Reborn – Super Chef

Greek fried fish is the basic dish in Greek cuisine, and it is one of the most Greek-style dishes. The first oil needed to make Greek fried fish is olive oil, which occupies a very large proportion in Greek cuisine.

There are many types of olive oil, which can basically include extra virgin olive oil (Extra-Virgin), pure olive oil (Pure-Olive-Oil), olive oil (Olive-Oil), olive pomace oil (Olive-Pomace-Oil) , light olive oil (Extra-Light) and several types of olive kernel oil, among which extra virgin olive oil and olive oil are more common.

In addition, among the two, extra virgin olive oil can be said to be the tallest among olive oils. This oil is squeezed out at room temperature. It has a bright golden color and low free fatty acid content. It is suitable for direct consumption. There are many other special aromas, but after the aftertaste, there is a grassy astringency and a light sour taste. Using this oil to make fried fish can make the taste of fried fish twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, spices such as rosemary, saffron, and thyme are indispensable to Greek cuisine, and these spices can be used to create a charming and delicious taste.

In addition, to make Greek fried fish, you need to use side dishes such as onions and tomatoes. Come together to form the most Greek-style fried fish.

The cooking competition between Maria Callas and Tian Xiaodu will begin soon.

With a proud and confident smile on her face, the fiery Maria quickly prepared the ingredients in her hands. The fish she chose was tuna, and she sliced ​​the most delicious fins of the tuna into slices with a kitchen knife. The thin slices are neatly arranged on the plate, then the onion and tomato are diced, and all kinds of spices are also prepared.

Pick up a pan on the stove, add olive oil, then put the diced onion into the pan and fry until soft, then add tomatoes and various spices, cover and simmer for a minute. Then add a spoonful of sugar—this process seems ordinary, but Ye Chui, who was standing by and watching the battle, could feel it. Maria Callis did every step very skillfully, and it was natural. The control of the time is even more delicate, and the difference from the most delicious and suitable time for the food to be cooked will never be more than one second.

This is a perception that only a good chef can have.

Originally, Maria Callis had a coquettish temperament all over her body, but when she started cooking, her whole body seemed to have taken on a new look, and she began to devote herself wholeheartedly to the dishes in front of her.

The side dish in the pan is done. These side dishes are placed on the side of the plate, the pan is carefully cleaned and refilled with olive oil, and the thinly sliced ​​tuna fillets are placed in the pan to start frying the fish.

This step requires special control of the heat. It is not an easy task to fry the tuna evenly and thoroughly. At this time, olives are needed to enhance the flavor. When the fish fillets are fried until they are half-ripe , Cover the pot and simmer for about seven minutes on low heat.

Finally, sprinkle the fine powder of various spices on the fish fillet, and it can be served on the plate at this time.

Serve on a plate with the previous side dish, served with warm raffia, and there is an indispensable step at the end as a shiraz dish. That is to sprinkle a thin layer of black pepper on top of the dish, and then serve it with a slice of bread, and a plate of Greek fried fish full of Greek flavor is completed.

It took about half an hour before and after.

At this moment, Tian Xiaodu's pan-fried yellow croaker has also been finished.

Pan-fried yellow croaker is a very simple fried fish dish.

Yellow croaker is stone head fish. It is a very common fish in China. It is so small that diners can eat most of it in one bite. The recipe of this dish is extremely simple. Fresh yellow croaker must first clean the internal organs and fish scales , and even a piece of fish bone - this step depends on superb knife skills. It is very difficult to peel off the backbone of the fish without damaging Xiaoyu's body shape, but for Tian Xiaodu's current knife skills, there is no problem at all, then add salt and mix well. Marinate for ten minutes.

Put oil in the pan - use the best peanut oil. Peanut oil can be said to be one of the favorite oils used by Chinese people.

While the oil is heating, put the marinated yellow croaker on a thin layer of roux. This roux is not ordinary flour, but some special condiments and spices are added. This roux The formula with spices in it belongs to Ye Chui's original secret recipe. Tian Xiaodu is a kind of spice seasoning made completely according to Ye Chui's method. This seasoning can make the fried fish more intense and charming.

The yellow croaker wrapped in flour paste fell into the oil pan, making a sound of "Zizizi...", followed by a burst of aroma wafting around. The small fish only needs to be fried for a few minutes to be fully cooked. After frying until golden brown on both sides, Tian Xiaodu puts the fried yellow croaker on a plate covered with oil-absorbing paper. This is to reduce the oil in the fried fish and remove the greasy taste.

