Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"What is A Xing going to do? Even if he won't get burned, but...doesn't need to use such a hot pot?"

"Indeed, how do you use that? It's far higher than the oil temperature during cooking, right?"

"Although Chinese cuisine takes the mastery of'fire' as one of the cores, but... it's not that the hotter the better!"

Alice and others couldn't help but sweat for Liu Subaru.

On the contrary, Erina was the most calm at this time and explained: "Usually the iron pot will appear dark red when it is about 600 degrees, orange-red when it is about 800, and orange-yellow when it is above 900. Even bright yellow... Look at the color, the iron pot should be at 8,900 degrees."

"Yes, in a semi-enclosed space, charcoal can burn up to a thousand degrees. This iron pot has been stuffed in the furnace, and it is not surprising that it reaches 800 degrees! But usually when the skill of'frying' is used, Even the so-called "stir-fry" requires a temperature not exceeding 250 degrees, and the boiling point of most edible oils is only more than 200 degrees..." said Liu Maoyuan, who is also familiar with "fried".

Alice frowned even more, "It's no longer the boiling point. Now that any kind of cooking oil is added to this pot, it will definitely reach the ignition point instantly!"

Indeed, if the oil is boiled in the pot, it will have the effect of restraining the temperature of the pot from exceeding its boiling point, but now the empty pot has been burned to 8,900 degrees, and then the oil is added. Let the oil be ignited.

Of course, it also means that if the food is in contact, it will be directly carbonized...

"Miss Erina, do you see anything?" Scarlett asked suspiciously.

She found that Erina seemed to be in no rush from the beginning...

"I can't think of what he is going to do, but he is in the control of the heat... No, is it not always surprising in any cooking skills? I think he must have his own plan! And even if The temperature of the pot reaches 8,900 degrees, which does not mean that the ingredients will also reach 8,900 degrees." Erina seems to be purely confident in Liu Subaru.

Erina's "confident" tone made Liu Subaruwon couldn't help but look at her more.

At this moment, Liu Subaru had already started, and he was actually holding the red-hot iron pan in one hand and the frying spatula in the other. At the same time, he put a big bowl of pepper and other spices. The juice was poured into the pot!

In the iron pan that instantly burned red, it seemed as if there was a ball of flame, the fire was particularly eye-catching... I didn't know that Liu Subaru had made a big fireball technique!

Deji also looked over in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Liu Subaru was doing.

I saw Liu Subaru use a frying spatula, and after a few quick fiddles in the flame, he immediately waved the frying spatula again, and "rolled" the cooked and sliced ​​yak meat into the pot...

After that, Liu Maoxing started to move faster, and the stir-fried shovel kept stirring in the pot, but because of the flame, other people could not see much.

Only less than a minute later, Liu Subaru shoveled the bracken cut into sections and added it to the pot, then raised the pot vigorously...

The original fire was slightly smaller, and Lao Gao suddenly flew again, and the ingredients in the pot were also thrown up.

However, Liu Subaru was not in a hurry, first put down the iron pan that had basically faded the red color, and then took out the plate from the side, just to catch the "fried bracken fried back to the pot yak beef" that was thrown up into a ball!

At this time, the voice of "It's duel time" also rang from the judges' bench...

Yes, fried dishes are naturally delicious only when they are eaten hot.

At the same time, Pleiades Liu is also confident, this "fried bracken and twice-cooked yak beef" will definitely attract the attention of the judges in the first time!

Although Deji has also cooked the roasted whole beef properly with a variety of sauces and dry ingredients, the judges have already chosen to come first to Liu Subaru... Most of them are thanks to the "fried bracken fried twice-cooked yak beef" The final eye-catching performance!

This will "explosive" fire,

It was the "Big Boiled Twice-Boiled Pork" made by "Liu Subaru Star" in the first competition with Asia Magazine over a hundred years ago with "Flame Roasted Suckling Pig"!

"Dabang twice-cooked pork" and "flame-roasted suckling pig" are both the ultimate cooking, but the symbolic meaning is completely opposite.

"Flame Roasted Suckling Pig" is to stuff the suckling pig into the whole cow, and then put the whole cow on the boat in the "fire sea" for roasting. The cow is burnt, and the suckling pig is not only in the right heat, but also inherited The flavor of beef symbolizes how to use high fire to achieve the effect of "slow fire".

The "Big Explosive Twisted Pork" is to heat a large iron pan in a semi-airtight condition with a low fire to the point of redness, and then "stir-fry" in one breath!It belongs to the accumulation and explosion of small fires to create the effect of "wuhuo"...

