The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 257
"Sure enough, the fishy smell is more obvious after cutting it..."
"That's right, and just now when Liu Subaru was under the knife, because it was too fast, I couldn't see anything, but when the people of the'Central Food Organization' dismembered the eel, it was obvious that the giant eel had some meat... Dealing with difficulty!"
To say "handle it" means to be too old!The students at the Central Food Department just now had to use a saw...
"Can it really be made into delicious dishes? Although I heard that the nutritional value of this item is almost twice that of normal eel, if..."
"Okay! I haven't participated in similar banquets. Most of the ingredients for this kind of "curious" are just a curious one? How delicious do you want to be?"
Some whispering voices have been heard in the banquet room. Although there may not be many pure cooks among them, they have very rich experience as old diners. I can see that this giant eel is actually not suitable for cooking. Ingredients... At least if there is only one "head", it is not suitable for ingredients!
There is only one "head", which means that there is no opportunity for the cook to practice. The only way to cook is by using the observed nature of the meat and applying recipes with similar ingredients.
That is to test the chef's observation ability and knowledge, and at the same time test the innovation ability!
At the same time, it is obvious that the nature of giant eel meat is very different from ordinary eel meat, which also increases the difficulty of cooking...
The meat of giant eel is somewhat like whale steak. Whether it is fried or boiled, it seems to be fried or boiled old!
Of course, the muscles on the bear’s paw are definitely more testy than giant eels and whale steaks, but because in the past, there were enough samples for the chef to study, naturally there will be special cooking methods, but giant eels There is no way for this kind of unacceptable variant species.
As one of them said, this "banquet with rare ingredients as the protagonist", that is, eating a "fun", may not be as delicious as the delicacies they usually taste, but it is also good to let them taste new flavors... …
The little discussion in the banquet room obviously did not affect the two parties who were cooking.
After cutting off the needed eel meat, both parties chose to temporarily refrigerate, and then began other preparation processes. The auxiliary materials they used were also the focus of everyone's attention.
"Huh? The people from the Central Food Authority are dealing with... avocado?"
"Yes, there are also burdock, yam... Is this to make'avocado eel roll'?"
"But the'Avocado and Eel Roll' doesn't need pinto beans, green peppers, and onions...and those colorful leafy vegetables. Are they kale?"
"In general, the auxiliary materials are mainly vegetables and edible plant rhizomes and fruits to counteract the fishy smell in the giant eel meat, right?"
Everyone started talking about the ingredients prepared by Nan Nan Taro and others.
At the same time, compared to Liu Subaru and the Central Food Authority, the atmosphere on both sides is not on the same channel...
At the central food department, more than a dozen people are all busy, each carrying out their own processes, just like a high-speed assembly line.
On Liu Subaru's side, there is only one person, and it seems that he is not in a hurry at this time, giving people a "comfortable" feeling, but if you compare it carefully, you will find that Liu Subaru's subordinates are actually not slow at all, but they are just moving. I am more prosperous and I don’t do any unnecessary things, so I feel comfortable...
"It seems that both sides are very skilled?"
"Well, although it is the first time they have faced this kind of food, they should use their own recipes and improve them..."
"But both sides have used the new cooking equipment, but I don't know what it is for."
At this time, naturally, someone has discovered that whether it is a person from the central food department or Liu Subaru, there are large-scale equipment in the cooking station area!
"Let me see, I have studied these things some time ago... Well, it seems that the Central Food Authority is the'Molecular Mousse Frother', and Liu Subaru's is the'colloid component separation and condensation machine'."
"Colloidal component? Is it something like collagen?"
"By the way, what Liu Subaru is using is really a soup-based dish... and he has prepared eight kinds of soup?"
"'Sure enough,'? Is he good at soup cooking?"
"Yes, in the'Hokkaido Seafood Pasta Contest' before, his seafood steamed buns were made with dry goods and soup from the seafood broth as the filling juice... If you remember correctly, there should be eight kinds!"
"Is it going to make the meat of'Giant Eel' into steamed buns?"
"It should not be. He didn't see flour in his auxiliary materials..."
Just as everyone was speculating, the two sides finally took out the eel. Among them, the "central food organization" was mostly lumpy eel meat, while Liu Subaru's split was long strips.
On the side of the central food organization, all the eels were first placed in front of Kumagai Shindo...
Well, the focus of everyone's discussion at this time is, is this really a student?Is it true that the "central food institution" is actually oriented towards education for 0 people?
