Chapter 90 The Changed Recipe (13, please recommend, please collect!)

"Don't look at me, it takes at least 25 minutes to complete the processing of the two main ingredients, even if I have seen Teacher Zhao's technique, and it will take at least 15 minutes to imitate it, even if it is shortened by special practice. It's hard to scale back."

Si Yingshi, known as the white knight of the dining table, although he doesn't have much confidence in other things, but he has absolute confidence in cooking.

If he says he can't do it, he really can't.

and

"Can't even special practice exceed it?"

The current second seat at Totsuki Academy, the fiery red-haired wild beauty Gendan Kobayashi showed a strange color.

She has observed Si Yingshi more than others, if he said so, then the gap is not only in the understanding of ingredients, this is a complete crushing of basic skills!

After all, these recipes designed by Zhao Youqian today must have been conceived temporarily even if they have the original original shape. From the conception to the processing of the two main ingredients of a dish, it takes less than 20 minutes in total. It's only been ten minutes. Such a speed can only be described as the basic skill surpassing their comprehension.

Everyone present, even the careless Nakiri Erina could understand the meaning behind Kobayashi Rindou's words.

It can't be surpassed in special practice, which only shows that Zhao Youqian's basic skills have far surpassed those of their students, but this is expected.

Even Si Yingshi has no experience of making quasi-special dishes, but Zhao Youqian has already made several different types of quasi-special dishes.

"Just like that, the chance of him passing is very low!"

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, the "alchemist" Ruishan Zhijin, who is the ninth seat, also looked at Zhao Yougan's way of explaining while processing the ingredients, thinking that as long as he can control the business, he can use cooking as a tool, completely incomprehensible Zhao Youqian, whose culinary skills have already surpassed their level, why did he choose to deal with the assessment like this.

"Is it just for a profound teaching?"

Hearing Ezuya Ruishan's words, Nakiri Erina showed a sneer.

"You underestimate him too much. From the beginning to now, he has never failed!"

There was a trace of strong confidence in her eyes that even Erina herself couldn't understand, and she really did what she said in her heart, and she didn't feel that Zhao Youqian had the possibility of failure.

"The difficulty has been enhanced by Mr. Zhao himself. If it's just cooking without careful explanation, then the taste of the dishes can still have a sense of mysterious expectation and impact."

"But since he chose to explain, he must destroy this expectation and impact. Unless the taste can be truly perfect and fit the examination questions, the chances of passing."

Si Yingshi shook his head. He understands the difficulty of this assessment better than outsiders, because he has passed the exam for an eight-star chef, but the question was too tricky and he failed. How many times more difficult is it again?

The Shijie observation room fell silent because of the chief's words, but everyone's eyes were still fixed on Zhao Youqian's movements. It was an opportunity to see the chefs close to the top level cook and hear them impart their experience. Even they are rare.

I don't know when the resistance to the young mentor of the same age gradually turned into admiration.

Put the mutton in the water to remove the blood. The soft-shelled turtle is also processed and cut into eight pieces, marinated with ginger and scallion cooking wine and set aside.

Zhao Youqian picked up several other materials, first cut open the fresh bamboo shoots with a knife, and then cut off the old part of the outer layer, leaving only the white and tender heart of the bamboo shoots inside.

Then cut the bamboo shoots into slices with a sharp knife and blanch them in boiling water.

"The bamboo shoots are processed in different ways in different seasons. If it is winter bamboo shoots, you don't need to do this step, but it is already early summer, and a lot of oxalic acid has accumulated inside the bamboo shoots. problems, and excessive oxalic acid is not good for the human body.”

Zhao Youqian said while blanching the water, until the boiling water was full of a pungent oxalic acid smell, then he fished out all the bamboo shoots and chilled them in ice water.

After finishing the bamboo shoots, he picked up the chicken again, just like what he did in the competition before, but it was a little different. This time, he didn't remove the bones in the chicken, but kept hitting them with two wooden sticks to make the bones collapse. , but it would not break apart, and soon the chicken became a chicken patty under his hands.

"this way?"

Nakiri Senzaemon showed a hint of surprise. He had seen Zhao Youqian handle the Kyoto cockfight, and he had a fresh memory of this technique, and many judges present had also seen the video of that game.

"He seems to have changed his ways?"

"that chicken"

Fengjian Xuezhi's eyes flashed brightly, and she noticed that although the type of chicken Zhao Youqian used was not a Kyoto fighting cock, it was also a good breed. It was a Yangjiang chicken from Yaozhou and Guangdong Province. This kind of chicken mainly eats corn and is famous for its hairiness. Yellow, yellow feet, yellow skin, even oil and bones are yellow.

With a strong fresh and sweet taste, it is one of the four famous chickens in Guangdong Province.

"Yangjiang chicken is really good, but he is quite courageous to change the recipe he has already made on the spot!"

De Fenglei meant something.

And Zhao Youqian's method is really different from the past. After loosening the chicken and the chicken bones, the bone chopping knife came on the stage, followed the gaps in the chicken bones, and quickly chopped the chicken into small pieces the size of a thumb. And they all deliberately brought chicken bones.

Then put the cut chicken pieces into the pot, add cooking wine, green onion, ginger and pepper water, salt, light soy sauce, white pepper, and egg whites and beat vigorously.

Stir in one direction until the chicken eats all the water and egg whites into the meat, and a layer of meaty paste is formed on the outside, then put in dry potato starch to keep the chicken moisture, and add Add some cooked oil so that the chicken can slide away quickly after being put into the pan.

It can be said that after this step, another dish made by Zhao You is almost finished.

At this time, he was free to continue processing the steamed sheep with turtles. First, he blanched the lamb chops to remove the remaining bloody foam, then cut them into three centimeters, and then took out a casserole with a pile of scallions on the bottom.

Finally, put in lamb chops, cooking wine, old ginger, sand ginger, galangal, three kinds of ginger as spices, with pepper, aniseed, star anise, fragrant leaves, angelica dahurica, put in water and simmer.

After the casserole was boiled, a little dark soy sauce, rock sugar, and oyster sauce were added for seasoning.

The cooking of the soft-shelled turtle is even simpler. Use lard oil in a pan, add green onion, ginger, star anise, dried chili, bay leaf, cook in soy sauce and rock sugar, then stir-fry the marinated soft-shelled turtle pieces, and finally add a Tanhuadiao wine, this is the rice wine in the turtle steamed sheep to burn the old turtle.

The two main ingredients are half-cooked separately, and then combined and fired together to combine two extremely delicious dishes. This is the true meaning of steamed sheep with turtles.

After the two dishes were cooked, Zhao Youqian started to process the third dish.

It was also the judge present, Jiu Chongluyuan had seen that soup before!