At the same time, "Flame Roasted Suckling Pig" is more inclined to "open and close" in terms of technique, because its fault tolerance rate is extremely high. After being thrown into the sea of ​​fire, "Liu Subaru Star" ignored it.

For example, during the autumn trials, the meticulous "flame roast suckling pig" carried out by Pleiades Liu now is a "striving for perfection".

The "Big Bang Twice Cooked Pork" is just the opposite, the "fault tolerance" is extremely low, and a little carelessness will become "Twice Cooked Carbon"!

You must always use a frying spatula to control the ingredients in the pot. It is in the oil layer below the surface of the oil that is ignited by the pot, and cannot touch the bottom of the pot. The control of oil, fire, ingredients, and even the pot is all Don't be negligent...

"The color of the yak meat that has been cooked and fried first has a feeling of dried meat, showing a bright red color..."

"Yes, the dragon head dish is still green? Obviously it came out of such a big fire."

"Anyway, let's try it first!"

...

Several elderly people were stunned after taking the dried yak that they were fancy-fried into their mouths. They only felt the unique "bull taste" of yak, mixed with the spicy taste, and instantly filled their mouths. nose!

I even saw it in a daze, a strong yak...wrong!It's a group of sturdy yaks, with flames on their bodies, wanting to rush by themselves!

Not just flames, every yak is even tied with swords, guns and swords...

wrong!Not a weapon, but gastrodia elata, star anise, green onion, ginger, sea pepper...

Groups of yaks formed into a fire ox-like formation, flooding the mouths of several elders!

In an instant, I felt my tongue, mouth, and throat, as if I were being baptized by fire and spices!

But at the same time, what I felt was not destruction, but a hearty enjoyment!

The whole person seems to be sublimated in the "Fire Bull Array"...

"Um...this, this is..."

"It looks dry, but the fragrant gravy is actually locked inside!"

"There is also this leading dish. It doesn't seem to come out of a big fire at all. It still tastes like it has only been blanched, but it has a lot of temperature, and the taste after oil..."

"Yes! Bite it while it's hot, the meat slices are crispy on the outside, but still juicy on the inside..."

"Although it looks like a lot of oil has been added before, it doesn't feel greasy at all, making the taste of dragon head dishes and yak meat reach the peak!"

"Indeed...obviously yak meat is not suitable for frying..."

"And is this really'stir-fried'? Although there is no'stir-fried' in Tibetan cuisine, we are not ignorant of Chinese cuisine... But this is the first time we have seen this kind of control over heat!"

"Wait, is this really a fire control?"

And Liu Subaru Star also said at this time: "Of course it is'Fire', the'Fire' of Chinese cuisine, represents not only'Fire'... In terms of high temperature, steam, air, hot water, hot oil... are all'Fire'. Part of'! And among these'non-fire fires','pot' is the most direct embodiment of flame!

A true master of fire will definitely be able to master this "flame" with the shape of a "pot"!For the chef, there is nothing to worry about whether "Flame" is urgent or slow. "Flame" is also the profound meaning of this "Fire Bull burst"!"

That's right, the reason why the "fire cow bursts" yak beef has the dual attributes of being crispy and overflowing with gravy. It is precisely because of the meticulous mastery of "emergency fire" that the yak beef slices do not directly touch the hot bottom of the pot. Or it is heated directly by the flame in the pan for a "long time", but is fried in oil, and the gravy is also locked inside, so there is no jerky feeling of frying...

Of course, in order to make the oil have a deep temperature, the amount is very large. When it is in the pot, except for the surface layer that is in direct contact with the air, the lower part will not burn, and the final throw is not all for vision The effect is to spread the oil so that all of it can come into contact with the air.

Under Liu Subaru's control, the oil was scattered to the point where it could be burned out instantly, and in the last less than a second, all the oil was burned out!

In this way, there is not too much oil in the "fire cow burst", and it does not destroy the low-fat and low-fat characteristics of yak meat...

The onlookers stared blankly at the four elders who served as judges. After tasting the first bite, they began to frantically sweep up a plate of fried twice-cooked pork...

In a short while, the yak meat and leading dishes have all bottomed out!

After all, because of the way of cooking, Liu Subaru's "Fire Bull Sudden" can't cook too much at a time, but only a small portion is fried, and there are only 20 slices of meat in total.

"Cough cough, I'll try a few other dishes later..." After seeing the bottom of the plate, an elderly person concealed his embarrassment by coughing.

Liu Subaru's full bull banquet is naturally not only the "fire bull burst", but this one is indeed the most brilliant, and it is also used to attract the attention of the judges!

Regarding the level of cuisine, although the "Mirror in the Kitchen Heart" is not used, it is already firmly in the tiger class, and it is enough to exist as a signature dish in a two-star restaurant.