After most of the oil on the surface of the yellow croaker has been absorbed, place the yellow croaker on a plate and garnish with some parsley, onion and tomato.

Do not over-handle these side dishes, just add a few drops of old vinegar.

A plate of pan-fried yellow croaker is finished here.

Tian Xiaodu wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the plate in his hand, and came to the three judges together with Maria Callis next to him.

Han Yuyan, An Xiaoxiao, Lin Wei, Wang Shiyu and the others who stood watching were worried. They had all eaten the fried yellow croaker made by Tian Xiaodu. Du made this kind of snack, but they think it's delicious is one thing, but whether it can impress the three judges is another matter-in any case, the three judges seem to have a better impression of Maria Callas , and Maria's Greek fried fish, judging from the appearance, seems to be more compelling...

"Brother, is it a wrong choice to make this pan-fried yellow croaker?" Han Yuyan couldn't help but ask, "There is a big difference between the taste of yellow croaker and tuna, and the difference in cooking methods , Eldest brother may be a little nervous this time...is it Master?"

Ye Chui’s expression was quite calm. It was Tian Xiaodu’s suggestion to make pan-fried yellow croaker at the beginning, and he didn’t change his original intention at this time, and there was not much worry on his face: “The texture of the fish meat is different, but it doesn’t mean the taste of the dish is different. There is no way to compare it. The best way to cook the fried yellow croaker dish is to fry it. After the yellow croaker is fried and then mixed with the secret recipe seasoning I gave him, the taste may not be inferior to the flavor of Greek fried fish. Well, there is still an 80% chance of winning between Xiao Du and that Maria in this match."

Tian Xiaodu is good at cooking seafood, but he is not good at making tuna. It is impossible to be equal to Maria in terms of ingredients, but fortunately, his pan-fried yellow croaker has reached a very delicious level, which can definitely make up for the lack of ingredients. insufficient.

"80% chance of winning?" When they heard Ye Chui's conjecture, the others were a little surprised. Jim suddenly couldn't help but asked, "What's the matter with the 20% chance of failure?"

Ye Chui pointed to the three judges, and said seriously: "Those three judges look like perverts at first glance, Maria's hot dress may convince the three judges..."

Everyone else: "..."

"Your companion is very powerful." At this time, a soft female voice suddenly rang in Ye Chui's ear, which made Ye Chui and others stunned. The nine-point beauty who appeared on the beach with Karas, she watched the three judges who had begun to taste the two delicacies, and said indifferently.

"Your companion is also good, but she is too eager for quick success. It is not suitable to use tuna in Greek cooking. The flesh of tuna is too fine. It is suitable for grilling and stewing, but not for frying. In order to make her dishes more delicious, she gave up on the The most perfect choice of ingredients, this makes her lose a lot of points." Ye Chui said to the nine-point beauty in blunt English.

A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the nine-point beauty. She obviously didn't expect Ye Chui to see it so deeply. She looked at Ye Chui with bright eyes: "Mr. Ye Chui, I am looking forward to meeting you in the final."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Ye Chui said with a smile, "But... I don't know who you are yet?"

"My name is Elliott." Jiufen beauty left this sentence, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay and watch the game?" Ye Chui asked a little strangely.

"No, I already know the result."

After saying this, Elliott left everyone's sight.

"She is confident enough in her vision." Dong Qian muttered.

"Damn it!" An Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed, and hurriedly dug out the competition form, and checked it carefully.

Ye Chui asked strangely: "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

"Master..." An Xiaoxiao raised her head with a bitter face, pointed to a name on the form and said, "This Elliott belongs to my group, and if there are no accidents, my first The opponent in the second game is her."

Ye Chui couldn't help but frowned, and patted An Xiaoxiao's shoulder after a while: "It seems that your luck is very bad... This Elliott's ability may be very powerful."

"It must be amazing." An Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "Pretending to be so tall, can you not be amazing..."

other people:"……"

And while Ye Chui was talking in a low voice, the evaluation of the two dishes from the judges' seat over there had already come out——

"I think Chef Tian's pan-fried yellow croaker is even better!"

"I thought the dish would be greasy, but it tasted different and delicious."

"The side dishes prepared by Chef Tian are also very tasty. After all, it is very unique to combine with yellow croaker. I like it very much, so I choose Chef Tian's dishes to win."

The three judges all chose Tian Xiaodu.

In this culinary competition, Tian Xiaodu won! (~^~)
