Chapter 380 - Fill you up
Italian food In a formal meal, there are “approximately” four main courses. The first is the “staple food”, which may be common Italian dishes such as pasta and pizza, or may be soups; the second is the “main” “Dish”, which is the highlight of a meal, may be meat dishes, fish dishes or aquatic dishes. The third course is “salad”, usually fruit or ice cream, and the most one is “dessert”. Just like pastries …
The reason why it is said to be “approximately” four is because each part may not have only one. For example, in some more luxurious meals, the “main course” part will have a meat dish and a fish dish.
In addition to the four main courses, there is often an “appetizer” before the start of a meal.
For example, “Jiu Shuang Pin” that the judges just tasted belongs to the category of “appetizers”.
As an appetizer, the portion of “Bullfish and Fish” is very small, with only four pieces of beef and four pieces of fish per plate …
Although the task of the judges is to “tasting”, Carlo is confident in his own cooking. If you do not control the portion, it will be difficult for the judges to carry out the normal judging … You must know that the judges now taste every other hour. “One meal”, although it’s just a tasting, it can’t hold a large amount.
After a careful consideration of the temperature, the cut surface of the knife, and the sauce, the “cooking fish and fish” blended in the taste. After the appetite of the judges was hooked up, Chef Carlo ’s assistant chef, another one The plate with the plate cover only was placed in front of each judge, and then the plate cover was removed.
I saw a small bowl of golden broth under the lid of the plate, and three golden Italian ravioli in the broth …
“Next, please try the first main dish” Italian Lobster Wonton Soup “!” Said chef Carlo.
“Italian ravioli” is a kind of small ravioli made with pasta. The “spaghetti” here is not noodles, but the raw materials that make spaghetti …
The pasta is made of high-gluten flour, added with oil, egg liquid, and made.
Just use egg liquid and noodles, and then how difficult it is to “ramen”. I have mentioned it countless times before, but now I use high-gluten flour, add egg liquid … Even if a small amount of oil is added, it ca n’t be changed. The fact that the plasticity of this golden dough is extremely poor!
Usually at this time, you need special tools, a kind of auxiliary rolling equipment to press into the dough, or slightly sacrifice the taste of the lower skin, dilute some water into it …
But obviously the “All? Blue” side is not as intimate as the Italian cooks. Even this gadget is ready, and Carlo cannot accept it, sacrificing the taste of some ravioli … it might as well not do it!
And Carlo chose to use manual power instead of equipment!
Today, with a variety of auxiliary equipment “invading” the kitchen, Carlo’s basic skills are undoubtedly worthy of his status in the cooking world …
Although it is easier to roll the skin with this kind of noodles … no, it should be said to be “skinned”, which is much easier than pulling into noodles, but it also shows its basic skills.
Of course … in the heart of Chef Carlo, he also hoped that this “kung fu” skill could stop Liu Pengxing’s “imitation”, because this step was prepared by Liu Pengxing before they entered the venue, so Carlo started At that time, I was looking forward to how annoyed Liu Pengxing was when he found that there were no auxiliary equipment for skin rolling!
Coincidentally, when Carlo presented this dish, Liu Pengxing also reconciled the Italian pasta …
Carlo has to admit that Liu Pengxing’s movements are more agile than him!
Carlo didn’t even bother to judge the judges, let them taste it, but looked at Liu Pengxing’s direction …
At this moment, in the shocked eyes of Chef Carlo and the audience, Liu Pengxing simply flattened the golden Italian dough, and then used three fingers as the axis to make the dough rotate!
Under the centrifugal effect, the dough becomes a cake, and then only the thickness of the dough.
It’s faster and more uniform than Carlo’s …. more interesting!
Afterwards, Liu Pengxing’s wrists and fingers flicked at the same time, causing the huge golden face to fly, because the face was thin enough, big enough, and still rotating, the face fell slowly.
And Liu Pengxing is in this gap, holding a narrow-edged kitchen knife with fish in each hand, facing the huge cotton noodles that have fallen. When the noodles fall on the counter, they have been divided into “trimmings” and deductions. Round noodles wrapped in wonton.
The judges also had a feeling at this time that it was the “Italian Lobster Chaos Soup” they were tasting, as if they were making in front of themselves!
Although the foodie’s cooking skills are certainly not as good as those of real cooks, at this moment they have the instinctive feeling that Liu Pengxing is doing, as if this bowl of lobster wonton soup is in front of them!
Of course, whether they are intuitionally accurate or not, it will take a while to know …
Italian lobster ravioli soup, Boston lobster prepared by the side, lobster meat as filling, lobster shell soup, and finally the result of mixing the cooked Italian ravioli with the cooked lobster shell broth!