But as the signature dish of the three-star restaurant, it is a bit inferior...

After all, this "fire bull burst" has more emphasis on "spices" and "heating" than sword skills. If Liu Maoxing now masters the "Spice Spirit" or "Sword Skill", then It is likely to reach three stars.

And if the three basic "marrows" are all mastered, and the spices and equipment here are provided, Liu Subaru is given a little chance to try, Lin-level is not impossible!

Even if it is far from reaching the peak, this "fire bull burst" is enough to shock the judges.

And compared to Deji's "Roasted Whole Beef", Liu Subaru's dishes are indeed more diverse!

In addition to the impressive "fire ox burst", there are also "casserole sweet and sour red bull soup" made with scalloped tendon, that is, foreleg meat, cut into pieces and stewed with tomatoes and onions; it is picked up and rinsed. Rock grilled beef brisket made of rock; raw grilled black pepper yak steak made of eye meat; added various spices, high barley wine, and even a few slices of "knife party" by Liu Maoxing himself, imitating The formula of "casserole simmered deer tendon" and the improved "wine simmered oxtail"...

In terms of cold food, the money shank, which is the hind leg meat, is simmered with Liu Subaru's sauce prepared with existing spices, sliced ​​and served as a cold dish with the sauce.

The other is the "yak salad" as a finishing touch!

Now that the "fire cow burst" has been used to make the beginning cannon loudly, the dishes that are naturally used to finish must also make people's eyes shine, so that there will be no "anticlimax" feeling...

So for the penultimate dish, Liu Maoxing hinted that after the judges had tasted the "wine simmering oxtail", while the judges were still immersed in the softness and tenderness of the simmering oxtail, they put out the last "yak salad"!

"This is... the cooked hind leg meat, mixed with dragon head vegetables, cherries, apples, and... persimmons, is it a'salad'?" Although the elder in the village is not Ma Qin, he has a wealth of tasting experience. , Naturally it is impossible not to call the name of Salad.

Jiuzhaigou is generally about 4000 meters above sea level. It is difficult for ordinary vegetables to survive here, but they also have their own special fruits and vegetables!

For example, the sweet cherries cultivated in Jiuzhaigou, or the branch of big cherries, "Jiuzhaigou sweet cherries", as well as the shading apples suitable for high-altitude planting, also known as "high mountain apples", and the specialty "Jiuzhaigou persimmons", which are all combined with fern Together with the dishes, Liu Subaru was used as the last salad ingredient.

As the main ingredient of the salad dressing, Liu Subaru also took the ingredients locally and chose the "ghee" made from yak milk!

The salad composed of boiled beef, vegetables, and fruits is quite an American salad style. However, for the sauce, Pleiades Liu chose ghee as the core and flavor-based composition without adding excess sugar. Products.

The difference is that although the "Yak Salad" of Liu Subaru Star was put together in the end, it actually involves mixing the fruits and vegetables with ghee sauce first, and then covering the yak beef...

The yak meat was previously diluted with yak raw soup and mixed with oyster sauce. When tasting, the yak meat has a completely different flavor from other fruits, vegetables and fruits, but even if they are taken together, the taste of the yak milk ghee in the fruits and vegetables serves as Bridge, there will be no feeling of disagreement!

Erina saw it even more. This salad of Pleiades Liu also used some special techniques to form a temperature difference and create a different taste after cooking separately. It can be regarded as "learning and selling now"!

Moreover, the yak meat and bracken as the main ingredients of the salad are also derived from the same ingredients as the "fire cow burst" at the beginning. Therefore, the ending is not abrupt, but it is refreshing and delicious. The aftertaste of the whole cattle banquet...

"Finally finished tasting, and I really want to eat it... ahem! I mean, I finally started to taste Deji Maqin's roasted whole beef!"

"How do I feel... The degree of attention that several elders seem to pay to Deji Maqin is not as good as this kid..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Although Deji Maqin's'seven-fold roasted yak' has not been displayed publicly, it is a skill that even several other Maqins can praise!"

"Yes, Deji Maqin who is serious will not lose! Uncle Deji is not just Maqin from Shuzhengzhai..."

Some onlookers off the court seemed to be worried about Deji Maqin, but Deji himself didn't seem to care. When the four elders who were the judges came over, they took out the sharp knives in a hurry. All the nine pieces of barbecue that were previously "dug" out and "buried" back were cut out...

Some are sliced, some are cut into pieces, and some are divided into quarters and topped with sauce...

