, and the juice continued to emerge as you chew, giving people the feeling that you were drinking fish soup while eating fish meat.
Moreover, there was a faint smell of wine in the soup, which inspired the umami flavor of fish to the fullest, but as I ate it, Aged frowned because he felt another smell!
Although it is a bit similar to the aroma of wine, you can feel their differences if you carefully distinguish them.
"Did you use fragrant lard?"
Suddenly, a voice came from Chen Nian's ear, and the judges on the stage also discovered the trick of the dish.
Chen Nian immediately realized that the other party actually used fragrant lard!
In fact, most fragrant gravy comes from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Fujian. The raw materials are made by fermenting wheat and glutinous rice with koji.
The wine lees were originally used to make rice wine, but if you want to get the aromatic lees, you need to brew the rice wine. After the remaining wine lees are kept in stock, it can become fragrant lees in more than half a year.
Moreover, there is also alcohol content, but it is more mellow than ordinary rice wine when cooking!
Chen Nian knew this because he heard from his guests when he was in Shanghai. After all, there are many rich people in big cities like Shanghai, so there are naturally places to eat this very time-consuming food.
Even if I haven’t eaten it, I can hear it to increase my knowledge.
But I didn't expect that the tall and thin man actually used these things.
Now Chen Nian feels like a little bare-butt doll in her mouth is swimming staggeringly after dipping a little rice wine with chopsticks.
It was stumbled, and it hit the edge from time to time, then it chuckled twice, and then swam in the other direction.
The fried white fish is really delicious, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh!
Looking at the guests, they also showed a very satisfied look after eating this dish, and the judges also nodded with smiles while discussing each other.
It seems that this is going to give a high score.
Chen Nian guessed in his heart.
He looked down at his pot. His dishes were not finished yet, but they were almost ready. At this time, Chen Nian began to get busy again. He washed the green vegetables that had been prepared, and simply processed them, put them in the pot.
Chen Nian's actions surprised others. Is it a bit too late to put other people's dishes in?
But Chen Nian didn't care about these gazes at all, and he decided to join the dish temporarily.
But just after he added the dishes, the staff suddenly brought him a plate of dishes.
I looked up and found that it was brought to me by another of the last three people just now.
But Chen Nian had never spoken to him before, and he didn't meet him when he took the ingredients.
Do you want to imitate the tall and thin guy just now?
However, since the other party sent one, Chen Nian had no reason to refuse. At worst, he would give them one more at a time.
After raising his head and smiling at the other party with a friendly smile, Chen Nian began to look at another entry that was brought up.
From the outside it looks like crabs and fish.
And if you look at it at first glance, there seems to be nothing special. Crabs are crabs, and fish are fish.
But when Chen Nian picked up the crabs, he realized something was wrong, because the legs of these crabs were actually stuck!
He pulled it down with a light pull...
Then he saw that there seemed to be some glue in the middle connection.
But the other party used this thing in the competition, and it was obvious that these glues were edible, so Chen Nian tasted the connection between the middle and found a faint smell of fish.
But is there such a thing on the fish?
Chen Nian thought about it and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something on the fish called fish glue. This is made of fish fat, which contains rich gelatin, so it is called fish glue, and sometimes it is also called flower glue.
But if you want to achieve such stickiness, Chen Nian guessed that there might be some fish scales in it, and the fish scales can also be melted when cooking.
"It's amazing. I've used such a complicated production process just for this connection!"
Chen Nian couldn't help but admire him for a moment. This alone was enough to be called craftsmanship. Moreover, the other party was definitely from a big restaurant or was filming videos in self-media, otherwise he would never have been able to make such fancy things.
But now the other party is still on the judge's side, so there is no way to ask. So after Chen Nian looked at the inside of the crab. Many crabs had been removed before, so Chen Nian had a complete range of tools.
Pick up the tool and start disassembling it.
After removing the crab's legs and pliers, Chen Nian opened the back shell and used some glue to stick it here.
It is slightly easier to open than normal crabs, but it also has the same feeling of cumulativeness.
Then Chen Nian saw a lot of crab roe and thick crab meat inside.
But at this time Chen Nian was a little confused.
If you just peel off the back shells of the arms and legs and stick them back, is it necessary to be so troublesome?
In other words, there must be something wrong with this!
Then Chen Nian used a small spoon to dig crab roe. He planned to take out the crab roe and crab meat and put it in the crab shell, and then eat it in one bite.