Shrimp and crab shells contain the umami essence of aquatic dishes, but it is not so easy to cook soup.
Because of the rich umami, there is also a fishy smell …
It’s like “taste seal crab soup”, which is to bring out the umami and fishy smell in the crab shell, paralyzing people’s taste!
When it is used to boil soup, it is usually to ensure that the umami taste is overridden by the fishy taste, and not to use too many other ingredients. At most, add a few flavors of light vegetables and cook together …
Chef Carlo is obviously more greedy for cooking than ordinary cooks. He chose to use the existing ingredients to completely detonate and reconcile the lobster’s umami and fishy taste!
The taste of Xian Chun conquered the taste buds of the judges in an instant. Although they knew that there were still heavy “tasks” behind them, the judges were capricious once … drinking the soup!
Of course, the only thing that makes Carlo think that “the beauty is not enough” is that while the judges are tasting his food, although there is also a short period of ecstasy, the speed of entering the sage mode is obviously too fast! The judges in the second half watched Liu Pengxing while tasting his food …
Although Carlo understood that the judges looked at Pleiades Liu in the final analysis because of curiosity about “his cooking”, but everyone seemed to acquiesce that the young man was able to cook exactly the same thing as him. Carlo felt awkward.
And the most awkward thing is that Chef Carlo also has this intuition!
Next, the assistant chefs of the “Italian Royal Cooking Team” presented the “main course” for the judges …
It looks like a plate of thinly sliced beef with the white-yellow “sauce” on it, which is different from the beef in the initial appetizer “Buffalo Fish”, this time it is cooked beef!
“Sauce” can also be more directly translated as “sauce”, but it is slightly different from the “sauce” common in Chinese cuisine …
“Sauce” refers specifically to the “liquor” that is not fermented, and is a liquid “sauce”, more common tomato sauce and salad dressing, which can not be seen from the appearance, completely crushed to a semi-liquid level “Sauce” belongs to “sauce”.
“Next is the first ‘main course’, Italian veal …” Chef Carlo said absent-mindedly.
At this point, the cooking has been completed, and he has time to think about other things … such as thinking about a **** that is hitting his confidence!
Obviously, Liu Pengxing also knows the sauce on his “Italian veal”. At this time, he is already using a blender to crush part of the tuna …
Italian veal is the cooked beef that Carlo uses the spices found in the game to match perfectly, cut into thin slices and sprinkle with sauce.
And this sauce is made from the most basic egg yolk liquid, with olive oil, sugar, lemon juice, onion juice and tuna fish paste!
Once again, the beef and the tuna meat were completed.
The appraisal of the judges at the beginning of the “Bullfish and Fish Shuangpin” aroused the appetite, which was attenuated after “tasting” the Italian lobster wonton soup. There is also a mellow beef, which gives them a completely different taste and enjoyment, but also makes them relish the appetite after having just tasted the “appetizer”!
Chef Carlo has prepared two “main dishes” for this meal. In addition to the “Italian veal” meat dishes, there is also a “tuna in tomato sauce”.
Under the rich red soup, is a piece of thornless tuna …
Tomatoes are the life of Italian cuisine. The Aldini brothers often use tomato juice in their cooking, and Chef Carlo has brought the best of Italian cuisine to “stew” to the extreme, so that the taste of tomato soup can penetrate. Arrived in the tuna meat.
And when chewing again, the original tuna’s deliciousness will be exuded from the taste of tomato sauce, which can be said to have been “simmered” three flavors …
Afterwards is a flesh ice cream, completely using seasonal fruits provided on the field, as well as milk, sterile egg liquid, nuts … In addition to the water in the ingredients, no extra water is added.
In ice cream, you can also taste a piece of flesh left intentionally.
The last one is an Italian classic dessert … Tiramisu!
Among the ingredients provided by the game, although there are coffee beans, cheese, eggs … but there is no “gillidin” that is essential in making tiramisu, which is a kind of animal bones or fish. The extracted gel.
But chef Carlo also has his own method, which is to simply extract collagen from tuna fish gelatin as a raw material for tiramisu … instead of gelatin, mix it with hot cheese.
Carlo also made some adjustments for the additional fresh smell and other ingredients of tiramisu.
“Reconciliation” was originally Carlo’s expertise. This fish glue version of tiramisu, under Carlo’s conditioning, not only has no sense of harmony, but also has a first-class flavor …
Whether it’s bitter coffee aromas or fish gelatin, they all merge into one at this time.
As the aftertaste of a finished Italian meal, it is also just right.