It seems that in the "cooking showdown" of the Tibetans, this simple cutting of barbecue is not counted in the cooking time. At the same time, the barbecue can continue to be grilled on the fire after the time is up.

Naturally, Liu Subaru would not have any opinions on this.

Some Ma Qin who had seen this barbecue couldn't help but said: "Huh? Nine pieces of barbecue? Is it more double than the previous seven?"

"Yes, when I first released the carbon, I discovered that the amount and location of the carbon was different from before!"

"Sure enough, Deji is not standing still..."

Deji's seven-fold...Ah, no, it is a nine-fold barbecue, divided into two parts, fine roasting and rough roasting. At the same time, there is not only one type of fine roasting. There are different positions and different methods of "seven-fold" or "nin-fold". Baked at different temperatures!

In Tibetan culture, Wangdan and avoiding double are also reflected in food culture. It is the opposite of Han who like to make banquets with even dishes. Seven and nine are all odd.

At this time, Liu Subaru also took advantage of the efforts of several elders to taste barbecue. After Uncle Deji gave his consent, he cut the remaining whole cow into pieces...

Sure enough, apart from the nine specially processed barbecues, there was no waste in the other parts of the whole cow, and every part of the meat was completely cooked!

It is usually good to roast whole cattle or whole lamb. Such a large livestock cannot be roasted whole, but it only takes more than three hours. The mystery of "Nine-fold roasted yak" is naturally contained in these " Built-in carbon fire" on.

Although the carbon in the several layers of iron nets has not been extinguished, Liu Maoxing picked it up without hesitation and said it was amazed... Of course, for the sake of everyone's three views, Liu Maoxing perfunctorily laid a towel, which was the same one just now!

"It turns out that the ignited charcoal is put in several layers of fine-pored iron nets, and then the vent plug above will introduce air and at the same time play the role of'blowing' the burned carbon ash as much as possible! As a result, in addition to the outside bonfire, there are seven internal heat sources!

It is equivalent to roasting inside and outside at the same time, and the natural time is greatly shortened...At the same time, it is also equivalent to grilling several other finely roasted pieces of roasted meat with yak meat in between, as well as'flame roast suckling pig' Similarities!In addition to using yak as a food ingredient, it is also used as a kitchen utensil!"Liu Subaru saw the mystery.

If it weren't for the scruples of "challenging Ma Qin" rules, Liu Subaru would have passed the four judges to grab meat...

However, the appetite and appetite of the four judges really scared Liu Subaru. They all seem to be quite young, but they have a somewhat "very old" aura.

Well, "Lianpo is old" allusion, Liu Maoxing has also heard people say, probably before Zhao Wang wanted to reuse Lianpo, Lianpo's political opponents embarrassed him and made him the arbitration of Zhao and Wei's "cooking showdown" In order to be loyal to the sacred mission of "cooking confrontation arbitrator" at that time, Lian Po, who was very old at that time, ate more than young people. He tried to solve several times in the middle and finished all the tasting... Later, he used it as a metaphor. Judges who are loyal to their duties!

Although both sides have enough dishes, there will be a bonfire party later, and everyone in the village will participate, so there will be no waste.

But Liu Subaru staring at the posture of several elders, it is not his turn to taste the nine-fold barbecue, but at this moment, Liu Subaru suddenly heard something, the part where the nine-cube barbecue was implanted and pasted. Cut off some of the barbecue on the inner wall. Taking advantage of the attention of the elders on the Jiuzhong barbecue, Liu Maoxing quickly "stole" some sauce from the side and tasted it first...

Although the taste of these nearby inner walls is only close, it should be different from the real "Nine-fold Roast", but Liu Subaru's "super taste" is already enough to "tongue" (probably just like "brain supplement" Mean) the full version of the taste!

In this way, although I did not taste the "genuine", my heart is still itchy, but I have already estimated the level of "Ninefold Roast"...

De Ji is worthy of being a chef who has studied French and Thai cuisine after ten years of travel around the world. Almost each of the nine roasted meats symbolizes the flavors of different regions, and it is not just a simple imitation, but has already entered the woods. !

Regarding the level of cuisine, I am afraid that each of them will have the level of the signature dishes of the two-star restaurant, but it is slightly inferior to the hot and cold cores of Liu Maoxing’s "Fire Bull Sudden" and "Yak Salad". , But it is comparable to the other dishes in Liu Maoxing’s Quan Niu Banquet, and there are even several that are still superior...

After all, when Deji started, he was actually "modest". He was more than Maqin from Shuzhengzhai?Moreover, he also serves as the honorary Maqin of the other eight villages. When traveling around the world, although he is far less than Cheng Ichiro, he is also a small famous wandering chef... (To be continued.)