Hiroi wanted to show their identification to prove that even though Kumagai Shibuchi was anxious, he was really only 17 years old!
Kumai Shindo, who looks like a ferocious facial features, does not have a great deal of sword skill, but it is not as exquisite and delicate as the contrast of Misaku Subaru...
If there are any special features, it is...standard!
Like the standard illustrations in textbooks, the cooks of the "central food institution" have obviously used the basic skills they need, especially these young students.
Liu Subaru estimated that it was mainly because these young students were all trained by Nagaki thistle, and among the other adult cooks, they should all take care of art...
I saw a piece of eel meat, which quickly turned into a piece of eel slices of moderate thickness, and on the other side, Kuantaro was already heating a simulated rock platform with a heating plate, and there was a temperature measuring instrument next to it.
"Huh? Is this going to be similar to Kabayaki eel?"
"But the Kabayaki sauce that the female student over there is serving is a little bit worrying..."
"By the way, is that girl laughing at someone? Why does she keep laughing?"
"No, from my observation, it's just that her eyes are awkward..."
That's right, it is Liang Jing Mei Ai who is in charge of the sauce used for Kabayaki.
Kabayaki refers to a cooking method in the island country where the fish is broken open from the back, deboned, and then the spread fish is grilled with sauce.
The "roasting" can be either charcoal grilling or iron grilling. It can also be fried at home...Naturally, rock grilling is used like this.
Kabayaki is actually very common when cooking eel, but "giant eel" is obviously not suitable for ordinary Kabayaki technique. If the fish is just spread out after breaking the back...the thick fish of the bucket is divided into two halves, it is hard to see It might be cooked!
So Kumagai Shimichi sliced these pieces of eel first.
On the other hand, Liu Subaru is different. First, the eel meat with the arm length is peeled, and then on the side of the peeled eel, a two-thirds deep incision is made at intervals of about two fingers wide to make one. The meat of the eel is still continuous, but it will also be segmented.
At this time, a device for separating and solidifying colloids was also used, and only a piece of light yellow edible colloid was taken out by Liu Maoxing...
"Huh? What is this? Artificial ingredients?" Someone was puzzled.
And Jue Yue, who had been watching around Liu Subaru, answered at this time: "It should be a condensed block of collagen and some plant fiber components, made of boneless trotters and some crushed herbs..."
"But it should be the people of the central food organization, who have more advantages... Not only are there many people, but they are standing behind them, but the Naginari thistle! Although ten years have passed, the name is still unforgettable. , If he hadn't had a quarrel with the Food Demon back then, Yuanyue would be stronger now, right?"
"Impossible, their ideas are completely different, how can it be possible to cooperate? If he is still in the past ten years, it will only make internal friction worse!"
"Indeed, this time when Naginaki thistle came back, he was in trouble with the'Gourmet Demon'..."
"From my point of view, Senzaemon himself did not have the confidence to be able to compare with Naginari Thistle, otherwise, why did he drive him away with a guilty conscience? Wouldn't it be that the directors would be attracted by Naginari Thistle and threaten him? Otherwise? Even if there is a conflict of ideas, the competition is not enough? Nakiri thistle is already surnamed "Nakiri"! Besides, it is still Erri..."
"Ahem, okay, Murazawa, we don't know about that ten years ago... Mr. Horekoshi, you seem to be very optimistic about Liu Subaru's appearance and have been paying attention to him?"
Someone turned the subject off, obviously realizing that Erina was in the banquet hall, and it was rumored to be at odds with her father!
"That's right, a guy who is worth looking forward to... For this cooking alone, you are probably more optimistic about the Central Food Authority? But I think that some things in cooking are not explained by theory or experience, nor are there any. Someone's guidance can replace something more important!" said Horie Yue.
Obviously many people think that Jue Yue's statement is too ideal. After all, this kind of cooking with unfamiliar ingredients is obviously more beneficial to the central food organization, because everyone knows who they stand behind...
At this time, Liu Subaru was not affected by the outside world, and was quickly cutting the gel into pieces, and put one piece in each cut of the striped eel meat.
After that, he took out the white mud-like substance from the equipment and brushed a layer in an iron pot with an arc bottom.
Horakoshi continued to explain: "That is the fat layer colloid separated from the ordinary eel..."
Afterwards, Liu Subaru did not intend to heat the iron pan directly. Instead, he spread the eel meat with the collagen flakes side up in the iron pan, and then put the whole iron pan in the steamer...