At the end, the judges also gave a score of 38.98 points.
The total score of the team game is 40 points, 38.98 points have surpassed the Carlo scored 38.92 points, which is the highest score so far!
If it was before, Carlo knew this news, and he would be somewhat proud of himself, and he beat the old opponent of the “Baixing Sanying Team” …
Even if it is only 0.06 points, it is already commendable in their level of cooking.
But now, Carlo Carlo was a little distracted when he heard the news, and he became very indifferent.
Of course, the judges also smiled bitterly at this. They naturally can see that Carlo is not really “indifferent”, but most of the attention now is on the “Germinate team”!
Even though Carlo did n’t admit it himself, the reason why he played in the team game would surpass the old opponents of the “Hundred Stars Three Teams” is partly because of his ability to reconcile the heart of the “deep soup pot”. In the limited spice competition, he played a certain advantage, and the other half was due to Liu Pengxing’s encouragement …
When a cook and an accomplished cook finds out what someone is doing when he imitates himself?
Of course, to force myself to do better, to see how others imitate …
Chef Carlo did not leave immediately after the judging because of Liu Pengxing. Instead, he stood at the exit of the player and looked at the “Germinate team” … to be precise, he looked at Liu Pengxing’s actions!
But without knowing his behavior, Liu Pengxing was relieved.
Liu Pengxing really worried that he would leave immediately after the judging!
Because the “visual heart in the mirror” of super visual reproduction is one-time, if you want to use it all the time, you must copy it from time to time.
After Liu Pengxing awakened “super-aural”, even if the cook is not in the state of cooking, he can “see” the heart of the other party and initiate the super-visual reproduction ability, but after all, the other party must be within the scope of his super-visual and super-audible Only …
If Chef Carlo left, and he was in danger of exhausting his heart later, then it would be embarrassing!
Carlo didn’t know that he had inadvertently helped Liu Pengxing again. At this time, he stood outside the court and felt more intuitively that the young man in front of him exuded the same kitchen spirit as himself!
“Is it the same as my” deep soup pot “?”
“No! How could it be so coincident …”
“His heart should be … a copy?”
Just as Liu Pengxing had just awakened hypervision, the people in the Yuanyue Hotel guessed that at this moment, Carlo also mistakenly thought that Liu Pengxing’s heart was “reproduction”, and did not realize one of his sensory abilities at this time.
Looking at Liu Pengxing’s various kinds, completely reproducing his own cuisine, Carlo’s mood seems to be companion with canines …
Andre, the leader of the “Central Food Team” on the side, because at the beginning, like Dongmei and Suzuhara, they did not pay attention to the dishes presented by Chef Carlo, and they did not have the heart to separate the voices in the audience.
Therefore, when looking at Liu Pengxing, Andrei only felt that Liu Pengxing’s cooking skills were as superb as the rumor, but did not see anything else …
So in Andrei’s heart, while lamenting Liu Pengxing’s solid foundation and superb cooking skills, he was also somewhat disdainful.
On the contrary, he still laughed at Liu Pengxing’s “being proud”, and under the circumstances of being unfavorable, he fell out with other team members.
As for superb skills?
From Andrea’s point of view, the cooking people who really stand on the top of the culinary world have superb skills. The difference between “superb” and “more superb” and “very superb” is not big. It really draws the “inspiration” of the gap!
Of course, they do n’t need inspiration, because they are inspired by the use of shredded thistle …
If Liu Pengxing pays attention to them, they will find that each of them now has a part of the “demon”, just like the four-member group of the central gourmet organ of Yuanyue College.
The so-called “inspiration” refers to the overall inspiration of the recipe, but also refers to the details, every time you wield a knife, every time you control fire … The almost intuitive judgment required!
That’s right, that is the essence …
However, after Pengxing Liu has launched an absolute copy of “Super Vision”, he can temporarily copy the spirit of the other party!
The only defect of the original copy is the strength of the copied kitchen heart, which also depends on Liu Pengxing ’s will. It can be regarded as copied by “super vision”. It is a “model” of the kitchen heart, and it needs to fill its own will … …
But now it is no longer a problem. Liu Pengxing has not used the “heart in the mirror” for a long time. It was also found in the experiment a few days ago that the ability of the “sun” to absorb solar energy not only can use the heart of the sun, but also can play The role of solar panels.
Pour the absorbed energy into the “mold” until it is full!
So how big is the kitchen heart model copied by Liu Pengxing, he can fully use his power …
The only problem that may arise is that “The Heart in the Mirror” is the mirror flower after all, but because Chef Carlo is very cooperative, he stays on the sidelines, and Liu Pengxing’s only worries are gone!