This is how old crabs are usually eaten, because this will be very pleasant. However, due to tool restrictions, it was impossible to disassemble them very carefully.
But just when he first came out the crab roe, he suddenly realized that the crab roe seemed to be different from the crab roe he had seen before...
So he made a little and put it in his mouth.
Then he finally realized that this was not crab roe, it was clearly fish roe!
The other party actually made the fish roe like crab roe!
This is too creative!
Chen Nian finally figured out why it was brought with him a crab and a fish!
Because this crab, except for the outer shell, all the other internal structures were replaced by fish!
Crab roe is made of fish roe, while crab meat is made of fish!
This is true, including those legs!
"It's simply invincible!"
Chen Nian took out all the fish from the crab's body, and the fish from the legs of the pliers were covered with some red film. The other party even simulated this layer.
Put them all in the crab shells, then pour in some crab vinegar that was served with this dish and stir evenly, then dig them up with a spoon and put them in your mouth!
The fish aroma is filled with a faint crab aroma, and the taste and taste are also quite good. However, after all, there is still a certain difference between fish and crab meat, so when you eat it, it still feels a little weird.
It's not that it's not delicious, but it feels a bit inconsistent.
After eating the crab, Chen Nian looked at the small fish next to him. Since the crab was filled with fish meat, there is no need to think about this fish. It must be made of crab meat.
After opening it, Chen Nian realized that what he thought was indeed good. The fish meat was indeed made of crabs, but the fish roe in her belly was made of crab roe. It was exchanged equally.
However, when eating crabs, Chen Nian found that fish glue was used as a bonding connection at the joints. Logically speaking, this fish should have similar surprises.
After reading it back and forth, Chen Nian finally looked at the fish skin. The color of the fish skin made of crab meat was golden yellow. He cut off a small piece of fish with a knife and put it in his mouth and savored it carefully. Sure enough, he tasted the crab roe.
You should know that the piece of fish cut in old age does not have fish roe, which means that the crab roe has been carefully processed by the chef and applied to the fish for coloring.
"There are people outside of people." Chen Nian asked himself that he would definitely not be able to cook such dishes now, because if he wants to do this, he must first prepare the ordinary dishes and then consider this level of innovative dishes.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Nian has not even understood the ingredients thoroughly, so he naturally cannot make such things.
Nowadays, the old age can only make the dishes that have been cooked and some of the dishes from those dishes.
But there is nothing to be discouraged. After all, everyone’s starting point is different, and they have only been doing it for more than half a year at best. Which of them has been doing it for several years?
Almost five minutes later, the aged pot of fresh fish and sheep was finally ready.
The staff helped bring over a dozen tea cups for drinking tea, and then started to serve the soup. After serving the soup, they put some fish and mutton in it. In addition, there were previously processed vegetables, water chestnuts, crab meat and so on.
Make sure you can eat these ingredients in each serving, but the three servings served to the judges must be the best place on the fish.
After all, everyone does this, and it is not to be a congratulatory judges, but after all, the judges are responsible for scoring, so naturally they have to bring the best food over.
Finally it was the turn of Chen Nian to make the dish. The judges and guests had also paid attention to Chen Nian for a while, but later Chen Nian started to make soup on low heat and stopped making any movement, so their eyes moved away.
The judges looked at the small bowl in front of them. The soup inside was milky white and extremely rich. The fragrance emanated from the container, like a life-like rushing into their noses.
"It's really fresh fish and sheep." A judge nodded and said, the first thing he guessed was the dish that Chen Nian wanted to make.
"But this white one seems to be a medicinal herb...what is it?"
"It should be the water chestnut."
"It's actually a water chestnut. I didn't expect it. And the dish on it should be a pilacai, right? I didn't expect that all the ingredients he used were seasonal ingredients. I'm so concerned."
The judges nodded. Previously, chefs used all seasonal ingredients to cook, but the types used were not as many as aged ones. You should know that for a dish, the more types of ingredients you use, the more difficult it is.
Because not only do the ingredients need to be processed, but also consider whether the taste can complement each other. If you blindly pursue the seasonal ingredients and just pile them up randomly regardless of their taste, the dish you cook will definitely fail.
.The dishes made by others are full of color, fragrance and flavor, and there is a certain meaning. If you put a bunch of seasonal ingredients into the pot and stew it in a pot, let alone the color, fragrance and flavor, you have to think of a good meaning from it, and you have to copy it.