Carlo was a five-person collaboration before, but they had time to wait for each other, and then deducted the time to start a recipe and assign tasks … The real use of “120 minutes” is only about 85 to 90 minutes, including one A small part of the time is spent on the “decoration” step. Carlo also has some time because he is waiting for the result of the shallow processing, so it is not always full speed …
In addition to the first deduction and division of cooking areas, Liu Pengxing used 100% of the time for more than 110 minutes!
In addition to its own efficiency, Liu Pengxing crushed Carlo and also four chefs, so Liu Pengxing, who has been in the “Dragon Dance”, finally completed the plate of all dishes two minutes before six o’clock …
Along with the six o’clock bell, the team’s ceremonial voice rang: “It’s time for the” Germinate team “to cook! Please ask the” Germinate team “to start submitting dishes …”
She also did not know, in the framework of the “Germinate team”, who is the head chef and who is the chef, so the “Germinate team” is used to refer to the entire staff!
Liu Pengxing turned his head to meet the other four eyes, then nodded to each other.
I saw Liu Pengxing go up first, and personally served five sets of “Bullfish and Fish” for the five judges …
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, the judges coughed and asked, “Cough, Liu Pengxing, what is this dish?”
“As you can see … This is” Bullfish and Fish “.”
“…”
What the **** is Niu Shuangpin? Is it a famous dish? Why is this supposed to be the way of “Bullfish and Fish”! Can’t they take individual names?
“Okay, what name doesn’t really matter, let’s taste it first.” Another judge could not help saying.
From the appearance, they even think that the shape of the sauce on the beef slices is exactly the same as that of Carlo’s “Buffalo and Fish”, but the judges still don’t think that Liu Pengxing just looks at it, and Only half of the cooking process can imitate Chef Carlo’s cooking!
Know that Chef Carlo is one of the cooks closest to the Boss of the major cooking organizations …
However, at the next moment of the entrance of “Bullfish and Fish”, the judges finally found that sometimes the instinct of sensibility is more reliable than reason!
It’s exactly the same!
As a first-class gourmet, their recognition of cuisine is undoubtedly extremely accurate …
First-class foodies, even for identical recipes, can be distinguished if they are made by different people.
The most basic, please ask two familiar cooks to use the same recipe to cook, and the difference is the basis for a first-class foodie!
But now … they even have the feeling of going back in time and tasting Chef Carlo’s food!
Temperature, cut surface texture, sauce … all the same!
“Here is the first‘ staple ’of dinner, Italian lobster wonton soup …”
Liu Pengxing said that he put the five plates covered with the plate cover up. After the judges uncovered the plate cover, they found that it was golden soup and golden Italian ravioli …
Well, because Chef Carlo had prepared the smallest servings before, and now it is the same with Liu Pengxing. The two did not add up to a normal serving, so the judges had n’t tasted enough before, and they could n’t help expecting it.
After the entry of Italian ravioli and soup, the judges realized again … exactly the same!
If this is not the “All? Blue” arena, and you have seen Liu Pengxing’s cooking process in person before, the five judges even suspected that they were being tricked … wouldn’t it be Carlo who did it?
Italian veal, tuna in tomato sauce, ice cream, tiramis with fish gelatin …
Less than an hour ago, the dishes the judges had just tasted were repeated again …
Although the judges have not given a comment yet, looking at their expressions, Chef Carlo can see the effect!
It was just a strong hunch before, at this moment … it seems to have become a reality!
“Andre! What are you doing?” Some discordant voices came from the central food team.
Andrea dumbfounded, accidentally used egg yolk as egg white liquid!
Low-level errors …
I can’t help Andrei not thinking about it ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Although he didn’t carefully read the dishes presented by Chef Carlo, at least he heard the name.
After Liu Pengxing submitted two or three dishes, Andre finally realized that the bursts of voices from the audience were not coaxing …
In the conference room on the top floor of the headquarters of the “American Development Association”, before cutting thistle, from the broadcast, I felt bad when I saw Liu Pengxing’s cooking process, and when I saw the judges’ face, I had a cold face until now The “Central Food Team” has another accident and needs to cook a new dish or change the overall recipe.
The latter don’t need to think about it. The people of the “Central Food Team” have no self-judgment ability, which is the result of the possibility that all the test questions will be taught to them.
Looking at the appearance of Yaqi cut thistle, even his confidant Ruishan Zhijin was sitting aside and dared not speak first.
She cut thistle and finally couldn’t help but say: “Okay, come here today … Let’s break up!”
After that, the TV was turned off and the first one went out …
